However, in fact, the lotus pond is the shortest way to the Red Plum Pavilion, and if other ministers want to show their faces in front of the emperor, they will choose to come from the long street outside the garden, and they may be able to meet the emperor's sedan chair.

But Su Jiao and Xiao Huai'an didn't need to be so troublesome, so they planned to come here to enjoy the scenery by the way, but they didn't expect to run into the eldest princess Xu Ruru, who had been talking about it from afar.

Xu Ruru was dressed very delicately, but she held her elbows with both hands, her face was angry, and she looked very sullen, and a large group of palace people behind her chased her over on the water corridor on the lotus pond with a bitter face, and Xu Ruru was reluctant to stand still after speaking, and Luo Ying also followed her to persuade her.

"The princess is angry, the county lord of Pingcheng does like to bully people, and he used to rob the princess's favorite kite, and no one in this palace likes her, but now I can't find anyone who can sit next to the princess with this qualification, or the princess should go over and take a look, and let's make another arrangement."

"Don't try to lie to me, you think that this princess doesn't know, you like to follow them to coax this princess over, and let this princess face Zhou Hongyan's stinky face."

Luo Ying can be regarded as the most trusted palace person around the eldest princess, if she can't even speak, let alone others, let alone be able to persuade Xu Ruru.

However, in addition to these palace maids, they were also uncomfortable, and Su Jiao, who was standing across the water from Xu Ruru, felt extremely embarrassed after listening to the whole process.

Su Jiao hesitated for a moment, exchanged a look with Xiao Huai'an, and then decided to walk forward slowly.

"The courtier/micro-minister has seen the princess, I haven't seen her for many days, the princess is more and more glamorous and moving, and now that the banquet is about to start, the courtiers will retire first."

"Stop." Sure enough, with the little princess's prejudice against Su Jiao, she took the initiative to come forward to say hello, and she was only left to find fault.

Su Jiao's face was helpless, although she knew that Xu Ruru would not do anything out of the ordinary, but this feeling of not being up or down was even more difficult to deal with. "I wonder what else the princess commands?"

"Don't think that you can cover up the harm you did to my third brother before in front of this princess, let me tell you, if it weren't for Xiao Huai'an's face, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to enter this palace."

Xu Ruru raised her chin high, and tried to vent all her sullen feelings about these palace maids on Su Jiao with a rebellious and natural expression. However, Su Jiao looked at her tone that was so close to a bluff, but she only felt that she wanted to laugh.

"The princess doesn't know that the courtier's father is an official of the Ministry of Officials, and he is an official of the third grade."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ruru was speechless for a while, and then turned into annoyance, and gently patted the railing with one hand, "This princess naturally knows, and she still needs to say it, what this princess said is that you marry someone else......"

"Eldest Princess." Xiao Huai'an coughed, Xu Ruru's eyes were not good just now, and she completely ignored herself, but what did she want to say Su Jiao to marry someone else, he suddenly couldn't help it.

Xiao Huai'an usually has a straight face, and the aura of the whole person looks very fierce, who else is it, I am afraid that I will tremble with fright. Su Jiao was even more worried that he would suddenly take the initiative to take the initiative to take the initiative to be serious about this eldest father, but Xu Ruru turned her head and glanced at him lightly, still going her own way, without the slightest fear, even if she pretended.

"What are you doing, this princess is just saying a few words, don't you want to teach this princess a lesson?"

Xu Ruru still never put down her arrogant and cute chin, and in the face of Xiao Huai'an's attitude, according to Su Jiao's cold eyes beside her, she only felt that Xu Ruru's awe of herself far exceeded Xiao Huai'an.

Such a peculiar differential treatment is really amazing, and Su Jiao doesn't think that this is the inexplicable sense of superiority that Xu Rulie can bring to Xu Ruru.

And not only that, but Xiao Huai'an's attitude is also worth playing, he had a straight expression at first, and after hearing Xu Ruru's words, his face inexplicably softened a little, and even took the initiative to nod and agree, almost opening his mouth wide in fright to Su Jiao next to him.

"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen just wants to remind the princess that the banquet is about to start, Wechen needs to take his wife over, and ask the princess to raise her noble hand, don't be entangled anymore."

"Hmph," Hearing this, Xu Ruru snorted lightly from her nose, noncommittal to Xiao Huai'an's words, but her eyes couldn't bear to look him up and down.

"I didn't expect you to be quite powerful, Xiao Huai'an usually wears clothes like an old-fashioned old man, but today he is a lot more energetic."

Although he said this by looking at Xiao Huai'an, he meant that everyone who was present knew it, and Su Jiao looked helpless and bowed her head slightly.

"The princess is polite, she just wants to leave a good impression in front of the foreign envoys, and she doesn't have to lose my face."

