Chapter 201: Will
After hearing this, Ruan Guifei happily tightened Pei Tianyu's arm, leaned on him and said affectionately: "The emperor trusts the concubine so much, the concubine will definitely arrange it well, and the emperor will not be disappointed!" β
Seeing his beloved concubine showing such a naughty look rarely, Pei Tianyu laughed happily, stretched out his hand and pinched her little nose again.
"You, except for making tea on weekdays, I don't see you interested in anything, but now you are so proactive in arranging this dinner. Okay, since Concubine Ai said so, then I will give full authority to Concubine Ai, and I don't care. β
Ruan Guifei wrinkled her nose and pretended to be aggrieved and said, "The concubine just said it casually, the emperor, do you really leave it alone?" That concubine doesn't follow. For such an important dinner, the emperor needs to give more opinions. β
Pei Tianyu stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, well, since Concubine Ai needs me like this, I will definitely help well, Concubine Ai can rest assured." β
After receiving Pei Tianyu's assurance, Ruan Guifei smiled, leaned on him, and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Pei Tianyu hugged Ruan Guifei tightly, looked at the tea in front of him, which was gradually getting cold, and stopped talking.
Early the next morning, the nobles who left the country received a decree from the emperor himself, to the effect that Su Wanqing had made a meritorious service and helped the prince of Dongli Kingdom find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Some smart people thought of the emperor's will at once. It seems that this Miss Su is really very popular with the emperor, and she has just been named the lord of Heyue County, not to mention it, but now the emperor is still holding a banquet for her to entertain them, the palace nobles, the meaning behind this is already very obvious.
Which of those palace nobles is not a human spirit? Naturally, I know what the emperor means. When Su Wanqing was named the lord of Heyue County before, there was no voice from the people, after all, Su Wanqing was in the eyes of their people, and her reputation now is not as good as it was at the beginning, and now Su Wanqing is a very reliable and excellent woman in the eyes of the people.
In this world, what woman dares to divorce her fiancΓ© so boldly, and then find another excellent man in the blink of an eye? For many men, it is impossible to accept a woman who has been divorced, but the six princes they worship have accepted Su Wanqing and have been doubly fond of her.
The love of the six princes for the future six princesses can almost be said to be overflowing, without any concealment. Even the common people can feel it deeply, let alone those palace nobles?
At the beginning, not to mention those nobles, even the common people were very unoptimistic about these two people. After all, how could a divorced woman, who is so infatuated with the second prince, fall in love with another man in the blink of an eye? Many people think that Su Wanqing just accepted the sixth prince because she couldn't figure it out for a while, maybe just to provoke the second prince. But the second prince doesn't care about Su Wanqing at all, and now she is still following the eldest lady of the Feng family to raise her eyebrows, and Su Wanyue, who she likes, also married back home and became a side concubine, what is this not a typical winner in life?
On the other hand, Su Wanqing thought that she would be decadent and depressed, and even never marry for the rest of her life. But I didn't expect her to have a better marriage. Why is it better? The common people are all looking at it, although the sixth prince is now in a wheelchair and his appearance is ruined, but after all, his identity is there, and he is the most favored prince of the emperor today, who knows what will happen in the future?
What's more, now that Su Wanqing has been canonized as the lord of Heyue, these people don't dare to speculate about the will of the saint at will. But what is certain is that Su Wanqing still has a lot of weight in the heart of today's saints. Otherwise, the emperor would not have done so.
But on the other hand, this Su Wanqing does have a few brushes, otherwise it would not be possible to get the emperor's appreciation. Who is the emperor? He is the emperor who has left the country, what kind of woman has not been seen? But there are really few who can be appreciated by the emperor, and it can almost be said that there are none.
Therefore, when this will came out, many nobles who had looked down on Su Wanqing were a little unable to sit still. Is this Su Wanqing really so popular in front of the emperor?
When she promised to find the murderer for the prince of the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom, and when the emperor handed over the matter to her, many people didn't believe that she could find it. Then Su Wanqing was silent for so long, and many people laughed at her, thinking that she was just because she couldn't find the murderer, but because she accepted the emperor's will, she made an oath in front of so many people, so she hid and didn't dare to see anyone.
But what I didn't expect was that after so many months, Su Wanqing really found the murderer? This state of affairs caught everyone off guard.
