“You are…”

Marquis Weiwu looked at the somewhat embarrassed Xiao Chonghua with a puzzled look.

Xiao Chonghua glanced at Jing Yi and said, "I just practiced a few moves with my cousin. He went out for some training and made great progress."

Marquis Weiwu raised his fist and scolded his son: "You are so reckless!"

Jing Baobao, who was beaten by his father, said: "..."

Xiao Chonghua won the game back and was in a good mood. He went to the study with the Weiwu Marquis and his son and asked Jing Yi about his experience on Qianshan Island.

Jing Yi's words were exactly the same as Su Mo's.

Wei Xu, Su Mo and Su Xuan went to Qianshan Island to hunt down the mastermind behind Xiahou Yan. Su Xiaoxiao was captured, and then Wei Ting and Jing Yi immediately chased after her to rescue her, and chased her all the way to Qianshan Island.

"Wei Chen and Wei Qing..."

The mighty Marquis asked.

Jing Yi said: "They went to Western Jin first, where they discovered Xiahou Zheng's conspiracy and followed Xiahou Zheng to Qianshan Island."

Marquis Weiwu asked again: "Wei Qing... is he really Zhuge Qing of the Western Jin Dynasty?"

"yes."

Jing Yi answered without hesitation.

Marquis Weiwu frowned and looked at Xiao Chonghua, but there was nothing unusual on Xiao Chonghua's face.

In fact, everyone has known about this for a long time, but no matter how many times it is confirmed, it will always be shocking.

Wei Qing of the Wei family...is actually Zhuge Qing, the most trusted aide to the Western Jin Emperor.

He is not a powerful official, but he is better than one.

Second to none, above ten thousand others.

Marquis Weiwu said with a complicated expression: "The Wei family is not simple."

"How does Su Xuan's martial arts compare to yours?"

Xiao Chonghua suddenly asked Jing Yi.

Marquis Weiwu was stunned.

Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? Is this missing the point?

Jing Yi said calmly: "Of course I'm better! He couldn't last more than three moves in my hands!"

The first move: run.

The second trick: call Xiaoxiao.

The third move: complain—Rakshasa hit me.

How could Xiao Chonghua know that his innocent cousin had been turned into a half-black sesame dumpling by Wei Ting and his gang?

It would be much easier if you couldn't beat Jing Yi.

If Hui'an is bullied in the future, let Jingyi give that kid a good beating.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he has to pass the selection of royal consort one month later.

Hui'an is his biological sister, and he will not hand her over to another man easily.

At this time, Jing Yi didn't know that he would face the dangerous situation of challenging Rakshasa in the future.

It's true that bragging is fun for a while, but fighting is a disaster.

Soon, someone from Concubine Xian's side came and called Jing Yi over.

"Your Highness."

After careful consideration, Marquis Weiwu spoke solemnly, "Forgive me for being blunt, but the Qin, Wei, and Su families have long been tied together. They have enough troops and popular support in the Great Zhou, and they also have the support of the two major royal families in the Western Jin Dynasty and Southern Xinjiang. Once they have the intention to rebel... I am not doubting them, I just think there are some things that we must guard against."

Xiao Chonghua smiled calmly: "Uncle, I want to ask you, with the Qin, Wei and Su families here, is there any country that dares to invade the Great Zhou?"

Marquis Weiwu pondered and said, "Qin Canglan has already invaded the capital of Northern Yan. Northern Yan no longer dares to be an enemy of Great Zhou. Southern Xinjiang and Western Jin are on good terms with the Qin and Wei families... As long as the Qin, Wei, and Su families are there, our Great Zhou will be unbreakable!"

Xiao Chonghua said: "That's right, the Qin, Wei, and Su families are the most solid barriers of our Great Zhou!"

Weiwu Hou said: "But——"

Xiao Chonghua smiled and said, "My uncle is worried that if they have rebellious intentions, I will not be able to resist. This is indeed the case. I am unable to compete with the Qin, Wei, and Su families. If this is the case, why should I compete?"

Marquis Weiwu was startled.

Xiao Chonghua said: "Father has been on guard against Prince Nanyang and the Wei family all his life, but what is his fate in the end?"

Thinking of His Majesty being confined in the palace, Marquis Weiwu sighed.

Xiao Chonghua continued, "If the Qin, Wei, and Su families had any intention of rebelling, they would have done so long ago. There was no need to wait until now."

Marquis Weiwu's eyes flickered.

Suddenly he realized that his nephew was not fighting for the throne out of personal ambition, but he really had his own plans and aspirations.

He had also already thought of a way out for the people around him.

By marrying Princess Hui'an into the Su family, both Hui'an and Concubine Xian could be saved.

Letting Jing Yi make friends with the Qin, Wei and Su families is not to win over these three families.

But once the three families of Qin, Wei and Su wanted to rebel, for Jing Yi's sake, at least they would not make things difficult for the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion.

He had anticipated the worst.

Emperor Jingxuan took a wrong path, and he would never follow his example. He wanted to give up his imperial suspicion.

This is obviously dangerous.

But he had no other choice.

He put his life and death together with the country of Great Zhou.

For the first time, Marquis Weiwu felt the true imperial aura in his nephew.

He quickly stood up, took a step back, lifted the hem of his skirt, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said with a cupped hand: "Your Highness, I will do my best to assist you! The Weiwu Marquisate swears to live and die with you!" -Kunning Palace.

Princess Jingning, who had been disturbed by Princess Hui'an's chattering all day, finally had some peace and quiet.

Taozhi came over to clean up the dishes on the table.

Her princess said that she disliked Princess Hui'an, but all she prepared were the snacks that Princess Hui'an liked.

"Are you tired, Princess?"

Taozhi said.

Princess Jingning said, "My neck is a little sore."

Taozhi stepped forward and said, "I'll give you a massage."

"The Queen has arrived—"

A message from the eunuch came from outside the door.

Taozhi quickly turned around and saluted.

Princess Jingning also stood up: "Mother."

"You guys step back."

The Queen said.

"yes."

Taozhi led the palace maids out.

The queen walked to the main seat and sat down.

Jingning glanced at her and walked over slowly.

Although they are biological mother and daughter, their relationship is not as close as that between Empress Xian and Hui'an.

There is always a layer of royal orthodox rules between them.

The Queen asked straight to the point, "Have you heard about the selection of a consort?"

Princess Jingning replied: "I heard about it."

The Queen said: "All the young men of the right age in the capital will come to participate in the selection, and Su Mo and Su Xuan are also on the list."

Jingning was unaware of this.

Princess Jingning looked at the Queen in slight surprise.

The Queen said solemnly: "The Qin, Wei, and Su families are all powerful and will rebel sooner or later. The Crown Prince cannot defeat them. If you marry into the Su family, you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

Princess Jingning asked, "Does the Queen Mother have any magical powers? How could she know that the loyal ministers of the Great Zhou would rebel?"

The queen paused and said, "Don't rebel. The Su family is also your best destination."

Princess Jingning said, "My mother knows about Hui'an and Su Xuan. It's impossible for the Su family to have two princes-in-law."

The Queen said calmly, "What's impossible? Even if we take a step back, there is really only one person who can marry into the Su family... Mother will help you."

After saying this, the queen stood up and left.

Princess Jingning called her and said, "Mother, why don't you ask me if I am willing?"

I'm so sleepy today 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
