Putting those whom he couldn't afford to offend aside for now, Bei Yueyan returned to the inner room, took out a small piece of bamboo tube from his tight cuffs, and handed it to Taoist Priest Gongzhi:

"Ji Wu sent it today, take a look."

Taoist priest Gongzhi took it and twisted it gently, breaking the bamboo tube, and took out a ball of paper. He opened it, looked at it, and laughed twice.

"My disciple is kind-hearted and good."

It doesn't matter whether you kill or not, just let nature take its course.

"It's a good thing that a girl from an ordinary family has a kind heart. My daughter from the Bei Yueshi has a kind heart..." Perhaps there was a danger lurking around. There was a trace of disappointment in Bei Yueyan's eyes, "Forget it, let her mother find a kind family for her.

."

For small mistakes and small punishments, such as betraying the master, slaves should be killed with a stick even if they were unintentional, as a warning to others. Follow the example, and in order to save their lives, the slaves will weigh the pros and cons and be more cautious in their future actions.

Everyone makes mistakes, but if rewards and punishments are inappropriate, family rules are in vain, and the back house is absolutely in chaos.

Zhaoer has not been able to get along with the daughter of the royal family since she was a child. She also has a sensitive identity after the fall of the country, and she even broke up with the second son of the Meng family.

There is no need to think about marrying into a powerful family. She can only marry into an ordinary family, and she must be a commoner. Because the common people will not be picky about her, common people are humble, and the royal family may disdain her when they see her in such a miserable state.

Difficult.

Otherwise, as long as the person she marries has some wealth, he will not be able to escape the disaster of family destruction.

"Master Marquis is overly worried. I'm afraid her future will not be at your mercy." Taoist priest Gongzhi said unoptimistically, "This child is arrogant and arrogant. It is still unknown whether she will be able to marry or not."

"Oh?" Bei Yueyan heard this and recalled an old story he had heard before, "By the way, Taoist priest, Taibu Liu Jian once made a calculation for the little girl, saying that her fate was too rigid, and Kefu... you see...

…”

Liu Jian was mentioned by his friend Feng Yan, who is now the Holy Emperor. At that time, it was still Beicang, and Beicang had a national teacher, Sang Bo, to predict the fortune of the country, so he didn't take it seriously.

I just remember that at that time, Feng Yan praised the man named Liu for his real ability, but I didn’t know whether he believed it or not.

"That's nonsense!" The disciple was slandered. Taoist priest Gongzhi's face was filled with displeasure. Some words came to his lips but he swallowed them back reluctantly, "...She had to be tough in life. The situation forced her to survive.

Don't be unfounded when you talk about nonsense."

What kind of divination is this? A half-baked charlatan who talks nonsense.

Phew, the way he spoke with certainty did not sound like words of comfort. Bei Yueyan felt relieved and nodded happily:

"That's good, that's good."

Taoist priest Gongzhi glanced at him, endured it again and again, and finally said nothing.

"The recent series of assassinations prove that Zhao'er's return is not far away." But some people don't want her to return to Beijing. Bei Yueyan frowned and stroked his beard, "The descendants of the Feng family are narrow-minded, and Zhao'er's future situation will be even more difficult." Taoist priest

, I ask you to teach me well during these days."

"It's easy to say." Being entrusted with the matter of loyalty, Taoist Priest Zhengzhi stood up and said without any nonsense, "It's time to go back. Mr. Marquis, you father and son should take care of themselves."

Bei Yueyan stood up, bowed, and sent the Taoist priest to the door of the house.

The moonlight was in the sky, and as he watched the Taoist priest ride away, his mood was ups and downs, and he looked guilty, feeling guilty for his little daughter. Everyone knew that he valued his direct descendants, but little did they know that this was both a fact and an illusion he deliberately created.

Bloodline is the most important thing. In troubled times, no matter the direct descendants.

In a peaceful and prosperous age, the direct children would of course be more valued and their status would be extremely noble; no matter how capable the concubine children were, they could only serve as assistants to the direct line and could not overstep their bounds.

Only by acting with effective actions can the country be in peace and order.

But in times of crisis, such as the current Beiyue clan, the entire family can collapse at any time. Under unavoidable circumstances, direct descendants must bear the responsibility for the survival of the family.

For example, sacrificing oneself to leave a way for the younger brothers and sisters to live.

