The gentleman is a bit cheap

It seems that people have not established a new queen?

Hmph, that's great... When the time comes, the Tenth Prince and I will go to His Majesty again to tease him, so coincidentally, we will be able to kiss and get married, and coax His Majesty to make our family Xuanlan the new queen.By that time, wouldn't your two elders have become the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the country?

Ouch... This is more than a few lifetimes of glory?You may not be able to enjoy the glory of all ages...Tsk tsk, my lord father...Your calculation is really good..."

General Xiao seemed a little embarrassed.

Xiao Xuanzhi grinned, raised his eyebrows, and said sweetly, pretending to be coy: "Father...it's just a coincidence that the child hit the mark, right?..."

General Xiao sighed, shook his head, and said abruptly, "Oh!... Do it! You are the smartest!"

Xiao Xuanzhi covered her lips and smiled, and immediately folded her hands by her sides, bowed gracefully, and said softly: "My daughter's cleverness is also inherited from my father... My father is wise..."

General Xiao rolled his eyes at Xiao Xuanzhi, but couldn't hide his smile.

After thinking about it, Xiao Xuanzhi said again: "Father, I once heard a storyteller tell a story.

That’s right, I don’t know where it came from, there were heroines Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan who joined the army to fight the enemy and serve the country.

——You said, if not, you can recommend it to His Majesty, so that your daughter can imitate their heroines and go over there to kill the enemy and serve the country, okay? "

General Xiao flicked his sleeves, and said decisively: "Nonsense! How unreasonable is that?!"

Xiao Xuanzhi pouted and murmured: "Hmm...why can't they do it but I can't?!..."

General Xiao sighed, and said in a deep voice: "That's a legend!...Really...I see, you girl thinks you've been fooled by listening to books, making things unclear, like a fairy!"

Xiao Xuanzhi gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said, "Father! How can I be a great fairy?! Tell me, as far as the No. [-] martial arts scholar in the current discipline, Xu Tongnose, how can he compare to me?!——

He looks like a potato; his martial arts are far inferior to mine.Every time I compare punches and kicks with me, I finish the calculation only after I have a black nose and a swollen face, and I fall to the ground.

If this is really hard to say, as far as his current kung fu is concerned, I think I gave him the best of it!

correct!He is twenty-two this year, and he is almost four years older than me!What a waste of food for so many years! ...and wow!How did his nose collapse?Didn't it collapse when I punched it back then? ! ——

snort!What about his style of returning to the champion of martial arts? ! ——Your Majesty also said that he is highly skilled in martial arts? !He was even named a fifth-rank military commander? !

I'm really pissed off!If I give birth to a man, within ten or eight years, I will be able to worship the second rank of the 'Mighty General'! "

General Xiao sighed, shook his head sadly, and said, "Oh...it's a pity...it's a pity, but you're not a man..."

In this way, half a year passed without incident.

During this period, a major event happened in the harem.

Concubine Mu Gui, who was pregnant earlier, gave birth to Dragonborn a month ago, and she was still a prince.

This is the only prince that Emperor Shengshang Yuanhao has obtained so far.

Previously, all the concubines who gave birth were the emperor's daughter.

Now, Emperor Yuanhao, who had nine daughters under his knee, finally had a son.

——Why do you say "is"?Just because if his son died "accidentally", then this son would be gone.

It was precisely because of this that Emperor Yuan Hao, who was just in his thirties, was overjoyed, and promoted Concubine Mu Gui, who had made great achievements in prolonging his heir, to the empress, who was in charge of Fengyin and ranked first in the six palaces.

In this way, it can be regarded as breaking General Xiao's thoughts.

Before, he even bet that Concubine Mu Gui must also have a daughter in her womb, and he only needs to wait two more years before he can send Xiao Xuanlan, who has finally grown to 15 years old, to the palace.

In the end, the plan still couldn't keep up with the changes—the emperor was able to give birth to a son.

02

It is August [-]th and the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year again.

Early in the morning, Xiao Xuanzhi put up lanterns and festoons outside, preparing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When the sun was high, General Xiao withdrew from the court hall.

And also look happy, overjoyed.

As soon as he got home, he didn't even change his court clothes, so the old man strode into the middle room and sat upright, as if he was waiting for something.

After cleaning the house with the maid, Xiao Xuanzhi leaned over to her father and asked: "Father, is it a good thing for your old man to wait here?"

General Xiao smiled happily, stroked his beard and said, "Of course I'm waiting for a reward."

Xiao Xuanzhi was puzzled and said: "A reward?"

General Xiao said proudly: "This morning, the envoy of the Wuji Kingdom came and handed over a letter of surrender, saying that he was willing to be a minister for eternity. Your father and I are naturally indispensible.

