Xiao Huai'an quietly lowered his head and found that Su Jiao had put her face behind her arm, and her whole person twitched slightly, as if she was smiling very uncomfortably.

His eyes narrowed, and he deliberately reached out and patted Su Jiao's shoulder to make her restrain herself.

Su Jiao came back to her senses, barely held back a smile, and then replied confidently in the inexplicable eyes of Xu Rulie and Su Lian.

"I just knew that I was going home, so I came out to personally choose gifts for my father and mother, is it possible that Huai'an and I will go empty-handed, but sister, have you prepared things, but don't forget that father and mother have to be treated equally."

Xiao Huai'an heard Su Jiao shouting his name so affectionately, and a trace of warmth suddenly appeared in his heart, and he turned around and asked as if intentionally or unintentionally.

"Are you all packed?"

"Yes." The little guy came back to his senses and hurriedly pulled the stall owner to pack up all the gold jewelry that was put out.

Su Lian was stunned for a moment, she did remember to bring something to Master Su, but Mrs. Su was completely out of her and Xu Rulie's considerations.

Feeling that Su Lian was holding his hand and contracting, Xu Rulie came back to his senses and avoided the trivial quibble.

"You don't have to bother about it, it's just that this little thing you sent out is too ugly, let's raise you in the Su family, will you repay Lord Su like this?"

Hearing this, Su Jiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and took Xiao Huai'an to speak while bypassing.

The little guy with a big bag followed behind them, like two hills, rushing out from Su Lian's side.

"Gifts are expensive in the heart, and no longer in the amount of money, and my father and mother are not the kind of vain people. My sister has this kung fu, and she is talking nonsense with us on the street, so she might as well think about what to send to her mother. ”

"Your Highness, isn't the thing we sent too worldly?" After Su Jiao and her husband left, Su Lian raised a pair of watery eyes again, and looked at Xu Rulie pitifully.

"Don't listen to these crooked truths she said, your mind is the most important, let's go." The corners of Xu Rulie's mouth twitched, and he was speechless because of Su Jiao's words, which would come back to comfort Su Lian.

However, although Xu Rulie was so hard-mouthed, he still didn't forget to arrange for someone to pick a random gift for Mrs. Su.

It's just a pity that although Xu Rulie thinks she has done a very thoughtful job, she grandly returned to the door with her concubine, and she was still swaggering on the street, and the news had already spread everywhere.

As a member of the royal family, what he cares about most is the unattainable image and status in the hearts of ordinary people, Xu Rulie did this, which simply made the queen feel embarrassed, and the angry queen's opinion of Su Lian became worse and worse.

"The queen mother is angry, but the third highness has already got her wish, and Su Lian is just a concubine, so she must not be able to make any waves in the future."

The magpie had been standing beside the queen for a quarter of an hour with a cup of tea, and the queen didn't pay attention, only pressed her temples fiercely, and what Xu Rulie did really gave her a headache.

"I can't make any waves, isn't it embarrassing enough to be on the street today? Bengong is not afraid of what Xu Rulie will do for her, but is only worried that His Majesty will be more and more disappointed in Rulie. ”

The queen sighed, and the magpie hurriedly put the cup down and came up to help her beat her legs.

"The third prince was only deceived for a while, and if he came into contact with other better young ladies, maybe he would change his mind. It's time for the queen to choose a concubine for the Third Highness. ”

"I fell in love with Su Jiao before, but Rulie was unwilling, so the palace went with him, and this time the palace can't let him be willful again."

The queen straightened up, looked ahead a few times with fixed eyes, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and the corners of her mouth also hooked an arc.

"By the way, magpies, the flowers in the palace are blooming just right these days, and the palace intends to arrange for the officials and ladies of the big families to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers, you can start to arrange it, and be sure to let Rulie come over."

"Yes." As the queen's right-hand man, Magpie naturally understands what she plans to do now.

A few days ago, the queen and Hubu Shangshu had frequent contacts, and I am afraid that they had already had an idea.

So not long after, Su Jiao, who was born as Mrs. Xiao, must have received an invitation from the queen.

"There are no particularly beautiful flowers blooming at this time, right, but the queen is in this mood and has called so many people to enjoy the flowers?"

Just now, the little eunuch came to the palace and personally handed over the invitation to Su Jiao.

When she saw that this invitation was very elegant and elegant, it was an important festival, but she didn't expect it to be such a banquet.

Xiao Huai'an stood next to her and sorted out the cuff belt, repeatedly hinting at Su Jiao to help, but she didn't find out, so he had to do it himself and explain from the side.

"The palace doesn't hold banquets casually, unless it has some purpose. In the past, all dynasties used the name of flower appreciation to choose a good match for His Majesty and the sons of princes and nobles. ”

"Oh, I see, then I understand."

