Chapter 217: The Feast
Su Zhiyu said that the head was the Tao, but in Zhao Yu's opinion, this was nothing more than perfunctory her, looking at his appearance, where did he have the heart to understand her, all his thoughts were on Du Ruonan.
Seeing Su Zhiyu leave after speaking, Zhao Yu stomped his feet in hatred, and had to stay alone in the empty room, thinking that it was definitely not a way to go on like this, and he must get Su Zhiyu's heart.
"Ruonan, have you slept?"
Su Zhiyu asked softly in Du Ruonan's ear.
"Not yet."
Du Ruonan replied.
"My mother told me ...... after you went out just now."
Su Zhiyu was about to tell Du Ruonan what Yurou said, worried that Du Ruonan felt that he had something to hide from him. But before he finished speaking, Du Ruonan blocked his mouth with his hand.
Then Du Ruonan smiled and shook his head at him.
In fact, what Yurou said Du Ruonan was very clear in her heart, she knew that it must be for Su Zhiyu and Zhao Yuyuanfang.
The reason why she didn't sleep was because she didn't understand what she was thinking in her heart, on the one hand, she wanted two round houses, but she didn't want two round houses, which made her very conflicted.
I hope that the two of them will have a round house because Du Ruonan can see that Zhao Yu is sincere to Su Zhiyu, and in the future, Su Zhiyu will have Zhao Yu's help, which will be much easier than now. And after all, she is a princess, if Su Zhiyu has been hanging like this, it will inevitably be a little unreasonable.
But at the same time, her love for Su Zhiyu is selfish, so she doesn't want the two to have a round house, these two thoughts can't be dispersed in her mind for a long time, so she is also very depressed in her heart.
It wasn't until she heard Su Zhiyu's voice that she relaxed.
"Don't you want to know what your mother said?"
Su Zhiyu asked curiously.
"Of course I want to know, but if my mother doesn't tell me, there must be a reason why she doesn't tell me, so you better not tell me secretly."
Although Du Ruonan knew it, she still didn't want Su Zhiyu to tell about it, because she didn't think about how to face it. Speaking out would only add to the annoyance of the two.
It's better to be like now, if you don't say it and I don't ask, everyone will be fine. But this is only temporary, and they will still have to face this problem after all.
"Madam, this is an invitation sent by Concubine De's maid."
A maid respectfully handed the invitation to Yurou.
As soon as Yurou heard that it was Concubine De, she didn't need to look at the invitation to know what it was, and it would be Concubine De's birthday in ten days, presumably this was a banquet prepared for her.
Since Concubine Jing was sent to prison, Concubine De has become the emperor's favorite concubine, and the concubines who often suppress Concubine De on weekdays have also begun to curry favor with Concubine De.
But today's Concubine De is no longer the Concubine De of the past, and after experiencing ups and downs, her heart has quietly changed, knowing that kindness will not work in the harem.
"I'll be there on time."
Yurou agreed without thinking about it, her relationship with Concubine De was already good, and now the two have become in-laws, so she naturally will not refuse Concubine De's invitation.
After the maid left, Yurou opened the invitation and saw that it was Concubine De who was preparing to hold a birthday banquet.
"Mother, I want to go out these days."
Zhao Yu suddenly appeared and said to Yurou.
Yurou nodded, thinking that she must be preparing a gift for Concubine De, and it is natural for her daughter to prepare a gift for her mother, of course she will not stop it.
Besides, even if Zhao Yu wanted to go out in normal times, Yurou would not have the slightest obstruction, let alone in such a special period.
At first, Du Ruonan didn't think it was strange, it was understandable that the princess was bored in the house and wanted to go out, but she went out for several days in a row, which made Du Ruonan a little confused.
"Has Zhiyu encountered something to the princess recently, and why does she run out every day?"
Du Ruonan asked curiously.
Of course, she was curious and envious at the same time, she hadn't gone out since she came back. However, she didn't ask Yurou, she had been in Sufu for a long time, and she knew that if Yurou wanted her to know, she would definitely ask her to come over and tell her.
It's okay that Yurou doesn't ask if she doesn't say it, but once she asks curiously, she will be blamed by Yurou.
"It should be her mother's birthday in a few days."
Obviously, Du Ruonan didn't take this matter to heart, but when Du Ruonan reminded him like this, he remembered this matter.
"What?"
Du Ruonan shouted.
Zhao Yu's mother's birthday, how could Su Zhiyu not be prepared at all, how to say it at that time.
"Have you prepared a gift for someone?"
Du Ruonan asked anxiously.
Su Zhiyu shook his head, in the past, this kind of thing was done by Yu Rou, and then he would not go to this kind of occasion at all. But now his identity is different from the past, and if he didn't go in the past, naturally no one would say anything. Let's have a book
But now he also has to call Concubine De Niangniang, so he must go to Concubine De's birthday, and he must be sincere.
