Chapter 146 The Spirit that a God of War Should Have

Soon after Shen Shian left, Princess Pingyao arrived at the Regent's Palace.

Qin Yumo also came with her.

However, after Qin Yumo sent her to the palace, he went to the palace.

Shen Ning ordered someone to take her to the flower hall and prepared sour plum juice for her: "You are pregnant now, so drink less tea."

Princess Pingyao raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you surprised?"

"What's strange?" Shen Ning sat down on the side and asked with a smile, "Why are you pregnant?"

Isn't it normal for a woman to get pregnant after getting married?

What's so strange?

"After returning from her trip to Nanzhao, the aunt of the emperor is a little different from before." Princess Pingyao looked at Shen Ning's complexion, "She is not as cold as before, and no longer keeps people at a distance. Her eyes have become much calmer, as if she has more emotions..."

"She has become like a normal person, right? Why is it so complicated?" Shen Ning smiled lightly, revealing a bit of indifference, "People will always change. Time can make people neither human nor ghost, and it can also make a person who is about to become a ghost become a normal person again."

Of course, it is not time that really changes people, but what happened during this period of time.

In the two years that she could not bear to look back on, she turned from a human into a ghost.

In the past six months, she turned from a ghost into a human again.

Shen Ning felt that in just over twenty years, her life was full of ups and downs and mysterious.

Princess Pingyao nodded slowly: "It's good to be a human. Although life is only a few decades long, sooner or later we will all become ghosts, but anyone who can choose still hopes to be a human for a longer time."

As she said, she smiled: "After all, there are still many beautiful scenes in the world that are worth experiencing."

Shen Ning hummed, and his eyes fell on Princess Pingyao's abdomen: "Are you planning to settle down?"

Princess Pingyao nodded: "The son-in-law I chose is not very promising, but it's good that he is not very promising, not ambitious, not very utilitarian, and rare is that he has a sincere heart. In the past few months when you and the emperor's uncle were away, he accomplished several things, all related to people's livelihood."

Princess Pingyao's impression of noble sons of noble families is to eat, drink, play, pretend to be elegant, or study to get fame and honor for their ancestors.

She is also used to the thinking and cognition of these people.

After all, she herself has this kind of temper, only caring about her own happiness, who cares about the life and death of others?

However, Qin Yumo is different.

At first, he was self-abased and did not dare to show much desire. He had no idea about entering the officialdom. He was even timid and cautious, and was always worried. He made Princess Pingyao impatient several times and wanted to beat him up.

But after entering the officialdom, he performed well.

He was cautious at first to avoid trouble. Later, he became bolder and knew that the regent was really using him, so he began to take the initiative to do things that were beneficial to the people's livelihood.

If there were officials in the court who secretly created obstacles for him, he would tell Princess Pingyao his thoughts and judgments after returning home, and then Princess Pingyao would deal with the officials who created obstacles.

After several times, the officials in the court could not believe it.

The people who served in the court had no integrity at all.

He complained at every turn, and complained to women.

How did he get out of it?

Fortunately, after the officials understood Qin Yumo's temper, although they secretly disdained it, they could do nothing about it. It was just that there was no impenetrable wall in the court, and these words were passed on to the ears of some nobles in the capital.

Occasionally, young men would gather in groups of three or five to drink tea and write poems. When Qin Yumo was invited, there would inevitably be some sour words directed at him during the meal, and some people would deliberately mock Qin Yumo for being a gigolo.

Fortunately, Qin Yumo didn't care what others said about him.

Princess Pingyao lazily leaned on the beauty chair, pinched some fish food with her fingertips and sprinkled it, watching the koi in the lake scramble for food: "Last time, I heard someone ridicule him, and I thought it would hurt his self-esteem. I was about to teach the man a lesson, but I didn't expect him to fight back."

At this point, she raised a smile at the corner of her mouth: "The fightback was very good."

Qin Yumo said, "Only those who want to eat gigolos but can't eat gigolos will be so sour. I am happy to eat gigolos, and the princess likes me like this gigolo."

So righteous, so confident, there is no inferiority of being ridiculed and humiliated.

At that moment, Princess Pingyao realized that Qin Yumo had changed after entering the officialdom. He became confident and no longer as self-abased and sensitive as before.

What made him confident was not his official position and power, but that he could do what he wanted to do. No matter what method he used, the result was satisfactory to him.

He felt that he was doing great things for the country and the people, and these things were often done with faith.

"In fact, you have changed too." Shen Ning looked at Princess Pingyao's smiling face, "When have you ever talked about someone so eloquently before?"

Princess Pingyao was silent, then sighed: "I used to worry about wronging him, but I didn't expect him to adapt so quickly. Now he has calmly accepted the fact of being a gigolo."

"So do you think you can have a child?"

Pingyao hummed: "I talked to him. He wanted to do more things that benefit the people, but he didn't have enough power. He hoped that I could help him. I have been unscrupulous all my life and never thought about doing many good deeds. I didn't expect that I would have to fulfill the wishes of others to do good deeds at the end."

"It's good, isn't it?" Shen Ning smiled, "Regardless of men and women, it is a happy thing to be able to rely on others."

Princess Pingyao nodded slowly: "I didn't expect that he would undergo such a big change in just a few months. It is true that the human spirit needs faith to support it."

The two of them chatted leisurely, like close friends they hadn't seen for many years.

After talking about Qin Yumo's affairs, the eldest princess of Pingyao said seriously: "Has the emperor decided to proclaim himself emperor?"

"That's the idea." Shen Ning nodded, "Not only do we want to be emperor, we also plan to do something more meaningful."

Princess Pingyao's heart moved slightly: "For example?"

"Unify the world."

"Domineering." Princess Pingyao stroked her hands, "This is the courage that the God of War should have."
