In the following days, the children took Xue Jiaojiao to travel and eat around the capital, and they were very happy.
A few days later, the children's frightened hearts finally calmed down.
His Royal Highness personally gathered the children together and asked them what they were going to do next.
After this incident, the children finally understood: the world is not what they thought it was, and the world is not what they thought it was.
In the real world, there may be intrigue and bloody violence at any time.
The real world is not all beautiful...
Wangwang sighed: "What you learn from books is always shallow, and you have to practice it yourself to know it thoroughly. This time I really felt it."
Miaomiao also nodded.
In the past, I thought it was normal to hear people talk about dead people.
But when the robber died in front of her, she was still frightened into a state of stupor.
It is clear that "empathy" is not possible. In the future, they should put aside their arrogance and be more considerate of the difficulties faced by others...
Seeing that they all had profound experiences and insights, the Prince and Princess expressed their satisfaction.
At the same time, the prince and his wife also suggested that Xue Jiaojiao should first study at the women's academy of Yingchun Academy, and then go out into the world and do justice when she is older.
Xue Jiaojiao agreed obediently: she also knew that her mediocre skills were not good enough and she still had a lot to learn.
When the news spread back to Saibei, everyone in the Xue family looked at Xue Jiaojiao differently.
Xue Jiaojiao became the savior of the Crown Prince, and the Xue family was rewarded with a lot of gold and silver, and also obtained the right to cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue.
The Xue family suddenly became a royal merchant.
What is the difference between a royal merchant and the richest man among the people?
That means there are people above the imperial merchants, but not necessarily the richest man.
This step taken by the Xue family in Saibei is what many merchants would seek in their entire lives.
Many people outside were extremely jealous and were asking around to find out what path he had taken.
The result of the inquiry was shocking: it was brought by Xue Zhenshan's eight-year-old daughter.
What kind of shit luck is this?
The lucky Xue family immediately bought a house in Tianwu capital for Xue Jiaojiao to study. They also arranged for the best maids and servants, and found the best teachers in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework and etiquette to teach Xue Jiaojiao.
All the resources of the clan are tilted towards Xue Jiaojiao without any bottom line.
Xue Zhenshan wanted to say "not necessary".
The Xue family is just a merchant family, and they can never reach the threshold of the royal family.
I have received benefits from being an imperial merchant and have been recognized by the emperor and the prince, so I should be thankful. How could I dare to dream of anything else?
But he was scolded badly by the old man and the old lady in the family.
"You don't want to, but does the person above you want to?"
Everyone knows that the Crown Prince's children are all very precocious, and the current Emperor Wu of the Heavenly Palace looks at these two little grandsons like the apple of his eye.
It is obvious that a hundred years after Emperor Tianwu, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the little grandson will definitely be the future Crown Prince.
Xue Jiaojiao actually saved the little emperor's grandson's life? And they became good friends?
After that... I'm really not sure.
"If we don't make preparations early, what if Jiaojiao enters the palace in the future and...she doesn't know anything and can only wield a spear and a stick? What will happen?"
"Even if we take a step back and Jiaojiao doesn't enter the palace, she can be friends with the little grandson and the little princess. It will be easier for her to marry into a good family in the future, right?"
"You have to raise your child well in advance, so that you can be worthy of those wealthy families?"
Unable to defeat his parents, Xue Zhenshan gave up.
When Xue Zhenshan first guessed the identities of the three little ones, he also thought of this possibility.
But when he met his daughter's frank and honest eyes, he despised his own filthiness.
How innocent are children?
Why do I have to be so worldly?
But he couldn't change his family's opinion...
Forget it, let her be.
…
Time flies, and five years have passed quickly.
As he grew older, Wangwang showed outstanding talent in government affairs.
Emperor Tianwu saw it and was happy in his heart.
Emperor Tianwu often brought Wangwang with him to participate in government affairs, allowing him to listen more, see more, and think more.
He would also ask Wangwang for his opinion on some things.
Wangwang often gives comprehensive and appropriate suggestions, many of which make Emperor Tianwu's eyes light up and win the respect of all officials.
In the 14th year of Tianwu, Fu Jiarui, the eldest son of Crown Prince Fu Chen'an, was named Crown Prince and assisted in government affairs.
No one in the court, civil or military, opposed it.
Emperor Tianwu privately said to Zhan Yunfu: Wangwang is a natural emperor, much stronger than Fu Chenan.
