Chapter 1062: Chapter 241: Who is the Most Favored_3

The maid glared at Jun Suxue, "This is our Princess Xiyun!"

She was the princess who often sent food and snacks to General Pei. Jun Suxue sized her up, noting her striking beauty and the distinguished air of the Royal Family about her. She curved her lips in a smile and bowed, "This humble girl has seen the Princess!"

Princess Xiyun saw that Jun Suxue did not act subservient or humble, but rather like a General’s Wife, and directly asked her, "Are you Pei Hansan’s fiancée?"

"I am Jun Suxue!" Jun Suxue introduced herself, neither denying nor confirming.

Princess Xiyun took it as a confirmation. She had asked around; Pei Hansan had a legendary fiancée surnamed Jun, named something Jun. Now seeing her daring to come to Capital Jingcheng without understanding her place, she took an immediate dislike to her, "I heard you have already moved into Tiance Mansion?"

"Yes," Jun Suxue responded with a faint smile.

That smile seemed almost like a provocation, a display of pride. Princess Xiyun huffed coldly, "This Princess doesn’t recall Pei Hansan being betrothed and having a fiancée. His marriage affairs are not something just anyone can meddle with!" She should know her place, she is not fit to be the wife of a Tiance General!

Jun Suxue still smiled, politely excused herself, and continued delivering meals, her mood considerably lightened upon seeing a group of young girls in the distance looking at her. At least in their eyes, she was General Pei’s fiancée, residing in the Tiance General Mansion. That was enough for her.

Princess Xiyun’s face darkened with rage as she watched Jun Suxue deliver meals to the Manufacturing Bureau.

The attending maid hurriedly consoled her, "Princess, there’s no need to be angry with her. Considering she moved into Tiance Mansion ahead of time, she’s not from a respectable family. Besides, General Pei is way out of her league. At best, she is just a bed-warmer!"

Princess Xiyun snorted lightly upon hearing these words. With Jun Suxue’s looks and status, she was only fit for washing feet and warming beds! Looking at the food box carried by the maid, she said, "Send it in!"

The maid complied, proudly walked into the Manufacturing Bureau holding the food box, "General Pei! This is a special snack prepared by our Princess, it’s cooling and nutritious."

Pei Qin thanked her and quickly had two bowls of rice.

Jun Suxue waited for them to finish eating, then tidied up the dishes and took them away.

Pei Qin noticed she glanced at the snacks a few times, so he took two boxes for her, "The Princess’s snacks are exceptional, very delicious. Take them home and try!"

Jun Suxue cheerfully agreed, "Okay!" and took the snacks home.

Then the people in the Manufacturing Bureau found that Princess Xiyun and Lady Jun seemed to be competing, both sending meals and snacks to their general every day, which made them quite envious; the general could eat till he was beyond full every day. They were unsure whom the general favored more!

The more favored one soon entered Capital Jingcheng. Jiujiu and Xixi, the two little Radishes, descended from the carriage and immediately called out for their mother.

Xixi didn’t quite understand, but Jiujiu, wise beyond her years, knew better. Other children’s mothers stayed at home doing embroidery and managing the household, but their mother led troops, invented mortars and spears, was appointed as a Tiance General, and was even more formidable than her father! No, more formidable than one father, two godfathers put together!

Pei Qin hadn’t worn women’s clothes for a long time, and suddenly wearing a dress felt rather unnatural.

"Mother! Mother!" The two little Radishes crowded into their mother’s arms, wanting kisses.

Xixi vividly remembered being kissed daily by her mother. Being away from her mother, she hadn’t been kissed since.

Pei Qin tenderly kissed her two precious daughters several times on the face, "Did you miss Mother?"

"I missed you! I really missed Mother!" Jiujiu hugged her, nestled in her embrace and acted coquettishly.

"I missed you too! Mother!" Xixi, not to be outdone, exclaimed.

Pei Qin, smiling, kissed her two precious little ones again, "Are you hot? What would you like to eat? Mother will make it for you!"

"Candy!" Xixi said, her love for sweets evident.

Jiujiu, counting on her fingers, expressed her desire for hot baked buns, caramelized sweet potatoes, sweet potato balls, steamed vegetables, pancake fruit, and powder-filled buns—a whole list.

The spring sweet potatoes had just been harvested, and it was the best time to savor them.

Pei Qin donned an apron and rolled up her sleeves to start cooking.

Pei Yuan also put on an apron to help, "Let me do it, big sister!" The responsibilities outside were already exhausting enough, and her elder sister, a woman, had to shoulder so many burdens, supporting the very sky over the common people’s heads.

"Help me!" Pei Qin hadn’t cooked for the little Radishes in a long time; Mo Heng hadn’t wanted to trouble her for meals.

Xie Yi was dazed and confused. Initially, she thought Pei Qin had left Daxing with Jiujiu and Xixi along with Shen Songming and Ji Bingchu, but never expected her to be the legendary deity general Pei Hansan. Her great achievements surpassed even those of the Founding Marshal, including her mortar and hand grenade, fireworks, and long spear, all of which would be prominently recorded in history. A Tiance General, her title ranked even higher than Mo Heng’s.
