Chapter 195 Cooperation
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, his thoughts withdrawn from this inspiring marching music, and he looked at Su Qingqing in confusion.
Su Qingqing played with the wine cup in her hand, "Regarding the fur shop, do you want to be assigned?"
Xiao Yu immediately became defensive.
This Crown Princess has been troubled many times since she came to the Great Yan Kingdom, but if you think about it carefully, she has never suffered a loss.
In the end, those who suffer are not always those who rush to find fault.
The Rong'an Marquis's Mansion and the Crown Princess have a grudge...
"I have no official position or job, so I am not qualified." Xiao Yu smiled respectfully and refused.
Su Qingqing had expected this result. Anyone who could secretly hide his abilities under the noses of the people in Rong'an Marquis' Mansion was definitely not a fool like Su Xiang.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Listen to the conditions I offer you and then decide."
Xiao Yu shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I am not worthy of being in such a refined place. My skills are only enough to play a few games of chess with Miss Yingliu, and I can't even win."
Su Qingqing curled her lips, "You are such a boring person."
As she spoke, she leaned towards Xiao Yu and said, "Don't you want to go to the battlefield? A brave man spends his whole life in the military."
It has to be said that Su Qingqing hit upon the point that Xiao Yu desired most in his heart.
Su Qingqing said, "Don't you want to form an army, like General Su did back then, to have an army that almost belonged to her personally?"
Although General Su was a traitor that everyone avoided , Xiao Yu had to admit that deep down in his heart he admired the great general.
Gallant and heroic figure, with weapons and iron horses.
He pursed his lips.
Su Qingqing saw every expression on his face clearly, "I won't force you. It's up to you whether you are willing or not. If you are willing, I can recommend someone to you and let him take you. If you are really talented, you will be promoted quickly in the army.
On a man's battlefield, victory or defeat is determined by blood.
If you have real ability, they will really respect you.
This is completely different from the harem strife.”
Su Qingqing's voice became a little deeper as she spoke, with a hint of temptation, "Don't you want to try it?"
Xiao Yu swallowed subconsciously.
Don't you want to?
He dreams about it.
What's more, given his current predicament , if he really went to the military camp, he would naturally avoid the marriage.
Even if the mistress is determined to marry him off, if he doesn't come back for three to five years, or eight to ten years, there will come a day when she can't wait any longer.
It's not that he doesn't want to get married, he just doesn't want to be completely controlled by others for his whole life.
If he is controlled like this, then his son and daughter, when they are born in the future, will also not be able to escape the fate of being controlled.
Xiao Yu lowered his eyes, with strong emotions in his eyes. He placed his hands on his knees, and rubbed them repeatedly with his fingertips.
Su Qingqing did not urge her, but just gave Yingliu a wink, causing Yingliu to play the song a little slower.
Xiao Yu was silent for a long time, so long that Jixiang's legs were almost numb from standing. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Qingqing, "Why?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I just like dealing with smart people. It saves trouble. I'll tell you straight, just listen.
Your father, your sister, and I all have a grudge. You should understand what the grudge is.
I chose you for one reason: I wanted you to fight your elder brother."
Xiao Yu's eyes trembled. He didn't expect that the Crown Princess would say it so bluntly.
Su Qingqing looked nonchalant, "Shocked? I thought you understood."
Xiao Yu was stunned.
Then he smiled.
"You think we'll have internal strife sooner or later, don't you?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Isn't it? Oh, it is also possible that there is no possibility of fighting at all, and you can only give up unilaterally and leave Rong'an Marquis Mansion. However, if you can leave, can your sister also leave?
In another three years, she should be married.”
Su Qingqing joked about the little thing he was worried about. Xiao Yu couldn't tell what he felt at the moment, but he felt a tightness in his chest. "You let us kill each other, what good will it do me?"
Su Qingqing said: "I have just told you the benefits. I will provide you with opportunities and channels. As for the future, that is your own ability. I will be responsible for delivering the food but not for cooking or feeding."
Xiao Yu looked into Su Qingqing's eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I will become really powerful one day and turn against you? After all, I have the blood of the Rong'an Marquisate flowing in my veins."
Su Qingqing asked back, "Can you?"
Xiao Yu smiled, "Who knows, maybe."
Su Qingqing picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it. "I live in the present. I am happy now . As for the future, I don't care about raising a tiger to cause trouble. Whether I can kill the tiger is my ability, so don't worry about it.
Let’s talk about whether it should be done or not.”
Xiao Yu pursed his lips and paused, "How can I trust you?"
Su Qingqing burst out laughing, "Why should you trust me? I'm not forming an alliance with you, nor am I cooperating with you."
Xiao Yu was completely confused now.
Su Qingqing explained: "I am only providing you with an opportunity to prove yourself. If you do well in this opportunity, it will be beneficial to you and me. If you don't do well, I will do something else.
You don't need to believe me, you can beat your brother, even if I can't fulfill what I said today, you won't suffer any loss, right?"
Xiao Yu looked at Su Qingqing with a complicated expression, "Yes."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "So, are you willing?"
"good."
The sound of Yingliu playing the music suddenly stopped.
Su Qingqing waved her hand and said, "Go prepare some cold dishes. Your five-spice beef is great. Also prepare a plate of spicy chicken feet for Jixiang."
This is to send Yingliu out.
Yingliu opened the door and went out, while Jixiang walked to the door and pulled a chair to stand guard there.
Su Qingqing slightly bent her index finger and tapped the table, "What you need to do is not too complicated. I have real account books sent to me by shops all over the country this year.
Besides, it would be even better if you have the ability to do something inconspicuous on the account book handed over by the prince.
Although I said that you don't need to believe me, I'm going to make it clear that if you don't agree, then that's fine. But if you agree and then try to trick me again, I will definitely not let it go."
Xiao Yu looked serious, "Since I have promised the Majesty, I will not break my promise."
He was silent for a moment, "Can I ask the queen about this shop...what will be the final outcome of Rong'an Marquis Mansion?"
Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "What is your bottom line?"
Xiao Yu was stunned, then smiled bitterly. After a long while, he said word by word, "Except for my sister, I have no bottom line."
Smart people don't need to waste words. After saying what he needed to say, Xiao Yu stood up and said goodbye.
When he went out, he happened to meet Ying Liu coming up from the first floor with a tray. When they passed by each other, Xiao Yu said to Ying Liu, "I underestimated you before."
Ying Liu's hand holding the tray trembled slightly, "Mr. Xiao is always joking. When have you ever beaten me in chess? Why are you talking nonsense here?"
Xiao Yu looked at her, smiled, said nothing more, and went downstairs.
