279: Su Chun and His Daughter Are Always Giving Him Trouble

Li Guifei's dark eyes flashed, suppressing her surprise. She had fought with the Queen for so many years, and naturally knew her temper. Of course, she would not let her succeed. She responded casually, "Since the Queen said so, the Crown Princess should have done a great job. It's a pity that the Queen and my daughter-in-law are still a long way off. I don't know when I can drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea."

No matter how good the Crown Princess is, she is not your legitimate daughter-in-law, and the Crown Prince is not yours.

The Queen was stung by this sentence, but she told herself that Li Guifei deliberately said this to provoke her, and she must not be fooled.

"Li Guifei, now Zhangping Prefecture is in the moment of war, and the whole court is worried about the safety of Zhangping Prefecture. Compared with this, it doesn't matter if the princes marry a wife in a year or two." The Queen scolded a few words with displeasure, and then walked to the Purple Palace with a gloomy face.

Li Guifei: ...

Missed!

Since the Shu family was demoted to civilians, the queen has been more and more cautious in doing things, which is really annoying.

The emperor had just met with several ministers in the Purple Palace, and was looking gloomy. Hu Siyi walked in carefully and said softly: "Your Majesty, the queen and the imperial concubine want to see you."

The emperor frowned slightly, and then said: "Let them go back..." After saying this, the emperor waved his hand again, "Let the queen come in."

Hu Siyi responded and turned to walk out.

Concubine Li looked at Hu Siyi in disbelief, and then looked at the queen's calm expression when she entered the hall. She suppressed her anger and turned away.

The queen thought about Concubine Li's momentary distraction and anger just now, and it was as comfortable as eating an ice bowl in summer. It was really refreshing.

Concubine Li has always been the favorite of His Majesty. It is rare to have such an opportunity to make her uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, your concubine." Seeing His Majesty sitting on the throne, the queen immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Get up, Queen." The emperor waved his hand, "What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

The Queen saw that His Majesty looked much better, but she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Your Majesty, are you in good health? I am really worried."

The Queen said this sincerely. Her family has fallen, and the prince is not her own. She would rather be a queen with real power than a queen mother with no real power but good looks.

Also, although His Majesty favors Concubine Li, she is a queen who is worthy of the title.

The Emperor met the Queen's concerned eyes and nodded slightly, "I was just angry for a while, now I'm fine, the Queen is thoughtful."

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief and the smile on her face became a little bigger, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he will be blessed by God and will live a hundred years."

Of course, the Emperor did not believe in living a hundred years, but he was worried about the prince and wanted to live a few more years, at least to see the prince take over government affairs safely.

There was no need to tell the Queen about these.

After the queen expressed her loyalty, she talked about the affairs of the Eastern Palace, emphasizing on praising Su Xinyi, the Crown Princess, for her diligence and responsibility. Finally, she expressed her responsibility as the queen, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you, the Crown Prince is going to Zhangping Prefecture this time, and his return date is uncertain. Do you think I should prepare more things for the Crown Prince to prevent him from needing them?"

The emperor looked up at the queen and shook his head after a long while, "No, the Crown Prince is already married, and these matters will be handled by the Crown Princess. You just need to ask the Crown Princess."

The queen nodded, "Your Majesty is right, I think so too, so I called the Crown Princess to ask a few questions. Knowing that she has made thorough preparations for the Crown Prince, I feel a little relieved."

"The Queen is thoughtful." The emperor knew that the Queen was always thoughtful, but he was still very pleased that she was able to care about the Eastern Palace so quickly this time.

Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, the Queen said with a bit of hesitation, "I have another unwelcome request, please grant it, Your Majesty."

"Tell me." The Emperor was in a good mood at the moment, and he was very pleased with the Queen.

"I am worried about Prince Rong. He left in a hurry before, and there was no one around to take care of him. I prepared some things for him this time, and wanted the Prince to take them with him, but I was afraid that it would delay the Prince's important affairs, so I asked Your Majesty for permission." What the Queen said was true. Thinking of her son, she wanted to catch him and kick him three times.

