After the reign of Prince Gong, Yixiao entered the study alone without saying a word, and told no one to disturb him.

After lunch, the people in the palace were a little anxious, but they all knew the temper of the Sixth Prince. Who dared to make things uncomfortable?

When he was beside the Hei Tianer, Princess Ningxiang Yuntong came back from the palace and immediately rushed to the study after learning about the situation.

When I opened the study door, it was pitch black inside. The strong smell of smoke made Ningxiang frown. A layer of frost suddenly hung on her pretty little face. I quickly pushed open the nearby window and put some fresh air in it.

"Who made Mafa unhappy again?"

Ningxiang understood that whenever Yi had something to do in his heart, he would go into the study alone to smoke alone.

"The girl is back!"

Yi lay on a Grand Master chair, closing his eyes and enjoying the stimulation brought by Tu Yan'er.

"How many times have you told me? If you are not in good health, don't smoke this again!"

Ningxiang snatched Yi's tobacco pot, knocked all the unburned tobacco leaves in the tobacco pot into the next cigarette, and then put the tobacco pot into the grid and put it away.

Yi seemed to be used to being forced to take away the pipe pot by Ningxiang. If someone else had changed, he would probably have his arms and legs broken. At this moment, he just closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the stamina of Tuyan.

"Have you heard anything from your aunt?"

Princess Ningxiang's eldest aunt is Yi's eldest daughter. Princess Rongshou Gulun, who was adopted by Cixi since childhood, was called the eldest princess in and outside the palace.

Rongshou has followed Empress Dowager Cixi since she was a child, for half a century until she died. As Cixi's adopted daughter, she had a widow who was ill with Cixi, so she became Cixi's confidant. She knew more about the inside story in the late Qing court than anyone else, and many people and things were passed by her now.

Ningxiang came behind Yi, and a pair of delicate jade hands helped him knead his shoulders.

"There is no special news. I heard that someone secretly took out the dancer to entertain guests while they were not at home!"

When he said the last time, Ningxiang pouted angrily and pinched her hands hard.

"Oh, my little ancestor, please be gentle, your old bones are broken up by you!"

Yi's shoulders were in pain, and he opened his eyes in an instant and begged for mercy to his granddaughter.

"Even if you dance, you didn't dare to let them have dinner together. Isn't this Li Hongzhang here? Mafa just wanted to show his conspiracy in front of him, so that he could be envious of it, and there was no other meaning!"

Ningxiang then relaxed and continued to rub his shoulders.

"Since you left the military plane, Li Hongzhang has never been to the royal palace. Now, the old Buddha has just sent out your magic weapon to control the mountain, and he came immediately. It's okay if you don't give him some colors to see it, but you're even warmly treating him. It's really unreasonable!"

Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, don't blame Li Hongzhang. Although he hasn't been here in the past few years, he has not paid a penny of gifts during the holidays. I have to thank him for not coming to find me! Otherwise, the Queen Mother might have tried to repair me, and maybe she will be sent to me to guard!"

Ningxiang smiled and said, "It seems that you are really outspoken by Mafa! If you are separated from your previous temper, you will never be able to understand this principle!"

Yi looked up at Ningxiang and protested: "Is Mafa that stupid?"

Ningxiang turned her face aside and muttered in her heart: If you were smarter, you wouldn't have let Lafayette stay at home for so many years!

Yi didn't understand what his granddaughter was thinking? He sighed: "I'm really stupid. If I know how to be low-key like Lao Qi, it would be more than that!"

Seeing that Yi was remembering the past again, Ningxiang was afraid that he would be sad, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "Mafa, why did you lock yourself in the house again today?"

Ningxiang's words immediately changed Yi's thoughts, and Yi said: "Today, the emperor approved Li Hongzhang's request to eliminate the Huai Army system, and issued an order to let the Beiyang Army trial the new army and prepare for the candidates to select the military training minister during the Qiu Cao!"

Ningxiang obviously knew about this, so she said, "This is a good thing! The Huai Army was so decadent that it was too decadent to lose all the face of the country. Sooner or later, this new army will have to start training!"

Yi immediately got up, turned to the seat next to him and sat down, looked at Ningxiang and said, "Don't tell Mafa that you didn't see it?"

Ningxiang didn't care, so she slowly walked to the seat next to her and sat down. She picked up a small tea cup in the tea tray on the table, and said lightly while fiddling with her: "Don't worry, I won't make a fuss for a while!"

Yi shook his head and said, "The emperor obviously wanted to take military power this time, but unfortunately Li Hongzhang avoided it. However, if Li Hongzhang was defeated in Qiu Cao, the emperor would definitely take the opportunity to take over Li Hongzhang's power and control the capital. Even if Li Hongzhang wins, the emperor would try every means to arrange his confidant to take over the position of the military training minister! Once that happens, the two palaces will definitely have a showdown!"

Ningxiang snorted coldly, disagreed with Yi's opinion, and interrupted: "The appointment rights of the second-rank and above officials are in the hands of Lord Lafayette, and Lord Lafayette believes in Li Hongzhang's loyalty. This errand of the military training minister cannot avoid Li Hongzhang's people. I heard that the candidate for Li Hongzhang's nomination was Wang Chenhao. As long as Wang Chenhao practiced his soldiers, this errand will be his! Unless-"

“Unless it is like that?”

Yi attaches great importance to his granddaughter. Since his son's death, Yi has put most of his life's experience, as well as all his efforts and love on Ningxiang. Therefore, Ningxiang has extraordinary wisdom at a young age and has become the number one talented woman in the royal family.

Looking at Yi's look of anticipation, Ningxiang didn't intend to say it, but in the end she said it.

"Unless the emperor can invest more money to win over Wang Chenhao! But the probability is too small! With Wang Chenhao's current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, he will become the future heir of Beiyang and make the queen mother happy. Unless Wang Chenhao is in a bad mind, he will not turn to the emperor!"

Yi couldn't help but feel disappointed and sighed: "Our Aisin Gioro's country is probably going to ruin the Yehenara clan!"

Ningxiang said disapprovingly: "Not it! Although the old Buddha has a strong desire for power, she does not have the courage of Wu Zetian, and will let go sooner or later!"

Yi immediately smiled bitterly and said, "What she said is! She will definitely let go that day if she doesn't move!"

Yi didn't want to think about these unhappy things anymore. At this moment, as Ningxiang's elder, what he really hoped is to see his granddaughter have a good home in his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Girl! Ronglu's family is about to arrive in Beijing. He has a young son named Balong, who happens to be the same age as you--"

Ningxiang rolled her eyes immediately and knew that Yi was arranging a blind date for him again, so she interrupted him and asked, "Is Ronglu you mentioned Ronglu Ronglu the infantry commander of the Five City Patrol Bureau you just promoted?"

Yi nodded and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Ningxiang: "He is grateful for your kindness of promotion. He should give his little daughter to Mafa as a concubine!"

"Nothing!" Yi pulled his face down, his face full of displeasure. As a result, Ningxiang did not shake him at all, and slipped out the door like a wind.

"Girl, I'll invite him to dinner in two days. See you guys!"

"I didn't hear it!"

When Yi chased to the entrance of the study, Ningxiang was gone, but she sighed helplessly and thought that she had spoiled her normally.
