Chapter 12: Before Entering the Palace
"Catkins ......"
A hoarse and weak voice came from the curtain, and the catkins answered the call and shouted out the door, "Miss, get up and prepare hot water." ”
Carefully helped Su Xiangsi to sit up: "Miss's face is not very good, I'll go to the doctor to take a look." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk out.
Su Xiangsi hurriedly grabbed the catkins: "No need, just rest more, so as not to worry my father and mother." ”
The catkins listened to this before they gave up.
Rosin Xiang came in with hot water, which made Su Xiangsi wipe her face and feel much more energetic: "The eldest lady and the second lady have been sitting outside for a while. ”
Su Xiangsi didn't dare to delay, and after a simple freshening, he hurried outside without taking care of breakfast.
"You two seem to be arrogant and indulgent, and my sister didn't tell me to get up sooner when she came." sat down in the first place and whispered a few times to the rosin and catkins beside him, and turned his head to Su Qing and Su Yiling full of apologies: "I made the two sisters wait for a long time, and I couldn't rest well last night." ”
Catkins and rosin hung their heads and did not dare to squeak.
"It's only a short period of effort, yesterday my sister went to my grandfather's house and came back, rumors spread outside, my second sister and I didn't feel at ease and came to see you." For the first time, Su Qing learned that Miss Boudoir could sleep fast until three poles a day, and she was glad that she didn't come early and only waited for tea.
When Su Xiangsi mentioned his grandfather's family, his eyes dimmed, and he sighed heavily: "My mother followed my father without hesitation and made my grandfather angry, and after so much time, I thought that my grandfather's anger had disappeared, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect to see my grandfather yesterday. ”
Su Yiling and Su Qing glanced at each other with different expressions, and comforted softly: "Parents all over the world love their children, the third sister doesn't have to be too sad, I believe that Lord Shangshu will figure it out one day." ”
"What my sister said is that my mother also knew that she was impulsive at that time, and she already planned to stay in the capital to fulfill her filial piety to my grandfather's family." Su Xiangsi sadly took the handkerchief and gently pressed it on her face two or three times, and the soft branches wanted to learn well, and some people were crying pitifully on the surface, and they were about to pinch their thighs behind their backs.
"It just so happens that my sisters are here, and my grandfather asked me to attend the palace banquet this year, and the palace rules have to trouble my sisters to give me more advice." Su Xiangsi felt that it was almost over, and threw them another message.
Su Qing was born brightly, and when she heard Su Xiangsi's words, this smile was simply moving: "What's the trouble with this, my sister must be dazzling when she goes to the palace banquet for the first time." If it is included in the harem, it will be a happy event for the glorious lintel. ”
"Sister, don't talk nonsense, if you will be included in the harem, now I will go and push this palace banquet with my grandfather." Su Xiangsi was so nervous that she almost knocked over the tea.
"Big sister is teasing you. There are many officials and ministers at the palace banquet, and they may not see us. Su Yiling covered her mouth and snickered.
"At that time, I would be more at ease with my two sisters."
Su Xiangsi was grateful, listened carefully to Su Qing and Su Yiling about the rules of the palace, and occasionally interrupted to ask some questions that she didn't understand.
An hour passed between the three of them talking and laughing, and it was still Rosin who reminded her young lady that she hadn't eaten until she got up, and the three sisters realized that time passed quickly.
"Look at us, we're really confused, we've delayed the third sister for so long." Su Yiling got up and straightened her dress, Su Qing was embarrassed to stay longer when she saw this, and got up.
"How often sisters move around each other, I don't keep my sisters. Catkins, send the two sisters out. ”
When the two figures walked away, Su Xiangsi lay on the bed without any image, and she was really tired from acting.
Su Qing and Su Yiling walked slowly side by side in the small garden, and the family carefully pruned it, and the winter scenery of Jiangjunfu Road had a unique taste.
"Grandfather still loves the third sister the most." Su Qing was holding the hand warmer, and her tone was tinged with a sour smell that was not easy to wipe.
Su Yiling still heard it, and said indifferently: "The third sister is pitiful, and my grandfather should be in more pain." Besides, the third sister's age can be married, so she should take it out more. ”
What Su Qing was most worried about, Su Yiling mentioned it.
Su Qingjiao laughed: "At that time, I'm afraid that the threshold of our mansion will be broken." ”
"My sister is right, if we marry a good husband, we will have to be stained with light in the future." Su Yiling raised her eyebrows and replied.
