After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 11 Meeting the King of Zhenbei
It wasn't until all the courtyards held lamps one after another that the King of Zhenbei rushed back to the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion from the military camp outside the city, covered in dust.

Before he could figure out which concubine's yard he would go to for dinner today, Yu Zizhen strolled over with Cui Yu.

The father and daughter walked across from each other in the verandah. Before Yu Zizhen could clasp his fists and salute, King Zhenbei spoke before her, "Zizhen? Are you okay?"

Yu Zizhen simply kept the matter of saluting vague. She smiled and nodded, "Doctor Feng said I can go out and walk occasionally."

King Zhenbei breathed a sigh of relief, but still subconsciously warned Yu Zizhen, "You have just recovered from a serious illness. If there is nothing important, it is best not to walk out of the house casually these days."

After all, it is still winter in the north. If Yu Zizhen catches the cold when he goes out, it will be bad if his condition relapses.

Yu Zizhen nodded vigorously, "I just have something to tell you, so I made this trip specially."

After hearing this, King Zhenbei took her directly back to his study.

After the father and daughter sat down on both sides of the desk, Yu Zizhen did not mince words. She said: "I have two things to tell you. One is that since I have to show myself as a man in the future, it is not easy to have someone around me all the time. I'm married to a maid. I want all the servants in my yard to stay in the palace."

King Zhenbei hesitated, "Then wouldn't there be no one to serve you in your daily life?"

Yu Zizhen smiled, "I can do the simple dressing and washing myself, but the laundry and cleaning can be left to the rough lady of the palace in the capital."

The King of Zhenbei thought about it for a while and then agreed. He usually dressed and washed himself. If he could do it, so could the "eldest son" he chose.

He said: "Then I will choose a few servants and long-term followers for you. You can let them live in the outer courtyard at ordinary times."

Yu Zizhen nodded obediently, "Okay."

The King of Zhenbei was very satisfied with her obedience. "Among the people who come to Beijing, the fewer people who know your secret, the better. Except for Aunt Hong on your mother's side and Mr. Jiang on my side, everyone else will let them know." I thought you were the real prince of the royal family."

Oh, this suits her very well.

Yu Zizhen was secretly happy. With King Zhenbei's words, Princess Zhenbei no longer wanted to send a bunch of maids and women to monitor her.

She nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will be more careful and keep this secret well."

After a pause, she added: "In addition to the people following me, I also want to ask you for something else."

King Zhenbei said without any hesitation, "Say."

Yu Zizhen said to himself, look at this person with such a correct attitude, and then look at Princess Zhenbei, tsk tsk.

"I want a soft sword, some emergency money, and more importantly, can you give me a copy of the Yu family's marksmanship or a book of swordsmanship from any family, so that I can learn from it myself?"

The Yu family's marksmanship was renowned and could exert great power on the battlefield. Yu Zizhen didn't want to give up, but she couldn't carry the spear with her every day in the capital.

In order to better protect herself, she needed a less glaring weapon that she could carry with her.

King Zhenbei thought for a moment, then waved to his confidant who was standing aside to install the background board, "Xianwu, go and get the 1 taels of silver notes."

Yu Zizhen blinked. Sure enough, King Zhenbei was a true hero who was a hundred times more generous than his mother-in-law.As she was thinking about it, she heard King Zhenbei say again: "Martial arts cannot be practiced by yourself just by following a book. If you want to learn the Yu family's marksmanship, I will send a new martial arts master and ask him to come to Beijing with you. As for the soft sword, Do you want to take it with you just in case you need it?"

Yu Zizhen nodded, "It's a bit eye-catching to carry a gun with you in the capital."

King Zhenbei laughed, "Then you shouldn't consider soft swords."

Yu Zizhen blinked, with just the right amount of confusion on his face.

King Zhenbei patiently explained to her, "Since Empress Dowager Lu issued an edict in the name of the emperor, asking the princes guarding the border to send their children to the capital to accompany the prince, then after you enter the capital, she will definitely instruct the emperor to arrange for you to study in the palace. Enter the palace. You need to take off your armor and remove your weapons, whether it’s a soft sword or a long spear, you can’t bring it into the palace.”

Yu Zizhen frowned, and his originally smooth and delicate face wrinkled up, "What should I do? I can't have no means of self-defense, right?"

"Learn boxing and kicking skills." King Zhenbei suggested warmly, "I will ask the martial arts master who comes with me to teach you boxing, kicking and marksmanship at the same time."

Each generation of family heads of Zhenbei Palace will select reliable and talented children from their family members and clan members, allowing them to practice martial arts and fight together with the future family head of Zhenbei Palace.

Some of these selected children could earn a future for themselves through repeated military exploits and become the loyal generals of the King of Zhenbei in the army, while others died early in an unknown battle, leaving only their relatives at home. He received long-term protection and generous compensation from Zhenbei Palace.

The remaining ones, after being injured or reaching a certain age, will take a back seat and return to the palace to be raised.

The two martial arts masters assigned to Yu Zizhen by King Zhenbei were both his close subordinates who had taken a back seat after being injured.

They are responsible for cultivating heirs for King Zhenbei and training a steady stream of reliable soldiers.

"Your Uncle Qin has many things at hand, so he can't accompany you to Beijing. It just so happens that your Uncle Bai's condition has improved and he has no family ties, so he is the best person to accompany you to Beijing."

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Uncle Qin and Uncle Bai are both the best martial arts masters in the palace. Whoever goes with me is a big deal for me."

After hearing this, King Zhenbei's evaluation of Yu Zizhen suddenly increased by two points. He smiled and said: "I'm relieved that you think so. Originally, I was worried that you would dislike your uncle Bai for being withdrawn and strict. .”

Yu Zizhen waved his hand vigorously, "Only a strict teacher can produce a good disciple. Besides, Uncle Bai is just not good at words, but he is actually a good person."

This is not Yu Zizhen's nonsense.

The little original master's status in the palace was not high and her presence was thin. Even the servants with a little respect dared to slight her in secret because of her young age and ignorance. However, Bai Tong, who was deeply trusted by the King of Zhenbei, always treated her with great respect. .

Being able to abide by the etiquette behind the throne to the unpopular young master who has no inheritance rights, at least flattering and suppressing others, he would not be able to do it even if the circumstances were different.

For Yu Zizhen, who is just a small chess piece of Zhenbei King, this is the best treatment she can have at present.

"As long as you are satisfied." Although it was useless even if she was dissatisfied, it was better to be recognized for her arrangement than not to be recognized. When King Zhenbei was happy, he rewarded Yu Zizhen with a few more pieces for her to see. Jade seed material on.
