Chu Xiaoxiao was thrown into a book, reincarnating as a cannon fodder meant to be drowned shortly after birth. Outraged, she saved herself and vowed to change her family’s doomed fate.
...Everyone looked at each other, and none of them were of the right age. I was going to go back and tell my relatives and friends about this news, and anyone who had a suitable candidate at home could tell me.
Being able to go out with the prince is definitely a godsend.
It would be a good story to tell others later that they had gone out with the prince to govern three states and six prefectures. Even if they didn't really govern, as long as they had a reputation, it would be a good thing for themselves and their family.
[Why do we need to look for two places outside? Why not just find two people at random? But don't find the kind of delicate ones who cry at the slightest provocation, and don't find the kind of people who are picky and put on airs at every turn, because that will annoy you to death.]
emperor:"......"
I know, I will never look for that kind of person and won’t cause you any trouble.
Li Sizu: “…”
I don't like that either, I hate it.
Black charcoal head: "......"
Don't be afraid. If anyone dares to upset my master, I will beat his head into a pig's brain.
"Remember, this trip to the three states and six prefectures is not for sightseeing. You must think carefully when recommending people." The emperor warned the ministers according to the request of the little ancestor, "Don't look for those who can't endure hardships and punishments. Once found, throw them into the sky prison.
I need to find someone who is indomitable and can endure hardships. The Imperial Master is so young and can go with me. If someone older than her can't endure the hardship, I will punish not only the child, but also the adults who educate the child."
As soon as the emperor spoke, the ministers just lowered their heads and ate in silence, not daring to make a sound.
I had originally planned to tell my relatives and friends when I got back, but now I am silently rejecting it in my heart.
Who knows what kind of temperament other people’s children have?
She was indeed cute and well-behaved in front of them, but what was she like behind their backs? Who knew? It was better not to talk too much, lest one mistake offend relatives and friends, which would be a small matter, but it would be a disaster for her to be in the eyes of the emperor.
It’s better to do less thankless tasks, or better yet, not do them at all.
Just do your own thing quietly. What does it have to do with them whether other people’s children can get along well with the prince?
The matter was discussed and the meal was finished.
Everyone said goodbye and left the palace, and Naituanzi followed the old duke home.
Post station.
Nangong Jinyuan! Nangong Jinyun! Nangong Jinyu didn't sleep tonight. They were waiting for the midnight hour to come.
The three of them sat in the room making tea. The closer it got to midnight, the more nervous they became. Chatting became meaningless, so they simply kept silent.
Nangong Jinyuan was so nervous that he clenched his fists tightly and did not move.
As soon as midnight arrived, he felt it, pain in his back and head, but not as strong as before, but mild and within the tolerable range.
This should be the pain caused by the wound left when the bone-piercing soul nail was taken out.
Compared with the past, it is insignificant.
Nangong Jinyun looked at his brother and asked worriedly, "How is it? Does it still hurt?"
Nangong Jinyu didn't say anything, waiting eagerly for Nangong Jinyuan's answer.
Glancing at his two sisters who were worried about him, Nangong Jinyuan shook his head slightly: "It hurts a little, but it's not a big problem. Dongsheng State Master is really amazing.
Thank you, brother! If it weren't for your concern, I wouldn't have known that the national teacher could relieve the pain in my body."
Nangong Jinyun and Nangong Jinyu looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother! You and I are siblings. If we can help, my sister and I will do it without hesitation." Nangong Jinyun held Nangong Jinyu's hand, "We two sisters have no other wishes, we just hope to stay in Dongsheng forever and never return to Nanyun."
"Why?" Nangong Jinyuan's eyes swept over the two sisters, and there was reluctance in his eyes, "You are willing to stay in Dongsheng as hostages, but it is limited in time, and you can't stay here forever.
Tell me, brother, why don't you want to go back to Nanyun? Yun'er! Are you still thinking about Hu Kecheng?"
"No, we've already gone through that and can't go back to the way it was before." Nangong Jinyun smiled bitterly, "Brother! My sister and I were once the high priest's maids, and our bodies are already dirty.
If we go back, not only will we not be able to bring honor to our family, but we will also bring shame to our family. What are we going to do? To be ridiculed and mocked by everyone?
Although my brother is the king, you can't stop talking about this. We won't go back and will stay in Dongsheng as hostages. Even if the time limit is over, we will ask the national teacher to increase the time limit. "
Nangong Jinyu's eyes were red: "My mother is not a kind person. After returning, she will definitely push me out to pave the way for my brother. I don't want to be a pawn in her hands. I just want to stay with my sister and accompany each other."
“Brother! After returning to Nanyun, warn the courtiers and noble families not to take chances, not return the three states and six prefectures, not pay compensation, and ignore the contract.
You can’t offend the National Master casually. The noble families can’t even defeat the old snake spirit, so how can they be a match for the National Master? "
Nangong Jinyun gave earnest advice and took great pains to do so.
"Return the three states and six prefectures as soon as possible. Dongsheng will send someone to take over and send the compensation gold as soon as possible. Don't let people mistakenly think that my brother is doing nothing. If you anger the national teacher, the Nangong family may be destroyed from now on.
Did you see how the Emperor of Dongsheng respected the Imperial Master? Brother should also take this as a warning and respect all decisions made by the Imperial Master. If the Nangong family is destroyed, other families will come up and become vassal states of Dongsheng.
My sister believes that no matter whether it is the Northern Kingdom or the Western Zhao, they will both submit to Dongsheng in the future because Dongsheng has a national teacher.
An old snake demon can take control of four countries, let alone a serious immortal state master?"
Nangong Jinyuan's eyes suddenly turned red. His sister was younger than him, but he was more worried than him. When his father left, he was always thinking about his sister. The high priest was cold and ruthless and did not let his sister see his father.
He was also furious and cursed his father for being useless.
"They can't even bear the slightest bit of pain. The men of the Nangong family are all cowards and wastes. They are useless and deserve no pity to die."
His father died with his eyes open, and he wanted to kill someone just watching.
Unfortunately, he was no match for him and could only endure it. On the day of his ascension to the throne, the old snake spirit gave him a bone-piercing soul nail to torture his body and wear down his willpower.
If he were not the imperial teacher, perhaps he would have done the same as his father, waiting until his son grew up before ending his life.
The purgatory-like pain was really unbearable.
"Don't worry, sister! I will definitely follow through on this matter. If anyone really wants to object, I will not tolerate it.
Those aristocratic families have been eyeing the throne. The curse on them has been lifted. My brother will gather people and teach them a lesson.
Especially Hu Kecheng, he is a mean person who says one thing but means another. He was nice to you back then probably because you were the eldest princess.
Soon after you left, you immediately married into another noble family. You have always been servile to the high priest, and when you learned that he was dead, you promised to stir up trouble and avenge him.
My brother has been waiting for this day. If he dares to stand up, he will be severely suppressed. The Nangong family has been silent for too long, and many people have forgotten what we have done and sacrificed for the Nanyun Kingdom. My two sisters! I am sorry for you. "
