2429 Chapter 2428-anticipation
Gu Xin came to the nursery and played with her younger brothers for a while before she met Cheng huaijin.
“Brother, you’re back so early?” Gu Xin hadn’t had a good chat with Cheng huaijin these few days.
“You didn’t go to the Ministry of Rites today?” Cheng huaijin was also stunned when he saw Gu Xin. After asking, he looked at the other places in the nursery.
Gu Xin blinked. What was he looking at? Did he see Xue ‘er come back with him?
“Uncle!” When Brother Yun saw Cheng huaijin, he pounced on him with his short legs.
“Brother little ye!” Gu Xiaoqi and the others also ran over in groups.
Cheng huaijin was like a king of children, holding two on each side in his arms. There were also a few other little guys by his legs.
He was very popular with the children.
They were all fighting for Cheng huaijin’s hug.
There was no other way. Cheng huaijin carried these few and then those few. Then, he brought them to the toy area to play for a while before these little guys finally let go.
Gu Xin finally found a chance to talk to Cheng huaijin.
“Brother, I didn’t have time to ask you how you’ve been doing since I came back! Have you written to father yet?” The brother and sister sat down in the pavilion outside the nurture-care. They chatted while having tea.
“I’ve sent a letter and also told father about the few small countries in the South that will be visiting this month. Father directly said to send a group of envoys and asked the other tribes in the West to send people over. He said that we can’t lose in terms of momentum.” Cheng huaijin smiled helplessly at the end of his sentence.
“Eh? What do you mean?” Gu Xin asked in confusion.
“What my father means is that there will definitely be a martial arts competition or something at this gathering. There are only princes, princesses, and servants in the West, so there must be a lack of people. When the time came for the martial arts competition, wouldn’t it be a loss of momentum if the cheers weren’t as loud as the other party’s? We can’t let the people from the South look down on us from the West.” Cheng huaijin explained.
“There’s still a martial arts competition?” Gu Xin did not understand this.
She did not stay in the capital for long. When she went to the West, she spent most of her time training the soldiers and killing. She had never encountered such a multinational gathering.
In the year when Gu shouxin was the top scholar, she had met the diplomatic mission from Xing Nan Kingdom. However, at that time, it was only Xing Nan Kingdom. The competition was always held in the main hall, and there seemed to be no aura or anything.
In her opinion, no matter how strong his aura was, it couldn’t be compared to great Zhou!
However, with so many countries gathered together, the martial arts competition would not be held in the main hall. There were princesses and princes from ten tribes in the West, and with the addition of other people, the three small countries in the South might not be able to compete in terms of momentum.
She suddenly found it fun and asked with great interest, ” “What else do you know besides martial arts? No wonder uncle Emperor wants to expand the capital. The current Embassy can even accommodate a group of diplomatic corps!”
“I don’t know the details,” Cheng huaijin shook his head. This would depend on the emperor’s wishes, and then the Ministry of Rites would make arrangements. Besides, I’ve never met anyone from the South, so I don’t know their rules. In any case, in the West, it’s almost always a martial arts competition, and martial arts are respected.”
Gu Xin said, ” I’ve been learning languages from the three messengers in the South these few days. I feel like they’re similar to our great Zhou. I think they’ll even compete in terms of writing! Wow, that would definitely be fun. I’m really looking forward to it!”
“Then have fun!” Cheng huaijin laughed.
Gu Xin nodded her head,”I like it when it comes to fighting or studying, hahahaha!”
