Even though they are biological father and daughter, Su Zhenting still has to bow first because of their differences in status.
Su Jinpa stood up and said, "Father, there is no need to be polite."
Li Chen yawned, got up from his bed, walked to the dining table, and said, "This is the harem, not the former dynasty. We are just a family. There is no king or minister. The general is the father-in-law, so there is no need to be polite."
After the three of them sat down, they began to eat.
Su Jinpa personally served a bowl of porridge to Su Zhenting and said warmly: "Dad, you have old wounds on your body, but you like to drink alcohol and eat meat. This millet and sweet potato porridge is the best for clearing away heat and removing blood stasis. You should eat more."
Su Zhenting took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Su Jinpa sighed slightly when she heard this title. She knew that since some things had changed, they were different and would never be the same again.
So she stopped forcing it.
"Dad, my brother and I are not around, so you have to take more care of yourself. No matter how busy you are with official duties, your health is always the most important thing."
Li Chen also said: "That's right... The general has a hidden injury? Does it matter? Can the imperial doctor take a look at it?"
Su Zhenting replied: "The injuries I suffered in my early years have already healed, but there are still some sequelae. It's not a big problem."
Li Chen said: "I will ask Zhang Hezhi to visit your house later, and then write some prescriptions. In addition, I will bring back some millet and sweet potatoes from the East Palace. Millet is easy to buy, but there are not many sweet potatoes at the moment. Let the kitchen in the house
I cook porridge for you every morning. Jinpa is right, no matter what, your body is always the most important."
Su Zhenting hurriedly said: "No need to bother..."
"alright."
Li Chen said: "We have already said that we are a family, so why should we shirk it?"
Su Zhenting smiled bitterly and said, "Then I have no choice but to thank Your Highness and Your Majesty."
Li Chen nodded, took a sip of porridge and said, "On Zhang Biwu's matter, the general and I have a tacit understanding of cooperation."
Su Zhenting smiled and said: "Zhang Biwu is the nail that His Highness wants to bury next to Zhao Xuanji. Naturally, I will not object. The main reason is that Your Highness is leaving Beijing soon, so I have to find a way to draw Zhao Xuanji's attention."
Li Chen said happily: "Now our provincial magistrate is probably racking his brains to think about whether I really had a rift with the general in the Xi Zheng Palace just now, or whether he was just putting on a show for him."
Su Zhenting said: "No matter what he thinks, as long as he buries a seed, it will naturally take root and sprout."
"For someone like Zhao Xuanji, if the play is too realistic, it will not be beautiful. On the contrary, if it is so true and false, specious, it is the most heart-wrenching thing for him."
Li Chen said with a bad smile: "The general is right, but there is no need to pay too much attention to him. The most urgent thing he needs to do now is to gather power, and the main premise for this is that the government must be stable and the country and the country must be stable.
There can be no turmoil, so it won’t cause us any trouble for the time being.”
"The real problem right now is in the northwest."
To the northwest is where Crescent Pass and Prince Ning are.
Of course, Su Zhenting understood what Li Chen meant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness really wants to conquer it himself?"
Personal expedition.
These two words made Su Jinpa look over immediately.
Until now, she still doesn't know Li Chen's plan.
Li Chen nodded and said: "What I said in Xi Zhengdian was not my impulsiveness. This time, I must go, and I can only go."
