"Hmph, Tubo Ludongzan and their Zanpu are really talented. Just after our food was delivered to Baozi City, news came out from them that the snow has melted and the food can be transported to Datang."
Wang Xuanying took the information sent by Fei Ge and sneered.
"Your Majesty, if we do this, Tubo will be unhappy!" Prime Minister Dongyue said with some worry.
"If he's not happy, don't be happy. Tubo is still separated from us by the Tang Dynasty and the Western Barbarians. Even if he's unhappy, we can only suppress it and ignore it. However, we have to keep a close eye on several shipyards along the coast." Wang Xuanying looked towards Dong Mian: "Our future in East Vietnam is always above the sea!"
"I understand!"
At the end of the court meeting, all the ministers retired, but King Zheng was left alone.
"A few days ago, Prince Zheng's order appeared in Baiyuan Garden..."
Wang Qingluan knelt on the ground, lowered his head and whispered, "That's my son."
There was silence in the hall, and there was no sound for a long time. Finally, the expression of reluctance on Wang Xuanying's face disappeared in a flash.
"What do you think of Tang Ping?"
When Leng Buding heard his father ask such a question, Wang Qingluan trembled slightly, and then said in a low voice: "He is glib, frivolous and rude, but... he has some literary talent... but... but..."
"Haha!" Wang Xuanying couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I didn't expect you to have such a low evaluation of that Tang Ping."
"As a father, I have a different opinion. I think that Tang Ping-chest is a wise, resourceful and elegant man. He is really a rare young hero in this world!"
Wang Qingluan did not expect that his father would speak so highly of Tang Ping, but for some reason, he felt happy in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "What my father said is that my son-in-law is not thoughtful."
Wang Xuanying looked at Wang Qingluan's trembling look, and suddenly said with some affection: "I don't know how many years ago it was last time my father saw you wearing women's clothes!"
After saying that, I still felt a little sour in my heart. How could that boy Tang Ping be able to see his daughter in women's clothing, and even go to a restaurant for dinner and an outing in Baiyuan Garden?
When Wang Qingluan heard Wang Xuanying say this, she didn't know how to answer. She didn't even know how she would be punished if she left the palace privately.
"Qingluan, how about you study in Chang'an?"
This sentence, no more than ten words long, struck like a bolt from the blue, causing Wang Qingluan, who had always lowered his head, to raise his head and look straight at Wang Xuanying.
"What? You don't want to?" There was something in Wang Xuanying's eyes that Wang Qingluan couldn't figure out.
"My son... I will obey my father's instructions."
Wang Xuanying took two steps forward, pulled up Wang Qingluan who was kneeling on the ground, and touched her hair: "I have suffered so much for you for so many years!"
"Father..." Wang Qingluan was a little overwhelmed by this sudden warmth.
"After your mother left, I have been busy with state affairs. Sometimes I have really neglected you. For so many years, you have to pretend to be a man. Have you ever blamed my father?"
Wang Qingluan's eyes were a little red, but appearing in front of others as Prince Zheng for so many years made her hold back her tears, shook her head and said, "I know my father's difficulties, and this is all for me, Dongyue."
"It's good that you can understand my father's difficulties!" Wang Xuan used his thumb to gently touch the corners of Wang Qingluan's eyes, wiping away any trace of moisture on them.
"But my father is not joking with you this time. If you are willing to go to Chang'an to study, you can go!"
"But...it's okay with my identity..." Wang Qingluan was still hesitant.
"If you want to go, don't use the identity of Prince Zheng, use the identity of Wang Qingluan!" Wang Xuanying said with a smile: "My daughter is so beautiful, can't she still be fascinated by that brat Tang Ping?"
"Father..." Wang Qingluan gave a rare twist. She never expected that her father would actually let her wear women's clothes to study in Chang'an.
"Go down and get ready. When we send seafood to Chang'an for the next trade deal with Tang State, you can follow us!"
"Yes!" Wang Qingluan smiled happily, and glanced at Wang Xuanying with a smile like a flower. Then he realized that he was still Prince Zheng, and then he returned to the young and mature look of the past and bowed to Wang Xuanying.
But after leaving, he could no longer hold back his excitement. After getting on his carriage, he grabbed Tweety who was waiting for her in the carriage and said excitedly: "Tweety, our father knows about our going out dressed as women. …”
Cui'er's face turned a little pale, and she even felt that her Highness was frightened by His Majesty. Could it be a good thing if this was discovered?
"Your Highness... Your Highness! Did Your Majesty tell us how to punish us?"
Wang Qingluan secretly smiled slyly, and then pretended to be serious and said: "I told you to drive us out of Fuyang City!"
"What?" Cui'er jumped up directly in the carriage, and then quickly pulled Wang Qingluan's sleeve: "Your Highness, this... this... how can we be driven out of Fuyang City? Why don't you go and beg Your Majesty? Bar?"
"Okay!" Wang Qingluan scratched Cui'er's nose: "I'm just teasing you. I'm not being kicked out of Fuyang City, but my father asked me to study in Chang'an, and as Wang Qingluan."
"real?"
"Of course it's true! Next month we can go there with the batch of seafood sent to Chang'an and Datang to trade tung oil!"
"But..." Cui'er still looked incredulous: "Why? Why does Your Majesty suddenly want you to study in Chang'an?"
"I don't know, but that's Chang'an, Chang'an!" Wang Qingluan shrugged excitedly.
"I see, His Highness is so excited, it must be because of someone, right?"
"Tui'er, believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"
On the wall of the imperial city, Wang Xuanying looked at Wang Qingluan's carriage and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to send Prince Zheng to Chang'an?" an old eunuch who had been with him for decades asked behind him.
"This is the only way!" Wang Xuanying raised his head and looked at the sky: "For so many years, although I have not established a prince, who inside and outside the court would not consider her the prince? It would be fine if she were a boy, but she is a girl. "
"You see, Tang Ping has made her fascinated this time. If Dongyue is really handed over to her in the future, can Dongyue still have the surname Wang?"
The old eunuch cupped his hands and said, "I must congratulate Your Majesty. This time I have been rejuvenated by the wonderful hands of Dr. Sun. Concubine Liu is pregnant and will give birth to a son in the near future. I, in East Vietnam, will finally have someone to inherit the throne!"
"Let's go to Concubine Liu's palace, and pay attention to the entourage who followed Qingluan to Chang'an this time. Although I have never heard of Tang Ping in the past, I think his status in the Tang Dynasty must not be simple. As long as Qingluan If Luan can stay with him after he goes to Chang'an, then we won't be able to hide any troubles in the Tang Dynasty."