However, after the death of his eldest son, the wife of the royal family has been left with nothing. In order to save the other children, Bei Yueyan selected one of the children of his side wife Feng, who is the current eldest princess, and recorded it in the name of his aunt Jiang, and became his legitimate wife.

Second son.

The second son, Yong, named Zhonghe, is the second eldest son in the family. He is 22 years old and is a curator of the National Archives. He has little power. He organizes books in the archives every day, does daily chores, and is ordered to look for information.

.

He has become a direct descendant of Bei Yue and has the blood of Feng family. Until the last moment, the royal family will give him a break and spare his life.

Originally, Bei Yueyan, who only had his concubine in Beijing, had nothing to worry about, but luckily, as luck would have it, Jiang, who was diagnosed as infertile, actually gave him a legitimate daughter.

Facts have proved that compared with Zhong He, the fake legitimate son, Yuan Zhao, the real legitimate daughter, is obviously more important.

This can be seen from the fact that she has been threatened with death since she was a baby. Therefore, marrying into an ordinary family is just a wishful thinking on the part of the parents.

Not to mention marriage, even death, she must obtain the royal family's permission.

Escape is even more impossible. If it arouses the suspicion and anger of the royal family, Beiyue's genocide will become a reality.

As the head of the family, he cannot be so selfish.

…

Day after day, late autumn is approaching.

Half a month later, the epidemic at the border was gone. After the news came out that Governor Wu and officials had been stationed in the city, the people who fled Nanzhou returned home one after another, pushing their belongings.

The tranquility in the General's Mansion was as peaceful as ever, in sharp contrast to the busy rumblings of cars outside the courtyard wall.

In the courtyard, a child clung to the wall in the posture of a summer cicada, with half of his little head popping out. He watched with interest the pedestrians passing by on the street outside the wall, admiring the various things in the world.

After her master told her that she was fine on the front line and that her father and brother were fine, Yuan Zhao finally made up her mind to attend class.

Occasionally, I can be lazy and hang it on the wall to watch the busy world outside.

"Princess, good news——"

Just as she was watching happily, He Chun's voice of joy came from behind. She looked back, loosened her hands, jumped down from the wall and asked:

"What good news?"

"The general sent someone back to deliver a message, saying that the emperor had decreed that the princess should return to the capital at the end of the year." He Chun said happily, "I can finally go to the capital! Jinniang and I have never been to the capital!"

When Yuan Zhao heard this, he curled his lips and said with a bored expression:

"What's so good about the capital? There are so many rules. You will regret it if you go there."

"You have to go if you regret it. This is an imperial edict!" He Chun said happily, "Steward Ji asked his subordinates to come and ask, Princess, what luggage do you have to pack and take away? Although there is still half a month before departure, be careful to pack it early.

Don’t panic.”

"Where are my father and third brother? Will they come back?" Yuan Zhao asked reluctantly, raising his eyebrows.

"Go back! Go back together!"

No, as soon as Manager Ji received the news, he went to pack the luggage of the Marquis and his son. The little princess belonged to her daughter's family, so He Chun and Jin Niang ordered the maids to pack, so it was not convenient for him to interfere.

Huh?! Yuan Zhao was extremely surprised, "Really?! They can also go back?"

"Of course it's true. Falsifying the imperial edict will lead to beheading." Seeing her beaming face, He Chun smiled sincerely, "Beijing sent another military general to replace the Marquis. I guess the Marquis will be able to be in the capital this time.

Stay for a while."

This is an unprecedented happy event!

This kind of grace was possible only because Sun's imperial eunuch went back and reported that the little princess had suffered a lot at the border and was laughed at by some generals because she didn't look like her father.

In addition, the imperial court was already aware of the critical situation on the border, and it was made by Governor Wu and Inspector Zhao at the same time. The two truthfully stated the performance of Marquis Dingyuan and his son, and won the Holy Heart, so they came up with this imperial edict.

"Wu Jun will put in a good word for my father?" Yuan Zhao was confused at first, then looked enlightened, and said conspiratorially, "Oh, he is afraid that my father will come back to Beijing to participate in his book, right? Showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or adultery.

Thief, villain! I despise him!"

Pfft, He Chun laughed secretly.

The little princess is full of witty words and often says things that make people laugh and make sense. It's really funny.
