Chapter 103: Turning Hostility into Friendship
The palace people who came to deliver the decree held the bright yellow holy decree in their hands, and when they saw Su Yunruo, they greeted him with a smile on their faces, and laughed sharply: "The slave asks for peace to Princess Chu, you, it's really a blessing in disguise!" The emperor ordered the servants to announce the decree, please kneel and take it. ”
"The concubine Chu Princess Su received the order."
"The emperor's edict said: The princess of Chu, Su Shi, is gentle and courteous, has outstanding appearance, in order to save the king of Chu from being seriously injured, she can be a model for women in the world, and she will be given two gold beads and a pair of jade Ruyi, and a banquet will be held in Yanqing Palace at noon tomorrow for Su's family, and Qin will give ——"
Su Yunruo lowered her head and eyebrows jumped suddenly, it didn't matter if there was a reward for these two jujubes, but she just wanted her to enter the palace, and there was no room for refusal after a holy decree.
"Is the princess happy and confused? Thank you! ”
She hurriedly came back to her senses, bowed lightly and thanked her, let Yun Ting take the holy decree, and stuffed a heavy bag of silver into the palace people.
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, who will enter the palace for a banquet tomorrow?"
The palace man covered his lips with his orchid fingers and smiled: "The princess is polite, you call the slave Gonggong Liu." The emperor values you and the prince, and specially allows the royal family and the women of the inner and outer families to accompany each other at the banquet! The princess is so blessed, such an honor that others can't ask for in a few lifetimes! ”
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she quietly thanked her and sent Gonggong Liu out.
Su Qingyuan heard that the palace had sent a reward, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to invite her over with a smile on his face, and personally poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her, smiling very kindly.
"If the child is out, it is very comforting to have you as the father of the glorious lintel. I'm ashamed of your biological mother, no matter what, Shishi's death has nothing to do with that poisonous woman, but because of the love between husband and wife for so many years, I can't divorce her seriously, right? You and Shishi's grievances are both clear in your heart, and you have also seen that I have handed over the power of the family to Lan Qi, which is already a great punishment for her! ”
She smiled lightly, and took a sip of tea slowly: "Could it be that in my father's eyes, a human life can be exchanged for the right to be a housekeeper?" The daughter is deeply unhappy, but she can also empathize with her father's embarrassment, and this matter will be over. As long as the mother does not make waves in the future, the daughter is also willing to be filial to her knees. ”
"Okay, well, I knew you were a sensible child. Ruo'er, now that you are married, I have nothing to worry about, but your sister's marriage has not yet been decided. You are sisters, and you will be your closest in this world in the future, and if Rong'er can marry a good family, it will also have many benefits for you. ”
"How can I, as a sister, interfere in my sister's marriage?" Su Yunruo opened the teacup and took a sip of tea, and the rising mist slightly obscured the expression on her face.
"It's good for you sisters to have a little relationship, I thought...... Let her go with you to the Chu Palace, as the saying goes, 'go into battle as your brothers, fight as your father and son soldiers'. As the prince, sooner or later, you will have to take a concubine, rather than cheapen outsiders, it is better for you sisters to be together, even if there are any charming women entering the palace in the future, you sisters can deal with it together. ”
Su Qingyuan said, pushed a plate of osmanthus cake in front of her, and smiled very lovingly: "Knowing that you love to eat this, I specially asked someone to buy it from Xingshengzhai." The emperor decreed that you should be given a banquet in Yanqing Palace, you might as well take Rong'er with you, so that she can see the world. ”
Su Yunruo held back the disgust in her eyes, and nodded obediently: "My daughter understands, then let my sister prepare." However, there are big rules in the palace, and if my sister has a mistake and annoys any nobleman, my daughter is afraid that she will not be able to protect her sister. ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell Rong'er to be cautious in her words and deeds. Ruo'er, you are really the lucky star of our Su family! ”
She smiled noncommittally, and after a few perfunctory words from Su Qingyuan, she went back to her bedroom to rest.
At dawn the next day, Su Yunruo was pulled up by Yun Ting to dress up, the princess's costume was cumbersome, even if the Yanqing Palace had a banquet at noon, she had to enter the palace early and wait.
She sat sleepily in front of the bronze mirror and listened to the clouds to grease and powder her, and the beads on her head weighed down her neck, and it took a full hour to tidy up, and helped her into the carriage waiting at the door.
Su Yunrong looked at her with jealousy, his hands clenched into two fists tightly, and his nails were embedded in his palms and he didn't realize the pain.
It took about two sticks of incense to see the palace with red walls and green tiles, and the sun slowly rose from the east, shining on the glazed tile roof to reflect a colorful light.
The palace people at the door hurriedly greeted him and said courteously: "The slave greets Princess Chu!" The prince is talking to the emperor in the imperial study, and the servant will take you to Yanqing Palace, and the prince will arrive later. ”
"There is Father-in-law."
Before they walked to the imperial garden, a delicate figure stood in front of them, sneering arrogantly: "I thought it was who, it turned out to be the famous Princess Chu!" I heard that you were seriously injured in order to save the prince, and I didn't miss arms or legs! ”
Su Yunruo frowned slightly and raised her eyes, facing Song Yuyue's contemptuous gaze.
"It's been a long time since I saw Miss Song, and seeing that Miss Song is radiant today, it can be seen that the injury she suffered that day has healed."
Song Yiyue squinted her eyes and snorted coldly: "You still dare to mention the events of that day?" Don't think that you can fool my mother with your clever words, and you can fool me together! I remember clearly, it was you who pushed Miss Su and caused me to fall! ”
"Miss Song's memory is quite good, so it can be seen that she didn't hurt her head."
She took a deep breath, squeezed out a smirk of hatred from her eyes: "Speaking of which, there is no deep hatred between you and me, I thought that you were not worthy of the prince of Chu so I couldn't look down on you." Since you did not hesitate to risk your life in order to save the prince, I am relieved to see that you are sincere to the prince. There will be more times when we meet in the future, Miss Ben will be a little more aggrieved and turn the conflict with you into a jade silk, okay? ”
Su Yunruo looked at her seriously, and smiled quietly: "That's great." ”
"This is the jade ring that accompanied my mother when she got married, I have always regarded it as a treasure, and I will give it to you today, you have to keep it."
As she spoke, Song Yiyue took off a crystal clear jade ring and stuffed it into her hand, and an imperceptible undercurrent surged in her eyes.
Su Yunrong stomped his foot anxiously and grabbed her: "Miss Song, have you forgotten how she became your enemy?" Although she is my own sister, but I have always helped her relatives, if you just shake hands with her and say that in the future, who will still take you in the eyes of the noble girls in the capital? ”
Song Yiyue glared at her fiercely and brushed her hand away, and wrinkled her eyebrows in disgust: "It's not your right to speak, shut up!" ”
