Tang Qiming was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and he said in a deep voice: "Little princess, don't mess around, this is not a palace, let you talk nonsense." ”

Seeing that he didn't take his words seriously, Zong Zhengjin was not annoyed, and said slowly: "This princess never says crazy words, do you want your son to stay in this cottage for the rest of his life?" Isn't that a waste of talent? ”

"I never said that he would stay here for the rest of his life, as long as the world is peaceful and the court is no longer mediocre, I will let him out immediately, but I will never be with you, a little princess." Tang Qiming looked at her contemptuously, a little girl with yellow hair, he actually let his baby son follow him, and there was no door.

"Senpai!" Zong Zhengjin's face sank, "Since you know that the court is mediocre and the world is uneven, why don't you want to help me Jinyang?" Is it because Jinyang is a daughter? She knows that this is a world where men are inferior to women, and women are always looked down upon, but this does not mean that women are inferior to men. Tang Qiming was speechless by her, indeed, he didn't look down on this little princess in his heart, if it was a prince standing here today, he might think about it.

"You also know that you are a princess, it is difficult to enter the previous dynasty and seek the world, how can I let my son follow you?" Tang Qiming was right, but Zong Zhengjin ignored it, she glanced at Yi Chu, Yi Chu seemed to know what she was going to say, and nodded silently.

After getting the affirmation, Zong Zhengjin opened his mouth and said, "Senior, how do you know that this princess can't enter the previous dynasty and can't make the world?" To tell you the truth, now my father only has two princes, the eldest prince was born to Concubine Xu, the probability that my father made him the crown prince is ten, and the probability of the second son Zong Zhengmin is ninety. Ah Min is my dearest brother, if he is the crown prince, the princess will be an auxiliary minister, when the time comes, do you say that the princess can enter the previous dynasty and seek the situation? When she said this, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and her whole body was full of confidence.

Tang Qiming looked at her blankly, he didn't understand why an eight-year-old girl had such a powerful aura and confident judgment.

"How do you know that the crown prince will not be the eldest son of the emperor?"

When Zong Zhengjin heard this, he raised his lips and smiled, and replied: "Isn't it clear in the hearts of the seniors? Even you know that the Xu family was strong in the previous dynasty, how could my father not know? Tang Qiming looked at the little princess in front of him, and the noble and arrogant temperament exuded from his whole body made him look at her differently, could this little princess really have anything extraordinary?

Thinking of this, Tang Qiming's tone gradually softened and asked, "Although what you said is good, how can you prove that you have the ability to let my son follow you?" ”

Zong Zhengjin knew that he had successfully shaken him, so he replied confidently: "Now I am named the princess of Jinyang, the fief of Yangzhou, a total of six counties and thirty-two counties, but Yangzhou is vast but not rich, today I make a covenant with you in the name of Princess Jinyang, within five years, I will make Yangzhou a rich land, so that the people of six counties and thirty-two counties can live and work in peace." For Zong Zhengjin's sudden serious oath, everyone present was stunned, only Yi Chu smiled and looked at Zong Zhengjin with extremely appreciative eyes, this woman can be taught!

"Princess Jinyang, you can't talk nonsense, it's a big difficulty to make Yangzhou a rich land within five years." Tang Qiming felt that she was talking big, and his face was full of disbelief.

But Zong Zhengjin said: "I am Princess Jinyang, do what I say, if I don't succeed in five years, you can take Tang Yi away at any time, I will never say a word." Seeing that she was so sure, Tang Qiming couldn't answer for a while.

At this time, Yi Chu slowly stood up, and a cold voice sounded in this hall: "Senior Tang, it's better to believe the princess once, this bet has no loss for you, and it can also let Ling Gongzi go out to see the world." Why not? His words were all on point, Tang Qiming thought for a moment, beckoned Tang Yi to come to him, and asked, "Are you willing to go to Yangzhou with them to experience the experience?" ”

"Dad, the child is willing to give it a try." Tang Yi looked eager to try, as early as when Zong Zhengjin and Tang Qiming were talking, he had been impressed by Zong Zhengjin's courage and wisdom, he felt that this princess would definitely be able to bring him the life he wanted, so he was willing to follow her.

Seeing his son's appearance, Tang Qiming didn't want to say anything more, he nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay, Princess Jinyang, the old man will make your five-year appointment, I hope you don't disappoint the old man." ”

Zong Zhengjin grinned, looked at Yi Chu, and then at Tang Qiming, and replied excitedly: "Don't worry, this princess will never let you down." In five years, she believed she could do it.

After saying goodbye to Tang Qiming, Yi Chu led Zong Zhengjin on the quiet path, and Zhao Qing was taken away by him, it seems that the two of them have something to talk about. The surroundings are quiet, and the moonlight is softly sprinkled on the path, blowing on the two of them, which has a unique flavor.

