Chapter 252 Sauvignon Blanc 9
Starting from the next day, King Hao Ling's attitude towards Ling Xi changed.
He no longer let Ling Xi practice alone in the room as before, but brought her by his side personally, taught her everything, and solemnly introduced her to important officials in the court and the four tribes of Hao Ling, as if he was training the next successor.
As for how to gain the support of the four departments, that depends on Ling Xi's own ability.
After all, an heir who is unable to gain recognition from his subjects has no use for being an heir.
All the ministers saw clearly that King Hao Ling was going to hand Hao Ling over to the Second King, Ji Hao Lingxi.
The people who were most happy to hear the news were Rushou and Tan Mang.
As people who came from the four tribes of Hao Ling, they were actually very happy to see the Second Princess inherit Hao Ling.
The master did not have this intention before. Instead, he planned to train Xiyan Xuan. Rushou and Tan Mang were not very happy about this.
No matter how good Xiyan Xuan is, he is still Xiyan's man, not Haoling's man.
Although the second princess' mother was of humble origin, she was from the Qinglong tribe and a true Haoling person.
What's more, the Second Princess is extremely talented, a hundred times better than Xiyan Xuan.
With the best choice of Second Princess in front of them, why would they choose an outsider?
With the example of Empress Nuwa, it was not difficult for the Haoling Kingdom to accept the emergence of a female emperor. The four tribes were not old-fashioned people who could not accept a woman as an emperor. As long as the Second Princess was powerful enough for them to recognize her, they would strongly support her.
Therefore, regarding this matter, Rushou and Tanmang immediately wrote two letters and sent them back to their own tribes, hoping that they could support the Second Princess.
Ling Xi also knew her responsibilities, so she fully accepted the task assigned by her father. She followed her father all day long to learn how to handle government affairs and understand the situations of various places, tribes, and families in Haoling, including their customs, family genealogy, and other aspects.
She was busy all day long, and then she pulled Anian over to do the hard labor. As her younger sister, she naturally couldn't have it easy either.
In the future, she will be the Empress Haoling, and Anian will be her right-hand man. What can she do if she doesn’t understand anything?
Because of this, Anian’s days of sleeping until noon every day are gone forever.
What surprised King Hao Ling and Rushou was that Anian did not complain about being tired or suffering. Instead, he studied the same content as Ling Xi with great energy every day. He did not feel unhappy at all, nor did he feel bored.
This change surprised King Hao Ling and his companions.
Ling Xi was not surprised. Anian was now a girl obsessed with Long Aotian. How could she, Hao Ling, Di Shitian and Yi, feel that these things were hard and tiring? Of course not.
A month later, Hanzhang Palace.
Ling Xi held a memorial in his hand with a pen, and wrote and drew on it very skillfully. Then he handed the processed memorial to King Hao Ling who was watching on the side.
Anian, who was standing by, also took a memorial very skillfully, flipped through it for a few seconds, and then put it among the pile of memorials.
The two little kids who looked only seven or eight years old were handling government affairs seriously, just like adults.
King Hao Ling took the memorial handled by Ling Xi and wrote down his own opinions on the memorial approved by Ling Xi.
Looking at Ling Xi, who already looked like a young prince, and then looking at Anian, who was much more stable than before, King Hao Ling now felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.
His two daughters were both gifted. It was ridiculous that he had thought it was for their own good and wanted to prevent their future, wasting their talents. Fortunately, he stopped the loss in time, otherwise if Hao Ling missed such a young prince, he would suffer a heavy loss. With a loving tone, King Hao Ling called out, "Ah Xi, Ah Nian."
Sisters Ling Xi and An Nian turned their heads at the same time. The two sisters looked similar, as if they shared the same face, which made King Hao Ling feel dazed.
Ah Nian's eyes were round like a cat's, and with a bit of mischief, he asked with a smile: "Father, what's wrong?"
King Hao Ling smiled and said gently, "It's time for you two to choose your study partners. Who do you plan to choose? Do you want your father to help you choose?"
"Study companion?" Ling Xi's eyes were filled with doubt.
Prince Hao Ling looked nostalgic, with an unconscious smile on his lips: "Girls from aristocratic families will choose study companions. As princesses, you will naturally be no exception. However, you should be more cautious in choosing study companions, because they may be your right-hand men and important ministers in the future. Therefore, you should consider various factors and choose carefully."
Ling Xi understood that this was a way to win over power and people's hearts. Although the method was old, it was effective.
"Then father, can anyone be chosen? Then I want Rushou to be my study partner!" Anian said excitedly, his delicate little face full of excitement.
If Rushu became her study partner, would he have to listen to her and do whatever she said?
Anian thought happily, and the scene of Rushou letting her do what she wanted emerged in her mind. Thinking of this, she felt extremely happy.
Ling Xi knew Anian very well. As soon as Anian smiled, Ling Xi knew what was going on in her little head.
She tapped An Nian's head, her eyes curved, and she said teasingly, "It's a pity that your golden abacus doesn't work. As your father's disciple, Rushou will definitely be one of the most important ministers of Hao Ling in the future. He will not be your companion. Moreover, your companion must be a little girl."
Although Anian felt a little sorry that Rushou could not be her study partner and let her do as she pleased, she became happy again when she heard that her study partner would be a little girl.
She stood up and waved her sleeves, like a king ruling the world, with pride unconcealed on her lovely face.
"It doesn't matter. As the study partner of Hao Ling, Yun Shu Kuang, and Ba Ao, I will definitely hold her in my hands and pamper her. I will not let her suffer any grievances. She will be the happiest study partner in the Kyushu Continent."
Ling Xi: “.”
Ling Xi covered his face with his hands, and under his hands was a face that couldn't help laughing.
What on earth did Anian read in those novels to become such an immature person now?
King Hao Ling: “.”
What did he hear, Hao Ling, Yun Shu Kuang, Ba Ao?
When did his daughter change her name to this? How come he didn't know?
"Anian, what do you call yourself?" King Haoling looked incredulous.
Ah Nian was very proud of her name. She said loudly, "Father, I changed my name. I am now called Hao Ling. Yun Shu Kuang. Ba Ao. I decided not to call myself Hao Ling Yi anymore. It's too undomineering."
King Hao Ling: “.”
Anian was so casual that he was finally pulled back by Ling Xi and given a lesson.
You can call her whatever you want, but if others hear it, they will probably think that Hao Ling’s Third Princess is a fool.
