Chapter 1: Feng Bai Su
Autumn is the most beautiful season in the Feng Ling Kingdom, with red maple leaves falling everywhere!
Inside the palace, Qingfeng Hall
Feng Bai Su lazily reclined on the couch, engrossed in reading the book in her hand.
— The Domineering Female General Wife-Master Imprisons Her Little Rabbit Husband
Her crimson thin lips slightly parted, unable to resist clicking her tongue twice.
Indeed, these romance novels from the matriarchal country are still the most exciting to read!
“Your Highness! Your Highness!”
At this moment, a clear voice came through.
Cong Bai ran in from outside and said to Feng Bai Su lying on the couch: “Your Highness, the Fifth Princess has woken up! The Male Empress has already issued an order that the husband selection banquet will be held as scheduled the day after tomorrow!”
Half a month ago, the Male Empress issued a phoenix decree to hold a husband selection banquet for the princesses at the beginning of this month. This banquet was mainly to select a husband for the Second Princess who had not yet had an official husband. As for the other princesses who were not old enough, it was to familiarize them with the young gentlemen of Feng Ling City.
Unfortunately, two days ago, the Fifth Princess and the Fourth Princess had an argument over a male courtesan and accidentally fell from the second floor, directly hitting their heads and falling unconscious.
The Fifth Princess was born to the Male Empress. Seeing his daughter lying unconscious in bed, how could he have any mood to hold a banquet?
He originally wanted to cancel this husband selection banquet, but unexpectedly, the Fifth Princess, who had been in a coma for two whole days, suddenly woke up.
Except for some confusion in her memory, she seemed to be fine.
Cong Bai couldn’t help muttering softly: “This Fifth Princess really has great luck! Yesterday all the imperial physicians were shaking their heads, and today she suddenly got better!”
After hearing her words, Feng Bai Su didn’t say anything, still lazily lying on the couch reading the book in her hand.
How could this little girl Cong Bai know that it wasn’t that the Fifth Princess had great luck, but that a soul from another world had entered the Fifth Princess’s body.
The world Feng Bai Su is in now is actually a book called “The Female Emperor’s Chronicles”. It mainly tells the story of a modern martial arts coach who transmigrated into a matriarchal country called Feng Ling Kingdom, becoming a wanton, incompetent princess, and then relying on her modern knowledge, theories and martial skills, finally becoming a generation’s female emperor and marrying beautiful and gentle husbands.
The reason why Feng Bai Su knows all this is because she is not from this world either. This book was a matriarchal novel she read in her previous life.
She transmigrated here as a fetus, or perhaps she forgot to drink that bowl of Meng Po soup when reincarnating, so she has memories of two lives.
In her previous life, she was a poor university student. Although she was smart and often envied by people who called her a study god. As the name suggests, it refers to the type of person who can do well in studies and be very excellent without studying much!
But even so, she had to bow to life, busy with various competitions and club activities every day, just to earn scholarships and enhance personal skills to live better.
Living for eighteen years, she made herself like a machine, tense and busy every day.
In this life, she finally became a princess of a matriarchal country, with no worries about food or clothing, and people to serve her, which is a wonderful life she couldn’t even dream of!
The previous life was too hard, so in this life, Feng Bai Su is determined to be a salted fish.
After the female protagonist ascends to the throne, she will become a leisurely prince and live a good life with her beautiful and gentle husband.
Just thinking about it makes Feng Bai Su feel extremely happy!
Seeing Feng Bai Su still lying lazily on the soft couch, Cong Bai couldn’t help but ask again: “Your Highness, aren’t we going to visit the Fifth Princess?”
This time, Feng Bai Su finally put down the book in her hand.
Before putting it down, she even folded a small corner of the page she was reading, preparing to continue reading when she came back!
After so many years, she had finally finished the compulsory academic courses for every princess. In the future, she just wanted to while away her time and indulge until death!