Hearing this, Su Jiao nodded meaningfully, and said with certainty, "Then the queen mother sees that the third prince is unreliable, and plans to recruit someone to help him in the harem?" ”

Xiao Huai'an, who was concentrating on adjusting his official uniform, was so shocked that he almost coughed when he heard Su Jiao's words, and said helplessly, "You can't help but think too much, Your Majesty has not accepted the harem for a long time, how can the queen make her own decisions." ”

Su Jiao smiled, put the invitation aside, and brought a cup of tea embarrassedly, but didn't give it to Xiao Huai'an, and took a sip herself.

"Isn't this a joke with you, of course I understand, the queen is also well-intentioned, but I don't know which girl is going to be harmed again."

"The fate of Tianjia cannot be violated, and it can only be determined by the number of lives of individuals." Xiao Huai'an turned his head, put down his hand, took the cup in Su Jiao's hand, tasted it without any hesitation, and went out in Su Jiao's surprised eyes.

The next day was the queen's flower-viewing banquet, Su Jiao was forced to get up early in the morning, simply clean up, not too shabby, and prepared to go out in a carriage, but she didn't expect to bump into another family's carriage halfway through.

Su Jiao poked her head out and found that the shape of this carriage should be regarded as a family with a title, but the decoration was quite plain.

The carriage on the opposite side also happened to open the window, and sitting inside was the Countess of Yong'an, who held the polo club.

"I didn't expect it to be the Countess, we accidentally ran into it, and please don't be angry." When Su Jiao saw that it was her, she was still a little impressed, and nodded politely to her.

The countess dragged her face with a smile on her face, looked left and right, and planned to get out of the car to talk to him, but the two carriages were blocked at the entrance of the street, and it was really inconvenient, so she had to go forward first and then for a while, and when she reached the main road in front of the palace wall, the two of them got out of the car.

"This can be regarded as a coincidence, I was thinking that I might be able to meet Mrs. Xiao when I entered the palace, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

The countess has a hearty personality, and she looks like she dares to love and hate, which makes Su Jiao very appreciative and envious.

"Madame is really polite, I should have taken the initiative to talk to Madame." Su Jiao waved her hand, he and the countess came early, and no one had passed by on this road.

After the carriage not far behind drove away from the two of them, the countess quietly pulled Su Jiao away and whispered.

"Actually, today was specially arranged by the queen mother for the affairs of the three princes, I didn't expect the queen mother to send an invitation to Mrs. Xiao, I don't know what the queen mother is planning, Mrs. Xiao is actually okay if you don't come."

Listening to the Countess's words, everyone who came here today must have guessed what might happen.

However, the countess was so kind, Su Jiao was indeed a little moved, and couldn't help but hold the countess's arm affectionately.

"I take the liberty of saying it, Madame looks older than me, so it's better to call me by my name, and I don't need Mrs. Xiao's name, it looks raw."

Su Jiao had a smile on her face that didn't mind, which surprised the countess a little.

"Actually, no matter what the queen thinks, I have nothing to do with the Third Highness now, so I naturally won't take it to heart, and Madame doesn't have to worry about me."

Saying that, before the countess could say a few more words of comfort, Su Jiao looked up at the front, "It's already at the gate of the palace, let's not be late, let's go." ”

The countess couldn't help it, and felt that she might indeed have something to do, so she shook her head, and got into the same carriage with Su Jiao and went to the harem.

The queen's bedroom, on the square in front of the main hall, was arranged early for all the seats of the ladies and ladies, and each of them was seated, and there were two good bonsai pots in the back.

Although it looks like a gardenia, the small roses are all snow-white and not very lucky, but with the red pepper that looks like the fruit, it looks quite lively.

Xiao Huai'an's position in the palace is not low, so Su Jiao's position will be relatively comprehensive.

Further ahead, are the positions of those dukes and countesses, and to the left of Su Jiao are the officials and dependents of the ministers.

Su Jiao sat down and looked at the back from a distance, although the young ladies of the ministers looked quite standard, they were really dressed a little worldly. Only one in front of her left, sat a very elegant and well-dressed little girl, who looked good.

Although the temperament is also soft and weak, the overall feeling is that it is very different from Su Lian of the White Lotus.

Unconsciously, Su Jiao took one more look, and the young lady who attracted her inadvertently noticed her gaze.

Seeing this, Su Jiao hurriedly turned around, the queen hadn't appeared at this time, and Xu Rulie should have appeared with the queen, so it was normal not to be there.

But in addition to the palace maids beside the queen, who are responsible for delivering tea and fruits to each seat, Su Lian is actually here.

Su Jiao raised her eyebrows, thinking that she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes, and found that it was really Su Lian.

Su Lian walked through the ladies with a shelf, and asked if there was anything inconsiderate, looking at the posture as if it was in her home field.

But her identity shouldn't have been here, so it only made the ladies all show disgusted expressions.

Su Jiao saw that this situation was not right, I was afraid that a few grumpy ladies were about to have a seizure, and it happened that the queen came with Xu Rulie talking and laughing, and found Su Lian pestle there at a glance, and her face immediately fell.

"This is the seat of ladies and ladies, what are you doing here?"
