Chapter 82: The Emperor Wants to Fortify People in Chunwang Mansion
.
Seeing that Su Luoyan was rescued, Chen Xiaoyue also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was also at war between heaven and man. Although she was used to seeing killings on the battlefield, she was not an easy killer and would not hurt innocent people.
.
She pulled Zhu Ying up and said softly: "I knew you were not a person who would not save someone."
Zhu Ying rolled her eyes in her heart and said, "I don't want to really cause any deaths."
Chen Xiaoyue whispered: "Girl, don't keep thinking that this kind of thing won't happen if you leave the mansion. The prince wants you to stay in Shangshu's mansion for your own good. Even Nongzhu was hurt by others. If we really run into each other when we leave the mansion,
, I can’t guarantee that I can protect you. I have never seen the prince care so much about a person."
"Hey -" Zhu Ying sighed longly. After she said this, her heart felt warm, and her resentment towards Zhao Yu also flew away. "He just doesn't want to lose me as a chess piece!"
Chen Xiaoyue said: "Miss Zhu, why don't you understand the prince's thoughts?"
Zhu Ying said stubbornly: "Even you know that I am a chess piece, so you don't have any resentment towards me, right?"
Chen Xiaoyue shook her head helplessly and said, "Miss Zhu, why don't you believe it? Your Majesty is just repaying your kindness to me, and there is absolutely no possibility between me and your Majesty. We are too close, and both bear a blood feud. If we are together again, there will be no end."
The pain cannot bring happiness to the other person."
Zhu Ying didn't reply. She was confused and didn't know if Zhao Yu was sincere to her?
After Su Luomei confirmed that her sister was fine, she came to Zhu Ying and bowed before her, saying, "Thank you very much, sister, for saving your life."
Zhu Ying squeezed the water from her body and said, "It was me playing with her that made her fall into the water. What are you thanking me for?"
Su Luomei said: "It was sister Luoyan who hit her first, but she still saved her anyway, so she deserves to be worshiped by her."
Su Luomei was about to kowtow as she spoke, but Zhu Ying stopped her. She still admired Su Luomei. Even though she was a daughter of a wealthy woman, she had the air of a general. She handled things in a controlled manner, which made her irritating.
She looked at Su Luoyan. At this moment, Su Luoyan was frightened. She was crying and huddled in the maid's arms, not daring to speak.
Su Luomei ordered the maids to take Su Luoyan back to her yard, and Su Luotao immediately followed her.
Su Luomei said to Qiuyue: "The commotion just now must have alarmed the old lady and dad. You go and report to the old lady and dad that you are safe."
Qiuyue said, "Yes!"
Suddenly, Su Luomei, Zhu Ying and Chen Xiaoyue were the only ones left in the pavilion.
Su Luomei said: "Sister, please go back to the house and change clothes!"
Zhu Ying was about to leave when she saw Su Luohuan running over anxiously. She ran so fast that she staggered and almost fell.
Zhu Ying looked at his embarrassed appearance and asked funnyly: "Don't be so panicked, people have been rescued!"
This is the inner garden. Even Su Luohuan shouldn't have run in so rudely.
Chen Xiaoyue had already quietly stood in front of Zhu Ying, blocking her wet body.
Su Luohuan was bent over and panting heavily, and it took him a while to catch his breath. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Ying was dripping wet, her clothes were stuck to her body, and her curves were exposed.
He was shocked and turned around quickly.
Usually when a woman encounters this kind of thing, she would scream in surprise and leave in shame and anger, but Zhu Ying doesn't care.
She continued to ask with great interest: "Why are you here?"
Su Luomei saw that Zhu Ying was not shy, so she had to quietly stand beside Chen Xiaoyue and block Zhu Ying's body.
Su Luohuan said humbly: "I just heard from the maid that someone fell into the water, so Xiaosheng rushed here in a hurry. He forgot the rules and asked the sisters to forgive me. Xiaosheng will wait outside the hospital now, while sister Qinglian goes to freshen up first.
"
"Hey, mother-in-law, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly and don't make me jealous," Zhu Ying stopped him. She saw a big red invitation in his hand, "What are you holding in your hand?"
"This is an invitation from the Queen. In three days, a lotus appreciation party will be held in the Imperial Garden. I invited ()..co
.
All the ladies and gentlemen from the aristocratic families in Bian City are going to go."
Upon hearing the news, Zhu Ying's eyes lit up and she said, "So the young lady who came to Prime Minister Zhu's Mansion is also invited?"
Su Luoheng said: "Exactly!"
Zhu Ying had been looking for opportunities to leave the Chancellor's Mansion just to see Zhu Zixuan again. The masked guest was obviously heading for the Ice Silkworm Grass. She wanted to know if their Prime Minister's Mansion had anything to do with this matter? And if she could enter the palace.
Maybe she would have a chance to get what the master wanted. Too many things happened in the past few days, and she almost forgot what the master told her.
She couldn't wait to ask: "Can I go too?"
Su Luoheng said: "The invitation included a lady from Shangshu Mansion to attend, and of course my cousin was also invited."
Zhu Ying said excitedly: "Great, great!"
Chen Xiaoyue said: "Girl, do you want to go to the palace so much?"
Zhu Ying didn't want to arouse their suspicion and said exaggeratedly: "I only collect herbs in the mountains. Of course I want to see what the palace of Daliang looks like. Come on, show me the invitation!"
