Xia Zhenqi: "I intend to let the eldest brother inherit the throne, and I have issued a secret decree. What do you think?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Nothing."

Xia Zhenqi: "How do you mean?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "First, he sent Deadpool to kill me. I don't have any deep hatred against him, so why did he do this? I now feel more and more that the drought is not a punishment from heaven. Second, he gave me a slap in the face and then gave me a sweet date. He first sent someone to kill me and then pretended to be a good person to send me things. Third, I don't know if your eldest son knows that you want him to inherit the throne. If he knows, he still sent someone to kill me, which means that the drought is inseparable from him. If he doesn't know, it proves that he wants to use this to get to the throne. Drought is not a trivial matter. If he doesn't have the common people in his heart, he can't be a good emperor."

Xia Zhenqi: "Your opinion is reasonable, but have you ever thought that everything he did was in line with the character of an emperor? Being kind, wise, and caring about the world can make a good emperor, but he will never be able to do it for a long time. For example, the second son, he must be a wise ruler, but he can't keep the country. The third son, his family can't be the mother of the country. The fourth son is too mediocre. The fifth son just got married and has a child's mentality. The sixth son has an even more childish mentality."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I think differently from you. If I were to choose, who has the greatest ability? This ability does not mean who has a higher realm, but who has the ability to make the country develop better, such as ensuring that the people can have enough food and live and work in peace and contentment, so that the country can prosper. Also, who can get more support from brothers and sisters. A country cannot be managed by one person. It needs talents from many aspects. Having interests can indeed make people work together. In addition to interests, if there is also brotherhood, it is not only about working together, but also working together. In addition, it is about having schemes and means. After all, people only have time to plot and scheme when they are full. If they can't even eat, who has time to do anything else?"

Xia Zhenqi: "What you said does make sense. If you were a man, I believe you would be the best heir."

Liu Jiaojiao: "You may not believe me if I tell you this, but if I tell my father that I am willing to succeed the throne, he will immediately issue an imperial edict to announce it to the world, and he will take my mother out of the palace to travel the next day."

Xia Zhenqi: "Emperor Liu has such a broad mind, I can't compare to him."

Liu Jiaojiao: "My father is careless, that's my father's business. I don't want to do that hard job. Let me tell you something that may upset you. What's the difference between being an emperor and being in prison? I get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs every day. I can't rest for two days in a year. I'm busy with this and that every day. When I get irritable, my hair falls out in clumps. I also have to guard against those who want to usurp the throne, check the power of the court, and keep the family line going. I can't stand that."

Xia Zhenqi: "Princess Yongkang is suddenly convinced."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Don't flatter me. Since I sent you back, I can't come back for nothing. Please let me..."

The eunuch's voice came from outside the door, and the face came.

Emperor Xia let the eunuch in and then closed the door.

Emperor Xia: "Princess Yongkang has worked hard, please enjoy your meal."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I won't be polite with you anymore. I'm really hungry. Next time you leave the palace, I'll arrange for the eunuch to wait for you at the door."

Emperor Xia smiled and said, "You are somewhat similar to Biyuan."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Second Princess?"

Emperor Xia: "Yes."

Liu Jiaojiao blew on the noodles and started eating.

Liu Jiaojiao finished the noodles quickly and drank the soup.

Liu Jiaojiao: "It's delicious. The imperial chef's cooking skills are different. They're much better than those in Yipinlou."

Xia Zhenqi: "Do you want to live in the palace?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "No, it's not convenient. It's hard to leave the palace. Well, let me go to your stable to play for a while."

Xia Zhenqi: "What?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "See if you have any good horses here. I haven't ridden a horse for a long time. I want to ride a horse when I go to Jing'an Temple in a few days, so I want to practice it in advance."

Xia Zhenqi: "Okay, I'll let Xiao Yunzi take you there later. Or I'll send a few more guards to follow you in case you get assassinated again."

Liu Jiaojiao: "It doesn't matter. Oh, I forgot to mention it. Do you know what realm those six people are in?"

Xia Zhenqi: “Dan Jie Stage.”

Liu Jiaojiao: "It's enough for you to know. Anyway, if Deadpool comes again, I won't leave anyone alive. If your eldest son has too many cultivation resources and has nowhere to use them, I don't mind killing him so that he has no one to use."

Xia Zhenqi: "The emperor has failed once, he won't fail again, don't worry."

Liu Jiaojiao: "By the way, I felt that your eldest son's eyes looked at Liu Xing strangely yesterday. I'm not sure if your son recognizes Liu Xing. If he has an impression of Liu Xing, he should have tested Liu Xing when he went to deliver the gift today. You can ask Liu Xing yourself later."

Xia Zhenqi: "Okay, I understand."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, find someone to take me to the stable to play for a while, and then find someone to send me out of the palace. If there is anything, I will let Liuxing find you."

Xia Zhenqi: "Okay, Xiao Yunzi."

The eunuch came in upon hearing the noise.

Xiao Yunzi: "Your Majesty."

Xia Zhenqi: "Take Princess Yongkang to Shangsi Garden. She can do whatever she wants. We will then arrange for a sedan chair to take Princess Yongkang out of the palace."

