Chapter 23: A Bad Trick

It was a warm spring day, and Su Xiyao and Mrs. Su were strolling in the back garden of the Military Advisor's Mansion. Since He Ran and Su Ge had a fight, the number of times Mrs. Su came to see the eldest princess had increased significantly.

Su Xiyao has been familiar with her since she was a child. She is not allowed to be polite in private situations. When walking side by side, Su Xiyao asked: "Do they still quarrel when they meet?"

Mrs. Su smiled and said: "The military advisor is a big man, and I don't care about him at all. He always smiles every time he comes. But my husband has no bearing at all and talks coldly. It really embarrasses the military advisor."

Su Xiyao shook her head with a smile and said: "You don't have to say good things for him. I know best what he is. His biggest characteristic is that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. As long as he is satisfied, you can scold him no matter what. He is

Never shameless."

Mrs. Su covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Look at what the eldest lady said, you think that such a good military advisor is like a rogue in the market."

"You take him for granted, don't you? Su Ge is still angry, isn't he trying to push for new policies again? No one can do anything to someone like him." Su Xiyao sighed, but the corner of her mouth

Unconsciously, a smile appeared.

Mrs. Su leaned close to her ear and whispered affectionately: "I can't hide the joy in my heart, and my expression is revealed."

Su Xiyao gave her a shy look, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Mrs. Su smiled at her, and then sighed sincerely: "God will take pity on the eldest lady, and only a military advisor is worthy of the eldest lady. Su Ge and I are happy for the eldest lady every time we mention it.

It's a joke to know that I know the old lady secretly." She couldn't help but darken when she mentioned her old master. Seeing Su Xiyao's expression also darkened, she hurriedly said, "The eldest lady still has to help us talk to the military advisor when she finds time.

Please say nice things and don’t let their brothers lose their harmony.”

"I don't need to say this. He understands it in his heart. Don't think that he is smiling playfully with everyone. In fact, he has a strong sense of self-respect and self-love. He only behaves like this with himself. If he didn't really regard Su Ge as his brother, he would have turned against him long ago.

Already."

"Yes, yes, I really feel that I owe the military advisor, this Su Ge, alas. In fact, he also regards the military advisor as a good brother. When I mention the military advisor, I always feel happy and admire him. I always think that he has good character and high talents. It is God who has blessed the Su family.

He was sent to the eldest lady because he couldn't figure out what happened this time. Even so, he didn't really want to fall out with the military advisor. It will be fine once the knot in his heart is resolved."

Su Xiyao stopped and looked at her and said, "You have the same knot in your heart as him, right?"

Mrs. Su sighed and said: "To be fair to you, Miss, I really can't figure it out. Even if the military advisor has a thousand reasons, he shouldn't reduce the royal power, but... I can't think of the fact that he is an extraordinary talent.

, Everything he did before was right, and maybe it makes sense this time. As a woman, I can’t discern the mystery. Since the young master and the eldest lady support him, I have no choice but to advise Su Ge not to be stubborn. "

Su Xiyao smiled slightly and said: "You are right to think so. You are right. He is indeed an extraordinary talent. His vision is far better than mine. He sees giving and gaining very clearly. Everything he does is

Since we mediocre people can't help with Hetian Dao's matters, we'd better not cause him any trouble."

"I have written it down." Mrs. Su said with a smile, "I heard that the military advisor has been reviewing cases these days. It is very interesting to think that the trial of a case by someone like the military advisor is very interesting. I really want to go and listen to it."

Su Xiyao said with a smile: "I just hope he doesn't make such a big deal."

Mrs. Su laughed and said, "I really can't imagine how he would look like in court. I heard that there are also serious moments. Su Ge said that when the military advisor glared at him, he felt panicked."

Su Xiyao shook her head and said: "When he smiles and seems happy, others should panic. Often, at that time, he already has evil thoughts."

Mrs. Su said in confusion: "Every time I see him, he seems to be smiling happily."

A knowing smile bloomed on Su Xiyao's face, and she picked a flower without saying anything.

Mrs. Su also picked one, held it up to Su Xiyao's pretty face and praised: "The young lady is even more beautiful and delicate than this flower."

Su Xiyao glanced at her shyly, and saw Mrs. Nuanyu and Mingqin Chaduo in the pavilion from a distance, saying, "Let's go over and listen to what they are talking about."

"Okay." Mrs. Su agreed and walked away.

Su Xiyao stopped her, pointed to the path covered with flowers and plants next to her, blinked her bright eyes and said, "Sneak over there."

Mrs. Su couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Miss, you are really... the more you live, the more you behave like a naughty boy. You were never so naughty when you were a child."

Su Xiyao pursed her lips and smiled. She bent down and walked towards the pavilion under the cover of tall vegetation. She was close to the place where there were only a few steps away. Just when she was secretly happy that she had not been discovered, a shout suddenly came from behind:

"Sister Nuanyu, be careful, someone is creeping over to eavesdrop."

Su Xiyao stamped her feet angrily and turned back to glare at He Ran who was running quickly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Nuanyu saw Su Xiyao and Mrs. Su standing up straight, and said loudly: "Evil people have their own evil, and such a big eldest princess is so shameless for being a sneak eavesdropper!"

When He Ran came closer, he saw that the person beside Su Xiyao was not Xiaozhu but Mrs. Su. He hurriedly saluted and said: "I thought it was Xiaozhu, but it turned out to be my sister-in-law, which made my sister-in-law laugh."

Mrs. Su held back her smile and returned the gift, then excused herself to everyone.

After Mrs. Su left, Su Xiyao yelled at He Ran angrily and hatefully: "We worked so hard to get here, it's hard to get rid of the anger without beating you!"

