There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 478 is not strong enough
Wang Sima's method is very simple.

To put it simply, it was to use the [-] Liao troops captured by Su Xian in Youzhou to obtain urgently needed food and grass from the Liao Kingdom to fill the gap.

Li Youqing was overjoyed when she heard the words, this is indeed a good way.

The monarch and his ministers discussed for a long time in the tent and finalized all the details, including how to communicate with the Liao Kingdom, how much food and grass could be exchanged for one prisoner, and whether the truth about Daliang's food shortage could be revealed, etc.

"I'll ask Wang Sima to personally supervise this matter. You must be careful and don't reveal the true and false facts of our company." Li Youqing looked at Wang Sima and said solemnly.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. This official knows how powerful he is." Wang Sima accepted the order.

Zhou Ji's office suddenly interrupted: "Your Highness, Su Chenyi has always been resourceful and has solved countless difficult problems. Why not invite him to come and consult with us?"

Li Youqing thought for a long time and said slowly:

"Su Zhenyi is about to get married, and Wang Sima's method is very good. It's better not to disturb Su Zhenyi yet... Okay, this matter is the top priority at the moment. You can supervise it immediately as long as you wait, and there will be no mistakes!"

"The next officer is waiting for orders."

"..."

After Wang Sima, Zhou Jishi and other subordinate officials exited the big tent, Li Youqing rubbed the center of her brows, took another sip of sweet Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, and picked up the private message sent with the imperial edict.

The envelope was written with the four characters "Your Majesty's Personal Address".

Li Youqing couldn't help but sit upright. This letter must have been written in the Queen's tone, but the person who wrote it was not the Queen, but Nangong Wan'er, known as the "Internal Prime Minister".

Opening the envelope, taking out the letter paper, Li Youqing looked carefully from the beginning...

"It's just as I expected." After reading the letter, she looked stunned, as if she had already guessed the content of the letter.

Qiu Dianjun and Dong Dianjun stood on the left and right. After hearing the words, they hurriedly bowed towards her, as if listening. Qiu Dianjun asked: "Princess, what did the letter say?"

"Su consulted on the matter of becoming a marquis and joining the inner guard. Your Majesty neither agreed nor rejected it." Li Youqing stuffed the letter into the envelope.

"Then...what does your Majesty mean?" Dong Dianjun asked.

Li Youqing pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer. Instead, she handed the envelope to Qiu Dianjun and ordered: "After you go down, read this letter carefully, re-copy the first half, and then send it to Su Consultation."

Qiu Dianjun took it and asked, "Why did you only give the first half to Su Zhenyi?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Li Youqing's eyes, and he said calmly: "Wan'er revealed in the second half of the letter that His Majesty said...it's too small to be tight enough to wear!"

After Qiu Dian's army retreated, Dong Dian's army asked curiously: "The princess just said that she is too young and not strong enough, what is it? Why is she so strong?"

Li Youqing twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, held her forehead and said:
"I'll give you a task now."

"Princess, please tell me."

"..."

at the same time.

Yingzhou City.

Su Xian became more and more anxious.

There is only half a day left before tomorrow's wedding, but there is still no clue of the Queen's reply... Tomorrow, can I only marry Liu Huixiang as a concubine?

The irritable Su Xian couldn't stay in the new house on Dongcheng Street, so he rushed to the back house of Yingzhou Yamen and went straight to Liu Huixiang's temporary residence, hoping to see her.

"stop!"

Tang Shujing suddenly jumped down from the treetop, stopped in front of Su Xian, stared and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you say in the morning that you need to avoid suspicion?"

"Why are you hiding in the tree?" Su Xian stopped. He was so anxious just now that he forgot to avoid suspicion.

"I promised someone that I would protect my cousin."

"Well done. After we get married, I will go to see Princess Lanling. The reward that belongs to you will not escape." Su Xian forced a smile, turned to look at Liu Huixiang's residence, and asked:
"What are they doing?"

"My cousin is getting married tomorrow, so today I will naturally take a bath and burn incense!" Tang Shujing crossed her arms with a sword between her chests, staring at Su Xian closely, as if she was afraid that he would run over and peep.

"..."

At this time, a boy saw Su Xian from a distance, waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Master Su, Master Su... there is someone from the palace, the imperial edict has arrived..."

"Holy decree!"

Su Xian screamed strangely, pushed aside Tang Shujing who was blocking the way, and ran straight to the gate of Yingzhou Prefectural Government House.

As soon as he ran close to the gate, he saw several people dressed differently from ordinary people at a glance.

That should be the exclusive clothing of the eunuchs in the palace. The leading eunuch held an imperial edict in his hands, and the following eunuchs held fly whisks in their hands, all covered with dust.

"Nephew Su Xian, you came just in time. I've been waiting for you. Hurry up and take the order." Tang Ju and a group of servants were already waiting there.

"Your Excellency, you are Su Xian and Su Consultation?" The eunuch who passed the order looked at Su Xian, raised an orchid finger, and spoke in a strange tone.

"It's me..." Su Xian gasped.

"Ouch! I finally found the rightful owner!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree held the imperial decree in his hand and almost jumped up with excitement. He said in a sharp voice: "Our family first went to the camp in the north of the city and met with Princess Lanling. The princess informed that Su Shenyi is in Yingzhou City..."

"After arriving in Yingzhou City, we first went to Jiaolou Street, but we couldn't find anyone... Some people said that Su Jianyi had moved to a new house on Dongcheng Street, so our family rushed to Dongcheng Street with others."

"In the end, it was all in vain..."

"After struggling for a long time, I finally found it!"

Su Xian listened patiently to what he said, pointed to the imperial edict in the eunuch's hand and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has been working hard all the way, why don't we read out the imperial edict first?"

The eunuch who delivered the order stamped his feet and cursed secretly:

"I forgot about the business, damn it, damn it... Ahem, Su Consultation accepted the order..."

"The next official, Su Xian, accepts the order."

"The imperial edict said..."

"..."

After half an hour.

Liu Huixiang’s temporary residence.

She had finished bathing and changing clothes, and was sitting in front of the dressing table. Tang Shuwan was dressing her up with a peachwood comb in her hand.

"I just heard that girl Minglan say that Brother Shi came here once. It was said that Brother Shi was upset and was stopped by Jing'er." Tang Shuwan chatted.

Liu Huixiang said: "It must be for the sake of equalizing his wife. Since the young master is agitated, it means that the queen's reply has not been sent yet, or..."

Tang Shuwan stopped the peach comb in her hand, looked down at Liu Huixiang in the bronze mirror, and comforted: "There is still half a day, and your Majesty's reply should be delivered on time."

Liu Huixiang smiled and said: "It is certainly good to marry into the Su family as a common wife, but if I can only marry as a concubine, I have no complaints."

The mahogany comb in Tang Shuwan's hand moved, and it slanted down along the soft black hair without any hindrance.

When she was about to say something, Tang Shujing suddenly burst into the boudoir, holding a golden imperial edict in her hand and shouting: "It's done, it's done, the edict is here..."

Liu Huixiang stood up suddenly, took two steps to greet her, took the imperial edict and read it again and again. It was true that the Queen really agreed to Su Xianping's wife's request.

Although she said that she didn't care about her status as a common wife or concubine.

But at this moment, two "clear springs" welled up in her watery eyes, dripping down her cheeks and falling on the imperial edict...
