The Noble Empress

The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.

Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...

Chapter 374 Let the Chang family girl embroider a piece for Madam Lin

Also leave the wedding ceremony to him?

Chen Sui now felt something was wrong. Why was it all him? What about the prince's younger brother and his master?

Yan Xingchuan said, "Your absence from duty is a grave error. I originally wanted to transfer you back to guard Tianmen Pass, but if you complete this marriage ceremony and relieve me of my worries, I will only punish you according to military regulations. You can continue to follow me in my crusade against the Great Zhou."

"If you don't want to, that's fine too. I think General Qin and General Cheng would be happy to exchange with you."

Speaking of this, Shen Sui's expression finally changed.

Yan Xingchuan had found his fatal weakness, and he was the one who made the mistake first, so he was caught.

"Okay, as for the wedding ceremony, if Madam Lin has no objection, I will complete it for the prince." He agreed.

"That's the best." Yan Xingchuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "I will dispatch General Cheng to the south to take your place. Beiyan City is relatively stable with General Qin guarding Tianmen Pass. I plan to dispatch General Chang to guard Beiyan City."

"Once the matter of Beiyan City is settled, you will follow me south. General Cheng will guard the seven southwestern states and deal with the southwestern kings. You will discuss the matter of conquering the Great Zhou with me."

With both kindness and force, Shen Sui was unable to say anything against it and could only nod in agreement.

But in reality, it seems that he didn't pay anything.

It was just a wedding ceremony. In Yan Xingchuan's opinion, it was like the sky was falling. However, Shen Sui did not take it to heart, nor did he take his future wife's thoughts to heart.

"As you command."

"Okay, you've been exhausted from the journey, you should go back and rest."

Yan Xingchuan asked Shen Sui to go back and rest, and then ordered someone to invite General Cheng to arrange for him to go south.

"I have already sent people to Tianmen Pass to summon General Chang. When he returns, you will immediately hand over the affairs of Beiyan City to him, and then lead your men south to the seven southwestern states to find a military advisor."

"Chen Sui has returned suddenly. I'm worried that the fleeing Xiling King will return with his men. I'm also worried that without Chen Sui, the other kings will join forces to attack Nanhuai and Xiling. I also have to be vigilant against the Nanhuai King."

General Cheng also learned about Shen Sui's sudden return and was so angry that he jumped up and down. After hearing this, he cursed harshly:

"This bastard, I felt sorry for him back then, so I asked him to give way, but he came back without doing the job properly. If I saw him, I would definitely beat him to death."

It would be fine if Yan Xingchuan didn’t come back, but if Yan Xingchuan came back and he came back too, wouldn’t that be a mess?

That is the territory of the seven southwestern states, and there are even 100,000 troops there. If something happens, it would be fine if he loses the territory, but if he harms these soldiers, it would not be a pity even if he dies a hundred times.

"No, I have to go find him."

Yan Xingchuan glanced at him and said, "Now is not the time to worry about this. Once you have entrusted the matter to me, take your personal guards and head south. When the time comes, I will take over the seven southwestern states. Then the military advisor can relax and have a good sleep."

Shen Sui suddenly left his post, and Shangguan Tong must be so worried that he can't sleep.

"As for Chen Sui...someone will naturally teach him a lesson in the future."

"That's true." General Cheng snorted coldly and didn't bother to care.

Before Shen Sui returned to Beiyan City, General Cheng spoke for him. Now that he knew what he did, he felt that he deserved it.

I don't care.

"Go get ready."

"As you command."

Beiyan City is the foundation of Beiyan. The families of many generals and civil officials are here. The generals stationed here must, first, be able to hold up the overall situation after the fall of Tianmen Pass, second, be able to suppress the people in the city and control them, and third, be patient and careful enough.

It has to be said that General Cheng has long been tired of staying here, but General Qin is a cold and tough guy. He won't argue with you unless he can get physical. He would rather guard Tianmen Pass than take this job.

There are many things to pay attention to here, and General Cheng must sort them out carefully and hand them over to General Chang to avoid any mistakes later.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

On the other side, Shen Sui did not leave the Northern Yan Palace immediately, but prepared to visit Lin Qingning. However, he was stopped by the guards in the palace before he took a few steps.

"General Shen, please stay. The inner part is the residence where Madam Lin lives. You are not allowed to trespass."

It would have been fine if Yan Xingchuan lived alone in the mansion in the past, but now that Lin Qingning is here too, it is naturally impossible for anyone to barge in.

Shen Sui reacted and nodded, saying, "I'm here to see Madam Lin. Please send someone to tell her."

"Wait a moment. I'll have the maid in the inner courtyard pass the message."

After the guard said this, he went to the gate and called a maid over, explained the situation, and asked her to pass on the message.

The maid was somewhat reluctant, but since she was caught, she could only nod and agree and go to deliver the message.

After a while, Lin Qingning's personal maid Hua Yue hurried over. When she saw Chen Sui, a smile immediately appeared on her face: "General Shen, you are back. It's really great. If you hadn't come back, I would have been bullied to death."

Upon hearing this, Shen Sui's face darkened: "Who bullied Madam Lin? Who dared?"

Who is Lin Qingning? She is a cousin of the Yan family and the only remaining blood relative of Yan Xingchuan. In this Beiyan City, who dares to bully her?

Who is so brave?

"Who else could it be? It's General Shen's fiancée, Madam Chang!" Hua Yue tilted her head slightly and sneered, very dissatisfied.

"My wife just asked her to come and keep her company, to play a few songs and compose a few poems, but she kept refusing this and that, and simply didn't take my wife seriously."

"Also, before, my wife simply thought she was good at embroidery and wanted her to embroider a painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains to celebrate her birthday. It was just a small thing, but I didn't expect her to report it to the master, causing my wife to be scolded by him."

"My wife has cried several times because of this. You said she didn't want to do it, so why is she still complaining?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Sui immediately said, "I have already written a letter to reprimand the Chang family girl. She will definitely not dare to do it again in the future. It's just a painting of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Since Madam Lin likes it, I will send someone to the Chang family later and ask the Chang family girl to embroider a piece for Madam Lin."

Hua Yue hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise, but she couldn't quite believe it. She hurriedly asked, "Really? Does Madam Chang really want to embroider?"

Shen Sui said: "It is a blessing for Madam Lin to embroider for her. She was ignorant before. I will talk to her properly."

Hua Yue rolled her eyes and saw that Chen Sui had a cold expression, but his words were serious and did not seem to be lying. Suddenly, she smiled like a peach blossom in spring.

"Then I would like to thank General Shen on behalf of my wife. General Shen doesn't know how long my wife has been looking forward to this painting. If she can get what she wants, she will definitely be very happy."

"General Shen, please come this way. Your wife is waiting for you in the courtyard..."
