After the prince enters the play

Chapter 279 Chapter 279: Su Chun and his daughter are just for him
Concubine Li Gui's black eyes flashed, she suppressed the astonishment in her heart, she had been fighting with the empress for so many years, she naturally knew her temperament, and of course she would not let her succeed, she seemed to respond inadvertently, "Empress empress If you say that, then the Crown Princess should be doing extremely well, but it's a pity that the empress and my daughter-in-law are still far away, and I don't know when I will be able to drink a cup of daughter-in-law tea."

No matter how good the princess is, she is not your legitimate daughter-in-law, and the prince was not born by you.

The queen was stabbed by this sentence, but she told herself that Concubine Li Gui said this on purpose to provoke her, and she must not be fooled.

"Concubine Li, Zhangping Mansion is at the moment when the flames of war are on the verge of igniting. The whole court is worried about the safety of Zhangping Mansion. Compared with it, it doesn't matter if the princes marry a wife for a year or so at night. "The queen reprimanded a few words with displeasure, and then took a step forward to Zichen Palace with a sullen face.

Concubine Li Gui: ...

Miscalculated!
Ever since the Shu family was demoted to commoners, the queen has become more and more careful in doing things, which is really annoying.

The emperor in the Zichen Palace had just finished seeing several ministers and was sullen. Hu Siyi walked in cautiously and said softly: "Your Majesty, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine are asking 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, turned around and walked out.

Concubine Li Gui looked at Hu Siyi in disbelief, and then saw the queen's calm expression as she entered the hall, she suppressed the anger in her heart and turned to leave.

The queen thought about Concubine Li Gui's loss of consciousness and anger at that moment just now, as if she had eaten an ice bowl in summer, it was really happy.

Concubine Li Gui has always been His Majesty's favourite, it is rare to have such an opportunity to make her feel uncomfortable.

"The concubine pays homage to His Majesty." Seeing His Majesty sitting on the throne, the Queen immediately stepped forward to salute and greet him.

"Get up, empress." The emperor waved his hand, "What do you want to see me?"

Seeing that His Majesty's expression has improved a lot, the Empress still couldn't hold back and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you in good health? The concubine is really worried."

The Queen's words are sincere. Her natal family has already collapsed, and the prince was not born to her. Compared with being a queen mother who has no real power and can only look at it, she would rather be a queen with real power.

Moreover, although His Majesty favors Concubine Li Gui, she is worthy of the name as a queen.

The emperor nodded slightly to the empress's concerned gaze, "I was just out of breath for a while, and now I'm fine, the empress has a heart."

The queen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and the smile on her face widened, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, he must be blessed by the heavens, and he will surely live a long life."

Of course the emperor didn't believe in longevity, but he was worried about the prince, and wanted to live a few more years, at least to see that the prince could take over the government affairs in a stable manner.

Just these, there is no need to talk to the queen.

After expressing her loyalty, the queen talked about the affairs of the East Palace, and praised Su Xinyi, the concubine, for her dedication to her duties. Finally, she expressed her responsibility as a queen, "Your Majesty, my concubine would like to ask, this time the prince is going to Zhangping Mansion , the date of return is uncertain, do you think I should prepare some more things for the prince, so as not to be needed in case of emergencies."

The emperor looked up at the queen, and shook his head after a long while, "No need, the prince is already a married man, these matters are handled by the princess, you can just ask the princess."

The queen nodded, "What your majesty said is that the concubine thinks the same way, so I called the princess to ask about it. Knowing that she has prepared very well for the prince, I feel at ease."

"The queen has a heart." The emperor knew that the queen was always considerate, but this time he was very relieved to be able to care about the East Palace so quickly.

Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood, the Empress said softly with a look of hesitation on her face, "My concubine has one more unfeeling request, and I ask Your Majesty for your permission."

"Tell me about it." The emperor was in a good mood at the moment, and looked at the queen very pleasing to the eye.

"The concubine is worried about King Rong. He went south in a hurry before, and there was no one around to help him. This time, the concubine prepared some things for him and wanted the prince to take them there with him, but the concubine was afraid of delaying the prince. It's a big deal, so I'm asking His Majesty for instructions." What the queen said was true, thinking of her son, she wished she could catch him and kick him three times.

emperor:……

Thinking of King Rong's heartless temperament, he really left in a hurry at the beginning. The queen was in the deep palace, and she couldn't prepare his luggage in time. The mother cared about her son, so the emperor nodded, "Don't have too many things. , the crown prince will rush to Zhangping mansion overnight, and he will follow with ease."

