Chapter IX Decisions

The eldest princess moved her body in the arms of the Duke of Dingguo to make herself more comfortable, and then said: "Now that the saint already knows, there is no need to hide it anymore, I know that you also regret in your heart that Xi'er's divine power cannot appear in the world." Now there is no need to do this, it is better to send her to her cousin and ask him to teach Xi'er well. ”

The cousin in the mouth of the eldest princess is Han Lei, the cousin of Dingguo Gong, who was known as the two heroes in Beijing together with Dingguo Gong decades ago, and is also the son of Dingguo Gong's mother's eldest brother, that is, the Han family of the famous military family.

Dingguo Gong pondered for a moment and said: "Bole meets Maxima, and I want to come to my cousin and rejoice." But Yuan'er and his wife are Xi'er's parents, and their opinions must always be asked on this matter. It means that he agreed with his wife's decision.

"Okay, I'll ask Yuan'er and his wife what they mean tomorrow."

"What about the Holy Lord?"

"Don't worry, I won't have to say anything until Xi'er learns the real skills from my cousin."

"That's right, okay, I'll go find my cousin in a few days. It's late at night, go to sleep. ”

"Okay."

The night was dark, and only a bright moon was radiating its brilliance.

The next morning, when Zhao Xi woke up, the two little brothers had already gone to the school. When she went to look for Zhao's mother, she was a little surprised to see Zhao's father beside Zhao's mother.

Dayan Chaotang is a morning court every three days, every ten days of rest, yesterday just finished the rest of the day, it stands to reason that there is no need to go to the morning court today, Zhao Dad also needs to go to the household department to see what needs to be dealt with, it seems that he is either on leave or has gone out in the morning and came back.

Zhao Xi obediently greeted her parents, Zhao's mother reached out and picked her up and put her on the chair, a bowl of porridge and a few small dishes were already placed on the table, after Zhao Xi was full, Zhao's mother helped her rinse her mouth again, sorted out her clothes, Zhao's father hugged her, and went to the main hall with Zhao's mother.

This morning, when Zhao Dad hadn't gone out yet, the little guy next to Ding Guogong came over to inform Zhao Dad that Ding Guogong and his wife had something about Xiao Xi'er and wanted to discuss with them and his wife, so Zhao Dad went to the household department in the morning and found that there was nothing important and came back.

Xixu Hall is the closest courtyard to the main hall, and Zhao's father walked with Zhao Xi and Zhao's mother for about a quarter of an hour. Zhao's father and Zhao's mother greeted Dingguo Gong and the eldest princess, and Zhao Xi also smiled glutinously and said, "Grandfather An, grandmother An." ”

Ding Guogong laughed: "Okay, good, Xiao Xi'er is also very well-behaved today." ”

The eldest princess took Zhao Xi with a smile, hugged her on her knees, and asked her softly if she slept well yesterday and ate well in the morning, and Zhao Xi answered them one by one.

The Duke of Dingguo next to him chatted with his son about the recent movements of the imperial court, although the Duke of Dingguo has resigned from his official position and only has a prince and a prince on his body, but his vision and insight are incomparable to Zhao's father, so Zhao's father has something to discuss with him.

After a quarter of an hour, the eldest princess instructed Qian Mo and Dongmei to take Zhao Xi to play in the next room, and Zhao's mother saw that the eldest princess had sent away her personal slaves, so she should have something important to discuss, and also ordered her eldest maid Yuzhu and her nurse to go over and look at Zhao Xi together.

There were only four masters left in the hall, the door was opened, and Uncle Qing, the guard beside the Duke of Dingguo, was on guard outside the gate.

"Yuan'er, what do you think about Xiao Xi'er's future?" Ding Guogong was the first to speak.

Mother Zhao's heart tightened suddenly, and she looked at Father Zhao without blinking, for fear that he would say something bad.

Father Zhao straightened his spine and replied cautiously: "With the status of our family, there is no need for the children in the family to sacrifice anything, Xiao Xi'er is the daughter I have been looking forward to for many years, of course, I hope that she will grow up happily, marry a wishful husband in the future, give birth to a few grandchildren, and live happily for a lifetime." ”

Mother Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her husband's eyes full of warmth and satisfaction.

