Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect that her words at this time would make the emperor feel a little close to her in his heart. Especially when he has some wavering belief in himself, this sentence is like encouragement and affirmation, so that the crack can be filled again.

Moreover, everyone has vanity. Not only emperors, but even ordinary people like to hear others praise themselves. Whenever he is complimented, no matter who it is, the corners of his mouth will always rise imperceptibly, although he tries hard to hide it, but the change in his expression, the smile that is almost melting can't be concealed no matter what.

The emperor is old, and he is no longer the high-spirited self he was when he was young. But he clearly remembered how dazzling he was when he was most energetic. He thought that even if he was old and his body was decaying, the dignity and domineering of the emperor should not melt with age. He is still the man who stands at the top of Dacheng, and he vows to build Dacheng into an immortal and prosperous emperor through the ages!

"I have heard that you have been enlightened by the Buddha, and not only can you predict the calamities of the Great Inheritance, but you can also bring me some other benefits. This army is handed over to you, and I will no longer interfere, just see how many surprises you can bring to me in two years. You remember, not only do you need to improve the strength of your soldiers, but you must also not fall behind in military discipline. That old thing in the Dayu Dynasty always likes to show off his military appearance in front of me, and two years later, I want him to see that my Dacheng's army is not inferior to him in the slightest! The emperor's eyes were full of encouragement, as if he had seen Fang Xiaoyu's success.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have something to ask." Fang Xiaoyu sighed, if it was to train the army's military appearance, she was still a little sure. Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? In the past, the military parades that appeared on TV were all watched in vain? Promise to scare the wonderful emperor of the Dayu Dynasty to death, and let him cry and sing about conquest!

"You ask." The emperor had already guessed what Fang Xiaoyu was going to ask, so he felt a little funny.

The corners of Fang Xiaoyu's eyebrows twitched subconsciously, and asked: "What the emperor just said, is it 'heard' that courtiers can not only predict disasters, but also improve military discipline and military appearance and combat effectiveness, these words are also said by Master Xuyun and the emperor?" ”

"Yes, it is indeed what Master Xuyun said, otherwise I would not believe that you have so many abilities as a woman." The emperor easily sold the Void Cloud Master.

"The courtiers know. Thank you for your answer. Fang Xiaoyu didn't smile, and his expression was very distorted in the emperor's eyes.

"What do you want to do?" The emperor tried his best to hold back his laughter and mourned in his heart for Master Xuyun.

Don't look at Ye Shiqin as the emperor, but the emperor also understands the horror of women. The messy things in the harem every day also cost him a lot of attention, so he never looked down on women.

According to Xuyun, Fang Xiaoyu will become an immortal after he dies in the future, although he is not a person in Buddhism, but he has a lot of roots with Buddhism, and if Fang Xiaoyu will become an immortal in the future, his identity can be on an equal footing with the Buddha.

Ye Shiqin believes in Buddhism, not to mention the words of a great virtuous monk like Xuyun, coupled with the fact that Fang Xiaoyu did predict the heavy snow that has not been encountered in a hundred years before, so that he was prepared in advance and reduced a large number of casualties, and he was already a little convinced of Fang Xiaoyu's identity in his heart.

Since Fang Xiaoyu can have a relationship with Xuyun's peers, then it is not too much for Xuyun to 'betray' Fang Xiaoyu like this, and he will be cleaned up fiercely, right?

Oh, how do you feel a little anticipation? The emperor thought silently in his heart.

"A courtier is just a weak woman, what can she do in the face of a high-ranking monk like Master Xuyun? However, the courtiers are really grateful to Master Xuyun for valuing the courtiers so much, in order to thank her, the courtiers will definitely go to the Ascetic Mountain Kuzen Temple to visit Master Xuyun, study Buddhism with the master, talk about life, talk about ideals, and by the way, ask for a few jars of good wine from Master Xuyun to satisfy her father's cravings. Presumably, with the generosity of Master Xuyun, he will definitely not refuse. The courtiers are really very grateful to Master Xuyun for their love. Fang Xiaoyu had a gentle smile throughout. But this smile was too gentle, and in the eyes of the emperor, it seemed a little chilly.

"If you go and harm his good wine, I'm afraid Master Xuyun will cry. I want him to cry to me for a few jars of good wine, but this old drunkard has a lot of treasures hidden, and there are a few jars that he brewed with his own hands, and I am very greedy. I also know that he buried all the jars of self-brewed wine under the laurel tree behind his meditation room, some of which had been buried for more than ten years. The emperor looked at Fang Xiaoyu with bright eyes, as if to say, "Since you want to harm his good wine, it is better to dig up a few jars and send them to the palace for me to taste and taste, I will have a heavy reward."

