The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 1116 Talking nonsense is also a skill

Xiang Yu was born into a family of military generals, and he understood the difference between generals and commanders.

But this was the first time he had thought about his grandfather's words, and his little brows furrowed.

She didn't rush to respond to her master, but instead met his gaze hidden behind the mask.

Xiang Sheng's training had also ended, and she had just turned around to look at Xiang Yu's small figure.

Seeing that Xiang Yu was stumped by her master's question, she realized that this was a psychological tactic.

But how could Xiang Yu, at such a young age, understand?

They were like brothers in the palace, and she needed to step forward to help Xiang Yu out of his predicament.

Xiang Sheng wanted to step forward to speak for Xiang Yu, but was stopped by his master.

“Miss Xiang Sheng, recognize your own abilities and understand that your training goals are also part of the training program. It is not the time for you to train now, so please do not interfere with Young Master Xiang Yu’s training.”

Xiang Sheng frowned slightly as he looked at the quiet crowd in the Cining Palace courtyard, including the servants and their secret guard masters.

She turned around, and her great-aunt, who had appeared out of nowhere, was also watching the scene calmly.

Xiang Sheng suddenly remembered that his mother had said that if she had the opportunity to live in the palace for a period of time, it wouldn't have to be too long.

Even if it's only for a month, it'll be enough for her to broaden her horizons.

It's the kind of insight you can't gain in the inner quarters, business, or the imperial court.

Xiang Sheng gradually calmed down and looked at the scene before him.

Xiang Yu was unaware that he had become the focus of attention; his mind was preoccupied with what his master had just said.

"Perhaps I am still too young, and my grandfather has not yet set such high expectations for me."

Xiang Yu quickly convinced himself, and the guard raised his eyes to ask the Empress Dowager for instructions.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager did not stop him, he continued to ask Xiang Yu:

"What does Young Master Xiang Yu want to be when he grows up?"

This time, Xiang Yu didn't even need to think; he just blurted out:

"I want my grandfather to be more powerful, more literary than my father, and more knowledgeable than my mother, so that if anyone dares to bully my sister, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Xiang Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, his chubby fists clenched tightly.

"But these are not things that can be achieved simply by growing up. If you don't study or practice when you're young, all that will happen when you grow up is that your age will change, and everything else will remain the same as what you are now, young master."

Xiang Yu frowned, silently calculating his age in his mind.

Everyone around was waiting; no one urged the little child to think.

"Master, I'm running out of time! Teach me quickly! Otherwise, I won't be able to become a great hero when I grow up!"

Xiang Yu looked serious and determined, not at all like someone who had just been crying.

"Alright, then Young Master Xiang Yu, you still have one more set of horse stance exercises. You can have breakfast after you finish those."

Without hesitation, Xiang Yu turned around and saw his sister looking at him. He gave her a sweet smile.

Then he stood in a horse stance and began practicing.

Xiang Huayue stood under the eaves of the main hall of Cining Palace, quietly watching this scene, a satisfied expression appearing in her eyes.

"Fortunately, it's not too late yet, and Xiang Yu hasn't been completely ruined."

Children are the future of a family. Families without a future are those whose descendants are not capable of upholding the glory of their ancestors.

However, if properly raised, even a child without natural talent can protect the family.

"With Her Majesty watching over them, the two young masters will surely grow up well and uphold the glory of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion."

Xiang Huayue thought the same thing, even though it was a burden for the two children.

But someone always has to bear this pressure and shoulder this burden.

Power and burden go hand in hand; the process may be exhausting, but power can nourish people.

Xiang Huayue stood in the yard with them until both children finished their practice.

As soon as Minglang arrived, he saw that the two children were covered in sweat.

"Did they just finish training?"

After Minglang paid his respects to the Empress Dowager, the two children obediently bowed to her.

Minglang took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off the two children's foreheads.

"Breakfast will be a while, go wash up first."

The palace maids took the two children away, and Minglang accompanied his grandmother to the main hall.

"We arrived a long time ago, why didn't you come in?"

Minglang knew she couldn't hide it from the Empress Dowager. When she arrived, she saw the secret guards that Master Fei had carefully selected giving Xiang Yu a lesson.

It wasn't convenient for her to come in and interrupt; she calculated the time and it was almost over.

She simply waited outside for a while.

"They're disciplining the children in the yard, so of course I have to step aside. What if they get involved and I'm also being disciplined? Wouldn't that be embarrassing in front of the kids?"

Xiang Huayue was amused by Minglang. Looking at Minglang's playful eyes, the affection in Xiang Huayue's eyes was almost overflowing.

"How could this be? It's cold outside. Come in earlier next time, so you don't catch a cold."

Xiang Huayue held Minglang's hand. Although she said Minglang would leave after spring, Xiang Huayue knew what was going on.

Minglang was waiting for the morning court session to begin so that his colleagues could properly hand over their tasks.

There aren't many days left.

"Now that Grandma has Xiang Sheng and Xiang Yu by her side, she shouldn't be lonely anymore. Grandma, please don't miss me too much."

Xiang Huayue reached out and brushed her bright, beautiful hair behind her ear.

"I will still miss you. You haven't even left yet, and I'm already thinking about you."

Minglang nestled happily in her grandmother's arms. Fortunately, the daybed was large enough for both of them to sit comfortably on one side.

Xiang Yu came over after washing up, and his curious eyes were full of desire to participate when he saw this scene.

Minglang saw through his little scheme, went down, hugged him, and sat down on the other side.

"I'll be leaving for a while soon. Xiang Yu, please keep my grandmother company. When I come back, I'll bring you and Xiang Sheng some fun things."

Xiang Yu nodded quickly.

"Cousin, you've gone out to play. When you come back, can you tell me a story?"

Xiang Yu wasn't afraid of people at all. She nestled in Minglang's arms, her big eyes sparkling, as if she was already looking forward to the stories outside.

"Of course, as long as you keep my Empress Dowager company, I'll tell you the stories of the journey when we get back."

It was no secret that Minglang was going on a trip.

Xiang Yu could have heard it from anywhere, and Ming Lang didn't bother to ask further.

"Okay, don't worry, cousin, I will definitely take good care of my great-aunt."

Xiang Huayue watched Minglang tease Xiang Yu, wondering how many years it would be before Minglang returned from this trip.

By then, Xiang Yu would have long since passed the age of enjoying stories.

Xiang Yu nestled in Minglang's arms, embellishing the stories her parents had told her and her sister.

Everyone knows that the stories coming out of his little mouth are somewhat exaggerated.

Xiang Huayue and Minglang listened with utmost seriousness.

They showed absolutely no intention of exposing it.

When Xiang Sheng arrived, he saw that Xiang Yu's ability to talk nonsense had improved even further.
