Chapter 15 Xingyi returned to the bridal chamber quite late. The master bedroom was meticulously decorated—dragon and phoenix lamps, eternal lights, and deep red curtains hanging on the vermillion walls, all exuding a quiet and profound joy. The newlywed sitting in the center of the room, on the marriage bed, was also very happy. Little Phoenix sat properly with hands folded neatly, maintaining this posture for a long time. Only when hearing the sound of the door opening did he stir slightly,…-

Chapter 19.1 The adjutant was caught off guard when he was grabbed over, initially confused, but then he had a sudden realization: their commander was truly someone who didn't understand romance. Never mind family letters—even the memorials sent to greet the Young Emperor, this lord was always stingy with words, forever maintaining that bland, water-like demeanor. The adjutant didn't say much more. With a grin, he pushed and shoved at the surrounding soldiers to make room, joining the others in…

Chapter 19.2 The next day Xingyi held court as normal, and Little Phoenix went along, crouching beside him. These past days Little Phoenix had often attended court with him, and the seated immortals all recognized him. Yet every time they saw Little Phoenix again, they couldn't help but comment, "The little bird the Emperor raises is really fat—every time we see him, he's just as round." "I heard he's been dieting recently, but he doesn't seem to have lost any weight at all, and might even be…

After writing the first letter home, the subsequent ones seemed less difficult. Xingyi was not good at expressing emotions, but he began to write letter after letter, reporting his safety, describing life in the military camp, and drawing the rare snowy owl they discovered near the camp to show Little Phoenix. However, after that first letter, he had no opportunity to send the rest. First, there were new developments in the war and he was always too busy to properly seal and send them. Second, the…

Chapter 21.1 Xingyi was gone for three months. When he left, it was deep autumn; when he returned, snow blanketed the entire city. Xingyi himself traveled faster than the scouts bearing news. Xie Yuan, the young city lord of Jiangling, and his military advisor didn't even know when he'd returned. Before dawn, he rode alone through the city gates, his horse's hooves clattering across the silent streets, over small bridges and flowing water, finally stopping before his own courtyard. The mansion gates…

Chapter 21.2 He was somewhat angry about Little Phoenix transforming into a human without any warning—and not wearing clothes to boot. An ancient war god, everything under his control, yet encountering this little fat bird led to repeated mishaps. Expressionless, he found a thick outer robe to cover him, thought about it, then pushed Little Phoenix further into the bed to keep him from rolling off. Then he looked at the bed a few times and walked out the door. As soon as he emerged, he startled…

Chapter 22 Later, they returned to the prince's mansion. After the battle where Xingyi went north to Zhao ended with the ringing of the retreat gong, the entire nation settled into peace—a scene of tranquility and prosperity. The young emperor, having completed the three proverbial fires of a new official, successfully overthrew the Empress Dowager who had ruled from behind the curtain, and from then on wielded sole power. At the same time, a purple star emerged among the newly selected imperial…

Chapter 23 After that conversation with Little Phoenix about "who pursued whom first," Xingyi took it to heart. From then on, he kept thinking—if he really had to take the initiative to pursue someone, how should he go about it? He was someone almost indifferent when it came to matters of romance. He visited Little Phoenix a few times in a businesslike manner. Hearing that he wanted to go out and play, he took him out. When Little Phoenix sprained his ankle, he had him rest properly in his own…

Chapter 24 Xingyi had asked for leave to take Little Phoenix elsewhere for a visit and some sightseeing, but in the end, they still couldn't make the trip. The Young Emperor had approved his leave, but halfway through their journey as Xingyi sat with Little Phoenix in the carriage, they were intercepted by an urgent scout who brought news of new military developments in the southern coastal region. He was to immediately deploy reinforcements and take command of military affairs. Little Phoenix sat…

Chapter 25 Kissing—they did this often in their previous life, and it seemed like the most ordinary thing. Because Little Phoenix was uninhibited, he was always the one who initiated kisses, asked for hugs, or sidled up to Xingyi, wanting to play with him. When Xingyi was busy and couldn't spare him any attention, he would turn back and give him a kiss, as a sort of reward. Sometimes Little Phoenix would run off to play elsewhere, go find books to read on his own, or paint and play the qin. When he…
