My wife is number one in the world

As soon as the little cutie finished speaking in her clear and melodious voice, she immediately pretended to start thinking seriously.

Seeing the little cutie's pretentious act, Liu Mingzhi simply chuckled and shook his head, without urging her to do anything.

After about five or six breaths, Xiao Ke suddenly revealed a sweet smile that was more beautiful than any flower amidst the magnificent feast of national beauty.

"Hehehe, good father, after thinking about it carefully, I have finally come up with a new idea."

Hearing the little cutie's cheerful voice, Liu Mingzhi nodded gently with a smile.

"My dear daughter, tell me then, I'm listening!"

When the little cutie heard her father say this, she didn't immediately express her opinion. Instead, she smiled and raised her slender arm, gently rubbing her fair fingers together a few times in front of Young Master Liu.

"Good father, um, what do you think?"

When Liu Mingzhi saw the little cutie raise her arm and gently rub her fingers in front of him, he immediately rolled his eyes at her with a feigned annoyance.

"You brat, after I've had breakfast, I'm coming straight out of the city to see off your Uncle Cheng and his brothers."

Now, where do you expect your father to get you a thousand taels of silver?

Now you should state your opinion. After we return home, I, as your father, will make up the difference of one thousand taels of silver to you.

After hearing her father's irritating words, the little cutie subconsciously furrowed her delicate eyebrows slightly.

Immediately afterwards, she looked up with a doubtful expression and silently exchanged a glance with Young Master Liu.

"Good father, are you sure you will make it up to me, Yue'er?"
After I finish explaining my new idea, dear Daddy, you won't suddenly renege on your promise, will you?

Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu was both amused and exasperated by the little cutie's words.

"Hehe, hehehehe."

After Liu Mingzhi chuckled softly a few times without realizing it, his gaze towards the little cutie gradually turned unfriendly.

"You brat, do you think I would renege on a debt to you for a mere thousand taels of silver, given my status as your father?"
Besides, all your uncles and aunts are watching right now. If I were to renege on my debt over a mere thousand taels of silver, wouldn't I have no shame?

The little girl looked at her father's unfriendly gaze and couldn't help but mutter softly, "It's true that the uncles are watching now, but once we get home, they won't be watching anymore."

"What if you, you old geezer, try to renege on your debt then? Who am I supposed to complain to?"

Although the little cutie's whispered words were very soft, because of the close proximity, Young Master Liu still heard them clearly.

As soon as the little cutie finished speaking, Young Master Liu immediately frowned.

"Hmm? Liu Luoyue, if you're itching for a beating, you might as well just tell your father directly."

We've been father and daughter for twenty years now, you should know very well that my method for treating itchy skin is top-notch.

Hearing her father's undisguised threat, the little cutie instantly tensed up and subtly shrank her fair and slender neck.

"Oh, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll tell you now, okay?"

Seeing that the little cutie had finally started to back down, Young Master Liu's unfriendly gaze gradually calmed down.

"Well, tell me!"

The little cutie gently pursed her luscious cherry lips twice, and casually untied the wine pouch from her slender waist.

Immediately, she raised the wine flask in her hand, put it to her lips, took a small sip of the fine wine to moisten her slightly dry throat, and then slowly exhaled a breath of wine through her slightly parted red lips.

"call."

After casually putting the cork back on the wine flask, the little cutie didn't say anything to Young Master Liu directly. Instead, she turned slightly and looked at Zheng Jizhong, who was standing to the side.

"Old General."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jizhong immediately turned around, raised his hands, and gently cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the little cutie.

"The old minister is here."

Seeing this, the little cutie smiled and waved gently at Zheng Jizhong.

"General, there's no need for that. My daughter just wants to ask you a few questions."

Upon hearing what the little cutie said, Zheng Jizhong immediately replied loudly, "Your Highness, please ask. This old minister will certainly answer to the best of his ability."

The little cutie took a light breath with her lips slightly parted, gently shaking the wine pouch in her fair and delicate hand, and then lifted her lotus feet to walk lightly.

"General, my first question is, where were you twenty years ago?"

"Your Highness, twenty years ago, this old minister was in Yingzhou, the northern border of our Great Dragon Dynasty." Zheng Jizhong answered loudly without even thinking when he saw that the little cutie's question was so simple.

Hearing Zheng Jizhong's immediate answer, the little cutie nodded twice with an unchanged smile on her beautiful face.

"Alright! The second question is, what were you doing in Yingzhou in the northern frontier twenty years ago, General?"

"Your Highness, at that time, this old minister was under the command of the Duke Zhang Kuang, responsible for resisting the incursions of the Jin and Turkic armies..."

As Zheng Jizhong was speaking loudly, he suddenly remembered something, and the words he was about to say came to an abrupt halt.

When the words "Jin Kingdom" and "Turkic" came out of his mouth, he suddenly realized that the fourth princess in front of him was the only princess of the former Jin Kingdom.

Her birth mother was the former empress of the Jin Dynasty.

When Xiao Ke'ai saw Zheng Jizhong suddenly stop speaking, she naturally knew what was going on.

So, she casually raised her slender arm and waved lightly at Zheng Jizhong.

"Old General, the past is like smoke, and what's past is past."

In truth, whether it was our Great Dragon Kingdom, or the former Jin Dynasty and the Turkic Khaganate, each dynasty was not wrong in its own way of looking at the problem. Their different identities naturally led to different perspectives.