"You're doing a great job." The meaning of praise spit out from his cold mouth, like a flower blooming in Dongfang Hua's heart, which made her smile suddenly, and before she could say anything, Yi Chu continued: "However, why are you sure that the fifth prince is the crown prince? ”

I don't understand why he asked this, Zong Zhengjin only took it for granted and said: "My father only has two sons, not the fourth prince, so of course it's Ah Min." ”

Seemingly dissatisfied with her answer, Yi Chu frowned slightly and asked, "Why does it have to be a man?" Why can't Ah Jin bear it? Although it was a summer night, when Zong Zhengjin heard this, cold sweat was already breaking out on her back, her beautiful eyes were round, and her mind kept repeating what Yi Chu had just said, what could she bear?

"Sir, what do you mean by this, how can Ah Jin ······?" There was an inexplicable inferiority complex in her tone, she was a woman, and she had no possibility.

Yi Chu looked up at the moon, he knew what she was worried about, but what if this was God's choice?

"Do you know Xi and the empress?"

"You know, she is the third generation of the king of the Northern Cang Kingdom." When it came to Xihe and the empress, Zong Zhengjin admired it.

Hee and the empress are brave and resourceful, and her ability is not inferior to that of men. According to the history of Beicang, Xihe led his troops to battle at the age of fifteen, and after many battles, he conquered several small surrounding countries and tripled the territory of Beicang. In the court, she fought the ministers, at the age of seventeen she overthrew the first traitor in the court, and consolidated the national fortunes of Beicang, because she was kind and sincere, and she was highly praised among the people, so after the death of the old emperor, as a princess, she successfully defeated the prince born to the ten-year-old concubine, ascended the throne, and became the first empress in the history of Beicang. She has always been the pride of Beicang and a role model in the hearts of women. But Empress Xihe can become the empress, it is the right time and place, how can she be compared?

"If Xihe Empress can, why can't you?" Yunchen saw her lack of confidence, and said, "Didn't you say that you want to avenge your mother's concubine?" The best way to make the enemy miserable is to take away what they have always dreamed of, if you have the strength to enter the front court, are you afraid that you will not be able to take revenge? Ah Jin, you are so smart, are you willing to stay in Yangzhou for the rest of your life? Even if you want to, the Xu family will not let you get your wish, once the Xu family gets the position of prince, you, me, and the people you cherish will be removed by them, do you really want to see such a scene? ”

It was the first time for Yi Chu to talk to her so seriously, talking about such a serious problem, his eyes were locked on Zong Zhengjin's body, and he had to beat her hard to force her to grow up quickly.

Zong Zhengjin listened to his words, and the tragic death of the mother concubine and Zhao's mother flashed in front of her, followed by the cruel and vicious faces of the Empress Dowager Xu and the imperial concubine, she suddenly felt a pain in her brain, and couldn't help holding her head with her hands, and muttered: "No, no, I won't let them go, I won't ······" Tears were streaming down her face.

Yi Chu looked at the girl who was squatting on the ground crying, his eyes showed imperceptible pity, but he didn't come forward to comfort her, he wanted her to figure it out for herself, and then make a decision. Today he saw the hidden kingly aura in her, but she herself didn't realize it, but thought about it only for the auxiliary ministers, which he didn't want to see, so he hoped that these words could make her see herself clearly and stimulate her potential.

Suddenly, Zong Zhengjin raised her head and looked up at Yi Chu, there were still undried tears on her face, but those firm eyes were shining like jewels, and she slowly spoke: "Sir, help me." ”

Just four simple words. But Yi Chu clearly knew her choice, and didn't say much, just stepped forward to wipe away her tears for her and held her little hand, "It's late at night, rest early." Yi Chu said as he pulled her back slowly.

Zong Zhengjin looked up at him, with a faint smile in her clear eyes, she knew that it was the man in front of her who made her see herself clearly, and it was he who awakened the imperial desire that she was sleeping in her heart. Although she didn't know him, she knew that this man wouldn't hurt her. Zong Zhengjin clenched the big hand holding him and felt very warm. The night was quiet, and the moonlight stretched the shadows, one large and one small, so long that they almost melted together. The sound of footsteps drifting away and everything around them immersed themselves in the quiet of the night.

At dawn the next day, Zong Zhengjin and his party got up and hurried, and when they said goodbye to Tang Qiming, Zong Zhengjin was surprised to see that the father and son actually saluted her together, and their attitude was completely different from that of seeing her yesterday. Yi Chuchu was stunned and only smiled slightly. Tang Yi looked at the little princess in front of him who made him admire, and remembered the courtesy that his father told him last night, he suddenly felt that he was far away from this little princess, and it was unattainable, and he felt a little sad for a while. Tang Qiming thought that he was reluctant to leave him, so he patiently comforted him.

After breakfast, the group went to the direction of Yangcheng County.
