Chapter 71: Disaster Refugees Become RebelsChapter 1116: Squirrel-Flavored Mandarin Fish

Inside the imperial carriage, Su Jinpa was very pleased.

She never thought she'd have another chance to go back, but she didn't expect Li Chen to be so considerate...

And with that, Su Jinping's gaze toward Li Chen held a touch more of watery tenderness.

Li Chen took Su Jin's misunderstanding as a kindness and accepted it despite his embarrassment.

If it weren't for Chen Tong reporting on something today, he really wouldn't have thought about bringing Su Jinpa back to his family home.

"Aren't you here on business with your father" Su Jinping suddenly asked.

Li Chen's expression stiffened.

You shouldn't marry someone too intelligent, because they can't keep any secrets.

"No."

The prince directly denied it, activating his exclusive skill as a man - lying with his eyes wide open.

Su Jinpa had originally just asked casually, but seeing Li Chen's reaction, she became suspicious.

"If I needed your father for something, I'd just summon him to the East Palace, wouldn't I"

Li Chen gave a fake smile.

This explanation was perfect, but Su Jinping always felt something was off.

Although there is no evidence, Su Jinpa also independently understood the first important realization of a woman after marriage: a man's mouth, a liar.

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the General's Mansion.

Su Zhen Ting, who had received the news in advance, was already waiting.

"I, Su Zhen'ting, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Seeing Su Zhen Ting about to bow, he got off the carriage. As Li Chen casually helped Su Jin Pa down from the carriage, he said, "No need for formalities. Today is about bringing the bride back to her parents' home. You are the father-in-law, and I am the son-in-law, there isn't a need for so much ceremony."

Su Zhendong had a smile on his face, but he said, “Rules are rules.”

Su Jinpa was led down from the carriage by Li Chen. After all, she was still somewhat reserved in front of Su Zhenting, so she quietly withdrew her hand from Li Chen's grasp and addressed Su Zhenting, "Father."

Su Zhen Ting's lips twitched, but he quickly said: "Your Highness the Crown Princess, you should address me by my name or position, otherwise it would be disrespectful."

Su Jinpa was unwilling and said, "Even Your Highness said that we are returning today to visit our family without being too particular about etiquette. Father doesn't even listen to Your Highness, so he is just blindly following the rules"

This left Su Zhenting speechless.

Li Chen, however, burst into laughter.

After a brief conversation, the family walked towards their house.

Li Chen was in the front, Su Jinpa slightly behind him on his left, while Su Zhetong lagged two steps behind, following Li Chen on his right.

After having dinner, Li Chen purposely gave Su Zhen and Su Jinpa some time to chat together as a father and daughter.

After all, such opportunities will only become less and less common in the future.

After the two of them finished talking, Su Zhen Ting very consciously came to Li Chen's side.

"Your Highness," Su Zhenting bowed.

He wasn't Su Jinpa. The moment he learned Li Chen had brought Su Jinpa with him, he knew Li Chen probably had something important to tell him.

Nodding, Li Chen said, "Go to the study."

Two people came to the study, and Li Chen directly sat down in the main seat.

This meant that at this time he was not Su Zhen'ting's son-in-law, but the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire.

Su Zhen Ting stood before the desk, waiting for Li Chen to give his opening remarks.

Li Chen casually picked up a book of military tactics from the table and flipped through it, saying calmly, "There was a pretty good dish of squirrel mandarin fish at dinner just now."

Su Zhen Ting was stunned for a moment, then replied, "If Your Highness likes it, I will have the kitchen cook in my mansion go to the East Palace and make this dish for you."

Li Chen smiled and put down the military book, saying: "There are many cooks, and the East Palace is not short of them either. But this kind of mandarin fish distributed along the Yangtze River is hard to find in the capital, isn't it"set him off.He roared angrily, "Even if I'm a complete failure, I'm still his blood, his son. My blood runs with the Zhao family's. I'm here to carry on their legacy, and this is how he treats me""Ev...
