Su Xinyi lowered her eyes and waited until a servant came over to her and said, "Miss Su Liu, please come with me."

Su Xinyi nodded, followed her up, and walked all the way to the front of the palace. The waiter reached out and pushed open the palace door, then bent down and said, "Sixth Miss, please."

Su Xinyi raised her feet and stepped across the threshold. Unlike the sunny outside the palace, the light inside the palace was dim and had a cool atmosphere. There were palace attendants standing on both sides. She walked forward step by step, then knelt down and saluted, "My maid Su Xinyi Meet your Majesty."

It was quiet in the main hall, and the servants on both sides retreated like running water. Su Xinyi heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and the coolness of the floor hit her heart through her knees. She still maintained her kneeling posture until she heard His Majesty said, "Pingsheng."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Xinyi slowly stood up and stood in the hall with his head slightly bowed.

"When I heard that Su Chun had a daughter, I was very happy for him. I didn't expect that you are not only his daughter, but also have very similar personalities."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the emperor's tone to be so soft. In her impression, the emperor was always a serious and cold person. In her previous life, she was very nervous and stressed when performing in front of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty praises you, but I will never accept it." Su Xinyi said respectfully.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​the caravan?"

Su Xinyi heard His Majesty's topic suddenly turn to the caravan, her heart tightened, she composed herself, and then she replied: "Back to Your Majesty, how could I think of such a method all of a sudden? It was my grandmother and I who My mother gave my daughter some of my father’s relics, including my father’s notes, and my daughter was inspired by her father’s notes.”

"Oh? Really? Did you bring the note?"

"Yes." Su Xin took out the letter from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.

Immediately, someone came over and took it with both hands, and then quickly brought it to the emperor.

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the manuscript in his hand. The color of the manuscript was slightly yellow, which showed that it was indeed old. There were many wear and tear at the foot of the page. It must have been the result of reading it many times.

He reached out to open the manuscript and saw a very familiar font, but Su Chun's handwriting on the manuscript was more wild. As he flipped through the manuscript, the emperor found that another font appeared on the manuscript, and Juan's beauty was revealed again. With a bit of wantonness and fresh handwriting, he slightly raised his head and looked at Su Xinyi standing in front of him.

The little girl in the palace had her shoulders straight, and she didn't look timid like a daughter usually does when she meets the emperor's face.

The emperor was in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help but remember that Su Chun was like this when he first met him. It seemed that although Su Xinyi grew up in the countryside, as King Rong said, he was brave and did not fall short of his father's majesty.

Su Xinyi was far from as calm as he appeared on the face, and there were beads of sweat on his palms. It was so quiet in the palace that one could hear the slight sound of the pages turning when His Majesty was flipping through the manuscript.

I don't know how long it took before Su Xinyi heard His Majesty say again: "The formation of a caravan is a big or small matter. Did you know that once the Tatars discover the flaw, it will cause a war between the two countries?"

Su Xinyi didn't know whether His Majesty was testing her or testing her. She thought about it and said with her true thoughts: "To tell you what Your Majesty is saying, even if you don't form a caravan, private caravans are also going to the grassland privately." All tribes. Moreover, the Tatars have not changed their greedy nature and will knock on the border every year. I privately believe that no caravan or caravan can stop them from robbing our southern Qi border city."

"You have made great achievements in this great victory. I have not rewarded you. Do you have any complaints?"

The topic changed so fast that Su Xinyi couldn't keep up. After hearing this, he didn't dare to think too much and immediately replied: "To answer your Majesty's question, when I went to the border town in the name of a householder, I mainly wanted to see what my father once did. The place where the battle was fought. My daughter had never met her father, but after she recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan, she always heard people mention her father's glory back then. She couldn't help but yearn for it, so she repeatedly begged her grandfather to let me go to the border town. I walked by. My father has walked the road and seen the places where my father has fought. What else can my daughter be dissatisfied with? Moreover, my concubine’s meritorious service was purely accidental, and the subsequent reinforcements and ambush were the work of General Zhu and His Royal Highness. My daughter only discovered the enemy. I just sent a letter, so I don’t dare to claim credit.”

