The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

The disaster relief work has finally come to an end.

The topic of conversation among the civil and military officials lately has been nothing but that Miss Su.

Everyone was amazed to hear that Miss Su had completely subdued Peach Blossom Village in less than two hours.

They racked their brains but couldn't come up with a way to enter Peach Blossom Village, but the little girl did it.

He's an absolute genius!

This shattered the legend that outsiders couldn't enter Peach Blossom Village, and Miss Su even brought five hundred of her men with her!

Tomorrow His Majesty will reward those who made great contributions to the disaster relief efforts, and then we should be able to see that amazing young girl. The ministers were filled with anticipation.

Duke Anguo chuckled and joked, "Your humble servant is old and cannot match even a tenth of Miss Su's wisdom."

Prime Minister Feng truly hadn't expected that Miss Su would manage to subdue Peach Blossom Village in such a short time.

How exactly did that little girl cross that insurmountable chasm? It remains a great mystery.

After returning to his residence, Prime Minister Feng heard that his youngest son had also gone to Taoyuan Village for disaster relief.

He then had his servants bring his youngest son to him.

"Yuanxi, how did you manage to cross that insurmountable barrier?"

When Feng Yuanxi was in Qinghe County, he was absolutely certain of one thing: that Miss Su knew magic.

Before crossing the chasm, Miss Su ordered everyone to be blindfolded.

Then, a moment later, Miss Su ordered them to free their eyes.

When Feng Yuanxi opened his eyes, he found that they had successfully crossed the chasm. So it was obvious that Miss Su had used magic to teleport her subordinates across.

Feng Yuanxi knew that his father, the prime minister, had been targeting General Su. He felt that his father was acting out of jealousy, jealous of General Su's talent.

If her father knew that Miss Su possessed magical powers, he would probably be even more jealous and become unrecognizable. It would be better not to tell her father at all.

"Dad, I don't know. I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Prime Minister Feng was furious. His own son was siding with outsiders. "Feng Yuanxi, I am your father. Are you on Miss Su's side or your own father's side? Quickly state your opinion."

As Feng Yuanxi walked to the study door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Father, have you ever thought that if you were on the same side as Miss Su, you would definitely benefit greatly?"

Prime Minister Feng slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "I am a man of great stature and do not need to benefit from the help of a mere woman."

Prime Minister Feng's hands were bleeding profusely, but he paid no heed to the pain. He ordered his men to hurry out and deliver a message, as he wanted to gather his trusted officials together to discuss matters.

We must come up with a plan to prevent His Majesty from bestowing an official title upon Miss Su tomorrow.

About three incense sticks' time later, Vice Minister Luo and several other trusted officials of Prime Minister Feng arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.

The study in the Prime Minister's residence was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Minister Luo's voice was filled with anticipation, "Tomorrow His Majesty will reward the heroes who contributed to the disaster relief efforts, and Miss Su will most likely be there."

He had been eyeing that rumored young lady for a long time, and he was actually a little excited to finally meet Miss Su in person tomorrow.

Vice Minister Luo pinched himself hard. What's all the excitement about? What's so special about a little girl? Whether he sees her or not doesn't matter!

Prime Minister Feng, however, was calculating in every way. He said, "The number of guards in the capital is too small, only a few thousand, which is not enough to guard the imperial city. Miss Su brought a total of 13,000 people in two batches this time, so we must let Miss Su leave these more than 10,000 soldiers behind to help guard the imperial city."

He was determined to weaken Su Qianqian's strength.

Vice Minister Luo and his companions thought Prime Minister Feng's plan was brilliant and were just waiting to turn it into reality the next day.

"Furthermore, all of you must be on high alert tomorrow and absolutely not allow Emperor Qi Jing to grant Miss Su an official position."

Vice Minister Luo nodded, "Prime Minister, please rest assured. Even if you hadn't instructed me, I would have opposed granting Miss Su an official position. A mere woman shouldn't even think about climbing over us men."

The next morning at court, everyone hoped to see Miss Su in person, but they were not able to.

The group that arrived included Su Bing, Military Advisor Zhang, Qin Changfeng, and Dong Zhu.

