Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Princess Pei raised her hand and stroked her son's head.

"Mother, what agreement?" Pei Shijiu came over obediently.

"Three years from now, if Princess Feiluan can become a princess and hold a certain degree of power over domestic affairs, and you still have the same feelings, mother can consider granting your blessing."

Pei Shijiu sat up straight with a look of disbelief on his face: "Mother, this is unrealistic."

"How unrealistic."

"Mother knows clearly that Jian'er is a woman. She holds military power, which is already a great achievement. How can she interfere in internal affairs? The Emperor will not allow it."

Princess Pei said, "It's been a long time since ancient times for princesses to be involved in politics. If she really has this ability, the emperor will also entrust her with important tasks."

"Jiu'er, the Pei Palace has stood for a hundred years and is a wealthy family. If she wants my legitimate son to be her son-in-law, then she must show the ability of a strong man. The Qiao family has no foundation, so my expectations of her will only be higher."

"In this world, everyone relies on their own abilities."

Pei Shijiu was silent. The agreement that his mother made seemed so casual, but in fact it was very harsh.

Besides, he knew that Qiao Lian'er had some special concern for him, but that was all. She didn't have much feelings for him, and even regarded him more as a confidant. Would she fight for him?

Thinking of this, he felt a little discouraged and lowered his head slightly.

"My son, Princess Feiluan is still young and doesn't understand much about the affairs of men and women. Even though she is talented and knows these things, she has no personal experience, so she is still in the dark in this regard."

"When she grows up, she might value you more, or she might become indifferent to you. No one can predict the future, so don't hold too high expectations and just focus on yourself."

"At least I won't give up until she clearly says she doesn't want me." Pei Shijiu said without hesitation.

As strong as the sickle is, he is willing to follow him forever.

Princess Pei sighed slightly in her heart. Her second son was obviously more decisive and efficient. With his potential, Jin'er was afraid that she would not be able to compare with him in the future. However, she did not expect that he was such a romantic man.

Qiao Jian'er reviewed the results of military training every few days. She found that although the several captains she appointed were more capable than ordinary people, they still could not achieve the results she expected.

They are very proficient in conventional training methods, but formations require a strong ability to comprehend, and also require the captains to make a certain degree of innovation, that is, to integrate and understand, so that they can be able to respond flexibly on the battlefield.

This is also her requirement for the captain.

Qiao Jianer sat on the watchtower, looking at the innovative achievements of the captains below, frowning in distress.

If her full score is ten, she is required to achieve seven points in order to cope with the battlefield with ease. These captains only have four or five points.

"Leave it to me. I'll make you satisfied in a month." A figure stepped onto the watchtower, sat down opposite her, and also looked at the training ground below.

Qiao Jianer was a little surprised: "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." Pei Shijiu poured himself a cup of tea: "I thought you were too busy, so I wanted to share some of your burden."

Qiao Lian'er said nothing. She looked at the fifteen-year-old boy opposite her. She had been seeing this world for almost thirty years, so she naturally understood his gradually deepening feelings. The boy in front of her was handsome and high-spirited, but his mind was sincere and resolute without a trace of impurities. He was like a flawless and hard piece of jade, which grew warmer and warmer in her hands.

"I can handle it," she said.

He is still too young, and some of his things are probably just a spur-of-the-moment idea. At this age, people are more interested in pursuing new things. She will not treat it as forever, maybe just an idea for a year.

So, she hoped he would pay less.

"But I'm so tired. I hope you can relax a little."

"You have to maintain so many businesses, even overseas, and you have to use up a lot of energy every day. You also have to train your troops. If you keep going like this, you'll be exhausted sooner or later."

"Isn't the huge Pei Palace enough to keep you busy?"

Pei Shijiu raised his eyebrows: "Big brother is the eldest son, so he should take on the responsibilities. It's not a bad idea for me to live a carefree life and take it easy."

Qiao Jianer seemed to understand something and looked at him carefully again.

Seeing him looking at her, his eyes were sparkling like the shimmering light of a lake.

Qiao Jianer's heart warmed slightly, and she raised the corners of her lips: "Okay, then I'll see the results in a month."

Then she handed him all the formations written in a book. Pei Shijiu read a few pages and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face. He usually read a lot, including strategies and military tactics.

Therefore, he had the confidence as long as she provided an opportunity to take the lead.

"Is there anything you need me to do?" Qiao Jianer asked.

Pei Shijiu thought of Princess Pei's request and said, "Little girl, I think you can still display your talents in other areas."

"for example?"

"For example, some internal affairs of the imperial court."

Qiao Jian'er pondered, "Holding the power of internal affairs is certainly not a bad thing, but you know, it is not easy for me to achieve this. Now that I hold military power, it is already a special case."

Although she has an upward and unyielding heart, she has to admit that in ancient times, women had a much harder time.

If a man had her ability, he would probably be able to reach the highest position in his life.

"Then I'll go with you. Next year, I'll take the Juren exam, and then the Jinshi exam. With me around, you won't have so many worries."

Qiao Jian'er was a little surprised, because for a family like his, whose ancestors had blessed them and whose title was a prince, and whose family was passed down from generation to generation, there was no need to take the imperial examination.

Many children of powerful and wealthy people did not take the imperial examinations, as they had their own places in the officialdom.

Of course, if you have outstanding performance in the imperial examinations, your talents will stand out and you will go further. This is why most of the wealthy and powerful families still require their children to take the imperial examinations, and those famous academies are not good at it.

"Scientific research is not as simple as it sounds; it requires hard work."

"Then I will pay. Can't I even bear this little bit of hardship? Little girl, I don't want to hide under the shadow of my ancestors. I want the emperor to see my talents, employ me, and value me."

I also hope that you will think more highly of me——

There was a bit more admiration in Qiao Lian'er's eyes when she looked at the young man.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

She didn't want the boy to sacrifice everything for her. If he could really get a top score in the exam, it would also fulfill his own life.

A few days later, Dacheng came home and said, "The second son of the Pei family goes to his fiefdom every day to train Jian'er and his lieutenants, and he also reads books at the same time. He is really working hard."
