Chapter 170 The Mobei Envoy is Coming
Jiujiu said as he picked up the medicine bowl and brought it to his mouth.
The Queen Mother was so stimulated by Jiujiu's action that she wanted to stand up and snatch the medicine bowl from Jiujiu's hand, telling Jiujiu not to drink her medicine carelessly.
She doesn't want anything to happen to Jiujiu.
She was too anxious and unsteady on her feet, and fell to the ground as soon as she stood up.
"The Queen."
Xiao Tan and several maids hurriedly helped the Queen up.
After the queen sat firmly, she compromised and said, "Okay, Jiujiu, mother, take the medicine. Mother, take the medicine. Mother is really afraid of you."
Upon hearing this, Jiujiu smiled with satisfaction. This is pretty good.
After the queen drank the medicine, she saw that Jiujiu still had a smile on her lips.
She felt like she was being tricked and threatened by a child, but she also thought she was overthinking it.
How old is Jiujiu?
How could he threaten her in such a way?
Jiujiu simply wanted her to take the medicine. Jiujiu was sincere and innocent to her.
"Well, now that the Queen Mother has finished her meal and taken her medicine, Jiujiu will leave."
"Come back tomorrow to accompany mother to eat and take medicine."
"I believe that with Jiujiu's company, the Queen Mother will definitely eat well and take medicine."
Queen: “…”
Is this something that can't be avoided?
The queen was a little worried.
Xiao Tan and several other servants were very happy. It was great that the Queen was saved.
Thank you, little princess.

Qiu Shui Residence.
Emperor Zhaoning and Concubine Li were both here.
Emperor Zhaoning came to visit Concubine Li and also to see Jiujiu, the little girl who always brought him surprises.
He heard about the Queen's meal and medicine today.
Jiujiu is great.
They tried their best to persuade the queen to eat well, drink well and live well, but it was useless. Instead, the queen wanted to die even more.
Jiujiu went and persuaded the queen.
As soon as Jiujiu came back, Emperor Zhaoning said with a smile: "Good Jiujiu, come quickly, let your father hug you?"
Jiujiu opened her arms and threw herself into Emperor Zhaoning's arms, "Father, are you not busy today?"
"I'm not busy anymore. I'm here to see you and your mother." Emperor Zhaoning picked up Jiujiu and weighed her. "Jiujiu has gained some weight. After the spring comes, I'll have to measure her for clothes."
Emperor Zhaoning said lovingly, "Father wishes Jiujiu would grow up more slowly, so that Father can hold Jiujiu in his arms all the time."
When a girl is old enough, she should avoid her father.
He can no longer hug his daughter so unscrupulously.
After hearing this, Jiujiu laughed.
【Jiujiu wants to grow up quickly. 】
[I don’t want to be small forever, like a little carrot head, who can only follow behind adults and look at adults’ butts. ]
[If someone is dishonest and secretly farts at Jiujiu, Jiujiu will be in trouble. ]
Emperor Zhaoning laughed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he had to hold it in.
Jiujiu said: "Father, after the New Year, Jiujiu wants to learn medical skills from Qingtai Medicine." In this way, she can also help the dean's mother realize her dream of promoting traditional Chinese medicine.
Back then, the director’s mother was good at traditional Chinese medicine, but she was hit so hard that she couldn’t make a living and had to live in seclusion in a corner.
The director was unwilling to give up, so she taught the children in the orphanage to memorize prescriptions.
Jiujiu memorized a lot of prescriptions, but couldn't use them all.
I think after learning medical skills, I will be able to apply them.
"Jiujiu still wants to learn martial arts, Father, is that possible?"
"Okay, sure."
Emperor Zhaoning thought that Jiujiu just wanted to learn for fun and agreed.
"But, Jiujiu, you should go to the study room to study." Emperor Zhaoning said, "Dijiang is no longer suitable to continue teaching you."
Jiujiu: “…”
Here we go again.
"Jiujiu wants to be taught by Brother Dijiang."
"Jiujiu wants to study with Brother Dijiang."
