Chapter 327 Face
Su Heng left the private room with a great deal of noise, and walked out of the restaurant with a dark face and full of anger.
Su Heng had his own followers. As soon as he left, the followers immediately followed him, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Su Heng knew that someone was following him.
He raised his voice deliberately and said indignantly: "My sister asked me to go back! It's so annoying!"
The attendant glanced at the back and said hurriedly, "Can't you talk to the queen? His Majesty and the Queen have also sent a letter, saying that Your Highness can stay until our princess has given birth and is out of confinement. Then can you bring our princess back to Zhaoguoxiao to live together?"
Su Heng waved his hands irritably, "It's so annoying. He said I should leave tomorrow."
The attendant sighed, "Your Highness, please don't blame me for being nosy. In fact, our princess is doing this for your own good. After all, you are the legitimate prince of our Zhao Kingdom. Although you are not crowned as the crown prince, you are still of noble status. It is indeed not appropriate for you to always live in the Great Yan Kingdom like this. How can we explain this? Only a hostage would do this.
Our princess is doing this for your own good."
Su Heng walked into a tea shop, pulled out a stool and sat down on the street. He knew that someone was following him, but he didn't know where the person was hiding. He couldn't find him and didn't dare to find him for fear of being exposed.
"I know my sister is doing this for my own good, but I'm also worried about her. Forget it, I've been away from Zhaoguo for a long time, and I don't want to make her angry. I'm going to go back first and come back after a while. Then I'll stay until she's done with the confinement, and she won't have anything to say."
After saying that, Su Heng seemed to have thrown the matter aside. He grabbed the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, tilted his head back to drink it, wiped his mouth, and stood up.
"Since you are going back, come on, walk around with me and bring some gifts back to my father, the emperor and my mother."
The attendant hurriedly followed, "Hey, what do you need to prepare? Our princess is sure to have prepared everything."
Su Heng rolled his eyes.
"What can she prepare? It's nothing more than the things in the palace. She sent a batch of them during the last New Year's Day. They were meaningless. What I want to bring back must be something I have in mind. I won't mix it with hers."
Su Heng is not very old this year, so it is not at all inappropriate for him to act like a child.
He strolled along the bustling streets of the Great Yan State with his entourage, went into any shop he was interested in, and asked the shopkeeper to pack it for him and send it to the Prince's Mansion if he saw something he liked.
After walking around for most of the day, when he returned to the Prince's Mansion, the steward of the Prince's Mansion was standing at the door waiting for him with a look of despair on his face.
When I saw him coming back, I went to meet him from a distance.
"My little prince, what's wrong with you? Why did you buy half a yard of stuff for no reason? If the queen knew about this, she would say that I didn't think highly of you."
Su Heng was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that this might have been arranged by his sister.
So he raised his voice to express his dissatisfaction.
"What could it be? My sister asked me to go home to visit my family, and I brought this as a gift!"
The manager next to him immediately rolled his eyes.
You are originally the prince of Zhao State, so why did you go home to visit your relatives this time?
"Ancestor, when you go back, our emperor and queen will not be without your gifts. They will definitely have everything you have prepared. How are you going to carry so much back when the time comes?"
Su Heng glanced at the butler, "What do you mean?"
The butler had a bitter face.
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, you need to prepare at least three to five carts of stuff. The stuff you bought yourself will probably take ten carts to carry. By then, we will need an escort team of many people to deliver these things safely so that they will not be robbed by the mountain bandits."
Su Heng was shocked and asked, "I bought so much?"
The manager looked like he was going crazy. Don’t you have an idea of how much you bought?
"My ancestor, you even bought an ebony chest of drawers. What else can I say? This thing must be a whole cart by itself, not to mention that you also bought a pear wood step-out bed. This thing is not unavailable in Zhao State. Can we not take these back?"
Su Heng immediately waved his hand, "No, although there are some in Zhao State, the bed I slept on in Dayan State these days is the pear wood step-out bed. I am familiar with my bed, and I must bring back an identical one.
I have to take everything I bought back home, but how should I take it back..."
Su Heng dragged out the word and smiled with glee.
"Let my sister worry about it. She was the one who asked me to come back anyway."
After saying this, he returned home humming a tune while waving his sleeves, completely ignoring the embarrassed face of the housekeeper behind him.
…
At the home of the Minister of Rites.
The Minister of Rites was reading a secret letter in his study when someone suddenly knocked on the door. "Sir."
The voice came from the Minister of Rites' trusted follower. He put away the secret letter and stuffed it into the drawer under the desk. "Come in."
This study was converted from a wing room in the house. Neither in size nor in terms of soundproofing was as good as his original residence. In order to make it usable, the Minister of Rites cut down all the trees around the wing room, leaving the yard bare and no one was allowed to approach. He also renovated the yard.
When he was discussing things with others, there was someone guarding outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Sir, the people who followed the Queen sent news today that the Queen took the young prince of Zhao State to Fengying Tower for dinner in the morning. When they went there, the young prince was overjoyed, but within a quarter of an hour, he left with a look of anger on his face.
After leaving, the little prince wandered around the shops in Kyoto and bought half a yard of things.
Because his behavior was a bit strange, one of the people who were following the Queen was assigned to follow the little prince. When the little prince returned to the Prince's Mansion, they heard the conversation between the little prince and the steward of the Prince's Mansion.
It seems that the Queen wants the little prince to return to Zhao State, and the things the little prince bought are all prepared to be taken back. "
The Minister of Rites was stunned.
He was not surprised at all that Su Qingqing asked Su Heng to return to Zhao State.
Ever since Rong Que ascended the throne, Su Qingqing has mentioned several times that the little prince should go back.
But why did Su Heng buy so many things?
Rong Que and Su Qingqing clearly had to prepare something for him.
The Minister of Rites couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he waved his hand and asked his followers to leave for the time being. He took out the secret letter from the drawer and continued to read it. After reading it, he lit a fire to burn the secret letter, then got up and left the house.
He had to go to Duke Xue's mansion.
When the Minister of Rites arrived, Duke Xue was eating grapes under the flower trellis, squinting his eyes and looking very enjoyable.
Seeing him coming, she ignored him and just continued eating with her eyes narrowed.
He had messed up the last enthronement ceremony, and Duke Xue had been looking at him badly for several days because of it.
