so terrifying, it only subconsciously felt the breath of danger and moved out from Fang Jinxiu's arms."Well then, I guess you're not so bad after all."The more Fang Jinxiu looked at the tabby cat, the...This is a big disadvantage for them.

On their wedding day, Fang Jinshu thought about how she had concealed her identity and even gender out of necessity, and felt that she had already deeply wronged the young lady.

So, he thought that on the wedding day, he would temporarily dress himself up a little to give Wang Xiaqin some face and, second, to show Wang's father his sincerity in getting married.

Unexpectedly, after that one time shaving his beard, Wang Xiaqin saw her whole face. Although she had changed her appearance, the technique was inferior to Mu Jin's. She had only used special materials on her chin and jawline to create something that resembled skin and pasted it on top.

This can not only change a woman's delicate facial features but also add some masculinity.

As for her five official appearances, she could only rely on makeup to cover up her fair complexion. She applied a layer of darker powder, making her skin appear slightly wheat-colored.

The eyebrows were drawn following the shape of her family's Ah Yu's, she found it very masculine.

As for the other parts, Fang Jinshi didn't move.

Before, her lower half face was covered by a mustache and she wasn't dressed in anything eye-catching, so no one paid attention to her appearance.

Now that she's all dressed up, having shaved her beard and changed into a new outfit, she appeared on her wedding day, which left many people jaw-dropped.

It's probably never occurred to him that a doctor in his thirties, after shaving off his beard, would look so handsome.

Yes, handsome.

Fang Jinxiu's beauty was exposed.

And Wang Xiaoqin doesn't allow him to grow a beard anymore, she wants to stick by his side all day and can't get rid of him.

Fang Jinshi deeply regretted her decision to start growing a beard. What was she thinking! It was a terrible idea!

Now, even these officials in the court sometimes look at her with strange eyes.

The Emperor was cured by her. Logically, there were so many imperial physicians in the palace who had all treated the Emperor for minor and major illnesses. Why wasn't one of them as favored by the Emperor

Therefore, the Thirteenth Prince gained power, and this son-in-law of the Wang family was even more favored by His Majesty!

A mere commoner, simply because he cured an illness, suddenly became a high-ranking official of the third rank!

Not only that, Your Majesty also specially granted Fangyu the privilege of not attending court for trivial matters, unless there was an imperial summons calling him.

He could enter the palace whenever he wanted.

This led many people to suspect that the handsome old doctor had made some secret deal with His Majesty, or perhaps he had already been favored by His Majesty!

While relationships between men are indeed against the natural order, such things do exist in Xixia, even to the extent of places like NAFENGUAN.

It's hard to say that His Majesty wasn't captivated by beauty, otherwise, how could he behave so strangely towards the two of them.

Therefore, many people looked down on He Sheng and Fang Yu from the bottom of their hearts, with disdain in their eyes.

It's just that even if they had a thousand scornful looks, it was all for show. Was Fang Jinshu the kind of person who cared about other people's opinions After following her for so long, Hel Sheng hadn't learned much else, but his face – that was definitely something he'd mastered.

As long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if you are looked up to or down upon. It's a winner-takes-all situation; the victor sets the rules. The loser, no matter how much resentment they hold, can only rage impotently and futilely.

So these two people didn't mind at all.

"Thirteen, what has Fang Yu been up to recently"

"Responding to the Emperor, Her Majesty smiled and said, 'Master Fang has been researching how to fish these days.'"

She just made a new fishing rod called a lure. I hear you can catch fish with it without using bait.

The Xixia King, after a trip to the underworld, now cherishes his life more than ever. He has let go of many things and understands that while grand ambitions are important, the prerequisite is living to see them realized.

Fang Yu's methods for cultivating one's character and body truly worked. Since he delegated state affairs to his thirteenth son and several others, he had been sleeping much better at night than before.

This person, once they eat well and sleep well, with a regular schedule, it's hard for their body to not be in good shape.

When the Xixia king heard the words "fishing", his eyes lit up.

"Oh There's such a magical fishing rod"

"Lord Wang, your son-in-law is truly a fine choice. Pass down the order and have Fang Yu come to court after the morning session. Bring his fishing rod with him, what was it called again"

Helsheng bowed his head and reminded, "Father, call Luya."

"Yes, Luya, tell him to bring more fishing rods into the palace. I want to experience this new pastime he invented myself."

Seeing this, Lord Wang was overjoyed and readily agreed on behalf of his grandson-in-law. He had heard the rumors circulating in court and the palace. Fang Yu returned home after entering the palace and immediately told them the entire process of treating His Majesty.

Although his son-in-law is handsome, looking back now he's thankful for his good eyesight and quick action back then, otherwise he would have missed out on this treasure of a son-in-law.

Who doesn't like someone who looks good The Wang family is no exception.

Rumors are all false. Fang Yu once said, Your Majesty only admires his medical skills and talent, and has only a heart of loving talent for him.

Furthermore, Lord Wang also had his daughter-in-law discreetly inquire about the marital life of the young couple from his granddaughter. When Wang Xiaqin heard this question, her face flushed crimson. It seemed that the young couple lived a harmonious life.

If Fang Yu truly had something with Your Majesty, as his bedside companion, wouldn't his own granddaughter be able to notice anything

For most of the morning court, the Western Xia king chatted idly with Helsheng. Only in the last half incense stick's time did he deal with matters of state, first and foremost being the incident where the eldest prince had withdrawn his troops without receiving an official order.

The eldest prince knelt in fear, using all his eloquence to explain the situation. No matter how reasonable and well-spoken he was, going over the emperor's decree and directly ordering the border troops to obey him, no matter what the emperor saw this as a challenge to imperial authority.

It's something even an emperor can't tolerate, even if you are his biological son.

The eldest prince wasn't oblivious to the rules, but since things had already come to this, he realized admitting guilt was a dead end. Refusing, and arguing his case logically, at most would only result in punishment, a different kind of consequence altogether.

And of course, Fang Jinshu and Hel Sheng's joint efforts are indispensable in this.

That day's news of the retreat came to him through a close confidante of the Crown Prince who remained in the palace. If he hadn't thought his position was precarious and was eager to make a good impression before the King of Xixia, how could he have fallen for such a simple trap

The emperor was planning to withdraw his troops, that much was true, but this did not mean the King of Xixia would give up attacking Daxia.

He only knew one thing: within the Great Xi Realm, an iron mine had appeared. Over the past six months, the Xi army had acquired a kind of finely crafted weapon that could pierce through the Xixia soldiers' armor, as easily as a knife cutting through watermelon.

This is a huge disadvantage for them.

After all, the King of Xixia was a ruler who dominated one side for many years. He wasn't Emperor for nothing all these years.

All the officials of the Western Xia Dynasty thought that the withdrawal of troops was the result of him and He Ran Sheng persuading King Xia. In fact, it was just King Xia riding a donkey downhill. He originally intended to temporarily halt military operations and cease hostilities. He wanted to send people to investigate the iron ore and weapons matter clearly, then wait for an opportunity to make a move.

Although Fang Jinshi knew his purpose, she had to pretend not to know. A ceasefire would only benefit Daxi and bring no harm.

Dai Xi's foundation has been weakened by years of continuous warfare and treacherous ministers. It urgently needs time to recuperate and recover. Once this behemoth has calmed down, Xixia might not gain much advantage over Dai Xi.usly lowered their heads."Alright, we're good.""You need to keep your word and not fire us."Although Fang Jinshu was smiling, her eyes were cold as ice.Of course.The whole village held its breath, wai...
