Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had been gone for a long time, but Zhen Yi was still unaware and kept thinking about the conversation over and over again in his head.

He suddenly realized that he had been drifting for a while.

The power of the Zhen family does not lie in Zhen Yi himself, but in Ye Feng.

If you go against Ye Feng's wishes, it would be tantamount to pushing yourself to the guillotine.

With a soft sigh, he was genuinely scared.

"Ta-ta."

There was a knock on the door, and Zhen Yi came back to his senses: "Come in!"

A young girl walked slowly in from outside.

Zhen Yi showed a soothing smile on his face: "Mi'er, why are you here?"

The person who came was Zhen Yi's youngest daughter Zhen Mi.

But Zhen Mi bowed lightly and said softly: "Father, our Zhen family is too popular. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. If this continues, it will definitely cause cholera."

"The daughter was touched by what her mother said, so she came to remind her father."

If Zhen Yi had met Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong today, he would not have taken Zhen Mi's words to heart.

But now.
Zhen Yi wanted to test his daughter, so he said seriously, "Mi'er, you never leave the front door or the back door, so how can you know what's going on in the court?"

"Not only are we related to your cousin Ye Feng, but all five of you are going to marry him. Could it be that he is afraid of the power of our Zhen family?"

"I do this for you, my father."

"If you have a child in the future and want to ascend the throne, how can you do without the support of the court?"

"Isn't it all for you that I do this?"

"Back off immediately and don't let your imagination run wild."

Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes turned and she shook her head: "Father, this is wrong."

"Since ancient times, the emperor has been most afraid of forming cliques and factions. No matter how close the relationship is, as long as it threatens the emperor's power, there is only one way out, which is death."

"Not to mention that we don't even have the position of Queen right now, and we don't even have the Crown Prince, so what if we have it?"

"Isn't it that the emperor can abolish it with just one word?"

"So father, don't be too foolish and get involved with those noble families and court officials."

"If we are not careful, the Zhen family may be in an irreparable situation."

Zhen Yi's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that Ye Feng is going to attack me again?"

"Has he forgotten the help my Zhen family gave him? Does he not care about the five of you?"

Zhen Mi said, "Father is confused."

"Humanity is useful, but every bit of it is less useful."

"When the last bit of family affection is abandoned, who can stop the emperor's butcher knife?"

"Don't forget, my cousin is only twenty years old now, and his talent in martial arts is unmatched. He has even broken through to the realm of a divine general."

"How long he lived is unknown."

"For so many years, no one knows what the Zhen family will be involved in. Why do we have to exhaust his patience now?" "Father, think twice!"

A smile appeared on Zhen Yi's face. He suddenly realized that his little daughter saw things more accurately.

He had originally been thinking about gathering his five daughters together someday and letting them support one of them. That way, no matter whether the position of queen could fall among the five of them, they would have the capital to compete with each other.

But now that I think about it, no matter the eldest, the second, the third or the fourth child, they are all very smart, but have almost no political experience, and are not as good as me, the youngest daughter.

"Just now, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong came to see me and advised my Zhen family to understand the current situation."

"It's the same as yours. At that moment, I realized that power is just like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. Others can take it away, but they can also give it to others."

"It's better to be quiet, otherwise you will definitely get into trouble."

"I didn't expect that you, a girl, could see these problems, even more clearly than I can see them."

"If you were a man, you would have made a difference in the prosperous empire. It's a pity."

Zhen Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Father, how can my daughter, with this little ability, be accepted into a prestigious place?"

"Don't make fun of your daughter."

Zhen Yi waved her hand: "We are father and daughter, so let's talk today. Don't hide it on purpose."

"Let me ask you a question. Can my Zhen family fight for the position of queen?"

Zhen Mi hesitated and said, "Father, my cousin doesn't have many women. My Zhen family has five daughters, and we are closely related to him. Logically, the daughter of my Zhen family has the highest probability of becoming the queen."

"But the greater the chance, the more you must not show up, otherwise it will only bring disaster."

"Sister Cai Yan is the first person to be engaged to my cousin. She is virtuous, talented and beautiful. The Cai family does not fight for her, so she has the best chance."

"Therefore, the Zhen family cannot compete and should even keep a low profile."

Zhen Yi sighed, his eyes flickering with complexity: "It's all my fault that I have been too carefree recently. I haven't figured out such a simple problem."

"You missed the opportunity for nothing."

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Father, don't think this is a bad thing."

"Good fortunes are the root of misfortunes, and misfortunes are the root of good fortunes!"

"It's not wrong to lie dormant for a while and avoid the sharp edge."

"My cousin doesn't even have a son. Now is the prime of his life. How can we predict what will happen in the future?"

"We can take what the emperor gives us, but we cannot fight for what the emperor doesn't give us."

"As long as the Zhen family remembers this, they can ensure prosperity for generations."

"Otherwise, becoming a crown prince too early will only attract attention and make people wary of him."

Zhen Yi clapped his hands and laughed: "My daughter is truly the phoenix of our family!"

"Father is very pleased!"

"Hahahaha!"
