Emperor Yongning never thought that Zheng Ji was so anxious to enter the palace for this reason.

Enter the martial arts pavilion?

She's a girl, and she's a princess. What's she doing in the martial arts pavilion?

What a nonsense!

Xiaojiu was so doted on by him that she couldn't care less about it. Can she enter the martial arts pavilion?

Don’t even think about it!

He subconsciously objected, but Zheng Ji spoke up.

"Father, please listen to me first. There is a reason why I want to enter the martial arts pavilion."

Emperor Yongning looked at her pale face, suppressed the rebuke in his heart, and said calmly: "Tell me the reason."

"Father, you know that I am not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. I just like to dance with swords and guns. Before, no one taught me in the palace, I just played by myself. Now that I have left the palace, I really want to learn hard.

Ichiban is good at martial arts."

Her tone was unhurried and it was obvious that the reason was well thought out.

"Father, I have had this idea since I left the palace. After this assassination, I have become more determined. If my martial arts were stronger, no one would dare to assassinate me as long as I am by my father's side."

She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally said it without hesitation: "I...I want to protect my father!"

Her face was pale because of the injury, and her movements were stagnant because of the injury, but at this moment, her eyes were firm and her tone was decisive, like a sword about to be unsheathed.

Even though she is still so weak, there is no doubt about her determination.

Once she is really strong in martial arts, she will definitely do what she says!

"..." Emperor Yongning was speechless for a moment.

He looked at Zheng Ji carefully with half-closed eyes, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

It has to be said that Emperor Yongning was a little shocked at this moment.

As the emperor of the Dade Dynasty, he was protected by many people with high martial arts skills, such as the Fengchen Guards.

However, among so many princes and princesses, the first one to say that he wanted to learn martial arts to protect him was not the prince whom he had high hopes for, nor the other princes who were learning martial arts, but a princess whom he doted on to the point of being lawless.

This feeling...how to describe it?

It's like a ray of sunshine shining on your body in winter, or like a breeze blowing in summer. The feeling is not strong, but very comfortable.

A rare thing in the world is just the right amount of comfort.

Even though Emperor Yongning was an emperor, he had not felt like this for a long time.

Because of this, he unexpectedly listened to Zheng Ji's words and began to seriously consider whether the reason was true or false.

Did Xiaojiu really say this from the bottom of his heart, or did he say it deliberately to please him?

Looking at her clear and slightly confused eyes, he couldn't tell the difference all of a sudden.

Of course he knew Xiaojiu's temperament very well, but...

It was really hard for him to believe that a princess could be so innocent without any purpose behind it.

There is no true love in the Tian family, and he believes this very much!

Before he could think of what to say, he heard Zheng Ji continue to speak.

"Father, I want to enter the martial arts pavilion because the Jiangnan Guard soldiers mutinied this time!"

"Father, I know that only generals in the army are qualified to enter the Martial Pavilion. I want to go to the Martial Pavilion to see if it is a holy place for generals to be promoted or a place where soldiers hide their filth and evil!"

Her long eyebrows were raised, and a murderous aura burst out from her phoenix eyes, and she said fiercely: "If the martial arts pavilion really becomes a hiding place for soldiers and generals, then there is no need for it to exist!"

This time, Emperor Yongning was even more speechless.

He never expected that his pampered princess would actually say such a thing.

This sentence struck a chord in his heart!

He looked deeply at Zheng Ji, pretending to be angry, and suddenly raised his voice: "How outrageous! Xiaojiu, the Wuge was built by the late emperor. You are so courageous to say such arrogant things!"

When Zheng Ji was yelled at by him, he didn't lower his head in fear like the others. Instead, he rubbed his neck with annoyance on his face.

She retorted loudly: "Father, I am not wrong. The original intention of the late emperor to establish the martial arts pavilion was to improve the strength of the generals in the army. If the late emperor knew that there was a problem with the martial arts pavilion, he would definitely think so."

Under Emperor Yongning's sharp eyes, she lowered her head reluctantly: "Father, since there are so many soldiers and generals in and out of the Wuge, I don't believe that there is no news about the mutiny of Jiannanwei soldiers."

Could it be that what she said was not what Emperor Yongning thought in his heart?

However, Emperor Yongning could not reveal anything.

His face was still full of anger, and he reprimanded: "It seems that I usually love you too much, and I even dare to speculate on the late emperor's intentions! I will definitely punish you!"

Although he talked about punishment, he didn't actually give the order.

Zheng Ji had already guessed his duplicity and said to himself: "Father, I don't say these things in front of others, who would know?"

The implication is that it was here in Zichen Palace and in front of Emperor Yongning that she would say these words without restraint.

It can be seen that she trusts and specializes in Emperor Yongning.

Emperor Yongning felt very sad in his heart, but remained unmoved on his face.

When Zheng Ji saw this, he knew that he had to take the last dose of strong medicine.

"Father, I once heard my mother and concubine say that you also wanted to enter the martial arts pavilion back then, but in the end you didn't. Is this a regret for my father? I... want to make up for this regret for my father."

For a moment, the Zichen Palace was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Xue Gong raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Ji, his face full of disbelief.

Your Highness Changding, you really dare to say that!

Even the emperor dared to uncover the scars he had long ago. This...this...

He did not dare to look at Emperor Yongning's face, and did not know that the emperor's expression had changed.

Although it is difficult to describe what it is, it is definitely not anger.

Not being able to enter the martial arts pavilion was indeed one of the rare things that Emperor Yongning could not touch, but Zheng Ji stabbed him and said it.

Logically speaking, he should be angry.

The strange thing was that he couldn't get angry at all, and even felt a sense of relief.

Because the one who said this was his beloved Xiao Jiu?

Not really.

Emperor Yongning knew very well that it was not this reason, but... Xiaojiu's words touched his heart.

Not being able to enter the martial arts pavilion was his regret back then, but as he ascended the throne, this regret no longer existed.

The whole world belongs to him, let alone just a martial arts pavilion?

In the past few years, he has sent many people into the martial arts pavilion, so of course he knows what the martial arts pavilion is like now.

The Wuge is indeed beneficial to the generals in the army, but there are also many things that the Wuge cannot control.

In other words, the soldiers and generals who entered the martial arts pavilion were not completely under his control.

This is a taboo for an emperor.

Emperor Yongning once thought about what it would feel like to completely control the Martial Pavilion and hold the world's generals in his hands, like the fingers of his arm.

However, it has only been five years since he took the throne, which is still a short period of time, and he has not yet begun to enter this stage.
