Miao Xiantong was flattered and couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
He doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the princess to come and give him his political achievements.
All his good luck in recent years concentrated in this year.
"Where are Nankun's spies? I want to interrogate them."
Xiao Lingyu said, "You will see them after Mid-Autumn Festival. The court is currently in a turbulent period. His Majesty may not take Lord Miao's reporting of Nan Kun's spies to the court too seriously, as Mid-Autumn Festival was already past when His Majesty learned of this. If someone in the court is colluding with Nan Kun, and this year coincides with the triennial year of mutual exchange, His Majesty may let Lord Miao deal with Nan Kun's spies on his own, or even release them."
Just a few words made Miao Xiantong understand that it was not a good thing for Nan Kun's spies to be discovered at this time. If he was not careful, he would offend people he could not afford to offend.
Since the princess wants to report to the court through him, there must be a foolproof plan.
"Mrs. Su, do you have any good ideas?"
"I heard that there are several aristocratic families living in Huayang County?"
"Yes, Madam Su. The Cui and Meng families' ancestral home is in Huayang County, as are several other century-old aristocratic families..."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Xingyi and I discovered Nankun's spies in Huayang County. Do you think the family colluding with Nankun could be in Huayang County?"
Miao Xiantong's heart skipped a beat. Now that the eldest prince was demoted, the second prince, who was supported by the Cui family, had the best chance of becoming the crown prince. The Cui family was the second prince's maternal family and it was very likely that they were colluding with Nan Kun. If so, wouldn't the second prince be suspected of rebellion?
It is also possible that other princes are in collusion with the prince and Nan Kun.
"Madam Su, if this is true, it may involve..." the fight for the throne.
Su Xing meant that Miao Xiantong did not continue speaking, and Xiao Lingyu naturally understood.
"Master Miao, if this is the case, your memorial may not reach His Majesty and will be stopped."
Miao Xiantong said: "I have no choice but to report this matter to the emperor. Madam Su, do you have any suggestions?"
"To have His Majesty see the memorial you submitted and take it seriously, we need a powerful family to help. The Meng family is the best candidate."
Miao Xiantong hurriedly said, "Master Qi Lianli is the prefect of Huayang County. I will report this matter to Master Qi, and he will interact with the Meng family."
"No, Master Qi's every move will attract the attention of other aristocratic families. Master Qi has close ties with the Meng family, so how can he escape the Cui family's eyes?"
Miao Xiantong frowned and thought for a moment, "What should I do? My official account doesn't carry much weight, and the Meng family might not take my words seriously."
"In three days, our family of six will go to the Lu family in Huayang County to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let me negotiate with the Meng family, okay? After all, the emperor hasn't reclaimed my title of Protector of the Nation, so I should be more concerned about state affairs..."
The princess is indeed the best candidate. Apart from Lord Qi, the children of noble families serving as officials in Beijing have seen the princess. Other families don't know her at all, let alone the Cui family.
"Madam Su, this matter is of great importance. Please be careful and cautious."
Xiao Lingyu took a few sips of tea and spoke after a while, "We must draw the Emperor's attention. The ultimate goal of this matter is for the two countries to coexist peacefully for the next ten years. Lord Miao, just follow my instructions from now on."
Miao Xiantong said hurriedly: "I will follow the princess's arrangements in everything."
Only then did Su Xingyi realize the importance of the "Princess", who could actually make the head of a county obey her orders.
"We'll hand over Nankun's spies to you after we return from Huayang County. It's getting late, so Xingyi and I will be leaving now."
"Okay, I'll see you off."
When they arrived outside the government office, Xiao Lingyu suddenly asked, "Is that big mooncake delicious?"
"It's delicious, very delicious, sweet but not greasy, and it weighs a full ten pounds. I tried a small piece and will save the rest for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Master Miao, as long as you like it, it's fine."
"Hahaha……"
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Lu family villa, I heard some loud and magical laughter of children coming from the direction of Lan Tingxuan.
"What makes the children so happy?"
"Master Su, Madam Su." Zhou Tong came over, "My son-in-law is back. He is accompanying the children in Lantingxuan now."
"Okay, let's go over there quickly."
“Whoosh—”
A huge ball fell from the sky, as if it had eyes, and smashed towards the couple.
"Ma'am, be careful."
The first thing Yan Wei thought of was to protect the princess. He took a run-up and kicked towards the big ball.
Su Xingyi was one step faster than him. He reached out and held the ball in his arms. The ball seemed to be very powerful, forcing Su Xingyi to take several steps back.
Su Xingyi thought of the small stone that flew over this morning and suddenly realized something.
"Dad, Mom, are you okay?" Su Ning'an appeared in front of the couple with a panicked look on his face, and quickly took the Cuju and hid it behind him.
"Were you the one who kicked the Cuju over here just now?" Su Xing thought that this place was still some distance away from Lan Tingxuan. It was conceivable that Su Ning'an had used a lot of strength to kick the Cuju here.
"I...I accidentally kicked it here. Did it hit Dad?"
"No, don't worry, the cuju is so light that it can't hurt me."
Xiao Lingyu put his arm around Su Ning'an's shoulders and said, "Mom hasn't played Cuju for a long time. Can you take me to play with you guys?"
"good."
"And me, your dad wants to play too."
The back garden of Lantingxuan is as big as half a football field.
"Chu Yu, have you just come back?" Xiao Lingyu asked knowingly.
Si Chuyu smiled and said, "You guys just left and I came back right after. It's just right that you're back. Let's play Cuju with the kids together, right?"