After putting on her boots, Feng Bai Su slowly stood up. Her red robe was so gaudy it was almost vulgar, with the collar slightly askew, revealing the delicate and fair collarbone inside.
Her long black hair, like silk, was bound by a jade crown, somewhat loose and messy.
Her features were delicate and beautiful, with a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes, always half-squinted with a hint of smile, looking lazy and mischievous.
“Let’s go see our Fifth Princess. The others should be almost there by now, it’s just right to go now.”
After saying this, she strode out.
Behind her, Cong Bai hurriedly called out:
“Ah, Your Highness, your hair is messy! At least let this servant tidy it up for you?”
“Your Highness! Your Highness, wait for me!”
Cong Bai hurriedly chased after her, feeling a bit tired of her mistress’s casual manner.
No wonder the Emperor always can’t help but scold her every time she sees her, saying that she has no proper demeanor, unlike the other princesses who are proper and courteous.
Even the wanton and lustful Fifth Princess is not as unrestrained as her mistress.
Cong Bai couldn’t help but sigh in her heart: No wonder those people outside always spread rumors that her mistress is frivolous and unruly!
But what’s frustrating is that her mistress is already eighteen this year, and will be of age in two years, yet there’s still no one in her back courtyard.
Thinking of this, Cong Bai felt a bit aggrieved, not knowing how those people could fabricate these rumors out of thin air.
Even more ridiculous is that every year there are officials who make suggestions about this matter! Just thinking about it makes one angry.

The Fifth Princess’s residence is just behind the Phoenix Hall. As soon as one steps in, the air is filled with nobility.
The four seasons screen carved from sandalwood, the incense burner with intertwined silk peonies and emerald leaves, the red-lacquered curio shelf with carved infants, the blue and white porcelain plum vase…
Each item taken out is a priceless treasure.
Compared with Feng Bai Su’s Qingfeng Hall, it’s simply a slum!
However, Feng Bai Su was unmoved by such treasures, not even raising an eyelid, and directly walked around the screen into the inner room.
At this time, the First Princess and the Second Princess had already arrived.
The Third Princess had not yet arrived, while the Fourth Princess was punished with two months of confinement by the Emperor because of this incident.
The Sixth Princess had been sickly since childhood, and had caught a cold these few days, bedridden.
As for the Ninth Princess, because she was still young, the Male Empress was afraid she would be too noisy and disturb his daughter, so he directly forbade her to come.
The Emperor has a total of nine princesses and two princes. Except for the Eighth Princess who unfortunately died shortly after birth, there are eight princesses and two princes left.
Feng Bai Su was very satisfied with being the third one to arrive, neither too early nor too late, the timing was just right!
As soon as she walked in, the First Princess Feng Bai Ying couldn’t help but frown. Looking at her loose clothes and slightly messy hair, she was somewhat displeased.
She couldn’t help but scold: “Seventh! Look at your robe and hair, it’s simply a disgrace! As the Seventh Princess of Feng Ling Kingdom, you’re lazy and sloppy all day without any proper demeanor! The tasks assigned by the Emperor Mother, you either slack off or perfunctorily complete them! Where is the appearance of a princess!”
Feng Bai Ying got angrier as she spoke, and finally couldn’t help but flick her sleeves and turn her head away.
She has always been the most rigid and rule-abiding, completely the perfect executor under feudalism.
Usually, she can’t stand the wanton Fifth Princess and the lazy Seventh Princess.
Unfortunately, the Fifth Princess is born of the Male Empress, with a noble status, and the Male Empress is very favored by the Emperor.
Even if she sees the Fifth Princess, she can only keep her dissatisfaction in her heart.
But Feng Bai Su, this Seventh Princess, is different! Her father is just an unfavored noble husband, and she herself is not liked by the Emperor.
So every time she sees Feng Bai Su, she can’t help but scold her a few times.
Feng Bai Su had long been tired of hearing this set of words, in one ear and out the other, not taking her words to heart at all.
