At the same time, the Wu Mansion.

Wu Ji was also invited to the Empress Dowager's family banquet, but even though there were only a few hours left before the banquet began, Wu Ji still shot arrows alone in the martial arts field in the mansion.

When Wu Tai learned about this, he was going crazy with anger, and immediately rushed to the martial arts arena, and yelled angrily at Wu Ji, "Nie Zhan, are you trying to piss me off?"

Although he was scolded bloody by his grandfather, Wu Ji didn't turn his head. He just squinted his eyes and aimed at the straw man target in the distance. When he let go of his hand, the arrow went like a shooting star and hit the straw man target's eyebrow.

After being hit by an arrow, Wu Ji put away his bow and arrow, turned around and said to Wu Tai unhurriedly: "Don't worry, grandfather, the Queen Mother has always treated our Wu family well, and we still have to give her face. I'm sure about her family banquet." will participate."

Hearing what Wu Ji said, Wu Tai was even more annoyed: "I know I'm going to attend the Empress Dowager's family banquet, so hurry up and change into clean clothes and prepare to go out into the palace. What kind of bow and arrow are you playing here?"

Wu Ji looked down at the armor on his body, and said nonchalantly, "I, Wu Ji, am the champion general personally appointed by the emperor. Naturally, I want to show off in military uniform. How can I imitate those frail scholars?"

"It's just nonsense, do you know that Princess Yongle will also attend tonight's family banquet, what will she think of you with your outfit!" Wu Tai was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, not realizing that he was not Be careful of slipping your mouth.

As soon as he heard about Princess Yongle, Wu Ji immediately understood everything. He wondered how he could invite one of his nephews to the queen mother's family banquet. Face, the queen mother felt that she had a bright face and invited him to the family banquet.

After all, it turned out that it was a blind date banquet arranged for him and the three princesses.

Although he also knows that the Wu family hopes that he can marry Princess Yongle as his wife and become the emperor's son-in-law, but in his opinion, when a man is alive, he should take it as his duty to make contributions and make a name for himself. Obsessed with love for children.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he was very against this marriage, but helplessly, the emperor had promised to marry the Wu family in front of many people at Anximen, but he did not dare to disobey the order.

However, Zongzheng Temple only sent someone to ask for his birth date, but the palace did not send anyone to announce the marriage for a long time. He thought that the matter would be nothing, and he was still secretly happy, but he did not expect that the Queen Mother would come here With one hand, arrange a blind date banquet for her and the three princesses.

The more Wu Ji thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he said angrily, "If that's the case, then I just don't go, so as not to embarrass the Wu family by entering the palace dressed like this."

"You rebellious grandson! You're going to piss your grandfather off!" Wu Tai felt a pain in his chest, so he grabbed his chest with one hand, and pointed at Wu Ji with the other trembling. His face was distorted by the pain, and he was caught Almost speechless.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Wu Ji was also very frightened, he hurriedly stepped forward to support his grandfather, and said repeatedly: "Grandfather, you are not in good health, so don't get angry anymore, I'll just go."

Although Wu Ji's attitude had softened, Wu Tai's face was still gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal all the servants to retreat.

Wu Ji saw that his grandfather suddenly retreated, he couldn't help but be puzzled and asked, "Grandfather, what are you?"

Wu Tai took a deep breath, then fixed his eyes on Wu Ji, and asked coldly: "Now there are only us, grandpa and grandson, tell your grandfather the truth, are you unwilling to marry the princess?" .”

"Yes!" Wu Ji didn't hesitate or deny, just nodded heavily.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Wu Tai did not get angry, but looked at Wu Ji and asked in a colder tone: "Give me a reason for this grandfather."

Wu Ji looked at his grandfather, gritted his teeth, and said bravely, "Grandfather, because I want to rectify the name of the Wu family!"

