Chapter Forty-Nine: Sisters
There were not many people who participated in this tea party, and only three of the princes got married, the eldest prince, the eighth prince and the ninth prince.
Most of the ladies invited by Concubine Li Guifei to participate in the tea party this time were ladies from various provinces with relatively high official positions.
Su Luo is naturally among them.
A discerning person will know the purpose of this tea party at a glance.
Su Luo sat next to Concubine Li, talking generously and behaving elegantly, deeply liked Concubine Li.
Whether it is family background, appearance, or talent, Concubine Li Guifei feels that Su Luo is the best candidate for her future daughter-in-law.
Several other ladies also saw that Concubine Li Guifei liked Su Luo very much, and presumably Su Luo was the future third princess.
The third prince is the prince who is the most likely to be crowned the crown prince among all the princes.
Naturally, everyone finished stammering Li Guifei and stammering Suluo.
This feeling of being held by the stars made Su Luo very proud.
Su Wan took a sip of tea, she didn't know why she came to such a boring tea party.
Su Wan thought that her head must have been squeezed by the door, otherwise how could she be sitting here.
Su Wan held her chin boringly, and Li Ruoxi walked towards her.
"It seems that Auntie, she likes Miss Su Er very much." Li Ruoxi naturally sat next to Su Wan.
Su Wan's eyelids raised slightly, and she said casually; "Seems to be."
Li Ruoxi took a sip of tea and said slowly; "You don't seem to be happy."
Su Wan raised her eyes to look at her, puzzled; "Happy? Why should I be happy? ”
Li Ruoxi looked at her, her eyes narrowed slightly; "It seems that the rumors are right, your relationship with Su Luo is really not good."
Su Wan was not surprised that there would be such rumors.
"There were rumors like that."
Li Ruoxi was stunned; "Why don't you look like you're none of your business?"
Su Wan said lightly; "So how should I react, surprised or angry?"
"Yes." Li Ruoxi paused; "But my aunt is really blind, and she will take a fancy to Su Luo."
What kind of person Su Luo is, she can see it clearly.
Why did Li Guifei choose Su Luo, the reason is actually very simple, that is, Su Luo is the daughter of Prime Minister Su Cheng.
Su Wan looked at Huang Yiyi, who was chatting happily with Fang Chuqing not far away.
The relationship between the two seems to be very close.
"The eldest princess and Miss Huang look very close." Su Wan said.
Li Ruoxi was stunned; "Don't you know that the eldest princess and Miss Huang are sisters?"
Su Wan shook her head and said with some surprise; "You say they're sisters?"
Li Ruoxi nodded; "They are not sisters, Fang Chuqing is Huang Shangshu's adopted daughter."
"Fang Chuqing's maternal grandfather once saved Huang Shangshu, Fang Chuqing's mother died not long after she was born, and Fang Chuqing has been living with her maternal grandfather, but Fang Chuqing's maternal grandfather left when she was ten years old, and Huang Shangshu accepted her as a righteous daughter."
"I see."
Su Wan looked at Huang Yiyi, perhaps sensing that someone was looking at her.
Huang Yiyi happened to look in the direction where she was.
The moment their eyes met, Su Wan clearly saw hostility in Huang Yiyi's eyes.
Su Wan withdrew her gaze.
She has never been able to figure out why Huang Yiyi treats her like an enemy.
Li Ruoxi shouted Su Wan several times, and seeing that she didn't react, she stretched out her hand and shook her body.
Hearing someone shouting at her, Su Wan came back to her senses and looked at Li Ruoxi.
"Did you just say something?"
Li Ruoxi sighed; "I just said, do you want to come to the General's Mansion during the Chinese New Year and participate in the banquet I held?"
Su Wan refused very simply; "I'm sorry, I want to stay in the Prince's Mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve and don't go anywhere."
She didn't want to go to the banquet everywhere on Chinese New Year's Eve, she wanted to have a good New Year with Chu Mohan and Xing'er.
Li Ruoxi was a little lost; "It's hard to talk to you."
Su Wan smiled; "We can make an appointment."
"That's all it can be."
Fortunately, Li Ruoxi was there, and the two chatted, and time passed very quickly.
When the tea party ended, Su Wan felt relieved.
Everyone left, and only Li Guifei and Li Ruoxi were left in the main hall.
"Auntie, what's the matter with you leaving me alone?"
Li Guifei sat on the main seat: "It's nothing, Zhi'er has also reached the age of marriage, I want to point out a marriage to Zhi'er." ”
Li Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, what kind of person is her brother, everyone in the capital knows that the young lady is willing to marry him?
"Which girl does my aunt have a crush on?"
"This palace thinks that Miss Bai of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is good."
Li Ruoxi was a little surprised, her aunt actually wanted to marry Bai Ziyue to her brother, Bai Ziyue was arrogant, how could she be willing to marry her brother.
What does her son think about Bai Ziyue, how can she, a mother, not know.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has long been lonely, and he has no power at all, so he won't be able to help Xuan'er in the future.
Su Luo is different, her father is the prime minister, Su Luo marries Xuan'er, Su Cheng will naturally stand on Xuan'er's side, and the position of the prince is Xuan'er's bag.
What Li Guifei was thinking in her heart, of course Li Ruoxi knew.
