The Chi family's house was quiet. Since Chi Ying won the top scorer, the long house seemed to have calmed down and became much more low-key.

Even the old lady of the Chi family closed the door and worshiped Buddha. During this period, the small plum garden was as peaceful as a paradise.

Chi Shi got off the carriage and still entered and exited through the corner gate.

As soon as I entered the small yard, I saw Chi Ying standing under the plum tree. The flowers on the tree had already fallen, and the green leaves had grown old and would soon bear fruit.

I don’t like flowers in the pond, but I like to eat plums, which are sweet and sour.

"It's so late, why haven't my brother been sleeping yet? Don't you have to go to the Ministry of War tomorrow?"

Chi Ying heard Chi Shi's voice and turned her head to see her hair was messy and narrowed her eyes, "Did Your Highness the King of Chu send you back?"

Chi Shi waved his hand boldly, "Zhou Xian gave me? I gave him a lot of it! Don't think that his illness has been cured, but his mind is still very ill."

Chi Ying nodded in agreement, "That's true."

Chi Shi was stunned and looked at Chi Ying with some confusion, "Have Zhou Xian offended you?"

Chi Ying smiled, but turned aside the topic, "The Ministry of War is quite interesting. Do you know the General Guan who is guarding the border now?"

"Is General Guan who turned the tide after King Runan died?"

Chi Ying nodded, his voice lowered a little, "Gen. Guan is going to get rid of his army and return to the field and return to the capital. The resignation has arrived in front of His Majesty's case. I heard that it is already accurate. General Guan's daughter is Princess Runan."

Before Chi Shi could come back to his senses, Chi Ying said again, "The emperor's heart is unpredictable. In the past, there was no queen in the Runan Palace, and the Guan family was a good candidate for military power. But now that the Runan Palace has Guan Yi... The old general Guan is afraid that someone will think that if the Guan family has someone in their hands, their minds will be active."

Chi Shi frowned when he heard this, "I don't know a word about Guan Yi, but I don't know anything about the court affairs. Even if I have the identity of King Runan, so what? Now, Your Majesty, there are a lot of brothers born from the legitimate family, and will he still be suspicious of a small Guan Yi?"

"General Guan is a waste of time."

When Chi Ying heard this, she shook, "Ah Shi, you don't understand."

He said, pointing to the sky, "Some people have too much and cannot worry about experience, so they can only worry about losing it. The Empress Dowager was famous for being biased towards King Runan... Now the Guan family is the dominant family in the army, and they will protect themselves."

"There has been no war in Daliang for so many years, and there is no military merit today, and the force is not enough to convince the public. The King of Runan was the God of War in Daliang back then, and the King of Runan's Mansion was a loud sign in the army."

"Don't say that although Guan Yi can't do martial arts, he can pull all his bows and walk through Yang in a hundred steps. The first time he rode a horse, it was like he was born on a horse's back. Many people sighed. If he hadn't been wandering in that small village, he would probably be the second god of war."

"There is no wind and waves. The Runan Palace does not have that mind. But some people want to use it as a spear to attack Your Majesty's shield and break the current situation where Your Majesty and Empress Dowager Zhang are fighting with each other."

Chi Ying said, looking at Chi Shi, "Ashi, you and the King of Chu have saved Guan Yi. The Queen Mother's heart is about to turn to His Majesty's side. But as soon as this rumor came out, the leg that had stepped out was retracted."

"The Empress Dowager is more pity than His Majesty."

Chi Shi listened and his brows frowned even more. Chi Ying would never say these things for no reason.

"Does your brother have any plans?"

Chi Ying shook her head, "I know that you and the King of Chu are investigating the case of King Runan. When you hear the relevant wind, you will tell you. Zhou Xian is so smart and as if he is so smart. If you tell him, he will naturally understand."

Chi Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, I thought you were going to go to the border to fight."

Chi Ying laughed out loud, "It is true that the opportunity for the Ministry of War is coming. When General Guan moves, the situation on the border will change. The new emperor has succeeded him and is ambitious. In just one or two years, there will be war."

"It's just my top scholar in literature, not my top scholar in martial arts. Even if I want to fight, Your Majesty is afraid that the enemy general will stab him and bleed, which will scare me to faint... The enemy won without fighting!"

Chi Shi's lips curled up, and when he looked at Chi Ying laughing, he also laughed.

She likes her current brother. In the past, although it was good, it was like a dusty gem, always unknown, and even was overshadowed by her coroner. Whatever she said and did was always around her.

I have to support Ashi when taking the imperial examination. After making more money, I have to support Ashi. I speak smoothly because Ashi's mouth is too toxic...

It's so good now that Chi Ei can also plan for Chi Ei.

...

Here the Chi brother and sister were chatting under the tree, while Zhou Xian was sitting at the table listening to the butler's report.

"Your Highness, I've sent something in the palace today. The gift list is here. The newly offered Shu Jin this year is better than in previous years. It just so happens that Princess Yuanhua's birthday is coming soon. Can you please leave it to her as a birthday gift?"

Zhou Xian took a sip of sweet soup and was about to nod, but suddenly he stopped again, "No! Shu Jin looks good, keep it for me. And those beautiful jewelry, don't take it for yourself to give it to others, keep it all."

When the housekeeper heard this, his eyebrows trembled, and his voice was a little dry, "Your Highness has a sweetheart? Is our Chu Prince's Mansion finally going to have a princess? To be honest, I'm not willing to give away those rare jewelry for heads and faces!"

"It's all locked in the warehouse. When the time comes, your highness will get married. Although the palace will buy you a betrothal gift, if there are more, the princess will feel happy and decent. There are also good materials for making a seborrheic for the baby dolls, I'll keep some."

"The young prince can wear it then! The sky has eyes!"

Zhou Xian's ears turned red, and he glanced at the portrait of the pond hanging on the wall, cleared his throat, "What are you saying? Just keep it if you ask you to keep it, why are you talking nonsense? Last time I asked you to make some good ginger candy, red dates, angelica, donkey glue, etc., have you done it?"

He said, turning his head aside and counting his days with his fingers.

When the butler heard this, he suddenly realized. He slapped his forehead and made a loud bang.

Zhou Xian, who was holding the spoon, was shocked by him. Good guy, it’s a blessing that he has no internal strength. Otherwise, if he would have killed himself after this palm!

"It's ready! It's all ready! There's also flower tea. The little lady in the capital loves to drink flower tea. The muslin cloth is also very good, and the little lady likes that. Your Highness, Doctor Yuan in the palace has an old age with me. He has a prescription. It's best for women to replenish qi and blood. It's easy to make it into meatballs."
