The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 46 46.Prince

Xiao Tingyi raised his head again, looking at Duke Wei with a pair of eyes as calm as water, without any emotion, and his eyes looked calm and indifferent.

Having been in the court for many years, he had never seen young talents and talented people, but he was the only one as profound as Prince Ding.

Duke Wei has known a lot of people, and his eyes have been exposed to poisonous fire. He can understand what kind of person he is with just a few glances, but in front of him, he can't even guess what kind of person he is thinking.

Prince Ding looked weak in winning, but he struck hard in the chess game, leaving no room for anything, which is evident.

No wonder he has been away from the camp for ten years and still holds the army of the king of Ding in the southwest firmly in his hands. He has flung away those embroidered pillows in the east capital thousands of miles away. Instead of playing tricks with such a person, it would be better to speak frankly, so after thinking about it for a while, Wei Guo spoke openly.

"I invite you to come over to your residence today. I really have something to ask for."

Xiao Tingyi held the sunspot in his hand and looked calm, neither answering nor expressing his position.

Such a reaction made Wei Guogong, who spoke first, a little embarrassed, but at this point, he could only continue speaking.

"There are two great-nephews in the old man's clan. They are both young and vigorous sons and daughters. They have acquired good martial arts skills since childhood, and they also want to serve the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, I shamelessly begged the prince to come to see them, and also asked the prince to watch their actions. In terms of enthusiasm, we can make an exception and let them get some training in King Ding's army."

Picking up the hot tea at hand, the tea leaves inside have just been passed through boiling water. They are floating up and down now, slowly spreading out, and the fragrance of tea is also floating over. The snow tops of thousands of mountains are green, and it is really good tea.

Even the tributes in the palace are nothing more than this.

Xiao Tingyi didn't say a word, but Yang Zhao, the attendant next to him, took over and said.

"The Duke may not be aware of this, but the recruiting office for King Ding's Army is located at the Ministry of War all year round. If the two young masters are willing to go to King Ding's Army to get some experience and sign up, they will surely stand out based on their abilities. "

It's as if he didn't say anything. How come Duke Wei didn't know about this? But if his grandnephew is really asked to sign up, he must start as a soldier. How many years will it take to climb to the position of vanguard or even general.

The Wei family is determined to help the Ninth Prince achieve hegemony, so military power is essential.

Therefore, if you can insert your own people into King Ding's army, it will be of great benefit.

"Yang Huwei was joking, how could I not know that the recruitment office always recruits people from poor families. I remember that the laws of the Jin Dynasty stated that if a family member joins the army, he can be directly promoted to the rank of captain. I don't know, Your Majesty. how about?"

Indeed, there is such a clause in the laws of the Jin Dynasty, but since Xiao Tingyi took over the Dingwang Army, this law has long been like a piece of waste paper. It is useless no matter what the identity is. Military merit has the final say.

Yang Zhao looked at Wei Guogong coldly, he was really an old fox, he let him take advantage of this loophole.

Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Xiao Tingyi speak slowly, his voice as sweet as a jade chime.

"As long as I, a man from the Jin Dynasty, am willing to serve the imperial court, King Ding's army will naturally not refuse. It is a blessing for the Wei family that the Duke has such a great nephew."

After hearing what he said, Duke Wei was overjoyed.

After thanking her repeatedly, the stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell a little.

Unexpectedly, the happiness lasted only a moment, when Xiao Tingyi continued to speak.

"It's just that before I took over the command of King Ding's army, I asked my brother for a decree, allowing people in the army to be promoted based on military merit regardless of their status. Because of this, the soldiers are invincible, and King Ding's army can sweep them away. South Vietnam. With the emperor's orders, Duke Wei is having a hard time being my king."

The smile that was still on his face just now seemed to be stiff now. Duke Wei was suddenly given such a big hat. After being slightly stunned, he immediately changed his expression.

"I see. Since His Majesty has made it clear, I dare not let the prince make an exception. Just pretend that I have never said this and bother the prince today."

"The Duke is so polite, it's all for the sake of the Jin Dynasty, so it's okay to bother me."

Xiao Tingyi took a sip of tea and spoke in a calm tone.

The whole person is smooth and unparalleled, but it is like a cloud. It cannot be poked with a needle or splashed with oil. It is very difficult to deal with.

Duke Wei had been trying to win over him for only a day or two, and he had not received any accurate answer after many attempts.

It doesn't matter whether this matter is done today or not, as long as the eldest prince's faction cannot win him over.

"Dong dong" sounded twice, and the servant outside the door reported that several princes had arrived.

"I know, go down, I'll be here right away."

Everyone knows what the Wei family's intentions are when they host a banquet for the city's dignitaries.

In fact, the Duke of Wei had previously considered marrying his granddaughter into Prince Ding's palace as his concubine. Unfortunately, after several attempts, nothing happened, and there was no sign of any trouble, so he finally gave up.

It's a pity that such a good destination is in the hands of God.

Looking at Xiao Tingyi in front of him, he still looked indifferent to the world, looking like a banished immortal. Duke Wei felt a little more regretful in his heart.

In the waterside pavilion, the guests have arrived one after another.

The gentlemen and ladies in Dongdu City each have their own circle of friends, and they stand together in twos and threes, either talking about the latest jewelry and makeup, or explaining that the beauty by the pool has an appointment, and she is not alone.

Liang Luo and Wen Yuwei, who were dressed very delicately today, looked a little worried at the moment.

At times like this, most of the people following Wei Lanxuan in the limelight were the two of them, but today it was Bai Sihan who they only met once.

A girl who is just a concubine of the Bai family has such skill and scheming, which made Wei Lanxuan look down on her. She also chatted with the ladies from several houses with a smile, and she blended in very quickly.

Wen Yuwei became increasingly dissatisfied.

Compared with Liang Luo, her life background is even worse. Even if her uncle's official position is higher than that of Lord Liang, it is useless.

She is just a niece, so many people are kind to her.

Seeing Bai Sihan taking her place, her vanity made her hate this Miss Bai even more.

The Feng family and the Bai family seemed to be her natural enemies. The power the Feng family gave her a few days ago was still firmly in her mind, but now the daughter of the Bai family took the limelight.

The handkerchief in his hand was rumpled. Looking at Bai Sihan's charming smile, he thought about how to destroy her.

"Yuwei, what are you looking at?"

Wen Yuwei, who was originally in a daze, was suddenly startled by the person next to her. She looked up and saw that it was her cousin Wen Mengsheng.

"Brother, I didn't see anything. Aren't you going to the academy? Why are you here?"

Wen Yuwei was a little confused. When she went out in the morning, she specifically asked him if she wanted to come with her, but he refused.

Why are you here now?
