In the study room.
When Xiao Yu heard Xiao Yin's words, she said somewhat embarrassedly,""I thought Father would keep the eighteen dancers for himself.”
"I'm already at this age. What do I need eighteen dancers for?" Xiao Yin said lightly. Moreover, the gifts had to be valuable. There was nothing better than those eighteen dancers.”
"Why don't you give me some calligraphy and paintings?" Xiao Yu asked.
Xiao Yin said,"If you're someone like this, it would be best to give a famous person's calligraphy and painting as a gift. However, I saw that Chu Chi didn't care about those rare treasures in the residence at all, so I knew that he didn't care about these things."”
"At the banquet just now, Chu Chi clearly admired those eighteen dancers more. Father was just asking for their favor.”
"So that's how it is."”
Xiao Yin put down the book in his hand, looked at Xiao Yu and said,""You have to know that a gift is given to a person of the same kind. Most men in the world can't escape the temptation of wealth, beauty, fame, and power.”
"I've learned my lesson." Xiao Yu cupped his hands.
"Yes." Xiao Yin nodded." You should know that among all the kings in the world, only the Chu Clan of the Northern Liang is the only king with a different surname. Chu Chi will be the next King of the Northern Liang in the future. It will only be beneficial for us to befriend him.”
"Why did His Majesty summon Chu Chi to the capital this time? His Majesty is afraid of Northern Liang! When the current Prince of Beiliang, Chu Yanxun, was young, the Emperor wanted to betroth his sister to him. In the end, Chu Yanxun had someone in his heart, and the matter ended without a hitch.”
"This time, when Chu Chi enters the capital, His Majesty must be thinking of marrying the Chu clan again, tying the Chu clan to the royal family and deepening the relationship between the royal family and the Chu clan.”
"Father, why is His Majesty afraid of the Northern Liang Chu Clan?" Xiao Yu asked in confusion. As far as I know, the Chu Clan of Beiliang has been guarding the border for Daliang for 300 years.”
Xiao Yin sighed and said helplessly,"You should read less poetry in the future. You're going to be stunned by it." The loyalty of the Chu Clan of the Northern Liang did not mean that His Majesty could rest assured. If the horse was not reined in, who knew when it would run away?”
"Do you know that Beiliang has the strongest army among all the kings in the world? For the past 300 years, Beiliang has been relying on Donghu and the Great Night Nation to suppress the two countries. They have never stepped into Beiliang for the past 300 years.”
"If Beiliang has any disloyalty, they can probably attack the imperial city of Jing Province! How many princes and generals in the world dared to pat their chests and say that they could stop the Northern Liang cavalry?”
"Doesn't the Prince of Beiliang only have an army of 300,000?" Xiao Yu asked in shock.”
Xiao Yin said," Humph! On the surface, there are 300,000 troops. However, these 300,000 troops are all elite soldiers and valiant generals. Moreover, do you believe that as long as the Prince of Beiliang gives the order, he can raise an army of a million in Beiliang at any time?!"”
"This million strong army isn't the kind of scattered soldiers. Northern Liang is located in the frontier fortress and has been fighting against the foreign tribes for 300 years. The soldiers were as brave as them? You underestimate the Chu Clan of the Prince of Beiliang."
" Hiss---" Xiao Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. When she thought of the scene of the Northern Liang's million strong army heading south, her limbs felt numb.
After regaining her senses, Xiao Yu asked in a tight voice,""Then, then why did the imperial court still allow the Chu Clan to control the Northern Liang?”
"What's the reason for attacking the Chu family?" Xiao Yin asked back. The Chu Clan had protected the northern territory of Daliang for three hundred years, and the foreign tribes had not dared to step into Daliang's territory. If there was no reason, how could they do anything?”
" Moreover, at least half of Daliang was conquered by the first Prince of Beiliang, the ancestor of the Chu Clan. Without the Chu Clan of Beiliang, we might not even be able to live the life we have today, let alone His Majesty.”
"Emperor Taizu once said that the world does not only belong to the Xiao family, but also to the Chu family. The wife of the first Prince of Beiliang was also the elder sister of Emperor Taizu.”
"The Prince of Beiliang also has the bloodline of the Xiao family. In addition, the Chu family of Beiliang has always guarded the border and is loyal. Do you think the imperial court can do anything even if they want to? Do you dare to move?"
Xiao Yu stopped talking. After a long time, she asked carefully,""Father, let me assume. If the Chu Clan of Northern Liang has any ill intentions, can our Qinzhou stop them?”
"Block?" Xiao Yin lay on the chair and swayed a few times. He said calmly,"Don't even think about it. If that really happens, I can only die to ensure the safety of the three of you."
Just as Xiao Yin was giving his son a special lesson and explaining the relationship between Northern Liang and the imperial court, Chu Chi was feeling restless.
Looking at the eighteen golden flowers standing gracefully in the room, Ji Zi and Bai Yishu stared at Chu Chi, who was sitting on the main seat, with a playful look in their eyes.
Chu Chi felt awkward as well. Ji Zi and Bai Yishu found out that he was bringing a woman home, and there were eighteen of them.
"Cough, this is a gift from Prince Qin. I'm embarrassed to reject other people's good intentions.”Chu Chi explained guiltily.
" Your Highness," Bai Yishu said with a smile," Your Highness, you're really nice to me. These eighteen sisters are all rare beauties."”
Ji Zi nodded as well." Indeed. Any one of them would be a Courtesan Belle outside. The King of Qin is generous too. He actually gave 18 of them at once."”
Chu Chi, who was listening at the side, felt that something was wrong. Was she not jealous? Not angry?
It didn't make sense.
