Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Climax of the Banquet

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's face changed slightly, but she quickly adjusted again, and quietly let Mrs. Zhang hold her hand.

"It's rare to have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Xiao, so I came over to chat with Mrs. Xiao. It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang's friendship with Mrs. Xiao is as deep as your friendship, just like Miss Zhang was able to get married today, and she must have received a lot of help from Mrs. Xiao. ”

What does this mean?

Su Jiao's eyes widened unconsciously, and she always felt that when she said this, it was as if she had harmed Zhang Yuge to marry Xu Rulie.

"Don't bother Mrs. Laurin, this matter was decided by the queen mother herself, and Mrs. Xiao and I only got acquainted through the sake of my sister, Countess Yong'an, and we don't rely on any exchange of interests, so I really can't afford Mrs. Lin's words."

Mrs. Zhang's face did not change, and in just a few words, Mrs. Lin's words just now were shattered.

When the words landed, Su Jiao, who was still a party and became an outsider at this moment, couldn't help but listen to it with interest, and sure enough, the ancient people's ability to people was really not covered.

"What Mrs. Zhang said is very true, but I think about it, ah, the queen mother is here, I will miss the company first, the two of you, please."

Mrs. Lin saw that Su Jiao was alone, and most of the people in the court were dissatisfied with Xiao Huai'an, but she couldn't do anything about Xiao Huai'an, so she thought about coming over to find trouble with Su Jiao.

But with Mrs. Zhang's help, it was really hard for her to compete with the two, so she found an excuse to give herself a step down.

"I thought I shouldn't have offended these people, why do they always come here intentionally or unintentionally?" Su Jiao looked at Mrs. Lin's distant back, and recalled in her mind that there was no similar thing mentioned in either the book or the memory of the original body.

"But I still have to thank Mrs. Zhang for your righteous words and thank you for your help."

"Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to be polite, I just have some empathy." For today's marriage, whether it is Zhang Yuge or Hubu, they have actually been ridiculed by outsiders, and Mrs. Zhang is also powerless to return to the sky, so it is rare to be casual.

"Although Mrs. Xiao treats people well, she is just innocent and guilty, and there will be many things like this in the future, Mrs. Xiao must take care." Mrs. Zhang sighed resentfully in her heart, and after reminding Su Jiao, she also planned to leave, but was stopped by Su Jiao.

"Mrs. Zhang, please stay."

When Mrs. Zhang heard the voice, she saw Su Jiao's eyes sincerely and humbly asked, "I admire Mrs. Zhang's ability to maintain a sober judgment when she is in a depressed mood, and I also thank Mrs. Zhang for her reminder, but it is useless to know that it is useless to be careful, and it is necessary to know that you know the other." ”

"So dare to ask Mrs. Zhang, the one who came to speak just now, does the official secretary have any holiday with me and Huai'an?"

"Why do you need to have any holidays, you are not friends or rivals in the DPRK and China." Mrs. Zhang asked her a little bit of incomprehension, but thinking that Su Jiao was a worry-free young lady before, it was reasonable not to understand, so she stopped and explained to her.

"As far as I know, Lord Shang Shulin of the Ministry of Officials doesn't care much about the prince's affairs, but it is common for him to compete with others for merit in the court, so Mrs. Xiao doesn't have to feel strange."

"The only unfortunate thing is that Master Su, as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, is under the hands of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, but I am afraid that Mrs. Xiao will be a little embarrassed for this matter in the future." Mrs. Zhang said, and she didn't forget to reach out and pat Su Jiao's arm to make her come back to her senses.

"I see, thank you Mrs. Zhang for your advice." Su Jiao listened for a while, and reluctantly divided the official department into a neutral party first.

As for Lord Su's side, just because of Su Lian, the family has already been turned upside down, even if there are more political affairs involved, it doesn't necessarily matter where it goes, so you don't have to worry too much.

At the same time, with the support of Dequan and Xiao Huai'an, the emperor returned to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to rest, but he was not in a hurry to let Dequan wait for him to bathe and change clothes and sleep.

"Dequan, I still have some things to discuss with Xiao Huai'an, the banquet outside is not over yet, you go over there to watch, and by the way, tell the queen, don't tell the ministers to stay too late."

The emperor closed his eyes and crooked in front of the table, pressing his forehead with one hand, obviously reluctant to say more. Dequan stood beside him, his brows furrowed slightly, his face full of worry.

"But Your Majesty has no one around to serve you, so it's not good to ask Lord Xiao to come."

"It's okay, you can go." The emperor waved his hand and interrupted before Dequan could finish speaking.

Dequan had no choice, bowed his waist and took two steps back, turned around and stood beside Xiao Huai'an and said respectfully, "Then there is Lord Lao Xiao." ”

"Father-in-law walks slowly." Xiao Huai'an returned the gift.

After saying that, Dequan straightened up, glanced at the emperor with some concern, and reluctantly went out, but suddenly changed his face, and called his godsons on both sides to follow him and walked to the palace where the banquet was held in front.

