Chapter 117: The Little Princess's Worry

All of Zhou Tian's views and thoughts had already been seen through by Yun Fengyun.

But even so, Yun Fengyun still persisted in his own approach.

At this moment he sat high on the dragon throne, his eyes sweeping over the crowd to Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian was the person he valued, and moreover his greatest hope at this time.

Yet he did not know whether Zhou Tian could fully control the Pacified West Army.

Yun Fengyun frowned, doubting that Zhou Tian could completely grasp the Pacified West Army.

However, Zhou Tian was his best choice, and at this moment his only choice.

Zhou Tian was smart and acted with method.

These were the aspects Yun Fengyun agreed with.

Letting Zhou Tian take over the Pacified West Army, given his own strength and cleverness, would certainly not result in him being killed by the army.

If it were someone else, the Pacified West Army would not let them leave alive; they'd likely come in standing and leave lying down.

With a soft sigh, he said, "Adopted brother, don't blame the elder brother; this choice is good for all of us."

Inside the Pingxi Prince's Mansion, Yun Xiyue was now full of indignation.

As a newlywed, she was resplendent.

She walked back and forth on the spot, as if wanting to leave her footprints on the stone slabs.

When the news from the palace spread, Yun Xiyue felt unwilling.

Such a thing was what she least wanted to see and had never imagined.

Having just married into the Yang family, her own father the emperor openly seized his military power; after this got out, how should she face everyone in the Pingxi Prince's Mansion?

"Why? What is this for?"

Yun Xiyue shouted in anger, turning her head to look at the Azure Phoenix beside her, feeling stifled.

"What does Father Emperor intend by doing this?"

"Why seize Father's military authority?"

"The west is temporarily peaceful; it's not going to stay calm forever, so why take away Father's real power?"

"Besides, what qualifies Zhou Tian to be Acting Great General?"

"Among so many generals, they chose only Zhou Tian."

"Doesn't he know Zhou Tian and Yang Jun are completely at odds? He's doing this on purpose, deliberately targeting us!"

Yun Xiyue was fuming, holding in her anger, showing her strong dissatisfaction.

Yang Jun, meanwhile, sat aside leaning against a pillar, admiring his wife.

At this moment the furious newlywed had a flushed face, disheveled hair, and a gust of wind that made her anger more tangible.

Her clothing shifted with her steps, occasionally tightening; watching her graceful figure, Yang Jun saw her as if she were dancing lightly.

This situation should have been anticipated.

So getting angry is entirely unnecessary.

Rather than anger, why not properly enjoy the beautiful sight before us?

"I will go to the palace to see Father Emperor; we won't tolerate this anger!"

Unable to vent her inner fury, Yun Xiyue spoke while turning and hurrying out.

But as she passed Yang Jun, he grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace.

A refreshing fragrance emanated, entering Yang Jun's nostrils—the pure scent unique to a maiden.

"All right, don't be angry; I know you're doing this for my good."

Yang Jun gently rested his chin on Yun Xiyue's head, stroking her hair while speaking softly.

【Such a thing is nothing but a trade—a prince consort for military authority, simple and direct. It's just a pity that now we can only look, not sleep, a loss……】

Yun Xiyue again heard Yang Jun's inner voice; her body tensed and she gripped his arm.

"You, what are you saying?"

"I'm saying, you feel sorry for me."

Yang Jun thought of his own matters inwardly, yet showed no reaction outwardly.

Speaking warm words, he lifted her lovely face with both hands.

"To have such a lovely wife who cares for me so deeply is my blessing; other things are external, why bother worrying about them?"

A soft word, and Yun Xiyue's heart grew even more tumultuous.

【Only that self-important Zhou Tian, used by the old emperor as a spear, remains unaware of it.】

【Go on; when you reach the Pacified West Army, you'll know whether it's sweet or bitter.】

【It's a shame this woman really dares not sleep, but compared to the novel's villainess who only knows how to aid Zhou Tian, she's now far more lovable.】

Yang Jun embraced the beauty in his arms, feeling greatly satisfied.

"What did you say?"

Yun Xiyue was even more dissatisfied; this jerk of a man doesn't take the important matter of military authority to heart, yet keeps worrying about not being able to sleep with her?

"But this isn't my fault; I also want to do well, okay?"

"If I didn't know, you jerk always leave me……"

Yun Xiyue felt wronged, her face flushed red.

But she also felt relieved that, aside from worrying about not being able to sleep, Yang Jun's inner thoughts held nothing else serious.

With this mental fortitude, handling such matters poses no problem at all.

【It seems this woman's guilt toward me is growing stronger; perfect, I can take the chance to introduce her to a few sisters.】

【My wife, you are the senior wife; you ought to be sensible.】

【My Yang family had its military authority taken away, we lost our power, from now on we'll have to rely on ourselves to multiply and prosper!】

Yang Jun's thoughts left Yun Xiyue bewildered.

Lifting her head, what met her gaze was again Yang Jun's seemingly infinitely gentle eyes.

She wanted to ask, what on earth is this guy Yang Jun thinking in his heart?

But just then, Yang Jun laughed.

"Looks like it's time to introduce you to two sisters."

Yang Jun said, casually clapping his hands.

What?

Scumbag, he actually has a woman!

Yun Xiyue lifted her head and saw the green gauze and red dress; just then the slanting sunlight shone, casting a golden hue over the two women's clothes, making them, already beautiful, shine even more dazzlingly.

"Come, this is Sister Mo Qingyan."

Yang Jun began the introduction, but at that moment, a sharp pain shot through.

【This woman, it hurts!】

Yun Xiyue pinched the tender flesh on Yang Jun's waist, exerting force fiercely.

Hurts? What's wrong?

Mo Qingyan and Leng Qingyue, seeing this, looked puzzled, all turning their gazes over.

Leng Qingyue, however, had doubts in her heart: Could it be that she's feeling sorry for her senior sister?

Mo Qingyan, on the other hand, had other thoughts: Is he feeling sorry for Yun Xiyue?

Although Yun Xiyue expressed her dissatisfaction this way, she herself also understood that between her and Yang Jun, she hadn't yet been completely dominated by him.

Now, regarding the matter of the Yang family's military authority, no matter how the court struggles unfold, she must bear responsibility.

And what makes her feel most guilty is that she cannot fulfill her duty as a wife!

So now that Yang Jun has revealed other women, what can she do?
