Chapter 429 429 The prince is here

  The next day.

  Qin Xiaoyao had just arrived at the barracks when he heard that the crown prince was coming, and he still came to look for her.

   When she entered the tent, the prince was already waiting for her inside.

  The prince, who was waiting in the tent, froze when he saw Qin Xiaoyao appearing.

   Immediately, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Xiaoyao.

  Qin Xiaoyao frowned, stepped forward to the prince and cupped his hands.

   "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Saluted.

   "The Marquis of Xiaoyao is exempt from the courtesy." The prince said bravely. I dare not even look at Qin Xiaoyao.

  He didn't want to come here, but because of his mother's order, he had to.

  The queen mother actually asked him to "cultivate feelings" with Xiaoyaohou, and let him pursue Xiaoyaohou, so that Xiaoyaohou would be his concubine willingly.

   It's just too appalling!

  Qin Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at the prince with displeasure.

   "Your Highness is here, but what's the matter?" asked.

  The prince has no real power in his hands, and basically has no contact with her, but this time he came here specially to find her.

  Besides what happened yesterday, she couldn't think of any other reason.

  Empress Jia was really persistent, she had clearly refused, and Xiang Yang had talked to her so much, but she still called the prince over.

   "Yes—something." Feeling the pressure on Qin Xiaoyao's body, the prince became even more nervous. But he could only bite the bullet and say.

  Qin Xiaoyao saluted again.

   "Please speak, Your Highness."

   "Mother-mother asked me to come to Xiaoyaohou's tent to assist Xiaoyaohou in handling the military affairs of the Ministry of War." The prince stammered.

   It caused Qin Xiaoyao to frown even deeper.

   "Recently, the Ministry of War doesn't have too many military affairs, and this Marquis alone can handle them. Your Highness is busy with affairs, so there is no need to waste time here." So Qin Xiaoyao said directly.

  Anyway, at Queen Jia's place, she has an upright personality.

  Even if the prince passed the words back, she would not be afraid.

  She is not interested, and she takes a soft-legged shrimp to work every day.

  After listening to the prince, he was greatly relieved.

   "Yes, Xiaoyaohou is right."

   "Then I will take my leave first." After speaking, the prince hurried away. Quickly, they left Qin Xiaoyao's camp.

  After that, he quickly left the barracks with his personal guards.

   Along the way, it seemed like a dog was chasing after him.

  Watching this scene, King Huaiyin couldn't help laughing.

  Xiaoyaohou, she is really not an ordinary woman...

  Also, with the prince's temperament, even if he doesn't fight with him, can he still hold the throne firmly?

  Qin Xiaoyao felt a lot more relieved when he saw the prince leave.

   Without thinking too much, I got busy.

   An hour later.

  Queen's bedroom.

  After listening to the prince's return, Jia Hou's expression was gloomy.

   "So, Xiaoyaohou asked you to leave, so you left?" asked the prince displeased.

  The prince was shocked.

   "Yes—yes." He replied timidly.

   This appearance made Empress Jia even more annoyed.

   "You are the current crown prince, and you are under the order of my palace to assist her in handling the affairs of the Ministry of War."

   "She is a courtier. She refused to obey orders and asked you to come back. You really came back!"

  The prince was instantly panicked.

   Immediately rushed to Jia Hou and knelt down.

   "The queen mother calm down!"

   "Mother, forgive me!" cried out in panic.

   Seeing this, Empress Jia finally flew into a rage.

   Picking up the teacup on the desk beside him, he threw it at the prince.

   "As soon as you face the prince, you kneel down at every turn! Your knees are so soft?!"

  The prince became more and more panicked, allowing the teacup to be smashed beside him, not knowing what to do.

   Want to get up, but dare not.

   "Quiet mother, calm down, queen mother, calm down!" I could only mutter.

  Jia Hou had a sudden headache.

  Rubbing the center of his brows with his hand, he suppressed his anger forcibly.

  When the prince saw this scene, he really wanted to go forward and ask about the situation.

   But because of fear, she still chose to kneel.

   After a while, Empress Jia calmed down a little, and finally looked at the prince.

   Seeing the fear and worry in the prince's eyes, the hatred of iron and steel in his heart faded a bit.

  The prince is cowardly, but also filial.

   "Xiaoyaohou is the pillar of the country. Only with her in the Jin Dynasty can there be long-term peace and stability."

   "In addition, she is highly skilled in martial arts and has invincible courage."

   "If you can get her help, no one will be able to harm you in the future."

   "In addition, if she becomes your princess, I can rest assured to give her more military power."

  Hou Jia's eyes darkened, "Even, let her rule the world's soldiers and horses."

  Most of the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty are still in the hands of King Huaiyin.

  Hou Xiaoyao is the only one she can think of who can logically replace King Huaiyin.

  The prince was shocked when he heard this.

   "Queen Mother—" once again looked at Queen Jia in fear.

  I'm afraid this is a test of Empress Jia for herself.

  He once had a dream of sitting in that position after his father died.

   But after being frightened a few times by his mother's punishment, he stopped those thoughts.

  Now he doesn't dare to think about anything, dare not want anything, he just wants to live.

   Seeing the prince's expression, Empress Jia sighed again in her heart.

   "The eldest prince is gone. You are the eldest son of the queen mother, and the longest among the existing princes."

   "In the future, it will be logical for you to inherit your father's throne."

  The crown prince's heart trembled, but his gaze was still uncertain.

   Empress Jia continued: "In the past—there were some things that my mother did not think about."

   "Right now, both the empress mother and your father are not as good as before."

   "I can only pave the way for you as much as possible while I still have some spare energy."

   "It also saves Huaiyin King's ambition not to die, and when the queen mother is gone, you will not be able to sit still."

  The prince's heart trembled again.

   King Huaiyin's ambitions are well known to the public.

  Before, he even secretly hoped that the King of Huaiyin could win against his mother and revive the prestige of their royal family.

   But now—

  Is the queen mother really planning to let him succeed the throne and return the imperial power to the Huangfu family?

  The prince was a little moved at this time.

   But thinking of the appearance of King Huaiyin, his heartbeat weakened a lot in an instant.

   King Huaiyin has made great achievements in battle, except for Xiaoyaohou, I am afraid that no one is as powerful as him.

  And his prowess is not only shown on the battlefield, there are also a large number of ministers who support him in the court.

   Apart from one identity, does he have the strength to compete with King Huaiyin?

  If he can't fight and offends King Huaiyin, what will happen to him?

  Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help shivering.

   "Father, queen, mother, Qianqiu, no—nothing will happen." So the prince said.

  When Empress Jia saw this, anger welled up in her heart again.

  Facing the exit, he still suppressed his anger.

   "Continue to help Xiaoyaohou. Try to get in touch with her more." He said.

  The crown prince looked up at Empress Jia with reluctance on his face.

   After seeing Jia, his expression became displeased, and he quickly responded.

   "My son obeys the order."

  Hou Jia looked better now.

   "Xiaoyaohou is a temperamental woman. She is different from the ordinary one on the battlefield. She is not so fierce and terrifying."

   "And in terms of appearance, although Xiaoyaohou is a little different from the ladies of today, he is still a stunning beauty."