Fang Xiaoyu was unusually smart every time he came to such a time, and immediately understood what he meant from the emperor's expectant little eyes, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, compared to training a brave division for the emperor, it is really much easier to get back a few jars of good wine from Master Xuyun, and the courtiers are very confident that they can handle this matter." The courtiers also thanked the emperor for providing clues to Master Xuyun's wine, otherwise the courtiers would probably miss this kind of wine, wouldn't it be a big regret in life? ”

Fang Xiaoyu said this, but he also sighed, it seems that the old monk Xuyun likes to drink but has not hidden the emperor's problem, and with the emperor's respect for the monk Xuyun, it is not possible that many of the fine wines collected by Xuyun are rewarded by the emperor. After all, the imperial wine and tribute wine in the palace are all rare and delicious, and she doesn't believe that the old monk Xuyun will not be moved.

"If you rob him of his wine, you will kill him. I was sure that he would fight to the death. The emperor smiled, he really thought Fang Xiaoyu was a very interesting person. If she didn't have bad intentions towards Da Cheng, he would be willing to protect such a person, not only because it would have immeasurable benefits to him for Da Cheng, but also because he would be happy to keep it, and besides, maybe he would want to drink the wine of Kuzen Temple in the future, and it would have to fall on this side of the smile. After all, it seems a little unreasonable for him to roll up his sleeves and steal the wine of a high-ranking monk. But Fang Xiaoyu is different, she is still a child, and she can still be forgiven for doing something wrong. The emperor so anesthetized himself.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Master Xuyun can't beat the courtiers." Fang Xiaoyu said it with a straight face, which made the emperor bend down with a smile. Well said, it seems that this smile is going to be robbed?

"Hahahaha, okay, then I'll be waiting for your wine." The emperor couldn't close his mouth with joy, if it weren't for the emperor's style, he would have wanted to follow Fang Xiaoyu to observe the scene, the scene would have been fun.

At this time, Master Xuyun was walking slowly on the way back to Kuzen Temple, passing by a winery, he glanced at it, and seemed to be a little greedy, but only a few people knew about his love of wine, and he didn't expect to be exposed like this, so he finally held back.

He was thinking about going back to the temple to have a drink, but suddenly he felt a chill in his back, and a feeling of being targeted by a hunter hit his whole body, which actually made his heart chill.

Master Void Cloud had an ominous premonition, but he didn't know where it came from. Shaking his shoulders, Master Xuyun decided to rush back to the temple immediately and drink two sips of wine to suppress the shock.

The emperor and Fang Xiaoyu had a secret conversation in the study for a long time, and just when Fang Xiaoyu felt that it was time to go back, Su Wanfu came in to report to the emperor, saying that the sixteenth prince asked to see him.

Fang Xiaoyu was about to retire, but was stopped by the emperor, saying that he wanted Fang Xiaoyu to meet the sixteenth prince. Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled again, and said in her heart, your son, you want me to see a yarn! What's more, he's still a little kid.

If he remembers correctly, Fang Xiaoyu remembered that the emperor at this time had seventeen sons, except for the seventeenth prince who had just been born and was still in infancy, he was the youngest of the sixteen princes.

The sixteenth prince is only three years old now, and like the crown prince, he was born to the queen, so he was very loved by the emperor all his life.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen is not bad, and the queen gave birth to two sons and two daughters for the emperor, namely the crown prince Ye Shuyun, the sixteenth prince Ye Shuqing, the fourth princess Ye Ethereal, and the eleventh princess Ye Xian'er.

It's a pity that when the sixteenth prince was not born, the queen was framed, and the child was almost not born, because of the damage to the phoenix body, the sixteenth prince had some defects after birth, and many people called him a fool.

In Fang Xiaoyu's opinion, the sixteenth prince is not really stupid, he understands many things, but his reaction always seems to be half a beat slower than others, and there is a gap between him and the real fool, but the flaws are indeed true.

She had seen the Sixteen Princes in her previous life, although she had only seen him a few times, but every time she saw him, the Sixteen Princes were stunned alone. Because no one liked to play with him, he sat in the corner by himself, his eyes were foggy, and he smirked from time to time, and his smile was very innocent, as if it was a rare bright color in this cold palace.

It's just that in this life, she has never seen the Sixteen Princes, and she doesn't understand what the emperor's reason is that she has to see the Sixteen Princes.