He Ran smiled and ran to the pavilion and shouted to Mrs. Nuanyu: "Sister, you have to help me. I provoked her to save you."

Mrs. Nuanyu and Mingqin Chaduo covered their mouths and smiled.

Su Xiyao entered the pavilion, glared at him first, and then asked: "Aren't you going to review the case? Why did you come back after such a short time?"

He Ran said: "I have to rest for a few days. The case will not be tried for now."

Su Xiyao curled her lips and said: "You only took office for twenty days, and even in these twenty days, I have never been busy for a few days. Most of them come back in one or two hours. Compared with others, you are busy every day."

Resting."

"That's true." Mrs. Nuanyu supported with a smile.

He Ran looked at the two of them and snorted, and said with an arrogant expression: "I am busy for an hour as someone else is busy for a month. No, it should be a year. How can I, a talented person like me who governs a big country like cooking small delicacies, be busy?"

Are they too busy and obsessed with tedious tasks? Just give them some outline and guidance."

"You are so shameless!" Mingqin Chaduo said, shaving her pretty face with her jade fingers.

Mrs. Nuanyu came up and pinched his face in amusement, and said: "Come and touch him, it's all skin and no flesh."

Su Xiyao and Mingqin Chaduo smiled hand in hand.

He Ran smiled and pushed away Mrs. Nuanyu's hand and said: "The secret report said that Zhao State is sending an envoy again. According to the national etiquette, if Pingjiang is not in charge, the minister must meet the envoy. I have to hide, so I can't

Let’s go back to politics, um... I think it’s better to go back to Zangxian Valley first. Do you originally intend to stay here or go back?”

"Then go back." Su Xiyao spoke first.

Mrs. Nuanyu looked at Mingqin Chaduo and said, "Sister, you haven't had enough shopping in the royal city yet. I'll stay with you for a few more days."

Mingqin Chaduo came to her side and whispered: "Thank you sister for your kindness. Let's... let's go back first."

Mrs. Nuanyu said in her ear with a smile in her eyes: "You can't leave him for just a moment?"

Mingqin Chaduo's pretty face turned red, she bit her cherry lips and pushed her nervously.

Su Xiyao looked at them and asked, "What are you muttering about? Are you going back or not?"

"Go back, go back." Mrs. Nuanyu replied with a smile.

Su Xiyao said worriedly: "This envoy won't stay around like the last time you went to Zhao as an envoy, right? If so, wouldn't it be delayed in what you want to do?"

He Ran narrowed his eyes and said: "What I'm saying is, it's not okay to stay here. I don't have a clue about what I'm doing at hand. Let's do this. Let's not go back. If this envoy really wants to stay, I'll

He must be driven away."

"How to rush?" Mingqin Chaduo looked at him seriously and asked.

Mrs. Nuanyu said with a smile: "Stop asking, his dirty tricks will taint your ears."

He Ran didn't care, looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and said, "If you get annoyed, I'll find an excuse and order someone to beat him back with a stick."

Mrs. Nuanyu said angrily: "You are not being serious as you talk. This is to humiliate the messenger..." At this point, she stopped, as if she had thought of something.

He Ran chuckled and said: "You see, this is exactly the right thing to do. I'm worried that I don't have an excuse to tear up the covenant, but the time is a bit early. Let's take a look before talking."

"How has the case gone during the past two days?" Su Xiyao changed the subject.

He Ran nodded with satisfaction and said: "I didn't ask anything, the people in the Criminal Department are doing their best."

"Are you going out later?" Su Xiyao asked.

Mrs. Nuanyu interjected: "Don't go out, go and play chess with her. We won't watch that kind of chess game where we hug each other."

Su Xiyao was ashamed and angry, and spat: "Why don't you talk so glibly now?"

He Ran laughed and said: "Okay, I'll get the chess pieces, let's play here."

Mrs. Nuanyu said: "I'll call Sijing to go."

He Ran looked at Sijing, who was selflessly fluttering butterflies by the pond, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let her play, I'll go there."

Looking at He Ran's retreating figure, Mingqin Chaduo said with emotion: "He is really considerate of his servants."

Su Xiyao smiled and said: "That's because he can't offend anyone, especially Jing'er. He loves the house and the bird, so he can't bear to use it."

Mrs. Nuanyu retorted: "Yes, he is reluctant to call Jing'er, but how can he go to Xiaozhu? Xiaozhu can order him at every turn. If an outsider sees it, they will definitely not be able to tell who is the master and who is the servant."

"Young Master Jing'er summons him? There is nothing to say when Xiaozhu summons him, because the two of them have been together since he was not the master."

Mrs. Nuanyu said with a smile: "According to what you say, there is nothing to say about Jing'er ordering him, because when the two met, he was just a small scout, and such a small official was too lazy to ask Jing'er to order him.

The order is here."

Su Xiyao curled her lips and said, "You want to show off your power in the past to us, so I made it clear."

Mrs. Nuanyu said proudly: "So what if you show off? Don't forget that when you saw me, you bowed and saluted me without even daring to raise your head."

"Not just at the beginning, now we are so suppressed by you that we don't dare to raise our heads."

Mrs. Nuanyu pointed at her and said, "Then why don't you lower your head for me!"

Mingqin Chaduo couldn't help laughing anymore and asked Su Xiyao: "How majestic was Sister Nuanyu back then? Sister, please tell me."

Mrs. Nuanyu said angrily: "Are you helping her or me?"

Su Xiyao took the Mingqin tea cup, pursed her lips and smiled: "Good sister, I have to tell you this in detail."