"Little fox, used to being cunning." Ding Guogong scolded with a smile, "Put away your temptation, my Zhao Qian's granddaughter doesn't need to sacrifice her happiness to make profits for the Zhao family, aren't the men of the Zhao family useful?" I want a girl to keep the glory and wealth of the Zhao family. ”

Father Zhao relaxed his body slightly.

"Although what your father said is good, however, we did have an arrangement for Xiao Xi'er when we called you husband and wife today." The eldest princess unscrupulously looked at her son and daughter-in-law who were nervous again, and felt funny, "Yesterday, the saint came to our house, and he already knew about Xi'er's divine power, and you must know it too." ”

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother nodded slightly, because the family Dingguo Gong and the eldest princess did not react much to this, so it should be no big deal.

The eldest princess continued: "Since Xiao Xi'er inherited the divine power from your grandfather, and the Holy Lord has learned about it, there is no objection, so it is a pity that Xi'er's talent is wasted. So I want to send Xi'er to your father's uncle's house, so that they can train Xiao Xi'er well, and when Xiao Xi'er grows up, she will rely on her own ability to take over as the next commander of the Feng Wei Army. ”

The next commander of the Feng Guard! Mother Zhao took a breath.

Father Zhao frowned instead, a little dissatisfied, "Mother, you said it very lightly." The current princesses in the palace still can't regard Xiao Xi'er as a thorn in the flesh? What will the Holy One think of our family? ”

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his mother's words about his daughter relying on her own ability to take charge of the Feng Wei Army, his child was naturally talented, and what he was worried about was never his daughter's ability, but the blame from the royal family.

Since Empress Taizu collapsed, she handed over the Feng Weijun to her favorite youngest daughter, the eldest princess, and the Feng Weijun has been in her hands all these years. But now there are several princesses in the royal family who are eyeing and salivating for the Feng Guard, they have always thought that the eldest princess will hand over the Feng Guard to one of them, if Xiao Xi'er becomes the next new leader of the Feng Guard, I am afraid they will hate Xiao Xi'er to death.

Besides, I don't know what Emperor Yanren thinks about the matter of Feng Weijun, even if the eldest princess is his own aunt, I am afraid that he will not be able to confront the emperor, and the fate of offending the emperor will not be much better.

"Feng Weijun is not their private army, they can play how they want? I look up to their faces too much. The eldest princess sneered, "Feng Weijun is the life's work of my mother and mother-in-law, and I will never let people ruin it." Even without Xiao Xi'er's divine power, I didn't plan to hand over the Feng Weijun to the royal princess.

The capable live in it, the Fengwei Army is an independent army, it needs a capable person to lead, let it regain its former glory, it is dusty in my hands, I am ashamed of the queen mother and mother-in-law. But now that it's okay, Xiao Xi'er's divine power has appeared, as long as she teaches her well and hands over the Feng Guards to her, I believe that the day when the Feng Guards will rebuild their glory is not far off.

As for the emperor, no emperor can stand an army at the hands of the princess, have you forgotten how the empress came to power? It's just that I grew up with him since I was a child, and he was influenced by my father, queen mother, and eldest brother, and he has a deep relationship with me, and he won't suspect me, but I can't help but be interested, and it's time to reassure him.

Queen Wang has only one son, and it can be seen that Feng Weijun is in charge of someone with a foreign surname, so is it possible to let Li Mi rob it? She would wake up in a dream, and Chen'er's child wouldn't want that to happen. ”

Li Mi, the third princess of the royal family, her biological mother is Concubine Peng De, and she also has a brother-in-law, the second son of the emperor, Li Yu, a strong contender for the throne.

The eldest princess meant that it was the matter of Feng Weijun, and she was sure to solve it.

"If Xiao Xi'er takes over Feng Weijun, it will have an impact on her marriage, which family can accept such a powerful daughter-in-law? Besides, it is unknown whether Xiao Xi'er wants to live such a life or not. "Dad Zhao knows his mother's ability very well, and if he can solve it, there will be no problem, and if this concern is solved, he has another concern.

