Chapter 477: Wind and Rumors
Su Yan drank the wine without denying it, which was regarded as affirming Meng Li's conjecture.
"Since you have decided to repent of your marriage that day, and this matter was tacitly approved by your Emperor Dongzhao, why bother to do this, there are many criticisms in plain form."
"She won't care about this, what's more, it's better for the world to think that I have lost her than to say that she has lost me, she has endured too many grievances and prejudices for so many years, isn't it?"
"What about you?"
"Me?" Su Yan was a little surprised, looking at Meng Li's eyes, trying to make sure what he meant.
"Your emperor knows what happened, but others don't know, they will only think that you are willful, pampered and arrogant, and will even criticize you for being amorous and insulting to the Su family."
"I don't care anymore, in fact, I have already thought about it, after a few days, I will enter the palace to face the saint, and ask the emperor to withdraw the will to canonize the prince of the town on the grounds of disorderly behavior."
"Revoke the will?" Meng Li looked at Su Yan as if he was looking at a person with dementia, how could anyone beg to lower his knighthood and official position?
"Yes, since I 'made a mistake' and deserve to be punished, the emperor punished me, and the people in the court, especially the officials, can be quiet."
Meng Li seemed to see something: "Actually, you also want to use this excuse to push off the title of the Duke of Guo, right?" ”
Su Yan nodded generously, "If I had to marry Yun Yi and want to give her a better name, I would never accept the title of Duke at this time." At the beginning, my father was posthumously crowned the Duke of the Kingdom by the emperor, I am still young now, how can I be compared with my father, and then I will return to the army, establish more merits, for Dongzhao, for the emperor and Ah Yi, for the Su family, but also for myself, when I feel enough, I will personally invite the Zhenguo Gong to my hands. ”
Meng Li understood that Su Yan was not arrogant, nor did he deliberately refuse in anger, he was expected to be meritorious and powerful, but he wanted this position to be brought down by himself little by little, and not even a trace of side reasons.
"Okay, although it is a bit vulgar, I still wish General Su a triumphant battle and a step by step." As he spoke, Meng Li raised his wine glass and touched Su Yan's cup.
Su Yan also drank with a smile, and then asked, "What about you?" ”
"What else can I do, just an idler in heaven and earth, I'm really tired of being in Dongzhao during this time, it's time to go and wander elsewhere, if it weren't for Xiao Yiyi, how could I stay in one place for so long." Meng Li pursed his lips, his eyes full of complaints.
But Su Yan knew that everything he did was willing, Meng Li did hide it very well, but he could hide it from the people in the world, but only Su Yan, because they loved the same person, because they all loved her, because they also regarded guarding her as a part of their lives.
There is no need to find out many things and emotions, and it is enough to know oneself and empathize with oneself and tacitly.
And all they need is what's in the cup in front of them.
"One more altar!"
"No, two altars!"
At the wedding banquet of Princess Anhe and Prince Shu, the two sat down together, and after honoring all the guests present, they sat down together at the emperor's head.
Among the male guests in the audience, starting from the most important princes, they got up one by one to toast a couple of newlyweds.
If you look closely, you can find that the noble ladies and wives between the staggered women actually have different eyes, some are sincerely blessed, some are curious and inquisitive, and naturally there are also red eyes and jealousy.
Speaking of which, Princess Anhe was still a quasi-duchess a few days ago, but she was withdrawn by Su Yan on the day of the wedding, whether it was a lot of gossip among the people and the court, at first some people said that she always held the shelf of the eldest princess to make it difficult for the future husband to accept, and some people said that it was Xiqiong that angered the Zhenguo Mansion, and later it was even worse, saying that it was because Princess An and Princess had no chance to have children, you must know the royal marriage, if a woman can't give birth is a taboo, let alone the future mother of the Zhenguo Mansion?
But within a day, rumors flowed out in the market: This General Su is a talented man and has great achievements, but who has not been a hero since ancient times?
The implication is that Su Yan is romantic, although he seems to be well-behaved and less feminine on weekdays, but in private he is very casual and casual, and the storyteller is true: "General Su and Princess An He were ruthless at the beginning, but it was just a miscommunication, and the soft-spoken and charming children that our General Su likes are not heroines!" ”
Saying this, everyone thinks of the original Chu County Lord Chu Wu, although the entire Chu clan is a rebel sinner, but General Su seems to be with Chu Wu from time to time, it seems that General Su and Princess Anhe knew each other in the early years is indeed a rumor.
As a result, the public opinion among the officials and relatives in the city began to favor the side of Princess An and the princess, and as women, they sympathized with Mu Yunyi, after all, they failed to marry twice, which was really a great blow to the woman, not to mention that the little grandfather of the Su family did not shy away from looking for flowers and willows, which was really excessive!
But after a few days, Princess An He turned into Prince Shu, and the true identity of Prince Shu is clear to everyone, and the wedding of the two is even more troubled by the emperor himself, Princess An He instantly became hot again in Shangling City, so some people who were still sympathetic to Mu Yunyi before instantly changed their faces again.
People are like this, they always seem to be more kind to the poor and disadvantaged, and once the other person surpasses him, the former kindness will turn into jealousy and meanness.
For example, a young woman in the women's seat at this moment said: "A few days ago, everyone rumored that General Su misbehaved and was ashamed of Princess Anhe, but now it seems that Princess Anhe is the most unsimple woman. What if she was a princess? ”
Coincidentally, Su Wu was about to go outside to breathe, passed by the woman's side, stopped her words word for word in her ears, and after a closer look, she recognized that it was Qiao's, the second daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
And Qiao's also saw Su Ao, and secretly thought in his heart that what he had just said was clearly towards Su Io's brother General Su, so Su Ting would be happy, and even take the initiative to get close to herself, after all, who among the noble ladies in Shangling City didn't want to be close friends with Su Io?
Thinking like this, Qiao Shi stepped forward and approached Su Wu as if he was an outsider, and said, "Miss Su is polite." ”
Unexpectedly, Su Wu didn't return the gift at all, and only glanced at her: "The second lady of the Qiao family is beautiful, and her eloquence is not bad." ”
However, this Qiao didn't hear the sarcasm in Su Wan's words at all, but said more confidently: "Where is Miss Su, this is just Yun'er's sincere words, this Princess Anhe, it is not a trouble-free thing at first glance, otherwise how could she climb Prince Shu again in a few days?" ”
