CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 398: FOURTEENTH PRINCE: I HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU_2

Even when Great Yin’s envoys came to Daxia for negotiations, hoping for a royal marriage alliance, there were actually some people trying to make it happen.

Despite Daxia having a dominant position in the relations among the Three Kingdoms, these scholars surprisingly were not thinking about expanding their victories but were planning to send royal female members for an alliance with Daxia.

They claimed that with the power of a single woman, two nations could befriend each other, avoiding the calamity of war, claiming it as great benevolence.

When Yuan Bao learned of this from Wei Qiqi’s mind, he was so furious that he wanted to hit someone.

Of course, this matter eventually did not succeed.

Emperor Xia, with great foresight, naturally took a dim view of such ministers.

Unfortunately, among the princes, even some agreed with this perspective.

Especially the Fourteenth Prince, who is currently the most hopeful to succeed the throne, also agreed with this view.

Originally, Yuan Yindi and Wei Wushang were quite approving of the Fourteenth Prince, but after he endorsed the marriage alliance, their attitudes towards him changed.

Don’t be fooled by Yuan Yindi being a scholar; he has read books on warfare and clearly understands the principle that an incompetent soldier can spoil a capable general’s efforts.

If the Fourteenth Prince ascends to the throne, then Daxia’s dominant position in the Three Kingdoms relations might be reversed sooner or later.

"It’s fine to love martial arts, but you must also read books!"

Yuan Bao didn’t mind his two younger brothers practicing martial arts, but even if they did that, they must read books.

"Big sister, why is that?"

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle never read books, but they have become army commanders now, haven’t they?"

In eight years, many things have happened.

Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi are developing well in the military, and through achieving several merits, both have now commanded separate armies. Moreover, both have been granted the title of marquis.

The military achievements leading to marquis titles for the two brothers have pleased Old Yuan for quite some time.

However, since they became army commanders, they have been spending less time with the Song Family and Mrs. Peng.

On this point, Old Yuan was somewhat displeased.

"Who said Second Uncle and Third Uncle didn’t read?"

Yuan Bao snorted, "They indeed didn’t read much in childhood but after joining the army, they didn’t lack reading books. Otherwise, how could they be army commanders?"

"A person with only physical strength, no matter how high their martial arts are, can only be a fierce general!"

"What is a fierce general?"

"It’s the person who charges at the forefront during a battle between two armies!"

"Fierce generals are always the first to die on the battlefield."

"If you think you’re tired of living, you can just practice martial arts without reading. I, as your big sister, can only burn more paper money and light more incense at your grave in the future!"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Yuan Shouqian instantly stopped talking.

He certainly didn’t want to die early.

According to his big sister, there were far too many delicious things in this world, and even spending a lifetime eating, one might not be able to taste all delicacies globally.

How many has he tasted so far?

Successfully suppressing his big brother’s unwillingness to read, Yuan Bao looked towards that Fengyue Building, pondering whether to find an opportunity to shut down this so-called Fengyue Building.

Sadly, it’s a four-story building!

In an era when building technology and materials were limited, constructing a four-story building was not something just anyone could do.

In other words, there are definitely influential details behind Fengyue Building.

Having just arrived at the Capital, even if she wanted to do something, Yuan Bao didn’t dare to act rashly.

After sending her two younger brothers home, Yuan Bao went to see Ruan Wan.

"Little Jiaojiao, did you have fun going out today?"

Seeing Yuan Bao arrive, Ruan Wan smiled and pulled her hand, bringing her close.

"Ruan, I think you need to find two professional tutors to get Old One and Old Two to study hard!"

"No problem, I will arrange it tomorrow!"

Ruan Wan completely accepted Yuan Bao’s suggestion.

"So, what happened along the way?"

Ruan Wan didn’t think Yuan Bao would say so without reason; something must have happened.

Yuan Bao didn’t hide from Ruan Wan and explained the existence of Fengyue Building.

"Ruan, why are those scholars so shameless?"

Even with an adult’s mindset, Yuan Bao couldn’t understand why these people were oblivious to their self-deceiving theories, yet they carried on as though it was the undeniable truth.

"Little Jiaojiao, why don’t you think hard about it?"
