The Prince is so good

Xue Mei was unintentionally guessing riddles.

She couldn't help but be amused by Xiao Jingcheng.

"I don't know him, so where can I know?" Xue Mei smiled, "and I don't want to inquire either."

As they talked, they walked around the outer courtyard.

Go out from the corner gate of the outer courtyard, and there is a special training ground with weapons and weapon stands.

Xue Mei looked at such a large area, as big as two football fields, and thinking about the foot of the imperial city where every inch of land was worth a lot of money, it was a waste.

"According to the ancestral system of the court, how many personal soldiers can you raise?" Xue Mei asked.

"I'm an exception." Xiao Jingcheng said.

Xue Mei: "..."

Sure enough, the youngest son is very favored.

Xue Mei felt that Xiao Jingcheng was particularly lucky. His emperor's father loved him very much and wanted to give him the country directly. After all, compared with the current emperor, he was the real son of the legitimate son.

No matter what the current emperor said, he was a maid and son. How could Empress Dowager Hu have the knowledge of Empress Dowager Qi?

But the prince is concerned about the court, so it is definitely inappropriate to change it rashly.

Xiao Jingcheng was too young, and at that time the late emperor was in poor health, so he didn't have the energy to turn his youngest son into the crown prince.

In order to make up for it, he gave Xiao Jingcheng many exceptions.

For example, if a prince is less than fifteen years old, he will not open a mansion, such as a fief, or a personal soldier of the royal mansion.

"...According to the ancestral system, the prince can raise two thousand personal soldiers." Xiao Jingcheng said, "Only the prince, the prince cannot. But my father's special order, I can have five thousand.

However, I don’t often stay in Kyoto, and it will be of no benefit to raise more personal soldiers in the mansion. I specially submitted a memorial, leaving only one hundred personal soldiers and one hundred secret guards in the mansion, and His Majesty also agreed."

Xue Mei: "..."

With such an exception, how did he restrain himself so that he did not grow up to be a playboy?

Xue Mei, who had two lifetimes of experience, envied him very much. She had never felt fatherly love in both lives.

Xue Mei looked at the weapons on the school ground and remembered that she planned to give Xiao Jingcheng a weapon as a farewell gift. She asked him: "When will you go back to Baiya Town?"

"I won't go back this year." Xiao Jingcheng said, "Why, do you want me to go back?"

Xue Mei: "What do I want you to go back? I'm just asking. If you leave, tell me in advance and I'll give you a weapon."

She mentioned this last time and Xiao Jingcheng also remembered it in his heart.

"What kind of weapon is it?" he asked.

"It must be easier to use than what you use now." Xue Mei smiled, "But it is not as good as the bird gun. The fireworks you set off on New Year's Eve made me realize that gunpowder is easy to use now. I plan to get the bird gun out when I am free.

However, I don’t plan to use it for you in the army. If our army is too developed and we are uneasy to fight the current situation, the people of the world will be suffering."

Now it is five parts of the world, and the power of each country is comparable.

There is an old saying in China, saying that the world is in general, and long-term separation will lead to separation.

Once the Liang Kingdom's weapons are out of place, it will cause war and gather the soil of China into a country. This is the driving force and is engraved in the Chinese genes.

Unification is always necessary.

Xue Mei doesn't want to break this harmonious situation.

Xiao Jingcheng suddenly changed his face.

He was silent for a moment before he said to Xue Mei: "I will not take the initiative to provoke a war, don't worry."

Xue Mei reached out and raised her hand and touched his cheek: "So good."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

Before Xue Mei could withdraw her hand, Xiao Jingcheng held it down. He pressed her hand against his cheek and closed his eyes slightly.

It's not the same as in the space.

In the space, Xue Mei felt that he was cold, but in fact he couldn't feel Xue Mei's warmth.

The air in early spring was cold, his cheeks were frozen, and her palms were soft and warm, and against his face, Xiao Jingcheng felt a strange warmth.

He was distracted for a moment.

Xue Mei was also stunned.

She was a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to joke: "You look like Ah Chou, like a cat."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

His eyes opened, his hands were slightly relaxed, and Xue Mei pulled his hands back.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and Xue Mei changed the topic and asked him: "Do you know what a bird gun is?"

Xiao Jingcheng: "I haven't heard of it. As you said, it's also a weapon?"

"Yes, hot weapons."

"Weapons are still hot and cold?" Xiao Jingcheng was puzzled.

After entering Xue Mei's space and knowing her secret, Xue Mei talked to him about the development of weapons.

Bird guns were found in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the West was in full swing in the industrial revolution, but China was still complacent and the bird gun did not develop further until the great powers bombarded the country with cannons, bringing humiliation to China for a century.

The subsequent weapons, which humans conquered space for thousands of years, took them thousands of years.

Xue Mei didn't say anything later. When she talked about the cannons in the Earth Age, the gun stopped.

Xiao Jingcheng was very shocked when he heard this: "So amazing?"

"Yes." Xue Mei smiled.

He was immediately interested in the weapons and bird guns that Xue Mei mentioned.

The two chatted for a while and walked around Prince Rui's Mansion. It was afternoon.

Xue Mei plans to go home.

She was going to the Qi family, bid farewell to Princess Yanping, and then return to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

"...I'll come to see you again next day." Xue Mei said.

Xiao Jingcheng: "Go to watch the lanterns together on the Lantern Festival."

"It's okay to watch lanterns, but don't arrange them, just look at the prosperity of the city and the fireworks on earth. The arrangement is specially made, just look at a lantern." Xue Mei said.

Xiao Jingcheng thought about it and said this was reasonable.

He nodded.

He accompanied Xue Mei to leave the palace and headed to Qi's house. Go out of the gate quickly, Xue Mei told him not to follow him, she could go by herself.

Xiao Jingcheng was reluctant to leave.

When he was a cat, if he wanted to see her, he could see her anytime and anywhere, and could sleep next to her pillow.

Now, I am closer than at the beginning, and I still feel alienated.

Xiao Jingcheng is particularly familiar with Xue Mei, but Xue Mei is always a little unfamiliar with him.

He is no longer a cat, so he has to give her time to adapt.

Xue Mei went to Qi's house and entered the banquet yard, and heard noble girls talking about her.

"Did King Rui come to find her?"

"She had a close relationship with Prince An Cheng before. Unexpectedly, she looked so good that she could hook up a man."

"I can't wait to quit the marriage, but I just want to climb high? The prince was confused by her."

"You don't understand. She is ordinary. The princes treat her plainly, but instead let her take advantage of her. If she is beautiful, the princes might have to avoid suspicion."

Princess Yanping was there, listening quietly to their discussion. Although she didn't say anything, she didn't say anything to Xue Mei.

Someone said, "The Lord of Chengyang is very good. She has good medical skills and has made her own abacus. The oil-paper umbrella is also her idea..."

However, everyone was talking bad things about Xue Mei, and suddenly, someone who praised her was like this, and no one answered her and was soon overwhelmed.

Xue Mei coughed heavily.
