Su Jiao whispered in her heart, the queen solved Mrs. Zhang's dissatisfaction with Xu Rulie, and suddenly felt comfortable, so she said, "Then let's do this today, in the future, the palace will agree with Your Majesty on the day arrangement for Yuge and Rulie to marry, and the time is not too early, and the palace will not delay Mrs. Zhang to go back." ”

"Yes, the concubine is retiring." Mrs. Zhang agreed, and the queen left with the help of the magpie.

After tossing for so much of a day, Su Jiao was able to get out, happily walked out of the queen's bedroom, and when she walked out of the long street outside, she saw Zhang Yuge standing there waiting for her.

"Why is Miss Zhang here, where has Mrs. Zhang gone, aren't you ready to leave the palace yet?" Su Jiao slowly put down her stretching movements, pretending that nothing had happened, and wanted to pass by Zhang Yuge.

Zhang Yuge lifted the hem of her skirt and chased after her with small steps, "I heard my mother and aunt say that Mrs. Xiao used to be the fiancée of the third prince, so my mother asked me to come and ask." ”

"Presumably Miss Zhang should understand that I have no relationship with His Royal Highness for a long time, so Miss Zhang doesn't have to be afraid of me." Without waiting for Zhang Yuge to finish speaking, Su Jiao was in a hurry to prove her innocence.

"I know, don't misunderstand Mrs. Xiao, I didn't come here to ask about the guilt, and my aunt also said that Mrs. Xiao is a good person, so I dared to come over and ask Mrs. Xiao what she thinks of the third prince."

Zhang Yuge was a pampered young lady in the end, and she was out of breath after running a few steps, Su Jiao stood still, very puzzled. "Who is your aunt? Do I know each other? ”

"My aunt is the Countess of Yong'an, and I met Lady Xiao last time when I was at the polo club." Zhang Yuge replied, Su Jiao reacted, no wonder the countess was so nervous when she was at the banquet just now.

"So that's the case, it's normal for Miss Zhang to have such questions about the three princes, but the three princes are royal descendants, and it's really inconvenient for me to speak, otherwise others will think that I deliberately played right and wrong in front of Miss Zhang."

Su Jiao said and walked forward again, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Yuge.

Seeing that Su Jiao refused to take care of herself, Zhang Yuge was in a hurry, and couldn't help but raise her voice a few points, "Mrs. Xiao, don't worry, I won't create nonsense outside, I just want to be clear." ”

This long street was originally quiet, and there would be echoes when walking, let alone such a loud sound, Su Jiao was startled by the echoes, and hurriedly turned around and pulled Zhang Yuge.

"Shh

Zhang Yuge's eyes were full of helplessness, Su Jiao couldn't help it, and sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll tell you something, but you have to promise that you must be restrained." ”

On the other side, Xu Rulie, who left the banquet early, went to the palace garden to look around, and finally found Su Lian who was crying at a pond of lotus leaves.

"Li'er, you're here, it's not too early, let's get out of the palace quickly."

As he spoke, Xu Rulie wanted to reach out and take Su Lian's hand, but Su Lian dodged it, wiping his red and swollen eyes with a handkerchief, and tears kept flowing down.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have come here, and you were scolded by the queen."

"Li'er, you shouldn't blame yourself, it's all the queen mother's own opinion." Xu Rulie reached out to hug her, and just as he was about to comfort her, Su Lian supported his chest with his hand and pushed the person away.

"Your Highness, I have heard that today's banquet was originally chosen by the queen mother for you."

After saying a word, Su Lian covered her mouth and nose with her delicate hands and turned her head away. "I also heard that Miss Zhang's family is illustrious and she is not bad, and she is a good match for Your Highness. Your Highness, let me ......"

"No, Li'er, I promised you that I will never fail you in this life." When Xu Rulie saw her like this, he felt his heart broken, and he hugged people into his arms regardless of it.

"No matter how good others are, they can't compare to you, I'm sorry for you, I can't give you a higher status, the queen mother insists on choosing the concubine, I can also show my heart to the queen mother, in this life except for you, I will never marry any concubine!"

"What?!" Su Lian raised her head in surprise, her eyes were surprised and surprised, her two hands forgot to push the person away, but slowly grabbed Xu Rulie's sleeve.

However, this joy did not last long, Su Lian stared at Xu Rulie for a moment, and the brilliance in her eyes quietly dimmed.

"But this is impossible, the queen mother has always hoped that Her Royal Highness can start a family, Your Highness does not have to argue with the queen mother for me, I don't want to make you uneasy." With tears in her eyes, Su Lian slowly put her hand down.

"Your Highness, forget it, don't care about my feelings, I heard that Miss Zhang is not bad, maybe she can allow me to serve tea and shoes for you by His Highness's side, I am already satisfied."

"Impossible." Seeing Su Lian's appearance, Xu Rulie only felt a twitch in his heart, and suddenly couldn't care about anything, and hurriedly pulled her hand back and put it on his chest.

