Hidden in the court

As soon as Jia Qian left, old man Hu Qiangguang came in.

"Show the old general a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Nangong Lin spoke only after Mr. Hu sat down.

"Has the old general decided?"

Mr. Hu sighed, "Well, it's decided."

"Don't worry, old general. You are still the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the Hu family will still be loyal and brave for thousands of years. When you are a hundred years old, I will ensure that Ying'er will live a prosperous life."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have spent my whole life in the military, but I made a mistake for a moment, which caused Ying'er to suffer. I don't have much else to worry about, but I am worried about Ying'er. Let's let the family affairs go. I have deceived myself for so many years, and I should be content."

"General, you are too kind. The Hu family is full of loyal and brave people. Who in the world doesn't know this?"

Mr. Hu shook his head. "Your Majesty, please forgive my nonsense. I followed the late emperor and spent half my life in the military to build the kingdom of Liangwu. For this, my three sons died on the battlefield. The eldest son was only in his thirties and had just married. Ying'er was not even born yet. When the child was full-term, my daughter-in-law died of dystocia. They died for a good cause. But I am no longer interested in politics. I just want to take care of my granddaughter.

Your Majesty was also raised by me. When the late emperor was alive, the monarch and his subjects were of one mind, and it was a peaceful and prosperous era. But after the late emperor passed away, he asked me to assist the country at my age. Five years ago, I was entrusted with the task again, but I failed Your Majesty and lost three states. Now I am almost 80 years old, and I personally sent my only granddaughter to the army.

Your Majesty, I don't have much time left, I just want to see Ying Er get married."

Mr. Hu's emotional narration made Nangong Lin feel very uncomfortable.

"Old General, I am incompetent and I am sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Mr. Hu waved his hand and continued, "Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people. You are a rare benevolent monarch. But times have changed and people's hearts are no longer reliable. Your Majesty, please listen to me. Most officials are corrupt and selfish. They can be used but not trusted. The other one is Ji Liancheng. Although he has left the capital, no one knows how many troops he has now. If we want to check and balance him, we can only rely on Luo Wei."

"I will keep in mind the old general's advice."

Mr. Hu didn't say much, and Nangong Lin knew that now was not the time to talk about this.

"Then I will issue an edict and announce it to the world."

Soon, an imperial edict swept the capital. The specific content was as follows, "Hu Die, the descendant of the Hu family and grandson of General Hu Qiangguang, is loyal and steadfast, and the law of heaven can bear witness to this. The Hu family is full of loyal and heroic people with outstanding achievements. His Majesty is still grateful for their loyalty, and now extends his grace to their descendants. He specially conferred the title of Princess Changle on the grandson of General Hu Die."

When this decree was issued, the entire capital city was stunned.

Only a small number of people who knew Hu Die's true identity were calm. For example, Luo Wei and his daughter Luo Lin, Luo Lin was very happy, "Sister Hu has returned to her daughter's body, so can I go play with her?"

Some people objected, strongly. "Even if she is General Hu's granddaughter, how can she be given the title of Princess? Even if a Princess is not a direct descendant of the Emperor, she must be a relative of the Emperor. How can the descendant of a general be given the title of Princess?"

There is no need to think about it, it is a maternal relative. A general's descendant was made a princess, so where would we, the royal relatives, be placed?

And there is Su Mengyang, who is worried...

Within half an hour, someone came to Nangong Lin.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although the Hu family has made great contributions, it is really too harsh to confer the title of princess on a junior foreign official..."

Before the man finished speaking, Nangong Lin winked at him. The man glanced at him and almost got his heart jumping out of his chest.

"Really...really, it's wise! Oh, General Hu is here too."

Mr. Hu looked at him and said, "Okay, I'll remember you."

The person who came was the current queen's brother, the royal uncle Nangong Lin, and he didn't give him a good look either.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's your sister's fault. If she can give birth to a girl, she will be a princess, and if she gives birth to a boy, he will be a prince. Okay, go down."

He dismissed the man with one sentence. After the prince came out, he complained in his heart, "What the hell? What if it's just you who's not up to the mark?"

Speaking of which, the uncle of the emperor could only worry. Although his sister was the queen, she had no children. On the contrary, Concubine Liu had a daughter who was now a princess. There was still no movement from his sister, and now there was an inexplicable princess. He could not help but be anxious.

"Old General, what should we do about Ying'er's lifelong affairs? I think Su Xiao is a good guy. He has no father and no mother, so he can be a live-in son-in-law for the Hu family."

Mr. Hu was shocked. Here he comes again. He is especially good at making random matches. What if Su Xiao is really your son? Then whose surname will my great-grandson take? My granddaughter is marrying your son. How can we discuss it? We can discuss our own. I call you Your Majesty, but you call me Dad?

"Su Zhuangyuan is good, but let's talk about this later, shall we?"

"What's wrong, old general, are you afraid that Ying'er won't agree? Young people don't know each other unless they fight. I think Ying'er has a special feeling for Su Xiao."

Mr. Hu didn't know what to say, so he could only laugh awkwardly. Nangong Lin didn't mean to stop talking, "Su Xiao is a breath of fresh air in the officialdom of Liangwu. I have my own plans for his appointment, but I can guarantee that he is very important and can even support Luo Wei to his current position.

Therefore, Su Xiao will definitely be able to reach a high position in the future, and the old general can rest assured. "

Lowe, who was being thought of for no reason, shuddered without warning and met his daughter's eager gaze.

"Daddy~"

Luo Wei shuddered again and thought that Ji Mingshang was not in the capital anyway, and General Hu’s granddaughter had returned to her female body, so if his daughter wanted to go, let her go.

"Go ahead and don't cause trouble for your sister Hu."

胡家

Hu Die was already restless after receiving the imperial edict. She couldn't understand why she had to revive the family. Now not only has she not made any achievements, but she has also received an imperial decree to make her a princess. Thinking of her grandfather going to see the emperor, she guessed that this was tacitly approved by her grandfather. Why did her grandfather do this? I can't revive the family. Is it because I am a woman?

Hu Die is a sensible person, she also has a sense of responsibility, reviving the family is her biggest responsibility. She also wants to be a quiet girl, so she sometimes envies Rowling.

However, reviving the family has been her goal for many years, her responsibility, and seemingly her destiny.

Now that she had lost her goal, what else could she do? Hu Die was at a dead end.

She had taken off her mask and was sitting at the table in a daze, looking at herself in the mirror, as if she saw her future as a vase.

At this moment, Butterfly is more like a deer lost in the darkness, and urgently needs someone to bring her light and lead her out of the fog.

Suddenly, with a creak, the door opened.

The light from the mirror flashed into her eyes.
