Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

Xu Mingyue straightened Bu Yao, who was slapped crooked by Xu Jian again, her eyebrows flying:

"Dad, I am your Xu Jian's daughter. I have a tiger father but no dog daughter. You actually think someone can bully me?"

"This time I will let you, Dad, take a good look at how the daughter-in-law of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion killed everyone."

Opening the pile of dark purple invitations one by one, Xu Mingyue put the chosen invitation in the middle of the table without any hesitation:

"Auntie, go here."

Lin Yan picked up the invitation picked out by Xu Mingyue, and said slowly under the eager eyes of the two men at home: "In three days, Prime Minister Zhao Gou's Mansion, and the ancestor of the Zhao Mansion will celebrate his eightieth birthday."

Xu Minglang slowly tapped the stone table with his fingertips, pulling out all the information related to the ancestors of the Zhao family from the depths of his mind, and then combined the information, with straightforward appreciation in his eyes.

Xu Jian scratched his head, first looking at his wise wife, then at his cunning and clever daughter, and finally at his second son with a wicked smile.

Xu Jian realized with some sadness that now he has become the slowest person in this big family.

However, as a grown man who fought on the battlefield, he relied on real swords and guns, so it was normal for him not to know much about the affairs of the various houses.

Taking a sip of the herbal tea at hand, Xu Jian looked at Xu Mingyue and asked, "Why did Yaoyao choose Prime Minister Zhao? His status is not high among this group of people."

Xu Mingyue rested her chin with one hand and said quite leisurely: "Dad, although there are high and low levels among these royal relatives, as long as the invitations are made with purple invitations, the number of officials who can be invited to the banquet is pretty much the same."

"Queen Zhao Ying was raised by the ancestors of the Zhao family. On the ancestor's 80th birthday, not only will the queen herself come in simple clothes, but even her two sons, King Cheng and King Rui, will definitely attend."

"Therefore, the reputation of Prime Minister Zhao's Mansion in the previous dynasty may not be as good as that of other houses, but among the female relatives of the back house, none of the nobles in the capital can compare to Zhao's Mansion."

"These noble women in the capital these past few years have all paid attention to both talent and beauty. They gave birth to a good body like your daughter, but they wasted eight years in Yaowang Valley and got the so-called woman of God's will. This noble lady in the capital , who doesn’t want to come out and step on it?”

The things that forced Zhen Guo Gongfu to retreat in the past were brought to the table by Xu Mingyue herself.

"Yaoyao, do you want to re-enter the imperial power?"

Xu Mingqing, who left the capital, established his influence in Nan County, and Xu Minghuai, who stayed in Wu'an County, became the uncrowned king. However, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, which stayed in the capital, had long lost the intimidating power it had eight years ago.

Xu Jian was actually afraid, not that he wouldn't be able to defeat him with a real sword or a real gun, but because he couldn't accept any accident happening to Xu Mingyue.

"Dad, I must first enter the game as a chess piece, and then I will mess up the game as a chess piece."

Xu Mingyue just sat under the scorching sun, and every arc on her face revealed the necessary determination.

Lin Yan stood up, walked to Xu Jian's side, and held Xu Jian's hand:

"Husband, when the wind comes, we will rise with it; when the rain comes, we will walk in the rain. We cannot avoid what is coming, so we might as well seize the initiative early."

Xu Jian held Lin Yan's hand tightly. He was naturally worried about Xu Minglang, but Xu Jian was still worried about Xu Mingyue.

But thinking that Lin Yan would be by Xu Mingyue's side, Xu Jian's worries were put away.

"When Yaoyao grows up, Dad believes in you."

It's encouragement, it's trust, it's the eagle's first attempt to let its chicks fly.

Xu Mingyue smiled slightly in return, knowing that her father was worried.

But she will tell her father with practical actions that she is as powerful as her brothers.

After galloping all the way, Xie Qingyao returned to the capital at midnight on the second day of August. When he entered the mansion, a red sun appeared on the skyline.

