Chang Anqing

Chapter 363
The sun was shining brightly on this day, Chang'an city was rare to get warm after the cold, and the streets and houses in Shifang were finally much more lively than the previous days.There was a constant flow of people and horses in Xingyefang, and when the shouts and laughter were intertwined, a low-key but full-bodied carriage was driving on the wide driveway.

"Aye, Auntie, look there—"

The little lady’s voice resounded happily, and the right servant of Shangshu who was sitting in the carriage shot Su Hui and his wife a glance, and couldn’t help but smile indulgently: “When I get out of the mansion, I’m like a runaway pony. .”

The little lady pretended to snort after hearing this, and said reluctantly: "Aye, I don't know how boring it is to stay in the mansion every day. If I can go to the court and the military camp like brothers and brothers, then I will Don't bother Aye anymore."

Hearing this, Su Hui stroked her beard, tapped the little lady's forehead with her finger and said, "It seems that our nan wants to be a female champion, a female general?"

"Why not?"

Su Hui's daughter-in-law, Anan, raised her head proudly when she heard the words, like a little peacock and said: "From the previous dynasty to the present, it has always been open. Since my daughter's family can play polo and compete with those gentlemen Shooting and hunting, why can’t we take the imperial examinations at the same time? Go to the battlefield to defend our home and country?”

Speaking of this, Ah Nan thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, Princess Yuling lives the most comfortable life in Chang'an city. , whether it's in the shooting field or in the hunting field, you can come out on top in everything—"

"Up to now, I still remember how Wang Hao smashed the flagpole with one shot in front of the Crown Prince, and that one arrow made King Xuan fall off his horse—"

Seeing that the little lady lost her taboo more and more, Su Hui cleared her throat and interrupted her. Although she pretended to give her a look, it didn't have much deterrent effect.

Seeing this, Ah Nan smiled, and coquettishly approached Su Hui's arm and said: "Which daughter in this world doesn't want to live like a princess, even Ah Nan is no exception."

Seeing that the husband can't afford the little lady, Su Hui's wife, Mrs. Xu, said with a smile: "After that day, you and I, Ye, will have to search hard to find a hero like King Yuling to be a husband for our aunt."

"Auntie—"

Seeing the little lady blushing and turning her head away in embarrassment, Su Hui turned her head and looked at Mrs. Xu and laughed out loud.

"It's here, it's here!"

At this moment, Anan got out of the carriage first as if fleeing, and when Su Hui and his wife got out of the carriage, she saw that Anan had already put on the fence, and she came over through the light gauze, holding Su Hui in one hand, and the other in the other. Looking at Xu, he said: "I asked that day, Mrs. Chu Guogong bought the brocade clothes at this Pingchang silk and satin workshop. The material is delicate and elegant. If A Niang wears them, she will be gorgeous."

Hearing her daughter's praise, Xu smiled helplessly and said nothing, but Su Hui took Xu's hand and said, "Your mother is the most beautiful in Aye's heart even in the Jingchai sarong."

"You're talking nonsense with her again."

Hearing Xu's angry words, Su Hui smiled, and when the three of them walked in, they saw that the brocade and silk in the cloth shop were much more delicate than those beside it.

Seeing that Xu's mother and daughter were excited to choose, the staff at the side stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, we have an elegant house in our workshop, which can be used for rest—"

Su Hui was about to refuse when she heard the words, when she heard the daughter beside her say: "That's fine, Aye went to court for half a day, just in time to take a rest, and I will come to find you after my mother and I have made our choice."

Seeing this, Su Hui didn't say much anymore, and went down to the elegant house in the backyard under the guidance of the staff. As soon as he entered, the winding path led to a secluded place. It also followed.

After the fruit and tea were served, Su Hui, who was sitting alone in it, couldn't help but closed his eyes and wanted to take a nap, but the door was pushed back again after a while.

"Why did you pick it up so quickly?"

Su Hui opened his eyes, and Fang was stunned when he saw the past, then hurriedly got up and said, "Princess Yuling."

"You servant, please sit down."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Su Hui was still surprised, but sat down opposite him.

