When Xiao Heng mentioned Su Yaolai, there was a smile in his eyes.
Cui Daru looked at him deeply, smiled and shook his head.
When the soldiers in the barracks were calmed down, Mr. Cui Si even mentioned this to Mr. Cui Daru: "Father, don't you realize that His Highness trusts the county lady too much?"
The entire family's life and property depended on Xiao Heng, so Fourth Master Cui couldn't help but pay close attention to Xiao Heng's every move. In fact, he had discovered this matter a long time ago, but this was the first time he seriously mentioned it to Great Scholar Cui.
Cui Daru glanced at his son and said, "Well, you are not too stupid to see this."
Seeing that Fourth Master Cui followed him with some reluctance, Cui Daru raised his hand to stop what Fourth Master Cui was about to say, and said directly: "Since you can see this, then naturally, how could His Highness not know it? His Highness can take a fancy to the county lady, which shows that he has a very good vision, and it is also our good luck."
Since it was a private conversation between father and son, there were not so many taboos, so Cui Daru did not hide anything and just said directly: "For His Highness, a Crown Prince's Consort who can give him advice and fight alongside him is better than those noble ladies who sit in the boudoir and only know how to embroider. Do you still need me to teach you this truth?"
Of course, Xiao Heng didn't choose Su Yao just because he needed a Crown Prince's Consort, but this was Xiao Heng's own business.
And for Xiao Heng's subordinates, this reason is the most important.
Fourth Master Cui suddenly realized something, but he was still a little worried: "But father, this is just His Highness's idea... What if His Majesty has other arrangements?"
Now Xiao Heng's brilliance can no longer be concealed. He has bitten off the hard-to-bite piece of Yunnan. Not only that, Xiao Heng is going to continue to recover Nandian Xuanfusi and other places. His brilliance now overshadows all the princes. Who can compare with him
In this case, the emperor might have other arrangements for him. If Xiao Heng acts on his own, will he displease the emperor
We have finally come to this point. If His Majesty is displeased because of the marriage, wouldn’t it be a great loss
Cui Daru patted Master Cui Si on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness, you no longer need marriage to consolidate your status. A truly capable person does not need this."
Fourth Master Cui naturally knew that Xiao Heng was outstanding, but he somewhat disagreed with his father's opinion that Xiao Heng no longer needed to use marriage to consolidate his position.
After all, Huang Sun Guiwei's marriage is such a good bargaining chip to win over allies and forces. Wouldn't it be a pity if it weren't used
But seeing his father say so, Mr. Cui Si had nothing to say and just nodded thoughtfully.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Before this, Mr. Cui was still worried about Xiao Heng's special attitude towards Su Yao, but then he received news that Su Yao had arrived in Dali.
He couldn't help but be a little shocked: "We have just taken over Dali Prefecture, and the news may have only just reached Kunming. How come the county lady came here so quickly?!"
Isn't this too fast?!
The people below didn't know exactly, but they said with certainty: "The county lady has really come now. I saw with my own eyes that Earl Yongding went to pick her up."
What else could Master Cui Si say? Looking at this posture, it is clear that His Highness's devotion to this county lady is absolutely unique.
When Su Yao arrived at Dali Prefecture, the first person to be happy was not anyone else but Madam Mu Si.
Madam Mu Si was really relieved. Before Su Yao came, all the people who came from the court were men. As a woman in the rear house, she couldn't say anything to them, and it was not right for her to ask them anything. Now that a county lady had finally come, Madam Mu Si almost immediately asked to meet her.
As soon as Su Yao entered the Mu Mansion, he heard that Fourth Madam Mu wanted to see him, and he couldn't help but smile.
When she smiled, Mrs. Liao couldn't help but smile too.
Madam Yuan chuckled softly at the side and said, "I'm afraid that Madam Mu Si has been worried all this time. Now that she heard that a woman with influence has come to the court, she is desperate and is trying all kinds of methods to find a cure."
After hearing this, everyone smiled at each other.
Just then, Xiao Heng's voice came from outside: "That's right, that's why I hurriedly sent a letter to invite my wife over."
Seeing Xiao Heng come in, Madam Liao and Madam Yuan both stood up hurriedly to greet him.
Xiao Heng gently asked them to stand up, then asked them to sit down. He told them about the current situation in Dali Prefecture and said, "The situation has just been settled. We don't want to cause any trouble. The men will naturally handle the front affairs, but the affairs of the back house can easily cause headaches if not handled properly. So I will trouble you two ladies to comfort the orphans and the female students."
Mrs. Liao wouldn't find it troublesome at all.
This is Dali Prefecture!
Xiao Heng conquered Dali Prefecture, which even Taizu had not been able to deal with. This was a huge achievement. And she helped to pacify and deal with post-war affairs, which was also a contribution and a great achievement. Not to mention the commendations and rewards from the court, these achievements will be recorded in the history books.
Mrs. Liao felt excited just thinking about being able to participate in such a big event. Even if she became the governor's wife, would her name be written in history books in the future
But what she did in Dali Prefecture will definitely leave her name behind, what a great honor!
She laughed hastily, "Your Highness, you are really embarrassing me by saying that. I know very well that with your ability, you will definitely handle these things. Don't worry, I will do my best."
Madam Yuan had the same idea, and she was more practical: "Your Highness is going to do great things now, just leave these trivial matters to us, we will definitely do them beautifully for you."
Xiao Heng smiled and thanked them: "Thank you very much, Madams. In the current situation, you two madams are needed to bring Madam Mu Si to gather all the noble ladies in the city. Let's sit together and talk. You can also tell them that the court treats all those who surrender equally and will never do anything to settle accounts behind their backs. Let them rest assured."
Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Yuan both agreed solemnly.
After finishing the business, Xiao Heng looked at Su Yao with a smile.
He hasn't seen Su Yao for several months. Come to think of it, it's not that long, but every time he sees Su Yao, he always feels different.
Now when I see her, I feel that she is even more beautiful than before, like a newly opened lotus flower, tall and graceful, pure but not coquettish, and pleasing to the eye.
His eyes were full of smiles: "Shall we go out for a walk?"
Neither Mrs. Liao nor Mrs. Yuan took his words seriously; they just smiled knowingly.
