Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 405 Xu Qizhuang: It’s over, my house was robbed!
After chatting with Li Shimin and his son for an hour, Su Chen yawned, said goodbye and left the palace.

When he returned to Prince's Residence, Su Wang and others had already gathered there and had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw Su Chen coming back, Su Wang and others stood up and greeted him with a smile.

"See you, Your Majesty."

"..."

Su Chen looked at the people in front of him silently for a while.

seem.

They were more likely to accept the prince's identity than he was.

Su Chen waved his hand, "Everyone, sit down."

Everyone thanked them and took their seats.

Su Wang was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to purchase an unused palace, sent people to clean it up, and ordered people to make a plaque as soon as possible. It will only take two days to move in."

Su Chen was immediately amused, "You are quite quick."

Su Wang smiled and said, "We all learned that the young master was named the Queen of Side by Side, so we have been discussing this matter."

"I didn't wait for your reply and acted on my own. Please don't blame me."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head.

Xu Qizhuang chuckled and said, "From today on, Brother Su is the prince, and we are all members of the prince's palace."

Jiang Yang nodded repeatedly, "We are officials of the royal palace now."

Jiang Wuyang smiled and shook his head, "Don't you already have an official position?"

Xu Qizhuang: “That’s different.”

Jiang Yang: "That's right."

Su Chen laughed dumbly, "Alright, don't talk about those nonsense. Even if you don't have the status of a prince, aren't you still the big shopkeeper in the city or something?"

"When I left the palace just now, I told His Majesty that I was going to take a two-day break and go to Huzhou. By then, I will need you to take care of things in Chang'an."

"Brother Su is going to Huzhou?"

Xu Qizhuang looked pleased, "Then can I go with Brother Su?"

Su Chen nodded, "Go prepare some gifts, we will set off for Huzhou tomorrow morning."

"What kind of gift?"

"A gift that you think is feasible."

Su Chen smiled and said, "By the way, your brother bought some snow lotus when he came to Chang'an last time. You should prepare more this time."

"it is good."

Xu Qizhuang readily agreed, not noticing the teasing looks from others.

As the night deepened, everyone stood up and said goodbye.

At noon the next day, Su Chen just woke up. All the fatigue from yesterday was gone. He got up and opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew in.

Snowing.

Looking at the heavy snow falling from the sky, Su Chen was very surprised.

The weather was nice yesterday. After one night, thousands of pear trees were in bloom.

"Brother Qiang, the carriage is ready."

"Brother Qiang, you have to call me the chief guard from now on, okay? And you guys, why are you all dressed like this?"

"We are the prince's guards now, so of course we have to give him honor."

"Look how proud you are of yourself."

Jin Yong's disdainful voice came, "You still want to command us?"

Sun Qiang: "Of course not. Even if it's first come first served, I'm the first one to follow you, and you're the second one."

"Then who am I?"

"Captain of your guard."

"..."

Listening to Sun Qiang and others chatting, Su Chen walked over with a smile.

"Your Majesty."

"Hey, isn't this the chief guard?"

Sun Qiang's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "Your Highness, stop joking, we were just joking."

Su Chen smiled and looked at Bai Lang and the others. They were all well-dressed and looked like elite troops.

"Your Majesty, Xu Qizhuang is here."

"Just right."

Su Chen nodded.

It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.

"Let's go."

"Brother Su."

Xu Hui was wearing a light green cotton dress, a fox fur coat, an off-white cape, and holding a palm-sized heater in her hand. She looked particularly pretty.

Xu Qizhuang, who was beside her, looked a little casual, wearing a felt hat and a cotton-padded jacket produced by their company, which was designed to keep people warm.

"Come on, get in the car with me."

Xu Hui nodded and followed Su Chen into the carriage.

As for Xu Qizhuang, who was grinning and wanted to follow, he was stopped by Sun Qiang.

"Hey, Brother Qiang, what are you doing?"

"The carriage is too small. It can only accommodate Miss Xu and the prince. Please don't join in the fun."

"???"

Xu Qizhuang was stunned.

How could he not know the size of the space inside this carriage?

Even if we add a few more of them, there is still more than enough space inside.

"You have no sense, kid."

Jin Yong happily pulled the confused Xu Qizhuang towards the carriage on the side, "We need to leave some space for the prince and Miss Xu."

Xu Qizhuang still looked puzzled: "Why leave space? It's such a big carriage, what's wrong with adding me?"

Jin Yong rubbed his head. Bai Lang came over and said with a grin, "Don't you want to go one step further?"

Xu Qizhuang: "What?"

The butcher asked, "You really don't know what happened between Miss Xu and the prince?"

"What?"

Xu Qizhuang was horrified, "Are you talking about my elder sister and elder brother Su?"

Snapped!
Jin Yong held Xu Qizhuang's shoulder and said, "Shh, everyone knows this, why are you making such a fuss?"

"When did this happen?!"

"For a long time."

"..."

Xu Qizhuang was confused. How long has it been?
how long?
Why didn't I see that?
Gu Xiao patted Xu Qizhuang on the shoulder and said, "I told you to stop going to Nishang Tower, but you didn't listen. You were so focused on the girls. How could you pay attention to these things?"

