Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Ji Qichen repeated slowly: "Responsibility?"

Mu Tangxi's amber eyes flickered. What did the emperor want Ji Qichen to do?

The emperor thought that the third prince would be very happy. After all, he had given him the status of a prince, and as long as he had ambition, he would know what he meant.

The result is still this silly look.

In fact, Mu Tangxi thought that the responsibility mentioned by the emperor was to let Ji Qichen do some things in the court.

But when she compared the emperor's attitude towards Ji Qichen, she always felt that the emperor would not be so good to Ji Qichen, there must be something fishy!

The emperor looked unfathomable, his eyes fixed on the third prince, "Qi Chen, now that you have a family, you have to do your part for the court."

"Look at your eldest brother and your second brother, they are busy all day long, and then look at you."

The emperor opened his mouth and almost pointed at the third prince's nose and scolded him.

He had never seen such an unmotivated prince!

It really opened his eyes!

"But it's OK to leave it alone when you were young, but now you need to work harder."

Ji Qichen:……?

Is the emperor crazy?

This isn't the first day he's been like this. Why is your father bringing it up now?

Mu Tangxi: ...

She seemed to understand what the emperor meant. The third prince was useless before, but now for some reason he suddenly became useful in the eyes of the emperor.

So the emperor belittled the third prince so that he could achieve the effect of going all out.

Ji Qichen asked tentatively: "Father, what does your Majesty need me to do?"

The emperor's gaze stayed on Mu Tangxi for a moment, and then returned to Ji Qichen.

"Qi Chen, I have decided to give you half of the tiger talisman and order you to inspect the border and escort a convoy of food and fodder."

Ji Qichen:?

Mu Tangxi:?

When did the emperor become so generous?

Also, the emperor had given that half tiger talisman to the previous Marquis Jingyang, and then the previous Marquis Jingyang died.

Now giving it to Ji Qichen, do you want him to die too?

She just didn't believe that the emperor really hoped for the best for Ji Qichen!

Ji Qichen was a little slow to react and even a little at a loss. He really wanted to fight for it to keep Tangxi alive.

But when did my father become so kind?

Just giving him half a tiger talisman and sending him to the army, isn't this pushing him and making him contact people in the army?

Besides, his study partner, now General Xu Guangzhu, is also at the frontier!

This is a good opportunity to get in touch with the soldiers who were introduced to me by my reading companions!

But there is only one serious drawback!

Should he take Tangxi with him to the frontier?

If he brought it with him, he was afraid of encountering bandits on the road who robbed his food supplies. What if Tangxi got injured?

Moreover, the frontier is full of wind and sand, and the environment is even more difficult and harsh. Tangxi has always been in the Prime Minister's Mansion and has never been far away. She may not be able to adapt.

But he couldn't bear to leave Tangxi, they had just gotten married!

The emperor originally thought that the third prince would be ecstatic to take the imperial edict from his hand, but the reality was that the third prince had a hesitant and slightly repulsive expression on his face.

emperor:……

Is there anyone in this world who can resist the power brought by the tiger talisman?

The contrast between the third prince and the previous Marquis of Jingyang was so obvious that even the emperor was silent.

The emperor still remembers that he used the tiger talisman as bait to guide the former Marquis of Jingyang to indirectly kill the stubborn general, who was the former Marquis of Jingyang's mentor.

The former Marquis of Jingyang couldn't wait to do it without any hesitation.

But now...

Otherwise, let's change someone.

The emperor thought expressionlessly that if the fourth prince was nurtured a little longer, he could still be a stepping stone.

Just when the emperor wanted to withdraw his hand, Ji Qichen took the imperial edict from his father's hand and expressed his gratitude.

Emperor:? Why do you want to do it again?

Ji Qichen compared them and found that with half a tiger talisman, at least he would have the confidence and power to compete with his elder and second brothers in the future.

It’s just a matter of being separated from Tangxi for a while, he can handle it.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. If he had known this would happen, he should have fostered the third prince's ambition.

It's really infuriating that people now act like they can fight if they can, and won't fight if they can't!

He gave half of the tiger talisman to the third prince and asked him to go to the border. Naturally, he knew that General Xu was the third prince's childhood companion.

This was because the emperor was afraid that if he gave the third prince more power and influence, it would be taken away by the crown prince or the second prince in a few days. This would be too easy.

As the third prince's companion, General Xu will protect him for at least a period of time.

Just hold on as long as you can.

Let him see how much progress the prince has made recently.

Of course, the emperor was not the kind of person who would send the third prince to the frontier without giving him any time to breathe.

"Qi Chen, we will set off in three months, remember to be prepared."

After hearing the time, Ji Qichen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the time was not particularly tight.

The longer I can stay with Tangxi, the better!

Mu Tangxi silently pondered the emperor's purpose in his heart. What benefits could he get from it?

Or is it that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have been too powerful recently, and the Emperor needs to balance the situation in the court?

Or has the crown prince recently threatened the emperor's position, so the emperor wants to promote the third prince to suppress the crown prince?

After all, the Minister of War has sided with the prince's party.

It just happens to be related to Ji Qichen’s tiger talisman.

Just as the emperor was about to ask the third prince and his wife to leave, the door was pushed open.

Concubine Li pushed open the door, followed closely by the anxious little eunuch guarding the door. It seemed as if he had already imagined himself being dragged out and beaten with a stick!

The emperor frowned slightly and asked in a somewhat cold tone: "Concubine Li, why are you here?"

Concubine Li did not notice anything unusual and continued to smile at the emperor, "Your Majesty, I just met the Third Prince and his wife on the road, so I wanted to come and say hello."

"After all, the Third Prince and his wife ignored me just now."

Concubine Li said this in a sarcastic tone and then looked at the emperor.

The emperor turned his gaze to the third prince, "Is that so?"

The Third Prince and his wife shook their heads together and said innocently, "We didn't see Concubine Li?"

Concubine Li: “You guys!”

What to pretend!

The emperor glanced around and felt that the third prince was a simple-minded person and would not pretend not to see Concubine Li.

What benefit would it bring to them to offend Concubine Li?

"Okay, Qi Chen, take your wife to see your mother."

The expression on Ji Qichen's face faded instantly, and he responded, "Yes, father."

The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, so Ji Qichen can only take Tangxi to his mother.

Concubine Li withdrew her glare at the Third Prince and acted coquettishly towards the Emperor: "Your Majesty, they are just bullying me. Please teach them a lesson."

The emperor looked at his former favorite Concubine Li, and now there was no tenderness in his eyes, only some impatience.

At this moment, what he wanted most was Aunt Lin from the Prime Minister's Mansion!
