Long Live the Empress

Seeing Yue Jing remained silent for a long time, Xu Xinghuai thought she was embarrassed because she had never read the book. Just as he was about to speak to smooth things over, he heard a soft voice, "My daughter is fortunate enough to have read a few of the books."

When Xu Xinghuai heard that Yue Jinghao had actually read it, he immediately became excited, "Oh, then Miss Yue, can you tell me your opinion?"

Yue Jinghao put the book on the table and smiled. "I don't dare to take credit for your opinion, but I can tell from this book that the person who wrote it must be an experienced and brave general. Although he looks rough and bold, he is actually very careful. He not only cares for his soldiers, but also for his children. He has his own unique opinions on battle formations. General, do you think what I said is right?"

This time, Xu Xinghuai was the one who remained silent. No one knew that he wrote this book, and he had never told his children about it. Now his book had been read so thoroughly by a little girl. This was not just a cursory reading as Yue Jinghao had said. She was simply his confidant...

"Then Miss Yue, can you tell me what is lacking in this book?"

Yue Jinghao thought for a moment, "There are some shortcomings. For example, the book only tells the soldiers to be loyal to the emperor and defend the country. But it does not tell the soldiers to be careful about everything and not to get angry when encountering traitors. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as the green mountains are there, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood..."

Yue Jinghao's words actually had a hidden meaning. If Xu Xinghuai had remembered these words in his previous life and only acted in secret, the entire clan would not have suffered such a devastating disaster!

Xu Xinghuai lowered his head and remained silent. Half an incense stick later, Xu Xinghuai suddenly burst into laughter, "Miss Yue is really smart! I am very pleased that Can'er can make friends like you! Can'er lost her mother when she was young, and there are only boys in the mansion. Please teach Can'er how to behave with her daughter, so that she won't suffer any loss!"

Yue Jinghao stood up and saluted Xu Xinghuai, "General Xu asked my daughter to call Can'er sister, then why is General Xu still so politely calling my daughter Miss Yue?"

Xu Xinghuai was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter again, "Then why did Jing'er call me General Xu so politely?"

Yue Jinghao smiled and bowed, "Jing'er greets Uncle Xu!"

The two smiled at each other, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time...

When Xu Lingcan came back, the two were discussing something enthusiastically. It seemed that Sister Jing was his friend?

Suddenly Xu Xinghuai slammed the table, "Humph! Song Xinghuai and I have the same name, it's simply... it's simply..."

Xu Xinghuai kept talking for a long time without saying anything, and Xu Lingcan continued, "It's an insult to my father!"

"Yes! It's to humiliate me! Humph!"

Seeing that the useless Xu Xinghuai in his previous life actually looked like a child, Yue Jinghao also revealed a sincere smile.

Near noon, Yue Jinghao wanted to say goodbye and go home, but was stopped by the father and daughter, who insisted that she stay for lunch. Xu Xinghuai even said that if Yue Jinghao dared to leave, it would mean that she looked down on him!

Yue Jinghao shook her head helplessly and had to stay for dinner.

Xu Lingcan's two brothers also came back from training in the training ground. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Yue Jinghao sitting in the guest seat.

"Father, my son is back!"

When Xu Xinghuai saw his two sons coming in, he hurriedly and attentively introduced them to Yue Jinghao, "Jing'er, this is your older brother Xu Zhanbo, now he is the Sili Commandant."

"My little girl Yue Jinghao greets big brother!" Yue Jinghao performed the junior's salute to show her respect to Xu Zhanbo.

The two brothers were originally surprised that their father addressed a woman so intimately. When Xu Zhanbo saw the woman bowing to him, his face turned red on the spot, "Greetings... Greetings to Sister Jing'er..."

It was the first time that the seven-foot-tall man was so reserved in public, causing everyone to hold back their laughter.

Xu Xinghuai cleared his throat and said, "This is your second brother Xu Zhanqi, the captain of Nanyuan."

Yue Jinghao bowed to Xu Zhanqi again, "My daughter Yue Jinghao greets my second brother."

Xu Zhanqi was cheerful. "Hello, sister Jing'er. I didn't bring anything good today. This dagger is the first trophy I got. I'll give it to you as a gift!"

Xu Zhanbo also quickly turned up his sleeves and found an egg-sized night-shining pearl, "Sister Jing'er... Sister, this is my gift..."

Yue Jinghao didn't hesitate and accepted the gift generously. "Jing'er thanks you brothers."

Xu Xinghuai looked at his eldest son's red face, and then looked at Yue Jinghao, who was well-educated and polite. An idea came to his mind. How could calling him uncle sound better than calling him father? "How old are you, Jing'er?"

"You will be an adult next year." Yue Jinghao noticed Xu Xinghuai's intention and smiled helplessly in her heart.

"Oh? Jing'er is so outstanding, maybe next year the threshold of her house will be trampled down by matchmakers! Hahaha..." Xu Xinghuai's words made Xu Zhanbo's heart jump. He quickly glanced at the woman opposite and clenched his big hands nervously.

Manju couldn't help but interrupt, "General Xu, you're joking. My daughter has already been engaged..."

What? Everyone in the Xu residence looked at Yue Jinghao in surprise. Come to think of it, how could such an outstanding woman have no one to marry her?