When the emperor heard this, he stared at Su Xinyi. The little girl's face was still a little childish, but the sharpness between her eyebrows and eyes looked very much like Su Chun's. new

Go and take a look at the places Su Chun has walked, and it seems that it is indeed something Su Chun's daughter can do.

At that time, Su Chun knew that the Tatar invaders were approaching and said to him: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as your Majesty's vanguard, fight for you on the battlefield, and protect our Southern Qi. I will take the head of the Tatar child and give it to your Majesty."

Although Su Chun didn't know that he had a daughter in this world, the courageous Su Xinyi looked very much like him.

"Do you really think so?" The emperor's eyes fell on Su Xinyi with a look of scrutiny.

Su Xinyi did think so. When His Majesty asked, he didn't feel guilty and said, "Yes, I don't dare to take credit. I just hope that Your Majesty won't blame me for my reckless behavior. It's a blessing."

"Afraid of me being blamed, why do you still go?"

Su Xinyi pursed her lips, and the sweat on her back was pouring out. Her mind was spinning very fast, and then she said: "I am just sorry that I have not seen my father with my own eyes, so I want to see him walking by." The road he has traveled, the scenery he has seen, and the enemies he has fought. I think if my father was still alive, he would not stop my daughter."

He looks like Su Chun and is very courageous. His sophistry skills are not inferior to those of his father.

The emperor's expression slowly softened and he handed the note to the chamberlain. The chamberlain hurriedly bent down to take it and returned it to Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi took the letter and held it in the palm of his hand, his heart pounding.

After a while, she didn't hear the emperor speak again. Her legs were a little sore when she stood, and then she heard His Majesty say: "Step back."

Su Xinyi hurriedly bowed and left. When she left the hall, the cold wind blew and she woke up.

A young chamberlain came to lead her out of the palace. Su Xinyi went out all the way. She was still a little confused about what His Majesty meant, so she settled down to just a few words and it was over?

So what is his attitude towards his affairs in the border town?

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't reprimand and get angry. This is a good result, right?

His Majesty did not veto the matter of the caravan. Is there still room for buffering?

After sending her outside the palace, the little chamberlain went back.

Su Xinyi thanked the other party, turned around and continued walking out. After walking a few steps, he saw King Rong leaning against the wall.

When King Rong saw Su Xinyi coming out, he immediately came over, looked at her and said, "Why are you so slow?"

"Why is Your Highness here?" Su Xinyi looked at him and asked in surprise. Wasn't he afraid that the Queen would know?

"Brother asked me to wait for you here. When I see you, I will take you to see him." King Rong curled his lips and knew how to call him. He would never have taken this job before, but this time he did it for Su Xinyi. The eldest brother lowered his head to see how difficult it was for him.

Su Xinyi didn't want to continue standing with him at the palace gate, staring at people coming and going, so she followed him and said as he walked: "Where are you going?"

"The teahouse, the one on the street outside the palace gate." King Rong replied, "What did your father ask you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay. His Majesty just asked a few words about the caravan."

"Then what did the father say?"

"Your Majesty said nothing."

King Rong's face fell, and he sighed helplessly, "You said it's just a caravan, why is it so difficult?"

"It's not that simple. Maybe the two countries will go to war." Su Xinyi said.

"Then you are still doing this?"

"If I don't do it, I won't fight?"

"Okay. You are always reasonable. I can't help you, okay?" King Rong said with a dark face.

Su Xinyi smiled lightly, "I know His Highness cares about me, thank you very much, but Your Majesty really didn't embarrass me and just asked a few words casually. Your Highness doesn't need to worry."

