Vol 3 Chapter 32: Not to be underestimated (two more)

A letter was placed on the desk of King Yanbei, sealed with wax, heavy and unsigned.
Su Fengnuan picked up the letter in doubt and opened it. When he looked at the handwriting of the letter, he suddenly rolled his eyes.
Ye Chang stepped forward and took a look, suddenly laughed, looking at the pages of rice paper in Su Feng Nuan's hand, full of handwriting, and said, "This is full of complaints, I don't know what's going on? It's probably something serious. Otherwise, he won't be afraid of being laughed at by you, nagging you so much in the letter like this."
Su Fengnuan nodded honestly and looked down at what Su Qing's letter was written.
Ye Chang watched with him.
Wang Yanbei looked at the two of them, they were very close, and their posture was natural. He thought to himself that it is good to be young. Anyone who meets them will feel that they are a good match.
After two cups of tea, Su Feng Nuan and Ye Chang read Su Qing's letter, and they were quite speechless for a while.
Su Qing's letter didn't write anything else. He used countless pens and inks, but only said one thing, that is, the queen dowager and the queen fell in love with him, and they want to choose him as a consort. He and Mrs. Su are now out of Beijing to take refuge in Lingyun Temple. He also did not participate in the birthday of the queen dowager on the grounds of recuperating, so Su Fengnuan helped him to find a way to get the queen dowager and the queen to dispel the idea of ​​choosing him as a monk, otherwise he would simply become a monk in Lingyun Temple. All right.
Su Fengnuan didn't expect that the Queen Mother and the Queen would have taken a fancy to Su Qing, and they even wanted Princess Shuya to be her husband. It’s fine if Princess Shuya is a pleasing princess, but she is a foolish princess who is obsessed with Xu Yunchu and makes trouble for her because she has some involvement with Xu Yunchu. To be honest, she doesn’t want Shuya either. The princess is her third sister-in-law.
But now the Northern Zhou has just retired in Yanbei, and the Western Realm is now Zhengxingbing has taken the North Wednesday city, and Sun Zeyu's handling of the two old cases has not yet been completed, and the Qiufeng Mountain was bloodbathed, and the king of Xiangjun was involved. For the big case, the internal worries of the King of Xiangjun have not yet been resolved. Even if the Queen Mother and the Queen are interested, is it appropriate to give Shuya a marriage at this time?
What's more, does the emperor care about his daughter's marriage?
She felt that Su Qing was probably frightened by the kindness of the Queen Mother and the Queen. For a while, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and she was not afraid that she would laugh at her. She actually stuffed the letter into the official document to and from Yanbei and sent Yanbei to her. She must be disgusted. It's princess Shuya.
She put down the letter, turned her head and asked Ye Shang, "What do you think?"
Ye Chang curled up his mouth and said, "You saved Yanbei, and General Su won the city of North Wednesday. For the Southern Qi court, they all made great contributions. Earlier, General Su defeated the Northern Zhou army. I have to say that when General Su dealt with the follow-up matters of the western border, after returning to Beijing, he was granted the title of Wuhou, and Su Mansion was renamed Wuhou Mansion. Because General Su has not returned to Beijing, this matter has been delayed, but The Ministry of Rites is already working on Wuhou's official uniform."
Su Fengnuan looked at him, waiting for him to continue talking.
Ye Chang said, "Wu Hou’s award is a feat in the past, and now such a great feat will definitely be rewarded in the future. For General Su, if he goes up, he will be the king. Yan Beisu The family is already a king with a different surname. If there is another king with a different surname from the Su family in the capital city, the surname Su will overtake the surname Liu in this world. The authority is too great, even if the emperor trusts General Su to be loyal, but you think you can give him Is it a king?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "My father can no longer be the king."
Ye Chang said, "Exactly, but you can't grant a king, how can you reward the merits? General Su's merits are laid there. So, if the emperor marries a daughter? Give the princess a marriage, and the princess marries a family of courtiers. It is also the honor of the courtiers, and it can be regarded as a reward? Can General Su refuse? How will the emperor think that the princess refuses?"
Su Feng Nuan Lingtai suddenly became clear. When she first saw Su Qing's letter, she didn't take it seriously, but now through Ye Chang's analysis, she suddenly felt that the matter was indeed serious and should not be underestimated. .
Ye Chang said, "The king’s bachelor dared to reject the emperor back then because the king’s mansion did not hold the military power. The king’s bachelor once served as the crown prince and Tai Fu, and had a relationship with the emperor as a teacher and student. Only this beloved daughter was naturally guarded in every possible way, and the emperor was not easy to persecute, so he gave up. But today's Su Mansion is different from the former royal mansion, and the national power of Nanqi is also different from the past. Back then, after the new emperor was elected, now The emperor is already exhausted, and the prince cannot use it. He has to consider the future of Nan Qi."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "You are right."
