      by Volare Chapter 4: General or Minister? Jiang Yinghua, who had been soundly thrashed by her mother three days prior, was curled up in her warm, cozy blankets, indulging in the fleeting pleasures of her dreams while nursing the mottled wounds on her back. Who would have thought that before dawn, her own mother would personally drag her to stand in the ranks at the Chongzheng Hall's morning court session? The overcast sky had cleared, and the morning sun was rising, casting a dazzling glow upon the white jade…

      by Volare Chapter 39: The Struggle Between Cat and Tiger The abandoned Xuanhua Palace was dimly lit by flickering candlelight. A slight, chilly breeze whistled through the dilapidated window frames, causing the shadows to dance. Your Majesty waved away her attendants, looking at Jiang Yinghua, who stood eight paces away, and asked with some helplessness, "What on earth are you thinking?" Jiang Yinghua clenched her cold fingers within the sleeves of her court attire, replying softly, "On the Mid-Autumn Night, what…

      by Volare Chapter 38: A Determined Mind Yan Wanzhi escorted Jiang Yinghua back to the Prince Zhao Manor but remained uneasy, so she stayed, waiting for Jiang Yinghua to sober up. Jiang Yinghua hadn't slept all night, and with the added effects of the alcohol, she slept exceptionally deeply. It wasn't until the sun was setting that she finally stirred, vaguely awake. She dismissed her attendants and wandered out alone, intending to find some wine in the kitchen. Near the stone table beneath the corridor, Yan…

      by Volare Chapter 37: When Joy Reaches Its Peak, Sorrow Arises Jiang Yinghua departed with the imperial guards, and the wonton stall regained its laughter and liveliness. Seeing her generosity, the stall owner grinned as if he had met the God of Wealth. For a moment, Yan Wanzhi wanted to follow along. But then she thought, she was her adjutant, and it would be against the rules to accompany her to the night market. If Your Majesty found out, it would only add fuel to the fire, so she couldn't reveal her…

      by Volare Chapter 36: Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival The fifteenth day of the eighth month arrived with a gentle breeze and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus. The morning autumn wind, though cool, was not yet biting. The sky was clear and bright, an azure expanse without a cloud in sight. Perhaps due to the fatigue from days of travel, or perhaps enchanted by the relics of the Prince Zhao Manor, Jiang Yinghua slept exceptionally soundly last night, a peace she hadn't known in her three years guarding the…

      by Volare Chapter 35: Re-entering Tai Zhang Palace When the carriage entered the city, it was the midday hour, with the golden sun hanging high in the sky. The swaying carriage suddenly stopped, and a guard outside bowed and said, "Your Highness, we have arrived outside the palace gates." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yinghua, supported by a maid, stepped out of the carriage and stood on the wide imperial road. Turning back, she could see the bustling streets of the capital, with the faint sounds of laughter and happy…

      by Volare Chapter 34: A Homesickness Close to Home Having received the message from the soldier, Jiang Yinghua reluctantly put down her wine cup. She adjusted her luxurious purple brocade robe and, with a retinue of close aides and officers, grandly walked towards the outside of the camp. As the group reached the camp gate, the Imperial Guard, who had been galloping at full speed, tightened their reins. Seeing the purple-clad figure leading the welcoming party, the leading officer swiftly dismounted and paid his…

      by Volare Chapter 33: A Celebration Throughout the Nation The northern border's sky was high and clear, with countless stars twinkling and the ground covered in soft, jade-like snow. Inside the Prince Zhao Manor, bright red lanterns hung high, and the young maids wore festive new clothes, gleefully clutching their bestowed red envelopes. Because Jiang Yinghua had "caught a cold and was bedridden," Your Majesty, upon hearing the news, could only helplessly wave her hand, calling off the decree to summon her back to…

      by Volare Chapter 32: Bedridden Since Yan Wanzhi was representing the court on this visit, Jiang Yinghua naturally gave her full respect. As a result, the Zhenwei Army camp that day was filled with joyous singing and dancing over food and wine. Jiang Yinghua was truly delighted that Yan Wanzhi had come. Having her here was better than anyone else from the court, who would have been heartless and emotionless. Regarding the events of two years ago, even if Jiang Yinghua vaguely suspected that her actions in the…

      by Volare Chapter 31: A Traveler Returns from the Road Da-da, da-da-da... Jiang Yinghua, her mind muddled, felt a subtle swaying in her body in her half-awake state. A rhythmic sound of horses' hooves echoed in her ears. In her hazy consciousness, she pried open her sleepy eyes, blinked, and through a layer of mist, she saw a luxuriously decorated carriage. She woke with a start, abruptly sitting up and startling the little maid beside her, "Your Highness, did you have a nightmare?" Jiang Yinghua frowned,…