The Emperor:...

Thinking of Prince Rong's heartless character, he did leave in a hurry at the beginning. The Queen was in the deep palace and could not prepare a bag for him in time. As a mother, the Emperor nodded and said, "Don't take too many things. The Prince should rush to Zhangping Prefecture overnight, and he should travel light."

The Queen was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor waved his hand, and the Queen bowed and left.

After the queen left, the emperor's expression became a little subtle.

He thought Su Xinyi would make a fuss to go with the prince this time, but she was so quiet. This was really unlike her.

The emperor glanced at Hu Siyi and asked casually, "Is everything okay in the East Palace?"

Hu Siyi's mind was spinning fast. What did your majesty mean? Could something happen in the East Palace?

He thought about it carefully and found that nothing had happened in the East Palace. He said, "To your majesty, the East Palace is the same as always."

Emperor: ...

Did he misjudge Su Xinyi?

This shouldn't be the case.

Before they got married, Su Xinyi always protected the prince. Why did she stop making any moves when the prince led his troops to the battle for the first time?

Hu Siyi looked at His Majesty's expression and kept beating in his heart. According to His Majesty's wishes, something should happen to the East Palace?

What should that be?

Hu Siyi couldn't guess His Majesty's thoughts and didn't dare to ask, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

In the East Palace, Su Xinyi, who was being talked about by the emperor, sneezed suddenly and hurriedly covered her lips with a handkerchief to collect herself before continuing to do what she was doing.

"Princess, everything has been sealed and put on the car, just waiting to set off." Forsythia was so busy that she was sweating, and she finally finished her work.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Just let the carriage house watch. Also, let Wu Shun know and let him have some snacks."

"Hey, slave, let's go right now." Forsythia walked out.

Su Xinyi thought carefully that nothing happened, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. According to His Highness's prediction, she would leave Beijing tomorrow. She had done everything she needed to do, but she still felt uncertain.

She should go along, but Concubine Li Guifei and Prince Xiang in the capital couldn't ignore it. There was no solution, so she had no choice but to stay.

Until it was completely dark, Su Xinyi did not wait for the prince to come back. He asked someone to ask and found out that His Majesty had summoned the prince, so he had to wait.

It wasn't until Xu that she heard some movement, and she immediately went out to greet him. Sure enough, she saw the prince coming back quickly through the night.

Yan Junchu looked at the figure coming out of Su Xinyi, and his steps quickened slightly, "What's wrong?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just waiting for His Highness."

Yan Junchu took Su Xinyi's hand and entered the palace, "Why are you worried about me? Before leaving, I always have to say goodbye to my princess."

Su Xinyi heard the prince's slight teasing and immediately changed the subject, "When will your highness set off tomorrow morning?"

"Maochu."

so early?

Su Xinyi said immediately: "Your Highness, it is better to go to bed early tonight. Even if you try hard, you won't be able to sleep for more than a few hours."

She raised her voice and asked someone to prepare water for the prince. She immediately went to the inner hall to get the prince's change of pajamas, and then pushed him into the clean room.

The prince reached out and grabbed Su Xinyi's hand, "Ayuan..."

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and her face slowly turned red, but after a slight hesitation, she followed the prince in.

She didn't know how long they had been apart this time, and she didn't want to upset his feelings.

Forsythia and the palace attendants were waiting outside. She faintly heard the sound coming from the clean room. Her face was expressionless as if she hadn't heard it. When the sound from the clean room gradually subsided, she led the people in quietly. He packed it up, packed it up, and left silently with everyone.

Su Xinyi leaned on the prince's chest, with a thin quilt wrapped around his shoulders, and the two slept in each other's arms.

It seemed as if he had slept for a long time, but also seemed to have only slept for a while. Su Xinyi frowned and opened his eyes, calmed down, lifted the curtain and took a look at Shi Chen and immediately woke up.

