Chapter 96 A Rare Opportunity

On the loess plateau, in front of the imperial tent, Empress Fushou sat in the middle, with nobleman Song Du on one side, and Tang Ji and Cai Yan on the other side.

A pottery cauldron was hung on the bonfire, the water was boiling and foaming, the maids took out the cooked horse meat, cut it into small pieces, and put it on the plates in front of everyone.

"Eat it, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." Fu Shou smiled lightly and raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Song Du bowed and saluted.

"Thank you, Queen." Tang Ji and Cai Yan also saluted, took up the plate, picked up the horse meat, dipped it in some sauce, put it in their mouths, and chewed it slowly.

"Sister-in-law, eat more." Fu Shou rolled up his sleeves with one hand, picked up a piece of meat with the other, and brought it to Tang Ji. "I heard that the information provided by my sister-in-law is very important to win this time. If my sister-in-law is a man, I will sit in front of His Majesty at this moment and celebrate with the generals."

Tang Ji said indifferently: "The empress speaks seriously, and my concubines dare not be. This battle can be won because your Majesty is not chaotic in the face of danger, the ministers are well-planned, and the officers and soldiers are attentive, which has nothing to do with the concubines."

"Sister-in-law is being polite." Fu Shou picked up another piece of meat and brought it to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan quickly took the meat, put down the plate, left the table and knelt down to thank him.

"Madam, you don't have to be formal, this is not a palace." Fu Shou said with a slight smile.

Cai Yan said softly: "The sage said, sincerity is in the middle, and the outside is formed, so a gentleman is cautious about independence and dare not go beyond the rules. He also said that sacrifices are as if they are present. Although the body is not in the palace, the rituals should not be forgotten."

Fu Shou sighed softly, put down his chopsticks, and reached out to support Cai Yan. "Madam's words are embarrassing. Since the imperial court went west, everything has been chaotic, and there are not many people who can behave like Madam."

Tang Jidai frowned slightly, swallowed the meat in her mouth, and put down the bowl and chopsticks. "Thank you Queen for giving me the meat. The concubine is already full, please leave first."

Fu Shou said in shock: "Sister-in-law, how can you be full after just a few bites?"

Tang Ji said lightly: "The concubine is small, please forgive me." After finishing speaking, she bowed politely, got up and left.

Fu Shou looked embarrassed, he wanted to have a fit, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Cai Yan.

Cai Yan did not expect this situation, and was in a dilemma.She thought for a while, and thanked her: "Thank you Queen for giving me the meat. I just got out of trouble, and I shouldn't eat too much meat. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. Please leave."

Fu Shou was in a bad mood, and waved his hand embarrassingly, signaling Cai Yan to take it easy.

Cai Yan left the table and went to the small tent beside him, but he didn't see Tang Ji.When I came out, I saw a figure like Tang Ji in the distance, so I walked over and took a closer look under the moonlight, and it was her.

"lady?"

Tang Ji turned around, saw that it was Cai Yan, and beckoned to Cai Yan to come closer.

Cai Yan walked over and bowed to salute. "Madam, please forgive me, my concubine is not..."

Tang Ji smiled silently, took Cai Yan's hand, and stroked it gently. "It's okay, I come from a humble background, and I have the name of eunuch, how can I be compared with the Langya Fu family who has been a master for generations. And in her position, some things have to be done, she is also accustomed to it, and it is unintentional. I don't blame she."

Cai Yan took a look at Tang Ji, pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the brightly lit Chinese army tent in the distance. "Actually, what the queen said has some truth. Madam is a man, if she is not a woman, she can sit in front of the emperor at this moment and celebrate with the generals."

Tang Ji looked at Cai Yan in surprise. "What have you heard?"

"It's nothing, my concubine just heard from Yang Xiu, the minister, that Madam puts the overall situation first, and she is very generous, even His Majesty is grateful."

Tang Ji laughed: "This Yang Shilang..." She closed her mouth again after speaking halfway, and looked at the camp in the distance, with a warm smile on the corner of her mouth. "Mrs. Cai, I heard that you want to live with the Yang family?"

"I have no relatives, and now only the Yang family can have a place for me." Cai Yan said with a wry smile: "My father used to be a colleague of the Taiwei in the past, and they were studying history in Dongguan. They got along very well. My Cai family and the Yuan family are also a family of in-laws. If you think about it, Madam Yuan can protect her for the sake of old love."

"Your father is close to the Yuan family, and I have heard a little bit. But at this moment, I don't suggest you go to the Yang family to borrow."

"Why?"

"If I remember correctly, your father seems to have only you as a daughter and no other heirs."

"It's just as Madam said." Cai Yan let out a long sigh, feeling sore in his heart.

Although his father Cai Yong is proud of her, she is a woman after all. Cai Yong has always wanted to have a son to inherit the family business.Now that everyone is dead, naturally it can't be said.

This vein is considered extinct.

"My father was killed by Wang Situ because of a momentary slip of the tongue. Who else can inherit the unfinished business except Madam?"

Cai Yan frowned slightly, not understanding what Tang Ji wanted to say.

"Your Majesty has aspirations for Zhongxing. In the next ten years or so, there will be turmoil and heroes, no less than when Gao Zu founded the country and Guangwu Zhongxing. Your Majesty's words and deeds should be recorded in the history and passed on to future generations. If Madam can To stay by His Majesty's side, to be a female official like Ban Zhao, to record His Majesty's words and deeds, how can your achievements be inferior to His Majesty's?"

Cai Yan was moved for a moment, and unexpectedly remembered the warm eyes of the emperor.

But then she felt ashamed again.

I have been trapped in the camp of thieves for several years, and I have lost my reputation. How can I be a female official by the emperor's side.

As for Ban Zhao, it was not something she dared to hope for.

But what Tang Ji said was also extremely attractive, and she couldn't help but yearn for it.

For her personally, this is a good opportunity to inherit the legacy of her late father Cai Yong.

For historians, this is likely to be an extremely wonderful history. How lucky would it be to experience it personally and record it one by one?
Even Ban Zhao didn't have such a chance.

"What Madam said is true, it's just me..." Cai Yan hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

She had heard from Yang Xiu that Tang Ji had a greater influence on the emperor than Empress Fushou. If Tang Ji proposed, the emperor would most likely agree.

But in that case, she would have to be involved in the dispute between Tang Ji and the queen.

"You don't have to promise me in a hurry, you can think about it slowly." Tang Ji smiled. "Anyway, this battle won't end in a day or two. Li Jue is not Li Shi. It's not that easy to deal with."

Thinking of Li Jue, Li Shi's father and son, Cai Yan couldn't help shivering, and wrapped his clothes tightly.

-

"You still have the face to come back?" Li Jue sneered, crushing the golden cup in his hand.

Li Shi knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Hu glared angrily. "Although Ah Shi was invincible, he did his best. It was those goddamn barbarians who refused to obey the general's orders and refused to save him. This caused Ah Shi to lose his strength. Instead of punishing them, you came to embarrass your son?"

Li Jue was furious. "Have you tried your best? Where did his strength go? You haven't figured it out yet?" He stood up, walked behind Li Shi, and kicked Li Shi on the waist. "Look at his waist, it's as soft as a soup cake, can he still sit on the horse's back?"

Li Shi screamed "Aww" in pain, and fell to the ground, curled up into a ball.

In a hurry, Hu spread his arms, lay on Li Shi's body, and shouted angrily: "If you want to kill, kill my mother and son together. Young man, how many are not lewd? Do you think you are a good thing? Back then Falling in love with Mrs. Hongnong Wang, isn't she also like a dog in heat..."