The boy, who is only thirteen years old, is gentle, elegant, steady, emotionally stable and thoughtful.
His father, however, only thought about accompanying his wife all day long. Even when he went to court, he would finish his work and leave, not wanting to work for even a minute longer.
Whatever his father is too impatient to do, Wangwang always takes over silently and arranges it in an orderly manner.
He is very good at cleaning up his father's mess.
Emperor Tianwu was both happy and worried: "A few days ago, Chen An said that being an emperor was too tiring, and asked me if I could just let Wangwang be the crown prince, and pass the throne to Wangwang in the future..."
Zhan Yunfu suppressed her laughter: "So what did you say?"
Emperor Tianwu: "I told him to get out."
"Then what?"
"Then he just rolled away..."
When he thought of this, Emperor Tianwu felt helpless: his own son was obviously very outstanding and could have been a good emperor, but compared with his grandson, his son was nothing.
Thinking of Wangwang's goodness, Zhan Yunfu also sighed: "Wangwang is indeed a good child."
"There is something going on now. Please discuss it with Chen An."
"Wangwang is already thirteen years old. Many people come to ask me if it's time to arrange a marriage for Wangwang and Miaomiao..."
A royal marriage is not an easy matter. From selection, to deciding on the person, to communication between the two parties, engagement, choosing a date, and wedding... it takes more than a year.
If there is a delay, two to three years is common.
Since Wangwang is going to be the emperor in the future, he has to be more cautious in choosing the future queen.
After taking a comprehensive look at the situation, it is indeed time to pay attention.
When it comes to this, Fu Zhonghai waved his hand domineeringly: "Our family does not need to rely on marriage to consolidate the throne."
"Wangwang is a mature kid who knows exactly what he wants. Chen An also said that he should listen to him and there is no need to rush."
Zhan Yunfu was surprised: "You mean, Jiaojiao?"
Over the years, Wangwang treated Xue Jiaojiao differently. He taught Xue Jiaojiao to read and write, and patiently played childish games with her that ordinary children played.
However, Xue Jiaojiao's talent in reading and writing is very limited.
She would feel sleepy whenever she listened to a book (except for storybooks).
When it comes to martial arts, she is very vigorous and energetic.
Xue Jiaojiao wants to be a female general and fight in the battlefield to kill enemies and defend her country.
What about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, etiquette? Xue Jiaojiao learned them all in a mess.
The Xue family was in despair, but Wangwang didn't dislike Xue Jiaojiao.
His patience with Xue Jiaojiao is unique.
Wangwang didn’t mind Xue Jiaojiao’s chicken chop-like handwriting, saying that “every inch has its own merits and demerits”.
But Xue Jiaojiao herself didn't feel ashamed, saying that she wanted to be a general in the future, not a teacher...
Wangwang looked at the unbridled future female general with gentle eyes and a smile on his lips.
After finishing his daily government affairs, Wangwang’s favorite thing to do is to play with Xue Jiaojiao.
After a round of fist and kicking, both of them were sweating profusely and their meridians were unblocked.
The two of them panted and stopped, smiled at each other, washed up, and ate together.
It feels a bit like an old married couple.
Both his father Fu Chenan and grandfather Emperor Tianwu had told him that they wanted him to skip his biological father and take over as emperor.
The situation of the Fu family is different from that of all previous imperial families. There has never been any dispute over the throne, and no one thinks that the throne is a popular commodity.
Because Wangwang understood at a very young age: the higher the position, the greater the responsibility and the stronger the ability required.
Without Xue Jiaojiao knowing, Wangwang once thought seriously: Should he choose a well-behaved woman as his queen in order to become a wise ruler?
But when he thought about having to watch Xue Jiaojiao marry someone else in the future and having a well-behaved woman by his side, he felt uncomfortable all over!
If you think about it carefully, the so-called virtuous queen can only help manage the harem and entertain the ladies of honor.
At worst, I'll have to work harder in the future, as long as Xue Jiaojiao is happy.
As long as the imperial court is stable and the people are loyal to the emperor, who among those noble ladies would dare to embarrass the emperor's women? !
Lend them some courage!
After making up their minds, the two of them were taking a walk in the waterside pavilion to digest their food when Wangwang suddenly called out to Xue Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao? I want to ask you something. You need to answer me seriously..." (End of this chapter)
