Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Lan Xi, I heard from Yuan Kun that he asked you for his marriage." Liu asked cautiously.

Shen Lanxi: "Yes, he asked to marry my female guard leader, but I didn't agree at first."

Liu seemed to be thoughtful: "Is that so~" Why did he agree later?

Wasn’t Tian Qiuman a refugee before?

Shen Lanxi: "Yuan Kun exchanged it for his military exploits."

Liu was shocked. How come she didn't know about this?

Her son didn’t tell her!

"Lan Xi, how can you exchange military merits for marriage?" She had already inquired about Tian Qiuman. He had no father or mother, and all his family members died when they were fleeing famine. He was a miserable and unlucky man.

Shen Lanxi: "I didn't agree at first, but Yuan Kun said he would marry no one but Tian Qiuman."

The corner of Liu's mouth twitched. This really sounded like something her stupid son would do.

"Lan Xi, for a family like ours, do we really want to let Tian Qiuman marry in? Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Shen Lanxi asked with a half-smile: "What kind of family are we?"

Liu choked.

She wanted to say that it was the Shen family, the relatives of the Minister of Revenue. But the Minister of Revenue was Shen Congwen, the eldest wife, and had nothing to do with their second wife.

I wanted to say that he was a relative of the Duke of Protectorate, but just like the first reason, I couldn't say it.

Their second branch does rely on the first branch for support. If they were to say that they have any official titles or abilities, they really don't have any.

She wanted to say that her boss had been a pioneer...

Her second child once ranked...

I can't even express the feeling.

Seeing that she couldn't hold it in for a long time, Shen Lanxi turned and left.

Hu Jinyu was playing with her children in the yard. When she saw Shen Lanxi coming, she went to greet her with a smile.

"My lord is back."

Shen Lanxi looked at the baby girl who was staggering as she walked, and the baby boy in the nanny's arms, then smiled and looked away.

"You have done your best for this child."

Hu Jinyu was a smart person and knew what Shen Lanxi meant. She smiled gently and said, "Yuan Xu said that when she grows up, he will prepare a generous dowry for her and marry her off to a wealthy family like a daughter."

Shen Lanxi said meaningfully: "This is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her mother is about your age. You should have something to talk about."

Hu Jinyu's eyes flashed, and then she said, "It's all my fault that I became slow after giving birth. I love my children, and this child's mother must be heartbroken too."

Shen Lanxi was quite satisfied with Hu Jinyu's quick understanding.

"With this child here, Yuan Xu's relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion is unclear."

Hu Jinyu smiled and nodded. Before, she only wanted to distance herself from the relationship, but she didn't expect that this relationship could be used.

Now the Left Prime Minister is one of the four regent ministers. Yuan Xu is studying at Bailu Academy, so he might be able to lend him some help when it comes to the imperial examination.

Shen Lanxi heard some more about the things happening in the mansion from Hu Jinyu. When she was about to go back, she heard a noise coming from the direction of the main room.

Hu Jinyu said speechlessly: "It must be a commotion again."

Soon a maid came to report.

"Miss Yuantang and Miss Yuanhe had a conflict, and Miss Yuantang slapped Miss Yuanhe."

Hu Jinyu: "I thought it was Yuan Tang who was causing trouble for Liang Xinyi's children again."

Shen Yuantang had just learned from Hu Jinyu that Shen Yuantang often made things difficult for Liang Xinyi and her son, but she did not comment on this.

The one who should be worried about this matter is the troublemaker, her father.

"Please take good care of the child. I have to go and get busy."

There was a flash of surprise in Hu Jinyu's eyes. She thought something had happened in the mansion and she wanted to go and inquire about it.

I didn't expect that she didn't take it to heart at all.

Doesn’t she care a lot about her family?

Looking at Shen Lanxi's back, Hu Jinyu's past cognition was once again stirred.

She thought that women should always take care of their husbands and children, but this was overturned in Shen Lanxi's case.

Can women really be as free and easy as men in the end?

She didn't agree with it deep down.

No matter how successful Shen Lanxi is now, her final destination will still be the backyard.

She could leave easily now because the court still needed her.

Once the court no longer needs her, she will have to retreat to the rear house.

This is the difference between women and men.

~

Bai Qingling is back, and she almost brought back the successor of Guiguzi.

It was almost there. If it weren't for the imperial edict issued by His Majesty, she would have returned to the capital to report to the prince long ago.

Fortunately, it is not all without gain.

Although she did not bring back the successor of Guiguzi, she brought back a hermit who was on par with Guiguzi. This hermit was not as conspicuous as the successor of Guiguzi, and she designed a plan to save this hermit. With this life-saving grace, this hermit can definitely assist the prince wholeheartedly.

When Shen Lanxi was summoned into the palace, she saw a strange face following Zhou Ruyuan.

"Your Majesty!"

She could calmly call Zhou Ruyuan by his honorific title, but Zhou Ruyuan couldn't do it freely.

In just a short period of time, Shen Lanxi has gone from a woman who could not enter the court to a first-rank Duke of Protectorate who is on par with him.

If it weren't for the title of God of War bestowed by their father, they would all be on equal terms.

"Lan Xi..." It would be inappropriate not to say hello, so Zhou Ruyuan still chose a suitable name.

Shen Lanxi: "This is the palace, Your Majesty, it is more appropriate to call me by my official title."

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "Duke Protector of the Country."

Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "His Majesty summoned me to the palace. It must be about the Fifth Prince. A decision has been made."

Zhou Ruyuan never thought that one day he would be able to discuss state affairs with Shen Lanxi at the same time.

He was a little speechless.

"The Fifth Prince's fiefdom is a barren land. I don't know how he managed to gather 200,000 soldiers and horses."

Zhou Ruyuan wanted to speak, but pursed his lips again.

"What the court lacks most right now is manpower. Your Majesty must be very happy to have obtained an army of 200,000."

Zhou Ruyuan thought to himself, this is natural. Now all the troops of the Great Zhou have been sent out to guard against foreign enemies in all directions. The court is empty, and my father must be worried about the loss of imperial power.

With these 200,000 troops, we can just solve the temporary problem.

I just don’t know who will be sent to receive it?

Thinking of this, Zhou Ruyuan's eyes darkened again. It was obvious that his father had begun to fear him.

"Who do you think the emperor will send to take over?" Zhou Ruyuan couldn't help but ask.

Before, my father was so afraid of Shen Lanxi's command of the army that he tried his best to split the troops under her control.

Father will definitely not let Shen Lanxi take over these 200,000 troops.

There are a few available people in the Ministry of War, and we can make some arrangements and replace them with his men when the time comes.

Shen Lanxi: "Your heart is hard to predict, I don't know either."

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes flashed: "Father has trusted you so much recently, I thought he would tell you."

Shen Lanxi raised her lips and said, "No matter how much my uncle trusts me, it's definitely not as good as his own son. The King of Zhennan is the God of War, so it's only natural for him to be in charge of the world's troops!"

Zhou Ruyuan pursed his lips and said calmly, "Let's not speculate casually. We'll be at the Yangxin Palace soon."

He had thought about becoming the commander-in-chief of the world's army before, and he was full of hope. But now it seems that it is impossible.
