The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

A figure flew from the gate towards the platform in the center and finally stopped after crashing into the platform.

The fight on their side quickly attracted the attention of others.

Yuan Wen quickly ran behind Su Rou and said, "Don't hurt yourself."

Su Rou waved her hands, "They can't bear it even for a moment. They are very weak. Let's go. They won't catch up."

I don’t have the ability to keep up.

There were dozens of carriages parked outside, one of which belonged to Yuan Wen.

The maid got out of the car and helped Yuan Wen up, "Miss, go slowly."

Yuan Wen turned his head and looked at Su Rou, "What are you standing there for? Come up together, I'll take you back."

Su Rou said, "No, you go back first, I have someone to take me home."

Yuan Wen was stunned.

Gong Yu happened to come out of the door at this time. Su Rou glanced at him sideways. The person she mentioned as "someone who would deliver it" was Gong Yu. She was sure that Gong Yu would take the initiative to ask her for the ginseng.

But she didn't expect Gong Yu to be so impatient. She became even more curious about the person Gong Yu wanted to save! !

Yuan Wen looked as if he understood. "Okay, it seems that it's because I'm an eyesore here."

Su Rou and Gong Yu watched Yuan Wen's carriage disappear into the night.

She turned around and said, "Your Highness Prince Yu should have brought his entourage today, right? Let's go and take me back."

Su Rou walked towards the carriages, but Gong Yu grabbed her collar.

She was held in Gong Yu's hand like a little chick.

He studied her face and said, "When did I ever say I would send you off? Miss Su, you dare to get on anyone's carriage, don't you?"

Su Rou held Gong Yu's arm in her own and looked at the firm feel of his hand. How could it resemble that of the sickly person who was pretending to cough just now?

Su Rou said, "Your Highness Prince Yu, you must have misunderstood. Look, isn't Yuan Wen's carriage more luxurious than yours? What does it mean that I only ride in your carriage? It means that I am willing..."

Gong Yu blocked her mouth with his other hand, "You want to get on my carriage? You have to bring something else to exchange with me."

Su Rou asked knowingly, "Okay, what does Prince Yu want?"

Gong Yu carried her to the carriage and threw Su Rou onto it. "I'll buy the ginseng you bought today. You name a price, I only want it."

Su Rou said, "How can this be possible? I don't plan to resell that ginseng. Your Highness Prince Yu, aren't you making things difficult for me..."

She didn't want to point out directly that the ginseng was bought for him. It would be nice to tease Gong Yu like teasing a kitten. If Gong Yu got angry, he would at most be like a kitten and could do nothing but get angry.

Gong Yu said, "I... need that thing. You can name any price you want."

Su Rou sat beside him and lifted her hair. "Do you think the General's Mansion is short of that little money?"

The general's mansion is not short of money, after all, it has to support so many people.

Gong Yu fell silent again.

Su Rou's tone was very coquettish, "It's a bit cold, please take me home."

Yuan Wen thought that she bought it to please him on purpose, so she couldn't just give it to him directly.

The next day, Su Rou didn't wake up until noon.

When Su Rou woke up, the mansion was filled with an incongruous festive atmosphere. She happened to see a maid holding kumquats and red paper when she passed by her door.

"Arou, you finally woke up. Something big happened!!" Su Wan, wearing armor, strode in from outside the yard.

Su Rou, who had just finished washing up, looked up and saw Su Wan holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand.

Su Rou said, "What? What is that?"

Su Wan placed his hands on Su Rou's shoulders, "The third brother has been granted a marriage."

Su Rou was shocked. "Who? Third brother? Third brother and who?"

My third brother has reached marriage age, but is not married yet.

The men in the capital are the same as the women. If someone is interested in a woman, they can ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.

"As for the Third Princess, I sent someone to inquire about her during the morning court session. It's said that the Third Princess developed a crush on the Third Prince because she was saved by him during the last hunting trip."

Su Rou slapped her forehead and felt speechless!

The General's Mansion does not need a princess from the Northern Kingdom's royal family as a young lady. She remembered that it was her father who brought the third princess out of the forest last time.