The army I led at the beginning was the Chinese army that took the lead.Good daughter, just wait and see, this reward will come down in a short time. "

Xiao Xuanzhi nodded, took two steps back, and sat down in the lower seat on the right side of the middle hall.

After a while, the maid Lianxing came over and offered her a cup of herbal tea.Immediately, he took the round fan that was inserted obliquely at the waist to fan her to cool off.

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled at her, and said softly: "Sister Lian Xing has worked hard..."

Lian Xing shook her head, and said softly: "It is a villain's blessing in this life to be able to serve Miss."

The male and female servants of other families all call themselves "slaves" or "slave maids" because they are slaves or lowly people who sold themselves into slavery.

The servants of Xiao Xuanzhi's family were different.They are all self-proclaimed "little people".

There are almost no male servants in Xiao Xuanzhi's family, most of them are maids.

And the vast majority of these maids are poor women who have been redeemed from brothels and art halls by her and her two brothers, and many of them even have outstanding skills.

Or acrobatics and juggling, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so whenever there is a family banquet or a friend banquet, they can save themselves from going everywhere to find Mr. Qin Ge.

Xiao Xuanzhi smiled slightly, and continued to sip tea with downcast eyes.

The fragrance of tea is clear and refreshing. It is a refreshing summer tea with honey, lotus seed heart, bamboo leaf juice and menthol.

It is not only good for fighting fire, but also delicious. It is really a good product for going to summer.

Naturally, this is also the invention of this Lianxing girl.

This Lianxing girl's previous name was "Du Juan", and she used to be a concubine in a brothel called "Chaofenglou". She was sold into it when she was a child because her father defaulted on his gambling debts.

She was bought and redeemed by Xiao Xuanzhi, who disguised herself as a man and understood people's sentiments, the day before the dish, and then brought her back.

After bringing her home, Xiao Xuanzhi changed her name and treated her sincerely with the etiquette of his own sister.

Now it is in front of the head of the family, General Xiao, that she stands by pretendingly.If it was changed to be in Xiao Xuanzhi's boudoir, it would be different.

The group of them are always fooling around in the boudoir, singing and dancing every night.

Either gather around a table to fork sparrows, or throw dice, draw lots, and shake their heads and tails to gather a bunch of people to gamble there, without any appearance of a lady.

Even Xiaojiabiyu's appearance is not there at all.

Of course, sometimes, these girls who share the same heart with Sister Xiao Xuanzhi will follow their good masters to disguise themselves as men, go out over the wall, and roam the streets.

Over time, even the girl who was the weakest and most bloodless when she came back from the redemption was now trained by her Xiao Xuanzhi to be as strong as a bodyguard in martial arts.

In fact, among Xiao Xuanzhi's trusted sisters, any one picked out at random is really the material of a martial artist.

It's just a pity that they are all women.

So Kong has the ambition to serve the country, but he can only suffocate in the boudoir.

After sitting idle for a while, General Xiao said leisurely: "Lian Xing, you also go and get a cup of tea, and sit down beside Lingcao. It's a hot day, you are surrounded by your own family, and there is no need to be formal."

Lian Xing put away her fan, and gave her a happy blessing, and said in panic: "Master, villain..."

General Xiao waved his hands, and said with a kind smile: "I don't know how you guys are making trouble in private, how you are doing things that don't care about your dignity?

I just opened one eye and closed one eye. ——Our Lingcao girl is extremely disobedient and deviant. "

Xiao Xuanzhi wrinkled her nose and snorted, made a funny face at her father, and said, "How can there be no reason not to rebel? If you don't rebel, why not keep it for the New Year?"

General Xiao sighed, stroking his beard, and said leisurely: "You damn girl!... Alas, your father and I have nothing to say now, and I am powerless to say any more. You just watch the toss.

As long as there is no violation of the law, and the whole family is not harmed to the point of exile, even if you take Lian Xing and Yao Yue into your room as housewives someday, my old man will not mind. "

Xiao Xuanzhi drank the bottom of the tea, put the tea bowl into Lian Xing's arms, looked at her father, puzzled and said: "Tongfang girl? I'm not a man, how much do you want a Tongfang girl?..."

There was a crisp sound of "crash", and the teacup fell to the ground.

Lian Xing hurriedly knelt down, leaned over and confessed: "Master, please forgive me! Miss, please forgive me! ——Little man... The villain must have been dizzy from the heat, so..."

While talking, Lian Xing frantically cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"Oh! Sui Sui (years old) is safe! Sui Sui (years old) is safe!—"

Xiao Xuanzhi squatted hurriedly while chanting
