After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 166 Fu Jingchen Holds Her in Her Arms

After a moment of silence, Su Wan couldn't help asking: "Were you with the Crown Princess just now?"

"Yes." Fu Jingchen didn't hide from her, and turned to look at her, "The Crown Princess persuaded me to go to Canglan Country."

"What do you want to do to persuade you to go to Canglan Country?" Su Wan asked casually.

"What do you think, madam?" Fu Jingchen asked back.

Su Wan looked up at him, and then said in a joking tone: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager has taken a fancy to you and wants to persuade you to be her husband?"

Fu Jingchen was silent.

Su Wan raised her eyebrows, "Did I guess right?"

"It's not what you think." Fu Jingchen narrowed his dark eyes slightly, "She wants me to be the prime minister of Canglan Country."

Su Wan shook her head, "As far as I know, there are only female officials in Canglan Country, and men don't seem to have much status. I'm afraid this is not a pretense to coax you to go to Canglan Country to become her husband."

Fu Jingchen paused, and looked down at her, "Ma'am, you're too worried. I already have a wife, so the Empress Dowager would not fall in love with a married man like me."

"Really?" Su Wan didn't think so, but she hadn't forgotten that just today, Zhu Qingfang chased him to the gate of the palace just to wait for him.

As a married man, he is obviously very popular.

Fu Jingchen heard her disapproving tone, frowned and said: "Madam doesn't seem to think so."

Su Wan didn't want to say more, she just asked: "Then did you agree?"

Fu Jingchen shook his head, "Of course not."

"I don't think the Empress Dowager is a person who will let it go." Su Wan said.

"I've made it clear to her, but it's you, why are you with His Royal Highness King Rui?" Fu Jingchen asked, with displeasure in his dark eyes.

Su Wan paused, and explained: "We met on the street, His Highness invited me to drink tea, I couldn't refuse, so I drank two cups of tea with him."

There was some scrutiny in Fu Jingchen's eyes, "Is that so? If Madam wants to refuse, King Rui will surely not make it difficult. After all, men and women are different."

"Since you know that men and women are different, didn't you go to drink tea with the empress dowager?" Su Wan retorted.

Fu Jingchen glanced at her, and said unhurriedly: "The empress dowager is not a woman."

"Ah?" Su Wan looked at him in astonishment, thinking she had heard wrong.

The corners of Fu Jingchen's lips twitched, "The people of Canglan Kingdom are different from our Dayan. Women are in power. In the eyes of the world, they are no different from men."

Su Wan: "..."

This nonsense makes people unable to refute it.

Fu Jingchen looked at her stunned look, the displeasure in his heart dissipated, and he was a little more happy, but he said seriously: "No matter what the reason is, Madam can't drink tea with the man next time."

Su Wan glanced at him, "Oh."

Fu Jingchen paused, "Next time, I will pay attention."

"What should my husband pay attention to?" Su Wan knew what he meant, but couldn't help but ask one more question.

"I won't drink tea with women other than my wife." Fu Jingchen said.

The corner of Su Wan's mouth twitched, "Don't talk so full."

Fu Jingchen frowned, "I will do what I say."

"What about Mother and Zhenzhen, why don't you go drink tea with them?" Su Wan asked with a suppressed smile.

Fu Jingchen: "..."

After reacting, he pursed his lower lip and said in a low voice: "Madam, don't do this again next time."

Su Wan knew that he was referring to her drinking tea with Zhao Tuo, and felt that he was really annoying. Didn't she already agree?
She turned her face away, her voice was a little dull, "I see."

However, in Fu Jingchen's eyes, she felt that she was angry and tempered.

He paused, a smile flashed across his dark eyes, and he raised his hand to touch her head, "Don't be unhappy, if you like to listen to Yuxuan for tea, I'll take you there next time."

Su Wan: "..."

Noticing the big hand covering her head, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she moved his hand away.

She was no longer a child, and his coaxing tone made her... very uncomfortable.

Seeing her awkward and cute face, Fu Jingchen suddenly felt itchy in his heart. He moved his fingers and was about to touch her face when the coachman's voice came in, "My lord, madam, the prime minister's residence is here."

Fu Jingchen paused, feeling a little regretful in his heart, and went to lift the curtain instead.

The rain outside was heavier than before. He glanced sideways at Su Wan, and then ordered, "Enter through the back door and drive the carriage directly to Lan Yuan."

"Yes." The coachman replied and drove the carriage again.

The carriage drove in through the back door, and arrived at the gate of Lanyuan in a short while.

When Su Wan saw it, she got up and went out.

Fu Jingchen stopped him suddenly, and said softly, "I'll go out first."

Su Wan didn't know why, but she still stopped.

Fu Jingchen got out of the carriage, took the umbrella handed by the driver, and then lifted the curtain, "You can come out now."

As soon as Su Wan walked over, Fu Jingchen moved the umbrella over her head and asked her to hold it, and then jumped out of the carriage first.

The torrential rain soaked Su Wan's embroidered shoes in no time. She held her skirt in one hand and was about to step down on the horse stool when the man's strong arm suddenly stretched out and hugged her into his arms .

Su Wan: "..."

"Hold the umbrella firmly." Fu Jingchen reminded.

Su Wan came back to her senses, quickly grabbed the umbrella that was about to fall, and looked at the man with complicated eyes, "I'll go by myself..."

"There is already deep water on the ground. If you walk by yourself, your shoes must be soaked." Fu Jingchen interrupted her lightly, then hugged her firmly, and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing his posture, Su Wan thought it was impossible to let her go by herself, so she kept her mouth shut.

Drops of water slid down Fu Jingchen's handsome face, feeling a little itchy, he frowned, Su Wan noticed it, and subconsciously wanted to pull the handkerchief, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

When they reached the door of the main house, Fu Jingchen put her down.

Su Wan looked at his drenched robe, feeling a little uneasy, "Thank you..."

Fu Jingchen glanced at her, then suddenly reached out and took the veil from her hand.

Su Wan: "..."

Seeing the way the man wiped his face with her handkerchief, she was momentarily stunned.

"Madam, I'm going to Lizhou tomorrow." Fu Jingchen said suddenly.

Su Wan came back to her senses and looked at the continuous rain curtain, "But the weather is so bad..."

"Is madam worried about me?" Fu Jingchen said warmly, with a hint of joy in his tone.

Su Wan was at a loss for words.

Fu Jingchen glanced at her with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After a pause, looking at the cloudy sky, his face became serious again, "The matter in Lizhou is more serious, I have to go to inspect and deal with it myself."

Su Wan couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb, so she had to say: "Then you pay attention to safety. By the way, who else is on this trip?"

Fu Jingchen paused, and replied: "There is also King Ning."

When Su Wan heard the words, her heart sank, as expected, it was still the same as in the original book, and she was also accompanied by King Ning.

Seeing the man's handsome face, Su Wan hesitated to speak.

"What does Madam want to say?" Fu Jingchen asked.

　Have a nice weekend~