It can be said that the third princess did not like her father, otherwise she would have become her fourth mother. However, it is a troublesome thing that she has set her eyes on the third brother now.

Looking back now, she felt that the gifts the emperor had given her as a token of his goodwill were also for this purpose...

Including the fact that the emperor agreed to the third princess's wish, it was probably all for the purpose of allowing the general's mansion to have closer ties with the Northern Kingdom's royal family.

If Gong Yu didn't lead his men to attack the Northern Kingdom in the future, the current situation would be extremely good for the General's Mansion. But Gong Yu would destroy the country! What's the point of the General's Mansion keeping a princess?!

Su Rou asked again, "What did Third Brother say?"

Su Wan said, "The third brother just didn't want to, so I told him the big deal!"

The third brother is unwilling to marry the third princess, which is tantamount to disobeying the imperial order.

For now, the emperor's decree has been issued and they have no choice but to obey.

Su Rou's eyes darkened. The only way was to go to the third princess to find a breakthrough.

Su Rou said, "Come here, go to the palace and invite the Third Princess to come to the mansion for a chat. Tell her that the General's Mansion wants to find out the Princess's feelings first."

Su Rou turned around and said to Su Wan, "Father, after the Third Princess arrives, please find a way to keep her here until I come back."

Su Wan nodded in confusion, and it was clear that he had no idea what she was going to do next, but she reminded him again, and his body reacted instinctively.

Su Rou asked the coachman to drive the carriage as fast as possible and take her to the palace.

In the Queen's bedroom, the courtyard was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the palace maids spoke in soft voices.

"Your Majesty, Captain Su requests to see you." The palace maid who came to deliver the message broke the peaceful scene.

Su Rou hurriedly followed the palace maid in from outside.

Although they were all women, her appearance seemed to completely isolate the others.

Su Rou knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, I greet the Queen."

The queen did not call her up.

Su Rou took a quick look and saw the Queen fiddling with the tea set on the table with an expressionless face.

Wow, it seems that the queen knows why she came today.

Su Rou added, "If the Queen doesn't ask me to get up, then I will get up."

The maid beside her shouted angrily, "How dare you! The Queen hasn't said anything yet, and you're acting on your own..."

Perhaps realizing that her status wouldn't be enough to suppress her, the Queen finally spoke, "Everyone else, please leave first. I have something to discuss with her."

All the palace maids withdrew, leaving only Su Rou and the Queen in the yard.

The Queen raised her hand and placed the teacup across from her. "Are you meeting me today about the Third Princess?"

Su Rou stood up and sat down opposite the Queen. "Your Majesty is wise. I think the Queen is also unhappy about the marriage between the Third Princess and my third brother. Can I ask the Queen for her opinion?"

They couldn't openly disobey the order, so they could only find the source of the problem and solve it.

The Queen dropped the teacup to the ground, shattering it into pieces. "Hmph! You still have the nerve to be so cheeky in front of me. I used to be on the same page with you, and I've even stood up for you a few times. But you dare to play tricks on me! It's been so long, and you said you'd support my youngest son to become the Crown Prince. Why haven't you done anything yet?"

Su Rou explained calmly, "Your Majesty thinks things are too simple. How can it be so easy to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince? Don't I need to spend time preparing for the little prince?"

Weird.

This was just to deceive the Queen. If the Queen hadn't reminded her today, she would have forgotten that she had promised the Queen this.

The Queen examined her and said, "But it hasn't worked at all! The ministers in the court have all recommended princes who have already reached marriageable age. My youngest son is only a small child!"

Su Rou found it funny. The Queen knew in her heart that the little prince was young. Didn't he have the ability to fight for power?

Letting a little kid who is just over one year old compete with several other princes who are both capable in literature and martial arts for the position of crown prince is like sending a lamb into the tiger's mouth.

Su Rou said, "Your Majesty, how could you think that there would be no results at all? Didn't my father even pay for the death-free golden medal to help you get rid of the deposed crown prince?"
