Chapter 32: The Eve of the Palace Banquet
Su Yue's affair in the queen's palace soon spread, and Prime Minister Su also knew about it. He sat www.biquge.info desk with a furrowed brow. He was very entangled and didn't know how to face this daughter. In fact, after Wang Yuzhu went crazy, he could hear some clues from her mouth intermittently. It's his own indifference that ruined his daughter. For Su Yue, he knew that she was his concubine, but he let himself often ignore her. Because he and Wang Yuzhu were also in love at the beginning, but Su Yue's mother Lin Jing asked to marry him. He doesn't have much affection for Lin Jing, it's just a marriage of interests. So I didn't pay too much attention to the children she gave birth to. Two years ago, his other two children passed away one after another, which hit him hard, and he still invested a lot of emotions in those two children. He also had two concubines, but none of them came out. He knew that Su Yue had become his only heir, but that child was thrown out by him after all, and even if she was the only child, he didn't want to go to Su Yue, because he felt that her past was still a stain on him. He is not too old now, and he can still have his own children, Su Minshan thought.
"The queen is so interested here!" The emperor's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the meditating queen and Su Yue, who was stroking the qin and whispering. The two of them hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Concubine, see the emperor."
"Su Yue, meet the emperor." They said at the same time.
"It's okay, let's all get up, I passed by and heard the beautiful singing, come in and have a look." The emperor looked at Su Yue who was standing next to the qin, this woman still has such a beautiful side.
"The emperor has won the award, Su Yue just casually played a bullet to relieve the queen's boredom." Su Yue said respectfully.
"Su Yue, you don't have to be modest, you play really well, and you sing beautifully. Hongu was also surprised. The queen also said.
"Yes, that's what the queen said. Who did you learn this from? It is rumored that the daughter of Su Mansion is not able to understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It seems that the rumors are really not credible. The emperor said.
Su Yue thought about it, but don't expose it, and quickly explained. "Minnu, in the past few years, when I was alone, I always found time to practice what I used to learn at home."
"It's a child with a heart." The queen sighed.
"Has the queen been feeling better lately? I see you're looking good today. The emperor looked at his wife. In recent years, the queen has been depressed and unhappy, so that he is not in the mood to come to her. But it's always his wife, and I'm worried about it in my heart.
"Well, the concubine is much better." The queen said.
"That's good, prepare well for tomorrow's palace banquet, your body is good, and you can let others help you." The emperor said with concern.
"The concubine understands. Thank you for your understanding! The queen replied respectfully.
"Su Yue, look at your father tomorrow, would you like to go home with him?" The emperor asked. He knew about Su Minshan's situation, and now Su Yue was his only child.
"Your Majesty, Su Yue won't go back, my father has already severed the father-daughter relationship with me, so I won't trouble him." Su Yue said that Su Yue really didn't have a good impression of this indifferent father, and she also had her own home and Xiaoxue. She didn't want to go back.
"Your Majesty, the concubine promised her good sister to take care of her children, but now she 。。。。。。 I have already asked Xi'er to help Su Yue buy her a small courtyard in Kyoto to live in. If she doesn't want to go back, don't go back. The queen said, she also understood Su Minshan's indifference to Su Yue.
"Okay, according to the queen's arrangement, but Su Yue, Prime Minister Su is also your father, and he will do his filial piety at the right time." The emperor thought about it and said, just do what the queen wants, he knows that Su Yue is her heart knot, after all, Su Yue's mother is kind to her. Let her return the favor.
"Su Yue understands, the emperor can rest assured." Su Yue replied.
The emperor looked at Su Yue, who was also a sensible child, but his fate was too bumpy. Forget it, by the way, let it be. After saying goodbye to the queen, he got up and left.
"Niangniang, will I also participate in tomorrow's palace banquet?" Su Yue asked.
"Well, yes, you don't want to go?" The queen asked, presumably the child was afraid of being embarrassed to see his father.