Ye Chang said again, "The king's scholar has been trusted by the emperor for a long time, thinking that the emperor never persecuted auntie, if Su Mansion is unwilling today, the emperor may not be forced to persecute, I am afraid that it will inevitably not think of anything else."
Su Feng Nuan nodded, "You are reasonable, this matter really can't be ignored." After the words came, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "You must think of a perfect solution."
Ye Chang smiled and said, "You and I are already married, and there are three older brothers on top of you. Should we also discuss marriage?"
Su Fengnuan raised her eyebrows, "You mean you want my mother to give my third brother's marriage before the queen mother and the queen say anything? The eldest brother and the second brother have not yet married, so I am a younger sister. There is no elder sister above, so naturally you can negotiate first, but there are two older brothers on the top of the third brother. They have not yet decided to make a decision. How can he decide first? If you want to decide, you can only decide together. Within time, where can I find three suitable women to marry my three elder brothers? Besides, life-long matters are a big deal. You can’t just make up for it just because you want them to like it. That’s difficult.

Ye Chang smiled and said, "The three of them didn't have a favorite girl since they were young?"
Su Fengnuan thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is not. The Su family used to be in the countryside. My father didn't like to make friends with the rich family of squires. The poor women of the people’s family had few literate people, let alone knowledge? Go to one place. The eldest and second elder brothers rushed to Yanbei without stopping, and now they are back to the west. The third elder brother often travels to the prime minister’s mansion because of the guidance of the prime minister in Beijing, and has met Sun Qingxue several times, some words, My mother and I even made a joke about Miss Sun's Mansion at the beginning, but he didn't seem to care about it. At the time, he said that there were two older brothers on it. He was not in a hurry. He started his career first and then got married."
Ye Chang pondered, "Miss Sun's Mansion is pretty good. Whether she is from her family or her character or style, she can be regarded as a real lady. The three brothers of Su are both civil and military, and the prime minister likes to value him very much. There are very few people who have met him in Beijing. If he is interested in Miss Sun, it is not impossible to find someone to talk about the marriage." After the words fell, he said, "If the situation is compelling, you don't have to follow the long Brother is a big rule, let him make a marriage plan first, after all, he is the one the empress dowager and empress fancy."
Su Fengnuan nodded and said, "I like Sun Qingxue too, but it depends on the meaning of my third brother and Miss Sun."
Ye Chang said, "You might as well write back and ask him what he means. If he is interested, we will proceed as soon as possible to facilitate this matter before the queen mother and the queen propose to the emperor."
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Alright."
King Yanbei sat aside, listening to the two of them discussing themselves for a long while, and also heard some eyebrows, and asked Su Fengnuan, "A letter from your third brother Su Qing?"
Su Fengnuan nodded and handed the letter to King Yan Bei.
King Yanbei took the letter, and after reading it, he smiled and said, "This kid is interesting. I used to hear you mention him. Among your three brothers, it is said that he is talented, civil and military?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "My third brother is about the same age as me, and he has always been close. When I was at home, I would often fight with him. A large part of his martial arts was practiced by me. Literary talent followed my grandfather and returned to Beijing. , Grandpa brought him by his side to teach, and later he was given a mention by the prime minister. Now he is indeed a good master."
King Yanbei nodded, "No wonder he was taken by the Queen Mother and the Queen." After the words fell, he said again, "When he comes to Yanbei, I will look at him too."
Su Fengnuan looked at King Yanbei and saw his eyebrows trembling, as if she had some calculations, she rolled her eyes secretly, turned around and picked up a pen to write a reply to Su Qing.
The letter first teased him unceremoniously, and then solemnly told him about the stakes mentioned by Ye Chang, and stated that this matter should not be underestimated, and it is indeed appropriate to proceed in advance. She proposed to let him negotiate marriage first, and make a decision before the queen mother and queen make a proposal to the emperor. She specifically mentioned Sun Qingxue and asked him if he was interested. If he did, she and Ye Chang would secretly arrange the matter.
After the letter was written, she called a house guard and told Kuima to expedite and send it to Lingyun Temple in the capital.
On that day, Su Zhen listened to King Yanbei's words and sent two guards out of Yanbei to Lushan Academy to pick up Su Nianlin and Su Nianzhi.
The next day, Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan dealt with Yanbei affairs together, and they got two presentations. They were overjoyed. After leaving everything behind, they closed the door and polished them.
After a snowfall, Yanbei really entered the cold winter. Although Ye Chang had heat toxins in his body, he was afraid of the cold when the heat toxins did not occur. He used to sleep with big white cats and use them to keep warm. Su Fengnuan stayed together day and night, warming each other, and in a very good mood. After finding the doorway to get along, his feelings were getting better and better, and his injuries recovered quickly.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and this day came to Ye Chang's birthday.
