Sultan arranged Qu Cheng'an to live next door to his own residence.
Qu Cheng'an had originally intended to recruit the heir of the Su family army this time.
Originally he just wanted to make Sudan serve him.
But after meeting Sultan Ruo, Qu Cheng'an wanted to use a more convenient and less laborious method.
Beauty trap.
But after Sudan Ruo brought Qu Cheng'an back, he never had the chance to see Sudan Ruo again.
Having accumulated so many strategies but nowhere to use them, Qu Cheng'an felt like he was punching cotton.
Sultan Ruo was not avoiding him on purpose.
The army is about to set off to return to the capital, and Sultan is busy every day, preparing for the return journey with everyone.
It was not until the army started on the journey that Qu Cheng'an found an opportunity to talk to Sultan Ruo.
Sultan led the team in front, and Qu Cheng'an could only sit in the carriage in the middle of the team because of his frail and sickly personality.
When the army was resting, Qu Cheng'an took the opportunity to take the special products of Jingyong Kingdom in his luggage and send them to Sudan Ruo.
"General Su, you must have worked hard on the march. This is something I brought specially from Jingyong Country. Would you be so kind as to try it?"
Su Danruo didn't expect Qu Cheng'an to take the initiative to talk to him.
However, since the person came here on his own initiative and brought local specialties, she naturally couldn't keep a cold face to him anymore.
He took the oil-paper bag from Qu Cheng'an and replied, "Thank you, Your Highness."
As soon as she opened the oil paper package, she smelled a refreshing fragrance. Inside were a few milky white pastries.
It is indeed a specialty and is truly extraordinary. She pinched a piece and put it in her mouth.
The aroma of milk burst out in her mouth, mixed with a hint of jasmine.
Qu Chengan asked gently, "Is it delicious?"
Sultan nodded and said, "It is indeed good. Thanks to Your Highness, I can eat such a unique pastry. It's a pity that this is the only one. I won't be able to eat it again in the future."
She picked up another piece and put it in her mouth. Before she swallowed it, she heard Qu Chengan's magnetic voice saying:
"If the general likes to eat it, I can also make it. If you feel craving it in the future, just tell me and I will make it for you, okay?"
Sudanruo almost choked before he could swallow the pastry in his mouth.
Seeing that Sudanruo was choking, Qu Cheng'an quickly brought her a kettle of water.
Sudan Ruo took a few gulps of water before he recovered.
She was startled by Qu Cheng'an's words and looked up at him inquiringly.
But he found that Qu Cheng'an was looking at him with a worried look on his face and kept patting his back.
She quickly retreated a few meters away.
"Your Highness, I'm fine. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Please respect yourself."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Qu Cheng'an wanted to catch up, but the Sultan ordered him to continue on his journey, so he had to get back on the carriage.
Wenxiang saw all of this and sat in front of the carriage to speak up for his own prince.
"Your Highness, this General Su doesn't appreciate it at all. Why do you insist on using this method to recruit her?"
Qu Chengan sat inside and said coldly:
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Wenxiang made a sound of grievance and stopped talking.
Qu Cheng'an really has no other way to get close to Sudan Ruo now.
Using the beauty trap is the only way to save manpower and material resources.
If it works, Sultan will definitely be able to work for him wholeheartedly in the future.
If it doesn’t work…it must work!
Qu Cheng'an's mood in the carriage was gloomy and unclear. Sultanruo was riding in front of the team while thinking about the meaning of Qu Cheng'an's words.
She didn't think Qu Cheng'an would fall in love with her at first sight.
But Qu Chengan's intention just now was clearly to show goodwill to himself.
Could it be that I am too charming?
Or does Qu Chengan have some purpose and deliberately approach me?
Sultan thought for a long time and still felt that the latter was more likely.
She would rather believe that a sow could climb a tree than believe that someone like Qu Cheng'an would fall in love at first sight with a general of an enemy country.
Yes! Her current status is general. She accepted the Su family army, which commands 200,000 soldiers. Could it be that she was attracted by her general status?
Both of them have their own ulterior motives.
It was almost dark when they arrived at the border of Fengyang State, and Sultan had to find a place for the army to rest for the night.
As soon as he stopped, Qu Cheng'an came close to Sudan Ruo,
"General Su, is there anything I can help you with?"
Sultan Ruo looked at his weak appearance and chuckled.
"Your Highness, just take care of yourself. You don't understand these marching matters, so please don't cause trouble."
Qu Cheng'an did not leave, but followed Su Danruo.
If they saw a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the roadside, they would pick it to please the Sultan.
Sudan was not used to it at first, but later he figured it out. No matter what the purpose was, he had his own purpose anyway.
Since he wants to have a good relationship with her now, she will go along with him.
Maybe I can use this little friendship along the way to complete the task later.
After realizing this, Sudan Ruo's attitude towards Qu Cheng'an improved a lot.
Seeing that Sudan's attitude towards him had softened, Qu Cheng'an became more motivated.
After returning to the capital, Sultan Ruo took Qu Cheng'an directly to the palace to meet the empress.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Although the empress did not like Sultanruo in her heart, Sultanruo had returned with great merit after all, so she still had to do the face-saving work well.
Otherwise, if any rumors got out, she would probably be spitted to death by the ministers.
"My dear, please get up quickly."
As the empress spoke, she walked over to Sultan Ruo and helped her up.
Qu Cheng'an was still kneeling, but was left aside by the empress.
The Sultan signaled to the Empress, "Your Majesty, this is the Second Prince of Jingyong."
The empress glanced at Qu Cheng'an and found that the second prince was handsome, but did not look like the emperor of Jingyong Kingdom.
She said calmly, "You should get up too. Since you are a proton, you will be temporarily imprisoned!"
Qu Cheng'an lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, and clenched his hands tightly at his sides.
Sultan Ruo quickly admonished:
"Your Majesty, he is, after all, the Second Prince of Jingyong State. Although he is a hostage, he is not a prisoner. It would be inappropriate to lock him up in prison."
The empress looked at Sultan Ruo and then at Qu Cheng'an, her eyes shifting back and forth between the two of them.
"My dear minister, your words make sense, but if I place him in the palace, those troublesome women in my harem will rebel.
How about... arranging him in your residence?"
If the Sultan didn't know what the Empress was thinking, even though she really wanted Qu Cheng'an to live with her, if she agreed without hesitation, the Empress would definitely find fault with her.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! How can a prince from a neighboring country live in the general's mansion? This is illogical!"
The empress took Sudan Ruo's hand and said:
"Who said he would live in the general's mansion?"