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

The emperor waved his hand, and the queen saluted and left.

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

He thought that this time Su Xinyi would make a fuss and go out with the prince, but he didn't expect it to be so quiet, it really didn't look like her.

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

Hu Siyi's mind was spinning fast, what does His Majesty mean by this, should something happen to the East Palace?

He thought about it carefully, and there was indeed nothing to report about the East Palace, so he said: "If you go back to Your Majesty, the East Palace will be as usual."

emperor:……

Could it be that he misjudged Su Xinyi?

It shouldn't be.

Before getting married, Su Xinyi defended the prince everywhere, why is she silent now that the prince is leading the army for the first time?

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

What should that be?
Hu Siyi couldn't guess what His Majesty was thinking, and didn't dare to ask, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

In the East Palace, Su Xinyi, who was being naughty by the emperor, sneezed suddenly, and hurriedly covered his lips with a handkerchief to gather himself before continuing to do what he was doing.

"Crown Princess, all the things have been sealed and put on the car, just waiting for departure." Lian Qiao was sweating from the work, and finally finished her work.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Just let the carriage and horse stables watch over it, and you can tell Wu Shun to serve him some snacks."

"Hey, I'm going now, servant girl." Lian Qiao walked out immediately.

Su Xinyi thought about it carefully, and there was nothing else to do, so she was slightly relieved. According to His Highness's prediction, she will leave Beijing tomorrow, and she has done everything that should be done, but she still has no bottom in her heart.

She should go with her, but Concubine Li Gui and King Xiang cannot be ignored. There is no solution for both ends, so she can only stay.

Until it was completely dark, Su Xinyi didn't wait for the prince to come back, so he asked someone to ask and found out that His Majesty summoned the prince, so he could only wait.

It wasn't until Xu Shi that she heard any movement, and she immediately went out to greet him, and sure enough, she saw the prince coming back quickly in the dark.

Yan Junchu saw Su Xinyi's figure coming out, and his footsteps quickened slightly, "What's the matter?"

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

Yan Junchu took Su Xinyi's hand into the hall, "What 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 leave tomorrow morning?"

"Maochu."

so early?
Su Xinyi immediately said: "Your Highness should go to bed early tonight, and you won't be able to sleep for a few hours if you are full of sleep."

Raising the voice to ask someone to prepare water for the prince, she immediately went to the inner hall to get the prince's changed pajamas, and then pushed the man into the clean room.

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

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and his face slowly turned red, but after a little hesitation, he went in with the prince.

I don't know how long this time we separated, she didn't want to break his heart.

Lianqiao led the palace guards outside, and faintly heard the sound from the clean room, she was expressionless as if she hadn't heard it, and when the sound from the clean room faded away, she led the people in and walked lightly After tidying up, he took people away in silence.

Su Xinyi leaned on the prince's chest, with a thin quilt wrapped around her fragrant shoulders, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.

It seemed that she had slept for a long time, and it seemed that she had only slept for a while. Su Xinyi frowned and opened her eyes. She collected herself, raised the curtain and took a look at Shichen, and immediately woke up.

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

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

"As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Your Highness can't be late, get up quickly." Su Xinyi ruthlessly helped the prince up, why don't you sleep, you can't sleep at this time.

Yan Junchu: ...

What else can I do if I marry a daughter-in-law who understands justice and separates public and private interests?
He smiled and stood up to get dressed. After Su Xinyi put on the middle clothes, she immediately took the prince's clothes and changed them for him. Fortunately, she was very experienced in men's clothes, so she wouldn't be in a hurry.

The armor was placed on the hanger with heavy hands, and she dressed him one by one. The prince in the battle robe had a different temperament.

"Your Highness."

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

Su Xinyi fastened the last belt for the prince, looked up at him, couldn't help but put his arms around his waist and hugged him, and he fell apart with a touch, "Your Highness, I wish you all the best in your trip, I will wait for your triumphant return, and for your sake You celebrate."

Yan Junchu lowered his head to meet Su Xinyi's worried eyes, and remembered the folded papers he had seen in the study basket that she had torn up several times. He knew that she wanted to go with her.

He lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the lips, "A Yuan, wait for me to come back."

