Chapter 668: Fun or Not

Hou Junji has only been dismissed from his official post, but he still has a chance to make a comeback. However, Xue Wanchen does not have the favor of the emperor like Hou Junji. If he commits the same crime as Hou Junji, Xue Wanchen will not have the opportunity to make a comeback.
After all, Xue Wanchen did not have the merit of following behind the emperor or the coup d'état, nor did he have the favor of Hou Junji.
So if he is also greedy for money, even if he escapes punishment, he will never have the opportunity to lead troops in future expeditions!
For Xue Wanche, it's better to die than not being able to fight on the battlefield!
Therefore, Xue Wanche is especially grateful to Su Cheng because Su Cheng has given him a new life.
In the mansion, Princess Danyang is also expressing her gratitude.
"Thanks to Lord Gong's reminder, when Houxunji was in the Gaochang Kingdom, he was about to distribute several carts of wealth to Xue Wanche. If he had remembered Lord Gong's reminder, he would have definitely brought back the treasure, but that would have been a disaster!"
"Changle, you know, this son-in-law of mine, apart from being good at warfare, is useless at everything else. It is thanks to the favor of the Duke that he has the opportunity to lead troops. But he only knows how to fight, he's like a fool in other aspects. Fortunately, there's the Duke to help him. Changle, I'm truly grateful!" Princess Danyang said earnestly.
Princess Changle laughed and said, "Dan Yang aunty is being too polite. It is because the husband and Prime Minister Xue have a good rapport, and the husband greatly admires Prime Minister Xue's military skills!"
The Pearl Princess on the other side smiled and listened, but she kept observing the expression on Princess Changle's face, as she felt that Princess Changle seemed to have a low mood, as if she had something on her mind.
After the Princess left, the Pearl Princess couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Changle? You don't look very happy?"
"Is it because of Hou Junji? It was right not to intercede for him. Let me tell you, the Emperor's punishment was too light. He won the battle but still gets angry at women. What kind of Great General is he?"
Princess Changle shook her head slightly after listening. Although Su Cheng did not ultimately help justify Hou Junji's actions, she didn't feel surprised either.
What does it matter if she offended Hou Junji?
Even if Hou Junji is punished, what does it matter if he can make a comeback?
Even if Hou Junji has merits and has the favor of the emperor, what does it matter?
When it comes to merits and the emperor's favor, who can surpass her and her husband?
What can make Princess Changle distressed is certainly not the trivial matters of Hou Junji.
Princess Zhenzhu asked with concern, "What is it actually about? Although I may not be able to help much, I can also give you some advice!"
Although knowing that Princess Changle couldn't come up with any ideas, it's still good to confide in someone," Princess Changle sighed softly, "My husband is going south!"
Pearl Princess was stunned when she heard this: "Su Cheng is going south? Where is he going south? What's the purpose of going south?"
Princess Changle explained, "It's all because of the sailing thing."
It turns out it's about the heated discussion regarding sailing. Princess Pearl laughed and said, "Just go south! Why worry so much about this? People say the scenery in the south is beautiful and prosperous. Su Cheng is going to enjoy himself, not going to fight in the northwest. What's there to worry about?"
Worries are definitely there, but it's mostly lovesickness! Pearl Princess probably wouldn't understand this kind of thing.
And Princess Changle is also too embarrassed to say it out loud. It's one thing to talk about lovesickness in front of Su Cheng and Ying Luo, even though Pearl Princess is already her good friend, she still doesn't feel comfortable saying it.
"After all, it's a long journey, so of course there are some worries!" Princess Changle explained.
But Princess Pearl saw through it and chuckled softly, "Could it be because of lovesickness?"
Princess Changle's face turned red, caught in her thoughts as she had been accurately guessed.
Pearl Princess exclaimed, "Really? Su Cheng hasn't even left yet, and you miss him so much? You two really are inseparable!"
Princess Changle blushed and pouted, "Don't make fun of me. After you get married in the future, you'll know how it feels."
"Get married? I definitely don't want to!" Princess Zhūzhū shook her head.
"But women are supposed to get married, aren't they? There are so many dashing young men in Chang'an, isn't there one that catches your eye? Father even hopes you'll marry into the great Tang Dynasty!" Princess Changle asked with a smile.
Princess Zhenshu fell silent for a moment, then decisively shook her head and smiled, saying, "Actually, there is a possibility that I will have to leave Chang'an and return to Tubo."
Princess Changle was instantly shocked upon hearing this. She grabbed Princess Zhenshu's hand and exclaimed, "Ah? You're going back to Tubo?"
The expression of Princess Changle is not fake at all, she is really reluctant. Although she has not known Princess Zhengu for a long time, she is the best friend of hers besides Princess Yuzhang.
Because Pearl Princess's cheerful and kind nature really makes her like her a lot, sometimes she really hopes that Pearl Princess can marry into the Tang Dynasty.
Sometimes she really thinks that it would be nice if Pearl Princess married the King of Wu, they really look compatible, but unfortunately, Pearl Princess didn't really like the King of Wu.
Pearl Princess nodded and said, "Maybe, I heard Big Xiang mentioned that we need to send an envoy back to Tubo because the harsh winter is over, and it's time for Tubo to resume production."
Princess Changle held the hand of Princess Zhenzhu and said reluctantly, "Ah, when will we see each other again? My husband is going south, and my dear sister is also returning to Tubo!"
Pearl Princess held her hand and said, "Actually, I feel reluctant as well. I love the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the enthusiasm of the people. Before coming to the Tang Dynasty, I was full of curiosity and longing for it. After coming here, my curiosity and longing for the Tang Dynasty have only grown stronger!"
"However, even if I leave, I will definitely come back! Besides, Da Xiang only mentioned it once, nothing has been decided!"
"Then come and visit when you have time!" Princess Changle said reluctant."
"Hmm, the thing I miss the most is the delicious food from your home, I always can't get enough of it!" Princess Pearl laughed.
Princess Changle smiled bitterly and said, "It seems like what you miss the most is not me, but the food!"
Pearl Princess nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's right!"
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while, and then the Pearl Princess reluctantly left, coincidentally meeting Su Cheng on her way back.
"Su Cheng, I heard you are heading south?" Pearl Princess asked curiously.
Su Cheng nodded and smiled, "Yes, you heard it right!"
Pearl Princess nodded and asked, "Is Jiangnan fun? I heard that Jiangnan has beautiful scenery, like a bustling painting, is it true?"
Su Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. Everyone says that the south of the Yangtze River is good, and it's only suitable for old people to visit. The spring water is as blue as the sky, and the painted boat listens to the rain while sleeping. The people by the riverside are like the moon, with frosty white arms. Don't return home before getting old, returning home will be heart-wrenching. What do you think, is it fun?"
