Chapter 788 How long will it take to get to Chang'an?
Chapter 788 How long does it take to get to Chang'an?
Changle shook his head indifferently: "She wouldn't dare to show off!"
"And if she has ulterior motives, Brother Su Chen will not bring her back."
"Besides, Brother Su Chen has so many properties, and it is estimated that there will be more in the future. I know very little about sea trade. I have to find a few reliable people to look after it. A concubine is just right!"
Li Er and Empress Changsun looked strange: they were worried that their daughter would be angry because Su Chen suddenly brought back a concubine.
That's good, as soon as my daughter heard about this, she already started to arrange her status and functions in the family!
Empress Changsun said helplessly: "Let's not talk about these things for now!"
"Li Zhi, you go to the palace today, don't be in a hurry to go back, spend more time with grandma in the palace,"
"I've called Xiu Xiu here too. Let's have some fun together today. It's quite deserted for Xiu Xiu to be alone in the East Palace all day."
When Li Er heard that Queen Changsun was going to call Niu Xiuxiu over, he was about to get up and leave.
Several women were talking, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
But before he could get up, Niu Xiuxiu had already come to see Queen Changsun.
After Niu Xiuxiu greeted Li Er and Empress Changsun, she saw Changle was there and said happily:
"The beauty is here too!"
"Just in time, I plan to go find you outside the city!"
"The prince mentioned in the letter about spices and asked for your help, Lizhi..."
Changle was confused when he heard this: "What spice?"
Empress Changsun covered her forehead and forgot about it!
"Li Zhi, I just talked about Elsa, and I forgot to tell you about the spices."
Now Niu Xiuxiu was a little confused: Spice is such a great thing, but beauty still doesn’t know about it!
And what is Elsa?
Niu Xiuxiu came to Queen Changsun yesterday to inquire about some other information about Li Chengqian.
Elsa's matter had nothing to do with Li Chengqian, so Empress Changsun didn't talk to Niu Xiuxiu.
Seeing Niu Xiuxiu's curious face, Queen Changsun realized that she had let slip again.
Empress Changsun simply asked people to take out all Li Chengqian's letters and give them to Niu Xiuxiu and Changle.
"It's all here. Read it for yourselves. The contents of the letter haven't been made public yet. Don't talk nonsense when you get back!"
Chang Le and Niu Xiuxiu hurriedly picked up a few pages of letter paper and exchanged them.
"Ah! An island full of all kinds of spices!"
Changle was beyond surprised,
"Um?
Princess Elsa of Cannae?
Su Chen and her..." Niu Xiuxiu raised her head and gave Changle a strange look.
"There are remnants of the powerful fleet in Malacca trying to ambush the returning naval fleet?"
Changle suddenly saw terrible news.
"Dad, how could such a thing happen?"
"Well, where's Dad?"
Changle raised his head and noticed that Li Er had already left.
"What?
Show me," Niu Xiuxiu said hurriedly.
Queen Changsun: "Don't be surprised! It's just a group of pirates!"
"When the Royal Navy comes back and completes its repairs, and the Tengzhou Navy is trained into an army, His Majesty will send them to clean up those pirates."
Changle Xiumei frowned and didn't say anything. She knew a little about the situation overseas, but she thought it might not be that easy.
Niu Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter: "Fortunately, the fleet is fine!"
Empress Changsun: "Don't reveal anything in the letter to anyone else!"
"As for the spices, Changle, just buy some shops secretly first, and then make detailed arrangements when Cheng Qian and Su Chen come back."
"Xiuxiu, the people in the East Palace are very arrogant, please don't worry about this matter for now."
The two nodded and followed Queen Changsun's arrangements.
Both of them were smart people and could guess that Li Er wanted to use this large amount of spices to deceive a group of people.
The prices of edible spices in Chang'an market are so ridiculously expensive, and they all know who is behind the scenes to hoard them and raise the prices.
Changle stayed at the palace until evening before returning to Sujiazhuang outside the city. Sun Rong was running around anxiously at home.
He told Lotus Sun about the news he had learned from the palace and related to Su Chen.
Sun Rong felt relieved once she heard that Su Chen had returned to Datang safely. She was too lazy to care about anything else.
"Hey! My husband really doesn't take his status as a consort seriously!"
"Sister Princess, what are you going to do with that Elsa?"
Changle glared at Sun Rong: "What should I do?"
"If you are not Brother Su Chen's concubine, the children will be gone!"
Sun Rong laughed and said: "Isn't this my blessing to the princess sister? The princess sister is virtuous..."
Chang Le was too lazy to talk to Lotus Sun and looked around: "Hey, where did the little girl go?"
Lotus Sun: "The little girl has been honest today. She fell asleep in the afternoon and hasn't woken up yet!"
Changle: "You haven't woken up yet?
Forget it, I still want to come back and tease her!"
"This little girl will finally be able to see her father!"
"Yes, my husband has been going to Dashi for more than a year, and the little girl will say that she will leave."
Sun Rong was a little emotional.
Rong Sun gave birth to a daughter to Su Chen in August last year, and she is now over one year old!
Changle: "Fortunately, brother Su Chen has returned triumphantly. It is estimated that in more than a month, our family will be reunited!"
"More than a month?
Will it take so long?”
Sun Rong's eyes widened.
"The army has just arrived in Guangzhou, which is far away from Chang'an."
"Besides, the soldiers have been away for more than a year. If we don't settle down the army, how can Brother Su Chen get home?"
"However, Brother Su Chen should come back first if he has a letter."
Changle said and explained to Sun Rong:
"I will be busy for a while and have to go to Guanzhou. Please take good care of your home and take good care of the little girl."
Sun Rong agreed without asking what Chang Le was busy with.
Buy some shops secretly to make it easier to sell spices in the future.
But things in Guanzhou are a bit troublesome.
Although Changle has sold out all its properties in the Guanzhou Steel Plant and various mines, there are still many commercial shops and pig farms.
The important thing is that Changle also knows how much effort Su Chen has put into Guanzhou and how much hope he has for Guanzhou. He definitely doesn't want Guanzhou to decline.
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, Changle herself did not want Guanzhou to be ruined.
The managers and senior craftsmen of the Su family's factories and mines in Guanzhou were driven back by Li Daoyan and others before Changle sold their shares. Everyone was deeply resentful of this!
After all, these factories and mines in Guanzhou were built with their own help. Not long after they were built, they were expelled from the factories and mines. Everyone was very angry.
Now that the factories and mines in Guanzhou have been harmed to this extent, it would be too entertaining to let them go back and take over the mess.
Moreover, the factories and mines in Guanzhou have nothing to do with the Su family. Changle asked these managers and master craftsmen to go back to the factories and mines to help.
Everyone dare not disobey Princess Changle's order, but Changle understands their mentality behind the scenes without even thinking about it.
However, Guanzhou really needs to recover as soon as possible, and Changle feels that it is better to go to Guanzhou in person to see the specific situation.
Just when Changle arrived at Guanzhou by train,
On the official road of Henan Road, Elsa got off the horse:
