"Thanks for the reminder, but I don't think I went wrong." The moment Huai Jin opened her mouth, the clear and bright female voice revealed the identity of her daughter.

Instantly, the few ladies who had been winking at Huai Jin all blushed. After finding out Huai Jin was a woman, the few ladies who had seen her before finally recognized her identity.

"This humble daughter pays her respects to the princess."

Huai Jin responded indifferently, telling them to get up.

After everyone bowed, because the young ladies of the literati family had always disliked Huai Jin's usual style, they kept their distance. However, there were a few young ladies from the Martial General Family who did not care about these things. They still sat down and chatted with Huai Jin from time to time.

Huai Jin originally had the intention of interacting with them, so after a few rounds of talking, these Martial General Miss actually had a good impression of Princess Anping. Adding to that, Huai Jin came from Xuanping Marquis's family, which was originally a Martial General Family.

"Sister An Ping, please don't bother with them. If they don't want to play with you, we'll play with you!" A girl dressed in yellow excitedly ran up to Huai Jin and said.

When they had conversed earlier, Huai Jin had already figured out the identities of the crowd. The one who had just spoken was the youngest daughter of General Huai Hua, Su Ling.

Huai Jin smiled faintly and nodded to her.

Another woman's voice laughed in a low voice, "The princess' reputation is usually so poor, so it must be passed on by them. Each one of them is cultured, elegant, and has the airs of a scholar.

This is Wu Bo Hou's daughter, Luo Wenya.

As soon as Luo Wenya opened her mouth, the martial general ladies of the various families burst into laughter, causing the Wen family's young ladies to frown.

Lan Ling, who was standing at the side, also couldn't hold back her laughter. After being pinched by Huai Jin, she held it in.

"Haha, Wen Ya, why don't you take a look at your name, and you still have the nerve to talk about her."

Luo Wenya's face immediately turned red. This name could not be blamed on her, it was all because of her father. Seeing that the current emperor had started to suppress the military generals and raise the civil servants, he had given himself such a name.

"Why are all of you laughing?!" A hearty female voice sounded. The ladies around Huai Jin all stopped laughing and looked in that direction.

Following the crowd's gaze, Huai Jin also saw the red-robed lady from far away.

"Sister Aster! "You're finally here!" Su Ling was like a little bird as she rushed forward.

Huai Jin turned her head to look at Ran Mei beside her.

Ran Mei bent down and poured some tea for Huai Jin. She took the opportunity to whisper to Huai Jin, "This is the daughter of the Marquis of Ying Wu, her name is Sui Wan."

From the Ying Wu family? Huai Jin raised her eyebrows. Now that she was here, she thought of her mission this time and went up to greet him.

Sui Wan cupped her hands together and casually bowed. This gesture was neither servile nor overbearing.

"What were you laughing at just now?" Sui Wan asked again.

Luo Wenya's face turned red as she glared at the people around her, causing them to laugh softly.

"Sister Aster, we're laughing at you!" After saying that, Su Ling laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

The young miss of General Zhou's house, Zhou Jingyan, saw the situation and explained, "Just now, Wen Ya said that other people thought they were gentle."

With regards to Luo Wenya's name, it had become a joke that these ladies would never get tired of hearing. When Sui Wan heard this, she smiled and glanced at Luo Wenya teasingly. "Elegant, when are you going to tell your father about it? You should change his name."

Luo Wenya pursed her lips. "I want to as well, but my dad said that he's been rough all his life and only thinks that we can help him win some popularity and create the reputation of a Luo Family's daughter for those literati to see. He'll have to remind me of this from the start!"

These words caused the young ladies to burst into laughter again.

Huai Jin also laughed a few times. With the girls making a ruckus like this, she understood the current situation in Da Wan Kingdom.

Ancient emperors had always dominated the world with their martial arts and governance, and the current Da Wan Kingdom was no exception. After relying on these military generals to conquer this land, the emperor began to slowly weaken the military generals' power and appoint civil officials within the imperial court. The current Prime Minister's Mansion, the Empress's mother's Wen family, was the first among the scholars.

However, civil officials could only be used to govern a country. If there was a war, these generals were required to lead their troops onto the battlefield. If Bei Ling had gotten the military secret, the Emperor would have no choice but to use these military generals again. At that time, these military generals would regain their power.

This Treason case was really not as simple as Yuwen Fei said. Huai Jin looked at the martial general and women around her with a smile on her face, but her heart sank. What did Yuwen Fei want in this power struggle?

Huai Jin accompanied the group of martial arts ladies and chatted for a while, before an attendant arrived. The young ladies of each family tidied up their appearance, then went to the temporary banquet set up at the hunting grounds to pay their respects.

This was Huai Jin's first time seeing the emperor after she had transmigrated. The emperor was in his prime, full of spirit, and had a majestic appearance. One could even vaguely see the elegance of his youth.

The young masters rushed over from the other side, paid their respects, and sat down on the other side of the banquet.

After all, Grand Princess of Pingyang's deeds had already created a beautiful dream in the hearts of these young misses. Every year, there would be young misses who wanted to emulate Grand Princess of Pingyang and have His Majesty personally marry their loved ones. After all, they had never been able to decide on marriage, and this was their only chance.

However, not all of the ladies were as proficient in riding as Grand Princess of Pingyang, or even more proficient than the other men. Hence, Grand Princess of Pingyang was the only exception to the rule in the Autumn Hunt.

However, this year, there was another one.

Su Ling quietly crawled to the side of Huai Jin and whispered, "Sister Jin, I can call you sister Jin, right?"

When Huai Jin heard the words "Sister Jin", she was stunned for a moment. Very few people here would call her by her name and they would all call her by her title. Now that she was called by Su Ling, she had a good impression of her.

"Sister Jin, with Prince Jin helping you this year, the top spot will definitely be yours. In the past, Prince Jin wouldn't even be able to join if he was afraid to discourage everyone from joining Qiushou." Su Ling sneakily glanced at Prince Jin and lowered her voice even more. "Sister Jin, if you win first place, what request do you have from His Majesty?"

Although Su Ling tried to lower her voice as much as possible, it was still heard by the people around her. Hearing this, they all looked at Huai Jin curiously, wondering if Huai Jin would become the second Grand Princess of Pingyang.