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

Su Xinyi sat in the hall and didn't chase him out, she was afraid that what she did would make him worry and distract him.

I don't know how long it took before Su Xinyi heard Lianqiao's voice, "Crown 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 Lianqiao say again: "Crown Princess, Your Highness ordered before leaving that the servants must serve you well and watch you eat."

Su Xinyi was angry, laughed, and helpless, but a little sweetness floated in his heart.

You can't disappoint His Majesty's wishes.

The three armies set off, and His Majesty saw him off in person.

Su Xinyi couldn't see such a grand occasion, so he could only wish the prince all the best in the East Palace.

The next day.

Su Xinyi was dealing with affairs in the East Palace. The crown prince left Beijing, and all the affairs of the East Palace fell on her. She would not reach out for the affairs of the outer palace, but for other things, Zhang Jian came back to ask her for advice, and he was very busy all of a sudden. The concern for the prince also dissipated a bit.

After the early court, Su Xinyi was still a council member, but was suddenly summoned to Zichen Hall.

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

"Daughter-in-law pays respects to Father Emperor."

"Get up." After sitting down, the emperor looked at Su Xinyi and asked directly: "I heard that you want to write a letter to go out with the crown prince?"

Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't even tell the crown prince about her writing, so how did His Majesty know?
The first thing she thought was that there was a traitor in the East Palace, but after thinking about it, she felt wrong. If there was a traitor, His Majesty would definitely not ask her so directly.

That is how the matter?

She couldn't figure it out for a while, but she couldn't hesitate. She looked at His Majesty with a bit of surprise on her face, and immediately looked away and slightly lowered her head and said: "Father is very aware of the details, and my daughter-in-law has indeed thought about it."

"Then why didn't I see the notebook?" The emperor felt that he didn't see much of Su Xinyi, she really wanted to go, but why didn't he send the notebook?
Of course, Su Xinyi couldn't say that for precaution, didn't he send his head to His Majesty's guillotine?

She gathered herself together and didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately said: "Returning to the father, the daughter-in-law has already written more than half of the paper, but suddenly heard the news that you fainted in the hall, so the daughter-in-law tore up the paper."

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

Su Xinyi said: "His Royal Highness is leading the army abroad, so he must be worried about His Majesty's dragon body, so my daughter-in-law has to stay in the capital to perform filial piety for His Highness so that His Highness will not have to worry about the future."

The emperor thought about many reasons, but he didn't expect Su Xinyi to answer like this.

Unexpected, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully.

The emperor's expression eased slightly, and he snorted, "My health is very good, so I need you juniors to worry about it."

Hearing the emperor's family-like chanting, Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said: "Father, the emperor can live a long life, but he is only a child. It is natural for His Royal Highness to worry about His Majesty."

The crown prince is not here, so of course she has to try her best to show His Highness the goodwill of the emperor in front of the emperor, and she must not allow anyone to take advantage of it.

Just as Su Xinyi was thinking about it, he saw His Majesty taking a reassembled booklet from the table, and was really stunned at the moment.

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

"Father..." Su Xinyi looked at the booklet without a word, and there was still something she didn't understand. The only one who dared to take out the booklet she threw into the wastebasket and put it together again was His Highness.

I just didn't expect him to do this, let alone put it together and send it to His Majesty.

Su Xinyi thought a lot in his mind for a moment, but he still couldn't figure out what His Highness was going to do.

"I have a lot of puzzles about the mutual market written in your booklet." The emperor opened the booklet, looked up at Su Xinyi, and said slowly.

Although Su Xinyi was prepared when he was writing, but this preparation had already been thrown into the wastebasket. He never expected to see the light of day again so soon, so his heart skipped a beat.

His Majesty has never allowed to open an account, but she just brought it up. Even if she was prepared, her heart still beat like a drum.

It's useless to regret now, and besides, she has never been the one to regret, since she did it, she must admit it.

She took a slight breath, calmed down, and then said: "Father, this is all my daughter-in-law's humble opinion, and my own thoughts."

Absolutely don't let His Majesty think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has the same thoughts. She can fall into the water by herself, but she can't tear the Crown Prince off too.

"What do you think, let's talk about it. I have said before that the mutual market must not be opened."

