"Your Majesty is right." Xue Yao said calmly, "It's just that there are pros and cons to everything. Your Majesty's favor to Your Majesty and Your Highness brings not only glory, but also the attention of other concubines who have fallen out of favor and even the Empress. What does your Majesty think?"

Concubine Xi frowned slightly: "That's why I have to be cautious and keep this favor, otherwise those fires of jealousy and hatred will be enough to burn us mother and son to death."

Xue Yao said: "The fire of jealousy is based on Your Majesty's favoritism towards the empress. If this favoritism gradually disappears, the fire will be extinguished by itself. You are a generous person, and you have never harmed others. Even in the harem There is no real enemy. Although the harem has a sinister heart, if you really want to frame you, there must be a huge risk. No one will bet their lives against a concubine who has fallen out of favor. Worrying about life."

Concubine Xi was stunned, silent for a while, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, she said in a low voice: "People say my son is a child prodigy, but today I have seen a real child prodigy! You figured out these words yourself Yes, or someone else taught you?"

"Niang Niang praises..." Xue Yao was a little ashamed.

Concubine Xi's son is a real child prodigy, and Xue Yao is barely a schoolmaster.

He has lived for more than 20 years in his previous life. He is handsome and has excellent grades. He also has a lot of sports. perception.

Although Concubine Xi was shocked by Xue Yao's genius, she still didn't agree with his thoughts, and said instead: "The old seven will only turn four in two months, and there will be a lot of time in the future. Even if I want to Retiring, I should also earn some money for Lao Qi while I am still young. If I am lucky enough to survive until he reaches adulthood, I can obtain a rich fiefdom for him, even if I am asked to stay in the cold palace in the future, I can handle it calmly."

Xue Yao was startled by her words.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Xi, who is only 19 years old, has already planned her future.

The future of her and the Seventh Prince is exactly the same as her expectation at this moment.

It wasn't until the emperor passed away unexpectedly that Concubine Xi completely lost her power.

And her son King Ning's fief is indeed the most affluent county in Daqi.

But what's the use of this?

After the new emperor ascended the throne, military power, fiefdoms, and even princes were all withdrawn as they said.

Firstly, Concubine Xi did not expect the emperor to die so early.

Secondly, at this time, everyone thought that the eldest prince must be the one who ascended the throne. The eldest prince is a real gentleman, and it is impossible for him to have trouble with his father's favorite concubine during his lifetime.

If Xue Yao didn't know the fate of the characters in the future, he would definitely think the same as Concubine Xi.

How could it be possible to think of retreating bravely when you are in full bloom?Then she and her son will be mermaids for the rest of their lives.

Concubine Xi is not stupid, but she has never read the original novel and does not have the perspective of God.

"Your Majesty sees farther than I do." Xue Yao first affirmed Concubine Xi's thoughts.

If you want to persuade someone, you must first affirm the other party's point of view, and then help him make up for the omissions in the point of view instead of completely refuting it. This will make it easier for the other party to accept your point of view.

Achieving your own goals is the most important thing, and there is no need to show that you are wiser than the other party.

"If I hadn't learned the gossip, I wouldn't have given you such weird suggestions rashly." Xue Yao said the key point directly: "The emperor has plans to go on a tour in the near future, and the destination is Bashu. , His Majesty intends to requisition the common people, build Shu roads together, and build a palace in Shu.”

"Where did this gossip come from?" Concubine Xi didn't quite believe it: "Parades are not government affairs. If Your Majesty is really interested, we concubines should have heard the news first."

"Forgive me for not being able to tell you about the source of the news. I have two high-ranking second-rank officials from the Xue family. Naturally, there are many sources of news. The real purpose of the emperor's tour this time is to frighten the Pingyi King of the Shu region, and to cultivate The purpose of the official way is not to swim in the mountains and rivers, but to send troops without hindrance!"

Concubine Xi was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, her face suddenly changed.

She looked at Xue Yao blankly: "If the emperor really has such thoughts, how can our concubine dispel his idea of ​​going on tour this time?"

Xue Yao's eyes lit up, and he immediately returned: "I don't ask your majesty to dispel your majesty's thoughts, but I only hope that your majesty will refuse to accompany you on a tour, so that your majesty will not take you to visit the mountains and rivers as an excuse to visit Shu Road and build a palace."

"Why?" Concubine Xi became more and more confused as she thought about it, "Are you afraid that King Pingyi will anger me?"

"Prince Pingyi understands the emperor's meaning better than anyone else, and you will no longer be in danger with him." Xue Yao looked at Concubine Xi with compassion: "How difficult and dangerous the road to Shu is. Your mother came from a foreign country. I'm afraid I don't know. But maybe you have heard of Jianmen Pass?

Back then, Jiang Wei was here where one man guarded the gate and ten thousand men could not open it. It was a road that was difficult to transport even grain and grass. The people were required to transport building materials step by step and dig mountains along the cliffs. Within a few years, it would definitely arouse public outrage!

The common people don't know the real purpose of the emperor's road to Shu, they only think that it is to take you to see the land of Shu, hurt your wealth and labor the people, and these people's grievances will probably be covered on your head. "

The blood on Concubine Xi's face was instantly gone, and it really made sense.

If the Tao of Shu is really as difficult to cultivate as Xue Yao said, she is afraid that she will become a generation of evil princesses in the history books, who will be included in the same book as Daji and Baosi!

There was silence in the inner hall.

Seeing Concubine Xi's pale face, Xue Yao didn't say anything to comfort her.

She must be made aware of the seriousness of the matter.

