Chapter 343 Xiao Ding
Almost all of the big families in the capital are about the same age as Su Qingnuan, and they are already married. Su Qingnuan is talented and good-looking, and she is the daughter of the Su family, and she has often lived in Yongjing Wangfu all these years, although people don't say anything on the surface, but the speculation and discussion behind the scenes have never been heard.
Now hearing the news that Su Qingnuan is about to marry far away, there are not a few curious people. The most prosperous thing for wives and grandmothers in the capital is curiosity, but what they don't lack is leisure. For several days in a row, the Su family was full of guests. No matter what kind of excuse the person who came to the door, the final topic would come down to Su Qingnuan's family affairs.
Su Qingnuan wants to marry far away, and the Su family handles this matter quite low-key, and only the people in Yongjing Palace's mansion know about it. But now, no matter how low-key the Su family is, they can't save the situation. Even one day in the court, after the emperor announced his retirement from the court, he called Su Qingnuan's father and asked.
This news was told by Rong Chenghan to Liu Ruoxi, because Rong Chenghan was also left behind at that time. Later, Su Qingnuan's father replied to the emperor's majesty and left, and Rong Chenghan followed the emperor to the Yangxin Palace. The emperor was looking for Rong Chenghan to have a serious matter, but in addition to talking about business, His Majesty the Emperor said a few words to Rong Chenghan about Su Qingnuan.
The corners of Liu Ruoxi's mouth couldn't help twitching.
His Majesty the Emperor, in fact, is also extremely gossip deep down.
And Liu Ruoxi already knew this as early as when she knew that His Majesty the Emperor had cared about Rong Chenghan's beard.
"Long live Lord asked, how did Master Su answer?" Liu Ruoxi secretly complained about the emperor, and asked Rong Chenghan again.
"The second uncle said that there was such a thing." Rong Chenghan hugged the little pig who climbed to the edge of the couch back to his side and said casually.
The little pig struggled in Rong Chenghan's hand, and as soon as Rong Chenghan let go of his hand, the little guy began to squirm on the couch again.
It was already the height of summer, and the little pig was wearing a small belly pocket embroidered with bangs and golden toad, revealing her chubby arms and legs as white as lotus roots. The little one's body grew stronger and stronger, when other children were just learning to turn over. He was already self-taught, and slowly learned to climb. It's just that the hands and feet are not very strong, and most of them rely on their small bodies to squirm on the couch.
Such a meat dumpling, squirming in such a posture, when Liu Ruoxi found it for the first time, her heart was so soft that she almost melted, but she couldn't help laughing. She called Rong Chenghan, and Rong Chenghan also laughed. Since then, watching the little pig climb on the couch has become one of the couple's favorite entertainment. Just like the scene at this moment.
Although it was the height of summer, for fear that the little piglet would be injured, a thick brocade mattress was still laid on the couch.
The little pig was tired of crawling, so he grabbed Liu Ruoxi's knee, threw himself on Liu Ruoxi's lap, and salivated on Liu Ruoxi's leg.
Liu Ruoxi didn't care at all, while picking up the little piglet, wrapping it in thin silk, and letting the little pig lie in her arms and grab her hair hanging on her shoulders to play.
"Long live the Lord has asked. It's a sure thing. Liu Ruoxi smiled and said to Rong Chenghan, "Long live Lord is really concerned about his courtiers. ”
Rong Chenghan's eyes flashed slightly, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, and he nodded to Liu Ruoxi.
After the Emperor's Majesty asked. There was news from Su Mansion that Su Qingnuan was going to make a small decision with the young master of the Ding family.
It is not a big deal to make a small decision, but the relationship between the palace and the Su family is different, and the Su family will definitely go.
"The mother concubine has been in a worse and worse mood in the past two days, and she is afraid of everything." It's not just a cowardice. Su Shi has sighed a lot these days. Su Shi was sighing something, this was not a secret in the palace.
Speaking of which, there was really nothing in the palace that the Su clan needed to sigh about.
This time. The old prince's body is looking better, and the princess can also get up and walk around a little, and Su sighed, naturally Su Qingnuan.
While the couple was talking, a little girl came in to report that it was the Su family who asked Liu Ruoxi to go to Chunhui Hall. Liu Ruoxi sent the little girl back first, only saying that she would go over immediately.
"What did the concubine call you?" Rong Chenghan asked.
"It's probably about the seventh sister." Liu Ruoxi thought about it and guessed. She has been taking care of family affairs for a while, and if she doesn't talk about the affairs of the palace, it is not too much worse, and when the Su family looks for her at this time, there is only one thing she can guess. "It's supposed to be for me to open the storeroom."
