Chapter 32 White Lotus Green Tea
"The person above is an imperial power, how can he easily change his mind?" Su Jiao had a feeling of empathy when she heard it, fortunately she was decisive enough at that time, otherwise it would have been miserable.
"But then again, who made Miss Zhang so good, the queen refused to let go, and sure enough, the husband was not guilty, and he was guilty."
This should not be the time to laugh, but Su Jiao's words really made Zhang Yuge feel crying and laughing. "Mrs. Xiao, don't make fun of me anymore, I don't actually have any ideas myself, I just hope it won't affect the family."
The layout of Wansheng Tea House has a lobby facing the south gate, which is a place for businessmen who come to buy a large amount of tea to talk, and another lobby at the back door is for people who come here to play.
The room in the center of the tea house is the place where the owner of the tea house is himself, and generally he is not allowed to enter unless he or she is a confidant or a person of high status. Unfortunately, Xu Rulie Suri also likes to drink tea, so he often comes to the tea house for recreation.
Yesterday, he felt that Su Lian had been wronged in the palace, so Xu Rulie took advantage of today to take people to the tea house to rest and relax.
In every two lobbies of the tea house, there is a very beautiful small garden, a living pond occupies most of the garden, a stone bridge runs through it, and next to it is a weeping willow pavilion and a flower bed with various flowers.
The position where Su Jiao and Zhang Yuge were standing was the small bridge by the pond, Xu Rulie took Su Lian from the central car, and just happened to meet the two of them.
"This place is comfortable and comfortable, here we don't have to worry about all the disturbances outside, do you like it?" Xu Rulie softened his voice and asked, but saw Su Lian's eyes staring ahead, and when he looked along the line of sight, he saw Su Jiao and Zhang Yuge.
"Why are you here?"
An untimely voice came, which frightened Su Jiao and Zhang Yuge, and then Xu Rulie led Su Lian to him.
"I've seen my sister, who is this?" Su Lianrou bowed weakly, but she hadn't seen Zhang Yuge, so she didn't know her.
"Li'er, why are you so polite to them, I didn't read the yellow calendar when I went out today, how did I meet you?" Without waiting for Su Jiao to speak, Xu Rulie snorted unhappily in advance.
As for Zhang Yuge, Xu Rulie didn't take a serious look at her at all yesterday, and Zhang Yuge changed his clothes today, so he couldn't recognize it.
Xu Rulie inadvertently noticed Zhang Yuge, and saw her standing there in a daze, wondering who this person was, but thinking that she was standing with Su Jiao and talking, he didn't have much good temper towards her, so he spoke in a cold voice.
"This young lady looks at her, but His Royal Highness can advise you, Su Jiao is notorious outside, and she is coquettish and domineering, you better stay away from her, otherwise I am afraid that I will be annoyed by others."
When the words landed, Zhang Yuge thought that the prince's cultivation could be higher, but he didn't want to be like this, so he immediately stayed in place. And Su Jiao felt even more angry, staring at her eyes before she was about to refute it, and she didn't want the countess to walk out behind.
"Why is the Third Highness here? I have arranged refreshments in front, and the Third Highness might as well go over and try them together. β
As she spoke, the countess walked out and took a general look at the situation here, especially after seeing Su Lian, her face suddenly changed a little, and she said as if she had no intention of speaking.
"So that's the case, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I went out to play with Mrs. Xiao and Yuge today, could it be that the third prince heard that Yuge was going to marry His Royal Highness as a concubine in the near future, so he came to take a look?"
After saying that, Zhang Yuge reacted and bowed down to Xu Rulie Yingying, "The courtiers have seen the three princes,"
Zhang Yuge is a serious official eunuch and a young lady, and she is from a Qingliu family, so the etiquette must be thoughtful, even if she is in such an embarrassing situation, she will not forget the rules and system.
As soon as he heard the countess's introduction, Xu Rulie didn't come back to his senses for a while, and he didn't respond to Zhang Yuge's salute, Zhang Yuge didn't feel embarrassed, and still said hello to Su Lian obediently.
"Presumably this is the rumored Aunt Su who is in love with Her Royal Highness, I have heard of it for a long time."
"What do you mean by that?" Xu Rulie came back to his senses, and only thought about protecting Su Lian behind him.
But such an impulsive move, in front of Zhang Yuge's disciplined performance, really seemed too abrupt, and it was no wonder that Su Lian showed such an inferior expression.
Thinking about it, Su Jiao really couldn't stand it, and she also protected Zhang Yuge. "Miss Zhang just said hello, the third prince doesn't have to be so excited,"
"The Countess is also present, you should be polite in front of your aunt, so as not to lose the royal demeanor."
Xu Rulie gritted his teeth and looked at her without answering, but Su Lian walked out in advance and bowed her knees pitifully.
