Chapter 144 Homecoming
Jiang Shen finished discussing things in the government office, and it was getting very late.
He walked back slowly and reached the door of the government office. When he came back, he saw Ah Zhu walking out.
"Where is the princess?" Jiang Shen stood outside and watched Ah Zhu close the door.
"I've seen the princess." As soon as Azhu turned her head, she saw Jiang Shen standing behind her. She was frightened, and then she said after a deep breath: "The princess was a little tired today, so she went to bed early.
The princess said that if the princess comes back hungry, she will go to the kitchen to find something to eat."
Jiang Shen nodded: "You go and do your work too."
"yes."
Ah Zhu left quietly, and Jiang Shen opened the door and walked in slowly.
The candlelight inside was weak, vaguely reflecting the figure inside the bed tent.
Jiang Shen took a pair of clean pajamas and went to the clean room to wash up. When he came back, he found that the person who should have been sleeping was now awake.
"The princess is awake?"
Jiang Shen sat beside the bed.
The collar of his pajamas was slightly open, and there were some water stains on the collar that had been accidentally dripped while washing up.
Su Changle just stared at the wet spot.
"What is the princess looking at?" Jiang Shen asked in a low voice.
"I'm looking at you." Su Changle said dullly.
"Didn't you see enough in the field today?" Jiang Shen tugged on the quilt, "Still..."
Jiang Shen looked at Su Changle: "Didn't you hear enough outside the meeting hall in the evening?"
"I haven't seen enough, I just haven't seen enough." Su Changle subconsciously flirted with you. She looked at Jiang Shen seriously and blinked: "Jiang Shen, this princess noticed that you are very different today."
"Why is it different?"
Su Changle thought for a moment and said, "I, the princess, think it might be good for you to become an official in the court."
"Huh?" Jiang Shen was a little surprised, "The princess is not afraid that I will become a traitor?"
"I don't know." Su Changle shook his head, "But I just feel that this road is not your way."
Speaking of this, both Su Changle and Jiang Shen paused.
Su Changle didn't know why he said what he shouldn't have said in his heart.
However, Jiang Shen's face was raised, and he curled his lips indifferently: "Is it possible that the princess is so favored that your majesty can change the system? Can a county horse also enter the court and become an official?"
"Although I am favored by the princess, I am not that capable." Su Changle flattened her mouth. She turned over and lay down, with her back to Jiang Shen.
Su Changle stopped saying anything, and Jiang Shen stopped asking.
Early the next morning, when Su Changle woke up again, Jiang Shen was still up and no longer beside her.
When Ah Zhu came in with water, Su Changle was lying on the bed in a daze holding the quilt.
Azhu asked: "Princess Princess, do you want to see the princess's horse today?"
"I'm not going." Su Changle asked, "Is there any news about the letter written by the Japanese princess yesterday being sent out?"
"The letter has arrived, and the money and materials transferred from the properties of the princesses are almost collected. They can be sent to the farmers in the afternoon. It shouldn't be a problem to survive this year."
"Yeah." Su Changle nodded.
She finished changing her clothes, finished breakfast, and wandered around the courtyard of the government office.
It was already full of spring outside. Su Changle walked to the small lake and looked at the lotus flowers inside, which also had some greenery.
"Tell me, are the peach blossoms in Jinling about to bloom?" Su Changle murmured.
"It seems like it's about to open."
"I don't know what Jinling is like now after being out for a few days. My father and mother will definitely be angry." Su Changle sighed, "When I go back, I have to coax him well."
"The prince and princess love the princess so much, so they must not be willing to punish the princess."
Su Changle nodded: "I hope so."
Princess Jin was naturally angry with Su Changle, but now that she was not with her, even if she wanted to punish him, she couldn't catch him, so she could only beat Su Heng that day.
Hearing that Su Changle had arrived in Yu County safely, Princess Jin's anger subsided a bit.
The maid in the back helped her hold her head. The princess lay on the chaise chair with her eyes closed and asked: "How is the prince?"
"Back to the princess, the prince is being nursed in the house. The doctor has come to see him. It should be fine. He will be fine in a few days." The maid who replied said.
"Is the Crown Princess here to take care of you?"
"The Crown Princess must have known that the Crown Prince had been beaten. Before the Crown Prince returned to the house, the Crown Princess took the medicine and prepared it in the house."
Hearing this, Princess Jin smiled: "That's very good."
--
Su Changle had nothing to do in Yu County, and Prince Jin's Mansion also closed its doors because of Su Changle and Su Heng's affairs.
When everyone in Jinling was still immersed in the joy of the second prince's wedding a few days ago, before dawn, Taifu Xie submitted a letter of resignation and went to Changji Hall.
Eunuch Xu hurriedly came up to him: "Mr. Xie, what are you doing?"
"I would like to ask Eunuch-in-law to inform Your Majesty that I have something to meet with Your Majesty." Taifu Xie stood outside Changji Hall and watched Eunuch Xu go in to inform him.
Not long after, Eunuch Xu came out and ushered Taifu Xie in.
His Majesty had just gotten up and was dressing up and preparing to go to court. Taifu Xie rushed to see His Majesty at this time.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
His Majesty was a little puzzled: "The master came to Changji Hall so early. Does he have anything to do with me?"
"Wei Chen indeed has something to do." Taifu Xie said, and handed the resignation in his hand to Eunuch Xu. His Majesty's expression changed slightly after he handed it over.
"Mr. Xie, what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty is wise, I am already old, and now my daughter is married, so I want to retire and return to my hometown. Please give me your permission."
"Taifu Xie, you are only a few years older than me. Why do you call yourself old? How will I deal with this?" His Majesty paused and asked seriously: "Taifu Xie, do you really want to return home?"
"Yes." Taifu Xie saluted, "I have made my mind up."
--
Jiang Shen was very busy these days, so busy that Su Changle rarely saw him during the day.
Su Changle didn't quite understand: Jiang Shen was just sent by His Majesty to supervise the work. It hasn't started yet, so why is he so busy?
"Azhu, go and ask what Jiang Shen is busy with every day?"
Su Changle walked around the yard and finally couldn't help but ask Ah Zhu to inquire.
But when Jiang Shen's news was not heard, Ah Zhu hurriedly came back with a message. She looked solemnly and said to Su Changle: "Princess, something happened in Jinling."
"Huh?" Su Changle also frowned.
Azhu said: "Taifu Xie submitted his resignation to Your Majesty this morning, and Your Majesty agreed. Tutor Xie will leave Jinling and return to his hometown soon."
"What!" Su Changle was shocked, "How could the great master retire and return to his hometown? This..."
Su Changle suddenly asked: "There will definitely be a fuss during the wedding. If it doesn't work, I must go back as soon as possible."
"Isn't the princess waiting for the prince's horse?"
"No more waiting." Su Changle hurried into the house, "He will be here for a while. If I, the princess, are waiting for him, something might happen to Jinling. Let's pack our things now and let's go back to Jinling."
"yes."
"Wait a minute." Su Changle suddenly thought, "There will definitely be some unrest when we go back. The Jinwu Guards sent by His Majesty may be able to keep us safe, so please go back with us."
Su Changle said calmly: "Don't worry about staying here, Jiang Shen will feel uncomfortable."
After Su Changle gave instructions to Ah Zhu, he went down and gathered the people and the car together. Just after one o'clock at noon, they set off and only left a message for Jiang Shen.
So when Jiang Shen returned to the official office in the evening, he looked at the empty room and got the news.
Su Changle left in the afternoon.
Jiang Shen smelled the incense left by Su Changle in the room, closed his eyes and wondered what he was thinking.
