"Mockery?" Looking at the direction the person beside her was walking towards, Mu Yingbao hadn't reacted yet.

Xue Wenyu found her confused look even cuter; "Don't you want to know? Then go over and take a look."

"But it's not a good idea to go now." Mu Yingbao said this, but his feet showed no intention of stopping at all.

Xue Wenyu raised the corner of his mouth and looked ahead; "If you feel it's inappropriate, then we won't go in, just wait outside."

This was a good suggestion and Mu Yingbao did not object.

Is it not okay to stand far away and pick up your own child from the court?

Mu Yingbao actually knew that Brother Hui really wanted to pick him up himself.

The two of them strolled around, and seeing that it was still early, they took a walk around the Imperial Garden, and then slowly walked towards the Council Hall.

The officials were walking out of the court, and some of them noticed the two people here, but seeing their expressions, they knew better than to go over and say hello.

Brother Hui and Scholar Fan walked side by side, talking about something as they walked, and Old Man Tao followed closely behind them.

"Mother?" Brother Hui saw from afar, immediately said goodbye to his grandfather, and walked quickly towards Mu Yingbao.

"This kid is really irrational." Old Man Tao muttered softly and bowed to Old Man Fan to say goodbye.

Old Man Fan nodded towards Mu Yingbao and the others as a greeting, then walked out without stopping.

"Mother, Father, why are you here?" Brother Hui asked happily as he came closer.

"I came here because I missed you, my son. Do you believe it?" Mu Yingbao asked with a smile. Looking at the ministers not far ahead, he retracted his outstretched hand.

Brother Hui reluctantly reached out and held Mu Yingbao's arm; "Mother must have come here because of something."

"Oh, my son is so smart, you can't fool him. Since you are so sure, guess why your father and I are here?" The two said as they walked back.

Being ignored, Xue Wenyu consciously took two steps behind and walked with the old man.

Brother Hui looked up at his mother with embarrassment and chuckled, "My son guesses that you must have come here because you were worried about my early court session this morning, right? The people outside are really stupid. Why didn't they tell my son earlier? Mother, you must have waited for a long time. You must be very tired, right?"

How about my son ask someone to carry him here?"

At first, the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that they wanted to make a few new ones because they were afraid that Brother Hui would feel uncomfortable and unlucky using the one that the previous emperor had sat on, but Brother Hui said that there was no need to make any.

After returning, he was still talking to Mu Yingbao. If it was so particular, wouldn't it be better to tear down the entire palace and rebuild it?

There were carriages for leaving the palace, but people had to walk inside the palace. Brother Hui never thought there was anything wrong with that.

"Son, if you are so filial, why don't you carry your mother on your back?" Xue Wenyu said from behind. When Hui Ge heard it, he stopped immediately and was about to say yes, but his eyes fell on his mother's bulging belly, and his eyebrows frowned; "I'm afraid it won't be appropriate to carry her." After saying that, he stretched out his two arms to measure them.

"What? You still want to take me back?" Mu Yingbao looked at the child's reaction and asked with amusement.

Xue Wenyu was just joking, but the kid took it seriously.

"Mother, I'm afraid my son can't hold him. What if he falls and hurts his younger brothers and sisters?" Brother Hui said with regret.

I eat a lot every day, and my mother makes so many delicious dishes, so why am I still so small?

"Come on, even if you can hold it, how dare you do it?" Old man Tao hit the child rudely.

Brother Hui looked up, still unconvinced. "I can hold her if I can, but why can't I hold my own mother? If anyone dares to say anything, I will kill all his clans."

"Oh? I didn't realize that Brother Hui, you are so domineering." Xue Wenyu said leisurely.

With just such a light sentence, Brother Hui immediately stuck out his tongue and shrank his neck.

Emma, ​​how could you forget that your father is here?

"Alright, what's wrong with my son being filial? Are you dissatisfied?" Mu Yingbao said as he took the child's hand and continued walking forward.

"Tell me, is there something special?" Mu Yingbao thought of Zhengjing Gong.

Brother Hui did not hesitate at all. "Mother, I am not hiding this from you. It is just too early in the morning. In fact, even if you did not come to ask, I would have told you after court.

The two of them talked as they walked, and when they arrived in front of the Yangxin Palace, Mu Yingbao already knew what had happened.

An urgent report was sent over eight hundred miles from the border, saying that the Xixiang Kingdom had started fighting with its former ally, the Wuyu Kingdom. Hui Ge went to court that morning to analyze the situation with the civil and military officials.

Let's not talk about whether Xixiang was originally the territory of Yan State, nor that Xixiang invaded Yan State three years ago. Xue Wenyu was sent there by Zhou Zhian at that time. As soon as he left, Hui Ge and Mu Yingbao were sent to Youcheng. Just to say that several emperors of Wu Yu State were ambitious.

They said at the beginning that they would not help the former crown prince Yude to establish a country for no reason. There must be an ulterior motive.

However, they certainly didn't expect that Xi Xiang had gradually become so powerful that he was no longer willing to be Wu Yu's younger brother.

The Wu Yu Kingdom was of course unhappy because they were disobedient and could not be ordered around. If they could not be allies, they would be enemies.

Mu Yingbao was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do the ministers say?"

"Some ministers said that we should just let Xixiang fend for itself and let the two countries fight. Some also said that we cannot just stand by and watch. If Wuyu State annexed Xixiang, then if things continued, the target might be Yan State.

Some ministers also said that Xixiang was originally part of Yan State and should never be allowed to be annexed by Wuyu State. "Brother Hui told him seriously.

The mother and daughter stood outside the gate and did not go in. Old Man Tao and Xue Wenyu behind them also stood there.

The old man looked at his granddaughter Mei in silence, thinking, shouldn't this matter be discussed with his father, the Duke?

But looking at this granddaughter Mei, she just listened carefully, without asking or expressing her own opinions.

"Son, what do you think?" Mu Yingbao asked again.

Mu Yingbao really wanted to know what this child thought about this matter.

"Mother, this is what I think. I have asked several old ministers. The Xixiang invaded our Yan Kingdom several times before, which was closely related to the Wuyu Kingdom. If they annex Xixiang this time, they will definitely not give up. Their ambitions will be even greater.

Given what the Wu Yu Kingdom has been doing, his son doesn't want to see them succeed.

Therefore, my son wants to send more troops to the Xixiang border, pending the situation.

If Xixiang can't hold out, we will help them repel Wuyu. If Xixiang is strong enough to hold out, then our troops will stay put and wait until the war is over before they are transferred back.

Xiang, will never give up, their ambitions will be even greater.

Given what the Wu Yu Kingdom has been doing, his son doesn't want to see them succeed.

Therefore, my son wants to send more troops to the Xixiang border, pending the situation.

If Xixiang can't hold out, we will help them repel Wuyu. If Xixiang is strong enough to hold out, then our troops will stay put and wait until the war is over before they are transferred back.

"Mother, what do you think? Is it safe?" Brother Hui asked cautiously.

Before Mu Yingbao could respond, Old Man Tao and Lin Chuan and the others who followed him all frowned.

If that is the case, who would be the most suitable person to lead the expedition?

Lin Chuan and his friends all turned to their masters, and Old Man Tao also turned to Mu Yingbao...