Some people still stay on hearing about Su Wanqing's glorious deeds, and they don't really understand Su Wanqing, so they don't make any conclusions. But there are also some people who look down on Su Wanqing, thinking that Su Wanqing is just grandstanding, maybe the real murderer was found out by the six princes for her, she just followed the light.
But no matter what, since the emperor has made a will, they naturally have to abide by it. Who dares to challenge the majesty of the emperor?
What will happen to this dinner party, everyone does not know.
Su Wanqing received the holy decree sent by the emperor, and after seeing the contents inside, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Why is the emperor suddenly going to hold a banquet, didn't he say before that he would wait for the man in black to say something before he would reward me? How did such a thing suddenly come about? β
Pei Xiu, who was sitting next to Su Wanqing, glanced at the holy decree lightly, and said: "Most of this matter was not thought up by my father, my father is busy with state affairs day and night, where do I have the heart to think about these dinner things, most of them were thought out by that woman." β
The "woman" in Pei Xiu's mouth naturally refers to Ruan Guifei. In his eyes, the last time Ruan Guifei didn't succeed and sent those women into her Sixth Prince's Mansion, she must have held a grudge and was always looking for an opportunity to take revenge.
It's not that he thinks Ruan Guifei is so bad, that woman is like a poisonous snake, not to mention vicious, but also small-bellied, narrow-minded, and can't tolerate others provoking her like this.
If she provokes her authority, she will definitely do everything she can to get rid of those who provoke her.
In the past, there were many beautiful concubines living in the palace, but whenever Pei Tianyu went to stay in the palace of any concubine, that concubine would be quickly attacked by Ruan Guifei after that. Over the years, many of the deaths, injuries, and mutilations of those concubines were from Ruan Guifei.
Pei Xiu has lived in this palace since he was a child, and he has long seen through all this. It is precisely because of this that his dislike for Ruan Guifei will become more and more serious.
What's more, his mother was subjected to the same poisonous hand because of Ruan Guifei, how could Pei Xiu not hate it?
Hearing what Pei Xiu said, Su Wanqing naturally knew that she had also learned Ruan Guifei's methods, and naturally knew what kind of woman Ruan Guifei was.
But looking at Pei Xiu's expression, she must have remembered what happened at the beginning, she stretched out her hand and clenched Pei Xiu's slender fingers, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Her man showed such an expression, how could she not feel distressed? Originally, Pei Xiu could grow up safely, accompany his mother and concubine, and grow up healthy and happy.
But when he was young, he lost his beloved mother, and he didn't get too much attention from the emperor. This made him close his heart since he was a child, and after seeing so many filthy things in the palace, he could only choose to live in his own room, desperately become stronger, and work hard until the day he got ahead.
But that was just the beginning, the once beautiful Six Princes actually became a cripple because of a war, and their appearance was ruined.
Knowing that the person who hurt him was in this palace, Pei Xiu at that time was powerless, and he couldn't resist Ruan Guifei at all. What's more, at that time, his wings were not yet full, and he was still young, so it was impossible to compare with Ruan Guifei, who had already experienced a hundred battles.
Even if he could, there was still a big family behind Ruan Guifei, and there might be many forces that they didn't know about at all, secretly supporting Ruan Guifei.
Over the years, Pei Xiu has hidden his identity and strength, and he has been exploring these. Now, Ruan Guifei's hand is getting longer and longer, and it has reached herself, and she doesn't even let go of herself. Su Wanqing naturally knew her status in Pei Xiu's heart, and because of this, she felt even more sorry for Pei Xiu.
Originally, he could have done it without so many restraints. But because of himself, because of his own reasons, Pei Xiu gave up a lot of things. It is even an exaggeration to say that perhaps he gave up a lot of opportunities for revenge because of this.
But Su Wanqing never felt that she should not appear by Pei Xiu's side. In the dark, in fact, everything is providential, she doesn't feel that she is a burden, and Pei Xiu definitely doesn't want to think like this.
Therefore, she can only choose to become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can she better help Pei Xiu, become his right-hand man, and let him better fulfill his wishes.
Feeling Su Wanqing's warm fingers, Pei Xiu raised his head and withdrew from his memories.
Seeing her warm eyes, Pei Xiu's eyes gradually softened.
"Wanwan, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I'm fine."
Su Wanqing glared at Pei Xiu, then tilted her head a little angrily and said, "I'm not worried about you, I know you're fine." β
