Xiao Muting looked back and was looking at the people at the corner door on the other side, with a smile flashing in his eyes.
Prince Baoqing patted his arm: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Xiao Muting nodded, looked at Ji Yuankai who looked at him in the same way, and shook his head slightly.
"Yuan Kai, you, the Zuo Qian Governor of the Inspectorate, have been in office for five years, right? Are you expected to be promoted?" He said calmly.
Ji Yuankai immediately came back to his senses and replied: "Returning to His Majesty King Chen, I didn't think about whether I would be promoted there or not. Instead, I wanted to change my position. I always feel that this civilian position is not suitable for me."
"You just know that if you run away, it's so easy to do things in the army. If you're not good at it, you won't be able to make a name for yourself there." Duke Chengguo rolled his eyes at him and said coldly.
Ji Yuankai's expression darkened, he lowered his head and stopped talking, looking aggrieved.
The Prince of Baoqing County smiled and said: "You, why bother to ridicule him like this? I see that Yuan Kai's skills are not bad, he just lacks experience. If there are familiar people in the army to lead the army, there will be no big problem."
.”
Xiao Muting also nodded: "That's true. No one is born to fight on this battlefield. They are all gained from experience in battles. Even if you memorize the military manual, it will be useless if you don't practice it."
Ji Yuankai immediately raised his hopes again. It had always been his ideal to join the army. It would be even more fulfilling if he could join one of the three armies commanded by King Chen.
Duke Cheng smiled at Xiao Muting: "I'm really afraid that this kid will get into trouble."
Xiao Muting looked at Ji Yuankai again and smiled again: "Mr. Chengguo is really good at joking. Unless I look down on Yuan Kai, what trouble can he cause? He is as honest as a girl, but he really lacks some decisive courage."
In one sentence, both Cheng Guogong and Ji Yuankai were embarrassed.
Prince Baoqing tried to smooth things over again: "You can't say that, no matter what, Yuan Kai still has a wife and two concubines, doesn't he already have a daughter? Why don't he have any courage?"
"Yes, in this regard, Yuan Kai is much better than me. I don't have any heirs yet." Xiao Muting also nodded with a smile.
Duke Cheng said with a smile: "Prince Chen can't rush this matter, but it looks like Princess Chen is still young."
"Mr. Cheng Guo is right, King Chen just feels sorry for the young princess." Prince Baoqing raised his eyebrows and smiled at Duke Cheng with a meaningful smile.
Duke Cheng understood and laughed out loud, pointing at Prince Baoqing: "You are the emperor's uncle, you really have no formal status."
"Isn't this in my own family? If it spreads, it will be your fault." Prince Baoqing said confidently.
Everyone laughed. Duke Li was one of the few close friends of Prince Baoqing, so the two of them talked so casually.
The women walking behind also looked at each other and laughed when they heard their hearty laughter.
Lan Yang held the arm of Princess Baoqing and smiled: "Grandpa said something happy again, and he smiled like this."
"When I saw Duke Cheng, he showed his true form. Naturally, he was a little more unrestrained. There was no need to act calm like at home." Princess Baoqing said clearly.
"That's natural. Isn't it the same as at home? It's okay to relax a bit." Mrs. Chengguo said with a smile.
"It turns out that the emperor's uncle can also tell jokes. This is good. You don't have to scare people with a straight face every day." Su Han also laughed.
The Princess of Baoqing County smiled and said: "Well, that's right. Just like King Chen, he smiles heartily when he sees you in the mansion. Only you, Princess, can make him laugh so heartily, right?"
"Really? But he won't talk about me when I get into trouble." Su Han smiled proudly.
"Of course. This is the benefit of having a peaceful home. Being in your own home is naturally relaxing and comfortable." Princess Baoqing started the conversation.
"Speaking of it, it's true that there are few people in our palace, so it will naturally be peaceful. If there are too many people, it may not be possible. Moreover, I can't compare with the emperor's aunt and the ladies of other palaces, and I won't handle so many things.
Yeah, I feel tired when I see Uncle Hang Jian Tian busying himself." Su Han curled his lips.
"It doesn't matter what you do, it's because King Chen feels sorry for you and is afraid of losing your innocent nature." Princess Baoqing said with a smile.
Mrs. Chengguo Gong also laughed: "Yes, the princess is blessed. Let those people worry about these troubles. We are not as blessed as the princess."
"Is that so? But I see that Duke Cheng's mansion is very orderly and regular. Madam, are you really tired?" Su Han asked her in her innocent and innocent manner.
Mrs. Chengguo Gong really smiled helplessly: "It is said that a wealthy family has a noble family, but the burden is also heavy. In this house, no one can think of big things and small things, and some troubles will happen. There are many things to think about."
"By the way, who is the master of incense making that Madam mentioned just now? But which Madam in the mansion?" Su Han brought the topic back.
"Yes, I heard that the incense made is pretty good. If it works, the princess of this county would also like to ask her to make some." The princess of Baoqing County lost no time in speaking.
Mrs. Chengguo Gong chuckled again: "What kind of lady is she? She is the niece Yu Xi who was left behind by my sister who passed away unexpectedly. This child doesn't have any special hobbies, but she is very good at making incense.
, just to pass the time.”
"Oh, it turns out it's her. By the way, the several marriages I proposed to her didn't come to pass. This child is already eighteen years old, don't delay it. Then you, as an aunt, really can't do it.
I've neglected my duty." Princess Baoqing asked with concern.
Mrs. Cheng Guogong sighed again: "I don't know what this child thinks. I just don't agree. Although I am an elder, I am not the biological mother. I can't force her too much, but at this age, she waits for no one.
Yeah, how can it be good?"
At this time, Lan Yang stretched out his head and looked at Mrs. Cheng Guoguo: "Madam, it's not that Sister Yu Xi has a sweetheart, so she refuses so firmly."
The princess of Baoqing County immediately nodded: "It's true. If that's the case, then you have to ask carefully who the young master is from and what his character is. You have to let the Duke give him a good test. He must not be a dandy. What is his character?"
It’s not good but it’s not okay.”
"I asked, and she said no, but it made me very sad." Mrs. Chengguo sighed again and shook her head, looking sad.
Su Han touched Lan Yang next to her again, and she immediately said knowingly: "What could be the reason? It couldn't be someone from the mansion. She doesn't want to leave the Duke's mansion."
Mrs. Chengguo's face turned ugly, but her look also made Su Han and Princess Baoqing understand that she actually knew everything and was just pretending to be confused.
The princess of Baoqing County smiled: "If that's really the case, why not just keep it in the house, that's fine."
"Of course it won't work!" Mrs. Chengguo said firmly.