Su Qingnuan wanted to make a small decision, Su Mansion arranged a family banquet, and the Su family was afraid that they would give a gift in the past, so they asked Liu Ruoxi to open the public treasury to get things.
Liu Ruoxi said this, and handed the little pig to Rong Chenghan.
Rong Chenghan took the little pig and hugged it in his arms, and kissed his son's brain. As soon as the little pig left her mother's arms, she seemed to be a little unhappy, and struggled in Rong Chenghan's arms.
"Stinky boy, hot, like a small stove." Although Rong Chenghan said this, there was no disgust in his tone and attitude, and he still hugged the little pig tightly in his arms.
Liu Ruoxi couldn't help laughing.
Rong Chenghan is right, the little pig's body is hot, it's okay in winter, hold it at such a time, if it weren't for the ice basin in the house, I'm afraid that it would take a while to sweat.
The little pig was still struggling in Rong Chenghan's arms, and he was still holding his little hands to catch Liu Ruoxi.
"Stinky boy, you still dislike me." Rong Chenghan raised his slap and gently slapped the little pig's fat ass/stock.
Compared with Liu Ruoxi, Rong Chenghan's body temperature is high. The little pig himself is a small stove, but he also does not like Rong Chenghan, but prefers Liu Ruoxi.
was slapped in the face, but the little pig jumped in Rong Chenghan's arms and giggled. He thought Rong Chenghan was playing with him. Perhaps realizing that his mother had something to do and had to leave, he couldn't keep it, so the little pig resigned himself to his father's arms. His little hand no longer grabbed Liu Ruoxi, but called out to Rong Chenghan's face.
Rong Chenghan's chin full of stubble is still one of the little pig's favorite toys.
Seeing that the father and son were happy, Liu Ruoxi smiled, and then turned around and came out of the middle of Yunshui.
Walking into Chunhui Hall, Liu Ruoxi saw a sedan chair parked in the courtyard, and there were more girls and mothers-in-law standing under the corridor than before, but several of them were from Rongyuan Hall. Could it be that the princess is also here, Liu Ruoxi secretly wondered in her heart, and walked up the steps.
The little girl reported to the inside while raising the curtain.
Liu Ruoxi entered the house, and sure enough, she saw the princess.
The princess was sitting on the first chair under the bed. It was Su Shi sitting on the couch, and both of them turned their heads to look at Liu Ruoxi, as if they were waiting for Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi stepped forward to greet her, and also sat on the chair, while carefully looking at the Su family and the princess by taking advantage of the gap between receiving tea.
The Su family has recently cleared a little, but the princess has not changed much, but her face seems to be a little gloomy than before.
Su Qingnuan's family affairs, after all, still touched many people.
"Is the mother in good health?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
"What's good or bad, you can save some heart, it's my great creation." Su's is lukewarm and authentic. Maybe it's because of the news that Su Qingnuan wants to be determined. made Su's mood extremely low. Or maybe it was because of the presence of the princess, Su felt more confident. Su Shi treated Liu Ruoxi at the moment, and he was a little colder than usual. Even when he glanced over to look at Liu Ruoxi's gaze, he was also obviously picky and disliked.
Liu Ruoxi secretly took a look at it, and chose to ignore Su's attitude.
"As long as the mother concubine is open-minded, who can make the mother concubine feel uneasy." Liu Ruoxi smiled faintly.
Su glanced at Liu Ruoxi again, and then set his eyes on the princess. Su Shi's gaze at the princess was not only warmer, but also more content. Su Shi seems to be complaining and complaining like the princess, so that the princess can take a look. This is how Liu Ruoxi treats her, the princess's mother-in-law.
The princess didn't know if she saw Su's eyes, so she didn't say anything anyway.
"The concubine sent someone to call me, but what do you have to say?" Liu Ruoxi asked.
"It's not a big deal, you have the key in your hand. Just open the door to the storeroom upstairs at the back. Hearing Liu Ruoxi's question, the Su family seemed to cheer up some spirits, "When the family affairs of your seventh sister are decided, you must make a small decision." Sent me a post. Just the day after tomorrow. ”
"It's a happy event." Liu Ruoxi also said casually, just this sentence, and refused to say more.
Liu Ruoxi knows very well. Such a happy event is a bad thing in Su's eyes. Although Liu Ruoxi is not afraid of trouble, she will not deliberately cause trouble. Su's misunderstanding of her was already deep. In this matter, no matter what she says, Su will be too careful and will think about the worst.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm going to open a warehouse." Liu Ruoxi said and was about to get up.
