The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

The most beautiful?

What does it mean to be the most beautiful? Aren't I beautiful?

Whether it was Gu Qingyue, Ning Wanqin, Tang Baobao, or even the slightly older Shen Zhian, this thought involuntarily arose in everyone's mind!

She desperately wanted to pull out her small bronze mirror from her bosom, look at herself in the mirror, and see why she wasn't the most beautiful.

Gu Qingyue still retained some consciousness. After thinking for a moment, she forced a smile and said to Zhang Shi, "General Zhang Shi, what you said is not quite right."

"Among the four sisters present, isn't every one of us breathtakingly beautiful?"

"Where is the most beautiful place?"

"The way you're saying that makes it sound like the other four aren't pretty!"

It has to be said that Gu Qingyue's words of saving face immediately struck a chord with the other three sisters, instantly brightening their previously unpleasant expressions.

And they all turned their attention to Zhang Shi.

We need to see that Zhang Shi realized his slip of the tongue and offered a sincere apology!

Zhang Shi understood this situation. Under normal circumstances, he would have apologized for his slip of the tongue, but at this moment...

Zhang Shi realized that this was exactly what he wanted!

"It seems like a brilliant idea suddenly struck me without me even realizing it, and a brilliant line just popped into my head!"

"I might have truly evolved completely!"

Zhang Shixian was pleasantly surprised, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he looked extremely serious and said, "Among the five of you, one is Ruan Fei, and she's exceptionally beautiful!"

"As for the four of you..."

Gu Qingyue, Shen Zhian, Ning Wanqin, and Tang Baobao immediately focused their attention, waiting for Zhang Shi to continue.

Zhang Shi, "living up to expectations," slowly said, "The four of you are... alright, I guess!"

Boom!

It seemed as if a thunderbolt had struck from the heavens.

It struck the four women in the tent squarely on the head, and in an instant, their faces turned ashen!

Zhang Shi glanced at her, his heart already brimming with joy, but his face remained serious as he changed the subject, saying, "You've come from afar, and in order to cooperate with me, you've even chosen a commander-in-chief. Now... I think we can have a proper chat."

"How should we counter Ren Tianye next?"

"My idea is this: this place is treacherous and a vital passage to Zijin Pass. So, I will hold this position, while you set up camp nearby. We will support each other and respond to any changes with constancy."

"Let's join forces once Ren Tianye arrives."

"If Ren Tianye attacks me, then come to my rescue!"

"If Ren Tianye attacks you, I'll go to your rescue!"

"First, we'll wear down Ren Tianye's army's morale. Once that morale is low, we'll join forces and storm Ren Tianye's central camp, capturing him alive!"

……

Zhang Shi rambled on and on, all of which were reasons he had already prepared to gain the trust of these women, but...

Although Zhang Shi spoke a lot, not a single one of the four women in front of him listened to a word he said.

My mind was constantly buzzing.

The name "Ruan Fei" kept bombarding me.

"With Ruan Fei's looks, why is she the most beautiful? Look at that little slut, she's not even as good-looking as my personal guards, and she calls herself the most beautiful? She doesn't deserve it!"

"She's definitely not pretty, and being the most pretty is a lie, but she's undeniably seductive. The fact that she managed to get General Zhang Shi's approval shows that Ruan Fei must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes!"

"I, Gu Qingyue, pride myself on my beauty, believing myself to be unmatched in the world. Yet General Zhang Shi thinks Ruan Fei is prettier than me. What makes her so beautiful?"

"Is Ruan Fei's ugly face the most beautiful in men's eyes? But I have a great figure, why can't these men see that? Besides, I don't think Ruan Fei is pretty at all!"

……

The four women were filled with conflicting thoughts, their faces were ashen, and their emotions were boiling. When faced with Zhang Shidao's plan, they would only occasionally agree with a word or nod casually, but in reality, none of their words took them to heart.

Until Zhang Shi finished speaking.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today. You all seem a bit tired, and we've discussed enough. Let's leave it at that for now!"

"If there are any changes in the future, I'll come back to you and we can discuss it properly."

Actually, Zhang Shi was the one talking and making all the decisions at today's military meeting. Now that he stood up and said he wanted to dismiss the meeting, all the women seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

They all stood up.

"General Zhang Shi, we'll take our leave then!"

"General Zhang Shi, let's talk again next time!"

"General Zhang Shi, we'll head back now!"

"General Zhang Shi, farewell!"

……

On the way back, the four women didn't talk much, but they reached an unprecedented consensus.

"We must teach Ruan Fei a lesson!"

"That bitch Ruan Fei, she's not pretty at all, just a little slut. When we get back, I'll find a way to show her what I'm capable of!"

"Ruan Fei...we must boycott her!"

"Any alliance I form with Ruan Fei, whether it's a one-on-one relationship between Ruan Fei and me, a three-person alliance, or a four-person alliance... it all counts. Ruan Fei... absolutely cannot let outsiders think she's prettier than me!"

……

The four women, each with a strong purpose, disappeared into the vast night. Zhang Shi, who stood politely at the door watching them leave, had a smile on his lips and a lewd look in his eyes!

At this moment, Zhang Shi felt a strong sense that he had completely transformed. He had gone from a general who only knew how to shout about the Swift Wind Fighting Technique to someone who could now face the storms of Yun Jing!

As the women disappeared into the night, Zhang Shicai turned and returned to the military camp. The camp, which originally only had his personal guards, now had one more person.

It was Wu Xingzhou!

"General, your writing is truly excellent!"

Wu Xingzhou's face was full of admiration: "That line just now, 'Wasn't the prettiest one here?' is definitely the greatest quote of the past century!"

"I am well-versed in literature and have read all the classics of the sages, yet this sentence still enlightened me greatly, leaving me astonished!"

Wu Xingzhou frantically flattered him, as if his life depended on it.

Of course, it wasn't all flattery; at the very least, he was genuinely shocked by what Zhang Shi said.

Based on his understanding of these women, he could almost predict that a large-scale chaotic battle would break out in the entire female army camp after he said this!