"Your Highness, it's time to get up." Su Xinyi gently pushed the person next to her, and she immediately sat up and got dressed.

Yan Junchu pulled him back and said, "There is still time."

"As the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, Your Highness cannot be late. Get up quickly." Su Xinyi ruthlessly helped the prince up. He should sleep no matter what. He must not sleep at this time.

Yan Junchu:......

What else can I do if I marry a daughter-in-law who understands the difference between public and private affairs?

He stood up and dressed with a smile. After Su Xinyi put on her middle coat, she immediately took the prince's clothes to change for him. Fortunately, she had rich experience in wearing men's clothes, so she was not in a hurry.

The armor was placed on the hanger, heavy in hand, and she put it on one by one. The prince's whole temperament changed when he put on the battle robe.

"Your Highness."

Zhang Jian's voice sounded outside, which was annoying.

Su Xinyi tied the last belt on the prince, looked up at him, couldn't help but put her arms around his waist and gave him a hug, "Your Highness, I wish you all the best on this trip, I'm waiting for your triumphant return, Congratulations to you.”

Yan Junchu lowered his head to look at Su Xinyi's worried eyes, and then remembered the book he had seen in the study basket that she had torn up several times. He knew that she wanted to go with him.

He lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips, "Ayuan, wait until I come back."

Yan Junchu glanced at her again, then turned around and strode away.

Su Xinyi sat in the palace and did not chase him out. She was afraid that doing so would make him worried and distracted.

I don't know how long it took before Su Xinyi heard Forsythia's voice, "Princess, it's time for breakfast."

Su Xinyi couldn't help but think of the prince again. He couldn't even eat breakfast in the back hall, and he didn't know if he could eat enough in the front hall.

She had no appetite, and was about to ask them to leave when she heard Forsythia say again: "Princess, Your Highness gave instructions before leaving, so that the slaves must serve you well and watch you eat."

Su Xinyi was angry, laughing and helpless, but a hint of sweetness came to her heart.

We cannot let His Highness down.

The three armies set off for the expedition, and His Majesty saw them off in person.

Su Xinyi could not see such a grand occasion and could only wish the prince well in the East Palace.

The next day.

Su Xinyi was handling affairs in the East Palace. The prince left the capital. All matters in the East Palace fell on her. She would not help with matters in the outer palace. But for other matters, Zhang Jian came back to her for instructions. She was very busy all of a sudden. The concern for the prince also disappeared a little.

After the morning court meeting, Su Xinyi was still on the board of directors when he was suddenly summoned to the Zichen Hall.

After waiting for less than a cup of tea in the side hall of Zichen Hall, she saw His Highness coming in from the side door, and she immediately stepped forward to salute.

"My daughter-in-law pays homage to her father."

"Get up." After the emperor sat down, he looked at Su Xinyi and asked directly: "I heard that you want to write a letter to accompany the prince on the expedition?"

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't even told the prince about her memorial. How did His Majesty know about it?

The first thing she thought of was that there was a traitor in the East Palace, but she thought it was wrong. If there was a traitor, His Majesty would definitely not ask her so directly.

What was going on?

She couldn't figure it out for a moment, but she couldn't hesitate. She looked at His Majesty with a bit of surprise on her face, and immediately looked away and lowered her head slightly and replied: "Father, you are very observant. Your daughter-in-law has indeed thought about it."

"Then why didn't I see the memorial?" The emperor felt that he didn't see Su Xinyi much. She was going to go, but why didn't she send the memorial up?

Of course, Su Xinyi couldn't say that it was for precaution. Wouldn't that be sending her head to His Majesty's guillotine?

She calmed down and didn't dare to hesitate. She immediately said: "In reply to your father, your daughter-in-law has written most of the memorial, but suddenly heard the news that you fainted in the court, so your daughter-in-law tore up the memorial."