When King Rong saw that Su Xinyi didn't seem to be fooling him, he became happy and said, "I'm actually not particularly worried. My father really valued your father. When Fourth Master Su died in the battle, my father knew the news. Later, I heard my mother mention that my father locked himself in the palace for most of the day and did not come out. You are the daughter of Fourth Master Su, and you have done nothing bad, so naturally my father will not embarrass you."

Su Xinyi looked sideways at King Rong. It was really hard to imagine that King Rong was so innocent now. Then how did he seem to be a different person in a short period of time in his previous life?

She couldn't understand either.

Although His Majesty did not embarrass her and even praised her as Xiao's father, she could feel that His Majesty did not like her.

This feeling is very subtle and cannot be described, but it can be felt.

In this life, like my father, I didn't seem to like her very much. Now thinking about my previous life, I was so useless and lost my father's face. How could your majesty look at her?

A king's heart is like the sea, and she understands it now.

The teahouse is not far away, just on the street not far from the Imperial City. It is convenient for a group of adults sitting in the government office to come out to drink tea.

Apparently King Rong was a regular customer. When he saw his shop, the waiter immediately came up to him with a smile on his face. He was full of flattery and took them directly to the second floor. He opened the door and said with a smile: "Your Highness, are you still the same?"

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi, "What do you want to eat?"

Su Xinyi said: "I won't be picky, it's whatever."

The waiter in the shop glanced at Su Xinyi in surprise, thinking that Rong Wang, with his domineering temperament, was actually considerate enough to ask the girl what she liked to eat. The sun was out in the west?

King Rong glanced at Su Xinyi, thought for a moment and said, "Just put on your teahouse's signboard."

The waiter hurriedly responded and stepped back. Su Xinyi followed King Rong into the room and sat down. The teahouse is elegantly decorated, with paintings and calligraphy by famous writers hanging on the walls. There is a small table against the wall, with a plum vase on the small table, and the plum vase is filled with flowers in full bloom.

On the other side of the small table was a Boshan stove, with white smoke curling up and a faint aroma filling the room.

Soon a child brought tea, and the person behind him who was carrying a food box set a table of various snacks. After finishing his work, he respectfully withdrew.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi, "You must be hungry. Eat something first. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through now."

Su Xinyi didn't say much to ask about the prince's whereabouts. She just saw that the snacks on the table were indeed very delicate. One of them was shaped like a peach blossom. She reached out and took one and took a bite. It felt a bit like yam cake in the mouth, but It has a stronger aroma than yam cake and is quite delicious.

Seeing that Su Xinyi was enjoying the meal, King Rong also picked up one to eat. While eating, he said, "What is this peach blossom cake called? It is said to be made of peach blossoms."

"It does taste like peach blossoms." Su Xinyi stopped eating after eating one, picked up the tea and took a sip, "Did His Highness' return go well this time?"

King Rong:......

Which pot won’t be opened?

"Of course it went well. What's wrong?" Of course King Rong didn't admit that he was punished. Didn't he want to lose face?

"That's good. I was worried that His Highness would be punished after escaping from the capital and coming back. Since it's okay, that's the best." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Of course she saw that King Rong had lied, but she couldn't help but want to tease him, it was so fun.

King Rong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "What about you? I heard that you also went to Huaining for a tour. You seem to be quite leisurely."

"I was afraid that people in my hometown would miss me, so I took a short detour on horseback anyway, just in time to see my eldest sister. Your Highness knows that my eldest sister is getting married with a child, so I am worried," Su Xinyi said.

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You said you are really strange. You didn't grow up in the Duke's Mansion of Qi. How come you have such a good relationship with the people there? That eldest sister of yours, she said that she will marry you when you come back. How much friendship can you have? You broke into the Duke of Qin's mansion for her, beat her up, and forced her to write a divorce letter. Now you are still worried about whether she is having a good time in her second marriage. You traveled thousands of miles to see her. How can I Didn’t you know you were such a bad person?”

Su Xinyi looked at him in surprise when King Rong said this, thought for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe this is the bloodline."

