C73 (1/2)

When Ru Yi heard Xu Yang say ”the empress faction” instead of ”the second prince faction”, she raised her eyebrows and an unfathomable interest appeared in the corner of her eyes.

In the past, the Northwest of Yan Country had often been attacked by the barbarians. It was said that the barbarians had not collected enough food this year, and the autumn harvest of the Northwest Prefectures was nearing. The barbarians had even come this year to disrupt the looting of food …

Emperor Qinghe tilted his head to look at Ru Yi. ”What do you think, Grand Princess?”

Ru Yi stood up and said, ”Abominable, I think it is very difficult for the people to grow grain, if they are robbed, eat without food, do not cultivate with food, and toil for a year, there is no such logic in the world, the people are the fathers of the people, we cannot let the barbarians steal food, not even a grain of grain is good!”

Emperor Qing He was silent. Only the Marquis of Bravery stepped forward. ”Your Majesty, this subject believes that His Highness's words are reasonable. The commoners here are all citizens of our Yan Kingdom. How could they be bullied by the barbarians?”

”Then what does Marquis Yong think we should do?”

”This official thinks that matters of the nation are like family matters. If I know that the grain in the field has been stolen, I will bring my family members to guard the grain and not let anyone else rob them. If the barbarians were to rob the grain, we will beat them one by one and beat a pair …”

Emperor Qing He laughed. ”Alright, we'll do as the Marquis of Braveheart says. We'll send troops over to guard the grain.”

Only then did the imperial court burst into a buzz of conversation. Leading soldiers to guard the grain was different from fighting. This loss was small, so it was relatively easy to earn merits. Thus, a dispute started over the choice of soldiers to lead the army.

In the evening, Ru Yi accompanied Emperor Qing He for dinner, but she still refused to leave.

Qing He rolled his eyes at her. ”Hurry up and stop with your thoughts. This Emperor forbids you.”

”Father, I am just following you to take a look. What can I do as a child? ”Are you still afraid that your son will bring disaster to the country of Jiang?”

Emperor Qinghe couldn't hold back his laughter. Even the high-ranking official was secretly laughing with his head bowed.

If I had four or five children, no matter where you go, you would be in heaven. I would also help you build a ladder, and now I only have you as my seedling. Which girl in the capital isn't gentle and demure?

Ru Yi's expression didn't change as she served the tea. ”I, your son, came to guard the food with the general, but I wasn't able to get along with Pi Shi. Furthermore, I have guards, so I don't usually use their martial arts.

If this goes on, I am truly afraid that one day I will be in danger. When I need them, my martial arts skills will be unfamiliar.

”No,” Qing He rolled his eyes at her. ”What if you are in danger?”

”That won't happen. The fortune-tellers all say that this son has a long lifespan. It's not a problem to me to live to ninety-nine. Besides, even if there's a chance, royal father is still young. ”Ouch!” Before he could finish his words, Emperor Qinghe had casually tossed something over to his head and slammed it into his head!

In the past, he had been a gentle emperor, with a graceful bearing, but ever since he had adopted a woman, his temper had become vulgar.

”Father is too lively … he has made me lose my head.” Ru Yi covered her forehead and complained.

After this, Ru Yi stayed by Emperor Qing He's side, causing him to laugh in annoyance. ”This Emperor didn't realize that you were so elusive, so I hurried to leave. Where's the Imperial Tutor, have you finished your lesson?”

Ru Yi nodded her head like she was pounding garlic. ”Imperial Father, how about you test me?”

Emperor Qing He was just about to make things difficult for her when he recalled that the same thing had happened the last time. In the end, his daughter had taken him on and he shut his mouth.

”As long as you can take ten moves from Jun Ruye, no, twenty moves, I'll agree.”

Just with the princess' small physique and her kung fu skills, if he wanted to take ten moves, heh heh, then take twenty moves, he could call her father!

Ru Yi finally stopped walking around Emperor Qing He. Instead, Emperor Qing He felt a strange sense of loss. His child had grown up, and he wanted to fly away …

Ru Yi stroked her chin as she walked around Jun Ruye a few times. Finally, she asked in a spirited manner, ”Commander Jun, if you don't go easy on him, how long will you take to train on your own?”

Jun Ruye remained calm after hearing these words, but the other people serving him in the palace, such as Li Rou, Li Jing, and Green Bamboo, all had their mouths wide open in shock.

”If you practice hard every day, you'll need ten years,” Jun Ruye replied before Ru Yi could wait too long.

Ru Yi's smile twisted slightly as she muttered in a low voice, ”Ten years, even the old king has turned to dust …”

Within the palace, due to the fact that he often lived in the same residence as Tutor Qian, these words were said more and more every day.
