Since being summoned to the palace by the Queen that day, Su Luo had always thought that the Queen was going to call her to the palace again because of Concubine Zhen's matter. However, after a few days, she did not receive the summons from the Queen, but instead received a message from the Queen Mother.
Yunxia County mainly holds flower appreciation banquets in the palace.
Xiao Yu went to Jinnan Pier for business and was not in Kyoto, so the eldest princess and Su Luo entered the palace together.
Su Luo's dress today was specially customized by the eldest princess. The light red color is both bright and unobtrusive. It is paired with a set of Jin Yuxuan's latest style of coral hair and face...
Not to mention that Xiaoyu is no match for beauty, the eldest princess feels that she also wants to take a few more glances.
Su Luo is really good-looking. She is not the kind of beauty that is clear and watery, but has a beauty that is generous and charming at the same time. Everything is just right.
Holding Su Luo's hand, the eldest princess spoke to her kindly in the carriage, "Has Yu'er told you about Concubine Zhen at the Zhenning Marquis Mansion?"
At that time, Zou He offered a bargaining chip in prison.
Wanting Xiao Yu to keep him alive, he told Xiao Yu a secret about Zhenning Hou Mansion.
On the same day, when Xiao Yu and Marquis Zhenning were fighting each other in the royal study, Marquis Zhenning's followers secretly led people to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to kill Zou He and silence him.
At that time, Marquis Zhenning thought that as long as he silenced Zou He, everything would be over...
However, Xiao Yu asked the Minister of Punishment to impersonate Zou He with a condemned prisoner in advance. The people of Zhenninghou thought they had killed Zou He and silenced him, but in fact Xiao Yu had already transferred the real Zou He.
When they arrived at a safe place, Zou He told the secret.
He didn't know much, he only knew that Concubine Zhen seemed to have been pregnant before she entered the palace, but she didn't seem to have aborted the pregnancy, and instead bribed the nuns in the palace to get through.
Su Luo nodded, the tassels in her hair dangled lightly, "Your Majesty told me, your Majesty told me that if the Queen asks, she should be vague, and if others mention it, just pretend they don't know. The Queen must have the Queen's plan. We have to
Observe carefully and don’t act rashly.”
The eldest princess smiled and said: "That's right. When you enter the palace today, it is inevitable that the Queen and Concubine Zhen will have to talk to you. I will try my best to accompany you, but things in the palace are so complicated that I may not be able to talk to you all the time.
You can take care of them all, but fortunately Yu'er won the status of the princess for you. This status will still be useful until you and Yu'er get married."
Although there were rumors everywhere that Su Luo was going to marry Xiao Yu.
But if there is no official matchmaker to marry her, she will no longer be the serious Princess of Nanhuai. She will be just an ordinary commoner. With such an identity, not only will she be disadvantaged when entering the palace, but she will also meet the female relatives of any high-ranking family in the public.
Even if she was blamed, she would also suffer.
That's why Xiao Yu tried so hard to win a title of princess for Su Luo, just to give her a higher status.
When the eldest princess talked about this, Su Luo couldn't help but think of Xiao Yu's words asking her to take the initiative that night. Her heart beat faster and she nodded with her ears burning.
When their carriage arrived at the palace gate, there were already many cars parked outside the palace gate, all occupied by the female relatives who came to attend the flower-viewing banquet.
The eldest princess saw at a glance the carriage of the Zhenning Marquis Mansion inside. When she led Su Luo into the palace, she lowered her voice and told her, "The things in the palace are complicated. It's okay for me to be here. If I'm not here for a while, don't just take what others give you."
Don’t change your clothes if your clothes get wet accidentally, you know?”
After saying that, the eldest princess smiled jokingly and said, "There is almost an iron rule in the palace. Something will happen at every palace banquet. It's better to be careful."
Su Luo nodded seriously, "I understand."
The eldest princess paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "As for Princess Yunxia, maybe Yu'er didn't say anything more to you, so I'll say it for him.
Princess Yunxia and Yu'er grew up together when they were young. Before they were about seven or eight years old, they always played together. Later, when Yu'er got older, she enrolled in a kung fu school and didn't have much time to go to the palace, so she played together less.
But there is always a feeling of affection.
Just because of this affection, Yu'er previously only regarded her as a younger sister and had no other thoughts.
Yunxia, on the other hand, likes Yu'er very much. The Queen Mother has told me several times openly and secretly that she wants Yunxia to marry Yu'er. Yu'er knows this, but he doesn't want to. He just wants to marry the one he likes.
.
I'm telling you this for no other reason than to remind you that if someone makes trouble in front of you, don't take it personally. If you are really angry, go back to Yu'er to vent your anger and let him coax you. But don't worry about people who have bad intentions.
Dao'er, we are separated from Yu'er."
The eldest princess’s words were truly heartfelt.
Isn't Su Luo a person who doesn't know what is good and what is evil?
She knew that Xiao Yu was good to her, and said to the eldest princess with a half-red face: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know that the prince is good to me."
The two of them talked all the way to the Queen Mother's palace.
Yunxia did not have her own separate courtyard in the palace, and always lived with the Queen Mother, so the flower-viewing banquet was held in the Queen Mother's palace.
The spring was bright and the flowers were in full bloom. When they entered, there was already a lot of talking and laughing inside.
At a quick glance, almost all the female relatives of prestigious families in Kyoto were there. Several favored concubines also came with the princess on their knees. It was very lively.
The Queen Mother was sitting in the main seat surrounded by the Queen and several princesses. She was chatting and joking when she saw the eldest princess coming in with Su Luo. She changed the topic and looked at them, "Look who is late."
All the warblers and swallows in the yard looked towards them.
The eldest princess held Su Luo's hand and stepped forward to say hello, "My son, please send your regards to your mother. May your mother be blessed with peace and happiness."
Su Luo followed the eldest princess and followed her example, greeting the Queen Mother and the other two concubines beside her.
"It's our first time Luo Luo has entered the palace for a banquet. We are extremely nervous." The eldest princess glanced at Su Luo with a smile and said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, please give us Luo Luo a reward to calm down the child. We are so nervous all the way."
It's time for Yu'er to feel distressed when we go back. He wants to make trouble with me again, blaming me for not taking good care of his princess."
The others hadn't said a word yet, so the eldest princess made her words clear first.
Su Luo is the person that both she and Xiao Yu hold dear to their hearts. If you have any unreasonable thoughts, think about it first.
As soon as he said this, as expected, many female relatives in the audience exchanged glances with each other.
The Queen Mother glanced at the eldest princess, her beloved daughter Mo Ruomu, and said with half annoyance and half smile: "You have to say it."
Look at Su Luo.
"Good boy, come forward and let Aijia take a look.
Yu'er's marriages in recent years have troubled the Ai family. Seeing that other people's brothers, sixteen or seventeen, have both children, Yu'er, a man in his twenties, still has no movement at all, so it's not to his liking.
Now I have found the one that suits my heart, and she is indeed an iconic beauty."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother took off a white jade bracelet she had worn for many years from her wrist.
Yun Xia stood nearby, seeing that the Queen Mother was about to give this bracelet to Su Luo, and her face suddenly changed.