"In the past few years, there have been more and more people like me around, but this is also old, and I don't want to care about these chores anymore, so let them go." With a word, the emperor asked Xiao Huai'an to take back his suspicious gaze at the door.

"Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, why bother to say such things, Your Majesty will live forever."

"Heh, you don't have to say this kind of thing to make me happy, I know that I have wronged you all these years." The Emperor chuckled and put his hand down, but he completely lost the drunken appearance he had at the banquet.

"By the way, I asked Su Jiao to marry you, do you still like it, has she ever done anything inappropriate?"

When it comes to Su Jiao, Xiao Huaian can unconsciously think of many faces about her, which are different from the well-behaved in front of outsiders, but the cleverness of her true and smooth heart.

"No, Your Majesty, rest assured, although she was born in the Su family, she has not been infected with any bad habits."

"In this way, this can be relieved, and it can be regarded as some compensation for you over the years." When the emperor heard this, he was convinced of Xiao Huai'an's words.

Xiao Huai'an raised his head and looked into the emperor's eyes, his emotions were unclear, and he lowered his head after a while, "Your Majesty is serious, and Weichen is ashamed." ”

On the other side, as early as when he was just at the banquet, Dequan's godson found that a servant from the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion had entered the palace.

Worried that something would happen outside, Dequan specially asked someone to stop him, and he got the news about the Three Princes' Mansion. Dequan was shocked, for fear that if the emperor knew about this matter, the emperor would be furious, so he tried to find a way to take the emperor away.

Fortunately, the emperor suddenly asked him to return to the banquet, although he didn't like Xiao Huai'an's face in front of the emperor, but he was more worried that something would happen to the queen, so he hurried and sent someone to inform the queen.

Unfortunately, the queen was socializing with the wives of many ministers at this time, and this little eunuch did not have the sophistication of Dequan, so he rushed in coldly, so the queen's face immediately fell.

"Niangniang is not good, something happened to the third prince." The first words that made the little eunuch speak made the queen even more angry.

"You," the queen was angry, but when she heard the little eunuch come forward to report the news she had gotten, she panicked for a moment and almost didn't know whether to appease people first or lose her temper.

"Rulie, how could he be so disproportionate and do such a thing." The queen shouted angrily in a low voice, telling the little eunuch to bow her head aggrievedly, and retreat and dare not say more.

After a while, the queen came back to her senses, looked at the large group of inexplicable ladies of the family in front of her, and squeezed out a dignified smile again.

"It's just some trivial matters, ladies don't have to be nervous, the palace has to be with you in advance, you are at your own convenience, it's just that the princess of Earl Yong'an will come with the palace."

The princess was stunned for a moment, glanced at the others, and then resolutely followed.

Outside the palace, the countess was drunk and woke up by blowing the wind on the edge of the flower bed, and it happened that Su Jiao also felt bored, so she came out to relax, and the two of them met.

"It's really a coincidence that Mrs. Xiao and I always feel that Mrs. Xiao has a lot of familiar looks on her, and the two of us really have a good heart."

The countess is not very old, looking at her early thirties, she is a few years older than her modern self, but compared with Su Jiao in this world, she is the same age as Mrs. Su.

The difference between these two ages gave Su Jiao a very magical feeling, and she was also very inexplicably close to the countess.

"The Countess is chic and casual, I envy it very much, and I hope I can be as warm as you."

"Madame Xiao is polite," the countess covered her mouth and smiled, although she smiled without showing her teeth, Su Jiao could still see her snow-white teeth between her fingers.

Seeing this, Su Jiao couldn't help but feel happy for her, the two of them were talking, and they didn't want to hear that behind the big cang tree in the corner in front of them, there seemed to be someone talking.

"Today's matter is indeed Rulie's rudeness, and I hope that after the princess goes back, she will persuade the prince of Yong'an, and this palace will deal with this matter."

"Sounds like the voice of the Queen?" The countess was stunned for a moment, and then walked over with Su Jiao.

There was also a circle of neatly trimmed one-man tall bushiflower trees under the big cangshu, and the Countess and Su Jiao stood here, just enough to block their figures.

Then through the gaps in the lush foliage, the two could clearly see in front of them, in addition to the queen, there was also the princess of Yong'an and a little eunuch.

The princess of Yong'an was slender, holding a handkerchief with her two hands interlaced, her eyes were firm, but her mouth said hazyly, "There is Queen Lao's mother's trouble, and the three princes are just in love, and the Earl's Mansion and the household department are not incomprehensible, but it is inevitable that it will not go well because of what the three princes do." ”

"Sister Yuge is the treasure of Mrs. Zhang and her mother-in-law, if you have any concerns in the future, it will be chaotic and rude, please don't mind the queen."

"This is natural, the palace will specially call the princess to speak, and I hope this incident will not happen again." The queen vaguely heard what the princess meant, and was even more worried that it was really self-defeating, so she became more and more determined in her future plans.
