In the room.
"Xiao Yu, don't you know how to use rouge and powder to change your face? If you want to go back to your parents' home, we can dress up and quietly return to Beijing to visit my father-in-law and his family."
Su Xingyi saw Xiao Lingyu returning to his room and staring at the imperial edict in a daze, obviously not very happy.
Xiao Lingyu shook his head: "Those twelve guards are from the Imperial Guards and are well-trained. They are all the emperor's men. With them around, it will be impossible for you to sneak back to the capital."
"Now that they have come to protect you, they are your people. You are their master. You cannot serve two masters at the same time. You will have the opportunity to find their faults and send them away later."
A word awakened the dreamer, "Xingyi, you are right, I can also recruit more guards to look after the house and let Su Yun and Su Ying keep an eye on them secretly."
"The Emperor asked us to move to Huayang County as soon as possible. When will we move?"
"There's no firewall there. We'll move there after spring."
Su Xingyi asked, "Does that count as disobeying the imperial decree?"
"We're going to Linyang City in half a month. Before that, we should stay in Huayang County for a few days so that it won't be considered as disobeying the order. Let Su Yun go to Xishui County to inform Mo Shu and the others. Three days later, oh no, the day after tomorrow, we'll set off for Huayang County. We need to quickly inspect the Cui family's confiscated property, land, farms, and shops. From now on, they'll all be ours!"
Speaking of money, Xiao Lingyu's mood instantly improved. Huayang County gave him 30% of his fiefdom every year, which was more than he could spend. He would have more children in the future to share the money.
"Xiao Yu, why are you so happy right now? What happy things are you thinking about?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I'm thinking about what we're going to do when we return from Linyang."
Su Xingyi looked puzzled, "What's that?"
"How could you have forgotten?" Xiao Lingyu pulled Su Xingyi to sit on the bed, "I can remind you..."
At night, Xiao Xier was worried. When she saw Xiao Lingyu finished bathing, she stepped on a stool and locked the door tightly.
"Mom, come up and lie down with me. I have something very important to tell you in private."
"Wait, I'll be right there."
Half a cup of tea later, Xiao Lingyu finished her skin care and lay down in bed.
"What's the big deal?"
"My three older brothers are all talented and know what they want to do in the future. I don't seem to have much talent."
Xiao Lingyu pinched Xiao Xier's pink cheeks and said, "You are very capable. You are the master of Huang Huang, Bai Hu, and Xue Lang. They all obey your orders. You also have a unique body fragrance that far surpasses others. You are already very powerful."
Xiao Xier said, "I can only make the beasts listen to me, but they are beasts after all, not humans. I want to be a powerful person, and then no one will dare to bully you."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "No one dares to bully mother now. Mother is the princess."
"But the emperor doesn't allow mother to go back to see grandpa and the others. He is bullying mother."
"He is the Emperor, the ruler of a country, with supreme power. We are all his subjects, so naturally we must submit to him. Mother's title of Protector of the Nation was bestowed by the Emperor, so no one dares to bully her. If you are offended by unruly people, it is equivalent to offending the Emperor. These unruly people will be beaten with a stick, and serious cases will lead to exile or even execution."
"Does that mean the Emperor is backing Mother?"
"Yes, you could say that."
"He is not a good emperor. He doesn't even allow mother to return to Beijing to visit her family!" Xiao Xier said angrily.
Xiao Lingyu: ...I don’t know how to explain it to her.
"Mother, I want to be the emperor when I grow up. I will support you so that mother will not be bullied by anyone."
"You want to be emperor?" Xiao Lingyu was very surprised.
Xiao Xier nodded, "Yes! My three brothers have grown up, and they can only make sure that Daddy and Mommy have good food and drink, and lead a good life. However, when encountering other major events, they may not be able to support Mommy. As long as I become the emperor, no one will dare to bully Mommy!"
It is said that a child's future can be seen at the age of three and his character at the age of seven. Little Xi'er was only three and a half years old and already had the idea of becoming an emperor!
She is indeed born to be an empress.
"Mother, please tell me, how can I become an emperor? What do I need to learn? What books do I need to read?"
"this……"
These words really troubled Xiao Lingyu.
She has never been an emperor and has no experience!
How to train her to become an empress?
"Do you know what it takes to be an emperor?"
Xiao Xier thought for a moment and said, "It's about taking good care of the family and protecting the family."
"The emperor is the ruler of a country. It's like the entire country belongs to him, and all his subjects are his family. He must ensure that all his subjects are well fed and clothed, and protected from invasion by enemy nations. With great power comes great responsibility... And if there are disobedient subjects like the Cui family among the people, what will you do as the emperor?"
Xiao Xier said casually, "Then there must be severe punishment. We must give an explanation to the people of the world. Killing someone means paying with one's life. No mercy! So what else does an emperor have to do besides reading a lot of books?"
"Xiao Xi'er, don't tell anyone that you want to be the emperor. If the current emperor finds out, you'll be killed!"
Xiao Xier frowned slightly, "Why? I was just saying it. After all, I don't know how to be an emperor yet. I haven't grown up yet."
"Diseases come from the mouth, disasters come from the mouth. You must listen to mother. After tonight, you can't tell anyone about your desire to become emperor!"
Seeing Xiao Lingyu's serious face, Xiao Xier said, "Yes, I will be obedient and won't tell anyone."
Xiao Lingyu was worried and continued to explain, "You want to be the emperor. To His Majesty, that means you are plotting rebellion. He must kill you to prevent future trouble! After all, the next emperor will be succeeded by his son, and you are not the emperor's child."