"Well, a little, I don't know how to face my father. I have amnesia, and I don't remember what he looked like. Su Yue said. She was afraid that Su Minshan would find out what she would do if she wasn't real.
"It's okay, you can just be with this palace. Let's go see the excitement, and you'll go back after the palace banquet. The queen said.
"Okay." Su Yue didn't want to brush off the queen's kindness anymore.
"Queen Mother, the prince has come to say goodbye." Mama Liu's voice came from outside the house, and soon I saw Shangguan Xi walking in.
"Erchen visits the queen mother," Shangguan Xi said.
"Get up, have you found Su Yue's place to live?" The queen asked.
"Su Yue meets the prince." Su Yue said.
"I found it, a very clean and tidy yard, which has been cleaned up, enough for their mother and daughter. When it's ready, I'll just add some servants. Shangguan Xi looked at Su Yue and said.
"Queen Mother, I'm not used to being served, so you can find one to cook and two to clean. I'll be fine with the rest. Su Yue said, she thought that she had nothing to do, and it would cost a lot of money to hire so many people.
"Then according to your wishes, you will tell Xi'er what people you need and what you lack after you move in." The queen said.
"Thank you, sis." Su Yue said with a smile.
Shangguan Xi looked at the queen mother's complexion much better, it seemed that Su Yue was right to come back, and he was also very pleased.
"Xi'er, come over early tomorrow for the palace banquet. Su Yue, you arrange for her to sit with the fourth, fifth, and sixth princesses. The queen said.
The emperor has a total of six princesses, and three have been married. is currently the fourth princess Shangguan Fei, fifteen years old this year. The fifth princess, Shangguan Yun, is fourteen years old this year. The sixth princess, Shangguan Ling, is twelve years old. Stay in the boudoir. This palace banquet was also held for them, and they were also given a suitable colt to settle their family affairs.
"Erchen knows. The queen mother is relieved. Shangguan Xi said.
"Su Yue, let me tell you about the princesses, you have a number in your heart when you get along." The queen said quietly. "The fourth princess has a more lively personality, the fifth princess is more quiet, and the sixth princess is the youngest, because her mother is now favored, so she is more spoiled, but her nature is not bad, but she is a little stubborn. You still try to talk to them as little as possible. This palace banquet is mainly for the fourth princess and the fifth princess to choose horses. The queen explained.
"Su Yue, remember. Rest assured. Su Yue said.
"Xi'er, if you have something to do tomorrow, you can also choose two to be side concubines. It will also help you. When the time comes, enter the door with the concubine. The queen said. The queen knew that she really didn't care enough about her son over the years, or she wouldn't let him marry a spicy woman as a concubine.
"Erchen will watch it. The queen mother is relieved. Shangguan Xi said. Then the queen mother, you rest, the son has retired. ”
Seeing that the prince walked out, because she was worried about Xiaoxue, she said goodbye to the queen and hurriedly chased out.
"Prince, Prince, wait for me." Su Yueran panted and shouted. In the palace, she didn't dare to call him by name. I wondered how this man could go so fast.
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Xi asked.
"I want to know how Xiaoxue is, you know?" Su Yue asked worriedly.
"Luffy went to see it, and it's good. You'll go back the day after tomorrow. Don't worry. Shangguan Xi said. He knew she was worried, so he asked Luffy to take a look last night.
"That's great, thank you." Su Yue said with a smile.
"Okay, you go back, you must talk less tomorrow. Stay honest for one day, and leave the day after tomorrow. Shangguan Xi still said uneasily, he knew that her mouth was definitely a scourge.
"Got it." Su Yue said.
Shangguan Xi lowered his head and picked out the petals in Su Yue's hair. Then he turned around and walked away. Su Yue looked at the disappearing blue figure, she didn't know what was going on, and her heart was beating very hard. She patted her heart, could it be that she was sick again, didn't this body have a heart attack? Or why are you so nervous and your heart is beating so fast?! Su Yue walked back blankly.