It didn't take long for the sixteen princes to shout, 'Father, father, do you see if this grasshopper looks good' and threw himself into the emperor's arms, and the emperor also had a kind smile on his face, hugging the soft body of the sixteenth prince, and his smile seemed to be about to melt, and it was a little dazzling.

Although Fang Xiaoyu was not born in the palace, he was used to seeing the intrigue and intrigue of the palace, even if it was not an era, but the conspiracy and destruction were the same. Even if the emperor is a Ming monarch, he is willing to be close to his children, but because he is the emperor and has an almost domineering majesty, his children are more afraid of him and respect him than they are close to him, so he likes the closeness of the sixteen princes.

The emperor is a contradiction. On the one hand, for the sake of majesty and intimidation, he needs to keep himself oppressed, whether it is facing courtiers or children, he needs to remember that he is an emperor before becoming a father.

The son is too close, he is afraid that he will not have majesty in front of the child, so that they breed other ideas, leading to some endings that he does not want to see, but he is a father himself, and he loves his child in his heart, and he hopes that the child can be as close to him as father and son as ordinary people. Such ambivalence is something that almost every emperor has to experience. However, few emperors seem to be able to find an effective way to truly balance majesty and intimacy, so it gives people the illusion that the emperor's family has no family affection since ancient times.

At this time, a son like the Sixteenth Prince will be especially loved by the emperor.

The first is that he is flawed. No dynasty would make a fool an emperor, it can be said that although the sixteen princes are the real concubines, but because of his birth defects, it is equivalent to the possibility of him competing for the throne, and therefore, no prince who has ambitions for the throne has never regarded the sixteen princes as a threat.

Not only the prince, but also the emperor. Because Sixteen was a child with a somewhat unbright head, he did not worry about what illusion his affection would give Sixteen. He hopes that the sixteenth prince will live a carefree life, he will fulfill the responsibilities of a father, love him, give him a throne in the future, and then let him live the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing.

Moreover, Sixteen is also the son of the queen and the younger brother of the crown prince, and compared to those half-brothers, the blood of the same father and mother will make them closer. What's more, the crown prince is a benevolent child, and he believes that even if the crown prince inherits the throne one day in the future, he will definitely treat sixteen kindly. Because Sixteen is no threat to him, and he is his own brother. He has faith in the children he has taught.

"Father, this is compiled by Mama for Shuqing, and Mama said that Father must also love it like Shuqing. It's a pity that Shuqing fell on the road and broke it a little, and it is not as beautiful as before. The sixteenth prince pouted, and any expression on his face was childlike innocence.

This kind of innocence is different from the disguised innocence of those children who have grown up in the backyard of the family who have to experience deception since childhood. It is truly a child's unique innocence that exudes angelic whiteness, and it actually makes Fang Xiaoyu a little trance.

In her impression, she has not seen a child who is as innocent as a blank sheet of paper for a long time.

"Shuqing is not afraid, my father asked me to weave another one for you, and make a better-looking one." The emperor incarnated as a true loving father at this time, looking for his love for all his children in Ye Shuqing's body.

"Really?" Ye Shuqing's small eyes suddenly lit up.

"Really. When did the father ever deceive someone? "The Emperor casually told one of the biggest lies in the world. Although this lie is well-intentioned.

"Yes, yes!" Ye Shuqing jumped up happily, with the most innocent and flawless smile on her face, the kind of expression that a child can get the most valuable treasure in the world when he gets the promise of his parents.

Fang smiled knowingly, walked over to Ye Shuqing and squatted down and said, "Can the sixteenth prince show this grasshopper to his courtiers?" ”

Ye Shuqing realized that there were other people here, so he looked at the grasshopper in his hand, looked at the emperor again, and said in a milky voice: "Father, this sister is so beautiful." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, it was really a little vain to be praised by others, and he couldn't help but smile on his face. And the emperor laughed and said, "Shuqing, quickly show this grasshopper to Sister Fang." The emperor did not refute the title of the sixteenth prince with a smile on the other side.

"Sister, do you like it? Is it okay for Shuqing to give it to you? The sixteenth prince smiled sweetly and handed the grasshopper to Fang Xiaoyu, and the soft and glutinous voice hit the softness in everyone's hearts.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Sixteenth Prince." As she spoke, she took the grasshopper from the hands of the sixteenth prince, and untied the sturdy grasshopper in three strokes and two strokes.

And Fang Xiaoyu's action made the sixteenth prince pout, his eyes were full of tears, and his whole expression was very aggrieved.

"Wow", Ye Shuqing cried loudly, and while crying, she looked at Fang Xiaoyu and shouted: "Sister doesn't like it, sister doesn't like Shuqing" and then cried again. (To be continued.) )
