When Ru Yi heard Xu Yang say "the empress faction" instead of "the second prince faction", she raised her eyebrows and an unfathomable interest appeared in the corner of her eyes.
In the past, the Northwest of Yan Country had often been attacked by the barbarians. It was said that the barbarians had not collected enough food this year, and the autumn harvest of the Northwest Prefectures was nearing. The barbarians had even come this year to disrupt the looting of food …
Emperor Qinghe tilted his head to look at Ru Yi. "What do you think, Grand Princess?"
Ru Yi stood up and said, "Abominable, I think it is very difficult for the people to grow grain, if they are robbed, eat without food, do not cultivate with food, and toil for a year, there is no such logic in the world, the people are the fathers of the people, we cannot let the barbarians steal food, not even a grain of grain is good!"
Emperor Qing He was silent. Only the Marquis of Bravery stepped forward. "Your Majesty, this subject believes that His Highness's words are reasonable. The commoners here are all citizens of our Yan Kingdom. How could they be bullied by the barbarians?"
"Then what does Marquis Yong think we should do?"
"This official thinks that matters of the nation are like family matters. If I know that the grain in the field has been stolen, I will bring my family members to guard the grain and not let anyone else rob them. If the barbarians were to rob the grain, we will beat them one by one and beat a pair …"
Emperor Qing He laughed. "Alright, we'll do as the Marquis of Braveheart says. We'll send troops over to guard the grain."
Only then did the imperial court burst into a buzz of conversation. Leading soldiers to guard the grain was different from fighting. This loss was small, so it was relatively easy to earn merits. Thus, a dispute started over the choice of soldiers to lead the army.
In the evening, Ru Yi accompanied Emperor Qing He for dinner, but she still refused to leave.
Qing He rolled his eyes at her. "Hurry up and stop with your thoughts. This Emperor forbids you."
"Father, I am just following you to take a look. What can I do as a child? "Are you still afraid that your son will bring disaster to the country of Jiang?"
Emperor Qinghe couldn't hold back his laughter. Even the high-ranking official was secretly laughing with his head bowed.
If I had four or five children, no matter where you go, you would be in heaven. I would also help you build a ladder, and now I only have you as my seedling. Which girl in the capital isn't gentle and demure?
Ru Yi's expression didn't change as she served the tea. "I, your son, came to guard the food with the general, but I wasn't able to get along with Pi Shi. Furthermore, I have guards, so I don't usually use their martial arts.
If this goes on, I am truly afraid that one day I will be in danger. When I need them, my martial arts skills will be unfamiliar.
"No," Qing He rolled his eyes at her. "What if you are in danger?"
"That won't happen. The fortune-tellers all say that this son has a long lifespan. It's not a problem to me to live to ninety-nine. Besides, even if there's a chance, royal father is still young. "Ouch!" Before he could finish his words, Emperor Qinghe had casually tossed something over to his head and slammed it into his head!
In the past, he had been a gentle emperor, with a graceful bearing, but ever since he had adopted a woman, his temper had become vulgar.
"Father is too lively … he has made me lose my head." Ru Yi covered her forehead and complained.
After this, Ru Yi stayed by Emperor Qing He's side, causing him to laugh in annoyance. "This Emperor didn't realize that you were so elusive, so I hurried to leave. Where's the Imperial Tutor, have you finished your lesson?"
Ru Yi nodded her head like she was pounding garlic. "Imperial Father, how about you test me?"
Emperor Qing He was just about to make things difficult for her when he recalled that the same thing had happened the last time. In the end, his daughter had taken him on and he shut his mouth.
"As long as you can take ten moves from Jun Ruye, no, twenty moves, I'll agree."
Just with the princess' small physique and her kung fu skills, if he wanted to take ten moves, heh heh, then take twenty moves, he could call her father!
Ru Yi finally stopped walking around Emperor Qing He. Instead, Emperor Qing He felt a strange sense of loss. His child had grown up, and he wanted to fly away …
Ru Yi stroked her chin as she walked around Jun Ruye a few times. Finally, she asked in a spirited manner, "Commander Jun, if you don't go easy on him, how long will you take to train on your own?"
Jun Ruye remained calm after hearing these words, but the other people serving him in the palace, such as Li Rou, Li Jing, and Green Bamboo, all had their mouths wide open in shock.
"If you practice hard every day, you'll need ten years," Jun Ruye replied before Ru Yi could wait too long.
Ru Yi's smile twisted slightly as she muttered in a low voice, "Ten years, even the old king has turned to dust …"
Within the palace, due to the fact that he often lived in the same residence as Tutor Qian, these words were said more and more every day.
Tutor Wang often asked Tutor Qian, "Old Qian, do you feel that His Majesty has been unusual these past few days?"
The Imperial Tutor stood there with his arms crossed and his body as straight as a poplar tree, not moving at all when he heard this. "No, could it be that he feels that His Majesty is different too often?"
"Actually, speaking of it, it's not really a big deal. It's just that I feel that His Majesty has been extremely kind and complacent in recent days, as if he has done something extraordinary."
