Gu Shengyin did not stay in Jiang Huan's courtyard for long. She tried her best to ignore the slight discomfort in her body and sat in Jiang Huan's carriage to return to the Fu residence.
As she expected, her father did not sleep for the entire night.
For the first time, the father and daughter did not treat each other coldly and had a harmonious lunch in silence.
The old housekeeper watched from the side with tears in his eyes. For so many years, he had seen the old general silent and the young miss sad. He had never thought that he would be able to see the two of them bury the hatchet in his lifetime.
At the end of the month, the Di Rong tribe invaded the Northwest. Gu Shengyin was ordered by the emperor to lead the army to battle.
The night before departure, Jiang Huan came to the general's residence and poured a cup of wine for her.
"I wish you a victorious return."
Gu Shengyin smiled and nodded. As the female lead of this world, Fu Yunzhen was loved by the laws of fortune. Her title of "invincible" was not false.
She looked at her lover's increasingly rosy face. Ever since Jiang Huan took the medicine she took from the system, his body had improved a lot. The vitality that he had lost due to his congenital deficiency had also been replenished.
Gu Shengyin departed in the tenth month.
In the eleventh month of the twentieth year of Chang Sheng, there was a report of victory from the army. General Fu led the army to capture the enemy's commander alive!
At the end of the eleventh month, there was another piece of news. The Tianyun Dynasty's army had launched a surprise attack on the enemy's court and taken the head of King Di Rong!
During the emperor's birthday in the twelfth month, Fu Yunzhen brought the soldiers back to the court and presented a congratulatory gift — — a contract in which Di Rong swore to be an eternal vassal. It also included the new King Di Rong's wish to be eternally united with the Tianyun Dynasty for a hundred years.
The emperor was very happy and issued a decree on the spot to confer Fu Yunzhen the title of General Marquis. She was first rank and enjoyed the salary of a Junwang.
After this decree was issued, matchmakers came to the general's residence to propose marriage.
Everyone knew that the General Marquis was greatly favoured by the emperor. At such a young age, he was already a high-ranking official. In the future, he would be even more fortunate. Now that his engagement with Princess Shu He was canceled, he was the best candidate for a son-in-law in the eyes of the nobles.
Of course, these people were all politely rejected by General Fu.
Fu Yunzhen, on the other hand, had been used as a pretext by Jiang Huan because of this matter.
"You're quite popular these days." Jiang Huan opened his mouth and bit Gu Shengyin's fair shoulder.
Gu Shengyin gasped and said unsteadily, "Are you a dog?"
Jiang Huan chuckled, but his lower body did not stop moving. Gu Shengyin had no choice but to cling to him tightly. "I'm a dog, and I'm here to bite you, the delicious cake."
The rest of the words were left unspoken.
At the beginning of the next year, the palace issued a decree to confer the title of Princess Duanjing to represent the Tianyun Dynasty in a political marriage with Di Rong.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, there was an uproar everywhere.
Everyone knew about this kind of political marriage. It had always been those princesses who were not favored by the emperor. Sometimes, the emperor would even feel sorry for his own daughter and choose a girl of the right age from the imperial family to be conferred as a princess.
As for Princess Shu He, no matter how much everyone thought about it, they still couldn't understand why the Emperor would send his beloved daughter to Di Rong's bitter and cold place for a political marriage.
It was said that Consort Fang fainted when she heard the news. When she woke up, she went to the emperor's palace and knelt for a long time, hoping that the emperor would take back the decree.
However, even after she knelt for an entire day and night and was carried away by the eunuchs due to exhaustion, the emperor did not change his mind.
In the third month of the twenty-first year of Changsheng, Princess Duanjing led the grand political marriage procession and set off for Di Rong.