"It's true, it's their honor to think that they can be attached to our dynasty as a small country, and they are still so hypocritically entangled, it's just cheap and good."

"That's okay, if you want to go, hurry up, this princess is too lazy to see you."

This princess's brain circuit is really fast enough, and she still has a feeling of meeting a confidant before, and then she will say a few more words, and then she will drive people away.

Su Jiao opened her mouth slightly and smiled lightly, "Well, yes, the courtiers are retiring." ”

When the words landed, Su Jiao turned around and pouted, pulling Xiao Huai'an away a little longer, before she couldn't stand it and whispered. "Why were you so polite to the princess just now, weren't you quite fair and strict and upright before?"

"I don't really understand what you mean." Xiao Huai'an raised his eyebrows, Su Jiao's words were inexplicable, so that he didn't know which sentence to answer from.

"That is, are you interested in this little princess, or do you pity her?" Before Su Jiao finished speaking, Xiao Huai'an scolded in a low voice, her eyes narrowed, and she barely said the second half of the sentence.

"Nonsense." Fortunately, Xiao Huai'an's tone was quite polite, so that Su Jiao and the three maids behind him were startled, but they were not afraid.

Xiao Huai'an also realized that his reaction might have been a little excessive, so he gently patted Su Jiao's shoulder and explained as he walked. "The eldest princess is not a bad person, her biological mother is not favored in the palace, so her temperament will be particularly strong, she is not forgiving in her mouth, but she will not be hated, not to mention why I have to worry about a little daughter."

Listening to this, how can there be a kind of spoiling of the elders for the juniors, Su Jiao turned her head slightly, the two guesses just now were just casual remarks, but at this time, she had a bolder conjecture.

Thinking about it, when she was about to arrive outside the Hongmei Pavilion Palace, Su Jiao raised her head coldly and whispered, "Do you particularly want to have a daughter, it's quite rare to be as patriarchal as you." ”

The degree of change in this topic is not inferior to Xu Ruru, Xiao Huai'an couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, so he simply stood up and lowered his head slightly, and asked ambiguously.

"When you say that, are you planning to give birth to one for me?"

"you!" Su Jiao blinked, giving him a warm breath on his face, only to feel that his forehead and cheeks were hot.

Xiao Huai'an raised his head with a smile, barely returned to his usual appearance, and spoke leisurely. "There's nothing wrong with a daughter, a man is born with responsibilities and missions, and his daughter may be able to live a more comfortable life."

"It's like adopting a son to be fostered under his name, Su Lian can successfully become the second miss of the Su family, a man, maybe he will be forced to separate his family."

"Why does it always feel like you're referring to something?" Su Jiao pursed her mouth, recalling that it was mentioned in the original book that Xu Ruru finally married her relatives, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her.

"The daughter is the most pitiful, if she is favored, it is fine, if she is not favored, it is a bargaining chip between the two families, it is Yuge, she is so favored between the household and the Earl of Yong'an, it is not the same fate."

"It's also said that all living beings are suffering." Xiao Huai'an groaned, but unfortunately the two of them had already walked outside the door of the palace, and they would inevitably cause some gossip after a while, so they had to raise a reluctant smirk and pretend to be happy and step in.

As the most famous handsome man and beauty and model couple in the city, Xiao Huai'an and Su Jiao instantly attracted the attention of most people as soon as they entered the main hall.

But Xiao Huai'an briefly observed the layout of the hall, although the officials can bring their families, but after all, it is the foreign ministers who are visiting, so the officials and ministers are sitting in separate seats.

The ministers sat on one side with the foreign envoys who had reserved their seats, while the ladies and the princesses sat on the other. Xiao Huai'an, at a glance, heard that the Countess of Yong'an was unwell today and did not come over, so Zhang Yuge over there finally recovered his body, and today was the first time he appeared in front of outsiders, so he gently arranged a sentence with Su Jiao.

"The third princess is over there, you go over and talk to her, and someone will take you to your seat in a while, or you can sit down with her."

"I know you're going to entertain you too, and I can still guarantee that I won't fall behind in the verbal confrontation between women." Su Jiao, smiling slightly, and Xiao Huai'an each took care of themselves, and then dispersed.

According to what Xiao Huai'an said, Su Jiao was the first to say hello to Zhang Yuge, but there were already other people sitting next to him, in addition to Mrs. Li, who had already fought before, there was also a lady who had never seen a very faceless person.

This new lady looked quite enthusiastic, and when she saw Su Jiao coming over, she stood up directly and saluted with a smile, "Mrs. Xiao, it is the first time I have the honor to meet, and it is really enviable to see Mrs. Xiao and Lord Xiao so affectionate." ”