In order to prevent Jiujiu from refusing, Emperor Zhaoning said, "Dijiang can go to the study room with you."
"In this way, Jiujiu will not refuse, right?"
It can be considered as a favor he did to the male protagonist mentioned by Jiujiu.
I hope that in the future, Dijiang will be grateful for Xichu's nurturing.
"Okay, okay, Jiujiu won't refuse." Jiujiu agreed happily.
After the New Year, she will go to the study room to study.
"In a few days, the envoys from Mobei will visit the palace."
"Princess Li, will you bring Jiujiu with you when the time comes?"
Emperor Zhaoning made arrangements in advance.
The Mobei Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom are related by marriage for three generations and are very close.
Now that the Southern Kingdom has been forced to cede territory and pay compensation by Western Chu, Mobei has long been dissatisfied. They are afraid that the invaders this time have ill intentions and want to vent the anger of the Southern Kingdom. They also want to test the strength of Western Chu so as to decide whether to join forces with the Southern Kingdom to attack Western Chu.
The huge sum of money that the Southern Kingdom owed to the Western Chu has never been repaid.
The Southern Kingdom has long wanted to start a war again in order to lose a huge sum of money.
It would be bad if Mobei also started to want to fight.
Emperor Zhaoning wanted to take Jiujiu with him to listen to her thoughts, and then act accordingly to avoid igniting the war in Mobei.
Western Chu is not suitable for war now.
After the last war, Western Chu was still in the stage of recuperation, and there was not enough silver in the treasury. Once a war broke out, it would be attacked jointly by the two countries. Even if Western Chu did not perish, its strength would be greatly reduced.
By then, if the disaster of national destruction that Jiujiu mentioned comes, we may not be able to deal with it.
Emperor Zhaoning had a lot to consider.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Li responded.
Jiujiu muttered to himself.
[The Mobei Kingdom is not a good thing! ]
[They are fierce and warlike, and are good at keeping wild beasts in captivity, and controlling them to scare and injure people.]
[If the Saint Jiao Yan was still alive, Xi Chu wouldn't have to be afraid of them, and their beasts would have bowed down before the Saint. But the Saint Jiao Yan is no longer with us, and no one in Xi Chu can control the beasts.]
[What if they show up with wild beasts? ]
[Even if they can't control the beasts to fight, they can only control them to scare people, and they can scare people to death. If the people of Xichu are scared and reveal some secrets, it will be bad.]
Emperor Zhaoning was also worried about this.
As for other things, he could still think of solutions, as there were always more solutions than problems.
But controlling wild beasts to scare and hurt people is difficult to deal with!
There are not many people in Xi Chu who can control wild beasts, and they are not as proficient as the people in Mobei. In this regard, they cannot compare with the people in Mobei.

Post station, the envoy from Mobei Kingdom just arrived today.
They were supposed to arrive before the New Year, but there was a minor problem on the way and they were delayed for some time.
As soon as they arrived today, the chief envoy of Mobei, Wusun Jin, led everyone to discuss and test the countermeasures of Western Chu.
Because Western Chu had won the battle before, they were timid and did not dare to test or do anything to Western Chu.
But now, their friendly country, the South, is in a difficult situation and facing many crises, and has been asking them for help.
They didn't dare to help easily. They had to test Xi Chu's strength first before making a decision.
At this moment, Wusun Jin was pressing the table and looking at the envoys in front of him.
The hair of all of them was braided into small braids, then tied into ponytails and tied behind their heads. They wore a large earring on one ear and had big beards, which was very typical of Mobei.
"Tell me, what are your opinions?" Wusun Jin said.
"Lord Wu, in my opinion, we should bring our own mounts into the palace and give them a warning first to scare them. Once they are scared to death, we can try again."
"By then, they will have many flaws, and we will be able to see their true strength."
"But, have you forgotten? There was once a saint in Xichu who could control wild beasts."
"That saint died a long time ago, why worry about her?"
"She is dead, but our great master also said that she was reincarnated as the daughter of Prince Duan of Western Chu, named Feng Caiwei. This girl is blessed and will surely be the mother of the country in the future."
