Chapter 1035 - 235: General Protectorate_4
The civil and military chancellors of the full court looked at her small frame and all felt that the title conferred was too grand; she wouldn’t be able to uphold it. It wasn’t a question of her merits, if merits were to be discussed, being ennobled or appointed general wouldn’t be excessive, but just looking at the real person, this Pei Hansan... General Pei... why did she evoke such a protective instinct in others rather than seeming like a protector of the nation?
Pei Qin had already cursed many times in her heart, from slowly to quickly, until Shi Rui nudged her, signaling her to join the lineup, as a chancellor was about to present a memorial.
Looking around, Pei Qin stood to the left, squeezing aside a Second Rank General as she took her place there.
Old General Dou’s face twitched beside her; had he not thought she was new to the court, he would have believed she was deliberately causing trouble. Seeing her looking lost about where to stand, Old General Dou shuffled to the side.
Emperor Chu Wen watched from above as she looked around before joining the lineup, immediately disrupting the formation, and he was speechless for a long time.
Now everyone knew that General Pei was not good at being an official.
But having just entered the court and already entangled in the struggle for the Crown Prince amidst the alteration of the throne, who knew whether General Pei would indeed die young.
Pei Qin was also thinking about her potential untimely death. That Mo Heng is still fighting at the border. The last letter said he had led his troops into the heart of the Rong Clan territory, intending to seize their stronghold before turning back to deal with Ji Le’s Massive Army in Liaodong; her current situation was unknown. Yet a great battle loomed in Capital Jingcheng! She couldn’t leave; her precious daughter’s whereabouts were still a mystery!
