In the blink of an eye, it is the New Year (1051 B.C.). It's been more than seven months since I lost both legs, but I'm still the same as when I had just amputated, my hip socket is sinking and not improving.

The women's college has long been closed. Yang Chan has also returned to Huashan. The entire compound was empty. Even my princess's mansion looks very deserted. It is in stark contrast to the lively scene in the palace annex next to it.

Early in the morning, Ji Feng and Yuluo came to ask me to go out to pay New Year's greetings. Although I was reluctant, considering that I lived next to the palace courtyard, it was always difficult to be alone. At least a visit to the royal couple and the crown prince's family is inevitable. So I put a deep robe under my robe and floated to their car.

I first went with Ji Feng and Yuluo to meet the Zhou King Ji Chang and Tai Ji and his wife. Ji Chang looked full of spring breeze, but for some reason, I always felt that he had aged a lot in the year since he moved from Xiqi to Fengyi, and he was far less energetic than when he was first released from Jinli.

Could it be that this pampered life is not as healthy as that of an ascetic?

Then we went to Ji Fa's annex. Yi Jiang is suspected of being pregnant again. The little prince ran all over the ground. Two or three palace people hurriedly followed him.

Seeing me, the bear child curiously lifted my robe to see if there were legs inside.

"Chancellor!" Yi Jiang scolded on the side. But Ji Yu didn't hear it at all. When he found it empty, he simply used my tunic as a tent and got in.

I hurriedly floated upwards and asked the palace people to get the little prince out first. You know, this boy will be king in eight years. It's not a good thing for this kind of thing to get out.

I simply lowered to the bottom of my crotch and came face to face with Hime, my eyes almost level with him. "Little prince, you see that my aunt is actually as tall as you."

Ji Yu looked at me, "Aunt can get taller, and Yu'er must also get taller." ”

"That's easy." I picked up Ji Yu and floated to normal height. "You see, it's not high now."

Ji Yu looked at Yi Jiang next to him, "When the mother concubine hugged me, she could be so high!" Can my aunt be higher? ”

"Yes!" I continued to rise to a height of more than a foot, less than two feet from the ceiling. Yi Jiang was below, and although he knew that it would be fine, his expression was still very nervous. "Yu'er, don't toss your aunt, come down!"

Ji Yu ignored her, "Auntie, can you be taller?" ”

I replied, "Little Prince, you can't be in the high." No matter how high it is, it will break through the ceiling. ”

"Then let's get out." Ji Yu said.

"That's not going to work." I replied, I know that the demands of children cannot be met indefinitely. "The little prince is still too young. Outside, you'll be blown away by the wind. When the little prince is older, my aunt will take the little prince outside to fly, okay? ”

Coming out of Yi Jiang, we went to Ji Fa's other concubines again, and took a look at the little princess and the little prince Ji who had just climbed.

Just after the New Year, Bukit came to Lingtai Palace and invited me to the original women's branch, now the military camp.

I can't help frowning, how come there is something wrong with the New Year? The year before last, he went to Bishui to rescue Huang Feihu, and last year he was Fa Chong. This year, I didn't even have a leg, and he didn't let me go.

Entering the barracks, except that the architectural pattern has not changed much from the original, there is no longer the slightest atmosphere of the women's branch.

Above the lobby, a group of people sat around a patchwork of parchment maps, studying something.

As soon as I looked, Ji Fa, Ji Xian, Ji Dan, Ji Zheng, Jiang Shang, Nangong Shi, Lu Ding, and San Yisheng were all present. Except for King Ji Chang, the heavyweights of the Zhou State are basically complete.

"Little sister, come and sit!" Ji Fa said.

I went over and laid out the mat and sat down and watched the crowd. "Brother Wang, who are you going to fight?"

After listening to my words, several people in the audience smiled to varying degrees.

San Yisheng said: "In the opinion of the princess, who should we fight? ”

I smiled, "Nezha is a woman, how can you have any opinions." Naturally, the father and the king said that they would beat whoever they wanted! ”

Everyone laughed at my words and continued their discussion.

"Brother Wang, forgive my brother for speaking bluntly," Ji Xian said, "Labor is far away. I'm afraid it's not good for the teacher. ”

Ji Fa pondered for a moment, "Yu Xiaozifa also knows that Li Guo is thousands of miles away from me, and Chaoge is close at hand." However, the revenge of the third world cannot be avenged. ”

"When the first prince Ji Bei went on an expedition to the mountains, Li Gong's father not only did not help, but hindered him, resulting in the failure of the prince. Taigong established immortal merit for the king of Shang, but he was unreasonably suspicious and died in Yinyi. What role Li Hou played, you can imagine. ”

"Ten years ago, my father and Wen Zhong joined forces to fight against the ghost party, but they were framed by the old thieves Wen Zhong and Li Gong, and they were imprisoned for seven years. This hatred of his father has endured for a long time. Now my father is old, and we are courtiers, so we should do it, so as to comfort the heart of my father and the spirit of the king. ”

The crowd was silent. After a while, Jiang Shang said: "Sending troops to the Li State is not without hope of success. He looked around, "But you need to be well prepared, wait for the right moment, and you need to cooperate skillfully." ”

Nangong Shi said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true. If Providence's will is feasible, we will voluntarily go to the battlefield and pacify Beili. ”

When Ji Dan heard this, he said: "Brother Wang, my brother thinks that he should follow what the prime minister and General Nangong said, that is, divination, and do it according to the will of heaven." ”

Ji Xian, Ji Xian, Lu Ding, and San Yisheng then seconded the proposal, all expressing their approval of Ji Dan's proposal.

What does it mean? I was a little confused. To fight or not to fight?

At this time, Ji Fa asked, "Little sister?" ”

"Huh?" I saw that all eyes were turned to me. "This, you are determined! What do you want me to do? ”

Jiang Shang said: "The princess has been recuperating from her injuries for half a year, I don't know how her body is recovering?" ”

I smiled, "I'm the way I am!" According to Uncle Cihang, my leg can still regrow when it is cut off for two years. As for whether it will actually grow by then, I can't guarantee it. But if you go to fight with people now, you will definitely suffer a little if you don't have legs. ”

Jiang Shang let out a sigh of relief and said, "The princess is sick, and it is indeed a little difficult to kill the enemy in battle. Then please ask the princess to recuperate in peace. If you start a war within the year, you will have your brothers and sisters to take responsibility. ”

I looked at the crowd, "Nezha eats the king's Lu, and he should relieve the worries of his father and brother." If there is a war, how can you recuperate with peace of mind? Hope that Brother Wang will report to his father Wang Enzhun, and Nezha will return to the mountain to practice on the same day. When the army goes out, heed the call at any time. ”

After returning to Lingtai from the barracks, I went to Ji Chang to take leave. And I reported to him exactly what I had heard at the military meeting in Jifa.

I can see that those few people are studying a qi there, I'm afraid it's really just like Ji Fa said, to comfort the old father's heart, and no one really wants to attack the Li country that is far away next to Chaoge. And to do divination, to ask what providence, to whom?