The ministers whispered among themselves—

"Why didn't Miss Su come? She has made such a great contribution; His Majesty will surely reward her."

"What a pity! I really wanted to see what a legendary figure looked like!"

"How lucky Su Bing is! I heard that he used to be a peasant farmer in the countryside, but he rose through the ranks thanks to his daughter's achievements."

Although they opposed women's participation in politics, they couldn't help but envy Su Bing for having a good daughter who helped him achieve upward social mobility!

Did Su Bing's ancestors' graves emit auspicious smoke? How could he have given birth to such an outstanding daughter!

"Don't be so disappointed. Although Miss Su didn't come, her father, Su Bing, did. Look at the first man on the left, the one with very fair skin."

When everyone heard that Su Bing was Miss Su's father, all the civil and military officials focused their attention on Su Bing.

When Vice Minister Luo first saw Su Bing, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and couldn't help but want to get closer and speak to him, but he managed to restrain himself.

This Su Bing looks to be around forty years old, and he looks remarkably like the Vice Minister.

When he was around forty years old, he looked exactly like Su Bing in front of him.

Prime Minister Feng jokingly whispered, "Minister Luo, you wouldn't be secretly keeping a mistress, would you? It's hard to imagine someone who doesn't look so much like you if they're not your own child."

Minister Luo was completely bewildered. He never expected that someone would look so much like him, even more so than his five biological sons.

The world is truly vast and full of wonders!

Emperor Jing of Qi was in high spirits because the disaster relief was successful, and he was particularly generous in rewarding those who helped him.

"By imperial decree, Su Bing, Qin Changfeng, Dong Yong, Dong Zhu... shall each be promoted one rank."

Vice Minister Luo was envious. If he could get a search and rescue dog, it would surely make a great contribution, and he could plead for his eldest son on the spot.

If his descendants were even half as capable as the young girl, the Luo family wouldn't have fallen to this state.

Dong Yong was overjoyed. Ever since he met Miss Su through Li Gou Dan, he and his son had been on a roll.

Miss Su is truly a blessing to the Dong family.

He planned to hold a grand banquet for Miss Su's father after the court assembly, and also buy some gifts that his daughter would like for him to take back.

After the commendation was given, Prime Minister Feng stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the safety of the imperial city is paramount. Currently, the capital is only guarded by five thousand imperial guards; it is far too vulnerable and cannot withstand any attack!"

Ministers of the same faction as Prime Minister Feng stood up one after another to echo his words.

"Your Majesty, the safety of the capital is of utmost importance."

"Your Majesty, the shortage of manpower in the capital's imperial guards is a major hidden danger!"

Minister Luo said, “Your Majesty, I humbly request that the more than 10,000 troops from Qinghe County who came to provide disaster relief be left to protect the safety of the capital.”

Zhang Junshi thought to himself, "As expected, Miss Su guessed right. These ministers want to seize Miss Su's military power."

Fortunately, Miss Su had already come up with a solution in advance.

This was the first time that Military Advisor Zhang had stood before His Majesty and before all the civil and military officials. He was a little nervous, and his face and ears turned red.

He said, following the instructions given to him by Miss Su, "Your Majesty, I believe the most important task at present is to resettle the disaster victims. Countless victims are displaced, poorly clothed, and starving, and urgently need financial assistance."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi Jing realized that this was indeed the case, and that resettling the disaster victims was the most important thing at present.

Compared to the patriotism and concern of Miss Su's subordinates, his officials didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. How shameful!

The most important thing in resettling disaster victims is money. Only with money can the victims rebuild their homes and purchase large quantities of food so that they can have enough to eat.

Unfortunately, due to the intense border war, a large amount of grain and fodder was consumed, and the grain and fodder were all purchased with real gold and silver.

War is extremely expensive, so the national treasury is empty and there is simply no money to be made.

As a result, Emperor Jing of Qi tossed and turned for several nights, unable to fall asleep.

Emperor Jing of Qi said to his ministers with a troubled expression, "The national treasury is empty. I really have no choice but to rely on you civil and military officials."

Most of the people present shrank back.

They knew the emperor wanted them to donate money to the disaster victims.
