Chapter 545: It’s hard to accomplish anything alone
"Do you want to do it again?" Kong Xiyan stretched out her hand and smiled at Winnie.
"Okay!" Winnie was full of confidence, and then she was unilaterally defeated for nearly half an hour.
Finally, Winnie was shaking with pain, her face full of disbelief: "No, you won't let me go at all?"
"Will you be happy if I give in to you?" Kong Xiyan looked at her with a smile.
Winnie's eyes moved slightly. Indeed, she was just a little annoyed by the pain from being beaten.
But if Kong Xiyan really gave in to her, she would probably feel even more humiliated and angry.
"So, I'm just respecting you." Kong Xiyan shrugged: "Are you coming again?"
"Not coming anymore." Winnie rolled her eyes at Kong Xiyan. "I have a lot of official business to deal with today. If you keep fighting, I'll be bedridden."
"You're making it sound a bit ambiguous." Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes. "If Yangyang hears this, she'll definitely be mad at me."
"Are you still afraid of her?" Winnie found it a little funny.
"Don't be fooled by Yangyang's gentle appearance. She's incredibly scary when she gets angry." Kong Xiyan shrugged. "The kind that gives me goosebumps."
"That's really strange." Winnie looked her up and down: "It seems that you two get along very happily."
"That's right." Kong Xiyan nodded. "Aren't you the same? Doing what you love day and night, it must be very enjoyable, right?"
"It's okay." Winnie thought about it carefully: "I am happy, but also very tired."
"So you know what tiredness is." Kong Xiyan smiled.
"If this is your way of humiliating me, I'm going to challenge you to a duel!" Winnie glared at her.
"You can't beat me in a duel, so what's the point?" Kong Xiyan waved her hand: "I'm just curious about one thing."
"What's up?"
"I heard that a very important festival is coming up here," Kong Xiyan said, "and you're going to release river lanterns, right?"
"Yes, the Star Death Festival." Winnie nodded, took a clean towel from the side, and handed it to Kong Xiyan: "You want to participate? Aren't you leaving today?"
"Yes, I heard that according to Xing Er Tang's doctrine, if it is suicide, it is a serious crime. Even on the Star Death Festival, river lanterns cannot be used for sacrifices."
"really."
"Then..." Kong Xiyan looked at her: "If you continue with your current behavior and work yourself to death, would that be considered suicide?"
"..." Winnie's movements froze, and her expression became a little unnatural: "Did the Queen Mother ask you to come?"
"Don't talk nonsense. As the former future prince consort, I'm just making high-end, regular return visits to my SVIP client to ensure your personal safety and future sustainability. This is to maintain the supply-demand relationship between us and strive to bring myself more cooperation possibilities and a steady stream of money."
"Your sales tactics are truly unique. You've been slapping me all morning!" Winnie glared at Kong Xiyan unhappily. "You are now the biggest threat to my personal safety!"
"Then tell me if you still have chest tightness and difficulty breathing? Does it still hurt two inches below your ribs? What about the back of your neck?" Kong Xiyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
“…” Only then did Winnie realize that the discomfort that had been bothering her recently seemed to have indeed eased a lot.
She raised her hand and touched the part of her body where Kong Xiyan had whipped her. She was a little shocked: "Eastern evil magic!"
"Hey! If you keep talking nonsense like that, I'll really get angry!" Kong Xiyan's eyes widened. "You stubborn Westerners, stop assuming everything you see is Eastern sorcery!"
Only when she heard Kong Xiyan say she was going to have a falling out did Winnie look away and hide the shock in her eyes.
"Your physique is good, but it can't withstand such abuse. If you continue as you are now, you will suffer the consequences within three months." Kong Xiyan looked at Wei Ni with a gloomy face. "Don't think this is a small matter. Your current behavior is almost suicidal. The Star God will not bless you."
"..." Winnie clenched her fists at her side: "But, I have taken over the princess's identity, so I should..."
"You should love yourself well. As a princess, if you can't even take care of yourself, how can you protect your people?" Kong Xiyan interrupted her: "If something happens to you, Yangyang must come back. You should know how much the princess means to Xing Erluo. What will your people think then?
After so many years of turmoil, the royal family of Xing Ertang's previous confrontation with religion can really be called a "narrow victory."
Do you still want your people to return to fear and anxiety?
If the public loses their trust in the Princess Royal, no one can afford this price."
"I just want to do more for everyone." Winnie's voice was low.
"There are so many things you can do. The first one is to take care of yourself." Kong Xiyan said as she put her hand on Winnie's shoulder and turned her body to the other side.
Half of a head was visible from behind the neatly trimmed bushes in front of her. The gasp that Winnie had heard earlier came from there.
"I know how to be a princess, but I've been learning how to be the head of a family since I was a child." Kong Xiyan narrowed her eyes and said, "There's an old saying in China: 'It's hard to accomplish anything alone; it takes many oars to move a ship.'"
"It's what a good leader should do to plan and unite all available resources and utilize all the people you can command."
At that time, the Kong family had grown to a certain size, and the various branches were competing with each other. Although the family was still moving forward as a whole, there were constant minor frictions between them, which gave the Kong family head and his wife a headache.
Kong Xiyan discovered this problem when she was very young, and spent three years to solve them one by one, thus dividing the various branches of the Kong family into different fields.
Do what you are good at, and leave things you are not good at to people from the same clan. Everyone helps each other and rescues each other, which makes the life more harmonious and achieves twice the result with half the effort.
Although some people didn't believe it at first and wanted to resist, they had to admit that Kong Xiyan was right as the dividends doubled every year.
Real money is far more convincing than big principles.
This is inseparable from the strong support of the Kong family head and his wife.
Kong Xiyan was very fortunate that her parents were very open-minded and had 100% trust in her.
"He's still a child." Winnie also recognized that the person hiding in the bushes in front was her younger brother, the playful little prince.
"Please don't let him go." Kong Xiyan patted her shoulder and said, "It will be too late to train him when he officially becomes king.
If he makes a small mistake now, you still have a chance to correct it, but if he holds the power to govern the country in the future and still makes mistakes... then the people will suffer."
Hearing Kong Xiyan's words, Winnie narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that what she said made sense.
Seeing that Winnie had been persuaded by her, Kong Xiyan slowly added, "It's best to punish your younger brother early, and the same goes for training a crown prince."
At this time, the happy little prince hiding behind the bushes didn't know it yet, just because of Kong Xiyan's words.
His wonderful life entered hell mode.
