Empress Dowager Zhuang is a very friendly and kind old man. She worked diligently to manage the harem in an orderly manner, but strictly abide by the ancestral teachings and never interferes in the affairs of the court. Emperor Xinde ignored the government affairs and was obsessed with cultivating immortals. She did not interfere much in this. She often told people around her that it was her duty to manage the affairs of the harem!

If you want to talk about Empress Dowager Zhuang’s hobby, her biggest hobby is listening to operas. Another hobby is to personally train the banker’s grandson Zhuang Xiaoxian.

Zhuang Xiaoxian's entry into the city defense camp was arranged by Empress Dowager Zhuang. Zhuang Xiaoxian is weak and needs to be trained in the army to strengthen his body. For the merchant, he does not expect Zhuang Xiaoxian to establish any military industry. They only hope that Zhuang Xiaoxian can be healthy and safe, and feel comfortable. Zhuang Xiaoxian is the only scholar of the merchant, and the degree of his treasure can be imagined.

"Zhuang Xiaoxian has seen the emperor's grandmother!" Zhuang Xiaoxian knelt in front of Empress Dowager Zhuang and gave a very polite greeting. Empress Dowager Zhuang's eyes lit up and stood up and said, "Oh, isn't this our baby grandson Xiaoxian? Oh, I haven't seen our young grandson in a few days, and my body is stronger and my spirit is more energetic, and I seem to have been transformed.

Hurry, tell my grandma, is there any happy events? Why didn’t you see this for more than a month, and you’re a different person!”

Zhuang Xiaoxian was grabbed by the empress dowager and looked at him closely. This made him feel very uncomfortable and his face turned red in an instant. Empress Dowager Zhuang was even more happy when she saw Xiaoxian's appearance. She turned her head and looked around and said to the concubines in the harem: "Look at it, our old Zhuang family's children have grown up and are no longer the little kid who just pesters me for candy all day! Tell me, have you married a wife for us?

I'll tell you, Xiaoxian is the only seedling of our banker. If you have any way, you have to hurry up. After passing this village, there will be no such store, haha..."

After Empress Dowager Zhuang said this, many women around him burst into laughter. Zhuang Xiaoxian urinated and left the Cining Palace since childhood, so the concubines in the harem were not unfamiliar with him at all. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhuang Xiaoxian is the child they grew up watching naked!

Generally speaking, the princes in the harem have to leave the palace after they are over ten years old, and there are also very strict procedures for the prince to enter the palace. However, Zhuang Xiaoxian is different. First, it is because of the empress dowager, mainly because Zhuang Xiaoxian suffered from brain disease since childhood, and his IQ was almost the same as that of an ordinary three or four-year-old child at the age of ten.

Even though he grew up like this, his mind was almost the same as a child. However, over the past month, Zhuang Xiaoxian has made great progress. It is as if his ancestors said, as if he had been reborn and had changed someone! When everyone was happy to see the old lady, they naturally followed suit, and Zhuang Xiaoxian was even more embarrassed for a moment.

Zhuang Xiaoxian couldn't help but say, "Grandma Huang, don't you know? The new guard master of our city defense camp has taken office! Now the Cuju in our city defense camp is so powerful! The guard master Lu selected me into the 25-person list. At the end of this year, I will be able to participate in the Cuju competition in our capital!"

When Zhuang Xiaoxian mentioned Cuju, all the tension and embarrassment were gone, and the only thing he replaced was excitement. He was really excited. This was the most proud and fulfilling thing he had when he grew up. He thought that he could show up at the Cuju competition at the end of the year, so he couldn't suppress his inner excitement.

He didn't think about entering the palace today because he had just joined the 25-person list. He did not complete the training he had to complete every day according to Lord Lu's requirements! Compared to Cuju, entering the palace was really boring. However, the matter of the Emperor's Grandma is also very important. Everyone else in the entire dealer can be absent, but he must not be absent, otherwise the Emperor's Grandma would definitely be unhappy!

When Empress Dowager Zhuang heard Zhuang Xiaoxian talk about Cuju, her eyebrows were wide open and she said, "Okay, my Xiaoxian is really an adult. She can actually represent the city defense camp to participate in the Cuju competition at the end of the year. OK, okay! You are worthy of your name!"

Zhuang Xiaoxian said: "Grandma Huang, not every 100 households can participate in the competition! There are more than 300 households in our city defense camp, and only half of the 100 households can be included in the list. Anyone who has not entered the list cannot participate in the Cuju competition. Grandma Huang, I am on the list, but Lord Lu of the Guardian has chosen it!"

When Empress Dowager Zhuang heard this, she was even more happy. The concubines around her came over to encourage Zhuang Xiaoxian in various ways. The Empress Dowager liked Zhuang Xiaoxian, so naturally the women in the harem did not regard him as an outsider. In fact, the women in the harem were so lonely, and Cuju was also a very interesting entertainment activity for them.