Xu Qizhuang: “…”

That's it.

Home was stolen!

Cao Yuan grinned, "Okay, get in the car. If we go to Nishang Building next time, you will have to pay for it."

Xu Qizhuang: "So every time you invite me to Nishanglou, you take the initiative to pay the bill because of this?"

"Otherwise?"

Everyone looked at him with disdain.

Xu Qizhuang: “…”

"boarding."

"Let's go."

Xu Qizhuang shook his head speechlessly.

He took a look at the carriage where Su Chen and Xu Hui were, and then got on.

Six carriages with the Su family's logo printed on them drove out of Chang'an City slowly in the wind and snow.

……

Huzhou is located in the western part of Jiangnan, close to the East China Sea, and has a prosperous waterway. After crossing Taihu Lake and taking the official road, within three days, Su Chen and his companions had already arrived at the border of Huzhou.

I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown.

Xu Hui lifted the car curtain and looked at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar scene outside, and kept introducing it to Su Chen.

"It can be seen that there have been some changes in the development of Huzhou."

Su Chen smiled and agreed.

Perhaps because of the grocery store, or perhaps for other reasons, the scenery of Huzhou clearly has a modern feel.

However, compared with Chang'an and other places, its development speed is still a bit slow.

but.

Li Chengqian has already put the suppression of the Japanese on the agenda. Huzhou, which is close to the East China Sea, will naturally develop quickly relying on the shipping port.

What's more, there are island countries such as Ryukyu and Luzon here.

After defeating Japan, it is natural to clean up these island countries one by one.

As the carriage slowly drove into Huzhou City, Xu Hui said with a smile, "I don't know how my grandmother and father are doing."

"Didn't Xu Qiying buy snow lotus last time? It should be better than you thought."

Su Chen smiled. As the carriage arrived at the government office smoothly, Xu Qizhuang was the first to jump off the carriage.

Aha!

I, Xu Qizhuang, am back!
Standing outside the mansion, Xu Qizhuang was smiling.

"Third Young Master?"

The guard outside the government office, upon seeing Xu Qizhuang, was immediately surprised and asked, "Isn't the Third Young Master in Chang'an? Why did he suddenly come back?"

"Hey, can't I go home and visit?"

Xu Qizhuang's eyebrows jumped, and he said cheerfully: "Where is my father? Is he in the government office?"

"Your Excellency is not in the government office at the moment."

"Not in the government office?"

Xu Qizhuang scratched his head, "Big brother isn't here either?"

"The eldest son is handling official business in the government office..."

"Hey, isn't this the third son of the Xu family?"

A teasing voice came from the gate of the mansion, followed by a man in official uniform who walked out with a smile, "I heard that the third young master ran away from home and started a business in Chang'an City. Is it very prosperous? Why did you come back?"

Xu Qizhuang said unhappily: "Ma Yunfei, why are you here?"

Ma Yunfei smiled and shook off his official uniform and said, "Of course I am on duty."

Xu Qizhuang said with disdain: "You are qualified to be an official?"

Ma Yunfei shrugged, "A little better than you. If Xu Qidan were here, he wouldn't be like you."

"Mr. Ma still loves to show off his tongue."

Xu Hui walked over with a smile on her face, following Su Chen.

Ma Yunfei smiled and bowed: "Miss Xu, you are polite."

"I never thought that Miss Xu would come back with the Third Young Master. Unfortunately, the Governor left the palace early this morning on official business."

"Now, only Xu Sicang is in the government office."

"It's a coincidence."

Xu Hui felt a little regretful.

I thought I could run into Xu Xiaode in the government office, but I didn't expect that he had gone out for official business early in the morning.

"Who is this?"

"Su Chen."

"Oh, it's Butcher Su."

Ma Yunfei smiled and said, "Excuse me, my apology."

Su Chen: "..."

"you……"

Su Chen looked over and waved his hand. Sun Qiang glared at Ma Yunfei coldly.

"If Miss Xu wants to see the Lord, she should return to the mansion first."

"Thank you, Master Ma, for telling me."

"Hey, sister, why are you being so polite to him?"

Xu Qizhuang sneered, "If he can become an official, I think there is no one left in Huzhou who can be used."

"Come on, Brother Su, let's go back home first."

At this time, Xu Qiying, who received the news, also walked out of the government office.

After seeing Su Chen and others, his face suddenly became happy, "Mr. Su, why are you here?"

"Brother, do you not welcome me back?"

"how come?"

Xu Qiying laughed, patted Xu Qizhuang on the shoulder and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. It just so happens that my father is not in the government office today. Please follow me back home first."

Ma Yunfei said calmly: "Have you finished processing Xu Sicang's copywriting?"

Xu Qiying's face turned cold, and he turned to look at Ma Yunfei, "Master Ma, I don't think I need to report my government affairs to you, right?"

Ma Yunfei: "Of course, I am just kindly reminding Xu Sicang not to delay the important matter."

Xu Qizhuang looked disdainful, and just as he was about to speak, he was pulled away by Xu Qiying with a smile, "Mr. Su, let's go back home first."

"it is good."

Su Chen looked at Ma Yunfei, this man seemed to be at odds with the Xu family.
