Ying Chen's distrust of Xiao Shuangbao was clearly written on his face.
Little Shuangbao wasn't angry about this. She was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said nonchalantly, "Come if you want. Anyway, if this princess really wants to kill your brother, even if ten of you come, you won't be able to stop me."
The words were spoken in a childish voice, but Ying Chen suddenly felt panicked.
He prides himself on his ability to judge people accurately.
However, he couldn't guess what the little baby was thinking, and had no idea what she wanted to do. He could only frown and follow her into the study with a nervous mood.
Ying Xi was not panicked at all, and still smiled when he heard this.
When he arrived at the study, he asked the servants to pour tea and then sent all the servants away.
Xiao Shuangbao pasted another talisman at the door.
"What is this?" Ying Chen looked at the talisman paper stuck on the door and it lit up strangely, and couldn't help but frown and asked with a vigilant look.
"Anti-eavesdropping talisman." Little Shuangbao glanced at Ying Chen, the corners of her mouth curled up. "Once this talisman is affixed, even if I were to skin you and your brother right here, no one outside would be able to hear it."
"You!" Ying Chen was immediately shocked, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
"What do you mean by 'you'? This princess has a female ghost in her hand. She only eats uncles like you who are delicate, tender, gentle and handsome. She can eat everyone like you in one bite!" Xiao Shuangbao deliberately smiled sweetly to scare him.
"You, you, you! You are so vicious at such a young age!" Ying Chen was shocked and frightened, and cursed angrily!
On the side, Ying Xi shook his head helplessly.
Jing Xi, Wen Yunzong and Zhong Liyu looked at him with eyes full of doting smiles.
That's right.
This is just like the Su Chushuang in the previous life who was fearless and couldn't sit still unless he was doing something for a day!
"Okay, Ah Chen, the little princess was just joking with you, didn't you notice?" Ying Xi stood up and patted Ying Chen's shoulder to calm him down. Then, she looked at Xiao Shuangbao helplessly and said, "Little princess, don't scare him. He's timid, as you can see."
"You are indeed very timid. You are so old and yet you are not as brave as my brothers!" Little Shuangbao curled her lips and said with some contempt.
Ying Chen felt that even if he was not mad to death today, he would be mad to death by this little baby sooner or later!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Who said I was timid? It's just that you, little princess, may be young, but you're not very kind-hearted!"
"You're the first one to say that to me!" Who would have thought that when Little Shuangbao heard him say that, instead of getting angry, she felt a little happy. "When I was little, I was always bullied because I was too honest and kind!"
I have to say, she is just like the person who only knows good people when they are around good people.
Following Emperor Chengxuan around all day long, and Emperor Chengxuan was not a kind and soft-hearted emperor, little Shuangbao was influenced by everything he learned, both what he should and shouldn't learn, and his personality was completely different from when he was a child.
However, Jing Xi and the other two were happy to see her like this.
After all, although Su Chushuang's character in the previous life was debatable, her cunning and cleverness were indeed unmatched.
At this time, Ying Chen found that he could not do anything to Xiao Shuangbao, so he simply took a deep breath, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking it. Anyway, he refused to speak easily.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Shuangbao felt bored.
"Little princess, now that the anti-eavesdropping talisman has been put up, the content of today's conversation can be said to be absolutely confidential. I wonder what important things the little princess wants to say?" At this time, Ying Xi finally turned the subject to the main topic.
"Oh, well, this is what I want to ask you, have you ever thought about becoming an emperor?" Xiao Shuangbao asked.
"Puff——" Ying Chen spat out a mouthful of tea when he heard this!
"What are you doing?" Xiao Shuangbao, who was sitting opposite him, was almost splashed by the tea and immediately stared at him with wide eyes.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Ying Chenze choked and coughed several times before glaring at Xiao Shuangbao and asking, "What are you going to do? What do you mean by that?"
"That's exactly what it means. I want to ask if your brother has any thoughts on becoming emperor. I'm not talking about an emperor like you, the Northern Rong, who have no real power. I'm talking about an emperor like the Eastern Qi and Southern Yan, who have real power and concentrate it in their own hands!"
Xiao Shuangbao explained and then looked at Ying Xi again, "Do you have such an idea? If so, this princess can lend you a hand!"
Her tone was so confident and determined, as if she could definitely do it as long as she said it.
Ying Chen felt that she was simply talking nonsense.
In Beirong, if a person wants to become a centralized emperor, the first thing he has to face is the criticism from the other major families.
This is almost impossible!
However, Yingxi looked thoughtful.
The Ying family’s current success is naturally inseparable from Ying Xi’s many strategies.
Soon, he just smiled and said quite honestly: "It would be a lie to say that I don't want to, but it's a bit unrealistic to say that I want to. It's very difficult in Beirong Country. The little princess said she wanted to help me, but I don't know how she plans to do it?
"Little Princess, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you want to surpass the aristocratic families and become emperor in Beirong, you must first eliminate these ten aristocratic families. This is not an easy task.
"The most difficult point is that the military power of Beirong State is dispersed among the largest families.
"If I want to become emperor, I must seize military power. However, other noble families already hold military power and armies. If I want to become emperor, why wouldn't they want to? If that happens, it will inevitably cause chaos in the Northern Rong Kingdom and weaken the country's overall strength."
Not to mention anything else, just the issue of military power is fraught with difficulties.
Although Ying Xi was ambitious, he did not want to see the major families torn apart in order to fight for the throne. If that happened, the Beirong Kingdom would be in chaos, and there would be no guarantee that other neighboring countries would not wait for an opportunity to invade.
"I understand what you've said, but it's absolutely impossible to claim the throne easily. My brothers have said that any attempt to seize power will involve bloodshed and sacrifice. It depends on how you and I minimize these sacrifices. Furthermore, there's no internal strife in the Northern Rong Kingdom right now, so how can we avoid bloodshed and suffering for the people?"
Little Shuangbao's soft, pale face was filled with solemnity and seriousness at the moment, and his eyes were fixed on one spot with a strange look. "I've been to various places in Jincheng before, and as the capital of Beirong, Jincheng has such a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The aristocratic families are wealthy, while the common people are poor. It's unimaginable.
“If this continues from generation to generation, the people will suffer from generation to generation.
"But if someone steps forward and declares himself emperor, implementing benevolent policies and allowing more and more people to live a good life, even if there is temporary bloodshed and sacrifice, from a long-term perspective, it will be a great achievement for generations to come."
When she said this, Ying Xi and Ying Chen were both surprised.
I never thought that this little baby could come up with such profound truths!
