Outside the palace.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is in an underground secret passage.
Su Jin'er sorted out the large waterproof backpack she took from the room, taking out the items one by one and sorting them into categories.
"Well, the food will expire, so I need to get rid of it quickly... The clothes are too weird and can't be worn here, but you can have underwear. I really can't get used to wearing bellybands... and this..."
After she finished organizing, she divided the two sets of underwear, toiletries, medicine box, and a pile of food into several piles and put them away.
Carrying a lighter with you is much more convenient than using a lighter. Consumable items such as notebooks are no longer needed. The camera has run out of power and is probably not wanted by anyone who sells it for scrap. It can only be kept as a souvenir.
In the end, only a telescope, a solar lighting lamp, an anti-wolf electric baton, a military green leather kettle and an iron rice box were left, all of which were useful and durable items.
Su Jin'er thought for a while and carefully put a few things into a secret wooden shelf. When she touched the telescope, she hesitated and did not put it away together. Instead, she brought a bunch of consumables with her.
go out.
As soon as she packed her luggage, Prime Minister Su came over.
"Sir, you have some tea." A Yuan responded quickly and served the hot tea, then withdrew.
Su Lin casually put the tea cup on the table. Seeing that she brought very few things, only one box, she couldn't help but said with concern: "Jin'er, it won't be a day or two for you to move into Yuwen Mansion. Your mother is going to the temple."
I went to pray to Buddha, but I couldn't take care of it for you, and you refused to let the servants help. After all, the General's Mansion is not your own house. You have all the things you need. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to go into the palace if you don't need anything when you need it.
Have you used up the money I gave you before? If you don’t have enough money, just take it from dad’s place.”
Su Jin'er's eyes narrowed slightly: "Dad, don't worry, Jin'er will take care of you. Mother worships Buddha sincerely. It's not a big deal, so don't bother me."
Prime Minister Su had a sullen face and was very unhappy with Mrs. Qiao: "So is your mother. You are moving to the General's Mansion tomorrow. Time is so tight. It's really shameful to pick a bad day to go out at this time."
As he spoke, he glanced at his little daughter, and saw that she was not as stubborn as before, but rather more sensible. She nodded with a little satisfaction, and explained her purpose with a straight look: "Jin'er, we are here tomorrow night.
Dad has prepared gifts for the canonization banquet. When the time comes, all the officials will bring their families to the banquet, so you can go with dad."
Su Jin'er had this plan and agreed without any objection. She asked curiously: "It's just a banquet, why do we need to send gifts? There are banquets in the palace from time to time. Don't the ministers have to hand over gifts?
Already?"
"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Su couldn't laugh or cry, and explained to her: "The monthly salary paid by the imperial court to officials is not much. If you give gifts every time, you won't have so much money to throw in. Generally, banquets are not needed, only special and important ones are needed.
Gifts will only be given on festivals. The emperor canonized the four concubines and made your sister the imperial concubine. Although it is not a formal wedding like marrying the queen, the concubines granted this time are all genuine, and tomorrow night can also be regarded as the emperor's.
It's the wedding night, and of course all the officials are going to send gifts and congratulations. The other one is the Queen Mother's birthday in one month. Then not only all the officials will gather, but also envoys from several countries will come to congratulate, which will make it even more lively."
Wedding night?
As if her heart had been beaten hard, Su Jin'er suddenly raised her eyes and murmured in a daze: "So that's how it is... Then you really should congratulate the emperor."
Su Lin was someone who had been here before. Seeing her reaction, he couldn't help but frown and remind: "Jin'er, it's not that daddy is talking about you. You have an engagement with General Yuwen, and you are the female official next to the emperor. Countless pairs of eyes are watching you. Even if you don't
I'm happy, at least... take care of the face of the prime minister's office and the general's office, and don't show your temper in public tomorrow night and embarrass dad and the old general."
Su Jin'er came back to her senses slowly and said with a surprised smile: "Dad, what are you talking about? Why should I be unhappy on the emperor's happy day? It's too late for Jin'er to be happy."
Prime Minister Su glanced at her suspiciously, but didn't see anything. He had to stop trying to persuade her and said: "It's best if you don't. The carriage from the General's Mansion to pick up people will come tomorrow morning. You have a good rest tonight and I'll take care of Ah by then."
If you take that girl Yuan with you, you can have more people taking care of you."
Miss Su Er used to be lawless and get into trouble constantly. She spent most of her time under the scolding of Su Lin, her father. Suddenly, he was concerned about this daughter who rarely interfered. She was not used to it. After explaining everything, he added a few words.
If it doesn't matter, just leave directly.
"Miss, are you... okay...?"
Seeing the young lady's face darkening little by little as soon as the master left, A Yuan asked cautiously while holding the teapot, her big eyes full of worry and anxiety.
It's over, it's over, what she guessed before was indeed correct, the young lady must have fallen in love with the emperor, but how sad it must be for the young lady to watch the emperor marry more than one concubine with her own eyes.
