It is a great joy for their father to be promoted. As their daughter and son-in-law, Su Tang and Xie Boting should congratulate them. It's okay if they don't know about it. If they know about it, they definitely can't go back empty-handed.
It was just too late to prepare gifts, so Su Tang asked Banxia to go back and get a bottle of fragrance she prepared.
After receiving the order, Banxia turned around and ran towards Jingmoxuan.
Xie Boting looked at Su Tang, "Who is this gift for, Madam?"
"My mother," Su Tang replied simply.
"..."
Xie Baiting held his head and said, "My father-in-law is the one who gets promoted."
Fortunately, his wife said he was a gift-giver, so she didn't hesitate to give in too much.
When her father-in-law was promoted, she gave a congratulatory gift to her mother-in-law.
Su Tang looked at Xie Boting, "Is there any problem?"
"......No."
Maybe this is how the Su family gives gifts.
Xie Boting thought.
It's just that as a daughter, Su Tang can do whatever she wants, but as a son-in-law, he can't.
When they arrived at the outer courtyard, Xie Boting asked Su Tang to wait for him at the gate, and he walked towards the prince's study.
Tianxiangyuan, inner room.
After the prince finished taking the medicine, the princess was helping him put on his brocade robe.
At this time, the window was knocked.
The prince said, "Come in."
The secret guard opened the window and ducked into the house.
The prince was adjusting his cuffs and asked, "What's the matter?"
The secret guard was silent and reported, "Mr. Su was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess wrote back to the palace to congratulate him and took a painting from your study as a congratulatory gift."
The prince's hands fixing his sleeves stopped, and his face turned dark. The princess' head hurt. What's going on with Ting'er lately? She always does things that make the prince angry and wants to be beaten. The princess said, "Why didn't you stop Ting'er?"
The princess thinks too highly of him.
It's amazing that he can stop the prince.
The secret guard glanced at the prince cautiously and said in a high voice, "The prince said that he was in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare a gift. I'll borrow it for you, and he will draw a picture and return it to the prince later."
Borrow and return, no problem.
The prince laughed. He looked at the princess and was about to speak. The princess asked the secret guard first, "Which famous artist's painting is Ting'er holding?"
The secret guard replied, "It's not a famous teacher, it's an autographed painting given by the late Duke Zhen to the old Duke before his death."
The princess was stunned and said, "Why don't you give me the painting of Duke Zhen as a gift to Mr. Su? I'm afraid I took the wrong one in a hurry, so go and get it back."
The secret guard turned to leave, but the prince said, "There's no need to chase him."
The princess looked at the prince, who said, "Your son is quite self-aware. If he paints one painting of Duke Zhen to compensate me, I can just turn a blind eye, but for other paintings, he can paint hundreds of them."
Not even a single frame."
"...Ting'er's paintings are not that bad," the princess protested.
The princess spoke softly, but the prince did not hear clearly and said, "What did you say?"
The princess said, "I still feel that this painting is not an appropriate gift. It was given to the old Duke by Zhen Guo Gong before his death, and it is not a masterpiece by a famous artist. It is not appropriate for Ting'er to give it to Master Su to congratulate him on his promotion."