Her expression was full of indifference, her tone perfunctory: “Elder Sister is right.”
After saying this, without waiting for her to answer, she pulled a chair and sat down by herself. Her body leaned back lazily against the chair back.
Feng Bai Ying, who had just turned her head back, saw her in this state and instantly became angry again: “You…”
Before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by the Second Princess Feng Bai Zhi beside her.
“Alright, elder sister, you know that little Seven has always been like this. Even the Emperor Mother can’t change her, why do you bother to care so much? Getting too angry will only hurt your own body.”
These words not only flattered the First Princess but also didn’t forget to step on Feng Bai Su.
Feng Bai Zhi’s father was just the son of a small official from a small place, picked up by the Emperor during her private tour.
Because of her father’s background, Feng Bai Zhi has always been a bit inferior, but ironically, she’s also very ambitious, and usually likes to flatter those princesses with good backgrounds and who are favored.
Feng Bai Su couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her, and didn’t care what the two were saying. She lowered her eyes and played with the green fish jade pendant on her waist.
—
On the bed, Feng Bai Wei sat there with a somewhat pale face, quietly watching the three sisters below.
Since waking up in this body, her mind has been in a daze, with very vague memories of the original owner’s past.
Being new here, in order to avoid any mistakes, she had no choice but to remain unchanged in response to changes. She didn’t rush to interject.
From the look of these three people now, the First Princess Feng Bai Ying is a sour and rigid feudal teacher, the Second Princess Feng Bai Zhi is a person who flatters the powerful and steps on the weak, while this Seventh Princess is a frivolous and greasy idler.
A flash of disdain quickly passed through Feng Bai Wei’s deep black eyes, somewhat looking down on them.
Soon, the Third Princess Feng Bai Kuan also came over.
She and the Second Princess Feng Bai Zhi are twin sisters, but unfortunately, their personalities don’t match. Feng Bai Zhi has always looked down on this timid and introverted younger sister.
Although the two are full-blood sisters, they are not close.
After Feng Bai Kuan walked in, seeing the Second Princess sitting on the chair and laughing with the First Princess, she somewhat timidly raised her head wanting to say hello.
However, after seeing her, Feng Bai Zhi turned her head away coldly and continued chatting with the First Princess.
Seeing this, Feng Bai Kuan lowered her head dejectedly, unconsciously biting her lip.
It was Feng Bai Wei, who had been silent all along, who spoke up when she saw Feng Bai Kuan come in: “Third Sister is here too.”
Perhaps due to her recent recovery from illness, her voice still sounded a bit hoarse. At this moment, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, her crescent eyes instantly curved up. This diluted the sickly look on her face.
After Feng Bai Wei spoke, everyone’s gaze fell on her.
Seeing her calm and courteous manner, everyone felt a bit strange, always feeling that the Fifth Princess seemed a bit different after waking up this time.
Feng Bai Kuan didn’t expect Feng Bai Wei to speak to her, after all, Feng Bai Wei had always felt that she was born of the main wife and looked down on these sisters born of concubines.
This was the first time Feng Bai Wei had spoken to her so kindly.
Feng Bai Kuan raised her head with some pleasant surprise, her eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
Looking at her, she nodded, “Li-little Five, are you alright now?”
Feng Bai Wei looked at the girl in front of her who seemed concerned about her, and her goodwill towards her increased. She smiled and replied: “I’m fine now, thank you for your concern, Third Sister!”
Beside them, Feng Bai Zhi, seeing the two getting along well, glared fiercely at Feng Bai Kuan in secret.
This dead girl sure knows how to act, now she’s shamelessly trying to get close to Feng Bai Wei.
Behind them, Feng Bai Su was still sitting on the chair at the back, watching the few people talking with various thoughts. She felt a bit bored and yawned.
Her charming peach blossom eyes couldn’t help but start to wander.