Emperor Qing He laughed and said, "She's actually a fool. I don't know how she cheated. Hmph, she still needs to train diligently. I would like to see how hard she trained without fail."
Senior Official Zheng had long known His Majesty's personality. He was extremely protective. Now that he was scolding, he was only talking. He didn't know how pleased he was with himself, so he said …
"His Highness is sincere and honest, but this is only in nature. If you call him a servant, and if you really can find a way to win against Commander Jun, then your Majesty would be more than happy."
Emperor Qinghe chuckled, then changed the subject.
"This Jiang Liu is quite good at scheming. I've always seen his character as good, but to think that he would actually be someone who loves to roam the underworld. Our Yan Kingdom really can't keep a talent like him. Forget it, let's just let him go back. As long as he doesn't fight for that son of mine, he won't have to worry about his life."
When King Jiang had brought him over to be his proton, it wasn't that he didn't have thoughts of protecting him. It was just that King Jiang had many children, and he himself also had thoughts of protecting his son, so his thoughts weren't that obvious.
Senior Officer Zheng smiled as he narrowed his eyes. "Isn't that so? It's a shame that His Highness has always treated us with courtesy …" However, it was precisely His Highness that was so noble and benevolent that he had nowhere to hide. However, His Highness was still too magnanimous. As a servant, he actually didn't get angry when he saw this. If I were to be caught in such a trap, even if I am unable to succeed, I would still be furious for three days. "
Emperor Qing He nodded as he thoughtfully looked at the paper on the imperial paper. "Even if we succeed, the result will be even worse than it is now. Even if the imperial daughter could tolerate him, I wouldn't be able to."
"The princess is a bit softhearted. Forget it, since I can still protect her for a few more years, I'll ask her to go out and gain some experience."
With that, he cast a sidelong glance at Official Zheng. "How much did the princess give you? Take it out as soon as possible …"
"Your Majesty, this servant is just a eunuch. To put it bluntly, even His Highness' Ah Fu can't compare to him. How could Your Highness ever look highly upon this servant?"
"Hmph, there's no way to hide it from me even if you want to. It's impossible to sew the windows. I saw the princess call you out earlier and said a lot of things. I even gave you a bundle …"
Senior Official, who had been drenched in cold sweat, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Your Majesty, that's not it. His Highness had made some socks for his Majesty, as well as a set of summer clothes …" As he said this, his face couldn't help but twist up.
"Since it's for me, why didn't you say so earlier? Hurry up and bring it over!" Emperor Qinghe's temper came and went as quickly as it came. He hurriedly urged Ning on.
"Your Highness, I can only help you to this point," he thought to himself as he quickly got up and went to get his things. It all depends on what the king wants!
Emperor Qinghu rose to his feet and walked to the window seat. The palace's layout was indeed much more casual than that of the palace. For example, the study had a bed that he could rest on when he was tired. Of course, this was also due to the filial piety of the imperial concubine.
Senior Officer Zheng quickly retrieved the items and unfurled them one by one. He then lowered his head and quietly took three steps back.
Three pairs of snow-white socks were neatly arranged on the bed, and the top and bottom were also dressed in snow-white summer clothes. Because the color of the cloth was too snow-white, the stitches on the cloth were especially — it was very painful, crooked, and looked like a centipede crawling over.
It was as if Emperor Qing He had just eaten a stone. He couldn't swallow it down, and couldn't spit it out. He pointed at the item on the bed. "Did she send this over?"
"Yes," Officer Zheng said in a soft and gentle voice, "This servant thought that this item wasn't worth much, but His Highness' filial piety was priceless, so he solemnly took it."
Emperor Qing He gnashed his teeth and took Xia Shan to measure his strength. In the end, he didn't have the courage to wear it, as the material for the clothes were very good, it was his reward for the satin. The cut was also not bad, and there were even a few green bamboo sticks embroidered on it.
"Oh, I think what you said is right. The most important thing is her filial piety. You should keep it well." "Alright, isn't she going out? I'll find a few more experts for her and teach her some things she should pay attention to outside … Don't come to thank me."
The two words' thank you 'sounded extremely sad.
Senior Official Zheng relayed Emperor Qing He's message. Ru Yi respectfully listened to him and expressed her gratitude in the direction of the royal father. Then, he stood up and said to the left and right with a serious expression, "All of you leave."
After everyone had left, Li Rou was the last to close the door. Then, everyone heard a surprised cry coming from inside the hall. They couldn't help but smile at each other.
After Ru Yi was overjoyed, she quickly regained her senses. She seized the time to look at some of the important memorabilia left behind by the previous generations of emperors.
Last time, even though she had asked Jun Ruye for a beating, she wasn't discouraged. Instead, she humbly searched through a pile of inner force cultivation methods and martial arts manuals, making people afraid that her cultivation would go berserk, but instead put them to the side and focused on practicing under the guidance of Jun Ruye.
At the end of the month, Emperor Qing He used the lack of experience among the noble sons in the capital as the reason. The descendants of officials above the fifth rank followed the army to protect the grain, but luckily, he didn't force them to go.