King Rong:......

I believe your ghost!

While the two were talking, the door was pushed open and the prince walked in.

Yan Jun, who was dressed in the crown prince's uniform, looked impressive at first. As soon as he came in, Su Xinyi stood up and greeted him, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

King Rong also stood up and muttered: "Brother, you are too slow. I called Su Xinyi. You can't say I didn't do a good job this time."

"Thank you, seventh brother." Yan Junchu said.

When King Rong heard what the prince said, he didn't want to sound aggressive, so he said: "Brother, sit down and I'll have someone serve you tea."

"No need, just say a few words and leave. I still have official duties." Yan Junchu stopped him, then looked at Su Xinyi, "The caravan's matter should be almost done. This matter will not be publicized to the outside world and must be kept secret. .”

King Rong almost jumped up, "Is this accurate? Wasn't it true yesterday?"

What happened in this short night?

Yan Junchu didn't answer, his eyes fell on Su Xinyi. After his father met her, he went over to explain the matter. He was also curious about what Su Xinyi said in front of his father.

But with King Rong here, it was difficult to ask some questions. He simply explained the matter and said to King Rong: "It is not convenient for you or me to come forward in this matter. I am going to let the two cousins ​​of the sixth girl take over the matter. what do you think?"

King Rong thought for a while and said, "I have no objection, but isn't Su Xinyi's cousin in Huaining?"

At this point, King Rong's brows jumped and he turned to stare at Su Xinyi, "It turns out that you have other purposes for going to Huaining. Why didn't you tell me before?"

Su Xinyi knew that King Rong had misunderstood, so he explained to him: "I didn't know about this before I went to Huaining. After arriving in Huaining, I learned that His Highness the Crown Prince asked my two cousins ​​to come to Beijing, and they happened to come together. "

King Rong didn't quite believe it and went to see the prince again.

Yan Junchu said slowly, "The caravan's affairs must be kept secret. The people around you and me all have names in the capital. No matter who goes there, their identity will be revealed. But how can I feel at ease if I leave this matter to others? Su?" I think you can trust my family, and I can trust you, so everyone will be happy. If you don’t agree, you can recommend a suitable candidate and we will discuss it again."

When King Rong heard that there was nothing wrong with what the prince said, and when he heard that he asked him to recommend someone, the discomfort in his heart disappeared, and he said generously: "Brother is thoughtful, and I don't have any objections."

The corners of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, so easy to fool?

She pretended not to know anything and lowered her head to drink tea, and then listened to the prince saying to her: "Sixth Miss, after you go back, you can ask them to go to the East Palace to find Yang Jin. After getting the documents and tokens, they can go to Yulin Guard. "

Su Xinyi nodded, "Okay, I will inform my two cousins ​​when I get back."

Yan Junchu stood up and said, "That's it for now. If anything happens, we'll discuss it later. I still have something to do, so I'll take the first step." After saying that, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Miss Six, do you have anything else?"

Su Xinyi shook his head.

"Then let's go together." Yan Junchu said.

King Rong:......

He stood up and looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, you are busy with your business. Su Xinyi is not in a hurry. He will leave after drinking tea."

Su Xinyi looked at King Rong, "I still have to go back and inform my cousins, and the two cousins ​​have to explain clearly the matters at Yulinwei, not to mention the trivial matters of the specific operation of the caravan. I really don't have time to drink tea." When he got here, he looked at Prince Rong and said, "Has your Highness's candidate been selected? They should be leaving the capital soon."

King Rong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "After the selection is made, I will ask them to join Su Deng and the others later."

"That's good. I'll take the first step, and Your Highness will just drink tea slowly." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Yan Junchu raised his feet and left, followed by Su Xinyi. After the two of them left, Rong Wang slowly remembered that everyone had left, and he was left alone to drink tea?

I'm afraid there's something wrong!