"Ah, there's still soup in the kitchen, so I've got to send it to my grandfather." Su Qing was annoyed, she forgot about such a big thing.
"Sister, let's go, don't miss my grandfather's lunch."
The sisters bowed to each other and left on their own paths.
Back in Youlan Courtyard, the Song family had ordered someone to set up the meal and wait for her to come back. Su Yiling understands the ambition of the Song family, but compared to the Zhao family, the Song family is better at being a good mother than the Zhao family.
Su Yiling used lunch to explain to the Song family that she was listening to the news she knew in the Bamboo Courtyard. I didn't see my mother's response for a long time, and I looked over puzzled.
Song pursed his lips in contemplation, and Su Yiling did not bother.
"It's the eldest lady's turn to go to the palace banquet this year, I'm afraid we can't go to the second room." The Song family expressed their worries, and Su Yiling also knew how important it was to enter the palace.
"What is Mother's plan?"
"Ling'er, don't worry, you just need to dress up and show your face in front of the emperor." Song's mind made a few detours.
My mother promised to participate in the palace banquet, and I felt a lot more relieved.
Only you know what you want to see in your heart.
There were guards in front of General Su's study, and General Su's entourage stood motionless in front of the door.
Squinted and saw a fluttering dress in the corner, and then looked at it, and the curling figure came.
It's the eldest lady.
"Grandfather is here? I thought it would be time for lunch and bring some soup to my grandfather to taste and taste the appetizers. The friendly and crisp sound was like a warm breeze blowing into the hearts of the people present.
"The eldest lady has a heart, and she sent it in person when it was cold and slippery." The attendant politely replied and reached out to take the food box in the maid's hand.
Su Qing turned sideways and slightly blocked the food box, and the entourage had no choice but to withdraw his hand: "By the way, come and say hello to my grandfather." Although my grandfather feels sorry for me, I should also be filial. ”
Having said this, the attendant had no choice but to open the curtain and invite her in.
Su Qing raised her eyebrows, took the food box in the maid's hand and carried her skirt in.
Curtly at the desk: "Greetings to grandfather." ”
General Su's martial arts practitioners, the sound outside can be heard clearly. Seeing Su Qing come in, he waved casually and asked her to sit down on the side.
When I opened the food box, the aroma was overflowing, and I really felt a little hungry after taking a deep breath.
A bowl was filled and sent to General Su: "I heard from my grandmother that my grandfather didn't have a good rest when he came back, and my granddaughter was really worried." ”
"You children are the pride of your grandfather, and the General's Mansion will depend on you in the future." I took the soup, took a sip and felt that the taste was acceptable, so I took a few sips in succession.
"What my grandfather said is that we are all for the General's Mansion. I just came from the third sister and I haven't been able to try the taste, but the soup is still to my grandfather's appetite? ”
"Let Si'er go to the palace banquet this time, and you sisters can go further by supporting each other." General Su said intriguingly, and Su Qing was uncomfortable.
"Worried that Si'er has stolen the limelight from you?" Old General Su said coldly. Su Qing was so frightened that she didn't know how to answer.
But he also reacted very quickly, and muttered angrily: "I didn't expect my grandfather to think of me like this, if I'm worried that I won't have to teach her the rules of the palace this morning." ”
General Su retracted his meaningful gaze, claiming that he had said the wrong thing and rewarded some gadgets. After drinking the soup cleanly, Su Qing was satisfied, and left with the food box.
Su Qing hurriedly returned to Qingmei Courtyard after delivering the soup, and before she could take off her cloak, she didn't care about lunch, and hurriedly told the Zhao family what she knew.
"I went to say hello to the third aunt this morning, my face and spirit were not good, and I was depressed. I couldn't say a word. ”
"If you can't see Lord Shangshu's face, can you stay inside for two more hours?" Zhao Shi thought thoughtfully, "Mrs. Shangshu is soft-hearted and forgives Li Qinse, then Shangshu Mansion will recognize this daughter sooner or later." ”
"Now if you want to solve Su Xiangsi, you have to think long-term." Su Qing still couldn't understand why she missed when she was in Puluo Mountain.
According to the words of Su Xiangsi and Princess Duanyi, they didn't meet those killers at all, but really bandits. King Yu couldn't wait for someone to answer, so he sent to check it and found the body, and felt that something was wrong, so he happened to save her and Su Yiling.
And the thief's threat to take revenge made her even more inexplicable, she had never made a feud with a good relationship, besides, only she knew what was going on with Miss Jin Anhou's incident.
In short, let Su Xiangsi escape.