"Don't worry about You Pushe, this place is quiet and no one disturbs you."

Su Hui's heart gradually cleared up after hearing the words, and immediately said: "I don't know the princess—"

"You Pushe wants to ask me, what is the purpose?"

Li Sui picked up a pot from the little red stove with a smile and poured a cup of hot tea for Su Hui, causing Su Hui to hold the cup wall with both hands and say, "Thank you, Princess."

"This is the Shannan Ziyang tea presented by Jinzhou this year. You servant, please taste it."

Su Hui picked up the tea politely and took a sip when he heard the words, at this moment he heard Li Sui on the opposite side say: "I know that the right servant is busy with affairs, and it's rare to have this free time. Seeing me here must be full of suspicion. If I can't taste the tea well, then I won't play charades, and I will speak frankly with You Pushe."

Hearing this, Su Hui put down the teacup in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Li Sui smiling and saying: "I came today to ask You Servant for a favor."

As soon as these words came out, Su Hui paused, and then said with a smile: "Princess Yuling is just joking, I am a courtier, how can He De take the princess's request?"

Li Sui knew that he was also a close minister of the emperor, but Su Hui was not as eager to make progress as Yu Dingfang. On the contrary, he was quite cautious. He never stood in the team in the battle for the heir apparent, and only steadfastly surrounded Yang Chongyuan.

"My request is quite easy. For You Pushe, it's just a smooth sailing, it's not difficult—"

While Su Hui was meditating, Li Sui said with a smile: "I have stayed in Chang'an City for a long time. I can imagine every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree with my eyes closed. Now I yearn for the world outside this city even more." , if Zhao Yi and I want to leave Chang'an and seek a peaceful place to live a life free from disputes, I don't know if You Pushe can fulfill this wish for the two of us?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Su Hui's eyes paused, and he looked over in surprise, but saw Li Sui's eyes were full of sincerity.

"The princess has this heart, why don't you tell your majesty, or your highness the empress—"

"You Pushe has a deep understanding of the court, so he should know that we are in a difficult situation."

While speaking, Li Sui said helplessly: "Although the flag doesn't move, it moves when the wind blows. All this time, I just wanted the Li family to be safe and my husband to be safe."

"I know that there have always been rumors about me and Zhao Yi in Chang'an City, so today we just want to find a safe place to protect ourselves."

Speaking of this, Li Sui looked at Su Hui: "Because of these rumors, and because our Li family is an in-law, His Majesty must also be worried about this. You Pushe has been loyal to His Majesty all his life. If he can take advantage of this to relieve His Majesty's worries, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

Seeing Su Hui staring silently, Li Sui continued to speak step by step: "Whether it's the Li family, or Zhao Yi and I, we have always respected our benefactors. I know that Yu Gong, the right servant, is an upright official, and the Yu family is even more respectful to his wife and children." If the right servant is willing to help, I, Li Sui, would like to guarantee in the name of my Li family in Longxi. No matter how the situation changes in the future, as long as my Li family is here, as long as I and Zhao Yi are here, I will definitely replace you. Keep your family safe."

As soon as these words were said, Su Hui's originally frowning eyebrows relaxed, and when he raised his eyes, his pupils were full of excitement and shock.

Su Hui knew very well that the promise made by the concubine Yuling in front of her, the first daughter of the Li family in Longxi, was very heavy.

He walked on thin ice all his life, and was cautious, not only for the higher and higher power position, but also for being able to protect his family safely.

Longxi Li family, just these four words are enough to make him believe in their abilities.

Li Sui looked at Su Hui who was in deep thought in front of him, and he had already grasped full confidence in his heart. Although Su Hui was cautious, he could also see that this was a deal that was sure to make money.

But an insignificant suggestion can not only offer Yang Chongyuan a prescription for relieving his heart disease, but also sell it to Li Shi, sell her and Zhao Yi a favor, and get their gratitude in the future, why not do it?
"Okay, I'd like to give it a try."

Sure enough, upon hearing Su Hui's answer, Li Sui picked up the teacup with a smile and invited him, "Then I'll trouble you to shoot."