Xiao Yunzi: "As ordered, Princess Yongkang, please."

Liu Jiaojiao bowed to Xia Zhenqi and left with Xiao Yunzi.

Liu Jiaojiao quickly arrived at the stable.

Xia Zhenqi's stable was very large, it was an entire palace compound, with horse sheds, horse farms, and granaries. There were only a few houses right at the entrance, where the horse supervisor, who was the person in charge of the horses, lived. He also had subordinates who were responsible for taking care of the horses.

Xiao Yunzi knocked on the door and someone soon opened it.

Xiao Yunzi explained her purpose and the person who opened the door immediately went to invite the horse supervisor.

When the horse supervisor arrived, Xiao Yunzi repeated Emperor Xia's words to him, and the horse supervisor bowed to Liu Jiaojiao.

Liu Jiaojiao: "No need to be polite."

Horse Supervisor: "Princess Yongkang, please."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Thank you, Master Xiao Yunzi."

Xiao Yunzi: "Princess, you are embarrassing me."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Eunuch, please walk slowly. I will go ahead."

Xiao Yunzi: "Farewell, Princess Yongkang."

Liu Jiaojiao followed the horse supervisor into Shangsiyuan.

Horse Supervisor: "Where do you want to go, Princess?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Let's go to the stable. I want to see what kind of horses are there."

Horse Supervisor: "Princess, please come this way."

The stable supervisor took Liu Jiaojiao to the stable.

Liu Jiaojiao: "If I want to ride a horse around the yard, is that okay?"

The Horse Supervisor: "No problem. Has the princess ever ridden a horse?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "I haven't ridden for several years, so I'm a little rusty. I'm going to Jing'an Temple in a few days, and I want to ride a horse, so I came here in advance to get familiar with it."

Horse Supervisor: "Let me explain to the princess how these horses are generally arranged."

Liu Jiaojiao nodded, and the horse supervisor took Liu Jiaojiao with him while introducing them.

Liu Jiaojiao learned about the grades of the horses in the stable and knew which horse to ride according to your status. Liu Jiaojiao walked towards a red horse.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Does it have a specific person who rides it?"

The Horse Supervisor said, "No, these are for the princes and princesses. The horses that your highnesses like are kept elsewhere."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, feed it something and I'll take it out for a walk."

The Horse Supervisor: "Okay, Princess, please wait a moment."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Tongzi, can I use the ability I gained to communicate with animals?"

System: "Okay."

Liu Jiaojiao touched the horse's head and thought to herself, "Little Ma Ma, how old are you?"

Horse: “Ya.”

Liu Jiaojiao: "Wow, he's three years old now, he's an adult now, so cute."

The horse neighed and rubbed Liu Jiaojiao's hand.

Liu Jiaojiao: "My dear, do you want to eat peaches? I got them from the emperor, they are very sweet."

Ma: "The emperor's tribute fruit? I dare not eat it."

Liu Jiaojiao: "What I took is mine, just tell me if you can eat it."

Horse: "You can have some, slurp."

The horse stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, looking very expectant.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and a peach appeared in her hand.

Liu Jiaojiao handed it to the horse and said, "Eat slowly, there is a core inside, you have to spit it out~"

The horse took a bite happily.

Ma: "So sweet and delicious."

The stablemaster came over with some alfalfa.

Horse Supervisor: "Princess, where did the peach come from?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "I asked Emperor Xia for it this afternoon. He let me take away all the food I didn't finish."

The horse supervisor said: "Princess, you can't use this. This is a tribute fruit given by the emperor."

The stablemaster put alfalfa in the horse trough.

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and a peach and a bunch of grapes appeared in her hand.

Liu Jiaojiao stuffed it into Ma Jian's hand and said, "If you give it to me, it's mine. Take it and eat it."

Horse Supervisor: "I dare not."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Why are you so afraid? Take it and eat it quickly. If anyone sees it, just say I gave it to you."

Horse Supervisor: "Thank you, Princess."

The horse supervisor went out again with peaches and grapes.

Ma: "I want to eat that Gongguo too."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Grapes? You can't eat them. There are seeds inside. You won't spit out the seeds. I'll give you peeled ones next time, okay?"

Ma: "Okay, it's a deal."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Can you let me ride a few laps for a while? I'm telling you, I've never ridden a horse before. Can you help me?"

Ma: "No problem, I'm stable."

Liu Jiaojiao waited until the horse finished eating the alfalfa, took the saddle beside her, put it on the horse under the horse's guidance, and then led the horse out.

When the horse supervisor saw Liu Jiaojiao coming out leading the horse, he hurriedly stuffed the remaining grapes into his mouth and pointed at a few people next to him. Everyone nodded quickly and the horse supervisor walked out quickly.

Horse Supervisor: "Princess Yongkang."

Liu Jiaojiao: "You keep busy, we'll just take a stroll and ride a couple of laps."

The horse supervisor bowed and went back to the room nearby.

Liu Jiaojiao took the horse for a stroll, then found a corner and followed the instructions on how to get on a horse that she had read before. She stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse.

