Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 435 Feng Xuxu Unleashes Her Power (1)

The annual New Year’s Eve celebration was subdued this year, as the Emperor was still at war on the Western Frontier. Consequently, Feng Xuxu did not arrange for any grand festivities. At night, the Capital City’s sky twinkled with colorful fireworks, illuminating the entire horizon of the city.

Feng Xuxu sat in the seat of honor, watching the Ministers below clinking glasses and enjoying themselves, while their families took turns praising how successful their sons were and how virtuous their daughters were. Feng Xuxu had a faint smile on her lips as she turned her head to look at her two treasures playing on the Dragon Throne, and she laughed happily, perhaps this was what it felt like to hope for one’s son to become a dragon and one’s daughter a phoenix. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The banquet continued until the end of the 7-9 PM period when a commotion came from outside. Xuan Yue and Di An quickly stepped forward to protect the main mother and the young masters, their sharp eyes surveying the room.

Eunuch Wei, holding a whisk, stepped forward to the entrance of the hall where he saw a messenger soldier with a sealed message cylinder hanging from his body. His thoughts quickly turned, and he waved off the blocking eunuchs, stepping forward to help the messenger, and asked in a low voice, "You are...?"

The messenger, licking his cracked lips, replied in a hoarse voice tinged with gravel, "Deputy General Tian Yi sent me back to report to the Empress."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei hurriedly helped the messenger and walked towards the hall.

The messenger, seeing a beautiful woman in Phoenix Robes sitting in the chair of honor, may be naive and never have seen the Empress before, but the person above the Dragon Throne could only be the Emperor, and now there was another who could sit there, that would be the Empress. When the crowning of the Empress took place, the entire Xueyan Country knew that the Empress was raised to sit equally with the Emperor, and the imperial harem was even abolished for this reason.

"Chi Jun pays respect to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for thousands of years." Recognizing the beautiful lady on the Dragon Throne as the Empress the moment he saw her, Chi Jun let go of Eunuch Wei’s hand, his body straightened, and he knelt on the ground, his head knocking on the green stone bricks.

All the Ministers in the hall fell silent this time, watching the soldier kneeling on the ground, speechless and focused on him, some eagerly waiting to hear news about the Emperor on the Western Frontier.

Silence filled the hall, and the atmosphere momentarily became heavy, even the two children playing on the Dragon Throne quieted down, and they moved closer to Feng Xuxu, their peach-blossom eyes, just like their father’s, watching the person kneeling in the hall.

Feng Xuxu’s hands, hidden within the wide sleeves, lightly came together, a slight cold sweat on her palms, her expression calm and composed as she looked at the messenger’s frail body and commanded in an authoritative voice, "Rise, and be seated."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Chi Jun said struggling to his feet, dragging his weary body to sit to the side, removing the message cylinder from his body and handing it over to the eunuch beside him.

Feng Xuxu received the message cylinder from Eunuch Wei, opened it, and took out the secret letter inside. The first two characters that came into view were "Great Victory." After reading these two words, Feng Xuxu’s tightly pursed lips revealed a hint of a smile. She put down the cylinder and quickly unfolded the letter, which read: "My lady, we have achieved a great victory at the Frontier. Mingyi Country has started to withdraw troops, and Sunset Kingdom has consecutively captured two cities within just five days, with high morale amongst the troops. We are now advancing into the third city, and I am also leading the soldiers to attack Mingyi Country. I believe it won’t be long before I can return to see you and our treasures. Lastly, take good care of yourself and our children. Your husband thinks of you every day, An."

The hall was utterly silent, hundreds of pairs of eyes fixed on the Empress. When they saw a smile appear on the corner of the Empress’s mouth, the Ministers gradually relaxed.

Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Feng Xuxu could feel the restlessness of her two little buns. She reached out to stroke their heads, smiled at them with affection, calming her own emotions, before she put on an appropriate smile and turned to the Ministers and their families below, her soft voice carrying a hint of solemnity, "The Emperor has reported, the Western Frontier has achieved a great victory, Mingyi Country has started to retreat, and the Emperor is currently leading our troops to battle against Mingyi Country, moreover Sunset Kingdom has already captured two cities of Mingyi Country. It is believed that the Emperor will soon return in triumph."
