Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 2247: Consort Su Li Creates Problems

What a tremendous humiliation! This was utterly disgraceful!

They were ambitious, rebellious, and showed complete disregard for the Emperor. What was the point of sparing them? They should storm into Huaixi province, seize them in front of the Emperor, and administer severe punishment. Let the entire world witness the consequences of their arrogance…

Let everyone see what fate befalls those who dare disrespect the Emperor!

Upon hearing Consort Su’s impassioned words, the Third Prince’s face drained of color, his rage boiling over. He was seething with fury!

He felt deeply ashamed!

Consort Su’s words stung like a slap to his face.

As an Emperor, he felt utterly inept.

“This is outrageous! Utterly outrageous!” he exclaimed.

“They deserve death!” Consort Su declared vehemently. “I want Qiao Xuan to kneel before me, begging for mercy. She will be my servant, and I will ensure she suffers for her insolence!”

She had concocted no less than one hundred and eight ways to humiliate and torment Qiao Xuan, each thought bringing her great satisfaction.

Everything was in order now, except for Qiao Xuan.

“The Emperor has shown such magnanimity and bestowed great favor upon Shao Yunduan, yet this is how he repays you. He is utterly heartless!”

“Your Majesty, please do not pardon those two wretches, or it will be a mockery!”

“Of course we cannot let him off!” The Third Prince declared with venom, “He has no regard for me. He must pay the price!”

He was keen on recruiting Shao Yunduan. Firstly, for his talent, and secondly, to outshine his second brother—proof of his superiority.

As for Huaixi province, he held little concern.

He wasn’t petty; his vision extended beyond narrow horizons to encompass the entire world.

A gleam of ruthlessness and satisfaction flickered in Consort Su’s eyes. She smiled radiantly at the Third Prince and urged, “Then what are we waiting for? Let my father, uncles, and brothers march on Huaixi at once!”

The Third Prince hesitated, furrowing his brow. “This is a weighty decision. We must not act rashly. I will confer with the ministers. My beloved consort, be patient. Your vengeance will come in due time.”

Consort Su gratefully thanked him, “Yes, I am deeply grateful for your kindness!”

She was confident the ministers would support her cause. After all, the Emperor had been grievously insulted. What more were they waiting for?

What significance did tiny Huaixi hold?

Revenge was imminent.

With a flirtatious glance at the Third Prince, Consort Su’s hands grew mischievous as she boldly drew closer. “Your Majesty, you are so good to me. I am at your service…”

This temptress!

The fire in the Third Prince’s heart blazed hotter. His thoughts churned as he embraced Consort Su tightly and they moved to a secluded corner…

After Consort Su’s passionate attentions, the Third Prince felt somewhat relieved and less enraged.

Yet, he still needed to settle the score.

How could he endure such humiliation?

However, following discussions with the ministers, most were against immediate military action.

What about the spring plowing season?

Jiangnan was crucial for grain and silk production, and spring was the pinnacle season. Nothing could supersede the importance of spring plowing.

Otherwise, if the harvest suffered, it would undoubtedly lead to significant repercussions!

It would be prudent to proceed cautiously and prepare for war. Waiting until the latter half of the year would be preferable.
