The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Just as Princess Wu made up her mind, Qi Zhiyu suddenly sensed something unusual.

She looked up at the sky, gazing at the aura that enveloped the capital.

The changes that occurred inside brought a smile to her lips.

She could have avoided this ordeal, but now she has no choice but to face it.

Qi Zhiyu was very happy with this change.

I wonder what other bargaining chips the King of Wu has added.

Whatever it is, it's attractive enough for her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for it or been lured away.

Qi Zhiyu also cooperated in making her activities more regular over the past few days.

You have to give them a chance to pass on the message to her and trick her.

Otherwise, if she stays at home, they won't have a chance to abduct her.

A few days later, Qi Jingxi quietly approached Qi Jingchen and said, "Brother, you see, our sister seems a bit off."

Qi Jingchen naturally sensed it too.

His sister's face clearly said six words: "Don't mess with me!" She was furious!

"Did you upset Yu'er?" Qi Jingchen asked.

Qi Jingxi stared at her brother in disbelief: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Why did I mess with my sister?"

Why did I provoke her?

Qi Jingchen asked, puzzled, "I was busy at the Ministry of Rites, and you finished your work at the Ministry of Personnel. Didn't you come back quite early?"

"Mother would never let Yu'er be unhappy."

If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then only Qi Jingxi remains.

Qi Jingxi: "..."

That makes so much sense...bullshit!

"Is it because I'm at home that I'm the one who upsets my sister? Can't it be someone else outside who upsets my sister?" Qi Jingxi roared.

Qi Jingchen: "...Do you think that's possible?"

Who can bully their sister?

Qi Jingxi choked, scratching her head: "Go ask them, why are you guessing here?"

After saying that, Qi Jingxi swaggered into Qi Zhiyu's courtyard: "Sis."

Qi Zhiyu, who was lying on the recliner, glanced at Qi Jingxi, raised her hand, and greeted him: "Big brother, second brother."

Qi Jingxi leaned closer, looking at her expectantly: "Who made you unhappy?"

"I heard from the servants that you were unhappy when you came back from outside."

"I didn't eat much for lunch."

This is very abnormal.

His sister, who loves to eat so much, didn't eat much at all.

This is definitely not right!

Qi Zhiyu sighed.

Qi Jingchen waved his hand, and all the servants serving in the courtyard withdrew.

"Today they finally fell for their bait," Qi Zhiyu said dejectedly.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Qi Jingxi didn't understand. His sister had been running around these past few days just to wait for the other party to lay a trap.

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly noticed that his sister's face was becoming increasingly pale.

Qi Jingxi was dumbfounded. What was going on?

He looked at Qi Jingchen blankly.

Qi Jingchen thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something: "The bait... isn't enough?"

Qi Zhiyu curled her lip and gave a disdainful snort: "The way to govern a country."

"The way of governing a country that has been passed down from the past, combining the strengths of different groups."

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi's eyes lit up instantly.

This is great stuff!

Those are the condensation of the essence of the thoughts of our predecessors; they are very meaningful and useful.

"Why does governing a country need to be so complicated?" Qi Zhiyu said irritably.

"This stuff can be used as bait?"

Qi Jingxi: "...Isn't this troublesome?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "Actually, there are simpler ways to govern a country."

"Then..." Qi Jingxi was about to speak when Qi Jingchen stopped her, "Believe me, you don't want to know what kind of method it is."

"Why?" Qi Jingxi asked in surprise.

If there's a good way, why not use it?

Besides, he was thinking of his father and older brother.

Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about governing the country.

Qi Zhiyu smiled silently.

Qi Jingchen looked at him with disdain: "Because you're not our sister."

Why ask something so obvious?

Qi Jingxi scratched her cheek: "Yeah, you're right."

This bait is very attractive to others, but it's really useless to his sister.

"I thought there might be some surprises," Qi Zhiyu said angrily.

After all that effort, this is the thing I came up with.

disappointment.

She also had to pretend to be interested and want to get her hands on it.

The person who set her up was putting on an act, and she was having a really hard time doing it.

"Never mind, I'll go anyway," Qi Zhiyu said with some regret.

She had thought she could harvest more in one trip, but it seems she has harvested less than she expected.

It's barely passable.

"Yu'er." Princess Rui entered, her face full of worry. "I heard from the maid that you're unhappy?"

Qi Zhiyu stood up and offered the Princess Consort Rui a seat.

After everyone was seated, Qi Zhiyu explained the situation.

Princess Rui laughed: "You silly girl, that's the best stuff ever."

"It's not normal that the King of Wu has such excellent things, Mother," Qi Zhiyu said.

Princess Rui nodded: "This is probably the power of Princess Wu's family behind her."

"Hmm?" Qi Zhiyu was not very familiar with the power distribution in this world.

Princess Rui and her daughter naturally didn't hide anything: "There is a reclusive family with a long and distinguished family tradition of learning."

"In the past, those who received guidance from members of their family have all had excellent career development."

"However, they have always remained out of touch with the world, and no one has ever been able to find the place where their family is located."

"Their family thus became a legendary existence."

Princess Rui sighed, "I really didn't expect that Princess Wu was from their family."

"Out of touch with the world?" Qi Zhiyu scoffed. "Mother, you actually believe that?"

"If they didn't engage with the world, how did they gain their reputation?"

Princess Rui said, "If it's their family, they won't be easy to deal with."

"Leaving aside their family's background, the capital of a great Confucian scholar alone... would make many people wary."

"A good strategist... is something you can only find by chance."

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Only living strategists are useful; dead ones are just corpses."

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi stared at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment.

Princess Rui frowned and said sternly, "Yu'er!"

"You child...stop talking about death and life all the time."

"You're a young woman, don't you care about your reputation?"

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi turned to look at their mother at the same time.

So all their mother cared about was their sister's reputation. She didn't even consider whether the Wu Princess's family lived or died, right?

They always thought their mother was gentle and kind.

Now it seems that the person his father has chosen... must be extraordinary.

They're just too naive!

"Mother," Qi Zhiyu said with a grin, holding Princess Rui's hand, "I won't do it myself."

"Why not just drive them to ruin and commit suicide?"

Qi Jingchen: "..."

Qi Jingxi: "..."

How did his sister manage to say such chilling things while smiling so innocently?

Princess Rui was relieved and gently tapped Qi Zhiyu's forehead with her index finger, saying affectionately, "It's good that you have a plan. Don't get yourself involved."

Qi Jingchen and Qi Jingxi: "..."

Mother, do you want to listen to what you're saying?