Liu Jiaojiao tried a few postures first, and after making sure that she could master the balance and that her core and leg strength were sufficient, she squeezed the horse's belly and the horse started moving.

The horse took Liu Jiaojiao for a stroll. Liu Jiaojiao squeezed the horse's belly and the horse started running, gradually from slow to fast. Liu Jiaojiao adapted very well.

After running a few laps, Liu Jiaojiao stopped the horse at the corner and got off.

Liu Jiaojiao touched the horse's head and said, "Thank you."

The horse neighed and rubbed Liu Jiaojiao's hand.

Liu Jiaojiao looked around and made sure that there was no one around. With a thought, a carrot appeared in her hand.

Liu Jiaojiao feeds the horse.

Liu Jiaojiao wasn’t sure if there were carrots in this era, so she could only feed them quietly.

System: "Daxia has carrots, no need to feed them secretly."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Where's the apple?"

System: "Yes, but the fruits are small, sour, and astringent. They are all wild apples. No one eats them, and no one cultivates them."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Please prepare for me a list of crops that have not been developed here."

System: "Okay."

Liu Jiaojiao waited until the horse finished eating the carrots, then led the horse back to the stable. The stable manager was already waiting at the door.

The horse supervisor took the horse.

Horse Supervisor: "Is Princess Yongkang used to it?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "Yeah, it's good, the horse is also very well behaved."

Horse Supervisor: "Are you going to leave the palace now? The sedan chair is waiting at the door."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, I'll leave then. This is for you."

Liu Jiaojiao's mind moved, and six apples appeared in her hand.

Horse Supervisor: "Princess, this is unacceptable."

Liu Jiaojiao: "This is what my Great Liu Country cultivated. Great Xia Country doesn't have it. Take it and try it."

Horse Supervisor: "Thank you so much, Princess Yongkang. What is this?"

Liu Jiaojiao: "The apples are different from the wild apples in Daxia. They are sweet and sour, and not astringent."

Horse Supervisor: "Thank you, Princess Yongkang."

Liu Jiaojiao nodded slightly and walked towards the entrance of Shangsiyuan.

Liu Jiaojiao got on the sedan chair.

Horse Supervisor: "Farewell, Princess Yongkang."

Liu Jiaojiao left the palace and went straight back to the inn.

As Liu Jiaojiao entered the room, Meteor came knocking on the door.

Liu Jiaojiao: "Come in."

Meteor bowed and walked in.

Meteor: "Princess, His Majesty sent someone to say that the sacrificial supplies are ready, and he asked you about the sacrificial venue and time."

Liu Jiaojiao: "It is still where the sacrifice was held. As for the time, let me calculate it."

Liu Jiaojiao pretended to calculate and said, "Starting at noon tomorrow, we should arrive fifteen minutes earlier. I need to get ready. You can call me when it's time to leave tomorrow."

Liu Xing nodded and continued, "Princess, the eldest prince sent someone to deliver some useful items."

Liu Jiaojiao: "You can use it, you don't have to give it to me. If you give me clothes or something, you won't be able to wear them. Did the eldest prince ask you anything?"

Liu Xing: "I did ask. The eldest prince asked me when I came from Daliu Kingdom and why I didn't return with the ceremonial procession."

Liu Jiaojiao: "What did you say?"

Meteor: “Nothing.”

Liu Jiaojiao: "Okay, you can pretend you didn't hear me, but I'm not going to take you to Jing'an Temple. Tell that person that I want to go to their library to see what books they have. I'm afraid you'll turn around and yell at the door, which would be embarrassing."

Meteor nodded.

Liu Jiaojiao: "It's okay, I want to take a shower, just tell the waiter to get some water, I'll do it myself."

Soon, the guy brought the bath water, and Liu Jiaojiao thought while taking a bath.

In fact, Liu Jiaojiao did not insist on the Second Prince succeeding to the throne. It was just that the Second Prince was too similar to an emperor in the history of Liu Jiaojiao's time and space who was known for his benevolence. Liu Jiaojiao felt sympathy for him. After all, Liu Jiaojiao was sure that as long as the Second Prince succeeded to the throne, he would never think of invading the Great Liu Kingdom, while the Great Prince would definitely have this idea and put it into action. Liu Jiaojiao felt that since the system gave her the identity of the Great Liu Kingdom's princess, she must stand on the side of the Great Liu Kingdom when doing things. On the premise of not infringing on the interests of the Great Liu Kingdom, Liu Jiaojiao could help the Great Xia Kingdom.

After taking a bath, Liu Jiaojiao used her peeping skill to take a look at the Second Prince’s study.

Sure enough, the wood carving was lying on the table.

Liu Jiaojiao sighed and said, "They look so similar, but there is no Lord Bao in Daxia. I hope there will be one in the future."

Liu Jiaojiao teleported to the second prince's study, lifted up the wooden sculpture, took the key and address on the table, and teleported back.

Liu Jiaojiao confirmed the location of the house on the small map and then fell asleep.

Silent all night.

When Liu Jiaojiao just woke up, she turned on the peeping skill and took another look at the second prince's study. The wood carving disappeared and the second prince was reading.
