Chapter 7: Love and Woo

Since eating with Leng Yanxi at noon, Su Xiaosu's mood has been very good. Xiaoxue didn't wait by her side during lunch, because she didn't know what happened to make Miss feel good, so she asked, "Miss, what makes you so happy?" ”

Su Xiaosu was drinking a cup of tea, and he thought of Leng Yanxi's choking appearance in his mind, and laughed a few more times.

Last night, the young lady mentioned that the prince was still angry, but she didn't expect that today she actually took the initiative to go to dinner with the prince, and she was in a good mood. Xiaoxue saw that Su Xiaosu was just smiling, and the curiosity in her heart became more and more intense.

After waiting for a while, Su Xiaosu didn't answer, Xiaoxue had to put away the curiosity helplessly, and reminded: "Miss, although I have entered the palace yesterday, after all, I didn't serve tea according to the etiquette, and the prince instructed the slave to tell the young lady that she would enter the palace with the prince tomorrow." ”

Su Xiaosu was still thinking back to the scene where Leng Yanxi choked, but he didn't fully hear what Xiaoxue was saying, and only after nodding did he react, "Xiaoxue, what were you talking about just now?" ”

After Xiaoxue repeated, Su Xiaosu almost jumped up, "Serve tea and ask for peace?" That means she won't want to sleep tomorrow. Although the Rui Wangfu is not far from the palace, it takes an hour to get to the palace gate by carriage, and it takes another hour to travel from the palace gate to the emperor's Jingren Palace, plus she has to get up early in the morning to dress up for an hour.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaosu suddenly looked like a wilted flower, listless.

The next day, before dawn, Su Xiaosu was woken up by Xiaoxue. Her eyelids were still fighting, and she was soaked in warm water, and she let Xiaoxue help her freshen up in a daze.

"Miss, wear this, okay?" Xiaoxue asked as she took a water-red dress.

Su Xiaosu's eyelids were still fighting, and he raised his eyes and only glanced at it, but he didn't see which dress it was, so he nodded. After taking a bath and changing her clothes, Su Xiaosu really wanted to make up for her sleep, so she ran to the bed.

Xiaoxue hurriedly stopped, "Miss, haven't combed your hair yet?" ”

"Good Xiaoxue, let me sleep for a while, and wait for the comb to come."

I slept for a long time, and found that it was too late to comb my hair, and Xiaoxue was about to cry. Su Xiaosu frowned, asked Xiaoxue to find a moon-white ribbon, combed a simplest bun, tied by a moon-white ribbon, and the rest of the loose hair was still waist-length, as ethereal as the black of the night.

Pushing away those dazzling gold hairpins and phoenixes, Su Xiaosu chose a jade hairpin, which was smooth and emerald green, and inserted it diagonally in his hair.

"Isn't it too easy, miss." Xiaoxue was a little worried, although such a simple dress made her feel that Miss was like a fairy in the world, but she always felt that Miss was dressed too simply, lest she fall into other people's tongues.

"That's good." Su Xiaosu smiled slightly, glanced at the sky, and saw that a guard in the courtyard was coming, she quipped, "Xiaoxue, we should go out, otherwise the prince will curse." ”

Walking all the way to the outside of the mansion with the guards, Su Xiaosu glanced at Xiaoxue and found that there was still worry on her face, and comforted: "Xiaoxue, do you think this is not good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful."

"So what are you worried about? What's more, the emperor and queen won't care how I dress up. It's better to be at ease, and people are more relaxed. ”

Xiaoxue nodded as if she didn't understand.

Su Xiaosu went to the carriage first, and he was still sleeping, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he got into the carriage first, and lay on the soft sleeper to close his eyes and recuperate. Hearing the sound of the guards asking for peace, she hurriedly returned to her normal and sat down.

Soon, the curtain was opened.

When Leng Yanxi saw her, he raised his eyebrows slightly, then returned to normal, sat in the carriage and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Su Xiaosu didn't miss the opportunity to catch up on sleep, and fell asleep leaning against the wall of the car.

I slept well this night, and when I woke up, I felt that all the fatigue in my body had disappeared because of this sleep. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she touched Leng Yanxi's indifferent gaze sweeping across her face, and then she heard his cold voice: "Unorthodox!" ”

Su Xiaosu smiled faintly, whatever he said, she didn't care. After tiring his hair, he picked up his clothes and got out of the car.

When the new daughter-in-law is visited, it is inevitable that the grace of the banquet will be given.

Emperor Jiaren knew that if he was present, no matter how exquisite and delicious it was, it would be difficult for the princes to feast. After the new daughter-in-law finished serving tea and toasting, she and the queen both withdrew from the banquet.

For a long time, all the princes have not been toasted by this new daughter-in-law, Princess Rui. This time, how can you let it go? As soon as Emperor Jiaren and Empress Jia Ren left, the Thirteen Princes took the lead in running over and asked for a glass of wine from Su Xiaosu.

"Thirteenth brother, you scared the sixth sister-in-law."

The thirteenth prince's Leng Yanbai quickly flashed the scene of Su Xiaosu punching him in the nose, and said with a smile: "Starling, don't underestimate the sixth sister-in-law, she is not scared by my words." ”

The princes just smiled and raised their glasses to each other, looking at Su Xiaosu from time to time. Although I have seen it at the birthday banquet, when I see it today, it is a different scene. The woman I saw at the birthday banquet was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was absolutely beautiful. Today, simple dressing up makes people can't take their eyes off it.

