The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 387 Distortion (1)
Zhao Jing sat in the imperial study for a while, drank a cup of Kung Fu tea with the emperor, and remembered what Xu Si'an told her about the south last night.Although the little emperor has not yet announced his own government, he has personally experienced everything, and he must know about this.Besides, what Xu Si'an said may not be all the truth, she was always worried about this and would have reservations.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but asked: "Yesterday I heard Lord Hou talk about the things in the south, and I don't know what happened to the people who were trapped. The vitality of the past has been exhausted, and if you continue to be obsessed with obsession, it will ultimately be of no benefit to the people. "Because of her status, she felt a little guilty when she brought up this matter, so she raised her head and glanced at the little emperor.

The man's expression was as usual, seeing Zhao Jing mentioning this matter, he was only slightly curious, but after thinking about it, he finally understood, and only said: "The court is still discussing, how to proceed in the next step, but we still have to wait for the emperor Uncle's opinion."

Zhao Jing lowered her head to taste Zhou Xu's words secretly, then raised her head and asked: "So, the prince has the intention to go south in person?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded and said: "Uncle Huang has always wanted to kill the remnants of the previous dynasty. If it wasn't because of the matter of the regent princess last time, he would have personally recruited him. Although several ministers dissuaded him this time, but I listened to what he said, but I still want to take this trip."

Zhao Jing just bowed her head and said nothing. When the former dynasty was broken, even though the regent was still young, but after all those years of fighting in the South and North, he had formed a relationship with those people. Now the group of people is forcing him to go over. , it must not be a good thing.But if he didn't go and Xu Si'an went instead, Zhao Jing would also be worried.

"Is there no other candidate in the court?" Zhao Jing frowned and asked, "The prince is also getting older, and this month is his concubine's joy, the emperor should also be sympathetic to him."

"I think so too. Ping Xihou happens to be in the capital for a while, and the Ministry of War deliberately sent Ping Xihou to go out."

Seeing that Zhou Xu didn't mention Xu Si'an, Zhao Jing didn't say anything. As a woman, she always has a little selfishness, and she doesn't want to put people she cares about in danger.But as a general, I'm afraid Xu Si'an didn't think so.Ping Xihou has been guarding the northwest all these years, and he doesn't know the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River. If he is sent to fight, he will naturally be inferior to Xu Si'an.Besides, Xu Si'an had already been to Jiangnan once before, so he must know the battle situation there better than Ping Xihou.

"If the emperor wants Lord Hou to go to war, you don't have to worry about me. The court needs him, which is what he is happy about." Zhao Jing finally restrained her reluctance and said these words to Zhou Xu Come.

When Zhou Xu raised his head, he saw Zhao Jing lowered her head slightly, her brows showing a bit of gentleness and elegance.She used to do her best when she was serving her in the palace, but she had never had such an expression, which made people feel warm when looking at her.It's a pity that this look is not for me.

The little emperor suddenly felt a little lost, stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "Don't worry, aunt, although I am the king of a country, these important matters will be discussed with all the auxiliary ministers. What kind of strategy is not up to me alone."

Zhao Jing was grateful in her heart, but when she raised her head, she saw that Zhou Xu seemed to have grown a bit taller than before, and there was a bit more sternness in his childish brows and eyes.

However, after Lu Xinyue was driven away by Zhou Xu, she immediately felt that she had lost face. After returning to Yongshou Palace, she said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left the palace with Princess Xiaoyi.

The two people's carriage was about to leave Shenwu Gate, and they saw the carriage of Marquis of Wu'an's mansion parked at the gate.Lu Xinyue threw the curtain, biting her lips angrily, her little face was already the color of a pig's liver.

Over there, Princess Xiaoyi only looked at her with a straight face, and after a while she said: "What are you crazy about? How many times have I told you to be gentle in front of the emperor."

"Mother..." When Lu Xinyue heard this, she felt a little bit more wronged in her heart, her eyes were red, tears couldn't help but fell down, and she cried: "Mom always asks me to pretend, but pretending I can't pretend for a while, I..." She lowered her head in embarrassment, "I was bumped into by the emperor today..."

When Princess Xiaoyi heard this, a bit of astonishment appeared in her solemn eyes, she almost stood up from her seat, and said angrily: "You...what are you talking about? You are so calm. Can't help but tell me that you want to enter the palace and become a queen?"
