Chapter 5 Stop the wine for the little emperor

Hu Wei coughed and said shyly: "Choose, choose a son-in-law?"

Su Liu reached out and covered Hu Wei's mouth and said, "Don't yell so loudly."

Xiao Yi sneered. Two days ago, Su Jingyan was talking about raising a good reputation, but now she's here to choose a son-in-law. Watching the battle, she can catch up with the palace to choose a concubine.

Hu Wei was extremely shy and said: "Actually, your aunt is quite good-looking. If, if, I can marry her, that would be great too."

Hu Wei met Su Jingyan at the gate of Luoyang City a few days ago. She was much prettier than the average lady.

What's more important is that if he marries Su Jingyan, he can let Su Liu call him uncle. This advantage will be in vain.

Su Liu: "You are dreaming, I will not call you uncle."

While the three of them were talking, a spacious four-horse carriage came slowly. Su Jingyan was the only one who dared to use a four-horse carriage in the capital.

The two beautiful maids sitting in front of the carriage slowly opened the gauze curtain.

Yingchun and Liaodong helped Su Jingyan get out of the carriage.

The three people at the door looked at the woman who got out of the car. They saw Su Jingyan wearing a green brocade, which made her look fairer.

Everyone was used to seeing Su Jingyan wearing flamboyant red. It was the first time they saw her wearing such a pure color, and they never thought that it would make her appearance more refined.

Seeing Xiao Yi, Su Jingyan was stunned, stepped forward and saluted, "See your Majesty."

Su Liu stepped forward and saluted: "Aunt, this is my good friend Hu Wei. Hu Wei, this is my aunt."

Seeing that Hu Wei's eyes were straightened, Su Liu bumped Hu Wei's back with his elbow.

Hu Wei hurriedly withdrew his eyes and saluted, "Aunt... No, Xiaosheng has met Miss Su."

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "You and Liu'er are classmates, so it's okay to call me aunt."

Hu Wei also laughed and said: "How can it be possible? Miss Su looks like she is two years younger than me. She is just as good as sister. I really can't say aunt."

Su Liu deeply despised Hu Wei and said to Xiao Yi and Su Jing: "Your Majesty, Auntie, everyone inside is here, let's go in."

When everyone saw His Majesty and Su Jingyan coming, they were all stunned. They could understand that His Majesty came, but why did Su Jingyan also come after he had just broken off their engagement?

Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you go out to a dinner just after breaking up your engagement?

After breaking off the engagement, it would be difficult for Su Jingyan to remarry to a good family. After all, which young man from the Hou family would be willing to marry a woman whose engagement was broken off in public, regardless of past grudges?

Although the invited teenagers laughed at Su Jingyan in their hearts, because Su Jingyan was really beautiful, they all looked at Su Jingyan frequently, thinking that if she had a lower status, it would be good to marry her home as a concubine.

The wine cup was placed in a small wooden boat and flowed down the stream. Anyone who placed it in front of him would compose a poem and drink the wine in the cup. If he could not compose a poem, he would have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty.

After five consecutive poems, this time the small wooden boat stopped in front of Su Liu.

Su Liu composed a poem casually, and was about to pick up the wine cup in front of him to drink, but Su Jingyan snatched the glass away, "Children are not allowed to drink."

Su Liu: "..."

Su Jing said: "I'm sorry everyone, Liu'er is too young to drink. Today I will drink for Liu'er."

After Su Jingyan finished all the wine in the glass, Hu Wei said: "Miss Su has a good capacity for drinking, so I would like to offer a glass of wine to Miss Su."

Su Jingyan smiled and gave Hu Wei a glass of wine in return.

Then three more small wooden boats passed by, and then the small wooden boat stopped in front of Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi wrote a poem based on this scene, and then he picked up a glass of wine, and as soon as he touched his lips, there was a boat painted with Dankou.

The catkins took away his wine.

Su Jingyan took the wine glass that she had snatched away. She didn't notice that Xiao Yi had just touched the wine glass with her thin lips, and drank all the wine in the glass, saying, "I told you that children are not allowed to drink, so I drank for you."

Xiao Yi frowned slightly when the wine glass was taken away, and when he saw Su Jingyan downing the glass of wine that he had touched with his lips in one gulp, the back of his ears felt slightly hot and red.

