"Wait, don't announce it, don't announce it."

Song Jinxiu quickly explained, "Father, I want to discuss this with you first. I haven't told Su Mo yet. Please don't ask him, as if I'm so eager to get married."

Eunuch Hai: Your Highness, what you said is not what you said?

Liu Renxiu frowned and looked at Song Jinxiu, "Is it really you who wants to get married?"

Song Jinxiu nodded. She didn't want anyone to know that she needed to absorb Su Mo's internal energy to practice, so she had already made up a reasonable excuse.

Song Jinxiu glanced at Eunuch Hai and Qi Chenghua, "Father, please ask them to leave. I have something important to tell you."

Eunuch Hai: Your Highness is too stingy. It was just that his whisk fell down just now. He was just too shocked. He was not making fun of her.

Liu Renxiu looked at Song Jinxiu's serious expression and waved his hand: "You two go guard the door."

After making sure that no one was in the hall, Song Jinxiu whispered, "My son's night training has been stagnant recently. It seems that I have reached a bottleneck. I need someone with deep internal strength to help open up a few tendons and acupuncture points.

It's inconvenient to use someone else's services because of the gender difference, so I figured it wouldn't matter if I waited another six months, so I might as well just get married. What does Father say?"

Su Mo is the Duke of Zhenguo, who leads an army of 100,000. If he wants to marry the princess, his military power should be deprived.

But the problem now is that the Su family has no one in the direct lineage, and the side branches have no talents with such capabilities. So who should the Su family army be handed over to, so that the transition can be smooth and not cause unrest?

Liu Renxiu said, "It will take time for Su Mo to hand over the military power. Your wedding should at least wait until he does."

Song Jinxiu was puzzled. "Your Majesty, we are getting married. Why should Su Mo hand over military power? The prince consort can still attend court. Does that mean the princess consort has to stay in the harem? Besides, Su Mo is very capable in marching and fighting. Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't lead the troops?"

Liu Renxiu looked at her and said solemnly: "It is a taboo for the harem to interfere in government affairs."

Song Jinxiu was silent.

This is indeed a thorny issue. Song Jinxiu frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Father, the Su family army has just gained strength and I'm uneasy about handing it over to anyone else. It's better for Su Mo to lead first.

Our Cangwu is not at peace now. The northeastern Serbs and coastal bandits are all eyeing us covetously. Besides, Su Mo leading the army is just like a son leading the army.

As for the saying that the harem cannot interfere in politics, this is actually because they are afraid of external relatives interfering in politics and want to prevent external relatives from becoming stronger and threatening the imperial power.

Su Mo doesn't have this concern. First, he has no parents or brothers, and he is a close relative of his father. His son will be the future crown prince, so there is no need to be on guard against him."

Song Jinxiu blinked at this point and said cunningly, "When the Crown Prince is born, Father will teach him personally. When Father gets old and doesn't want to be burdened anymore, we will hand over the Cangwu Kingdom to this Crown Prince.

When the time comes, I will buy a big house by the sea, plant flowers around it, and bring my father there to live out his retirement.

"When the time comes, every day when we open the door, we will face the sea and see spring flowers blooming. Isn't it beautiful?" Song Jinxiu became more and more excited. This was the life she longed for.

Eunuch Hai, who was eavesdropping at the door, said: "Your Highness, you speak as if the Crown Prince has nothing to do with you. What do you mean by handing it over to this Crown Prince? You are his biological mother."

Qi Chenghua: "Your Highness is still a child. She wouldn't think that this Crown Prince was born by a single person, would she? She doesn't know anything, and yet she's talking about a grand wedding?"

At the door, Qi Chenghua and Eunuch Hai looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.

Qi Chenghua: Do we need to find a nanny to explain to His Highness the matters between men and women?

Eunuch Hai: What do you mean? Are you looking for a young palace maid, no, a young guard, to give His Highness some premarital education?

Eunuch Hai and Qi Chenghua were worried about Song Jinxiu's marriage, but Liu Renxiu was moved by Song Jinxiu's words.

Facing the sea, are spring flowers blooming?

Liu Renxiu couldn't help but be moved.

He was taken away by the little girl to live out his retirement, and the whole business was safely handed over to the Crown Prince. By then, there must have been peace in Cangwu, right?

Liu Renxiu looked at Song Jinxiu, who was acting like a little girl. This child was always full of witty remarks and liked to talk about "painting a pie in the sky". Now he finally understood what this "painting a pie in the sky" meant.

Don't say, the term "painting a big cake" is quite appropriate,

This is the pie in the sky that he painted for her and himself. What should he do if he really likes it?

Liu Renxiu's thoughts drifted away, and he couldn't help but think of the three hexagrams that old Prince He Hexian and Xuan Zhenzi had drawn in the underground palace that day.

All three hexagrams are signs of the country's demise.

At that time, Xuan Zhenzi said, "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from Heaven, and man follows one. Although the hexagrams indicate the fall of a nation, Cangwu does not appear to be declining. One person plays a decisive role in this: the current eldest princess, Song Jinxiu. Could this be the fulfillment of the words of the Cui family saint: 'When a female emperor emerges, Cangwu will prosper'?"

Old Prince Hexian frowned: "If that's the case, then if the Song family girl becomes the empress, will this still be our Liu family's kingdom?"

Xuan Zhenzi stroked his beard and laughed, "What if her son is from the Liu family and she becomes the empress?"

Prince Hexian's eyes lit up, "You mean to let her enter the palace? Give birth to a son for His Majesty?" Then he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, there's a generation difference."

Liu Renxiu paused and said, "Enyi's son Su Mo can marry Kang Le. Their children can take Enyi's surname and be included in the imperial family tree."

When he said this, he had let it go. Any love between men and women would be in vain in the face of the fate of national destruction.

So he really treats Song Jinxiu as his daughter now, but this little girl is about to get married just when she has just started learning how to govern the country?

Why do I feel like girls can’t be kept at home when they grow up?

But it's better to get married, and marry sooner so that I can bear a crown prince. While I still have the energy, I will teach him how to govern the country.

Maybe one day I can go out with the little girl to live out my retirement.

Facing the sea, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. I have never seen the vastness of the sea. I really yearn for it!

Liu Renxiu pondered for a long time, and just when Song Jinxiu thought he would not agree, he said, "Okay, we haven't had a wedding in Cangwu for a long time. Let the Imperial Astronomical Observatory choose an auspicious day, and let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the princess's wedding."

The current Director of the Imperial Observatory is Xuan Zhenzi who is temporarily replacing him. He has a new apprentice who was selected from the students of the Imperial Observatory.

Xuan Zhenzi brought his apprentice to visit Song Jinxiu, the junior nun. Seeing that he had a clear and upright look in his eyes, Song Jinxiu gave him a rubbing of "Bu Tian Ge" as a gift.

The date chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was the fifth day of September, which was exactly the day Song Jinxiu came to Beijing last year.

The princess was getting married, and the entire capital suddenly became lively, with the streets and alleys bustling with activity.

Su Mo was even more elated and rode his horse at full speed, seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

He was busy preparing his dowry.