The person sitting by the bed didn't say a word. Hua Yuan couldn't help but call out again: "Miss?"
Su Jin'er had a straight face and distractedly turned away the hand that was poking at her. "Don't make any noise, your lady, I'm thinking about life."
Thinking about life? It sounds so profound. A Yuan blinked in confusion, rubbed his head in confusion and stood aside to act as a backdrop.
Su Jin'er's fingertips tapped the edge of the mahogany bed, expressionlessly sorting out the source of her upset——
Xiao Li.
Seriously speaking, Su Jin'er never believed in love at first sight. There is a saying that love at first sight is about the face, not the love.
So when did she start having feelings for Xiao Li?
Perhaps it was at the beginning, when he asked her to call him by his name, but she refused to enter the palace, and he lost his temper unreasonably.
Maybe it was when he held her in his arms, loving and loving her.
Perhaps it was when she revealed to the public that she had someone she liked, and his eyes were locked on hers.
Perhaps she was worried when she saw him injured and finally turned back.
K--
I accidentally discovered that this bad-tempered man can also be gentle, and I want him to apply this gentleness to me.
There are too many possibilities, too many details, and they are no longer entangled just because their fates are connected. Looking back on it, even Su Jin'er herself was shocked, and then she showed a helpless smile.
It turned out that without realizing it, she had been attracted to him so many times.
I have always told myself that love is a taboo, especially for someone with Xiao Li's status. You can't get involved with it, let alone be passionate about him.
But now, it is undeniable that she probably, seems, seems to really fall in love with him.
She, Su Jin'er, thought she had no heart and lungs for more than 20 years and could care less about anything except life and death. She never expected that she would fall into the hands of a man in the end.
And he is also a man who is destined to have a harem of three thousand——
The gloomy smell beside the bed made A Yuan's little face turn as white as a piece of paper, and she felt like crying. Seeing the gloomy atmosphere getting heavier and heavier, she hurriedly said with a trembling voice: "Little... miss...
...What's wrong with you? If you have anything on your mind, you can tell A Yuan...Don't scare me!"
"What can I have on my mind? Ah Yuan, go find me a brocade box."
As if she had decided something, Su Jin'er slapped the bed board and stood up with a cold expression on her face. Her whole body was invisibly burning with raging fire.
She has sorted out her thoughts. She likes to face things directly and fight for them. Escape is not her style.
Thinking of the canonization banquet tomorrow night, Su Jin'er's eyes twitched. Fortunately, she had tried to encourage Su Lingxue to enter the palace in order to take into account the overall situation. She had really cheated herself.
It was not easy to find out that she could fall in love with someone, and it was rare that she even thought about it. If someone caught her in her mouth - Damn, don't even think about it! Su Jin'er thought murderously, and then she realized that this guy Xiao Li was not only
Not only can she eat it, but there are others who covet the meat in her pot!
Not only the imperial concubine, but also the fourth concubine, and n women in the harem...
Damn it, she has too many love rivals!
Suppressing the urge to run away, Su Jin'er's temples were pounding. Women in the harem are not cheap. Su Lingxue wanted to trample her under her feet. The four concubines all had rich backgrounds and had good backgrounds. Ye Yurong was unruly and aggressive at the beginning.
She was already hostile to her, and Lin Luochen's lackluster behavior could not be ignored. Well, she could already predict that the coming days would become more and more exciting.
A Yuan's legs moved very fast, and after a while she took a brocade box from the warehouse and said, "Miss, take a look, does this work?"
The brocade box is not big, and is made of sandalwood wood. There is a layer of smooth red silk inside, and a soft cloth is padded under the silk. The outside of the box is covered with a layer of red and yellow hollow carvings, and is evenly painted with embellishments.
Gold powder, extraordinarily gorgeous and fine workmanship.
"Not bad, not bad." Su Jin'er tried to put the telescope in, and the size was just right. She nodded with satisfaction, peeled off a piece of candy and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth as a reward, while adjusting the focus of the telescope.
Suddenly something hard was stuffed into her body. A-Yuan's mouth opened wide. She was so frightened that she thought that her young lady might have lost her mind and wanted to drag her along to be buried with her. She didn't dare to close her mouth, let alone
Swallowed an unknown object.
Yingying, miss, you can't do this. How can you explain it to the emperor before he even gets it? Besides, she still wants to live for a few more years!
Hey, why is it sweet?
When her tongue rolled up a little bit of the taste, Hua Yuan's face was slightly surprised. She tried to taste it, and was surprised to find that the hard thing in her mouth exuded a sweet taste and a strong fruity aroma.
Is this candy? Why has she never eaten it? It’s so... so delicious!
The little girl tasted the sweetness and couldn't help but put it in her mouth and started chewing it. She stood aside and watched her lady holding a beautiful piece with two green tubes and playing with it in her hands. She opened her eyes wide and said: "