Su Shi nodded, and took a list from the side to give it to Liu Ruoxi.
"Get all these things for me." Su Shi said to Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi took the list and glanced at it, and it was indeed a very generous gift. Liu Ruoxi left with the list, and behind her, the princess slowly spoke to the Su family.
"I also have two gifts, for the seventh sister, please ask my mother to help me bring them over."
"You ......"
"I should have gone in person, but I really don't want to fight this body. Let's look for another chance. ”
"That's fine, I'll bring it for you. It's hard for you. Su's tone was very kind, but the princess had always been indifferent.
"If there's anything going on, just send someone over and say it's it, but you don't have to come by yourself. On this very hot day, if you get sunburned, you will suffer again. Su Shi paused and said with concern.
“…… It's a little better, come and say goodbye to my father and mother. ”
"You are filial, the prince and I both know in our hearts, not on these false courtesies. …… It's not like those people who have nothing good on their faces, but they ...... behind their backs."
The princess did not pick up the stubble, but she did not show any impatience. Every time the princess came over, she just sat for a while and left. This is almost the longest time that the princess has stayed in Chunhui Hall in all these years. Moreover, after finishing the business, the princess had no intention of leaving.
Su Shi has a lot of words, and he used to be able to talk to Su Qingnuan, but now it is difficult to find someone to say. The princess of the world showed such an appearance, which invisibly gave Su encouragement.
“…… It's just that it's not tolerated. Su continued to complain to the princess, "I didn't agree with this family affair at the beginning. Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman depends only on what kind of person her mother is and how she raises her daughter, which can be imagined. ”
Seeing that her husband was no heir, she never allowed her husband to take a concubine, and only raised such a girl, and she was raised like a phoenix egg. In front of the old lady of their family, she is also face-saving, but she still makes her husband die for her, and would rather leave the name of unfilial piety......"
"It's not that she's pressing step by step, why should the seven girls' relatives be so anxious, or marry far away!"
Speaking of Su Qingnuan, Su's eye circles were a little red.
"She compares with you, and she doesn't say anything, this heart is heaven and earth. The women of our Su family are losing to this infatuation......" Su said a lot.
When the princess finally spoke, her tone was much lower. The people serving outside couldn't hear what the princess said.
Liu Ruoxi found all the things that the Su family was looking for, and then came back to recover her life. The princess had already left at this time, and what the Su family said had already reached Liu Ruoxi's ears word for word.
"Mother, take a look, what is missing?" Liu Ruoxi said to Su Shi.
"That's all, there is no shortage for the time being." Su Shi checked the things and nodded slightly, "If you want anything more, I'll send someone to call you." ”
The princess sat back and forth in a sedan chair, and Su was worried about being sunburned. Calling Liu Ruoxi over at such a time, the Su family was not worried at all.
When Liu Ruoxi returned to Yunshuiju, she saw Rong Chenghan and the little pig playing happily, the little pig's forehead was already sweating, and Rong Chenghan's back was also wet.
Seeing the father and son like this, Liu Ruoxi's face showed a look of disgust.
Rong Chenghan saw it at a glance, and when Liu Ruoxi arrived, he actually hugged the little pig and stuffed it into Liu Ruoxi's arms, and at the same time opened his arms and tightly wrapped the mother and son into it.
A big stove, plus a small stove, Liu Ruoxi was angry and laughing.
"On a hot day, I went out and was busy for a long time, and others didn't feel sorry for me, and you didn't feel sorry at all." Liu Ruoxi was so angry that although she said so, she didn't put down the pig, nor did she push Rong Chenghan away.
Rong Chenghan heard the little bit of affection that Liu Ruoxi was suppressing.
There is no need to ask, naturally he was wronged in front of the Su family.
Rong Chenghan's face showed an apologetic look, but he didn't let go of Liu Ruoxi, but tightened his arms a little more.
"Are you going to heat me to death?" Liu Ruoxi glanced at Rong Chenghan.
Rong Chenghan let go of his hand, took a fan from the couch, and fanned Liu Ruoxi.
"What the hell." Liu Ruoxi couldn't help laughing, "Let people see that your dignified Hou Ye actually fanned me, and I don't know how to say that I am arrogant and unvirtuous." ”
"Who dares to say!" Rong Chenghan said, thinking that there was really such a person, "Auntie, you don't need to care. (To be continued......)
