"Your marriage to Aguo is not the matter between you and Aguo, but the matter between the Yongqiu Palace and the Taiwei Mansion. Can the Yongqiu Palace and the Taiwei Mansion work together to serve Your Majesty?" Xiahou Hui said lightly. His voice was not loud, but his words were righteous and stern, which made people unable to refute.

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Xie and Cao Zhi nodded in agreement, and Princess Deyang nodded, looking at Cao Miao with earnest eyes.

Cao Miao sat cross-legged on the couch, tilting his head, holding his cheek, and looking at the uninvited Xiahou Hui. He looked a little uneasy and kept changing his sitting posture.

Xiahou Hui was nominally accompanying Princess Deyang to meet Mrs. Xie and came to see him by the way. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that the purpose of Xiahou Hui's trip was him, his marriage with Sima Guo. She herself was not obscure, and she was straight to the point and pointed it straight to the point, and did not give him a chance to avoid it.

Cao Miao understood Xiahou Hui's mood and agreed with her analysis.

If the Yongqiu Prince's Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion become a marriage home, the biggest beneficiary is Cao Rui.

If he has a marriage relationship with the royal family, Sima Yi should not think about commanding the army anymore. He should mainly avoid suspicion. Similarly, if he has such a close marriage relationship with the Grand Marshal, one of the three dukes, Cao Zhi could only be the emperor uncle in the future, otherwise he would be ambitious.

In this way, Cao Rui had two more assistants, eliminating the two biggest hidden dangers, and the two had hatreds. The possibility of joining forces was infinitely close to nothing, and he made a lot of money.

In the face of such interests, the opinions of Cao Miao and Sima Guo were not important. With the king and father, when was it their turn to speak? Xiahou Hui came to explain to him that it was because he was a patient and gave him face.

"There is something that I don't understand very much." Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui with a smile.

"you say."

"Mencius said, "Sacrifice one's life for righteousness. He also said, "Why do you have to speak of profit?" Why do you make a profit when you open your mouth, but you are not as good as righteous at all."

"Isn't it righteous to be loyal to the king, filial to the father, and to sacrifice one's own benefit for the peace of the world?"

"But what you give up my interests and seek your righteousness, is this appropriate?"

Xiahou Hui stared at Cao Miao, his eyes becoming sharp. "Did Yunliang follow the Yang Zhu way?"

Cao Miao laughed, his eyes even more presumptuous. "Don't put a hat on me. No one has stipulated that it should be damned if you follow the Yang Zhu way. Of course, you can despise me. This is your right, just as I can despise you."

Xiahou Hui was so angry that he laughed. "I don't know what I did wrong, so I was despised by Yunliang. I hope Yunliang will give me advice."

Cao Miao came out for a while and said, "I'll ask you a question. You can answer or not. Just think about it in your heart."

"you say."

"Have your attitude towards you changed in the past few years you married Sima Shi? For example, after your father died of illness, after Taichu became a Diannong in Luoyang, and after his father was dismissed from military power."

Xiahou Hui felt confused and subconsciously bit his lips.

Cao Miao saw Xiahou Hui's expression change, and then smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about a question: If Taichu had not served as a Diannong in Luoyang, if Sima Yi was not deprived of military power and was transferred to Taiwei, would they be so enthusiastic and insist on marrying my daughter to me?"

"Yunliang, you're thinking too much..."

"I'm thinking too much?" Cao Miao interrupted Xiahou Hui. "I'm less educated, but I still have this intuition. Don't think about lying to me. Don't forget that I was the one who said that Sima Yi would instigate the enemy. It turns out that I was not talking crazy."

Xiahou Hui held his breath and slowly vomited it out after a while, but he was still depressed.

She knew that Cao Miao was all about facts. The reason why Sima Yi and his son were anxious to marry Sima Guo to Cao Miao was not that they valued Cao Miao much, but for their own interests. Sima Yi lost his military power, Cao Zhi and Xiahou Xuan were valued by the emperor. They needed this marriage to consolidate their status and show their loyalty to the emperor.

Sima Master asked her to end her separation so many days in advance and return to her main room, and her intention was already very obvious.

However, no matter what Cao Miao said, what she could do was face reality, just like Sima Yi and his son. Promoting this marriage was also beneficial to her. As for whether Sima Shi treats her sincerely, it was not important.

Like the marriage we are talking about now, her marriage was originally an exchange of interests and had nothing to do with feelings.

Xiahou Hui adjusted his thoughts and returned to his calmness. "Yunliang, this is all your own opinion. Although it is not necessarily all wrong, it is a biased person. The various schools of thought believe in which family of morality is your personal freedom. But you are not a careless hermit, you are a royal family member of the Great Wei Dynasty, and you are bleeding from the royal family. How can you believe in the way of Yang Zhu and refuse to plunder a penny to benefit the world?"

Cao Miao had to secretly praise Xiahou Hui was indeed smart and not easy to deceive.

"You are right. I am a royal family and should serve the country, and I cannot be ignored." Cao Miao spread his hands. "But I am a patient and I can't do it. So many royal family members do not serve the country, so they have to stare at me, a patient. What is the reason? Because I am easy to bully?"

Cao Miao said, his eyes turned red, tears rolling in his eyes, and his voice choked. "It is said that marriage is the order of his parents and the matchmaker's words, but my mother died at a young age. I don't know where she is buried now, so where would I ask her?"

As soon as this said, Mrs. Chen closed her mouth awkwardly. Even if she cared about Cao Miao, she was not Cao Miao's biological mother after all, and Cao Miao had never seen her in person for so many years.

Princess Deyang also softened her heart. Although she agreed with this marriage, she knew that many people could benefit from this marriage, including her, but Cao Miao was a sacrifice. If Mrs. Cui was alive, she would probably not agree to this marriage. Although the relationship between the two parties is not important, and what is important is the interests of the family, there is no reason to push the child into the fire pit. Some are better choices.

She now regrets marrying Xiahou Hui to Sima Shi. If Sima Yi hadn't lost power and Xiahou Xuan had the opportunity to release him, it would be hard to say what Sima Shi would treat Xiahou Hui. Even if Xiahou Hui didn't say it, she, a mother, could feel it.

Marriage with Sima is a very dangerous thing. This is especially true for Cao Miao, a patient with incomplete mentality.

"Yuanrong, why don't you... let's talk about it again, there's no hurry to do this anyway. Yunliang..."

Xiahou Hui thought about it and calmed down. "Yunliang, hearing is false, and seeing is true. Instead of believing rumors and being suspicious in the dark room, it is better to meet Aguo before talking. What? I can guarantee that Aguo is a good woman. If you marry her, you will never regret it."

"If you regret it, will you compensate me?" Cao Miao said with tears in his eyes and grievance.

Xiahou Hui couldn't laugh and cried, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, if you regret it in the future, I will compensate you." As soon as he said that, he felt a little regretful and felt that he was frivolous. However, he could not take it back, so he had to give up.

Cao Miao hesitated for a moment and said timidly: "Then... see you?"
