Ye Chutang bent down and picked her up.
Xiaowu nuzzled the crook of her neck and hugged her securely.
Princess Qinyang sighed: "You only have eyes for your sister. When she comes, you forget about me."
Xiaowu blushed in embarrassment, but he had no intention of letting go of Ye Chutang's hand.
However, Princess Qinyang didn't really care about this matter. She picked up the slingshot and put it back into Xiaowu's arms.
"I'm giving it to you!"
Ye Chutang lowered his eyes to take a look. The slingshot was carved from the finest pear wood, and the wooden handle was inlaid with a circle of red and blue sapphires, which was dazzling.
This is indeed not a proper slingshot, but rather a work of art, or a luxury item.
Ye Chutang originally wanted to decline politely, but when he thought of the man in front of him who was generous and spent money lavishly, he accepted it without any psychological burden.
——It’s tiring for rich people to spend money, and we are all friends, so she is willing to help.
"Xiao Wu, thank the princess quickly."
Xiaowu then took the slingshot in his hand, and a brilliant smile appeared on his cute little face.
Princess Qinyang looked at her with a smile, but also felt a little regretful.
What a pity, this little girl can't speak...
She shook her head, put the thought aside, and changed the subject: "Hey, Chutang, what did His Majesty want to see you about? Why did you take so long?"
Ye Chutang said truthfully: "Nothing, just asked me to check the pulse of the Third Princess."
Princess Qinyang suddenly realized and looked behind her in surprise, muttering, "Okay, I've only been back for a few days, and I'm already treated like this?"
In his memory, Emperor Mu Wu disliked this daughter very much and didn't even want to see her often, but this time -
"Noble Concubine Ru is here too." Ye Chutang said.
With her mediation, it is normal for His Majesty to be willing to give the Third Princess some face.
Princess Qinyang frowned: "Nothing else?"
Ye Chutang curled her lips and said, "The Third Princess will live in the palace forever. As the Imperial Concubine said, we will find a good marriage for her."
"I knew it!"
Princess Qinyang didn't seem surprised at all. She curled her lips.
"Since you asked her to come back from a long distance, you must have planned it."
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Third Princess has been raised in Concubine Ru's palace since she was a child. With so many years of mother-daughter affection, it is normal for her to want to arrange a good marriage for the Third Princess."
Princess Qinyang sneered: "She has no shortage of children, she already has both sons and daughters, why should she care so much about someone else's daughter?"
As the imperial concubine entered the palace at the age of fourteen, she has been favored by the emperor for many years. The second prince is both talented in civil and military affairs and is highly valued by the emperor. The eldest princess married Xie Pei's eldest son and her position is stable.
It seems that there is really no need for her to care so much about Xiao Lanxi.
Ye Chutang seemed to say unintentionally: "But after all, I have raised him for many years. Besides, didn't you say before that the Third Princess came back this time to help the Second Prince out of trouble?"
For this reason alone, it seems right for Concubine Ru to pay more attention to her.
Princess Qinyang looked around, then moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Which young master does she like?"
But please don’t let it be her brother——
"The second son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was mentioned."
Princess Qinyang finally let go of her worries: "That's good, that's good, hahahaha——"
No one can snatch her brother from her sister-in-law!
As for the rest, love whoever you want.
Suddenly, Princess Qinyang's laughter stopped abruptly: "Wait a minute, are you talking about - Xie Anbai?"
Ye Chutang nodded and said, "But the princess doesn't agree, and His Majesty doesn't agree either."
Princess Qinyang was silent for a long time, then suddenly sneered.
"She's wishful thinking!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
Although the third princess is not favored, she is of royal blood after all, with outstanding looks and a shy personality. Although Xie Anbai comes from a noble family, he did not inherit the title. In addition, with the reputation of being a devil, it is hard to say who will suffer between the two.
Princess Qinyang pulled the tent curtain tight and said, "You know that the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery cannot practice martial arts, right?"
Ye Chutang nodded: "It seems that he was sick when he was a child? But I heard that he is quite talented and can write good articles."
"Yes, this is the key! He can't practice martial arts, so he can only take this path. But Xie Anbai is different - he is very durable."
Ye Chutang: “…”
Princess Qinyang said seriously: "Think about it, what does being able to withstand a beating mean? He can go to the battlefield!"
Ye Chutang's smile faded slightly, and he looked at her meaningfully.
As expected, she was the only daughter who once accompanied King Yannan to guard the border, and she immediately grasped the key point.
Many of Concubine Ru’s actions today were actually tests!
Marquis Zhongyong followed Emperor Taizong in conquering the world, and was also a brave general who intimidated others.
After pacifying the four directions, he retired at the right time and was the first to hand over his military power. Later, he urged his son to study hard, as if he was going to follow the path of a civil servant.
But even so, his prestige in the army cannot be underestimated.
If Xie Anbai joins the army, he will surely receive a lot of support.
This is a military force that cannot be ignored!
And for the Imperial Concubine, or the Second Prince Xiao Chengxuan, this is what they lack the most!
For example, the imperial concubine's father, Jiang Zhaoyuan, was the chief minister of the cabinet and had great power, but he had no military power.
But the Third Prince took the initiative to volunteer, made great military achievements, and has gradually established his own power.
How could Xiao Chengxuan not be anxious?
If Xiao Lanxi and Xie Anbai get married, it will undoubtedly be a great help!
Unfortunately, the good plan of Concubine Ru did not come true.
Ye Chutang paused for a moment and said in a gentle voice: "This matter has not been decided yet, and nothing can be known."
Princess Qinyang shrugged: "Do they really think everyone else is a fool?"
Ye Chutang looked at her: "Come to think of it, why didn't you go hunting?"
She thought Princess Qinyang would be very interested in this.
Princess Qinyang waved her hand and said, "They are all captive birds and beasts. They lack some wildness and are boring."
It would be better for her to just sit here and wait for the meat.
Of course, it was also because she had promised her brother that she would stay by Ye Chutang's side no matter what.
There weren't many female relatives here today, and even fewer who were familiar with Ye Chutang. She also brought Xiaowu with her, so how could she survive without someone by her side?
Princess Qinyang thought of food, her eyes sparkled: "Try it later, it tastes delicious!"
As he was speaking, there was suddenly a sound of hurried and disorderly footsteps outside.
Ye Chutang's expression changed slightly.
Princess Qinyang was also very confused: "This is a camp, who is so flustered?"
As she spoke, she drew aside the curtain.
Ye Chutang saw a guard in armor walking towards the emperor's tent in a panic.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
Ye Chutang frowned, stood up and walked out.
Only then did she see that the guard's body was covered in blood, which was shocking to see.
Soon, she found out the reason.
"Your Majesty! The Third Prince was attacked in the forest! The Crown Prince has led his men to chase him!" (End of this chapter)
