It wasn't until the courtyards held the lights one after another, that the king of Zhenbei rushed back to the palace of the king of Zhenbei from the military camp outside the city with a body of dust.

Before he could figure out which concubine's courtyard to go to for dinner today, Yu Zizhen took Cui Yu and came over.

The father and daughter walked opposite each other in the verandah, and before Yu Zizhen could clasp his fists and salute, King Zhenbei spoke one step ahead of her, "Zizhen? How are you? ”

Yu Zizhen simply vaguely brushed the matter of saluting, she smiled and nodded, "Doctor Feng said that I can go out and walk around occasionally." ”

King Zhenbei breathed a sigh of relief, but he still subconsciously told Yu Zizhen, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, if there is nothing important, it is best not to go out of the house casually these days." ”

After all, it is still winter in the north, and if Yu Zizhen gets cold when he goes out, it will not be good if his condition recurs.

Yu Zizhen nodded vigorously, "I just have something to tell you, so I made this trip." ”

When King Zhenbei heard this, he took her directly back to his study.

After the father and daughter sat down on both sides of the desk, Yu Zizhen didn't bend around, she said, "I have two things I want to tell you. First, since I want to show myself as a man in the future, it will be difficult for me to bring a maid by my side from time to time. Those people in my courtyard, I want them all to stay in the palace. ”

King Zhenbei hesitated a little, "Then won't there be no one to serve you in your daily life?" ”

Yu Zizhen smiled, "I can do the simple dressing and washing by myself, and the laundry and cleaning can be handed over to the rough envoy of the palace in the capital." ”

King Zhenbei agreed after a little thought, he usually dresses and washes by himself, he can, and the "prince" he chooses is naturally okay.

He said: "Then I'll pick a few small servants and long-term followers for you, and you usually let them live in the outer courtyard." ”

Yu Zizhen nodded obediently, "Okay." ”

King Zhenbei was very satisfied with her obedience and obedience, "Among the people who enter the capital, the fewer people know your secret, the better." Except for Mama Hong on your mother's side and Mr. Jiang on my side, everyone else will let them think that you are a real prince of the palace. ”

Oops, that's so much to her liking.

Yu Zizhen was secretly happy in her heart, with the words of the king of Zhenbei, the princess of Zhenbei didn't want to send a bunch of maids to spy on her.

She nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will be more careful and keep this secret well." ”

After a pause, she added, "In addition to the people who follow me, I want to ask you for some more things." ”

King Zhenbei didn't hesitate, "You say. ”

Yu Zizhen said in his heart, look at the people with a good attitude, and then look at the princess of Zhenbei, tsk.

"I want a soft sword, some emergency money, and then there's it, can you give me a copy of the Yu family's marksmanship, a copy of any family's swordsmanship, and let me learn it myself?"

The Yu family's marksmanship is famous, and it can exert great power on the battlefield, Yu Zizhen doesn't want to give up, but she can't carry a spear with her every day in the capital.

To better protect herself, she needs a weapon that she can carry with her and that isn't so glaring.

King Zhenbei thought for a moment, and then beckoned to his henchman who was standing on the side with a background board, "Xianwu, you go and get 10,000 taels of silver tickets." ”

Yu Zizhen blinked, and sure enough, King Zhenbei was a true hero who was a hundred times more generous than his mother-in-law.

She was thinking about it, when she heard the king of Zhenbei say again: "Martial arts can't be practiced by yourself according to books, if you want to learn the Yu family's marksmanship, I will send a martial arts master again and let him enter Beijing with you." As for the soft sword, do you want to carry it with you in case you need it? ”

Yu Zizhen nodded, "It's a bit dazzling to carry a gun with you in the capital." ”

King Zhenbei laughed, "Then you shouldn't think about the soft sword." ”

Yu Zizhen blinked, his face was just the right amount of bewilderment.

King Zhenbei patiently explained to her, "Since Empress Dowager Lu issued an edict in the name of the emperor and asked the princes of the border to send their heirs to Beijing to study with the prince, then after you enter Beijing, she will inevitably instruct the emperor to arrange for you to study in the palace." To enter the palace, you need to remove your armor and remove soldiers, whether it is a soft sword or a spear, you can't bring it into the palace after all. ”

Yu Zizhen frowned sadly, and her originally smooth and delicate little face wrinkled directly into bun folds, "Then what should I do?" I can't have no means of self-defense, can I? ”

"Let's learn kung fu." Zhenbei Wang Wen Sheng proposed, "I will let the martial arts master who went with me teach you fists, kicks and marksmanship at the same time." ”

Each generation of the head of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion will select reliable and talented children from among the sons and clansmen of the family, and let them practice martial arts and fight together with the future head of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion.

Some of these selected children were able to earn a future for themselves through repeated military exploits and become the hardcore confidants of the King of Zhenbei in the army, while others died early in an unknown battle, leaving only the relatives of the family to receive long-term protection and generous compensation from the Zhenbei Palace.

The rest, after being injured or reaching a certain age, will take a back seat and return to the palace to recuperate.

The two martial arts masters assigned to Yu Zizhen by King Zhenbei before and after were all his henchmen and subordinates who took a back seat after being injured.

They were responsible for cultivating an heir for the king of Zhenbei, as well as training a steady stream of reliable personal soldiers.

"Your Uncle Qin has a lot of things at hand, and there is no way to accompany you to Beijing, it just so happens that your Uncle Bai's condition is improving, and he has no family ties, so he is the best person to accompany you into Beijing."

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Uncle Qin and Uncle Bai are both the best martial arts masters in the palace, and whoever accompanies me will be a big bargain." ”

When King Zhenbei heard this, his evaluation of Yu Zizhen in his heart was suddenly two points higher, and he smiled: "I'm relieved that you can think so, originally I was worried that you would dislike your Uncle Bai for being withdrawn and old-fashioned and strict." ”

Yu Zizhen waved his hand vigorously, "Only Master Yan can produce a high apprentice, besides, Uncle Bai is just not good at words, but in fact, others are good." ”

This is not Yu Zizhen's nonsense.

The status of the little original lord in the palace is not high, the sense of existence is thin, and the servants who have a little head and face dare to snub her by virtue of her young age and ignorance, but Bai Tong, who is deeply trusted by the king of Zhenbei, has always been respectful to her.

can abide by the etiquette of the unfavored young lord who has no inheritance rights after the person, at least he can't do such a thing as praising the high and stepping on the low, even if he changes the environment.

For Yu Zizhen, who is just a small chess piece of King Zhenbei, this is already the best treatment she can have at present.

"If you're satisfied." Although it is useless even if she is not satisfied, but it is better to be happy that her arrangement can be recognized than not to be recognized.
