"Mrs. Dou is a descendant of a military family, so her understanding of military tactics is extraordinary."

Dongfang Hongye heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and he said proudly:

"I am the daughter of a general! I have followed my father and brothers since I was young and have been deeply influenced by them. It is natural for me to be able to use these tactics with ease."

Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian smiled at each other after hearing this. Gu Qinlan even glanced at Zheng Dinglian and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that Prince Duan would be so good at talking."

Zheng Dinglian looked at Gu Qinlan, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "The princess expects me to do my best."

Behind them, Zheng Shuyuan was sitting there, watching the two of them whispering. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes helplessly, then gently covered Zheng Huiyi's eyes.

Zheng Huiyi innocently pushed Zheng Shuyuan's hand away, tilted her head, and asked innocently:

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

"This is not something children should watch."

Zheng Huiyi blinked her big curious eyes and her gaze fell on the scene of Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian whispering intimately.

Then her eyes lit up, and she held Zheng Shuyuan's hand tightly and said seriously: "Aunt, this is not inappropriate for children, but a deep love."

After a short pause, Zheng Huiyi seriously held her chubby face with her hands and asked Zheng Shuyuan expectantly:

"Aunt, when do you think I can be like my sister? It would be best if Daddy and Mommy gave me a little sister. After all, there are already two brothers in the family, and I'm the only girl."

She added naively, "Oh, of course. It would be even more perfect if I had another brother. I would no longer be the youngest in the family, with both a boy and a girl. I could then command my brother to help me with things."

Zheng Huiyi talked incessantly with excitement, and Zheng Shuyuan couldn't help but twitch her lips as she listened to her innocent longings.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of some naughty idea, a mischievous light flashed in Zheng Shuyuan's eyes, and she said with a grim smile:

"Just let them keep having children! If you have more, I'll kick all three of you out of the house next time!"

"Hehe, by then, you three will be out there in the wind and rain, starving. That will be too pitiful!"

Before she finished her words, Zheng Shuyuan suddenly screamed and felt a pain in her wrist. She immediately retracted her hand and glared at Zheng Huiyi angrily.

Zheng Huiyi showed her two rows of white teeth, made a face at Zheng Shuyuan, and said fiercely in a childish voice:

"Aunt, you are talking nonsense! Huiyi is angry!"

"I'm talking nonsense? I..."

Zheng Shuyuan wanted to get angry, but she glanced guiltily at Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan in front of her, shrank her neck, and defended herself in a low voice.

Zheng Huiyi's mouth was tight and her teeth were clattering. She suddenly interrupted Zheng Shuyuan's words, her round face puffed up, and she shouted angrily:

"Humph! How could mother abandon Huiyi and my brothers! Even if we have new brothers and sisters, mother's love for us will not change in the slightest! Little aunt, you are judging others by your own standards!"

Zheng Shuyuan didn't expect that her niece would point her finger at her and ridicule her as a mean person. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then she couldn't help but retort:

"You are so confident even before it happens?"

"Of course! With my mother's broad mind and foresight, if I were not a girl, it would not be difficult for me to be a marquis."

When Zheng Huiyi said this, she raised her little head high, her face full of seriousness and determination.

After hearing this, Zheng Shuyuan subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, she found that she could not find any room for refutation.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Gu Qinlan was indeed completely different from many women she knew!

Zheng Shuyuan couldn't help but gently rubbed Zheng Huiyi's slightly frizzy little head and said softly:

"Okay, okay! Auntie was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Zheng Huiyi made a face at Zheng Shuyuan, with a hint of cunning in her childish voice:

"A joke is only a joke if it makes people laugh. Aunt, you are about the same age as my mother, but Huiyi feels that..."

She stretched out her chubby little finger in dissatisfaction, poked her temple, shook her head gently and sighed:

"Huiyi feels that your wisdom and knowledge are far behind my mother's! Aunt, there is no end to learning, and you still have a long way to go."

The corner of Zheng Shuyuan's mouth twitched slightly. She was once again despised by this little kid!

Gu Qinlan did not hear the argument between Zheng Shuyuan and Zheng Huiyi, but Zheng Dinglian, as a warrior, heard every word clearly.

He couldn't help but look at Gu Qinlan's profile. Beneath that gentle and docile appearance, there was a tenacious and unyielding heart. Her uniqueness was indeed something that no other woman in the world could match.

The fact that she was able to win Zheng Huiyi's wholehearted trust and protection in such a short period of time shows her unparalleled personal charm.

Zheng Dinglian suppressed the smile in his eyes, turned around and whispered to Lou Wei beside him:

"Go tell the second young lady that she has spoken rudely to the princess and will have her salary for half a year deducted. In addition, she will be punished to copy the Zhou Li ten times after returning home today."

After hearing this, Lou Wei immediately nodded in agreement and went to pass on the message with a gloating smile.

When Zheng Shuyuan heard Lou Wei's message, it was like a bolt from the blue!

It would be fine if she was punished by copying books, but fining her monthly salary was too much!

Zheng Shuyuan wanted to get angry, but she didn't dare to do anything rash.

Although Zheng Dinglian was quite indulgent towards her on weekdays, she knew her brother's temper well.

Before he got angry, she could do whatever she wanted, but once Zheng Dinglian made a decision, no matter how sadly she cried, she would be powerless to change the situation. Zheng Dinglian might even offer to help her.

Zheng Shuyuan could only lower her head and sigh. It seemed that she couldn't even talk about Gu Qinlan behind her back.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded:

"The Emperor has arrived~"

"Empress Yao has arrived~"

In an instant, a group of guards wearing ink-colored armor and with long swords hanging from their waists, with a fierce momentum, ran out from the crowd in an orderly manner!

They divided into two rows, blocking the students of the Imperial College behind them, leaving a wide passage in the middle.

A group of eunuchs hurried forward and quickly rolled out a red carpet in the middle of the road.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor in dragon robe and Concubine Yao in crimson palace dress came hand in hand, walked along the red carpet straight to the dragon throne at the top, and sat down solemnly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"May the Imperial Concubine Yao be blessed with good health and happiness."

The emperor smiled and waved his hand gently, and his loud voice echoed throughout the hall: "Get up."

After everyone expressed their gratitude in unison, they slowly stood up.

At this moment, the students of the Imperial College were extremely excited, unable to suppress the surging emotions in their hearts. Their eyes were filled with reverence as they all looked at the emperor who was high above them.

That person is the monarch they will be loyal to in the future!

The emperor obviously felt everyone's gaze, and the smile on his face became more intense. Then his eyes fell gently on Sun Jijiu and waved cordially.

Sun Jijiu immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly to the emperor, and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty."