Why is Cuju in the Dakang Dynasty so developed? To a large extent, it is because of the favor of the dignitaries, especially the court! The annual Cuju Conference is a huge prosperous era for the palace. Although many concubines cannot participate in it themselves, they actively participate in the various gambling games outside and the various gambling games inside the palace. It is no exaggeration to say that the teams participating in the Cuju competition have a fan base behind them.

As for a powerful royal family like the eldest princess Long Lingxiu, the princess's mansion has its own Cuju team, and then the Qin Palace, the Qi Palace, and the East Palace also have Cuju teams.

The Cuju team in the palace has the Cuju team, and the Cuju team in the city defense camp. As for other ministers, because the Prime Minister Dai Gao has always disliked Cuju, other ministers did not dare to rashly engage in Cuju team. However, now Dai Gao is old, and many princes and nobles, including the Cuju activities in the minister's mansion have become more enthusiastic. Not to mention anything else, the Lu family is secretly planning to build a Cuju team!

There are many topics about Cuju, and everyone likes to talk about it. Zhuang Xiaoxian is an expert in this field, and he talks very well. Judging from his appearance, he can't tell that he is a person with a brain disease. When Empress Dowager Zhuang saw this scene, she was stunned, tears flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but say in her heart: "The ancestors of the banker are good at it. The banker's only child has finally gotten enlightened and finally became an adult. The banker is not afraid of having no future..."

Everyone was talking and it was lively. The play on the stage was about to begin at this time. Suddenly the eunuch outside shouted: "The eldest princess is married!"

The eldest princess Long Lingxiu is the granddaughter of the empress dowager's relatives. The empress dowager's love for Long Lingxiu is well known. For a moment, many people stood up to welcome Long Lingxiu's arrival.

Long Lingxiu saw Zhuang Xiaoxian until the old lady gave her a regular greeting. She and Zhuang Xiaoxian were of the same generation, but the age difference was ten years. When she was a child, she bullied the little brother of the Empress Dowager Zhuang’s relatives, and Zhuang Xiaoxian was still talking about Cuju with the people around her!

Long Lingxiu giggled and said, "Oh, Xiaoxian, why are you fascinated by Cuju now? According to this palace, if you really like Cuju, go to my palace. I have the best Cuju masters in the world! You are in that city defense camp, hehe, what kind of imperial guards are, but in fact they are just a group of playboys. They can only rank at the bottom of the Cuju competition every year. How can you learn real skills there?"

Zhuang Xiaoxian was slightly stunned for a moment, and his face became ugly instantly. The eldest princess was very majestic. Not to mention in the harem, even in the court outside, the ministers were very afraid of her. Zhuang Xiaoxian was also very afraid of her. After all, the shadows left when she was a child could not be dispelled for a while.

However, Zhuang Xiaoxian pursed his lips and raised his head and said, "Your Highness Princess, we have changed into a new garrison! Now the Cuju in our city defense camp is no longer comparable to before! We, Lord Lu, are both wise and martial, and are both civil and military. We are not only the best talent in the world, but also can plan and win the battlefield. This time, Lord Lu supervises Cuju in our city defense camp, and the goal is to be proud of the capital at the end of the year!"

Zhuang Xiaoxian said this very fluently, but in fact, with his talent and knowledge, he could not say these words. These words were said by Mr. Su Qian of the City Defense Camp. Zhuang Xiaoxian admired Lu Zheng very much, so he remembered them all. Now he was memorizing them by rote, and he was extremely imposing.

He was afraid of Long Lingxiu, but when he said this, he unconsciously stood up. The garrison said that honor is higher than everything, and honor is higher than life. The city defense camp is a group, and no one can humiliate this group, and the eldest princess can do it either.

Long Lingxiu stared at Zhuang Xiaoxian, a little surprised Zhuang Xiaoxian's speech, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, I haven't seen each other these days, Xiaoxian's speech has become more and more clever, and her whole person has changed!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang said on the side: "Isn't it? My old lady originally thought it was strange. Now, Ling'er, you said this too, that's right! It seems that Lord Lu, the garrison in the city defense camp, is indeed a strange person. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the ability to lead troops and raise soldiers is indeed amazing!"

Long Lingxiu felt bad in her heart. This man surnamed Lu really thought he could go to heaven? Hehe, after slapped the princess's mansion in the face, he turned around and dared to refuse his invitation to him. Not only did he refuse, but he also humiliated him completely. During this period, Long Lingxiu was busy with other things and had no time to pay attention to Lu Zheng. Now, it's only a few days ago, this kid actually made such a momentum in the city defense camp?

She was very thoughtful, but after a few years, she immediately had an idea, and she laughed and said, "Xiaoxian, are you really not afraid of breaking your tongue? With the ability of your city defense camp, you still want to be proud in the Cuju competition? You are really dreaming!"

Long Lingxiu looked around and said, "There are so many ladies here. Tell me, can the City Defense Battalion be proud in the Cuju competition? How can the number of your Nasty soldiers in the City Defense Battalion be? "