"Why?" The emperor looked at Su Xinyi and asked.

Su Xinyi said: "Your Highness is leading the army to fight outside, so he must be worried about His Majesty's health. So, in order for His Highness to have no worries, your daughter-in-law must stay in the capital to fulfill her filial piety for His Highness."

The emperor thought of many reasons, but he didn't expect Su Xinyi to give such an answer.

It was unexpected, but it made sense after careful consideration.

The emperor's expression eased slightly, and he snorted, "My health is very good, so you young people don't need to worry about it."

Listening to the emperor's mumbling that was similar to homely, Su Xinyi's heart moved, and she immediately said: "Father will naturally live a hundred years, but as a child, it is human nature for His Highness the Crown Prince to worry about His Majesty."

With the Crown Prince away, of course she had to do her best to improve His Highness's favor in front of the emperor, and she must not let anyone take advantage of her.

Su Xinyi was thinking this way, and saw His Majesty take a reassembled memorial from the table, and she was really stunned at this moment.

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi's expression and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Very familiar?"

"Father..." Su Xinyi looked at the memorial with difficulty. What else did she not understand now? The only one who dared to take out the memorial she threw into the wastebasket and reassemble it was His Majesty.

She just didn't expect him to do this, and she didn't expect him to send it to His Majesty after reassembling it.

Su Xinyi thought a lot in her mind in an instant, but she still couldn't think of what His Majesty was going to do.

"You wrote about the trade in this memorial, and I have many questions." The emperor opened the memorial, looked up at Su Xinyi, and said slowly.

Although Su Xinyi had prepared it when she wrote, it had already been thrown into the wastebasket. She didn't expect it to see the light of day so soon, and her heart was naturally beating heavily.

His Majesty has always forbidden to open a trade account, but she just proposed it. Even if she was prepared, her heart was still beating like a drum.

It's useless to regret now. Besides, she has never been a person who regrets. Since she has done it, she naturally has to admit it.

She took a deep breath to calm down, and then said, "Father, these are my humble opinions, my own thoughts."

Your Majesty must not think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the same idea. She can fall into the water, but she can't pull the Crown Prince down.

"Tell me what you think. I have said before that the trade must not be opened."

Listening to the emperor's slightly heavy tone, Su Xinyi felt extremely stressed, but she couldn't retreat. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I know. The reason why I dare to bring it up is because the caravan entered the grassland for the second time and passed by many tribes on the grassland. Not all tribes are willing to fight. Many tribes are willing to submit to the Tatar tribes, not willingly, but for survival..."

Su Xinyi read a lot from her father's handwritten notes, and remembered every word in her heart, "The reason why the Tatars dare to claim to have an army of 200,000 is that they must have summoned other tribes. The soldiers of the tribe, this 200,000-strong army, how many of them can really fight and work together with the Tatars is still unknown, so my daughter-in-law thinks there is still a lot to be done about this matter. "

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi in surprise. She actually knew the art of war. "Who did you learn these from?"

Su Xinyi said: "I didn't learn it from anyone, but after returning to the Duke's Mansion, my family gave me all my father's relics, including the notes left by my father. The notes accounted for more than half of the matters related to the grassland tribes. I learned these from my father's notes. "

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, so just by learning from Su Chun's notes, you can say so many things?

Not everyone who reads a few military books can become a general, and not everyone has such a talent to know everything.

Su Chun is a rare child of destiny, and he didn't expect his daughter to be so outstanding.

The emperor knew that Su Xinyi was good at martial arts. As long as you are willing to work hard and endure hardships, you can always learn something, but these are different.

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi with a complicated expression, "Besides these, who else did you learn from?"

Su Xinyi looked a little confused, then shook her head, "Nothing else, only my grandfather asked me to read more and gave me a list of books."

The emperor thought of the old Duke of Qi and was silent again, "Go on."

