Chapter Seventy-Five: At the Dinner Table
Finally, the group entered the private room and began to eat.
Su Xiaoyan ate this meal very uncomfortable. Although listening to the dishes of Songlou, it is undeniable that it is indeed the most delicious existence in the entire capital. But this eating environment was so depressing that Su Xiaoyan lost his appetite.
It was obviously an ordinary family and friends dinner, but because of the addition of Ye Chen and Su Yu, the whole table looked like a formal dinner. Su Xiaoyan was very aggrieved, and although Bai Yu and Chen Xin were also very uncomfortable, they didn't dare to express it. Only Ye Feng, because he is still playing the identity of a fool, can be a little more casual.
Ye Chen could naturally feel the embarrassment of the atmosphere. In fact, he doesn't want to be like this, it's just that he is relatively indifferent and doesn't like to take the initiative to find topics with people he doesn't know well. So just with Ye Feng, the two brothers said something to each other, of course, the main thing was that Ye Chen cared about Ye Feng as a big brother.
As for Su Yu, she is the creator of the current atmosphere, although she is dignified on the face and has the elegant demeanor of a princess, she does not show such calmness on her face in her heart.
She looked at Su Xiaoyan and the others eating so aggrievedly, and she couldn't figure out what to do.
In fact, this situation has been bothering her for a long time, and it has started since she joined the Chengwang Mansion.
In the past, when she was in the Su family, Su Jin invited many people to teach her the dining etiquette and proper appearance of a lady or even a princess at the table. In addition, Su Jin did not allow the Bai family to have too much contact with his daughter, saying that it would miss their future. Over time, Su Yu only learned how to get along as a princess or a wife and daughter-in-law on various occasions until she got married, but she didn't learn a little bit from Su Jin and Bai how to get along with her family.
After marrying into the Chengwang Mansion, Su Yu also had a few meals with Ye Chen, but every time it was time to eat, it was obviously a very ordinary home-cooked meal, but Su Yu still didn't dare to make a mistake according to the rules taught by Su Jin and Mama before. Ye Chen, a person who is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, how could he like such a dining environment. If it's at the palace banquet, it's okay, anyway, it's not a few times a year, and you can endure it, but if you have to eat with your wife like this, Ye Chen will definitely not be able to stand it. So, after a few times, Ye Chen and Su Yu never ate together again. Even in the palace, there is no intersection in life.
Indeed, under Su Jin's teaching, the daughters of the Su family, especially the concubines, are definitely a good match in marriage. He has a good background, good etiquette, and the most important thing is to know how to get along with his in-laws. When a man goes out or attends a banquet, he feels more face-saving when he takes it with him.
But, apart from that, they are no different from vases.
Just like at this time, although Su Yu's heart was either flustered, confused, or at a loss, but in terms of face, she was still the beautiful and dignified princess Cheng.
On Ye Feng's side, although the relationship with the queen is not good, and even a little hateful, the relationship with Ye Chen, the fourth brother, is still very good. I remember when I was a child, the queen didn't want to be nice to him because she adopted him. It's okay in front of people, but once something doesn't go well in the back, they will take Ye Feng out of anger. And as long as the fourth brother is there, he will protect him and prevent the queen from succeeding. Even if the queen used the throne and power to tempt Ye Chen to change his temperament, Ye Chen was still the special existence who was like a fairy and indifferent to fame and fortune. Besides, he was the only one in the entire palace who didn't discriminate against him because he was stupid. This point gave Ye Feng, who had lived an endless dark life in the palace, great comfort and the courage to live.
Therefore, even if the queen may have something to do with the matter of the mother concubine back then, the queen wanted to kill Su Xiaoyan, but Ye Feng never turned against Ye Chen, nor did he anger Ye Chen. In his heart, the affairs of the fourth brother are the affairs of the fourth brother, and the affairs of the queen are also the affairs of the queen, which is clearly distinguished.
Ye Feng had actually noticed Su Yu's uneasiness. Su Yu's face is indeed good, but who is Ye Feng, he is a first-class master who has insight into people's hearts, and he has already seen through Su Yu's heart.
To be honest, when he agreed to marry Su Xiaoyan, a big reason was actually Su Yu.
Su Yu's decency and sense of proportion that will never be exceeded are something he has always known and seen with his own eyes. At that time, he thought about it, since Emperor Tianyuan would definitely arrange a marriage for him, it was better to marry a woman like Su Yu, and he would not bother with it.
thought that since Su Xiaoyan was Su Yu's own sister, it would naturally not be bad, so he agreed. Who would have thought that Su Xiaoyan would be completely different from Su Yu and surprise him everywhere. Ye Feng was really grateful for the decision he made at the beginning, although the motive was not pure, but the result was very satisfactory to him.
When the meal was about to end, Su Yu finally wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, Su Xiaoyan saw this, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Su Yu say to her: "Ah Yan, is Princess Pingyang good?" ”
Su Xiaoyan was speechless, she really convinced her eldest sister, and she didn't even ask her as her own sister at all, she insisted on caring from the high and low positions.
Su Xiaoyan was not angry, but he also tried his best to make his tone gentle, the husband is still here, although it can be seen that there is no affection between the two of them, but it is really not good to bump into the princess in front of a prince like this, and said: "It should be okay, the poison has been solved, but the face is ruined." ”
Su Xiaoyan originally thought that he would see anger on Su Yu's face, because this kind of talk was not in line with her identity as a princess, but to Su Xiaoyan's surprise, Su Yu was not angry, but felt like a long sigh of relief, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed. Hey? Su Yu suddenly came back to life?
I don't know if Su Xiaoyan married into the royal family, but Su Yu is very clear, the reason why Princess Pingyang is so favored by Emperor Tianyuan is because of her face that is exactly the same as Wei Yu's, so she is so arrogant in the palace, and Su Yu has been bullied by Princess Pingyang before. I couldn't stand it before, so I begged Ye Chen to take her out of the capital with me. In fact, it is not a dead beggar in vain, at the beginning, she just mentioned it, and Ye Chen directly agreed, but even so, Su Yu still felt that her status in Ye Chen's heart might be declining again.
But what Su Yu didn't expect was that this trip to the capital was her first time out of Beijing, which eased the relationship between her and Ye Chen a lot. Probably because of the ghost place of the capital, Su Yu's nature actually came out a little, he would express his opinion, and he would disagree with him, Ye Chen finally felt a trace of the liveliness and vigor that a woman of this age should have in Su Yu's body. Ye Chen felt that sometimes looking at it like this, Su Yu was not bad.
As a result, as soon as he returned to the capital, Su Yu returned to the pre-liberation period, and the vitality that he had managed to raise before was gone. When Ye Chen thought of this, a trace of loss crossed his originally indifferent eyes, and Ye Feng, who happened to be acting happily, saw it.
