Transmigrated into a useless female in interstellar space, she won big by picking up an SSS-level be

Chen Li only escorted him to the palace gate before reluctantly waving goodbye.

She's been running around for the past six months, and now that things have calmed down, her first thought is naturally to go home.

Jiang Huai, who was also returning home, was kicked into the conference room.

"Bang!"

Wu Zhan slammed the door shut and locked it deftly.

Jiang Huai turned his head and was completely shocked.

On the long table, documents were piled up from one end to the other, one small mountain after another!

"Oh! Father! You haven't helped me at all!"

At the same time, as Jiang Huaiqi wailed miserably.

From a side hall of the palace came Jiang Zhixia's exclamation.

"Huh? I can't enter as royalty?"

Jiang Zhixia stared wide-eyed at her mother, then at her father.

Jiang Lin nodded calmly.

"Yes, this is the task I'm assigning you. At the birthday banquet, I will announce the changes to the female protection law, but you cannot appear as a royal princess."

Jiang Zhixia was only stunned for a moment before her eyes suddenly lit up.

"I understand! Mother means for me to debut as an Imperial general, holding the rank of Second Lieutenant in the military!"

Jiang Lin smiled slightly, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Yes, this is the most direct way to show it to those nobles."

Wu Zhan stood to the side, somewhat worried.

"But Xiaxia, you've just returned from the front lines. You're the only female in the empire's history with military power. Public opinion is already huge, and it will only get worse. Can you handle it?"

Jiang Zhixia was delighted upon hearing this.

She pointed to herself, "Father, have you forgotten how much public opinion you faced a year ago? How could I not bear it?"

Wu Zhan paused for a moment.

A little over a year ago, my daughter was at the height of her obsession with romance.

The entire intergalactic world was mocking the Third Princess for being a lovesick, useless woman who humbly chased after males all over the intergalactic world, was collectively rejected by the female community, and was talked about as a joke by the nobles in private.

"How can that be the same?" Wu Zhan glared at her sternly. "Back then, it was just petty gossip, everyone just watched the show and moved on. Who remembers it now! This time, it's a serious matter, so many nobles are watching! You need to be prepared to handle this all by yourself!"

Jiang Zhixia nodded seriously after listening.

My mother's idea will indeed shift all the conflict onto me. Those who support it and those who oppose it will use me as an example to argue their point.

But this could be the first step in reforming female protection laws!

She suddenly laughed, then winked mischievously at her mother and father, as if she had just thought of something.

"Who said it's just me?"

Isn't there also Jiang Lian?

……

Soon, it was the day of the Queen's birthday banquet.

The orbit around the capital star and the starport route are filled with private ships bearing various noble insignia, and all kinds of spaceships are parked everywhere.

The nobles and royal families from various star regions seemed to have realized that this birthday banquet was not so simple, so they rushed over as soon as they were invited.

Ordinary people certainly cannot participate in the royal birthday banquet, but the discussions on the StarNet are overwhelming.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the palace.

That evening, the main hall of the palace was brightly lit.

Under the enormous dome, crystal chandeliers hung down, and the clean floor reflected the luxurious hems of the nobles' robes.

Before the banquet officially began, the nobles, both male and female, gathered in small groups.

Some were chatting idly, while others had serious expressions and seemed to be deep in thought.

Some of them had been reprimanded by His Majesty or had heard about the Empress's recent movements, so they roughly knew what would happen today.

Others, however, thought it was just a birthday party.

Attendants moved about, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

The banquet officially started.

The lights came on at the entrance to the main hall.

The crowd, who had been discussing the matter, immediately bowed in greeting.

They looked inquisitively at the dignified and composed Empress, the imposing Emperor, and behind them... Hmm? Why does His Highness look so haggard?

Having stayed up all night, Jiang Huai, with dark circles under his eyes, forced himself to maintain his composure.

Ugh, I have to be extra careful and deal with these nobles today, it's so annoying.

He followed his father and mother and ascended to the throne.

However, soon someone noticed that something was wrong.

"Where is the princess?"

"Yes, where is the princess?"

