Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 42: Daddy smiles, life and death are unpredictable

It turns out that this boy was not decadent at all, but was thinking about military service reform.

No matter what the content is, the fact that there are so many pages shows that a lot of effort has been put into it.

He really wanted to take a closer look at what the six strategies were.

Prince Huaiyang picked up the first page and looked at it carefully. The more he read, the more surprised he looked. At the end, he actually showed a smile of relief and appreciation.

Xiao Yanan hurried in, feeling a little nervous.

He went out in a rage today, without changing his clothes, his beard had grown a little, and he reeked of alcohol, looking decadent and dejected.

If Xiao Yan'an hadn't seen the Six Strategies of Military Service, he would have been beaten with a stick if he appeared in front of King Huaiyang like this.

Now Prince Huaiyang likes Xiao Yan'an more and more.

There was even a hint of kindness in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yan'an.

In his eyes, Xiao Yanan's embarrassment was caused by the exhaustion of thinking about strategies all night.

"Your son greets you, father." Xiao Yan'an felt uneasy. It would be better if his father had always been strict with him. This smile made him feel that his life and death were unpredictable.

"No need to formality, come and sit down and talk to your father about how you came up with these six strategies for military service." Prince Huaiyang sat down in the main seat at the side in a amiable manner.

"Father, what do you think of these six military service strategies?" Xiao Yan'an was cautious and wanted to test his father's reaction first.

"As of now, the contents of these six military service policies are most in line with Huaiyang's current actual situation. Each policy has been implemented and the key points have been pointed out. After finding a solution, a series of follow-up issues can be considered. Not only is it related to military service reform, but agricultural issues can also be improved accordingly. The foundation for the people to live and work in peace and contentment is to fill their stomachs. Everything else is just empty talk."

"If we can really implement it as described above, we can definitely create a brand new situation in Huaiyang, and even change the poor lives of the people in Huaiyang."

Xiao Yanan was stunned!

He walked quickly to the table, took the six military service strategies in his hand, and looked at them again.

Isn't this just Ji Chuhe's armchair talk, written casually?

"An'er, I'm very pleased that you can think of such a strategy. Before, I didn't know you very well." Prince Huaiyang stood up and patted Xiao Yan'an on the shoulder.

Xiao Yan'an was flattered and trembling with fear.

Just at this time, the princess brought Ji Chuhe into the house.

I thought it was going to be a chaotic family punishment, but I didn't expect it to be a scene of a loving father and a filial son!

"He'er, am I dazzled?" The princess couldn't believe it. She turned around and walked out, then came back in.

It's still the same scene.

Ji Chuhe: ...

"Princess, come and see, these are the Six Strategies on Military Service written by An'er!" Prince Huaiyang presented the Six Strategies on Military Service to the princess as if he were presenting a treasure.

Ji Chuhe looked at Xiao Yan'an and winked at him.

Xiao Yanan frowned.

Ji Chuhe wanted him to admit it.

Ji Chuhe herself didn't want to be in the spotlight, so it was not a loss for her to give the credit to Xiao Yan'an.

Besides, with her around, Xiao Yanan can talk to her at any time if he encounters any problems, and there will be no risk of being caught.

In his previous life, when Shen Chengjing read these six strategies for military service, his eyes were full of calculations.

He racked his brains to claim it as his own, and even pretended to modify a few wordings so that it could be legitimately regarded as his plan.

"Father, Mother, these six military service strategies were not my idea, nor were they written by me." Xiao Yan'an was unwilling to do such a thing as claiming credit for someone else's work.

Prince Huaiyang's face froze, his hands trembled slightly, and he suppressed his anger and asked, "Who wrote these six military service policies?"

"It was written by Ji Chuhe. She wrote it all by herself. These were all her thoughts. I did not participate in a single word of it."

What an honest and good boy.

The princess really couldn't think of any other words of praise.

"Your Highness, it's obvious that this calligraphy is not his. You don't know your son well enough. How could he write such beautiful calligraphy?" The princess rolled her eyes at Prince Huaiyang.

Only then did Prince Huaiyang notice the problem with the handwriting.

He was so absorbed in the content that he actually forgot about this.

Prince Huaiyang closed his eyes and took a breath. His anger had reached its peak. "I take back all the compliments I just gave you!"

Xiao Yanan looked indifferent.

Just take it back. Anyway, I’m not really praising him.

"Xiao Yan'an! You took charge of the conscription but left without reason. You are lawless and will be punished according to military law!" Prince Huaiyang's voice immediately became stern.

Ji Chuhe secretly looked at the princess.

Military law should be stricter than family law, right?

Why isn’t the princess anxious at all and doesn’t plead for mercy?

The princess didn't come to beg for mercy, she came to see her son being beaten.

Xiao Yan'an was also a man of character. He took off his shirt, walked into the yard and knelt down.

"Hit him with thirty sticks, not one less!" Prince Huaiyang ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, the sound of execution was heard outside.

Ji Chuhe couldn't help but look outside the yard.

Tsk, what a cruel attack.

"He'er, come here." Prince Huaiyang's tone returned to being kind, and sounded even gentler than before.

Ji Chuhe withdrew his gaze and knelt down to salute King Huaiyang, "Father."

"You thought of all six strategies for military service?"

"Yes, it was all my daughter-in-law's idea."

"Women are as good as men!" King Huaiyang praised her generously. "He'er, your six military service policies have been used by your father. Your father will discuss this matter with the county governors immediately. If you have any questions, He'er will go with your father to answer them."

Ji Chuhe was stunned.

Is she going to make it public in Huaiyang that she was the one who proposed the six strategies for military service?

But, she is a woman.

Even if I don't offer suggestions in Xiao Yanan's name, I can't use her name.

"Father, my daughter-in-law is a woman, so please make this suggestion in the name of the Crown Prince."

"If I use his name, my father is afraid that such a good plan will be tarnished! Although He'er is a woman, she has such talent and should not be buried. Besides, there is no rule in Sihui Hall that women cannot offer advice."

Ji Chuhe's heart trembled violently.

I was also a little touched.

For the first time, she felt what it felt like to be respected, valued, and recognized.

"Your Highness, all the strategies Sihuitang has received so far are not as good as He'er's. If Sihuitang's strategy can be selected, He'er can get a government position. He'er cannot be an official, so does Your Highness have any other rewards?" the princess asked softly.

"Yes, of course, I will reward you handsomely!"

"That's good. I'd be the first to disagree if the reward is too little."

"How dare you, how dare you."

There was a more relaxed atmosphere between the prince and the princess.

Ever since Concubine Xu came to Huaiyang, a rift has arisen between the prince and the princess. Although the two have never had any disputes, they are no longer as harmonious as before.

I haven't seen such an atmosphere for a long time.

"Princess, look, my purse is torn. Can you help me mend it?" The prince took out an old purse.

This purse has been used for at least five years.

"This one is so old. I'll embroider another one for you." The princess took the purse and stroked the pattern on it with her fingertips, feeling deeply moved.

"Then shall I go to the princess to choose a pattern?" The prince took the opportunity to suggest.

"Okay." The princess did not refuse.

The two of them just left.

When passing by Xiao Yan'an, he didn't even glance at him.