Shu Bai, who had been lying on Xie Qingyao's bed for more than two months, heard the familiar footsteps, and tears of emotion fell from the corners of his eyes.

Shu Bai always thought that if he really had a long vacation, he would have to sleep well for ten days and ten nights.

But now that he has been lying on this bed for nearly three months, Shu Bai realizes that lying motionless is the most tortured thing in the world.

However, facing surveillance from all sides, Xie Qingyao had to lie down for more than 360 days a year, at least 200 days.

Shu Bai gained another level of understanding of Xie Qingyao's suffering.

Hearing the footsteps heading towards the study, Shu Bai immediately got off the bed, and a series of "clicking" sounds were heard as Shu Bai moved his muscles.

When the bedroom was empty, a dozen servants entered the bedroom and carefully cleaned and replaced the room where Shu Bai had been lying for more than three months, from the inside to the outside.

The study door was half-closed. Shu Bai entered the study and closed the door with one hand. He tore off the human skin mask on his face with one hand, walked to Shu Huai and knelt down beside Shu Huai, kowtow to Xie Qingyao.

"I respectfully welcome my master back."

Xie Qingyao asked: "How is the princess?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Huai raised his head slightly and explained Xu Mingyue's whereabouts: "Since the princess returned to the capital, she has never left the Zhenguo Mansion. However, today the princess is going to Zhao Gou Mansion to attend the 80th birthday banquet of Zhao Mansion's ancestors."

Xie Qingyao could figure out the purpose of Xu Mingyue's trip after a little thought. There were some things he couldn't do for him, but he could give Xu Mingyue a favor:

"Shu Bai went to the Taifu's Mansion to say hello to my grandmother. She is the only person her grandson has taken a liking to in his life, and asked her to help him."

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her to do many things alone in the capital. You two should seize the opportunity to find an opportunity to change masters. Don't wander around alone."

Xie Qingyao, the master, always had a cold expression, and even when his temper was good, he always spoke the truth. When Shu Bai and Shu Huai received this order, they subconsciously surrendered and accepted it without any thought of resistance.

But when the two of them finished their errands and met again at Prince Xian's Mansion, the wrinkles on their eyebrows could easily pinch the fly to death.

Walking side by side under the sun, the two of them stopped at the corridor, their expressions becoming increasingly bitter.

Shu Bai: "Ah Huai, have you ever met the princess? Does she look like the kind of person who would accept a follower of your age and me for no reason?"

Shu Huai shook his head: "Although the princess seems kinder and easier to talk to than the master, I always feel that the princess and the master are essentially the same kind of people. Just think about it, if the master suddenly met two people on the road and said that he wanted to serve him, he would What will happen?”

Shu Bai raised his hand across his neck, as if wiping his neck: "Then you think we should direct and stage an assassination, and then we take the opportunity to save the princess, and then repay the favor?"

"Haha." Shu Huai sneered twice and patted Shu Bai on the head: "If you dare to act like this, the master will chop off your head today."

Shu Bai stepped on the wooden railing of the verandah, and his tone showed anxiety: "Then what should we do?"

In Xie Qingyao's place, if you don't handle things well, you will have to pay with your life.

The feather fan in Shu Huai's hand swayed slightly, and he repeated the same sentence in his mouth: "Let me think about it."

The noisy sound of cicadas came frequently, and Shu Huai thought of the key person: "The princess doesn't know that the master is awake, but the second son of the Xu family must know it. You and I will introduce ourselves to the second son of the Xu family, and then we will introduce ourselves to the second son of the Xu family. Things will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Huh..." Shu Bai has had many opportunities to deal with Xu Mingliang over the years. He subconsciously felt that it would not work: "The second son of the Xu family is as guarding against our master as he is against thieves. Is this really okay?"

Shu Huai: "You try it first."

Shu Bai felt a bad feeling in his heart, but apart from this method, there seemed to be no other way.

The worst thing is being rejected.

Is it possible that Xu Mingliang really knows how to beat him?