"Auntie, how could Bai Ziyue be arrogant and agree to marry her brother."
This Li Guifei naturally knows.
"This palace will go to ask the emperor to ask the emperor to marry Zhi'er and Bai Ziyue, and the holy decree will not help her."
Li Ruoxi thought, will it be as smooth as her aunt expected?
Li Ruoxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she still didn't say anything.
Li Guifei looked at Li Ruoxi: "This palace knows that Xi'er likes the four princes, Bai Ziyue seems to be interested in the four princes, if Bai Ziyue marries Zhi'er, the four princes will be your people." ”
Li Ruoxi pursed her lips, she didn't think that without Bai Ziyue, the fourth prince would marry her.
"Okay, these things will be arranged in the palace, you go back first!"
After Li Ruoxi saluted Li Guifei, he left.
Back at the Nine Emperors' Mansion, Su Wan came directly to Xia Yunxi's room.
"She's not awake yet?"
Xing'er shook her head: "Not yet." ”
Su Wan frowned: "You go and rest first!" ”
"The slave is not tired, the princess, you just came back from the palace, you must be very tired, the princess, you go and rest first."
"I'm not tired."
"The slave maid will make some food for the princess."
Xing'er is an idle person, since she wants to do it, Su Wan will let her.
Su Wan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down.
Xia Yunxi's face was much better than before, but why didn't she wake up?
Su Wan twisted her eyebrows, blaming her for not being able to get home.
It was late at night, Su Wan was still reading medical books, Chu Mohan had already woken up, he sat up in a daze, and saw that Su Wan was still reading medical books.
"Wan'er, why don't you sleep yet."
Su Wan didn't even look at him: "I'll sleep later, if you're sleepy, you can sleep first." ”
Chu Mohan didn't continue to sleep, got up and got out of bed.
"Wan'er, you must be hungry, I'll make you something to eat."
Her stomach was indeed a little hungry, but it was just ...... Thinking of the "braised pork" that Chu Mohan made last time, Su Wan hurriedly grabbed him.
"I ...... I'm not hungry, you ......"
Before Su Wan's words were finished, her stomach screamed very uncooperatively.
Su Wan tugged at the corners of her mouth a little embarrassed.
No way, her stomach is indeed a little hungry, and she can't concentrate when she is hungry.
"Why don't I go make something to eat, are you hungry too?"
Chu Mohan nodded.
"Then you wait, I'll finish cooking the noodles."
She remembers that Apricot made some noodles during the day.
Coming to the kitchen, Su Wan looked around and found the noodles that Xing'er had made during the day.
Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Boiled noodles can be made by anyone.
Chu Mohan sat on the stool and looked in the direction of the door expectantly.
About half an hour later, Su Wan came in with two bowls of noodles.
Su Wan put the bowl on the table.
"Let's eat!"
Su Wan picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles, put them to her mouth and blew them, looked at Chu Mohan, saw that he was holding the chopsticks, and didn't pick up the noodles in the bowl for a long time.
"It doesn't look good, but it must taste good."
As she spoke, Su Wan took a bite of noodles.
Although the noodles are not so unpalatable, they are not very tasty, not only do they not taste at all, but they are also very soft and rotten.
But her stomach was too hungry.
I cooked my own noodles and ate them with tears in my eyes.
Su Wan was about to open her mouth and asked Chu Mohan not to eat it, the taste of this noodle was not very good.
However, before she could speak, Chu Mohan gulped down the noodles.
Chu Mohan's expression was as if he was eating some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and after a while, a bowl of clear water noodles was eaten by him.
The corners of Su Wan's mouth twitched, and she lowered her head to eat noodles.
After eating, Chu Mohan did not go to sleep, but accompanied Su Wan to read medical books.
Su Wan asked him to go to sleep first, and he said that he wanted to accompany her.
If he wants to accompany, then accompany him!
I don't know when, Su Wan fell asleep, and when she woke up, it was already dawn, and she didn't know when she was covered with a stall.
Su Wan thought that Chu Mohan should have put it on for her.
Looking around the room, Su Wan didn't see Chu Mohan.
Pushing open the door, the weather is fine today, and Apricot is packing her things.
Seeing her get up: "The princess, you wake up, the slave and maid will go and bring some food." ”
Su Wan asked, "What about the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”
"The Nine Emperors entered the palace early in the morning."
Su Wan asked again, "Hasn't Xia Yunxi woken up yet?" ”
Xing'er shook her head: "Not yet." ”
After a simple meal, Su Wan came to Xia Yunxi's room.
Today she plans to try the method of stimulating acupuncture points.
After piercing a few acupuncture points, Xia Yunxi still showed no signs of waking up.
"Princess Xia Liang's face is much better than before, why can't she wake up all the time, is it because she doesn't want to wake up."
Xing'er's unintentional words reminded Su Wan.
If a person loses hope of living, it will be the same as Xia Yunxi's current situation, although his body is fine, he will not be able to wake up for a long time.
Anyway, there was no other way, and Su Wan planned to try the method she had come up with.
She looked at Xia Yunxi, who was confined in her eyes, and said slowly: "I don't know why you can't wake up, but if you fall asleep like this, the four princes will get married." ”