"It's a bit strange that the princess isn't here today, isn't she? Wasn't she supposed to have returned from the front lines...?"

All the nobles present waited for a moment, but did not see the princess, and they could not help but start to speculate.

Could he have been injured?

Or perhaps Her Highness has prepared some gift for the Queen Consort, and it's inconvenient for her to appear now?

Could it be that he only gained a little bit of military power and that's why he's at odds with the royal family?

At the head of the table, Jiang Lin raised her wine glass and slowly surveyed the entire room.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Thank you all for coming. Before the banquet begins, I need to wait for someone."

"A person who is important to the empire and to the future of all females."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Among the crowd, some noblewomen gripped their skirts tightly, their eyes gleaming.

They had already heard rumors that the Queen had recently visited various star systems to investigate the living conditions of lower-class females, and it was very likely that she would reform the female protection law!

Some of them have already made contact in secret, while others are still observing.

But what about the princess?

How could the princess's achievements in pioneering female military exploits and leading troops into battle be overlooked!

Some of the noblewomen frowned, their faces full of confusion.

They weren't completely oblivious to the rumors; they just simply didn't care.

The Queen visited the star field to investigate the lower-class females. What does this have to do with them? They are nobles, after all.

But what's the situation now?

What "the future of all females"?

Jiang Lin put down her wine glass, turned her face slightly to the side, and gestured to the servant beside her.

"Please welcome Lieutenant Jiang Zhixia from the Military Headquarters to the stage."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

What?

The princess did not enter as a "royal princess," but instead attended the Queen's birthday banquet under the title of a military lieutenant.

What is the royal family up to?

Not only the females sensed something was wrong, but the males present also looked at each other in bewilderment.

Most of the nobles who attended the banquet were actually male, because females were scarce, and each family sent a representative from their family.

The males felt it was inappropriate for the princess to arrive as a "second lieutenant".

They knew to some extent that the front lines were dangerous, but because the empire was powerful and had a history of victories against the Zerg, they always felt that the princess's ability to go to the battlefield and even return with military merit was definitely a privilege granted by the royal family.

They didn't think the princess had it too hard going to the front lines.

General Jiang Ting, who is on the front lines, is her beast husband. Lu Jue, an SSS-level male who has never appeared in the empire before, is also her beast husband. What danger could she possibly be in?

Besides these two, there's also the Empire's genius healer, who I heard was given the position of principal wife, but the wedding hasn't been held yet.

Even though the princess went to the front lines, she wasn't idle; she seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Why are you showing off your dubious military rank at a banquet?

The door was slowly opened.

All eyes were focused on the entrance to the main hall.

Jiang Zhixia walked in wearing a second lieutenant's uniform, her back straight, her steps steady, and she calmly met all eyes.

All the nobles fell silent.

They saw Jiang Zhixia standing at the door, and in the interplay of light and shadow, they were all somewhat dazed.

As expected of someone of royal blood, his features usually resemble the Empress Dowager's, but when he suddenly puts on military uniform, he even exudes a bit of His Majesty's aura.

But... who's behind her?

Behind Jiang Zhixia, Jiang Lian, also dressed in military uniform, swallowed hard in the face of so many probing eyes.

She instinctively tried to hide behind Jiang Zhixia.

My goodness, there are so many people!

As if Jiang Zhixia had eyes in the back of her head, she grabbed her and turned around to scare her with her eyes.

"What did I just tell you?! Don't hide!"

Jiang Lian was pulled out, so she could only grin awkwardly.

Among the nobles, someone recognized her.

"Huh? Isn't this the convicted femme fatale Jiang Lian? Wasn't she punished by being sent to the front lines as a liaison officer?"

That's not right!

As a criminal, being sent to the front lines by the royal family as punishment meant there was no hope of her coming back alive!

Not only is she alive and well now, she even looks fatter!

What on earth is going on?!

Their eyes began to sharpen.

Jiang Lian: "..."

Something doesn't feel right.

Didn't the princess say that she was attending the banquet today as a female who "makes a great contribution to the empire," so she should stand tall and be confident?
