The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

After Li Che left, Ming Huaixi no longer cared about him. In Ming Huaixi's heart, she and Li Che were just acquaintances and could not be considered familiar with each other.

Since Mingyuan became the emperor of Xi Kingdom, some ministers have suggested that the emperor should marry and establish a queen.

Mingyuan rejected their opinions and said, "I already have a crown prince and a grandson, so what does it matter whether I establish a queen or not? Now that Xi State has just stabilized, you are not thinking about how to build Xi State and how to serve the people and the country, but want me to establish a queen. Or do you want to plant spies in my harem and plot a rebellion?"

"I dare not." The ministers were frightened by Mingyuan's words and immediately knelt down to admit their mistakes.

Although they did have some ulterior motives in proposing to establish a queen, they did not dare to rebel. After this accusation was put on them, these ministers never dared to mention the idea of ​​selecting a queen for Mingyuan again.

Some ministers suddenly realized that the emperor would not hold a beauty contest to choose a queen, but the prince only had one princess consort, so they all sent women to Ming Hao Ning's mansion at once.

Ming Hao Ning was extremely annoyed. Although he introduced the women he sent to his troops for blind dates every time, it was still very annoying.

It was Ming Haoran who came up with the idea and asked Ming Hao Ning to thoroughly investigate the families who loved to send women. Few people who have the idea of ​​relying on women have clean backgrounds. After Ming Hao Ning's investigation, he found out their lifeline. After that, no one else dared to send women.

After their last proposal for the emperor to take a queen failed, some families with established backgrounds set their sights on the long-term. They set their sights on the emperor's grandson, and those who had little daughters and granddaughters in the family began to train them.

Ming Huaixi is now thirty years old, which means she can be a grandmother in ancient times. Ming Yuan had considered Ming Huaixi's lifelong affairs before, but Ming Huaixi didn't want to get married again. In Ming Huaixi's opinion, what's the good of getting married? Even if she is the eldest princess, she still has a mother-in-law above her, and she still has to consider her husband's family in the future.

How good it is now. I am the eldest princess, and I have few people above me. I have a good relationship with my two brothers and I also have a good relationship with my nephew. I can say that as long as the Xi Kingdom is not destroyed, no trouble will dare to find me. Getting married is simply asking for trouble.

That day, Ming Huaixi came to the palace to chat with Mingyuan. Mingyuan began to worry about Ming Huaixi's future again, "Xier, are you really not going to consider getting married again?"

"Father, I am already this old, why am I still considering whether to get married or not?"

Mingyuan felt sorry for his little girl. He felt that Ming Huaixi didn't enjoy much in the first half of her life. When she was young, he spent little time with her because of the war. After she got married, her husband died. Later, he had to go through so many wars. He always felt very guilty about his little girl. Now that he saw his daughter was so old and still alone, without a child to take care of her, he felt even more distressed.

"How old are you? How about this? Do you have a favorite young man? Father will decide. If you like him, let him enter your princess's mansion."

Entering the princess's mansion does not mean marrying into the princess's mansion, but becoming Ming Huaixi's male concubine.

Ming Huaixi was surprised by her father's open-mindedness. Thinking of a group of men fighting for her hand in her princess's mansion, Ming Huaixi shuddered and quickly stopped imagining, "I don't have anyone I like. If I do, I will ask my father to make the decision."

Ming Huaixi talked to Ming Yuan for a while. Ming Yuan was very busy and didn't have much free time. After the eunuch urged him once, Ming Huaixi resigned.

After leaving the palace, Ming Huaixi didn't want to return to the princess's mansion so soon, so he took a few people for a walk on the street. A small black shadow passed by Ming Huaixi in a familiar way, and this time he was directly caught by the guards beside Ming Huaixi.

What the little black shadow was holding in his hand was Ming Huaixi's purse.

"The master is a beggar." The guard grabbed the little beggar's collar and took the purse back from his hand.

After Ming Huaixi got the purse back, he originally wanted to leave directly, but when his eyes met the little beggar's eyes, he was stunned. There seemed to be a strong reluctance to this world, as well as a deep despair for this world in the little beggar's eyes, which made people want to know what he had experienced.

"What's your name?"

"I don't have a name. People call me beggar."

"how old are you?"

"I don't know. It's been five years since I can remember."

Ming Huaixi saw that the beggar was only about seven or eight years old. He didn't expect that he had already been able to remember things for six years. This should be caused by malnutrition.

"Will you follow me?"

"Will I have food to eat if I follow you?"

"Follow me and I'll make sure you have enough to eat every day."

"Okay, I'll follow you."

Ming Huaixi brought the little beggar back to the princess's mansion and asked him to go with the servants to wash up and change into clean clothes.

After the little beggar washed and changed into clean clothes, he came in front of Ming Huaixi. Ming Huaixi looked at the child. He had a very delicate appearance. No wonder his face was so dirty when he saw him. It seemed that he was a smart child.

Then Ming Huaixi realized something was wrong, "Are you a girl?"

"Yes, will you drive me away just because I am a girl?" The beggar nodded heavily and looked at Ming Huaixi again.

Ming Huaixi also looked into the beggar's eyes and promised her, "I won't chase you away. As long as you don't do anything to let me down in the future, I won't chase you away."

"Then what should I do in the future?" The beggar knew that there was no free lunch in the world and that one had to work wherever he was.

"Rest for the next few days and learn to read from the maid next to me. People in the princess's mansion must be able to read."

"By the way, from now on you should be called Zhaoying. Zhao means hope for beauty, and Ying means light. I hope you can shine your own light in the future." Ming Huaixi named her and let her go.

Zhaoying was very smart. She learned characters from the maid and memorized them quickly. Soon she could recognize most characters. Ming Huaixi saw that the maid had nothing to teach her and Zhaoying was still young and could not do any work, so he found some books for her to study. Sometimes when he had nothing to do, he would test her. Zhaoying could answer them every time, and she was particularly good at mathematics.

Seeing that Zhaoying was so smart, Ming Huaixi invited a special teacher to teach her, and Ming Huaixi personally taught her mathematics.

After arriving at the princess's mansion, Zhaoying's meals improved and she grew taller. When she first arrived at the princess's mansion, Ming Huaixi asked the doctor to check if she had any other health problems, but the doctor just said that she just needed to take good care of herself.

Ming Huaixi also asked the doctor to see how old Zhaoying was, and the doctor said Zhaoying was already ten years old.

When Zhaoying was seventeen years old, she was able to help Ming Huaixi deal with matters on the caravan. Ming Huaixi accepted Zhaoying as his apprentice when she was fourteen years old and gave her the surname Ming.

When Zhaoying was able to take over Ming Huaixi's affairs, Ming Huaixi handed them over to her and then went out to play. He did not return to the Princess's Mansion until he could no longer walk.

At this time, Zhaoying had already married and moved out of the princess's mansion. Her husband was Ming Haoran's eldest son Ming Chenghua.

Ming Huaixi felt that he was about to die, so he gave part of the things in his hands to his close niece Nian Nian, kept part as burial objects and took her into the mausoleum, and left most of it to his disciple Zhao Ying. After dealing with everything, Ming Huaixi closed his eyes and returned to his own world.