"I didn't give you the name you deserved, I'm already sorry for you, how can I marry another woman, don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely not fail you."

"Your Highness—" Su Lian whispered, her eyes full of emotion.

When the two of them were talking, they came out to look for Xu Rulie's magpie, and found that the two met in the pavilion, and their faces immediately turned flat, and they slowly walked to the front and saluted.

"Your Royal Highness, the queen has an order, you must enter the palace tomorrow, you have already embarrassed Mrs. Hubu Shangshu in front of everyone today, come tomorrow to make amends, and you must not be absent."

As he spoke, the magpie paused, and then glared at Su Lian, "Queen Mother, let me bring it to Aunt Su, and ask Aunt Su to recognize her identity clearly, and stop pestering Your Highness." His Royal Highness brought you here today, it is already a big shame, and I ask you to persuade His Highness to enter the palace tomorrow. ”

Su Lian's heart shook when she said in such an indifferent tone, and she hurriedly bowed her head, "The concubine doesn't have it, the concubine knows." ”

Xu Rulie stretched out his hand to hug her, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head and glared back at the magpie, "What kind of identity are you, you are just the palace maid next to my queen mother, and you dare to point fingers at His Royal Highness?!" ”

Hearing this, the magpie lowered his head, but his posture was still neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Highness forgives your sins, the slave maid is just passing the word for the mother, and please don't blame the slave maid." When the words were brought, the slave and maid took their leave. ”

"Your Highness, it seems that you still have to go to the palace tomorrow, otherwise the queen mother will definitely be furious."

Although the magpie is just a palace maid, but after following the queen for so long, her all-round temperament cannot be ignored, and Su Lian waited until she left before she dared to pull Xu Rulie to speak.

Xu Rulie came back to his senses and helped her to the side to sit down, "What an apology, when does His Royal Highness need to bow to others, you have been wronged today, and the weather will be good tomorrow, Your Highness will take you to the Wansheng Tea House on the outskirts of the city to drink tea, and let the queen mother receive Mrs. Shangshu alone." ”

Hearing him say this, Su Lian felt a burst of joy in his heart, although he also wanted to persuade a few more words, but seeing that he had made up his mind, he closed his mouth and stopped being wordy.

On the long street of the harem, Su Jiao and Zhang Yuge walked side by side.

Zhang Yuge is a typical classical lady, but her thinking is not old-fashioned, so Su Jiao and her can be quite reasonable, the temperament of the two people is still and moving, and they are inexplicably harmonious.

"The third prince has the potential to become the prince, and his talent should be good, although I haven't had much in-depth understanding. In terms of character, the people don't have much criticism of him, so he must be okay. Su Jiao thought about her opinion of Xu Rulie when she was reading the book, and briefly told Zhang Yuge these words.

Zhang Yuge nodded, and didn't feel that Su Jiao was talking nonsense.

"It's just that his biggest fault is probably stubbornness, obstinate and overconfident, and he especially believes in Su Lian, what does Su Lian look like, you also saw it today, these two people are together, who is standing next to them, I'm afraid the three highnesses will not put it in their eyes."

Su Jiao stretched out her hand and spit out all the grievances buried in Xu Rulie.

Zhang Yuge covered his mouth in surprise, and couldn't help but think in his heart: I'm afraid such a character is not improvised.

However, Su Jiao opened the chatterbox, and when she was talking about it, she didn't notice Zhang Yuge's strange expression, turned around, and gave a very caring advice.

"So I want to advise you, if you have to become the concubine of the third prince, you should stay as far away from them as possible in the future, how far away you can be, and whether you can fly in the future I don't know, at least you have to protect yourself first."

In other words, when an ordinary person hears who dares to say bad things about the prince, he is afraid that he will be so frightened that he doesn't know what to do, but Zhang Yuge came back to his senses and felt that what Su Jiao said was very reasonable.

"Thank you Mrs. Xiao for the reminder, I thought Mrs. Xiao was a cold beauty who didn't like to talk to people, but I didn't expect it to be so old-fashioned and hot-hearted, and my aunt's words were really good."

Su Jiao was stunned, although she knew that she was really good-looking, she would still be very happy to hear other people's praise in person.

She couldn't help laughing, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief shyly, "Miss Zhang, you have won the award, in fact, I am not as good as you said." ”

"Oh, by the way, please keep your words secret today, otherwise people will say that I am a wicked person who likes to chew my tongue behind my back."

"I know, Mrs. Xiao rest assured." Zhang Yuge said softly, and Fang Cai's depressed brows were also relieved at this time.

"Thank you Mrs. Xiao for telling me, otherwise I am afraid that I will still be kept in the dark, Mrs. Xiao's great kindness, I will definitely remember it, and I will never be ungrateful."

"There's no need to be so exaggerated. It's already at the gate of the palace. Su Jiao smiled and waved her hand, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that on the carriage outside the palace gate, Mrs. Shangshu was waiting for Zhang Yuge.