King Rong also went downstairs angrily. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange between the prince and Su Xinyi, but for a while he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Su Xinyi said goodbye to the prince downstairs and went back to Su's house. After seeing her eldest brother and telling her what had happened, Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "I really can't sit still at home. That's all right. You can do your business while I go." Grandpa will reply."

"Thank you, brother." Su Yi waved his hand, "What's the matter? By the way, your sister-in-law has prepared something to write for Su Deng and Su Li to take with them when they leave."

"Okay, then I'll go to my sister-in-law's place to have a look." Su Xinyi said.

"You should go back and rest first, and ask your sister-in-law to come over and talk to you later." Su Yi said as he walked.

Su Xinyi did not refuse. After leaving with Su Yi, he returned to his own yard. At this moment, he was really relieved.

Forsythia and others hurriedly came out to greet them. Su Xinyi looked at them and said, "Go and call Zhan Qiao."

Delphinium answered and went to the front yard to call for someone.

Su Xinyi looked at Forsythia and said, "Have you packed the things I asked you to pack last time?"

"Pack it up. I'll bring it to the girl." Forsythia went into the inner room and quickly came out holding a wooden box. "Girl, it's all here."

Su Xinyi opened the box and found a pile of silver notes inside. She took it out and counted it. It was not much. The total number of bits and pieces amounted to five thousand taels. These were given to her by her aunt and grandmother.

She took out five hundred taels of spare money and put it back into the box. She asked Forsythia to collect it and put it back. The rest was packed in Dutch bags.

She had taken part of it to the border town before, and gave all the money to Mu Xing to take away with the caravan. These 4,500 taels were all she could afford at the moment.

She left five hundred taels to give as a gift to her cousin Gao. Besides, Zeng Liang also needed money to do things, so she couldn't live without any money.

The Crown Prince and Prince Rong will definitely pay the big bucks. She won't ask how much they will take, but she can figure out what she should pay.

When Zhan Qiao came over, Su Xinyi told him about the caravan, and then said: "I plan to let you accompany your two cousins ​​to Yulinwei. I wonder if you are willing?"

Zhan Qiao hurriedly said: "Of course I am willing. The two young masters have never been to Yulinwei, so it is appropriate for my subordinates to lead the way."

Su Xinyi was actually a little embarrassed. She had just come back from such a long distance and had to turn back. She looked at Zhan Qiao and said, "When you come back this time, I will let you have a good rest for a while. I will really work hard on you this time."

Zhanqiao has never seen such a polite master. As guards, they naturally do whatever the master tells them. "Girl, please don't say that. It's just running errands and it shouldn't be hard. Then go back and clean up." Don’t know what to do before setting off?”

"It should be just these two days, and this one, I will give it to my two cousins ​​when we get to Yulinwei." Su Xinyi handed the purse containing the banknotes to Zhanqiao, "Here is the caravan cargo silver I paid. .”

Zhan Qiao hurriedly took it and put it away, "My subordinate, remember, does the girl have any other instructions?"

"No, go and do your work."

Zhan Qiao nodded and excused himself.

Su Xinyi went to the study room again and took out a book from the shelf. Inside the book was a map. This map was drawn by her and was similar to the one she used on the grassland.

She spread out the map, then carefully thought about the road she had walked on the grassland, and re-marked the places she had not marked. This map was only part of the map, and the remaining blanks had to wait until her cousin and the others passed through the Tatar territory. The grassland can be painted bit by bit.

Su Xinyi brushed his hand over the map, then put it away solemnly, took out the cowhide bag he had prepared from the drawer and put it in it.

Holding the small cowhide bag in both hands, I thought of today's imperial prelude. Although I didn't know what His Majesty meant, I still had to do what needed to be done.

When Mrs. Tai and her group came back from Daling Temple, Su Xinyi went to the front yard to greet her. As soon as she met her grandmother and the others, she saw the concierge running in hurriedly, "Mrs. Tai, the imperial edict has arrived!"
