After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women
Chapter 36 Consort?
The next day, Princess Yucheng summoned Su Qinchao, who was still finishing up work at the farm.
Looking at the tall, wheat-skinned man standing at the jade steps, Princess Yucheng fell into deep thought, wondering how to deal with the rumors between them.
To be honest, the potato matter cannot be made public for at least the next two years. Rumors are always a problem. Why not ask him? Maybe this kid has a solution?
"I want to recruit you as my consort, are you willing?" Princess Yucheng said lightly, as if what she said was unimportant.
"But I'm already married!" Su Qinchao looked at Princess Yucheng on the jade steps. Seeing a smile on her face, he knew that she was just asking him for advice.
Over these days, he also got to know the Lord's temper.
"So what can you do to stop the rumors?"
"In fact, it's not a bad idea to be a royal consort!" Before Su Qinchao could reply, Lan Yi walked in. She became bolder and bolder.
"What do you mean?" Princess Yucheng turned her gaze to Lan Yi. This little girl had let herself go once she got familiar with him. Fortunately, what she did was harmless, so she just let her do what she wanted.
"I heard that Uncle Su once had a younger brother, who died young, so he adopted Su Qinchao as his successor to both branches." This way it doesn't count as divorcing his wife and marrying another, and both branches are respected.
"How can that be possible?" Su Qinchao didn't understand.
He just helped plant potatoes and help people solve their food and clothing problems. It was obviously a meritorious deed, so how did he suddenly become a prince consort? Besides, the princess was almost a generation older than him...
"I think it's OK." Princess Yucheng picked up the teacup, blew gently on the foam in the cup, and chuckled:
"You know that I don't want to recruit a consort to cause trouble for myself. I originally wanted to take you as my lover to silence the gossips, but the emperor values talents and doesn't want you to be infamous, so you can consider it."
"Your humble servant..." Before Su Qinchao could say anything, Princess Yucheng stopped him with her hand.
"Go back and discuss this with your family today. I'm in need of a consort, and you're in need of freedom. Why not?"
She knew that people like Su Qinchao and Lan Yi did not like to be inferior to others and were submissive, but they were not keen on power. This might be an opportunity for a compromise.
"Yes!" Looking at Princess Yucheng's slightly smiling eyes, Su Qinchao felt as if he was seen through. He really wanted special freedom.
When he returned to the Su residence at night, he gathered his family in the west room, and asked Guanqi to guard outside the door and not let the servants approach, then he implicitly expressed the princess's intention.
"How can this be possible?" He simply couldn't face his daughter-in-law, and Father Su covered his face with his sleeves in shame.
"Yeah, what should we do?" Su's mother had lived in the small place of Yueyang all her life. She never expected that she would encounter such a thing as the royal family when she came to Chang'an. She was immediately panicked.
Su Qinchao gently held Su's mother's hand and comforted her in a low voice, "The princess only asked us to consider it. She won't be angry if she refuses, so don't worry!"
He looked at Yunniang who was silently crying while holding little Tangyuan, and suddenly felt very distressed. He quickly put his other arm around her:
"Don't worry, I said I would only marry one wife in this life, and I will never break my promise. I will find a way to get the princess back."
It would be a lie to say that he had never wavered before Su Qinchao. Anyone would have thoughts when faced with enormous wealth.
But looking at the person in front of him, he remembered the past experiences they had in his dreams in his previous life. He could not hurt Yunniang for his own desires.
"Can I really go against the princess's precious words?" Yunniang leaned on Su Qinchao's chest, her tears falling continuously, through her thin gown and onto his body.
She didn't understand what important thing her husband had done during this period of time, and the princess actually offered such a price to cover it up.
"Since the princess asked me to ask, there is room for maneuver. It's just that I'm wronging you and you have to endure other people's gossip."
He knew very well that it was not easy to enter the royal family, and he did not have so many complicated thoughts. As long as Yunniang believed in him, he did not care what others said.
"I'm fine!" If her husband could bear it, she could bear it too.
Later, Su Qinchao still asked to see Princess Yucheng and rejected her intention in a roundabout way.
However, Princess Yucheng must have regretted it as she agreed so easily and made a promise that once this matter was accomplished, she would take credit for him and Lan Yi.
Although the rumor was widely circulated and remained at a high level, the two parties involved never said anything to clarify it, and the heat gradually subsided.
Moreover, there were so many new and interesting things in Chang'an, and the topics were changing with each passing day. However, after a few months, few people mentioned it, and the Su family was able to live a peaceful life.
However, because of this rumor, Su Qinchao was considered to have turned a disaster into a blessing. Everyone in the Beijing Guards camp treated him very politely and would not easily argue with him.
In this way, the military affairs he applied for and the new orders he issued went smoothly.