"You didn't tell me about it earlier, and I can't leave the house now, you tell Mingyue about it, and then I'll write a letter to her when you go out."
Du Ruonan hurriedly arranged it, and Su Zhiyu was arranged by Du Ruonan like this.
And what she wrote in her letter was naturally that Su Mingyue temporarily made a set of clothes as a congratulatory gift from Su Zhiyu to Concubine De, but she told Su Mingyue very tactfully that she could make it with the queen of Linyue Kingdom.
Of course, you can't make another set as it is, otherwise if it is discovered by someone with a heart, it will definitely be a big disaster.
"Madame told you to come over."
As soon as Du Ruonan handed the letter to Su Zhiyu and asked him to send it to Su Mingyue, her maid ran over to inform her that Yurou was looking for her.
It can be seen that her maid does not respect her very much, and is obviously influenced by Yurou and Zhao Yu, so she also feels that Du Ruonan's good life will not last long, and there is no need to flatter in front of her.
Du Ruonan put down the busy work in his hand and immediately followed the maid to see Yurou.
"It's Yu'er's mother's birthday soon, you are ready to prepare, don't go and lose the face of the Su family when the time comes."
Yurou did inform Du Ruonan of the matter, but she didn't hope that she could do anything, she just hoped that she would not make a fool of herself at the banquet and affect the reputation of the Su family.
"Ruonan knows."
Jiao Tai Palace.
"I wish the queen a thousand years of life, this is a congratulatory gift for the mother, and I hope the queen will not dislike vulgarity, please smile."
"I wish the mother a blessing like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan."
Everyone congratulated Concubine De Niangniang, of course, many of them were to please Concubine De Niangniang.
"Mother, this is a gift I specially prepared for you."
As he spoke, he handed over the gift he had painstakingly prepared for Concubine De in the past few days into Concubine De's hand, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a jade smoke Luo Qiyun skirt.
"It seems that Concubine De has a good daughter, and it must have taken a lot of effort to get it."
Everyone praised Zhao Yu.
Of course, they felt that Zhao Yu was able to find such raw materials, which must be the credit of Su Zhiyu.
Thinking that she married Su Zhiyu for just half a month, Concubine Jing was put in prison because of Su Zhiyu, and her mother Concubine De was favored by the emperor immediately.
No wonder Zhao Yu took a fancy to Su Zhiyu, even if Su Zhiyu abandoned her on her wedding day, she could choose to forgive, and even allowed Su Zhiyu to marry another woman.
Hearing everyone's praise, Zhao Yu's heart was beaming with pride.
"Sister Yurou now you can enjoy Qingfu, Zhiyu married you two such virtuous wives, the princess naturally doesn't need to say much, Ruonan's skills are not small, she is still the imperial merchant this year, and the clothes I am wearing now were bought from her."
A woman who is not very beautiful, but gives people an unusual temperament, envies.
"Yes, it's so enviable, it's not easy for a woman to do so well in business, I don't know how much effort I have to put in behind it."
The one who spoke before was the wife of a senior member of the court, who had a good relationship with Yurou on weekdays, and before Yurou could reply, Wang Yushuang sneered on the side.
The word hard work is particularly important, which makes people sound very uncomfortable.
Yu Rou just had a good impression of Yu Rou, and immediately disappeared, replaced by anger.
"It's not good if you don't envy it, people have done such a big business, and they are well-informed, where do they stay at home all day long like us."
As soon as the woman on Wang Yushuang's side heard her say this, she immediately understood what she meant, and immediately echoed.
How could Yu Rou not hear the sarcasm between the words of the two, didn't she just want to say that Du Ruonan was a woman, but she showed up outside, and her business was so big, and she came into contact with a lot of people, it was inevitable that people would feel unclean.
Because of Zhao Yu's matter, she was already dissatisfied with Du Ruonan, but now that Wang Yushuang and a few people said this, Yurou instantly felt that the Su family's face had been lost to Du Ruonan.
But Yurou is not an ordinary person. In addition, today is Concubine De's birthday after all, so Yurou swallowed this breath and pretended to be casual and talked and laughed with a few people. Wang Yushuang saw that her words had no effect, so she left boringly.
"Ugh."
After Wang Yushuang left, Yurou sighed.
She didn't let Du Ruonan be Su Zhiyu's main house in the past, wasn't she worried that others would laugh at the Su family behind their backs? Even so, today she was still humiliated by Wang Yushuang because of this incident.
This made her heart very depressed.
"It turned out to be a smoke and water flower skirt made of silk."
"It's worthy of this year's imperial businessman, and the things that come out are of a high standard."
Just when Yurou was depressed, there was a sudden commotion on the side, Yurou calmed down her mood and looked over there. found that everyone was praising Du Ruonan.
This can't help but arouse Yurou's curiosity.
