"Yes, it's still a bit cold today. We can't let ourselves get frozen. Chen'er, come into the house and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Old Madam Su took Jingchen's hand and walked into the house.
Jingchen also cooperated very well and followed his grandmother into the house.
The father and son left alone in the yard were having a love exchange.
"Chen'er, do you really have no plans at all?" Tutor Su asked solemnly.
Jing Chen also knew what his grandfather was asking, and said calmly: "It's lonely at the top. Chen'er just wants to be free and do what he likes."
"Chen'er, I know you have always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but sometimes you have to fight for yourself if not for others. I am afraid that if the Prime Minister's Mansion comes to power one day, what kind of situation you will fall into is not difficult to imagine." Taifu Su sighed heavily, his tone quite worried.
Jing Chen lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips and said, "They won't get what they want."
Master Su's eyes lit up and he said, "Chen'er, have you figured it out?"
Jing Chen changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, I plan to go to the military camp to gain some experience..."
Jing Chen wanted to go to the military camp. Apart from his close confidants, the emperor and the empress dowager knew about it, but no one else knew.
Upon hearing this, Master Su hurriedly asked, "Really?"
Jingchen nodded.
Su Taifu couldn't help but think that Chen'er going to the military camp was a good idea. With Chen'er's ability, he was definitely capable of thriving in the military camp...
Furthermore, most of the soldiers in the military camp are passionate and admire the strong. He believes that Chen'er can convince them, and this is not due to his identity, but his ability.
If Chen'er can gain the sincere obedience of the soldiers in the army, then this will be a powerful trump card.
Thinking of this, Master Su looked up at Jing Chen and nodded. After all, Chen Chen still had his own arrangements, so he felt relieved.
"Then when do you plan to leave? What does the emperor say?" Tutor Su asked again.
Jing Chen said: "Let's wait for a while, he has already agreed."
The main reason he didn't rush to leave was because he wanted to see the little girl. He had promised the little girl something, but he hadn't fulfilled his promise in person yet...
"I'll let that brat go with you, so you two brothers can take care of each other and we can discuss any problems together." said Taifu Su.
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zian walked in holding Su Chenyu by the back of her neck.
"Dad, this kid has been taught a lesson by me, please take a look." Su Zian said.
At this moment, Su Chenyu was like a wronged young wife, with her red and phoenix eyes staring longingly at Old Master Su sitting on the armchair?
Taifu Su snorted and said, "I'll give you a chance to make amends. Your cousin will be going to the military camp to hone himself later. You should go with him and work on your carefree nature."
Su Chenyu glanced at Jing Chen with resentful eyes. He was still dissatisfied with Jing Chen for kicking him off the tree just now. Now, after hearing what his grandfather said, he opened his mouth and said:
"No, what's fun in the military camp? It's just a bunch of rough guys, boring."
"Hmph, this matter is not up to you." said Su Taifu.
"Grandpa, if my cousin doesn't want to go, then forget it. His business cannot do without him. Just let him stay in the capital. You don't have to worry about Chen'er." Jing Chen said.
Su Chenyu said, "That's right, Grandpa, my Kung Fu is not as good as my cousin's! I can't help even if I go."
Su Chenyu also had his own ideas. He knew that the Queen and her son wanted to get rid of Jing Chen as soon as possible, so it would be better for him to stay in the capital to be on guard. Anyway, everything was peaceful in the army now, and his cousin would not be in any danger.
"You are quite self-aware and know that you are not as good as your son Chen." Taifu Su glanced at his grandson and said.
Su Chenyu was used to these words. The places on his body where his father had beaten him still felt a burning pain. He didn't want to say anything that would make his grandfather angry, so he just kept quiet.
"Chen'er, stay and have dinner before going back." said Old Lady Su.
"Thank you, grandma, but Chen'er has already promised you to go to Shoukang Palace, so we can only do it next time." Jing Chen said.
Madam Su said, "No problem, no problem. Your grandmother is old, so it's only natural that you spend more time with her. By the way, please pass on a message to the Empress Dowager for me. I will go to the palace to pay my respects to her another day, as a sign of respect for the monarch and her subjects."
Jing Chen smiled faintly and nodded, "Chen'er will definitely pass on the message."
In fact, when Old Lady Su and the Queen Mother were young, they were good friends. She used to often visit the palace and chat with each other. However, since Su Qingrou's death, Old Lady Su rarely visited the palace except for attending those more important court banquets.
After seeing Jing Chen off, Su Taifu sat on the armchair and pondered for a long time, then suddenly heaved a long sigh.
"well…"
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you sighing for no reason?"
Su Zian, who noticed his father's expression, asked.
"Zi'an, your father isn't senile yet, right? Even with my old age, I can still have some prestige when I go out, right?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? You are the teacher of the current emperor. Who wouldn't give you some respect and disrespectfully call you Master Su?" Su Zian said.
"It's different now. Maybe the older I get, the more I crave comfort. I can't compare to some old foxes anymore..." Taifu Su said slowly.
As the Minister of Personnel, Su Zian was well aware of the situation in the court. The Empress and her son were watching them covetously, and with the Prime Minister's Office as their backing, they used to know how to restrain themselves, but now...
"What plans does father have?" Su Zian asked.
Imperial Tutor Su said slowly, "You know I dislike Old Man Lan. Our two houses are on the surface at peace. He doesn't dare to make any big moves because he's afraid of the army I have. But he doesn't know that I've secretly handed the token to the Emperor."
Su Zian also knew about this, but he did not interrupt his father. He just listened quietly to what was going on. He knew his father had something else to say.
"Hmph, he thinks everyone is like him, taking power so seriously. All I want is for the Su family to live a peaceful and stable life in the future. We just need to do our duties as subjects. We cannot go against the choice of our ancestors." Taifu Su said.
Su Zian said, "Dad, I know, but we should also take some precautions."
Master Su nodded, a gleam in his eyes, and said, "The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop. Sometimes, even if you don't seek trouble, trouble will find you."
After Su Taifu finished speaking, he stared straight at Su Zian and continued, "Zi'an, your sister passed away early, leaving behind only Chen'er. As his uncle, you must pave the way for him. I just hope that this child can walk a stable path in the future."
"Son knows, please rest assured, father. Chen'er is my nephew, and I know what to do."
Grand Tutor Su nodded. Old Madam Su listened to the conversation between the father and son and felt a little more worried. She was afraid that the days ahead would be very turbulent.
