"Does Princess Yue engaged to Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor?" Nan Luo asked in a low tone.
Nan Si Qiao nodded. "The princes are all still too young, so it's impossible for them to be the one to take the throne."
Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo were silent. Indeed, they had learned about the political situation of the other kingdoms. Even though there were some things that were kept secret, there were still things that they could get from time to time.
For example, they knew that Zhang Xu Kingdom's Emperor had a lot of Imperial concubines. There were also many children in his palace coming from countless women he kept there. If not because of his outstanding ministers by his side, it would have been certain that his kingdom would have collapsed a long time ago.
The ministers were all mostly waiting for the young prince to grow up.
Once the young prince grew up, they might have a chance to become the most dominant kingdom.
Well, who knew what the future would be?
"I see. Will she become his Imperial Concubines?" Feng Ao Kuai asked after some consideration.
Feng Ao Si blinked his eyes. "Will she accept it?"
"It's impossible to crown the princess of another kingdom as the Empress." Nan Si Qiao smiled faintly. She naturally knew that in the midst of war , putting a woman from another nation as the Empress would put them in the dire states. After all, the woman could affect the Emperor's decision.
If her heart wavered to another kingdom, what would happen to their own kingdom?
Thus, the highest position that Princess Yue could possibly get would be Imperial Concubines. As for which rank, that would depend on how her performances in the palace and not the business of other people.
"Only the Empress will be put in the genealogy book." Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head. "Is it worth it to even get married there….ouch!"
Feng Ao Kuai kicked his brother's legs almost immediately when he heard what the other party was saying. To think that his older brother's intelligence didn't improve at all even after such a long time…. He really began to wonder how in the world did he and his sibling could be so different.
Nan Si Qiao twitched her lips and chose not to answer her son's inquiry. There were many people who were trying to get the Phoenix Seat. However, to be able to get the Emperor's heart didn't equal to them obtaining the seat directly.
After all, the person who held the seal would not obediently hand over the seat…
"Mother, let's just eat."
At the side, Feng Mo Xing was as silent as a mute. He was always ignored in the dining table because not a single one of them wanted to interact with him. In their opinion, he was not someone whom they wanted to interact with in the slightest bit.
He also didn't mind it.
At least, it was better than being bothered at almost every turn and corner when he was in his own residence.
"First Aunt, Father asks me to return for New Year. After today, I won't be staying here anymore," Feng Mo Xing informed.
Nan Si Qiao nodded. "Take care of yourself, Mo Xing."
Even if Feng Mo Xing was as twice as courageous as he usually was, he would never dare to talk harshly to Nan Si Qiao. After all, both Feng Ao Kuai and Feng Ao Si would not hesitate to beat him up if he dared to be insolent to their mother.
"Father will also return tomorrow, right?" Feng Ao Si asked curiously.
"Really?" Nan Luo was stunned.
Nan Si Qiao nodded. "Yes. You better train hard and make sure that your father didn't catch you slacking off."
"I have been training hard!"
Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai felt wronged. They had clearly toiling hard to train every single day. However, they always felt that their father would say that their training was not enough and arranged for more.
It was very hard to satisfy their grandfather and their father.
After that dinner, they went to rest. The next day Feng Mo Xing went back to his residence and the others only send him off as part of etiquette. Not a single one of them would miss him. After that, they hurriedly head over to the gate in order to welcome their father back.
"There's a group from the Capital City." Nan Hua looked into a distance and saw a group. Even though they were still a distance away, she had the feeling that the one who came must be Long Qian Xing and his soldiers.
"He's so fast." Nan Luo was gloomy.
Feng Ao Kuai snorted. "We'll see him later."
Nan Hua didn't pay attention to her twin brother and cousin. Her eyes were following as the group approached the gate and stopped there. Long Qian Xing was leading the group. Sitting on top of the horse, he looked like a commander who was ready to march into the battlefield.
The man seemed to sense someone looking at him as he glanced up. His eyes landed on the group of four children standing on top of the wall with several other soldiers accompanying them. His lips curled up to form a smile. "It's been a while, Little Lass."
"Commander?" The soldier behind Long Qian Xing felt strange when he heard their commander talking.
"Is it done?" Long Qian Xing turned his head and looked at the soldier.
"Yes, Commander. We'll be able to enter Wind City."
On top of the wall, Feng Ao Kuai frowned. "Did Commander Long look in this direction?"
"He's not searching for Hua'er, right?"
Nan Hua knew that Long Qian Xing looked in their direction, but she was too lazy to respond to these two's childish battle. She turned her head to the northwest direction, finally seeing the group of soldiers coming over.
"Uncle will be here soon."
