"How do you know I'll ultimately accomplish nothing?" Prince Qi said, his handsome face still gentle. "Could it be that the impression I've left on the little princess is that I'm so incompetent, without even the strength to fight?"
"As far as I know, you are certainly not incompetent, but rather very talented." Xiao Shuangbao commented.
"Then why don't you think highly of me?" King Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he didn't expect that Xiao Shuangbao would actually praise him.
“It’s very simple.”
Little Shuangbao clasped his hands into his arms and stood up straight. Although his height only reached Prince Qi's thigh, he looked very imposing.
I only heard her say: "In this world, people's abilities are just like their height. You think you are already very tall, but you don't know that there are people taller than you.
“Although I have only met Uncle Wendi once, I know from that one meeting that Uncle Wendi is even more powerful than you.
"You think you're good at playing politics?
“But in reality, Uncle Wendi is the master of political tactics.
"He has been in poor health since childhood, suffering from many illnesses and not being favored, yet he was able to ascend the throne. You are in good health and everything goes well for you, but you did not ascend the throne. This is enough to show that although you are talented, your uncle Emperor Wen is even more talented than you. You cannot compare with him, so you can only be a chess piece in his hand to check and balance. You and Empress Chen are chess pieces of each other, so even though he is seriously ill now, he can still rely on his frail body to maintain the stability of the Southern Yan Dynasty.
"As long as Uncle Wendi is alive, you will never have the chance to become emperor."
Xiao Shuangbao's words seemed to be both praise and criticism.
When Prince Qi heard this, his expression darkened slightly.
"Even if everything is as you said, he is now terminally ill and won't live for many days." There was still a hint of dissatisfaction in his words.
"Uncle Prince Qi, I know that you think that if Uncle Emperor Wen passes away, you will have the opportunity to ascend the throne, but if you think so, you are looking down on Brother Ayu too much." Xiao Shuangbao curled his lips and really looked down on him.
"Zhongli Yu? He is only ten years old this year." King Qi's tone became heavier, as if to emphasize that Zhongli Yu was still just a child.
"Yes, brother Ayu is so amazing at only ten years old. He will only grow bigger and bigger, and you will only get older and older. What can you use to compete with him?" Little Shuangbao said, spreading his two little hands cutely and shrugging his shoulders.
Prince Qi hadn't expected that this little kid would actually use his age to make fun of him...
However, comparing his age with that of a ten-year-old child, this Princess Lingfu is really capable of doing such a thing!
Prince Qi couldn't help but twitch his eyes.
"I can tell at a glance that you're still not convinced. Let me tell you this."
Xiao Shuangbao put his hands on his hips and looked at King Qi and said, "When Brother Ayu and I came to Dali before, we were ambushed on the way. Needless to say, there must be assassins sent by you, right?
“You don’t think that those assassins you hired were killed by people arranged by my father, the emperor, do you?
“Oh, that’s wrong.
“Those few waves of assassinations were all done by Brother Ayu’s men!
"How is it? Brother Ayu is only ten years old now. Can you understand how powerful he is?"
When she said this, Prince Qi couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Seeing that he was not annoyed by what he said, but was thinking seriously, Xiao Shuangbao couldn't help but look at him again.
She had originally planned to leave after saying this.
At this time, I just sat down patiently.
Although Prince Qi was not a good guy, after all, when Bai Luowan attacked her just now, he chose to stand by and watch.
But he is a smart man.
If he could be won over to Brother Ayu, then Queen Chen would not be a threat and Brother Ayu's pressure would be reduced.
"I never thought that you, at such a young age, could know so much."
Prince Qi pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xiao Shuangbao. His tone lacked any praise, instead stating the facts in a straightforward manner. "Not only are you skilled in martial arts, you also understand profound techniques that could easily have killed Bai Luowan. Furthermore, you understand the art of imperial power."
"Of course!"
When Little Shuangbao heard this, his face lit up with pride, "I used to be carried by the Emperor when he met with his ministers. The Emperor often took me with him when he handled government affairs. I heard it so many times that I gradually understood it naturally!
"As for the Xuanmen magic, my mother taught me those in my dreams, so of course I have to learn them seriously!"
"So that's how it is!" After hearing this, Prince Qi's handsome face showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
He looked at Little Frost Treasure and said, "I wonder if the little princess has anything else to say to me?"
"That's a lot to talk about."
Xiao Shuangbao had just used his strength to kill Bai Luowan, and now he suddenly felt a little hungry.
At this moment, she knocked on the table in front of her with her little hand and said, "If you treat me to a meal, I'll tell you your fortune. How about that?"
When Prince Qi heard her request, a genuine smile appeared on his face.
"That's certainly good."
He smiled slightly, and then told the people around him to serve the dishes, asking them to serve all the signature dishes of this restaurant.
Next, of course, we have to witness the highlight moment of Xiao Shuangbao, the little glutton.
From his initial shock to his later calmness, it was obvious that Prince Qi was a person who accepted things well.
Finally, Xiao Shuangbao put down his chopsticks, touched his round belly, and a satisfied look of fullness appeared on his little face.
Prince Qi looked at her and waited for a moment before taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat. He then asked, "Little Princess, may I begin my fortune-telling?"
"Of course."
Little Shuangbao said this without asking his name or date of birth. She just waved her hand and said, "You are destined to be rich and noble all your life. You were born into an imperial family since childhood. You are smart and sensible. You are loved by the late emperor and your biological mother. Everything will go smoothly for you. You can live to be a hundred years old.
"But the prerequisite is that your desire for power will not be influenced by others and will not continue to expand.
"For example, Bai Luowan, she is the negative factor that will make your ambitions and desires continue to expand.
"Next, you have two paths, two different results. Which one do you want to hear?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Qi looked thoughtful again.
The worst possible outcome would be nothing more than what Xiao Shuangbao had said before.
So what’s good about it?
Just as she said, his life had been extremely smooth, except that he had not sat on the throne.
Therefore, he is actually not very interested in good results. He will just continue to go smoothly and die a mediocre life.
But he couldn't help but think, this little baby was being so mysterious and not telling the result directly, but how was the good result different from what he expected?
"My king wants to hear something good." Finally, King Qi said with some curiosity.