"Concubine Liu has arrived—" Suddenly came and sang a promise.

Most of the eyes in the hall were on Liu Guifei, after all, who didn't want to see the beauty, not to mention that this Liu Guifei was born really captivating the country and the city, and she was charming. Of course, there are still those who don't want to see Concubine Liu, the thirteenth prince is cold and white, so he keeps looking at Su Xiaosu.

The new daughter-in-law is here, where is she Liu Guifei, what is the matter? It's clear that you're coming at yourself. Su Xiaosu turned around and met his gaze. Their eyes were intertwined, and they couldn't see each other, but they all pretended to be smiling.

"I heard that Rong'er entered the palace, and the palace also came to join in the fun, can Rong'er welcome the palace?"

"Rong'er has seen the concubine." After that, Su Xiaosu handed her a glass of wine, "Because she is not strong enough to drink, the prince is afraid that Rong'er will hurt her body by drinking too much wine, so she won't let Rong'er touch the wine again." Rong'er replaced the wine with tea and toasted the mother with a cup. ”

After drinking, Concubine Liu glanced at Leng Yanxi hurriedly, smiled and gestured again, and a palace maid came over holding a piece of blue and white porcelain.

"This palace thought about it, I should send you a gift, so I will give you this blue and white porcelain that the emperor gave me. This piece of blue and white porcelain is priceless, don't drop it. ”

Su Xiaosu raised his eyebrows and took the blue and white porcelain. Suddenly, I heard her cry, "No, no, no-" As she spoke, a sneeze came out, and the porcelain in her hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Everyone froze, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became condensed. Over there, Liu Guifei just said don't break it, and here she sneezed and smashed the porcelain in her hand.

Liu Guifei was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time, and her face became ugly.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it." Su Xiaosu looked like he had done something wrong, "What can I do about this?" ”

Inside the hall, it was still quiet.

Su Xiaosu glanced at Concubine Liu, and the corners of her mouth quickly pulled up a smile, which quickly disappeared. His gaze suddenly met Leng Yanxi's eyes, and there seemed to be nothing in the cold, cold, deep pupils. But she already felt her face stiffen, thinking that he must have seen the smile just now.

Su Xiaosu took a slight breath, squatted down, and muttered, "It's a pity, I don't know if I can't stick it yet." ”

"Even if it's glued, there are already cracks and cracks, and it can't go back to its original appearance." The Thirteenth Prince squatted next to her and said.

What I wanted was to answer this sentence, a smile flashed in Su Xiaosu's eyes, and then he sighed and said, "Yes, once the beauty is in the past, there will be no going back." Just like this porcelain, even if it is glued, it is no longer the same as it used to be. ”

What she said was for Concubine Liu.

Su Xiaosu didn't understand that Concubine Liu was a concubine who targeted her like this, if she was jealous of her appearance, it would be impossible. If it weren't for this reason, then the biggest reason she could think of was her status as a princess. Although she can't guess the real reason, if there is really a past, the sentence just now will also touch her wounds.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." With a singing promise, the queen mother was helped into the hall by the eunuch.

Su Xiaosu hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Before I first came in, I heard that I couldn't go back, why can't I go back?" The old queen asked.

"Grandmother!"

Leng Yanxi, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward.

"Xi'er, why don't you come to see your grandmother often these days?" When the old queen mother saw Leng Yanxi, the smile on her face was even bigger.

Seeing this scene, Su Xiaosu naturally understood that this cold Yanxi was extremely favored by the old queen mother. Will you love Wu and Wu? The corners of Su Xiaosu's mouth rolled into a bright smile, "Rong'er has seen grandmother." ”

"Lift your head and let me, old woman, take a closer look." There was uncontrollable joy in the old queen's voice.

Sure enough, I will love Wu and Wu.

Su Xiaosu raised his head and smiled lightly, as bright as a spring flower.

"Xi'er's blessing is really not shallow, I met such a lovely person as you." The old queen mother praised.

"Grandmother compliments." Su Xiaosu pursed her lips and smiled, "It should be Rong'er's good fortune to be able to marry the prince, and also to have such a kind and kind grandmother." ”

"Rong'er, your little mouth is so sweet." The Queen Mother couldn't help but say, "My old woman hasn't been so happy for a long time." ”

Su Xiaosu smiled lightly, "Really? Can Rong'er really make grandmother happy? Rong'er has lived outside with her mother since she was a child, and has heard a lot of interesting stories, if your grandmother is not annoying, Rong'er often comes to relieve your boredom. ”

"Okay." The old queen mother nodded happily, after staying in this palace for so many years, how could anyone dare to talk to her like this. The children and grandchildren or the concubines of the children and grandchildren that I usually see, which one is not respectful and cautious, for fear of saying the wrong thing, let alone those slaves.

When the old empress dowager's gaze touched Concubine Liu, the smile on her face faded, "Why are you here?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine knew that Rong'er had entered the palace, so she thought about giving her a gift......"

"Yes, grandmother, the concubine gave Rong'er a piece of porcelain, but Rong'er accidentally broke it."

The old queen mother glanced at the debris on the ground and said with a smile: "It's okay, if it's broken, it's broken, and grandmother will send you a few more." ”
