Chapter 718 Little Dumpling's Embarrassing Story

The couple walked into the Yangxin Palace again, and Nangong Yue was still a little surprised.

Duke Xuanyuan, on the other hand, had a confident expression on his face. "Have you thought it all through? If the Du family can achieve great success in this incident, it will bring honor to our family. Not only will it benefit our family, but it will also benefit you, our in-laws. And if those heroes knew they would die defending their country, they wouldn't refuse. What do you think?"

The red charcoal in the hall made a slight crackling sound in the basin. Suddenly, a large piece of snow fell from the roof. The window paper covered everything, and only the white sky outside could be seen.

What the Duke said seemed to be a good thing that had the best of both worlds, but it also made people feel that something was wrong.

Mu Qing clasped his fists and said, "I came here not to agree to your request, but to propose another solution."

He slowly expressed his thoughts: "In addition to sending troops, I think what we should do is to find a way to disintegrate external forces, let them start fighting among themselves, and at the same time improve the court's image in the eyes of the people..."

During his recent discussion with Hu Xin'er, an idea had already formed in his mind: "The most important things are the propaganda war, sowing discord, and selecting people to form alliances."

"What is a war of public opinion?" The Duke looked uneasy when he heard the first sentence he said.

He now felt that no matter how intelligent Mu Qing was, she was still too young and too soft-hearted.

Therefore, if there was anything wrong in what Mu Qing said, he would definitely criticize Mu Qing severely.

However, Mu Qing was not at all panicked.

Public opinion warfare seems to be the simplest strategy proposed by Mu Qing.

He explained, "The prince's most common tactic is to first discredit his opponent, then take advantage of the situation to win over his people. If he were to forcibly conscript civilians, they would most likely refuse and report him. However..."

He paused and said, "If he portrays himself as a favored son of heaven who has been framed, with his eloquence, he will surely attract a large number of people to follow him. Then, facing these deceived people, our army will be in a dilemma, and neither will we be able to fight nor not fight."

The Duke listened nonchalantly at first, but then his expression gradually became serious.

If the prince was able to win the hearts of so many people in the court, then it would be no problem for him to win the hearts of the people with his amiable appearance.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are like water, which can carry a boat or capsize it.

Duke Xuanyuan originally wanted to let the Du family hold the prince back, while he would use his own superior martial arts to defeat all the rebels.

But if the prince seizes the initiative in public opinion, then no matter what he does, it will be useless.

Seeing that he seemed a little shaken, Hu Xin'er added, "During the battle, the Crown Prince might actually let the elderly, the weak, women, and children stand in front of the army to prevent our army from using real weapons. That would be a huge loss to our combat effectiveness!"

It's not that she thought the prince was so dark, but this kind of thing had happened once before in Qingzhou City.

When they wanted to go to Zhou's house to look for Miss Du that day, Miss Zhou had a group of elderly, weak, women and children blocking the door to avoid being tracked down by the Du family.

After a long moment of contemplation, the Duke finally nodded slowly, "You are right. We should indeed think about what we should do in this regard, and prevent the Crown Prince from harming ordinary people from now on."

Seeing his attitude change, the couple couldn't help but smile at each other, and they had a heated discussion on how to stir up trouble among the seven kings and how to make the seven kings target the prince.

When they returned to Yime Garden this time, the first thing the couple did was to find some water to drink.

I don't know when, the snow started falling outside again, and the plum blossoms bloomed in the snow, which was quite charming.

The couple had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery, but instead sat at the table and continued to discuss the situation in the court.

Suddenly, the cry of a baby broke the atmosphere of their discussion, and they came to the side hall at the same time.

I saw the little girl being held up to pee. When she saw her parents coming, she smiled and stretched out her hands to be held.

This silly look of him peeing while asking for a hug made Hu Xiner couldn't help but cover her face: "How could I give birth to such a stupid son?"

Even Mu Qing was amused by the funny scene: "Madam, you can draw this scene and show it to our son when he grows up."

"You wicked father!" Hu Xin'er glared at him and punched him. "How could a father betray his son like this?"

Mu Qing said innocently, "Don't you often record little Tuanzi's life as a souvenir? I think this scene is perfect."

He rolled up his sleeves excitedly and said, "Why don't I draw it myself?"

Hu Xin'er was furious: "Absolutely not! I won't allow Xiaotuanzi to leave such a dark history."

She chose to paint simply because she wanted to use this method instead of a camera to record the beautiful details of Xiaotuanzi's life.

It’s about recording the beauty of life, not recording the embarrassment of your son!

When little Tuanzi grew up and saw every bit of the good life, he felt that his parents loved him very much and was deeply moved.

"When he gets married, we can display these paintings with beautiful details at his wedding, and paint a picture for him and the bride with our own hands..." Hu Xiner showed a longing expression as she spoke.

Mu Qing thought of another scene, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips: "If I draw it for him myself, he will be very touched..."

Hu Xiner's face darkened: "I'm not touched at all!"

If Little Tuanzi saw all the dark histories of his childhood, and even had these dark histories displayed at his wedding, for all the aunts and uncles who came to see him, he would be able to see and read them...

Oh my god, I can feel my son's embarrassment even though we're apart. Will he hate me? Yes, yes, yes?

Little Dumpling didn't know what his parents were talking about. Since his parents didn't even look at him and were just arguing with each other, and his mother's figure was becoming more and more hideous, he couldn't help but open his mouth in grievance and burst into tears.

An optimistic, cute and strong baby can endure grievances and frights, but cannot tolerate neglect from his parents!

The couple's quarrel stopped immediately, and they both went forward to coax the baby.

Speaking of which, the food became better and better after the little dumpling came to the palace. Although the emperor did not have time to see his grandson, he equipped him with a very complete set of staff.

According to the queen, these personnel, including wet nurses, are all secret personnel dedicated to the emperor. They are not only absolutely trustworthy, but also inaccessible to ordinary people.

"My son is so cute!" Hu Xiner couldn't help but kiss the little boy's face.
