Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Time flew by, years passed like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, Qianqian had already entered her thirteenth year of youth.

After Yan Shuang'er married, Shangguan Xingyu successfully gave birth to a cute boy, named Yan Jingxi, with the childhood name Xiao Jing'er. The arrival of this new life brought endless joy and happiness to the whole family.

At the same time, Yan Jie also entered an important stage in his life—he graduated from the Shangshufang. After graduating, Yan Jie gradually developed a strong interest in medicine.

Regarding the child's preference, the family had always given full support, so An Wang specially hired the head of the Taiyuan to teach Yan Jie.

The Emperor knew all about this. Not only that, having the head of the Taiyuan teach Yan Jie was actually the Emperor's own proposal.

Under the Emperor's care and support, Yan Jie studied especially hard these past few years. Although still young, he could already independently handle some common minor illnesses, such as headaches and fevers, and could completely grab medicine himself to solve them.

Since Yan Jie took a liking to medicine, whenever someone in the family fell ill, they no longer needed to go out to call a doctor. Relying on the medicine he had learned, Yan Jie could always quickly and accurately diagnose the condition and prescribe a suitable formula, allowing his family members to recover their health as soon as possible.

And Qianqian? She too, under the carving of time, became increasingly beautiful and charming.

Her appearance became increasingly similar to An Wang's, her whole person looking cold as frost and ice, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

However, this was only a surface phenomenon; as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, that coldness would be instantly broken, revealing the liveliness and agility in her heart.

These past years, under her careful management, the Dark Guard Camp was like a thriving big tree, cultivating more and more dark guards with superb skills and great strength. These dark guards were not only agile but also loyal and reliable, becoming her capable assistants.

At the same time, the Dark Guard Camp's ability to amass wealth was also eye-catching. Through various channels and means, the wealth they earned was already close to half of the national treasury! This undoubtedly showed her outstanding management talent and keen business insight.

And Yan Wang, during these past few years, had trained the Yan Family Army to be like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, with cold light radiating and invincible.

He not only focused on the soldiers' physical training, but also gave careful guidance on tactics and strategy, greatly enhancing the Yan Family Army's combat power.

Not only that, the Yan Family Army had also publicly recruited new soldiers five times, and each time the number of people signing up was too many to count.

However, Yan Wang had very strict standards for selecting new soldiers; only those who survived layer upon layer of screening, the final hundred left, could become members of the Yan Family Army. In this way, under his careful cultivation, the Yan Family Army's scale continued to grow, and its strength became increasingly powerful.

As for Yan Shuang'er, since marrying Qi Yu, her life had also undergone some changes.

Qi Yu originally had the ambition to enter the court as an official. To achieve this goal, he put in tremendous effort. Finally, relying on his genuine talent and learning, he successfully obtained his official title and smoothly entered the Ministry of Personnel, becoming a Kao Gong Si.

Although this job was not very prominent, it was stable and had a certain amount of room for development.

To support Qi Yu in obtaining his official title, everyone did not urge Yan Shuang'er to have children. Therefore, Yan Shuang'er had only just become pregnant until now, which could also be considered good news.

Three years passed in a flash, and during this period the Dachang Kingdom became increasingly stable and prosperous. While maintaining its position as the strongest nation, the country vigorously developed its army, actively recruited soldiers and bought horses, and expanded its armaments.

This series of measures not only enhanced the nation's military strength, but also laid a solid foundation for the country's long-term peace and stability.

At the early court session today, the atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall was heavy; the Emperor sat high on the Dragon Throne, looking down at the ministers below, but his heart felt as if pressed by a heavy stone, and he had a terrible headache.

Finally, the Emperor spoke, his voice echoing in the silent great hall: "Recently, I have received many memorials from ministers, all saying that our Dachang has developed rapidly in recent years, truly a blessing for the nation."

"However, regarding war, it is ultimately the common people who suffer. I think that the current situation is indeed the best. If others do not offend me, I will not offend them; Dachang has always remained number one, which is very good. Therefore, I have decided that if other countries do not invade our Dachang, we absolutely must not advocate expanding our territory. From now on, you Grand Councilors must absolutely not submit memorials to attack the Xishang Kingdom again."

After speaking, the Emperor paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the ministers, finally landing on Eunuch Sun standing to one side, and he gave a slight glance. Eunuch Sun understood immediately and at once shouted loudly: "Those with matters, present your memorials; those without, retire from court!"

This shout was like a command, and the originally somewhat noisy great hall instantly became quiet. However, several ministers still showed hesitation on their faces, as if they wanted to say something, but just as they hesitated, the Emperor had already risen, left the Dragon Throne, and took the lead in walking out of the hall.

Seeing this, the ministers had no choice but to bow one by one and watch the Emperor leave. Although they were still unwilling in their hearts, they could do nothing about it and had to let it go.

After the Emperor returned to the Yudi, he sat down with a sense of relief, picked up a cup of tea that had long been prepared, took a light sip, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then he turned to Eunuch Sun and said: "Do you think I am old? Why do all the ministers want to expand the territory, while I only want the common people to live and work in peace and contentment?",

Although Eunuch Sun felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, after all he had served the Emperor in the palace for many years, and was naturally a shrewd person.

He steadied himself slightly, then smiled and said: "The Emperor's decision is naturally the best; for Dachang Kingdom to have a wise ruler like you who thinks for the common people is truly the blessing of Dachang!"

Hearing Eunuch Sun's words, although the Emperor understood in his heart that this was nothing but flattery, he still couldn't help but feel somewhat pleased. After all, who doesn't like to hear good words? So the Emperor's mood relaxed a little, and he was no longer as troubled by this matter as before.

At the same time, at the Lianwu Chang of the An Wang Fu, Qianqian was practicing martial arts with full concentration. After several years of hard cultivation, Qianqian's martial arts had become increasingly profound and unfathomable, astonishing everyone.

Just then, Hua Hua ran over in a hurry, still shouting in her mouth: "Master, something is wrong! You go quickly and see Wangchen, Wangchen he..."