After a long while, Concubine Xi looked at Xue Yao melancholy, and sighed: "Your eyes really look farther than mine, a lady in the palace. I didn't expect this level of danger at all."

"Your Majesty's award, I'm just hearsay, not my own guess."

In fact, it is the future clearly written in the novel.

How many people can strategize and win thousands of miles?

There are too many variables in the future. If you don't make it to that step, you will never know what will happen.

Concubine Xi thought for a moment, then said calmly: "It's almost time, let's go to the school, A Yao, I'll leave it to you, Seventh. I have to think about the parade, I'm afraid I may not be able to escape it."

Before Xue Yao left, he reminded in a low voice: "Although you shouldn't meddle in the private affairs of the concubine's courtyard, I still want to ask the concubine to beware of the servants around her."

Concubine Xi said, "I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry."

When Xue Yao went to the dormitory to pick up the seventh prince to go to school, he happened to bump into Yi Qiu speaking ill of him to His Highness.

"If he wants to treat Master sincerely, he wouldn't take the lead in throwing down Master's favorite wooden horse!"

While feeding jujube soup, Yiqiu brainwashed the Seventh Prince: "My servant picked a whole family of pure-hearted children for Your Highness, who are older than Xue Yao, have read more poetry and books than Xue Yao, and are taller and taller than Xue Yao. I can protect Your Highness."

Xue Yao rolled his eyes when he heard it outside the door.

Can the third prince be stopped by an older companion?

Besides Xue Yao, who would dare to fight against Concubine Tong?

In the dormitory, even the Seventh Prince couldn't listen any longer, and argued loudly angrily: "Bi Yaoyao... Bi Yaoyao..."

Xue Yao reminded secretly in his heart: "Is there anyone who is more loyal than Yaoyao!"

The seventh prince's tacit understanding value was 0, and he argued loudly: "Is Bi Yaoyao stupid!"

Silly Yaoyao: "..."

This point of rebuttal is really tricky, Yiqiu can't deny it now, right?

It's better to have a fate with this little fat boy.

Don't even want to drink Wangzai!

For several days in a row, the third prince did not come to the school to pick trouble.

Both the fifth prince and the sixth prince thought that the third brother was scared by the old seven, so they regarded the old seven as a hero and praised him for his bravery and invincibility every day.

He exaggerated this little fat cub so much that he asked for double milk every day!

While practicing calligraphy, Xue Yao was startled by a big bug that suddenly flew onto the back of his hand, and threw away the brush.

The Seventh Prince who was sitting at the side squinted and saw the worm in Yaoyao's hand. A trace of contempt appeared on Xiao Baozi's face, and then he purred angrily at the worm!

The bug flew away.

"Hmph." The brave Seventh Prince made another meritorious service, waiting for the praise from far away with his little bun's face raised.

Xue Yao: "..."

The bugs just flew away by chance, and you didn't scare them away!

However, the Seventh Prince didn't think so, and he didn't get the praise for a long time. He looked at Sha Yaoyao with fierce eyes, and shook his little fat leg eagerly.

"Your Highness is amazing." Xue Yao compromised shamefully.

The Seventh Prince defeated the evil again, puffed out his chest, and his fat belly.

Because the little master "became famous in one battle", the seventh prince's servants also have more face, and they would brag about it when feeding them in private.

They said: "Our Seventh Highness has both the air of a prince and the strength of a famous general. In the future, we may be able to lead troops to fight for the emperor and wipe out the Japanese pirates!"

Xue Yao couldn't help laughing.

The ambitions of these court ladies still can't keep up with King Ning's ability. Does this cub of Long Aotian still need to fight for the emperor when he grows up?

People want to be emperors themselves!

However, the maids misunderstood the meaning of Xue Yao's snickering, thinking that he looked down on the Seventh Prince, and all of them were furious on behalf of the Seventh Prince, eager to show their loyalty with pale faces, and asked Xue Yao, "What are you laughing at?"

Xue Yao still wanted to laugh: When the Seventh Prince was being bullied by the Third Prince, why didn't you guys show up?

Seeing that he was a big kid with a mocking expression, the maids became even more ashamed and annoyed. They turned around and complained to the Seventh Prince, saying that Xue Yao looked down on their master!

The seventh prince, who was full, was a little sleepy, and looked up at Xue Yao expressionlessly.

Xue Yao: "..."

Seeing that His Highness looked unhappy, the maids all waited to see Xue Yao being murdered.

Let him poke his tail up to the sky when he is in the limelight in front of His Highness and Empress!

I'm going to be murdered by His Highness now!

The Seventh Prince jumped off the small bench, walked up to Xue Yao with a heavy face, and stared at him majestically.

Xue Yao thought that the little chubby boy was really provoked, and just about to explain, the Seventh Prince suddenly buried the little bun's face under his arm, and murmured, "Is Your Highness sleepy?"

Xue Yao: "..."

It turned out that I was sleepy, so I asked him to sleep.

The maid's mouth was almost crooked. When Xue Yao didn't come, His Highness wanted to sleep, and always picked the closest court lady to beg for a hug. Now all the favors are gone, and it's all given to Xue Yao!

Xue Yao was very disturbed by the gazes of the court ladies. Looking at the little meat ball in his arms, he always felt that he had four big characters written all over his body...

These days, Concubine Xi has been praying, hoping that the rumors that Xue Yao said are all rumors.

Even if it is true, the emperor should invite the queen to accompany him on the parade, it is impossible to bring her alone, right?

However, what should come still came.

This day, the emperor came to her palace to eat with a smile on his face, and asked, "Aifei, have you ever heard about the scenery of Bashu?"

Concubine Xi's face turned pale.
