Chapter 477: The Secret of the Crown Prince, Reluctant to Part with His Wife

Susu is still young and likes to eat and play. If she is not in the palace, Susu will definitely miss her.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to Mobei alone? That's so dangerous." Xiao Jinyu looked at Susu in Shen Chuwei's arms. Susu was still young and didn't understand what Shen Chuwei meant. She was looking at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Xiao Huang."

Xiao Jinyu: “…” When will you learn to call me little emperor uncle?

Shen Chu shook his head slightly: "No, my father will arrange for the generals to go with him."

Xiao Jinyu has always wanted to go to the battlefield and kill enemies like his brother, the Crown Prince, but he has never had the chance. He thinks this is an opportunity.

"I will go with my sister-in-law. I will go to see my father now."

After saying this, Xiao Jinyu strode away.

Shen Chuwei sighed as she watched Xiao Jinyu leave. What are you going to do?

"Mom, Xiao Huang won't hold the baby." Susu said aggrievedly.

Shen Chuwei looked down at her daughter. Seeing her aggrieved expression, she explained, "He is the emperor's uncle. It's not that he doesn't want to hold the baby, but that he has something else to do and can't take care of it."

Susu tilted her head and called out, "Xiao Huang~Su?"

Shen Chuwei knew that her daughter's pronunciation was not accurate enough, so she explained: "It's Little Imperial Uncle, you can't call him Little Huang."

Susu patted her chest and said, "Baby knows, it's Xiao Huang~Su."

Shen Chuwei: “…” You can just call it Egg Yolk Crisp.

Xiao Jinyu went straight to Yu's study. He arrived at a coincidental time. Just after the discussion was over, the ministers were coming out of Yu's study one after another.

When they saw Xiao Jinyu, they all came forward and saluted.

Xiao Jinyu waved his hand and strode into Yu's study.

"Father, I want to accompany the Crown Princess to Mobei."

The emperor rubbed his forehead, and his headache became even more painful after hearing this.

"You little bastard only knows how to stir up trouble."

Xiao Jinyu retorted in dissatisfaction: "Father, how can you evaluate your son like this? If I am a bastard, what are you?"

The emperor was so angry that his eyes widened and he slammed the table angrily, "You are rebelling?"

Xiao Jinyu swallowed his saliva secretly, and his voice became weaker: "Father, I came here to talk about serious matters. You didn't tell me that the Crown Prince was in trouble. I practiced riding and archery every day, and now it comes in handy."

At the end, his tone couldn't help but get a little louder.

The emperor said angrily: "Shut up!"

Xiao Jinyu called out in a coquettish tone: "Father."

The emperor slowed down his tone and said, "Just stay in the palace and you don't need to worry about these things."

Xiao Jinyu said, "I don't want to worry about it, but the prince's life and death are uncertain, how can I, as his younger brother, just sit there and watch?"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. "Do you think you can go to the battlefield just because you can ride and shoot twice? Do you think you can go to the battlefield just because you kill a few prey during the autumn hunting? These are far from enough!"

Xiao Jinyu stiffened his neck and said, "Of course I know that this is not enough, so I have to go to the battlefield to help my brother, the crown prince."

emperor:"……"

Xiao Jinyu called out coquettishly, "Father."

The emperor said earnestly, "The battlefield is dangerous. You are different from the prince. You have been spoiled since childhood. You don't know as much as the prince, and you are not as good at strategy. How can I let you go to the battlefield? I am not saying that you are not good enough. These are experiences that need to be accumulated after experience. You don't even attend the morning court and don't care about your own fiefdom. How can you go to the battlefield?"

"If your mother knew, she would definitely be angry." The last sentence is the key point.

He had finally managed to ease the relationship with the Queen. If he let Yuer go to the battlefield, he might not even be able to enter the gate of Fengyi Palace.

"Your son is going to find your mother." Xiao Jinyu said and ran out without looking back.

The emperor looked at his son and sighed helplessly.

When the queen learned that her youngest son was going to Mobei, she directly refused, "No, you can't go."

Xiao Jinyu hugged his mother's shoulders and said coquettishly, "Mother, I have been spoiled since I was a child and have never done anything well. This is a good opportunity. I will not let you down."

The queen looked at her little son who was a head taller than her. She had watched him grow up with her own eyes and was reluctant to let him suffer even a little bit. So how could she bear to let him go to the battlefield?

"Yu'er, I am afraid. The prince has already gone to the battlefield, and I cannot let you go. If anything happens to you, how will I live?"

