"But why is the emperor unwilling to use General Chen Yi? I heard that General Chen Yi has always said that he wants to go and pacify Tubo." Su Mengyan thought of someone again.
"You don't know, I promised Chen Yalan that if I found the right person, I would not let her father go to the battlefield. After all, he is old. If nothing happened, Chen Yalan would just be angry and wouldn't say anything. But if something went wrong, wouldn't Chen Yalan say that I was treacherous?" Situ Yao frowned. He had no choice but to choose Chu Yunshan.
So that's how it is. Looking at Situ Yao's frowning brows, Su Mengyan also realized that this matter was not that simple.
It is said that the emperor is above everyone else, and his every command is obeyed by everyone, and his every word is the law. But who can understand that the emperor also has his own difficulties and has to do things he doesn't like for some reasons.
After Situ Yao explained the pros and cons of this matter, Su Mengyan also understood it and sighed. It seemed that it was impossible to stop Chu Yunshan from going.
However, Su Mengyan spoke again: "If you really want to arrange for Chu Yunshan to go far away to pacify Tubo, why not arrange for Chu Meng to meet him again? After all, they are father and daughter. Chu Meng also told me that she wants to see her father again."
However, after Su Mengyan finished speaking, Situ Yao's eyebrows, which had been slightly calm, furrowed again. Let Chu Yunshan and his daughter meet?
It's not that he is heartless, but the harem cannot allow outsiders to enter easily. Usually, some outsiders come in because their daughters are concubines in the harem, but Chu Meng does not have such privileges in the harem.
"This doesn't seem appropriate." After thinking about it, Situ Yao still refused.
Su Mengyan felt a little reluctant when she thought about how Chu Meng would react if she couldn't see her father. Chu Meng and her father depended on each other for survival. What's wrong with her just wanting to see her father before he went to the battle?
Thinking of this, Su Mengyan felt that she should still strive for something. If nothing else, just because Chu Yunshan fought for the country, Chu Meng should see his father.
"Your Majesty, Chu Yunshan went to the battlefield for the country. It would be a bit inhumane if he couldn't see his daughter!" Su Mengyan said.
What Su Mengyan said made sense. Situ Yao was speechless for a moment. He seemed a little cruel if he said that they should not meet, but it was also against the rules if he let them meet.
For a moment, Situ Yao didn't know what to do. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he said with a smile: "Let's forget about this matter for now. You haven't been out of the palace for a long time. I'll take you out to play tomorrow."
Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao curiously, not quite understanding why he suddenly wanted to take her out to play. Suddenly, she thought that Chu Yunshan was an outsider and it was not convenient for him to enter the palace. However, if Chu Meng went out, then the two of them could meet.
So that's how it was. In order to avoid breaking the rules and not be accused of being heartless, Situ Yao came up with this idea. It would allow Chu Yunshan and his daughter to meet, and he could also take Su Mengyan out to play.
"Okay, I'll prepare it tomorrow." After thinking through these things, Su Mengyan smiled and agreed.
The night passed quickly in silence.
After Situ Yao got up, he went to court. After Situ Yao left, Su Mengyan asked the palace maids to prepare the things she needed for going out for fun.
Knowing that the Emperor was going to take the Empress out for a trip, Bixia was a little worried. Su Mengyan's belly was already quite big. What if something happened outside?
No, the Queen cannot be allowed to leave. Bixia made up her mind and she must change the Queen's mind.
So, Bixia came to Su Mengyan and said to her with a worried look on her face: "Empress, do you really have to go out? I think it's not a good time to go out. How about waiting until the prince is born?"
At this time, Su Mengyan was directing the young palace maids to pack up their things. She was in high spirits when she heard Bixia's words and said carelessly, "Ah, why? Going out after giving birth is a matter for the future. Going out now is a matter for the present. There is no conflict."
The palace maids hadn't seen Su Mengyan so excited for a long time. It seemed that Su Mengyan was like an innocent little girl who was as excited as getting her favorite toy.
Everyone felt a lot more relaxed, except Bixia, who looked sad, as if someone had bullied her.
"Empress, please listen to me and go out later, okay?" Bixia didn't dare to say that because Su Mengyan was pregnant and was afraid of something happening, she could only say this.
Su Mengyan thought about it for a moment and knew that Bixia was worried because she was concerned about herself. Su Mengyan naturally did not blame Bixia. Instead, she smiled and said to Bixia, "Okay, okay, I know you care about me. How about this, take Xu Chen'an with you as well. You can rest assured now."
Although Bixia was still worried, she could see that Su Mengyan had to go out of the palace for a trip. So, she felt more at ease taking Xu Chen'an with her.
Therefore, the people who went out of the palace for fun changed from Su Mengyan alone to Su Mengyan, Xu Chenan, Yu Xiang, and Chu Meng.
Originally, Su Mengyan went out of the palace to play with the intention of letting Chu Yunshan and his daughter meet, so naturally she had to bring Chu Meng with her. Xu Chen'an brought her for Su Mengyan's health, and Xu Chen'an asked Su Mengyan to take Yu Xiang with him because he knew she could leave the palace.
Su Mengyan thought that one more person wouldn't make much difference, so she agreed.
When An Lirong came to Su Mengyan, she saw that the palace maids were busy packing up, so she grabbed a maid and asked them what they were doing.
"The Emperor is going to take the Empress out of the palace, and we are preparing things." The maid said truthfully.
Leave the palace. An Lirong was shocked by this word. She also wanted to leave the palace. She wanted to see her mother. She had not seen her mother for so long since she entered the palace. Otherwise, she would ask the Queen to take her out.
Thinking of this, An Lirong did what she said and immediately ran to Su Mengyan to confirm the news of leaving the palace. An Lirong said a little embarrassedly: "Empress, can you take me with you? I just miss my mother a little."
Su Mengyan did not expect that even An Lirong wanted to leave the palace. Thinking about how An Lirong and her mother depended on each other, especially like Chu Yunshan and his son, Su Mengyan did not want to refuse.
Su Mengyan agreed immediately. An Lirong was very excited and went back to pack her things immediately.
At the palace gate, Situ Yao waited for Su Mengyan's arrival after leaving the court. After waiting for a while, he saw Su Mengyan walking towards him with a smile.