Hearing the emperor's slight tone, Su Xinyi was under great pressure, but she couldn't back down, gritted her teeth, and then said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows, the reason why she dared to bring it up is because the caravan entered the grassland for the second time and passed by. There are 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 many of them from her father's handwriting, and remembered every word in her heart, "The reason why the Tatars dare to claim 20 troops is because I think it must have summoned soldiers from other tribes. It is unknown how many of the army can really fight and work together with the Tatars, so my daughter-in-law feels that there is still a lot to do in this matter."

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, she actually knew the art of war, "Who did you learn this from?"

Su Xinyi said: "The daughter-in-law didn't learn from anyone, but after returning to the Duke's mansion, the family gave me all the belongings of my father, including the letters left by my father. For more than half of the time, the daughter-in-law mostly knew this from the father's handbook."

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, so he could tell so many things just by following Su Chun's handwriting?

Not everyone who reads a few military books can become a general, nor does everyone have the talent to know everything.

Su Chun is a rare and favored son of heaven. He never expected his daughter to be so outstanding.

The emperor knew that Su Xinyi was good at martial arts, as long as he was willing to work hard and endure hardships in martial arts, he could always learn something, but these were different.

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

Su Xinyi looked a bit confused, then shook his head, "No more, only my grandfather asked me to read more and gave me a book list."

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

Su Xinyi couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so she was more cautious at this time. She faintly 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 not miss it.

"My daughter-in-law thinks that splitting up the grassland tribes and disintegrating the power of the Tatars is something that should be done. Children on the grasslands have to ride horses since they can walk. They grew up on horseback, and their riding skills are high. There is a rivalry. Taking advantage of one's own weaknesses and attacking the enemy's strengths, one must pay several times the price. My father also said in his letter that it is beneficial for Nan Qi to divide and disintegrate the Tatars."

Hearing Su Xinyi's words, the emperor looked at her, "So you brought up the matter of the caravan?"

Su Xinyi showed a bit of embarrassment, "My daughter-in-law is playing with an axe, making my father laugh."

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

Su Xinyi was taken aback, she didn't know, and it was never mentioned in her father's handbook.

The emperor only said this, but did not satisfy Su Xinyi's curiosity, and continued to ask: "The map of the grassland tribes that the crown prince sent me, is it also your contribution?"

Su Xinyi's heart trembled, and he immediately thought about it and said, "Your Highness is already doing this. I know that my daughter-in-law is also drawing a map, so let me use the past two times for comparison."

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

Thinking back to when he appointed Su Xinyi to the prince, how did he object?As a result, after the marriage was settled, she was merciless in taking credit for Su Xinyi.

Hmph, it's too late to stay.

Although the daughter-in-law was chosen by herself, the feeling of watching her son eating 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 will happen if the map goes wrong."

Su Xinyi was shocked. The prince didn't say anything about it, so her expression turned ugly.

Seeing Su Xinyi's face change, the emperor asked, "Why, you don't have confidence in the map you drew?"

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

The emperor's expression improved a little after hearing Su Xinyi's words, "Now that the Southern Qi and Tatars are about to start a war, don't mention the matter of the mutual market."

"Yes." Su Xinyi replied respectfully, she would not mention it unless the emperor said it.

It's just a pity, if His Majesty had agreed to open an account city, win over other tribes that have a delicate relationship with Tatars, barter, or provide them with what they need, at least it would have curbed the power of Tatars to make a comeback so quickly.

To befriend the weak and support the weak, to attack big tribes like the Tatars, is a kind of containment on the grassland, and the Tatars dare not be so arrogant.

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

Su Xinyi bowed to leave.

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

Hu Siyi didn't dare to say anything, he could only say: "The Crown Princess is very talented and looks like General Su, it's not surprising that some of her ideas are similar."

The emperor glanced at Hu Siyi.

Hu Siyi froze and almost knelt down before His Majesty.

Once General Su asked His Majesty to open an account, and he did not hesitate to take a table with His Majesty, and he was almost harmed by innocent people. Today, the Crown Princess dare not take a table with His Majesty, so why is he still in trouble?

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, what do they know, how can opening an account be so simple!"

"Your Majesty said so." Hu Siyi immediately said in a doggy manner.

emperor:……

"get out!"

More and more angry.

Hu Siyi immediately bent down and retreated.

The emperor was even more angry.

Su Chun, Su Xinyi...

Okay, it really is father and daughter, transfer it to him to add trouble!
　Today's update is complete, cute little ones, everyone has been waiting for a long time.
