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

Prince Xin then took a serious look at his niece, whom he was meeting for the first time.

She was young, and her face still had some baby fat that hadn't completely disappeared. Especially when she smiled, she was sweet and extremely cute.

She looks like a well-behaved little girl... but!

From the moment they met, he was completely led by the nose.

Language guidance exists, but it's not abundant.

Moreover, he is stationed at the border and is unlikely to be affected by the words of others.

momentum!

An indescribable and inexplicable aura.

That kind of imposing manner shouldn't be present in a girl who has just come of age.

"Uncle, listen to my arrangements. If there are any oversights, please point them out." Qi Zhiyu didn't care about Prince Xin's reaction.

Prince Xin nodded: "Go on."

Qi Zhiyu calmly and slowly expressed her thoughts.

At first, Prince Xin listened normally, but as Qi Zhiyu continued speaking, his expression began to change.

He became increasingly alarmed as he listened, and by the time Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, he was completely speechless.

Qi Zhiyu drank a cup of tea, looking at the still absent-minded Prince Xin, full of confusion: "Uncle, is there anything I didn't explain clearly?"

That shouldn't be the case.

Her father said that the Second Imperial Uncle was very clever.

Surely she can understand what she's saying.

"My dear niece..." Prince Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, my second uncle's family is quite well-off too."

"Moreover, your second uncle has older sisters and younger sisters who are the same age as you."

Qi Zhiyu was completely bewildered this time.

Aren't they talking about things at the border?

Why did the conversation suddenly shift to who lives in my second uncle's family?

Are these two things... related?

"So?" Qi Zhiyu didn't understand, so she asked directly instead of bothering to guess.

Prince Xin smiled particularly warmly: "My dear niece, have you ever considered being adopted?"

Qi Zhiyu: "?"

"If you are adopted by me, I will definitely be a good father!" Prince Xin smiled obsequiously, like a conman who had kidnapped a child.

Qi Zhiyu: "..."

"Uncle, are you really not afraid that my father will find out?"

Her father is still alive, so what's this talk about adoption?

Moreover, Prince Xin is not without children; he has sons and daughters.

"So what if I know? At most I'll get a beating." Prince Xin looked at Qi Zhiyu expectantly. "So, my dear niece, you mean...?"

Qi Zhiyu rolled her eyes at him: "Uncle, stop dreaming in broad daylight."

Prince Xin instantly deflated as if all his strength had been drained away: "It really isn't working."

Qi Zhiyu didn't understand: "You know it won't work, why are you still asking?"

"We have to try, no matter if it works or not. What if it does?" Prince Xin shrugged.

He never misses an opportunity.

Otherwise, how could he have sat guarding the border without ever causing a single incident?

Qi Zhiyu: "..."

No wonder her father's expression was so complicated when he mentioned this second imperial uncle to her.

"My dear niece, I know all that you've said. I will prepare whatever you need me to prepare." Knowing that it was impossible to adopt Qi Zhiyu, Prince Xin had no choice but to give up on the idea.

Of course, it's still a great pity.

If only she were his daughter!

"Does Your Majesty think there are any oversights?" Qi Zhiyu asked. "I'm not very good at this roundabout approach."

Prince Xin: "...Not good at it?"

"My dear niece, you are far too modest!"

How much more skilled can she be?

Even for the worst-case scenario—the plan to quietly kill the general of the border city of Qi and then frame Bei Dian—she had three options, with two backups.

Not to mention what might happen and how to deal with it, she had thought of all the possible ways and methods.

It was so comprehensive that it sent chills down his spine.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the idea of ​​fighting his elder brother for the child.

Such a daughter is something he really envies!

"It's already very good and perfect." Prince Xin nodded affirmatively.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Then I'm relieved."

"My dear niece, when are you going to find that guide to governing the country?" Prince Xin asked. That's a valuable thing, after all!

It's a very good product.

"Moreover, the person who came up with this conclusion is the key!"

If we recruit someone like that, he'll become a pillar of our society!

"Uncle, this person is a member of the Wu Princess's family." Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"They've been planning this all along, didn't you notice?"

Prince Xin: "Huh?"

"Why did the Princess Consort of Wu conceal her identity when she married the King of Wu?" Qi Zhiyu asked.

Prince Xin instinctively replied, "Because they are a reclusive family and don't want to get involved in worldly affairs?"

"Then why would outsiders know about this reclusive family, and why are there all sorts of rumors about them, all of them positive?" Qi Zhiyu asked again.

Prince Xin wasn't stupid; he immediately understood: "They're creating momentum!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled and said, "Raise your own value, then get invited by high-ranking people multiple times. Once they've made enough of a show of respect, then come out of the mountains and back down gracefully."

"Their locations have already been determined."

"From a reclusive family to a powerful clan, a smooth transition, what a brilliant plan."

Prince Xin's expression changed: "Does the Princess Consort of Wu know?"

"Whether she knows or not is irrelevant," Qi Zhiyu said indifferently. "If it succeeds, Princess Wu is just a paving the way. If it fails, her family won't suffer any loss."

"It's just a pawn, don't worry about it."

King Xin: "..."

Fine.

His eldest niece's perspective on issues has reached the level of his father, the emperor.

Actually, it's possible that he's even taller than his father.

"With Qi Rongyao and Qi Jinghong both getting into trouble, the King of Wu lost power, and the Queen Consort of Wu couldn't sit still any longer, so she contacted her family," Qi Zhiyu casually analyzed.

"The so-called summary of governance principles that her family brought out was actually just a starting point."

Prince Xin interjected, "It's so that members of their families can come out of seclusion!"

Qi Zhiyu smiled approvingly.

Prince Xin puffed out his chest in triumph.

Then, he froze.

His niece approves of him, so why is he so proud?

That's not his father, the emperor.

Prince Xin wanted to cry but had no tears.

In just over an hour, has his niece already reached the same level of importance in his heart as his father?

This realization sent a chill down Prince Xin's spine.

"We'll talk about the Princess Wu's family later," Qi Zhiyu said casually. "In a few days, Qi Yan and the others will be returning to Qi Kingdom."

"They're definitely up to something, trying to kill me. Let's take over the border cities of Qi first."

"The city is key; we can also take advantage of the Wu Queen's family along the way."

"Well, that makes the trip worthwhile."

Prince Xin stared blankly at Qi Zhiyu, then asked tentatively in a low voice, "My dear niece, are you really not going to consider being adopted?"
