Chapter 1493: It’s better to be a fool, just follow behind and win
By the way, Tang Bao was not sure in advance whether Xuanyuan Jin would definitely go on a diplomatic mission to Western Qin.
According to her, she did not agree with Xuanyuan Jin taking risks.
Moreover, the Emperor and the Empress may not agree.
However, I had a vague feeling in my heart that the little brother would definitely go.
Even if the Emperor and the Empress disagree.
Therefore, when Tang Bao received the imperial edict, it was both unexpected and expected.
"As the crown prince, it is naturally his duty to take part in matters concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries! Even if the emperor forbids him to go, he will definitely take the initiative to ask for permission to go."
Tang Bao spoke righteously to her little brother, establishing a glorious image of a man of great righteousness.
"That's true." Princess Linghua nodded in agreement and said, "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cold and aloof, he is the most outstanding and responsible of all the princes."
Princess Linghua finished speaking, thought for a moment, looked at Tang Bao, and said thoughtfully: "Then again, if you don't go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... may not necessarily go..."
Tang Bao: “…”
After Princess Linghua finished speaking, an expression of sudden realization appeared on her face. She gave Tang Bao a look that said, "You know what I mean." She acted like a wise person and said in a positive tone, "That must be the case! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects you like the apple of his eye. Even a fool knows that he won't let you go to such a long place alone. He will definitely follow you."
Tang Bao: "...You just thought of this, which means you were a fool before?"
Tang Bao rolled her eyes.
Princess Linghua was not annoyed. She just laughed and said, "In front of a little girl like you who has eight tricks in your head, it doesn't matter if I become a fool."
Good for being a fool!
Fools don’t need to use their brains, they just need to follow and win.
The two talked for a while, but when Tang Bao mentioned asking Princess Linghua to go back, Princess Linghua pretended not to hear.
In Prince Cheng'en's mansion, Prince Cheng'en saw his daughter's letter and felt worried and reluctant to let her go.
However, he also knew that once his daughter made a decision, no one could change it even with eight horses.
"Someone, come! Go and prepare something and send it to the princess!"
King Cheng'en shouted anxiously.
My daughter suffered for three years in Tianlong Temple, and now she has to go out and suffer again after just a few days back...
He has the heart of an old father!
King Cheng'en rushed out while shouting, muttering anxiously.
"Food, daily necessities... In a place like Xiqin, where there's no place like home, there might not be anything you need... Those thick clothes, and incense... Oh, right! And the polished rice that Linghua eats... Ouch!"
King Cheng'en tripped and almost fell over the threshold.
Concubine Liu took a few steps forward with her belly bulging and managed to support Prince Cheng'en.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. I have already asked someone to prepare everything. I will definitely take care of the princess's food, clothing, and other expenses, and will not let her suffer any grievances outside..."
"Okay, my beloved, I trust you to do the job."
After King Cheng'en finished speaking, his eyes turned red.
"Why does Linghua have such a strong opinion?" King Cheng'en sighed.
Concubine Liu also sighed.
The princess is indeed very courageous.
This is not a trip to Tianlong Temple, it's just outside Beijing.
This is a foreign land thousands of miles away, said to be a barren land.
If this were my own daughter...
Forget it. Even if she is my own daughter, I am afraid there is nothing I can do.
After all, for so many years, the only child in Prince Cheng'en's palace was Princess Linghua, apart from the one in his belly.
Concubine Liu had several large carts of things packed up, and Prince Cheng'en sent another team of guards to chase after Princess Linghua.
On this side, Tang Bao still failed to persuade Princess Linghua to go back.
"Su Tang, you don't have to say anything. Your legs are on me. If you don't agree, I'll just follow you." Princess Linghua said stubbornly, "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. If you encounter any danger, just take care of yourself and don't worry about me."
Tang Bao sneered and his face darkened.
"Do you know who I hate the most?" Tang Bao said with a stern face, "It's the people who always say they don't cause trouble to others, but in fact they are a big troublemaker! They say they don't care about you when you are in danger. Do you think it's possible?"
Princess Linghua: "..."
impossible.
"Hmph! You know it's impossible, but you still insist on saying it. It's just an excuse for dragging others down and making yourself feel at ease!" Tang Bao said bluntly.
Princess Linghua: "..."
He lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Miss, there's a teahouse up ahead. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said we should stop by and rest for a bit."
From outside the carriage came the sound of pomegranates crunching.
After Pomegranate finished speaking, he looked at Li Zi.
Princess Linghua was also known among the ladies in the capital for her willful and capricious nature.
Who dares to provoke?
Now, in front of Tang Bao, she was scolded like a little child.
Li Zi whispered, "The little genius doctor is even better than the prince. My princess has never been so honest in front of the prince."
Well, actually the prince was just reluctant to say "no" to the princess.
"My young lady is doing this for the good of your princess," Shi Liu said quickly. "The journey is long and must be very arduous. Who knows, we might even encounter some danger."
Shi Liu already knew that Princess Mingli was pretending to be Prince Mingxuan.
Therefore, she also understood that the journey to Xi Qin was full of dangers.
After all, the crown prince of Western Qin was secretly detained and replaced with someone else.
The carriage stopped, and Tang Bao ignored Princess Linghua and got off the carriage on her own.
To be honest, although her carriage was comfortably furnished, it was still uncomfortable to sit in for a long time.
After Tang Bao got off the carriage, she stretched her legs.
"Auntie!"
The three Dapan brothers ran over.
"Aunt, please sit over there."
Da Pan said this and pointed to the teahouse not far away.
The teahouse was very simple, just a wooden shed.
However, the surrounding trees are lush and green, and wild flowers are everywhere, which is quite elegant.
"Where is my master?" Tang Bao looked at the young scholar Su Chengyao and asked.
Tang Bao deliberately stuffed her third nephew into Yu Zhilan's carriage so that Yu Zhilan could teach her nephew to read at any time.
In fact, she also wanted to squeeze Da Pan and Er Pan in there.
However, the two brothers preferred riding horses.
Seeing this, Tang Bao didn't force it.
Tang Bao knew that compared to studying, Da Pan and Er Pan preferred to wield swords and sticks.
Especially after Su Xiaoliu's death, Da Pan and Er Pan became more interested in martial arts.
It looks like one day, the two brothers will follow in Su Xiaoliu's footsteps, secretly run away from home, and join the army at the border.
Tang Bao didn't object to this.
However, if the imperial court could hold a military examination, it would be a good idea to let the two brothers try first to see if they can gain fame and honor.
