Chapter 255 I Have My Own Rhythm
It is said that when Pei Wanxing learned that the princess and the prince were getting married, he was dejected because he loved the prince.
Outsiders thought Pei Wanxing was away from people because he was sad, but in fact, Pei Wanxing was studying hard at home during those two years.
She took the first place in the female official examination in the autumn of this year and was chosen as a female official to attend court affairs.
As soon as Pei Wanxing entered the officialdom, she directly revealed her identity as a member of the princess party.
She only follows the lead of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
As soon as this news got out, Pei Wanxing was beaten when he returned home that day.
Angered, Minister Pei pointed at his daughter with a look of disapproval on his face: "How can you be an official like this?! You idiot, you're still an official! I'd rather give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than you! You'll kill me sooner or later!"
Pei Wanxing dodged and ran that night, "It's not shameful to be a princess party, what have I done wrong? Don't worry, Dad, I have my own rhythm as an official, the princess will protect me!!"
It is said that Minister Pei persuaded Pei Wanxing to resign for a few days.
He was afraid that if his daughter was thrown into officialdom, the whole family would be implicated.
Until one day when Minister Pei went to court, the emperor asked him to stay for a chat.
He patted his shoulder and praised him, "Pei Qing is so lucky to have a very smart daughter..."
Although Minister Pei had been an official for many years, he suddenly did not understand what Your Majesty meant.
But he probably also understood that His Majesty was quite satisfied with his daughter.
Only then did I feel relieved.
This is why Pei Wanxing is now officially serving in the court.
Seeing that everyone had cursed enough, the emperor calmed down.
After waving his hands, everyone finally shut up and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
I’ve never seen so many flowery and disgusting curse words in my entire life.
【That's awesome】
Fortunately, I took notes.
[+1, I'll use this to curse people later]
[Wow, I don't know why I want to cry when I see Xiao Pei wearing official robes]
[Sister, you are not alone woo woo woo]
[I really didn't realize that Xiao Pei was such a rollicking guy. Did he roll around for two years just to get to the princess?]
I think Xiao Pei must have sensed something, which is why he entered the government.
[Ahh, more female officials, more! Girls look so good in crimson official robes! !]
After the emperor calmed down, he continued with his business.
"Xiling and Sheng State are neighbors, and they have been colluding with each other for years. They even intend to collude with Sheng State to send troops to Daxia and aid in its rebellion. What are your thoughts on this matter, my dear ministers?"
Xiling is in internal turmoil, but Shengguo is an external enemy.
"A few days ago, Shengguo sent us a letter, expressing their desire to establish a friendly relationship with us. I think this is nothing more than an attempt to make Daxia relax its guard."
He suddenly sneered.
"Oh……"
"You want my daughter, and you're also eyeing my Great Xia territory with wolfish ambitions. Your calculations are truly clear!"
The court officials all looked solemn at Sheng Guo's actions.
If Sheng State sends troops.
That would be both internal and external troubles for Daxia.
This is not a good thing.
Over the years, the countries and tribes surrounding Daxia had already been wiped out by Xiao Tingye, and they all kept their distance from Daxia's borders.
But only this prosperous country is always ready to make moves.
It’s just because Xiling is next to him and Marquis Xuanping is there.
That's why the imperial court did not do anything to Sheng State after it was defeated by Xiao Tingye and surrendered to him, ceding territory.
"Your Majesty, Sheng Nation has been gathering strength over the years. If a war breaks out, Xiling will stand in the way. The enemy can exploit the natural barrier and Xiling's geographical advantages. Furthermore, Lu Shi and his son will undoubtedly betray our country and betray Great Xia. Therefore, if Sheng Nation wishes to reinforce Xiling... I'm afraid we'll also need to reinforce Commander Xiao."
Another official also came out, "But Your Majesty, I heard that the Black Armor Army has already set out for Xiling. If we need reinforcements, the journey to Xiling will take too long, and I'm afraid that distant water cannot quench a nearby fire."
"Although the Black Armor Army is formidable, I understand that Sheng State also has a mysterious army that is elusive. It is this army that has conquered all the tribes surrounding Sheng State over the past two years and expanded Sheng State's territory. Today's Sheng State is no longer the same as it was in the past."
Several officials in the court immediately started arguing.
At this moment, an official suddenly spoke.
"Where's the princess?"
The ministers reacted.
"Yeah, where's the princess?"
One of the officials remembered something and said, "Her Royal Highness is recuperating in the Princess's Mansion."
Her Royal Highness the Princess hasn't attended court for some time.
But everyone knows that Her Royal Highness the Princess was injured.
He is recuperating in the princess's mansion.
After a small episode.
Pei Wanxing took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The emperor looked at Pei Wanxing, then at his father. "Little Pei, my dear, what do you think?"
At this time, Minister Pei was also sweating profusely.
He glanced at Pei Wanxing beside him.
Pei Wanxing bowed his head and said, "While preparing for the exam, I studied the geography of Sheng State and also the topography of Xiling. Xiling itself is a natural barrier, which can resist enemy invasion and also serve as... an important barrier. If Sheng State really sends troops to attack Daxia, as long as Xiling is not eliminated, they will rely on Xiling to fight. Even if Lord Xiao leads the Xuanjia Army to launch a strong attack, they will suffer heavy losses. There is a high possibility that they will be trapped outside Xiling."
"The distance between Shengguo and Xiling is close enough to allow Shengguo and Xiling to provide seamless support."
"I believe that if we want to focus on dealing with Xiling, we must first balance the power of Sheng. If we want to fight Sheng head-on, we must capture Xiling!"
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I also believe that Lord Xiao is capable enough to lead the Black Armor Army to break through the city and kill the enemy, but... I'm afraid the price will not be small."
Pei Wanxing, a newly appointed female official, could make such remarks.
The eyes of the officials around him looking at Pei Wanxing also changed.
It was a kind of re-examination.
In the past, they just regarded Pei Wanxing as the son of an official.
Only now are there some officials who actually put Pei Wanxing on the same position as themselves.
Treat her as a colleague.
The emperor's expression also became a little solemn, as if he was carefully thinking about Pei Wanxing's words.
Minister Pei was also surprised.
Looking at my daughter, I suddenly felt relieved.
His chest was puffed out and his eyes were full of pride.
[Xiao Pei, I misjudged you. I thought you were just an abstract girl. I didn’t expect that I was the only one who was abstract. Wow.]
[Why are you all secretly rolling behind my back? Xiaoqi, you too, I won’t live any longer.]
[Xiao Pei, you are really capable]
Everyone thought you were the son of a government official, but you proved yourself to be a capable son of a government official.
[The look in Pei Shilang's eyes is like a young girl growing up at home]
[Is it possible that Xiao Pei won't get beaten when he returns this time?]
Xie Yu took a step forward.
Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Everyone knew that Xie Yu was the princess's lackey, so when Xie Yu spoke, they all stopped arguing.
I want to hear what Xie Yu has to say one, two, three, four, five, six.
Xie Yu said loudly, "Some time ago, the princess ordered me to arrest a street hooligan. This man was dressed in luxurious clothes and did not look like an ordinary civilian. He claimed to be the crown prince of Sheng State, and his name was Tuoba Jing."
As soon as Xie Yu said this, the whole room was in an uproar.
