【582】Tranquility vs anxiety

She raised her head in displeasure, raised her eyebrows in the direction of the sound source, and saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe, stroking his beard and looking coldly towards her with a arrogant look.

That gloomy voice must have come from his flat mouth.

"Who is he?" Su Tong pulled Xuanyuan Hao's clothes and asked in a low voice - she knew many ministers in the court! After all, she had been in and out of the palace before!

But I have never seen this person before me!

Otherwise, just because of his flat mouth, there is no reason for her not to remember him?

"Prime Minister Zi Qingyuan." Xuanyuan Hao also explained to her in a low voice. Looking at Zi Qingyuan who was approaching step by step, a mature official smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, hypocritically flattering him, "The Prime Minister was joking, but the dinner party has not started yet.

The king and the princess just want to chat first."

This person is a new old fox in the court, and his ambition and means should not be underestimated. Therefore, until you are not sure of victory, it is better to treat him politely and use officialdom as a joke.

"Really?" Zi Qingyuan snorted disdainfully, his sharp eyes scanning the two people in front of him, his aura was more like that of a prince. He paused for a moment, then slowly spoke, "The prince and the princess really live in the mansion.

Don’t you even know what’s going on outside?”

Su Tong curled her lips in displeasure and poured tea and water on her own, automatically ignoring all his strange words. She found it troublesome to even look at him - she didn't even bother to ask him: What's going on outside?

Do they all have to know? Are they princes and princesses, or are they gossip reporters in the capital?

"I wonder which one the Prime Minister is talking about?" Xuanyuan Hao also pretended not to know, and started chatting with the Prime Minister in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, speaking high-sounding words, each of which contained hidden murderous intent.

"Hmph, which one can I have?" The prime minister was so angry that he slammed the table and made an indecent loud noise.

The force of his palm knocked a grape off the plate and threw it a certain distance. Su Tong caught it and stuffed it into his mouth leisurely, which was in sharp contrast to the prime minister's anxiety.

"Today, on the way to marrying into the palace, my little girl met an assassin!" Looking at the two, uh, careless people in front of him, the prime minister gritted his teeth and finally said these words from between his teeth.

He said the whole sentence bitterly, and then looked at the two people in front of him, waiting for their reactions. But obviously, he did not find any sense of existence from their reactions - Xuanyuan Hao still smiled and remained calm.

He looked humble and polite in front of others; Su Tong was probably addicted to the grape he just ate, and he was concentrating on picking grapes on the plate...

"She met an assassin!" The prime minister finally got angry. Who among the government and the public dared not to give him some face?

The two people in front of me who have just returned to the capital are really ignorant!

"Then what?" Su Tong looked at his angry cheeks that turned purple, and finally gnawed on a grape, asking coolly like he was listening to a book, waiting for his next words.

"Thanks to the large number of guardsmen and the assassin who seemed to have caught the wrong person, the little girl was able to enter the palace safely." The prime minister snorted and recounted what happened today one by one in displeasure.

There are so many dissatisfactions about this wedding, so the emperor should also give his first imperial concubine some compensation, right?

"Well, it is indeed quite thrilling." Su Tong nodded and agreed pointedly - it is indeed quite thrilling! Because the person who is being arrested at the moment is her! If she hadn't reacted faster, I am afraid that everyone in the palace would have been arrested by now.

Her mourning hall has been set up...

"On a day like today, an assassin appears. It must be..."

"Assassins don't pick days. Prime Minister, don't think too much. Fortunately, everything is fine. In the future, assassins will definitely not be able to get in so easily in the palace." Xuanyuan Hao interrupted him with a smile, obviously trying to comfort him, but actually he was.

Wanting him to shut up quickly and save him from making various demands, "Prime Minister, please hurry up and take your seat. The emperor will be here soon."

Su Tong nodded in agreement and piled the spitted grape skins into a hill. She felt that this rubbish hill was much cuter than the prime minister...

Xuanyuan Jin came over quickly, wearing a bright red wedding dress with a domineering dragon pattern embroidered on it, but he was slightly thinner and even looked a little sickly.

Once the emperor took his seat, the banquet truly began.

During the toasting, everyone had festive smiles on their faces. Those who knew the situation knew that Xuanyuan Jin married Ziqian out of desperation, so they did not toast much; those who did not know the situation, such as the prime minister, were still mumbling.

Concerning the fact that his daughter was assassinated today, he openly and secretly begged Xuanyuan Jin for a reward.

Internally, this kind of reward was just because Zi Qian was frightened on the road, and it was to put her down; but externally, if a new imperial concubine received such an honor on her wedding night, it would mean how much the emperor loved this woman!

Naturally, the status of the prime minister in the entire dynasty will also grow by leaps and bounds!

Naturally, Xuanyuan Jin would not go along with what he wanted, and the two of them had a battle of wits and courage at the dinner table! The sarcastic fight between the two men made Su Tong tilt her neck and watch quietly.

She felt a little bored and turned to look at Xuanyuan Hao, only to find that he was watching with great interest.

Sure enough, it’s not in good taste!

Su Tong shook her head helplessly, and was about to continue eating to relieve her boredom, when she heard Xuanyuan Hao faintly murmur: "I even suspect that this assassination was originally planned by the prime minister!"

His daughter was almost killed on the road. Isn't it strange that he was not in a hurry to see her but was here talking about compensation?

"It makes sense!" Su Tong's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she poked Xuanyuan Hao's chest with her elbow, "I really don't know what Zi Qian is thinking..."

At this point, her voice couldn't help but pause: What is Zi Qian thinking? Just ask her directly!

Women in this era are very talkative, so it wouldn't be too much for her to have a few words with that Ziqian, right?

"Su Tong!" An arm was wrapped around her waist. Xuanyuan Hao knew her intention, so he hugged her tightly and rested his head on her shoulder, with a tired look on his face, "Don't go fooling around!"

After all, it was the emperor's wedding, and he didn't want to watch Su Tong turn Xuanyuan Jin's wedding into ruins!

"I'm going!" Su Tong randomly punched Xuanyuan Hao on the chest. Before he could catch up, she lifted up her skirt and walked towards the harem...

There is nothing wrong with just treating her as if she were going to see the bride!

However, when she saw the new house and bride, she couldn't help but be stunned again...