The eldest princess put down the teacup with a "bang" when she heard this, and sneered: "Why do you think anyone can be worthy of Xiao Xi'er?" A capable man never minds if his wife is powerful or not, and I don't mind the ones I don't look down on. ”

Her queen mother and mother-in-law were all respected women in the world, and they were able to hold up the sky on their own, but her father and father-in-law not only did not worry about the fear of their authority being challenged, but were proud and distressed for their wives. I am proud of their achievements, and I feel sorry for their hard work.

Emperor Taizu only had one woman in his life, Empress Taizu, which was simply strange in the royal family. Her parents-in-law have loved her all her life, and she can't insert a third person at all. The eldest princess has been influenced by these four elders since she was a child, and she herself has a very close relationship with her husband Dingguogong, and it is really normal for her to have this idea.

Mother Zhao was listening, and she agreed with the eldest princess's words very much, of course she thought that her daughter was good anywhere, how could she be worthy of her little Xi'er? No matter how bad it is, she can still marry Xiao Xi'er back to her parents' family, with her parents and the Zhao family as the backing, I believe that Xiao Xi'er will not have a bad life, besides, she believes that her eldest brother's education will not be bad, and her nephews are all good children.

Father Zhao choked, and also felt that his mother's words were very reasonable, so he no longer refuted them.

"As for what you said, it depends on Xiao Xi'er's own wishes, right? As long as Xiao Xi'er is willing, you don't object? "My son loves her daughter, she will only feel happy, and she will not make things difficult.

Dad Zhao nodded yes.

"Okay, I know, if you two have anything, go and do it, Xiao Xi'er will stay and have lunch with the two of us." The eldest princess waved her hand and drove away her son and daughter-in-law with great disgust.

"You, don't save some face for Yuan'er." Ding Guogong did not speak until he saw his son and daughter-in-law salute and leave.

"Sure enough, it's a little fox raised by an old fox, and it's all the same." The eldest princess sneered, "I thought I couldn't see his little tricks, but it was just for me to ask for a guarantee for him, with me behind Xiao Xi'er, would I be afraid of the princess?" I don't think I know. ”

Ding Guogong laughed, "It's true, you are also dancing willingly, who is to blame?" ”

The eldest princess also laughed, and the two got up to play with Xiao Xi'er without much talking.

Father Zhao, who was walking back, grabbed his wife's hand and asked softly, "Su Niang, you won't blame me for agreeing to my mother without consulting you, right?" ”

Mother Zhao shook her head and scratched Daddy Zhao's palm, "No, my mother will never harm Xiao Xi'er." Besides, I understand your thoughts, Xiao Xi'er is like her grandfather, born with divine power, and it is a pity not to cultivate it. You also said that everything depends on Xiao Xi'er's wishes, if Xiao Xi'er really doesn't like it, her mother will not force it. ”

In fact, Zhao's mother also grew up listening to the stories of two legendary women since she was a child, and she also looked forward to these two people, and even married the Zhao family, and as a result, one became her grandmother, and the other was her grandmother, and the excitement in her heart was indescribable. Now the youngest daughter may be in charge of the Feng Guard Army created by these two people, and it would be a lie to say that she has no ideas.

The couple reached an agreement on the matter of their daughter, and there was no other word, one went to the council hall to deal with the feed, and the other went out to go back to the household.

After that, Zhao Xi found that every morning after breakfast, the money around her grandmother would come over to pick her up and take her to the main hall, and when she arrived at the main hall, she would sit in her grandmother's arms and listen to her tell stories.

Tell the story of the founding Emperor Taizu and Empress Taizu, tell the story of Zhao Junshen and Han Junshi, tell the story of the Fengwei Army, tell the victory battles of several armies, and so on. Hearing Zhao Xi's excitement, she would clap her hands and applaud, and the eldest princess spoke more energetically.

Zhao's mother asked her how she was doing after Zhao Xi came back from the main hall on the first day, and saw her daughter retelling the story she heard that day word by word, seeing that her eyes were shining, she took the initiative to tell the nurse to take Zhao Xi to the main hall the next day.

Seeing this, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother understood that their daughter liked it, and since this was the case, it was good to rejoice with her.
