Chapter 1277 - 52: The Father-in-Law and Son-in-Law Duel (Part 1)
Su Yang can be said to have been watched by the Emperor as he grew up.
Although Su Yang has always lived a life of either being beaten or looking for trouble, he even led the Ninth Prince astray.
But Su Yang was smart since childhood and even more so as he grew up; when it comes to strategy, even the Left and Right Ministers who have been mingling in the court for decades may not beat him at it.
The Emperor has no doubt that Su Yang and the others are pillars of the state.
However, now that Su Chong and Xie Jingchen are in the court, there is no hurry for Su Yang and his peers to enter the court early as officials.
With these younger generation around, Daqi can certainly ensure a stable dynasty for fifty years.
The matter of Su Yang sending Princess Yinchuan back home was thus decided.
Princess Yinchuan was going back to Beimo, and Su Jin could not treat her sunburned face. She could prepare the medicinal paste, but the hot weather would not allow the paste to last long.
As a result, Su Jin sought out Little Wei Imperial Doctor, who is also the apprentice and adopted son of Old Wei Imperial Doctor, now serving at the Imperial Hospital, taught him the preparation method of the medicinal paste, and let him follow Su Yang and Princess Yinchuan to Beimo.
The formula for whitening and beautifying, worth a fortune.
Su Jin’s instructions were not something Little Wei Imperial Doctor dared ignore, let alone being taught such a precious recipe.
Princess Yinchuan’s face was out of the ordinary, Little Wei Imperial Doctor dared not be careless; after receiving the paste formula, he prepared it overnight, sent it to Su Jin for inspection, and assured there was no problem before he felt relieved.
That day, the sunshine was bright and dazzling; standing a while under the sun would give one a fine layer of sweat on the forehead.
After breakfast, Su Yang and Princess Yinchuan set off.
Mrs. Tang saw them off to the gate of the Marquis Mansion, whereas Marquis Dongxiang had gone to the military camp early in the morning and did not show face.
As a son to travel for at least two or three months, Su Yang did not see any unwillingness to part from his parents’ faces.
What happened to the promise of a mother worrying about her child traveling a thousand miles?
Hmm.
Mrs. Tang was not completely unworried.
It’s just that what she’s worried about is not her son.
"For this trip to send Princess Yinchuan back, when you arrive in Beimo, you mustn’t provoke trouble, and more importantly, remember your identity," Mrs. Tang instructed.
Su Yang nodded, "Mother, I know all this."
"What is it that you don’t know?" Mrs. Tang glared at him.
"...."
He knows everything he should know.
Mrs. Tang looked at Princess Yinchuan, reluctant, "From Nanlin to here, traveling thousands of miles, you haven’t had a chance to rest well. If you’re not in a hurry to return to Beimo, don’t rush, just treat it as a sightseeing trip."
"If Yangyang bullies you, come back and tell me, I will not let him off."
Su Yang protested, "Can I really bully her?"
"She could possibly bully you?" Mrs. Tang said.
"...."
Not to mention, Princess Yinchuan’s sun-darkened face was the best testament.
Su Yang had no words to say.
A faint sense of grievance spread from the depths of his heart.
As the sole legitimate young master of the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, he naturally inherited the finest tradition of the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion—
Spouse pampering.
Can he bully his spouse?
If his spouse wants to bully him, he still has to move closer.
After a few words of advice, Mrs. Tang let them set off.
The Ninth Prince, Shen Xing, and others, having nothing better to do, saw Su Yang and the others out of the city.
Of course, sending off was coincidental, the Ninth Prince was putting on a brave face and engaging with the Crown Prince to marry Shen Yue, but the results weren’t going well at all.
He brought gifts to visit the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince didn’t say much, but the people in the Crown Prince Palace suspected his unsolicited ingratiation as either traitorous or thieving.
The Ninth Prince felt very exhausted.
Ever since meeting Su Yang, the Ninth Prince went from being an unpopular prince to one who rarely returned to the palace.
Because of living in the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion and eating, living, and studying with Su Yang, the Emperor paid more attention to the Ninth Prince.
When the tide rises, the Ninth Prince hasn’t really flattered anyone over the years.
Of course, there are few who flatter him, they can’t reach that high.
No special occasion, no joyous event, specifically carrying gifts to visit the Crown Prince, an act of ingratiation, the Ninth Prince was too unfamiliar with it, felt completely uncomfortable.
Shen Xing and Zhao Duan couldn’t help him much; the Ninth Prince just wanted to ask Su Yang for some good advice.
Su Yang looked at him and said, "When have you seen me giving anyone gifts?"
Ninth Prince, "...."
In this regard, Su Yang is even more inexperienced than the Ninth Prince.
Su Yang can help with other things.
For this help, he feels powerless.
"I’m not good at gift-giving," Su Yang said.
"But when relating with people, sincerity is the key."
"Beyond that, it’s up to you to grasp."
The Ninth Prince’s mouth twitched.
This was said as good as not said.
He’s a prince with no intention of contending for the throne, why should the Crown Prince be wary of him?
Why is it so hard to quietly get married?
