princess

Chapter 19

Xiao Yuanmin didn't know the worries of Madam Zheng and the others. After getting up and dressing, she suddenly said, "Thank you."

A smile appeared on Tang Nanny's face, "We all serve the princess, as we should."

Mother Zheng wiped Xiao Yuanmin's hands carefully with ointment, and then said, "Princess, you don't need to think too much, we are here."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuanmin laughed, the little dimples made his heart soften.

Yao Shengqin is Xiao Yuanmin's uncle, and every time he would bring her some gadgets, sometimes clothes made by his grandmother, sometimes beautiful bracelets, and delicate toys.

"Uncle, how is cousin?" Xiao Yuanmin asked as he looked at the purse with two golden carps embroidered in his hand.

The cousin she mentioned is the son of Yao Shengqin. He is ten years old this year. He is a genius in martial arts, but he is the most reluctant to read because he is detained and not allowed to practice martial arts. He can only study in the study. , went to my grandfather's house.

But he forgot that the wife Yao's father married to Yao Shengqin was from a scholarly family, and the family produced a large number of Hanlin scholars, so he was even more tragic.

Thinking of his son, Yao Shengqin said with a smile, "Begging to come back every day, let someone tell you, and I will definitely study hard when I come back."

"Hehehe..." Xiao Yuanmin laughed when he thought of his cousin, "What did grandpa say?"

"Your grandfather said, since you have the courage to run away from home, you should enjoy the feeling of leaving home." In fact, what Yao's father said was that since this kid is looking for training by himself, let him enjoy it and have the energy to run away. Vigorous vitality, can not die.

"By the way, how is uncle Murong Xi?" Xiao Yuanmin flipped through the book in his hand and asked casually.

"The kid from Murong's family?" Yao Shengqin was stunned for a moment before he realized what Xiao Yuanmin meant, "He's a good one. If your cousin can be as sensible as him, I'll be satisfied."

After hearing these words, Xiao Yuanmin completely relaxed, shook his feet, and asked, "How is General Lin?"

General Lin is the father of Concubine Lin Gui, so it is impossible for Xiao Yuanmin not to care.

"It's time to switch defenses this year." Yao Shengqin half-closed his eyes, "I'm afraid he will be transferred back."

This news was not good for Xiao Yuanmin, so he pursed his lower lip... He lowered his head and drew a little pig on the paper.

Yao Shengqin thought of his father's words, if the princess asks about General Lin, tell her what I said next, if you don't ask, you are not allowed to take the initiative to say it.

"General Lin has been helping Jinchao guard the frontier, it's really hard work." Yao Shengqin did not stop Xiao Yuanmin's scribbles, and said slowly, "And the frontier is bitter and cold, old general Lin can be said to have worked hard, and the nine admirals have always been old general Lin. belongs to."

Xiao Yuanmin froze for a moment, even if she was ignorant, she knew the importance of the position of admiral of the Nine Gates. He was a military attache stationed in the capital, responsible for guarding and guarding inside and outside the nine gates of the inner city, and also responsible for night patrolling, firefighting, and investigation. Baojia, ban, arrest, prison break, etc... Non-emperor cronies cannot do this position.

Yao Shengqin was afraid that Xiao Yuanmin would not know, so he explained, "The admiral of the Nine Gates is getting old now, and he has already bid farewell to His Majesty."

Yao's family is mother's natal family, her and her younger brother's maternal ancestral family, and they will never help outsiders, Xiao Yuanmin asked, "Is there anyone else who should be transferred?"

Appreciation flashed in Yao Shengqin's eyes, "Concubine Zhu's father."

"I understand." Xiao Yuanmin suddenly realized, and smiled and rolled his eyes, "Yuanmin knows how to do it."

Yao Shengqin nodded, "Then, can the princess change another piece of paper? The emperor asked, but I can't tell you. The princess drew a picture of a pig eating food."

"Why not." Xiao Yuanmin squeezed his eyes, "How cute." He added another one beside him.

Yao Shengqin smiled, "Princess has already met the sixth prince whom I miss so much."

"Yes, the sixth brother is very cute." Xiao Yuanmin added a curly tail to the little pig.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been the youngest. Now that he has a younger brother, it is good to be closer." Yao Shengqin had something in his words. Concubine Ning was the daughter of the late prime minister, and she was known as a talented woman before entering the palace. Knowing how to do it is the best.

It's time for the prince to find a helper, after all, there are two older than him, and the rest who may give birth to a prince, whether it is Concubine Lin or the queen mother's niece Zhu Concubine, are not very desirable, even five Who knows what will happen to those who have newly entered the palace after the year.

Xiao Yuanmin responded, and suddenly thought, since Concubine Lin Gui and the Empress Dowager's natal family are all competing for the position of Admiral of the Nine Sects, I am afraid that the father and emperor will not give it to anyone in the end. If it is for them... this position... will not be the Yao family , then the Murong family?is it possible?

Could it be that the grandfather is also testing the holy will?As long as Murong Xi became his younger brother's companion, the Murong family would be tied to their boat, and the Murong family would be given such an important position as the admiral of the Nine Gates, which could be said to be a strong backing for his younger brother.

"Where are Duke Daxi and the others?" Xiao Yuanmin asked curiously.

"We will arrive in the capital in five days." Yao Shengqin said, "Although Daxi County borders our dynasty, its customs are completely different. If there is a chance, the prince and princess can go and see it together."

Xiao Yuanmin responded, "I will tell my father."

The uncle meant that he wanted to increase the chances for himself and his younger brother to show up outside, and such opportunities were not many.

Yao Shengqin thought for a while before saying, "Five years from now, there may be a girl from the Yao family entering the palace."

It is Yao's family and not his grandfather's family. Xiao Yuanmin discovered the meaning of Yao Shengqin's words. Although his grandfather's family is the direct line of the Yao family, it is not the patriarch. I don't dare and don't need to send another girl into the palace, but now... no matter what their plans are, I'm afraid they will use their siblings at that time.

"What the patriarch means is that you two are in younger grades, so it's good to have someone from the clan to take care of you." Yao Shengqin gritted his teeth when he said this. My heart hurts. Those who make sarcastic remarks can't see the reality clearly. They even resent my sister for not taking care of the family when she was alive. How can she take care of her?

All to senior officials?That also depends on whether there is life to enjoy.

"What does grandfather mean?" Xiao Yuanmin looked at Yao Shengqin and clenched her hands unconsciously. She didn't care about the rest of the Yao family. What she cared about most was the family of grandfather and uncle. What was their plan? How close is it to the palace?
"Actually, our family has never been close to the clan." Yao Shengqin confiscated Xiao Yuanmin's picture of a group of pigs eating food, "Draw a piece of orchid grass, your grandmother likes orchids." Give this picture of pigs to the old man, lest he feel upset Balance, "You don't care."
