"Don't bother grandpa, I have already explained it clearly to my father."

Xiao Jie's clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, and then a figure of Su Yao's yearning appeared at the door.

Su Yao looked excited, got up in a hurry, and rushed to Xiao Jie, her eyes fixed on her husband, she couldn't believe it, if there were no other people present, she might have thrown herself into Xiao Jie's arms to express her lovesickness It's hard.

Xiao Jie also saw the longing and affection in Su Yao's eyes, and his heart was full of tenderness. He also restrained the urge to hold Su Yao in his arms, and just gave her a reassuring smile to make her believe that his husband Really come back.

"Veteran see His Royal Highness King Qi."

Although Su Hong didn't want to spoil the scenery, but due to etiquette, he still had to go forward and salute Xiao Jie with his hands in his hands.

Xiao Jie smiled apologetically at Su Yao, then stepped forward to help Su Hong up, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you don't need to be so polite, we are all one family. There is no king of Qi here, only the son-in-law of the Su family."

Su Hong stroked his beard in satisfaction and smiled. The granddaughter is good, and the grandson-in-law is even better. He is not arrogant and rude because of his noble background.

Although she had a lot to say and wanted to confide in her husband, Su Yao still took Tao Han to visit the Su Mansion under the pretext of taking Tao Han out of the living room to let her grandfather and her husband talk about some serious matters between men.

As usual, the two exchanged a few pleasantries first, before Su Hong said with emotion: "If Miss Tao hadn't mentioned it, I would not have known that His Highness has done so many things in Jiaozhou. A poor state has become the richest state, but I don't know how much effort His Highness has put into it, and the people of Jiaozhou are blessed to have His Highness as the governor."

No matter what, Xiao Jie should still be humble: "Grandfather is too famous, and he seeks to govern in his position. Since my father appointed me as the governor of Jiaozhou, I will naturally do my best to benefit the people of one side, so as to live up to the holy grace. "

Su Hong nodded slightly, looked at Xiao Jie with more admiration and admiration, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there are a lot of rumors and rumors about His Highness in Beijing, and most of them are accusing His Highness of falsification in order to compete for the crown prince. Your Highness has done such a great job, how can you slander him like this, I will write a letter to His Majesty tomorrow, begging His Majesty to investigate this matter strictly and preserve His Highness's reputation."

Xiao Jie shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you grandfather, but the emperor has already sent Qilin Guard to handle this matter, so there is no need to trouble grandfather to write another letter."

"Kirin Guard... that's okay." Although Su Hong, as a civil servant, naturally doesn't like such a bloody institution like Qilin Guard, there is no one more suitable than them to check this kind of rumors in the streets and alleys.

The two of them chatted with each other, and the topics were specious, and they didn't get to the point.

Su Hong even told Xiao Jie one thing, that is, Gu Zhaoyuan, the mother concubine of King Xiao Xuan of Wu, was jealous of Song Shi, the concubine of King Xiao Huang of Qin. The noble concubine often spoke bad things about the noble concubine Song in private, but she didn't want to be reported by the maids around her. Xiao Ji was furious and directly demoted her from Zhaoyuan to a talented person. Even Wu Wang Xiaoxuan was also implicated by her, and she was imprisoned in the mansion for a month.

Xiao Jie smiled: "Brother Three Emperors regained the Western Regions and made great contributions to the imperial court. The concubine Song's mother valued her children, and Gu Cairen is asking for trouble."

Su Hong stared at Xiao Jie suddenly, and asked in a deep voice: "Many colleagues in the court are now rumoring that the emperor is very likely to choose between His Highness and King Qin to be the crown prince, what does His Highness think? "

Xiao Jie still smiled, without saying yes or no: "It doesn't matter what other people say, and it doesn't matter what I think. The important thing is what the father thinks."

Su Hong's gaze was still fixed on Xiao Jie, and his tone became a bit more serious: "Does Your Highness have no idea about the crown prince?"

Xiao Jie never expected that Su Hong would ask such a blunt question. Thinking about it, Zuo Pushe, who has been the Shangshu for almost half a year, still hasn't changed his upright temperament.

But now that Su Hong has had a showdown, Xiao Jie can no longer be vague, so he nodded: "Don't dare to lie to grandfather, I, Xiao Jie, is also of the blood of the Tian family and the son of the emperor, so I naturally want to be the prince and inherit the throne." Daning Jiangshan Sheji protects the foundation of the ancestors."

Su Hong didn't seem to expect Xiao Jie to be so frank, he was silent for a while, his expression was solemn, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.

After pondering for a long time, Su Hong seemed to have finally made up his mind. He nodded heavily at Xiao Jie, and said in a deep voice: "Since His Highness is so frank with me, I will no longer cover up. I, our Su family, and All of my disciples, Su Hong, will fully support His Highness to enter the East Palace, and support His Highness to become the crown prince of Daning."

Xiao Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted Su Hong, and said gratefully, "Thank you, grandfather."

Su Hong waved his hand to signal Xiao Jie to sit down, and said solemnly, "I support Your Highness not because His Highness is the son-in-law of my Su family, but because His Highness's achievements in governing Jiaozhou have convinced me, Su Hong, that if His Highness inherits the great Ning Jiangshan Sheji must be the luck of Daning and the blessing of the people of the world."

Xiao Jie got up again, and swore to the sky: "If I, Xiao Jie, can really inherit the Daning country one day, I will definitely live up to the Su family, the ancestors of Daning, and the people of the world."

Su Hong nodded in relief, he finally saw the right person.

He is a Confucianist in the world, and he followed the way of the sages, so he couldn't directly ask Xiao Jie for a reward.

But he is not a saint after all, he is still the head of the Su family, and he has to think about the future of the Su family.

If Xiao Jie inherits the throne in the future, his granddaughter Su Yao will be the queen of Daning, his great-grandson Xiao Ke will be the prince of Daning, and their Su family will be Daning's relatives, and they can have at least a few decades of marriage. Respect and wealth, if the descendants of the Su family manage well, they may not be able to become a famous family like the Langya Wang family.
