Chapter 33 Rumors

In March of spring, the crowning ceremony of the fourth prince became more and more lively with his arrival. The civil servants and generals of the previous dynasty, and the guests who were honored to be the crowning ceremony of the fourth prince, came to the imperial garden from the Qiande Palace of the former dynasty, and met with the queen’s daughter. The guests attended the banquet together to celebrate the fourth prince.

Men and women lined up on both sides, with the emperor and empress sitting at the top. The four princes sat close to His Majesty and sat alone. Behind him were many princes and princesses.

"Fourth brother, I heard that my father has given you a marriage to Miss Su. Why is it that you are not seeing Miss Su for such a big event today?"

The words of the second princess made everyone present pricked up their ears.

The emperor looked at his children with a smile, and the queen looked at the concerned expressions of everyone on the scene and took the initiative to ask.

"Ji Zhen, Miss Su wrote a letter a few days ago, didn't she say she would be here today? Was she delayed on the road?"

As she said that, the queen looked at her natal Mrs. Xu Guogong, who was sitting in front of her, and explained to everyone, "Miss Su is weak and went to Shu County to recuperate in the past two years."

Mrs. Xu Guogong has a rich and rosy face, her silver hair is neatly combed in a bun, and she wears a peacock with pearls on her head. She smiles before saying a word, making people look at her amiably.

At this time, she said cheerfully, "I have long wanted to meet the lady that His Majesty has chosen for the fourth prince, but I have never had the chance. Originally, I, an old woman, prepared a meeting gift, so I think I will save it today."

The old lady took out the bag of tips from her arms and said it jokingly, and everyone was happy to hear it.

Next to Mrs. Xu Guogong was the eldest Mrs. Qin Guogong. She was so happy that she stretched out her hand to reach the old sisters beside her, "You can't make people sit still. The daughter of the Su family is here, so it's hard to show up at this time." , to avoid being said to be trying to gain your favor."

Everyone was in a happy mood. The second princess, because she was His Majesty's eldest daughter and had been doted on since she was a child, pretended to be innocent and continued, "The fourth brother is the best among men, but Miss Su really made us curious, and she granted marriage to two She has not been seen in Kyoto for years, and she has not been seen during the Chinese New Year or the holidays. However, her fourth brother has always been fascinated by her. We don’t know what kind of beauty she is, which makes us more and more curious. "

The Ninth Prince said coolly to the side, "Miss Su spent several years in Kyoto two years ago. Maybe the second sister doesn't know. Many people present have met Miss Su, so the second sister is just curious."

The second princess has beautiful eyes and eyebrows, looks forward to Shenfei, and has a natural momentum. Naturally, she is not afraid of the hints from the ninth brother. She only looks at the fourth brother Qin Jing, "We are just curious. A few days ago, we heard that Miss Su can win the fourth brother's crown." Li, it looks like I’m going to be disappointed today.”

The second princess is the eldest daughter of the emperor. She has been favored by his majesty since she was a child and has always wanted to say whatever she wants. Today, she did not know what kind of stubbornness she committed. She only stared at Su Zijin, who was married to the fourth prince. She did not know that she was the only son of the fourth prince. The crowning in the Qiande Palace was still for the daughter of the Su family. Everyone just seemed to have not heard anything and kept talking to themselves. They did not dare to talk to each other easily. After all, the two princesses just changed the topic and were ignored by the second princess. They rashly interrupted. , I’m afraid I don’t know if I will be humiliated by the second young master in front of me. Even Mrs. Wuhou and Su Zijin’s mother, Mrs. Chang, can only pretend not to have heard the quarrel between the children of the Tian family and will not get involved at will. Why defend Su Zijin?

The heroine's dress was cumbersome. Su Zijin rode all the way. When he arrived at the palace, he naturally had to dress up again before he could appear in front of everyone. Otherwise, if his hair and face were unkempt and people questioned the Su family's family education, it would be better not to show up.

Now she and Aunt Lai appeared at the side of the Royal Garden Palace Banquet with the palace people. As soon as they approached the palace banquet, they heard someone loudly saying that if the fourth prince's fiancée did not show up, how could he still do it in front of the emperor, empress, and other high-ranking officials?

Su Zijin was envious of speaking with such confidence.

Aunt Lai glanced at Su Zijin. Su Zijin shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and asked the palace maid to come forward and report to the queen.

The palace maid didn't expect that she would be so lucky today. She actually led the noble daughter of the Su family who was the center of the topic, and reported the news one by one. The slightest movement also attracted everyone's attention.

The queen was stunned after hearing this. She didn't expect to say that Cao Cao, Cao Cao had really arrived. She looked around at everyone, her red lips slightly parted, "The second princess is curious about Su Zijin. Now that they have arrived, you can take a closer look later. Xuan."

Su Zijin comes forward."

The female officer called her name loudly, and Su Zijin walked directly to the emperor and empress despite everyone's gaze, "My servant is late, please forgive me, your majesty."

The emperor still looked like a majestic uncle. He looked at Su Zijin and chuckled, "My Ji Zhen has never been talked back to when someone came up to him. Su Zijin, you have to make it up to me."

Su Zijin glanced at Qin Jing, the fourth prince, and said, "Your Majesty is joking. As a prince, the fourth prince can get whatever he wants. How can he use the minister's daughter to compensate him?"

The exchange between the emperor and Su Zijin left everyone present confused. The daughter of the Su family had never had a significant presence in Kyoto. She had only been in Kyoto for two years before disappearing from the Kyoto social scene. No one present had a deep impression of her.

I only know that she has been recuperating in Shu County for the past two years. Everyone's impression of Su Zijin is that she is a sickly beauty. Unexpectedly, looking at Su Zijin today, she is thin but not sickly. She is tall and tall.

Standing on the field, her thin shoulders were straight, and she did not appear humble in front of His Majesty. Although her back was turned to everyone at this time, it made people feel that she was not weak as rumored, but rather upright and well-organized.

Especially when the fourth prince stood up from the silence just now and walked to stand next to Su Zijin. The mere sight of his back made people feel that they matched him inexplicably.

"Father, Su Zijin came on the road from Shu County at Starry Night. Please let her sit down first. We will talk to you later if you have anything to say."

The emperor waved his hand with a smile, and the queen also glanced at Qin Jing curiously because of these words. Qin Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he led Su Zijin straight to his desk.

"Is it appropriate for me to sit here?"

Qin Jing was sitting at the head of the emperor. As soon as Su Zijin took his seat, he sat directly at the head of everyone. She was standing in front of Qin Jing's desk, neither sitting nor standing.

The emperor looked over, glanced at his son first, and then waved his hand, "Sit down, Su Wu and I often sat together in the past and slept together. Today is Ji Zhen's crown ceremony and a family banquet, so it's not that big."

Behave yourself and sit down."

The emperor spoke, Qin Jing insisted, and Su Zijin sat down helplessly. As soon as he sat down, he felt his mother's vaguely cannibalistic gaze, so he had to smile flatteringly at his mother and avoid it.

The singing and dancing at the banquet continued, and the second princess watched helplessly as Su Zijin talked to his father as if they were familiar with each other, and then sat next to Qin Jing. After much patience, she still couldn't help but say, "Miss Su is here, and she knows us too."