"Yes, my sister's lesson is that the concubine has seen Miss Zhang, and in the future, she will also take care of the Third Highness as a sister, and please bear with her sister's rudeness."
Then, Su Lian turned to the Countess again, "Don't blame the Countess, Your Highness is just not in a good mood today, not intentionally." β
Faced with Su Lian's teary eyes, only Xu Rulie would be so heart-wrenching, the countess turned her eyes away and did not hide the disgust on her face.
"Aunt Su is polite, Her Royal Highness is a child of the royal family, and she is already high, when do you need outsiders to apologize for her. What's more, Yuge and His Royal Highness have not yet married, and now they are still an innocent girl, Aunt Su should pay attention to her words and deeds, so as not to tarnish her reputation. β
This was to the point, Su Lian suddenly felt ashamed, and retreated and didn't dare to say more.
Su Jiao also listened to it very excitedly, after all, compared with Su Lian, who had already married someone else before she got married, Zhang Yuge should not be reduced to being compared to her.
Looking at Zhang Yuge again, even if the countess stood up for her, she stood there obediently, without feeling cramped or gloating.
Xu Rulie's subordinates pulled Su Lian, and saw that the few people in front of him were not easy to find fault with, so he had to raise his smile and interrupt, "Didn't the countess say that she had prepared refreshments, if you wait for the snacks to be cold for a long time, it won't be easy to use." β
"What His Royal Highness said is very true, I almost forgot, Third Highness, please." The Countess sneered in her heart, made a gesture of invitation, and everyone followed her to the hall and sat down to rest.
If everyone has all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, even if there is a moment of silence, it is only a faΓ§ade.
Su Jiao really couldn't look down on Xu Rulie and Su Lian, but they all smiled and thought to the countess that they were snakes, so they found an opportunity to come out and breathe.
Walking north from the lobby, standing in the backyard of the tea house, you can see a vast grassland in front of you, Su Jiao stretched her waist and took a deep breath, which made her feel relaxed.
was about to go out for a walk on the grass, when suddenly a person walked quickly and rushed directly in front of Su Jiao.
Su Jiao resisted the urge to roll her eyes, bypassed him and still walked forward, "Why did the Third Highness come out, don't you talk to the Countess and her sister inside?" β
"Don't you want to use these rhetoric to take me away, how do you know that His Royal Highness and Li'er will be here today, and what are you saying that they came out with the Countess, do you think Your Highness will believe your nonsense?"
Xu Rulie saw that he couldn't stop her, and he followed her quickly. Su Jiao almost laughed at him, and said sarcastically, "This is what the Countess told you personally, don't you still believe it?" Your Highness, you are too self-indulgent, could it be that someone will really investigate your whereabouts for you? β
"If it weren't for that, how could Zhang Yuge be here, you must have deliberately brought her over to make Li'er sad." Xu Rulie sneered at Su Jiao's words, which made Su Jiao unable to hold back her anger and stood up in return.
"Why should I do this, no matter whether she sees Zhang Yuge today or not, Zhang Yuge will be the concubine in the future, this is the queen's arrangement, if you are dissatisfied, go to the queen to refuse this family, come here and talk nonsense with me about these useless things, what to do."
Su Jiao snorted coldly in her heart, if Xu Rulie can really withdraw from her family, it would be good for the province to spoil such a good girl as Zhang Yuge.
"Hmph, the shop has made it clear to the queen mother." However, Xu Rulie, who was still arrogant just now, suddenly disappeared when he heard this, and he didn't give a clear answer.
On the other side of the lobby, that is, the stone bridge he had just walked on, Zhang Yuge looked tired and wanted to come out here to breathe. He only stood for a moment, and Su Lian followed.
"Miss Zhang, I was offended by what I said just now, and I ask Miss Zhang for forgiveness."
Su Lian walked slowly to the front, and the light footsteps could only be discovered when Zhang Yuge inadvertently turned his head to see it.
Zhang Yuge patted his chest to calm down, and took a step back indifferently, "It's okay, you are also unintentional, Aunt Fang Cai has already said you, let's settle the bill." β
"No, no, I came here to apologize, I know that my identity is not right, and I am not as dignified and elegant as Miss Zhang, I am afraid, if I don't get your forgiveness, I really feel uneasy."
Su Lian shook her head, holding a handkerchief against her chest with both hands, and a little red quietly flew on her eyes and nose, looking as if she would cry out in the next moment.
"I don't blame you, not to mention that Master Zhang has always treated you as his own, why are you entangled in your identity and can't extricate yourself."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuge took a step back even more frightened, compared to the quiet approach just now, the pitiful look of Su Lian in front of him was even more terrifying.
"You can relax, you have the favor of the three princes, you don't have to complain like this, I forgive you, and you don't have to take me to heart."