Chen Xiaoyue stepped forward and took the invitation from Su Luoheng. Su Luoheng turned his back to them and bowed and said, "My cousin is leaving first."
After saying that, he quickly left.
Zhu Ying took the invitation and saw that it was indeed the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She rushed towards her yard and said, "I'm going to buy some clothes, but I can't lose my etiquette!"
Chen Xiaoyue said: "No, the prince said that girls cannot leave the Shangshu Mansion."
Zhu Ying said dissatisfiedly: "Do you want me to be embarrassed at the lotus appreciation party?"
Chen Xiaoyue said: "Girls are naturally beautiful and do not need gorgeous clothes to embellish them."
Zhu Ying seemed to be inspired by her words. She put her hands on her cheeks and began to think.
Su Luomei said: "Sister, I have some clothes..."
At this moment, Zhu Ying said uncharacteristically: "No, no, no. Sister, please go back first!"
Then he walked away in a confused voice, leaving behind a confused Su Luomei.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. It was soon time for the "Lotus Appreciation Banquet". With Qiuyue's support, Su Luomei came to Zhu Ying's yard early. The door of the house was still closed. She motioned to Qiuyue to come forward.
Knock the door.
Chen Xiaoyue answered the door, and Zhu Ying was still stretching, looking like she had just woken up.
Qiuyue said anxiously: "Miss, you haven't washed yourself yet, the time is almost here."
Zhu Ying glanced at Su Luomei. She was dressed up today. It seemed that Qiuyue had put a lot of thought into it.
While washing herself, she praised her: "My sister is as beautiful as a peach and a plum, and she is more beautiful than any other woman. This lotus appreciation banquet is going to enchant all the young men from aristocratic families."
Su Luomei lowered her head shyly and said, "This is all thanks to my sister's wonderful rejuvenation. But I really need to hurry up, otherwise I will really miss the time."
Zhu Ying was still so unhurried, while Qiu Yue was anxious but inconvenient to urge her.
Zhu Ying found a bright emerald green dress from the box and put it on. She painted a thick rouge on her face to cover up her original delicate appearance. She stuck a few golden forks on her head and stood with Su Luomei to form a
There is a strong contrast and it looks vulgar.
Qiuyue was so shocked that she opened her mouth wide. Su Luomei couldn't help but said: "Sister, my figure is somewhat similar to my sister. It's a pity that I have a few unworn shirts lying around. Why don't my sister change into them?"
How about giving it a try?"
Zhu Ying waved her hands and said, "That's great, let's go!"
She was very satisfied, held her head high, and walked ahead with confident steps.
Su Luomei just thought that Zhu Ying had never seen the world and tried to persuade her, but Chen Xiaoyue shook her head at her. Su Luomei stopped trying to persuade her, picked up her skirt and followed her.
Su Luoyan and Su Luotao also saw Zhu Ying at the gate. They were also shocked by her makeup, but they were also secretly happy at the same time. They felt that there was one less competitor at the lotus appreciation banquet, which was also a surprise.
In their hearts they despised Zhu Ying, a country girl who had never seen the world, but both of them who had suffered a lot now did not dare to show their contempt on their faces.

Zhu Ying and Su Luomei were in a carriage, and Su Luoyan and Su Luotao were in a carriage. The two carriages drove slowly towards the palace.
Around the time of a cup of tea, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace. There was already a long queue of carriages at the entrance, and the guarding soldiers were checking the list one by one before letting them go.
Zhu Ying looked out through the car curtains. There were two lanes at the entrance. One was for the ministers and their children, which was very congested at the moment. The other was a special lane for the emperor's relatives. That one was indeed smooth.
Unobstructed.
Zhu Ying saw Zhao Yu's carriage because Ding Yi was sitting next to the driver. Zhu Ying asked Su Luomei, "Has King Chun been invited too?"
Su Luomei said: "Yes!"
Zhu Ying asked curiously: "Aren't all unmarried men and women invited to this lotus appreciation banquet?"
Su Luomei said with evasive eyes: "I heard from my father that the emperor felt that Prince Chun's palace was thin and the princess had nothing to do, so he wanted to find another good match for him."
When Zhu Ying heard that she was not well, she immediately felt panicked when she thought of Zhao Yu marrying again.
Why does this emperor always want to surround him with people? The old emperor is like this and the new emperor is like this. A nice lotus appreciation feast turned into a blind date feast?
"Prime Minister Zhu also agreed?" Zhu Ying was concerned about Zhu Neng's attitude. Deep in her heart, she still had a hidden expectation for him. She hoped that he would still have her as a daughter in his heart and fight for her rights.
Su Luomei said: "It seems that Prime Minister Zhu didn't express any opinions!"
Zhu Ying threw down the curtain angrily, sat back in her seat angrily and stopped talking.
Su Luomei knew that the relationship between Zhu Ying and Zhao Yu was ambiguous. She comforted: "Dad said that the emperor was testing the minds of the ministers to see who wanted to side with King Chun. In my opinion, no one would dare to marry his daughter off."
It's for Prince Chun, so my sister doesn't need to worry."
"I'm not worried anymore!" Zhu Ying said forcefully.
But she had mixed feelings in her heart. If the emperor really granted marriage, then in what capacity and position should she object?..co