Xiao Jinyu knew his mother was shaken when he heard this, and he continued, "Mother, I know you love me, but the Crown Prince is suffering, and as a younger brother, I cannot stay out of it. Mother, don't worry, wait for me and the Crown Prince to come back together."

The queen saw that her son was determined to leave. She suddenly asked, "Can you bear to leave your wife?"

Xiao Jinyu was stunned when he heard this. It would take more than a few days for him to leave for Mobei, and he would definitely be reluctant to leave his wife.

But didn’t the prince and his sister-in-law separate before?

That year, the prince and his wife were separated for nearly half a year, which was not long, but not short either.

He could now vaguely understand how the Crown Prince endured the pain of missing his lover.

"It's not like I won't come back. If I'm lucky, maybe my wife will be pregnant too." Xiao Jinyu said with a smile.

The queen sighed helplessly, "Yu'er has grown up after all. I just hope you can be safe and sound. I don't expect you to be outstanding."

Xiao Jinyu said: "I understand your worries, mother, and I will definitely return victorious."

The queen did not try to dissuade him, "Mother believes in you."

Xiao Jinyu was somewhat moved. He looked at his mother, and after struggling for a long time, he finally asked.

"Mother, I have something I want to ask you. Was it you who first suggested that my brother be the hostage in my place?"

The queen's expression changed when she heard this: "Who told you that?"

When Xiao Jinyu saw that his mother's face looked a little strange, he had a vague answer in his heart.

"Mother, is this what the old people in the palace said true?" He couldn't help but ask again.

The queen said helplessly: "It happened many years ago. Why are you still entangled in this issue?"

Xiao Jinyu expressed all the doubts in his heart over the years, which were also what he had always wanted to ask.

"Since my prince brother came back from Nanzhao Kingdom, my mother has been distancing herself from him. He is obviously your son, so why do you always speak coldly to him?"

"It's all in the past, don't mention it anymore." The queen obviously didn't want to talk about the past.

Xiao Jinyu did not continue asking because he planned to ask again when he came back.

"Mother, when the crown prince comes back this time, can you celebrate his birthday?"

Xiao Jinyu has always been curious about the Crown Prince's birthday, but no one told him and the Crown Prince didn't tell him either.

He learned this from Liu Xi last year. Every year, his mother celebrated his birthday for him, but the Crown Prince just watched from the side. He couldn't imagine how the Crown Prince felt at that time.

The queen was stunned when she heard this.

The empress agreed to let Xiao Jinyu go to the battlefield, and the emperor said nothing more, and General Xu went with him to Mobei.

Xiao Jinyu returned to Qiancheng Hall. As soon as he entered the room, he hugged his wife and buried his head in her neck, his voice filled with reluctance.

"Ayan."

Miss Han looked down at Xiao Jinyu and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jinyu said, "I'm going to Mobei. You should stay in the palace and don't stay at home all the time. Go and play with Susu when you have nothing to do. I promise you will be in a good mood all day."

Miss Han frowned, "Why do you suddenly want to go to Mobei? Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Xiao Jinyu explained, "I just learned today that the Crown Prince had an accident in Mobei, and my sister-in-law is going to Mobei. As the Crown Prince's younger brother, I naturally have to go to help the Crown Prince. Because the incident happened suddenly, I didn't have time to discuss it with you. I know that Ayan will definitely support me in doing this."

Miss Han: “…”

Xiao Jinyu coaxed, "Ayan, don't be angry. I promise to resolve this quickly and come back to reunite with you soon."

Miss Han looked at Xiao Jinyu coldly: "Have you ever thought about taking me with you?"

Xiao Jinyu lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Mobei is too dangerous. How can I bear to let you suffer with me? I can only feel at ease when you are in the palace."

Miss Han snorted coldly: "Sly excuse."

Xiao Jinyu grabbed her wrist and threw her onto the bed. "Ah Yan, I didn't. I really couldn't bear to leave you. If we were going out to play, I would definitely take you with me. But going out to kill the enemy is different from playing. I can't take you with me."

Miss Han looked at him steadily and said, "I don't believe it."

"I'll make you believe it." Xiao Jinyu said as he bent down to kiss her, wanting to tell her with practical actions how much he was reluctant to let her go.

Miss Han took a long time to utter a sentence: "Xiao Jinyu, you have learned bad things."

Xiao Jinyu looked at the clothes that were usually so plain, his face turned red, his breath became unstable, and he felt like stopping but couldn't.

"Ayan, I will be leaving for Mobei the day after tomorrow. I will really miss you."

Miss Han: “…”

The day before departure, Shen Chuwei asked Chunxi to pick all the corn in the small vegetable garden, and also take out sweet potatoes, salted fish, etc.