Furthermore, the struggles between the three kingdoms all stemmed from a common goal: to unify the world.

From the perspective of the overall situation, it would have been a good thing for the people of all three kingdoms if whichever of them had ultimately unified the country.

At least they no longer had to leave their homes and become displaced because of the continuous wars between the three kingdoms.

The unification of the world is an inevitable trend.

There are many things that are often impossible to discuss seriously.

Because if we were to seriously discuss it, we would never find a side that represents justice.

Back then, when the Jin and Turkic armies invaded our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, they caused great harm to the people of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.

However, when our Great Dragon Dynasty's troops marched north into the territories of the Jin and Turkic states to expand their territory, wasn't that also a great harm to the people within those two states?
So, there's no such thing as absolute justice in this world!

Throughout history, all the struggles between dynasties can be summed up in eight words.

Winner takes all, loser for Kou.

Frankly speaking, as long as the situation in the world can get better and better, and the lives of ordinary people can become more and more peaceful and stable, we will be able to achieve our goals.

So, who is the king and who is the bandit is actually not important at all.

As for those past events, my birth mother and her sister, Junyao, both former Empresses of the Jin Dynasty, as well as the Great Khan of the Turks, have already let go of them. How much more so for me, the former Princess of the Jin Dynasty?

So, regarding my question just now, General, please just say what you need to say; there's nothing to be shy about.

After the little cutie finished speaking these words full of open-mindedness and great wisdom, everyone in the large group present, except for Young Master Liu, couldn't help but let out a subtle look of amazement.

Back in the day, before they led their troops on a long expedition to India and the Abbasid Caliphate, they would often hear rumors about how much Emperor Liu doted on the Fourth Princess of the dynasty.

When they first heard those rumors that came from who-knows-where, they would ponder to themselves in their spare time, "No matter how much His Majesty dotes on the Fourth Princess, how much can he really dote on her?"

We can't spoil someone so much they're practically on a pedestal, can we?
However, when they witnessed the interaction between Young Master Liu and his daughter Xiao Ke'ai today, they suddenly understood.

It turns out that His Majesty's affection for the Fourth Princess, Liu Luoyue, was truly boundless.

Your Majesty is indeed the father of the Fourth Princess, but he is also the current Emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty!
In general, the current emperor's status sometimes takes precedence over that of a father.

However, when faced with questions from His Majesty, the Fourth Princess not only dared to bargain with him, but also dared to discuss whether His Majesty would renege on his debts.

Such pampering is nothing short of heavenly.

Let alone the fact that His Majesty has not yet selected a prince from among his many sons to be the Crown Prince, even if His Majesty had already appointed a Crown Prince, would that Crown Prince dare to speak to His Majesty in such an attitude?

To put it bluntly, even if His Highness the Crown Prince had ten times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to speak to His Majesty like that!
At first, they were puzzled as to why His Majesty would dote on the Fourth Princess so much.

However, after listening to the little cutie's eloquent and wise words, they instantly understood why Emperor Liu doted on the Fourth Princess so much.

The Fourth Princess's temperament and foresight far exceed what one would expect for her age.

Let alone those of similar age to the Fourth Princess, even seasoned veterans who have spent years meticulously studying the court might not possess the same temperament and foresight as the Fourth Princess.

As for the overall situation in the world, I don't know what my other colleagues think, and I certainly don't have that mindset or foresight.

No wonder His Majesty dotes on the Fourth Princess so much. With such a precious daughter, who wouldn't dote on her?
Putting aside others, just talking about myself, if I had a daughter like that, I would spoil her rotten too!

At this moment, not only Zheng Jizhong, but most of the generals had the same thought.

In an instant.

A new idea suddenly popped into the minds of Zheng Jizhong and his group.

If the Fourth Princess in front of me were not a girl, but a prince, and would be appointed as the Crown Prince by His Majesty, how wonderful that would be!

If the Great Dragon Dynasty could have such a successor, how could it not reach even greater heights!
What a pity, what a pity, it's such a shame.

Speaking of which, His Majesty must have had similar thoughts, right?
Oh dear, I deserve to die, I really deserve to die! How could I have such thoughts in my mind!

As for the successor, His Majesty has his own decision in mind; how could we possibly speculate on it?

However, the more Zheng Jizhong and his group told themselves not to think about such things, the more they couldn't help but think about them.

Zheng Jizhong and his group were unaware of the current situation of His Majesty's princes.

However, in terms of Xiao Ke'ai's character and foresight, they were all completely impressed by her at this moment.

Hopefully, the future Crown Prince will possess a character far surpassing that of the Fourth Princess, Liu Luoyue, in terms of both character and foresight!
In this way, the Great Dragon Empire will be blessed, and all the people under heaven will be blessed as well.

The little cutie looked at Zheng Jizhong, whose gaze kept shifting as he looked at her, but who remained silent for a long time. She couldn't help but cough softly a few times.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"The old general?"

Zheng Jizhong heard Xiao Ke'ai's soft cough and her clear, melodious voice, like a yellow chrysanthemum emerging from a valley, and instantly snapped out of his reverie.

"Ah? Ah!"

After regaining his senses, Zheng Jizhong hurriedly raised his hands and gently cupped them in a respectful gesture towards the little cutie.

"Your Highness, after hearing your resounding words, this old minister couldn't help but recall some past events."

This old minister was momentarily distracted; I beg Your Highness's forgiveness. (End of Chapter)
