Coming out of Yongqiu Mansion, Xiahou Hui got into the car with Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan.

Qingtao rode a horse and followed the side of the car. Xiahou Yan had endless words with her, lying on the car window, chatting with Qingtao enthusiastically. However, they are talking about some topics of their daughters' families, and they don't see that they have anything to do with Cao Miao's topic.

Princess Deyang tugged at Xiahou Hui's sleeve and gave her a blank look. Xiahou Hui smiled weakly and gave up his intention to eavesdrop. Presumably, in this case, Qingtao is unlikely to reveal anything.

"Yan, do you want to ride a horse?" Princess Deyang hugged Xiahou Yan and smiled kindly.

"May I?"

"What's not to do." Princess Deyang smiled and nodded the tip of Xiahou Yan's nose. "You're wearing a bearded pants anyway."

Xiahou Yan shrunk his neck and smiled shyly. When she went out this time, she secretly wore a crotch pants under her skirt, just to try horseback riding, but she never dared to tell her mother.

Princess Deyang ordered someone to bring a horse and it was ridden by Xiahou Yan. With stirrups, riding a horse has become a lot easier. Xiahou Shang was originally a general in the army, but Xiahou Xuan is now out, and he does not forget to practice martial arts in addition to official duties. As far as the family style reaches, Xiahou Yan wants to ride a horse, which is not a big deal in the eyes of Princess Deyang.

Xiahou Yan got out of the car, got on the horse, and walked side by side with Qingtao, his face flushed with happiness. Xiahou Hui saw it in his eyes and was envious. When she was Xiahou Yan's age, she also wanted to practice riding and archery, so that she could be as versatile as her father in the future. It's a pity that it was too dangerous to ride a horse at that time, and only when her father Xiahou Shang came home, he could hold her on horseback and walk twice on horseback.

"Yuanrong?"

Xiahou Hui was startled, came back to his senses, looked at Princess Deyang, and was inexplicably a little flustered. "Mother, what's the matter?"

Princess Deyang couldn't see a trace of a smile on her face, and she was even a little stern. "Sima is bent on marrying Yunliang, whose idea is it?"

Xiahou Hui lowered his eyelids. "It was my idea at first, and now it's my uncle's idea."

"Why? Even if Taiwei wants to raise obscurity, there is no need to marry Yunliang. Look at you, what kind of scared him into. ”

Xiahou Hui couldn't help but glance at Princess Deyang, and stopped talking. She thought for a while before she said, "Mother, this family matter is not only beneficial to the Sima family, but also to the father and son of King Yongqiu. Don't forget, King Yongqiu is the one who fought with the first emperor for the heir. In the spring of this year, there were rumors that His Majesty had died, and the ministers would support the king of Yongqiu. Although His Majesty trusted him and did not investigate thoroughly, who can say for sure whether he had a problem in his heart? ”

Princess Deyang sighed softly. She grew up watching Cao Ei, how could she not know what kind of person Cao Ei was. Compared with Emperor Wen Cao Pi and Yongqiu King Cao Zhi, Cao Rong is undoubtedly the person who most resembles Emperor Wu, bold and suspicious. Such a serious rumor, to say that I don't believe it at all, it is indeed impossible.

The third duke sat down and said, Uncle has lost his military power since then, and he has no chance with the territory, if he has no idea at all, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Only by marrying King Yongqiu and cutting off his future can he avoid His Majesty's suspicions, and from now on he can be His Majesty's minister of Humerus and give advice to His Majesty. It's a triple win, so why not? ”

"It's just...... Your sister-in-law, can you be a good housekeeper with peace of mind? Yun Liang is a sick man, who lost his mother at a young age, and needs not only a wife, but also someone who can take care of him. ”

"Mother, do you also think that the Sima family, regardless of gender, age or age, are all scheming people?"

Princess Deyang sighed, not knowing what to say. She did think so, but she couldn't open her mouth. Anyway, Xiahou Hui has married Sima Shi and gave birth to a daughter for him, and it is useless to regret it.

It's just that when she thinks of Cao Miao, she is still very distressed. If Sima Guo is like her mother Zhang Chunhua, Cao Miao will be bitter.

He doesn't have Sima Yi's ability.

This family affair is beneficial to many people, but Cao Miao suffers.

But what can be done, the powerful are like this, marriage cannot be based on personal preference, but is subordinate to the interests of the family. Cao Miao is a clan, so he should make sacrifices for the stability of the Great Wei River.

Xiahou Hui looked at Xiahou Yan and Qingtao, who were talking happily outside, and suddenly said, "Mother, what do you think of me and Ayan...... Who's smarter? ”

Princess Deyang glared at Xiahou Hui and ignored her. Xiahou Hui said: "No matter what you think, I don't believe it anyway." Mother, this time, you can't be partial to Ah Yan. ”

Princess Deyang nodded. "Don't worry, I'll let people look at green peaches. Every word she and Ah Yan say, I will relay to you. She knows the stakes here, even if she feels sorry for Cao Miao, she can't watch this family affair turn a blind eye.

Xiahou Hui lay on Princess Deyang's shoulder and giggled. "Mother, I'm just not convinced. It's the first time I've grown up so big and someone has called me stupid. When the time comes, I will definitely show him what it means to be smart. ”

"That might be." Princess Deyang deliberately said: "No matter how smart you are, can you surpass Taichu?" In front of Yunliang, there were times when Taichu couldn't answer. ”

Xiahou Hui's self-confidence suddenly seemed to be hit hard by a hammer, shattered to the ground, and then secretly gritted his teeth.

——

Back at Taiwei's Mansion, Xiahou Hui told Zhang Chunhua what had happened.

Hearing that Cao Miao was going on a blind date, he made a bunch of requests, Zhang Chunhua was very uncomfortable, but he was helpless.

This is Sima Yi's decision, and she can only do it. In the current situation, she really couldn't do better.

Sima Guo was very sad and felt that he had become a commodity to be selected by Cao Miao, and he had no dignity at all. Originally, she was going to marry Xun Fei, but she never thought that she would jump out of a madman halfway. At first, it was a plan, but now it is about to come true, and it is imperative, which makes her desperate.

Of course, she could deliberately fail to answer Cao Miao's question and let Cao Miao give up on her own initiative. But she also knew that her parents would not approve of her doing so. Taking a step back, even if her parents agreed, in case the news of her being rejected by Cao Miao because she was too stupid spread, the possibility of Xun Fei marrying her was very small.

Xun Fei was born in a famous family, became famous as a young man, and thinks very highly of himself, there are too many ladies to choose from, how could he be willing to marry a stupid woman who even Cao Miao can't look down on.

Sima Guo hid in his room and wept, refusing to see anyone.

Zhang Chunhua also ignored her, just sent someone to watch her, don't let her do stupid things, and don't care about the rest. She believed that Sima Guo would recognize the situation and obediently obey after a few days of trouble.

Compared with Sima Guo, Xiahou Hui was more concerned about the upcoming examination. Princess Deyang did not break her promise, and sent someone to deliver a letter every day, detailing Qingtao's words and deeds. Qingtao and Xiahou Hui are inseparable, but except for playing, she never mentions any knowledge, but teaches Xiahou Hui some martial arts. In order to practice martial arts, Xiahou Hui followed in the footsteps of Xiahou Xuan, practicing running every morning and evening, and running for half an hour, just like a posture of asking a woman to inherit her father's business.

Xiahou Hui disagreed.
