My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

Chapter 424

Su Wan had always kept Li Chengqian in her heart and had long wanted to fly to his side.

However, recently, many things have indeed happened in Chang'an, keeping Su Wan entangled.

It was the second watch of the night in Chang'an.

A bright moon hung in the sky, its light enveloping the entire city of Chang'an.

The city of Chang'an appeared very quiet.

Shangfu Bureau.

Su Wan crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes fixed on the view outside the window, lost in thought.

She was still very worried about Li Chengqian.

She feared that something might happen to Li Chengqian after he arrived in the Japanese kingdom.

Because she knew that there weren't many good people among the Japanese.

Think at the beginning,

She did not want Li Chengqian to go to the Japanese kingdom.

However, she knew Li Chengqian's temperament; he was extremely stubborn, and she couldn't persuade him no matter what she tried.

Su Wan planned to finish what she was doing and then go find Li Chengan.

Because she also had her own little schemes.

She knew that Li Chengqian was too handsome, and there were always women surrounding him.

She worried that one day, Li Chenggan would lose control of himself, and if he did, things would be troublesome.

Now, for Su Wan, the most important thing is to manage the Bureau of Clothing and Apparel well.

Because Xu Hui entrusted the Bureau of Clothing to her before her departure.

This is the greatest trust you can place in her.

Su Wan thought to herself, since Xu Hui trusted her so much and entrusted the Shangfu Bureau to her, she couldn't let Xu Hui down.

recent,

Then,

The tribute sent by Songtsen Gampo was lost again. Fortunately, it was a close call and the imperial seal and tribute were found. If they had not been found, how would I have explained it to the emperor?

then,

Su Wan called Su Gui over: "Think carefully about how you lost Songtsen Gampo's tribute last time. Was it because you trusted Fang Yi'ai too much and thought he was a good person?"

Someone invites you to go drinking, so you go. You get drunk, and someone steals your token without you even realizing it.

They just swaggered into the Bureau of Imperial Clothing with their tokens, loaded the tribute into a cart, and drove off. Don't you think you were being incredibly careless?

Su Gui, after being scolded by Su Wan, dared not argue back: "Sister, I know I was wrong, and I won't make a similar mistake again in the future."

"You know this well: Chang'an may appear calm on the surface now, but beneath the surface, undercurrents are surging."

In particular, the concubines in the harem vied for the emperor's favor.

It has reached a point where it's a matter of life and death.

That's why Xu Hui couldn't stay here any longer and went back to her hometown on the pretext of illness.

It should be said that Xu Hui's decision to retire at the height of her career was the right one.

If she continues to stay in this palace,

It's hard to say what the future holds.

Upon hearing this, Su Gui scratched her head and said, "I really don't understand. The emperor's concubines have money and status, so what else could they not want?"

What's the point of fighting all day long?

"What do you know? Wherever there are people, there will be conflict."

After those women married the emperor, they naturally wanted to give him a son.

Having a son, one naturally hopes that his son will become the crown prince.

This is called "a mother's worth is determined by her son."

Such things are not uncommon in history.

Now, although Li Chengqian is the crown prince,

But who can guarantee that he will definitely become emperor in the future?

At that time, Yang Guang was not the crown prince; the crown prince was the eldest son, Yang Yong.

However, Yang Guang used extraordinary means to seize the position of crown prince and become emperor.

So this set a very bad precedent.

Hearing this, Su Gui nodded: "Sister, you're right."