Su Liu pulled Su Jingyan's sleeve and said softly: "Aunt, your Majesty is not young anymore. Among these gentlemen today, your Majesty and I are considered older. Look at those gentlemen who are only fourteen or fifteen years old."

They’re all drunk.”

Su Jingyan looked at the boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old across from him, but she really couldn't show any interest in choosing a son-in-law, and said: "Forget it, everyone has drunk a lot of wine, why not play with paper kites to dispel the alcohol."

Children shouldn't drink alcohol and should play things that children should play.

The young people looked at each other when they heard flying paper kites. They are not children, nor are they the girls who like to play with paper kites to pray for blessings. Why are a group of grown men playing with flying paper kites?

Su Liu did not dare to disobey his aunt, so he said: "Then let's put the kites. The open space in the back of the mountain is a good place to put the kites."

In the back mountain, there are already many young ladies enjoying their spring outings. Princess Roujia is hosting a banquet here today. Princess Roujia and the Regent are two siblings from the same mother.

The banquet held by Princess Roujia today was entrusted by the regent to introduce Qingdai to the daughters and wives of the Duke Hou Men in Luoyang City.

After Li Yan returned home a few days ago, she was scolded by her father and grounded for several days. She was able to go out after receiving an invitation from Princess Roujia.

It was only when she came to this banquet today that she learned the good news that Su Jingyan's engagement was broken off. Li Yan said to her best friend: "Su Jingyan is really retribution. She is so arrogant on weekdays, but now she has really become a joke in Luoyang City.

Already."

Li Yan originally thought that everyone would laugh at Su Jingyan with her, but the rich people all took up the grievances on Su Jingyan's behalf.

"Li Yan, how can you laugh at Su Jingyan's jokes like those other aunts and wives? The person who deserves to be the joke is the Regent."

"That is, although Su Jingyan is usually domineering and willful, she has never used her power to bully others. She has waited for the prince for three years. How many years can a woman be like? The regent is really ruthless and unjust."

"Yes, although that Qingdai's appearance can be considered a beauty, she is much worse than Su Jingyan. The regent is really blind."

Although all the ladies did not like Su Jingyan's domineering behavior in the past, they did not want to laugh at Su Jingyan in this matter. They were both women, so they could only feel sorry for Su Jingyan when this happened.

Li Yan never thought that her friends would speak for Su Jingyan, and she immediately said angrily: "The regent is back, how long can Duke Xuan's government be so arrogant? You are here to speak for Su Jingyan, and Su Jingyan will not accept your favor."

Li Yan walked up to Princess Roujia and Xiao Ting and flattered her: "Miss Qingdai is so beautiful. This green dress is the most attractive. Miss Qingdai can be so beautiful wearing all green."

The ladies and daughters surrounding Princess Roujia thought about Xiao Ting's face and also praised Qingdai's beauty.

Hearing the chatter of some young people coming from the hillside, Princess Roujia and others followed the sound and saw more than ten young people walking around the woman in green clothes in the middle. They all held paper kites in their hands.

Su Jingyan brought a group of "big children" to the back hill to release paper kites. Unexpectedly, someone was already here. Su Liu said in Su Jingyan's ear: "Auntie, it seems that the eldest princess Roujia and the regent are over there."

Su Jingyan knew that the eldest princess Roujia was Xiao Ting's biological sister, but she was not polite enough to greet her. She said to the young people, "Let's put the kite here."

Although the teenagers despised paper kites as being a toy for children and girls, when they started playing they became more competitive than anyone else, and one after another they wanted to fly higher.

Hu Wei walked up to Su Jingyan and said, "Miss Su, can we fly the kites together?"

Su Jingyan smiled at Hu Wei and said, "Okay."

Not far away, Xiao Ting looked at Su Jingyan. The green clothes were really attractive.

Rou Jia followed Xiao Ting's gaze and said to Xiao Ting in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "The person who put the kites with Su Jingyan is your majesty's companion. He is the grandson of Taifu Hu. If the Su and Hu families get married, what will happen to him?"

You are not strong enough!

Alas, actually you shouldn't break off the engagement. If you marry Su Jingyan, the Duke of Xuan will definitely help you.

Moreover, Su Jingyan’s appearance, temperament and talents are among the best among women, and she is more suitable to be the regent princess than Qingdai, a woman from a small border town."
