Chapter 13: Ruo Chan (Part 1)

When Wei Jue was recalled, the Heavenly Son personally went to the city gates to welcome him. Although it was majestic, it was just going through the motions. The real rewards came a few days later.

It was said that during court, a decree drafted by Wei Jue was stamped with the Emperor’s jade seal. On it was a densely packed list of Generals, starting from Wei Jue, who had made meritorious contributions. As Wei Jue could no longer be bestowed with any more rewards, one could not hand the Imperial Seat to him, thus there was only gold and silver as reward under his name. Wei Tan was bestowed as the Marquis of HuaiYang, Wei Zhao was bestowed as the Marquis of ShanYang. The rest of the densely packed names listed numerous unheard titles such as Marquis Ting, Marquis Xiang and General titles.

Chapter 12: Receiving Guests (Part 2)

Wei Furen should think that I was an obedient daughter-in-law since I was already waiting outside the doors like usual when she got up the next day.

Wei Jue had stayed over at the concubine’s, Madam Zhang’s, courtyard last night thus there was no need for any evasion.

Chapter 11: Medical Ointment (Part 2)

Wei Tan had eaten in the barracks and went directly to bathe upon his return to the courtyard.

I had bathed and one’s hair was still rather moist. As nothing was happening in the room, I instructed Ah Yuan to move the lamp to the front of the mirror and sat before it, untied my hair and started wiping it with a dry towel.

Chapter 11: Medical Ointment (Part 1)

After a night of muddled headiness, I was alone in the room when I woke up the next day.

I lay on the bed for a while, wearing a neat and tidy middle-wear, and finally recollected what had happened yesterday. Looking around, the quilt was covering my body and the other half beside me was flat and neat, without any trace of anyone having lain on it.

Chapter 10: Family Banquet (Part 2)

Wei Tan said, “ShangKe and ShangDong have been pacified and the Central Plains has been returned to the courts.” After finishing, he looked at me, “When I was returning, Duke Han was still the governor of LaiYang and Han Guang had married a new wife last month.”

I was astonished.

Chapter 10: Family Banquet (Part 1)

I could only walk up to Wei Tan and help him unbuckle the armour.

Previously when one was in the family in Chang An, I used to see Older Brothers unbuckling their amours. It was not difficult to undo it as one needed to first remove the belt then take off the shoulder armor and breastplate. It was only untying a few knots.

There’s something strange in this novel… Usually the husband’s surname will be used with the Furen title and the female’s maiden surname will be used with Madam.

Wei Jue’s wife
Wei Furen or Madam Guo

But in this novel, the author indicated the female’s maiden surname instead. So in the raws, it became Guo Furen (Wei Jue’s wife) and Fu Furen (Wei Tan’s wife aka FL). It is strange so I have changed all of it to the correct terms in the translation instead of what was usually indicated in the raws.

Chapter 9: Returning Back to the City

With Wei Jue’s return, the Heavenly Son personally left the city to receive him. Under the beautiful blue skies, I accompanied Guo Furen as I watched the tens of thousands of horses amidst the dust, returning from the wilderness.

“Arrived!” Wei Rong, who was behind, said suddenly.