"Rectify the name of the Wu family?" Wu Tai never expected that this sentence would come out of his grandson's mouth, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Wu Ji nodded and continued: "Actually, I have always been able to see that although other people respect our Wu family on the surface, they actually look down on our Wu family from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that she has been honored by the Empress Dowager and has not made any contribution to the imperial court, so she doesn't deserve such favor and preferential treatment at all."

"Because of this, I practice martial arts hard, study the art of war, and study the Dihu people thoroughly, so that one day I can go deep into Mobei, sweep Dihu, and prove to the world that our Wu family is not a mediocre foreign relative. I, Wu Ji You can also use your own ability to open up territory for Daning and make contributions."

"Now that I have won a great victory in my first attack on Mobei, no one in the world dares to underestimate our Wu family and Wu Ji, but if I marry a princess, how many people in the world will remember that I am a champion general, they will only remember me I am the son-in-law of a certain princess, and I am the son-in-law of the son-in-law. No matter how great my achievements are, people in the world will think that I got the opportunity because I am a son-in-law...Grandfather, I really don’t want people in the world to look down on us anymore The Wu family, look down on me, Wu Ji."

Wu Tai looked at the grandson in front of him, and felt that he was so strange for the first time.

Since the death of his son, he vowed that he must keep Wu Ji, the last only seedling, so he has taken good care of Wu Ji since he was a child. The door lintel, I just hope that he can continue the incense for the Wu family.

But he never thought about it, he has been ignoring Wu Ji's own feelings, what he gave was not the life his grandson wanted, he had great ambitions, he only wanted to rectify the name of the Wu family, and he didn't want the world to look down on their Wu family.

For a moment, Wu Tai felt a little ashamed in his heart, but then he let out a long sigh. Although his grandson's ambition is great and his spirit is commendable, he is still younger after all, and some things are still superficial. As a grandfather Although he is useless in his life, he still needs to be mentioned.

"Now everyone can see that the emperor thinks highly of you, and he will definitely entrust you with important tasks in the future." At this moment, Wu Tai's eyes became extremely sharp, looking straight at his grandson, and said in a deep voice, "But you have I never thought, if the queen mother is gone by then, will the emperor still trust you so much and be willing to transfer the elite to you and let you attack Mobei."

Seeing that Wu Ji was a little unconvinced and wanted to continue to refute, Wu Tai continued: "Even if the emperor still trusts you, you led the elite to sweep across Mobei, wiped out Dihu, and made great achievements... But you should I’ve heard a word called the master of high merit, once the emperor has suspicions about you, not only will your own life be lost, but our Wu family may also be implicated.”

Wu Ji was speechless for a moment. Although he didn't believe that the emperor was such a person who crossed rivers and demolished bridges, the possibility existed. After all, he had also read the biographies of many famous generals, and he knew that since ancient times, masters with great achievements Few of them ended well.

Seeing his grandson's expression moved, Wu Tai continued to persuasion: "Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. As a general, you should be more cautious when holding a heavy soldier. If you want to always gain the trust and reuse of the emperor, the best way Even if you marry the princess, only by becoming a family with the emperor can your favor last forever."

Speaking of this, Wu Tai patted Wu Ji on the shoulder heavily, and said earnestly: "Besides, as long as your achievements are dazzling enough, no matter whether you are a son-in-law or not, Wu Ji will not be underestimated because of this!"

Wu Ji was still frowning and thinking about his grandfather's words, but a servant came to report in a hurry, saying that Qi Wang Xiao Jie's carriage had stopped at the gate of Wu Mansion, inviting Wu Ji to ride into the palace together.

Hearing that Xiao Jie came to invite him personally, Wu Tai didn't care about other things, and immediately urged Wu Ji to go to the gate and follow Xiao Jie to the Longevity Palace.

Seeing Xiao Jie's carriage all the way, Wu Tai let out a long sigh of relief.

But soon, he seemed to remember something, and his face collapsed in an instant.

This unlucky boy really wore a suit of armor and entered the palace for a banquet.

I wonder if Princess Yongle will marry him when she sees his attire.
