After Su Xian left the study, he walked far away and met a group of patrolling soldiers. The leading captain stopped and greeted him respectfully, saying: "Su Xianyi!"
Su Xian was always kind in the camp, and was very kind to the lower-level soldiers, but this time... he didn't seem to see the group of soldiers, nor heard their greetings, and walked directly over.
Um?
The captain had a strange look on his face. He looked up at Su Xian's back and saw that he was walking with his head clasped in his hands, looking like he was deep in thought. The captain had some thoughts.
At this time, a soldier thought that Su Xian had not heard him, so he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Su Xian..."
The captain glared at him, frightening the soldier to stop abruptly.
"Don't yell. Su Chenyi is thinking about national affairs. If you interrupt Su Chenyi's train of thought, you won't get the best of you!" the captain scolded in a low voice.
"Don't you dare..." The soldier was frightened and frightened. Fortunately, Su Xian's "training of thought" was not interrupted and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"..."
Su Xian naturally didn't know what happened behind him.
He clasped his head and walked away again, then suddenly stopped, as if he had just understood, and muttered to himself: "So the princess means...that!"
Su Xian's heart became uncontrollably hot when he thought of Princess Lanling's alluring beauty and her graceful figure.
The most important thing is Princess Lanling's words...or rather, that promise——
If Daliang survives the crisis this time, she will let him... Well, just thinking about it, Su Xian got goosebumps all over his body and his heart was beating fast, like a boy in love for the first time.
After twitching the corners of his mouth in reverie for a while, Su Xian suddenly came back to his senses, his restless heart slowly calmed down, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually disappeared.
I should exercise restraint... Su Xian thought in his mind.
After all, Princess Lanling is the "female boss", and the ambiguities that happened before were not what he wanted. It would be good if he can maintain the current relationship, but if he fails to control the relationship...
No matter how you say it, Li Youqing is still a woman, and she also has the limitations of being a woman. If someone fails to hold back and creates an irreversible ambiguity, who knows how the situation will develop?
The future is unpredictable!
It's better to keep the status quo.
Su Xian secretly made up his mind.
…
It was said that not long after Su Xian left the study, Li Youqing returned and saw that her face was as usual and her hair was wet. She had obviously just taken a shower and washed herself.
"Go and ask Wang Sima to come over." Li Youqing stood proudly in front of the window and admired the scenery, and casually gave instructions to the left and right.
"Servant, take your orders!" Dong Dianjun left quickly.
After waiting for a while, Wang Sima arrived.
Li Youqing asked to be served tea, but she still stood proudly in front of the window, letting the bright sunshine spread on her fat face, looking like a fairy.
"Wang Sima...how long have you been with me?" Li Youqing asked calmly.
"Reporting to the princess, Xiaguan has been following the princess since she left the palace and established her mansion. It can be said that Xiaguan watched the princess grow up." Wang Sima had gray hair and beard, but he was still in good spirits.
"How do I usually treat you?" Li Youqing asked again.
"The princess treats the subordinate like an elder, and the subordinate will do his best to assist the princess!" Although Wang Sima's tone is old, his tone is quite sonorous, and he has the feeling that he would go through fire and water for Li Youqing.
Li Youqing turned sideways, looked at Wang Sima intently, and suddenly said:
"The credit for sending people secretly to the Liao Kingdom to give our Daliang a breathing space should belong to Wang Sima and Su Zhenyi, but... I want to give all the credit to Su Zhenyi!"
"..."
Wang Sima was stunned for a moment, and without any hesitation, he bowed and said: "But it depends on the princess' arrangement."
Li Youqing was quite satisfied with this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "I heard that your son loves Qian Zhongshu's daughter, but because of my relationship with Qian Zhongshu..."
"Princess Lao is concerned. I can't do anything about the rebellious son. I've tried all my methods and can't cheer him up. I'm so decadent for a woman. I...just pretend that I never gave birth to this son!" Wang Sima was a little depressed.
Li Youqing said:
"This matter is not your fault... After returning to Beijing, I will go to see Qian Zhongshu in person and try my best to promote this marriage and help my son get back on his feet. What do you think?"
Wang Sima bowed excitedly: "Your Highness, there is no need for that. Qian Zhongshu is your Highness's political enemy. This..."
Li Youqing said: "I have made up my mind."
Wang Sima was stunned for a moment, and finally thanked her: "Thank you, Your Highness. If I can make that rebellious son cheer up, I will kill you to thank the princess for your kindness!"
"..."
The other side.
Su Xian ordered someone to bring in a sheep, ordered it to be slaughtered, and then ordered someone to make bamboo sticks and prepare cumin. He was going to grill a few skewers of cumin mutton for Li Youqing to try.
There were many people in the camp, and all the ingredients and tools Su Xian needed were quickly provided.
He took it upon himself to bake about ten skewers and ordered someone to deliver them to Li Youqing. Then he looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he left the camp and returned to the city with Yang Zhilan.
The princess sleeps in the tent.
study.
After Wang Sima left, Li Youqing went to his desk and began to deal with daily military and political affairs.
She is the "Deposed Envoy of Hebei Province" and the "General Manager of the March of Hebei Province". She is in charge of the military and political affairs of Hebei Province. She is actually very busy.
The sun has set and the sky is getting dark. Qiu Dianjun thoughtfully lights the candles. The study is quiet, with sandalwood incense lingering, and the only sounds are the birds chirping outside the window.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the study.
Li Youqing was disturbed, put down the document in his hand, took a sip of the sweet Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup, and asked: "Who is making noise outside."
Dong Dianjun entered the study and reported, "Princess, the people below brought some food, but because it wasn't dinner time yet, my servant stopped me."
"Stand back." Li Youqing picked up the document again and ordered without raising his head.
"My slave, take your orders." Dong Dianjun turned and left the study.
At this time, Li Youqing suddenly smelled a unique fragrance. This fragrance could not be described in detail. He had never smelled it before, and the glutton in his stomach was aroused.
"Wait a minute." Li Youqing dropped the document and asked after Dong Dianjun came in again: "What is so fragrant?"
"Reporting to the princess, it is said that Su Jianyi personally grilled something... cumin mutton skewers!"
"Cumin mutton skewers!" Li Youqing was stunned for a moment, remembering the words she had teased Su Xian in the study just now, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Send it over quickly!"
Dong Dianjun was very surprised. Normally, before dinner time, the princess would only drink some tea and some Tremella and lotus seed soup, and would not eat anything else.
But she didn't think much, and quickly brought ten skewers of kebabs exuding a strange fragrance and placed them on Li Youqing's big vermilion case.
“This meat skewer smells really unique!”
Li Youqing picked up a bamboo stick and looked at the golden and shiny grilled meat on it. He couldn't put his mouth down. Should he just bite it? Will it be too ugly to eat?
