Neither of them dared to speak up in their defense; they could only lower their heads, get up, and obediently return to their positions.
[Guagua, it's so quiet! Has the morning assembly ended?]
Shen Mingzhu's thoughts had just begun to emerge when the discussions continued, but the volume of the discussions gradually decreased.
[Host, the grand assembly has only just begun!]
[Guagua, another piece of gossip! I was just interrupted by Prince An. You know, he's so old, and he just fainted in the main hall. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was faking an accident!]
Our ministers of the Great Yan Dynasty need to exercise more, otherwise what if a whole bunch of them fall ill when the Little Ice Age comes?
No one is willing to risk their lives for the imperial court anymore!
I have to wake up my crown prince fiance, the sky can't fall!
[Host, you're such a virtuous fiancée!]
Absolutely!
The ministers: ...It is our blessing to have you!
[Guagua, come on, have some melon to wake me up, I'm about to fall asleep!]
[Host, do you see that imposing and burly man up ahead?]
[Guagua, which one? Several of the previous generals look the same!]
The entire court of military officers stood tall and proud, displaying an air of arrogance and self-importance, as if they were the most powerful people in the land.
[It's that guy with the full beard, who looks like Guan Yu with his red face!]
Oh, I saw it!
General Pei Siyan shuddered, feeling as if he was being pricked by thorns.
Now all the eyes of the court officials are focused on him.
He tried to recall the first half of his life, and found it to be good, without any blemishes.
He was just that clean.
He doesn't have any melons on him!
Pei Siyan looked proud and smug.
Want to see him make a fool of himself? Dream on!
Seeing his confident demeanor, the military officer who was on good terms with him quietly punched him.
"Great job, Lao Pei, you've really made our military officers proud!"
"I'll treat you to drinks after court!"
Pei Siyan: "No problem!"
[Host, let me tell you, that General Pei is a real bull, and Madam Pei is so pitiful!]
Pei Siyan's face was flushed, and now even his neck was red!
Shen Mingzhu is utter nonsense!
He and his wife were deeply in love and enjoyed bliss together every night. What nonsense was she spouting?
Unable to turn around and look for Shen Mingzhu, he kept glaring at Minister Shen Changyuan.
Those glares flew out like daggers!
Shen Changyuan: ...
Pei Siyan: ...Shen Mingzhu wronged him! He's even more wronged than Dou E!
His colleague next to him hit him.
"Brother Pei, you don't beat my sister-in-law at home, do you?"
"What nonsense! I never hit women. My wife is gentle, elegant, and quiet. We have a great relationship!"
"If you slander me again, watch out for my fist!"
Upon seeing this, the civil officials nearby kept their distance!
He throws his fists at the drop of a hat; he's brave but reckless!
[Guagua, tell me quickly, did General Pei beat his wife? Only the most spineless man would beat up women and children!]
[Host, what are you thinking! Pei Siyan is a veteran, a general, how could he possibly raise his fist against his own wife?]
Upon hearing this, Pei Siyan immediately raised his head, like a victorious rooster.
I knew it!
Pei Siyan only knows how to throw punches at the enemy!
So what exactly happened?
Hehehe~~~
The system emitted a lewd laugh.
[Guagua, don't smile so lewdly, it's scaring me!]
[Host, don't be afraid, this melon is just a little shrewd.]
The entire court: Is this a bit too much?
What melon is it?
Emperor Jingyuan: Curious...
The noise in the hall grew quieter as everyone listened to Shen Mingzhu's revelation.
[Hehe~~~ It's just that General Pei loves Madam Pei too much. He was like a bull in bed, tossing her over and over like a fish being fried all night, until she was completely dizzy! And he even thought he was very valiant!]
Shen Mingzhu: ...
Civil officials: ...What a reckless fool!
Those military officers shouldn't listen, just watch!
There was no tenderness at all in bed; it felt like a war was still raging!
Emperor Jingyuan: His general is a bit ignorant about bedroom arts. After court, he will send him a few volumes of fire-avoidance diagrams so that he can study them carefully.
If he needs it, we can send someone to teach him.
He was such an enlightened emperor.
At this moment, Pei Siyan's face turned even redder!
Everyone knows about this!
Shen Changyuan: It's over! It's over! It's all over!
Why is my perfectly innocent young daughter discussing these things with that silly system!
Fortunately, His Majesty has already bestowed the person upon His Highness the Crown Prince in marriage
If His Majesty is dissatisfied with her and decides to annul the engagement, their family will absolutely not agree!
He remembered that there was a blank imperial edict at home, passed down from his ancestors!
Should he use it this time?
Now all the officials in the court know about his daughter's character!
Will an imperial censor impeach Mingzhu?
He glanced at the Censorate and, seeing that no one was making a move, breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Shen Changyuan: ...Please, daughter, stop talking!
Besides, none of your brothers can find wives!
Will his daughter, Shen's daughter, still be able to get married?
He was covered in cold sweat.
[Guagua, what should we do? Didn't Madam Pei communicate with him?]
[Host, how could there be no communication? But General Pei said it was because he loved her that he acted this way! Madam Pei even suggested that General Pei take a concubine, trying to share her burdens, but General Pei refused, saying he was devoted to Madam Pei!]
Ah! I truly don't know if General Pei is devoted or heartless?
Pei Siyan: ...
This is definitely a sign of being devoted and single-minded!
Don't let his current rank fool you; he only has this one woman!
He isn't like some soldiers who like to go to brothels.
[Hehehe~~~ Host, let me tell you a secret, General Pei has always been truly devoted to one woman, only Madam Pei!]
Speaking of this, Pei Siyan raised his head again.
[Guagua, why?!]
Yeah, why?
The officials and civil and military officials were also somewhat curious.
After all, nowadays, any official usually has concubines or maids. For a mighty general to only have one woman means either he loves her deeply or he is not capable of having one!
General Pei's ability to spend an entire night intimately with Madam Pei, like frying fish, clearly indicates that it was not the latter.
Could it be that General Pei is so pure and devoted that he only loves Madam Pei?
Wouldn't this make all the ladies and young women in Shengjing envious?
Pei Siyan: My wife is destined to be the envy of the entire capital!
He said he only loved her!
[Host, when General Pei and Madam Pei pledged their love, they said they wished to be together forever, that they would grow old together. General Pei hoped she would be his only woman in his life, and he promised! And he kept his word!]
General Pei: A promise made will be kept, and a promise kept will be fulfilled!
This is his principle.
The ministers: We don't know whether Lady Pei should be happy or disappointed.
[Guagua, so what about now? Does Madam Pei regret it?]
Yes, Madam Pei is now filled with regret. She never expected General Pei to actually do this. Except for the period when she was pregnant and giving birth, during which they could not have intercourse, General Pei would spend every night with Madam Pei!]
General Pei: I am in great shape!
That's how amazing it is!
I'm not as weak as you civil servants!