Su Xinyi couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, and was more cautious at this time. She vaguely felt that this was a very important opportunity for her, but she couldn't guess what it meant.

But she knew that she had to perform well and couldn't miss it.

"My daughter-in-law believes that dividing the grassland tribes and dismantling the Tatar power is what we should do. Children on the grassland have to ride horses since they can walk. They grew up on horses, and their equestrian skills are very high among the soldiers of the Southern Qi Dynasty. There is a rivalry. If you use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, you will have to pay several times the price. My father also said in his handwriting that it would be beneficial to the Southern Qi to divide and disintegrate the Tatars. "

After listening to Su Xinyi's words, the emperor looked at her and said, "So you brought up the caravan thing at the beginning?"

Su Xinyi looked a little embarrassed and said, "My daughter-in-law is doing whatever she wants to make her father laugh."

The emperor snorted, "Did you know that your father once mentioned this matter to me?"

Su Xinyi was startled. She didn't know, and her father never mentioned it in his letters.

The emperor only said this, but did not mean to satisfy Su Xinyi's curiosity. He continued to ask: "The map of the grassland tribes that the prince sent me, do you also have some credit for it?"

Su Xinyi's heart trembled, and she immediately thought about it and said, "His Royal Highness was already doing this. Knowing that his daughter-in-law was also drawing maps, he just asked me to compare the two drawings."

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, that's not what the prince said.

Thinking back to the time when he decided to appoint Su Xinyi for the prince, why did he object? As a result, after the marriage was decided, Su Xinyi showed no mercy in claiming credit.

Humph, it’s too late to keep a child alive.

Although the daughter-in-law chose it herself, the feeling of watching her son eat it inside and outside is also very subtle.

"This time the prince went on an expedition and took this map with him. You have to know what the consequences will be if there is an error in the map."

Su Xinyi was shocked. The prince didn't say anything about this, and her face looked a little ugly.

Seeing Su Xinyi's change of expression, the emperor asked: "Why, you are not confident in the map you drew?"

Su Xinyi answered casually without looking at it. This could affect the lives of hundreds of people in the caravan. "It's not that I don't have confidence in returning to my father, but that my daughter-in-law drew it based on the information sent back by the caravan and did not go there in person. So I have no idea.”

The emperor looked a little better after hearing Su Xinyi's words, "Now that Southern Qi and the Tatars are about to start a war, don't mention the mutual trade anymore."

"Yes." Su Xinyi replied respectfully. If the emperor didn't mention it, she wouldn't mention it.

It's just a pity. If His Majesty could have agreed to open a market, win over other tribes with delicate relations with the Tatars, barter, or provide them with what they need, at least he could have curbed the power of the Tatars to make a comeback so quickly.

Making friends with distant people and attacking close ones, supporting the weak, and attacking large tribes like the Tatars. They were in a containment state on the grasslands, and the Tatars did not dare to be so arrogant.

"Go back." The emperor looked at Su Xinyi and said.

Su Xinyi bowed and resigned.

After Su Xinyi went out, the emperor snorted, looked at Hu Siyi and said, "Look, the minds of these two fathers and daughters are exactly the same."

Hu Siyi didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say: "The Crown Princess is extremely talented and looks like General Su. It's not surprising that she has similar ideas."

The emperor glanced at Hu Siyi.

Hu Siyi froze and almost knelt down before His Majesty.

Once General Su asked His Majesty to open a market account and even slapped the table with His Majesty, and he was almost harmed. Today, the Crown Princess does not dare to slap the table with His Majesty, why is he still being harmed?

The emperor gritted his teeth and said: "Humph, what do they know? How can it be so simple to open an account in the market!"

"Your Majesty is right." Hu Siyi said immediately.

emperor:……

"get out!"

The more I watched, the angrier I became.

Hu Siyi immediately bent down and retreated.

The emperor became even more angry.

Su Chun, Su Xinyi...

Okay, it’s really a father and daughter, let’s turn it over to him to cause trouble!
