Chapter 126: A Mountain Is Taller Than A Mountain
"His Royal Highness was smart when he was young, and it was His Majesty who accompanied His Highness the most, and His Royal Highness was dissatisfied that he was powerless, so he had to stay in another hospital to recuperate, and it was also because of His Majesty's decision, does His Highness feel that His Majesty no longer cares about you?"
was silent as expected, Su Jiao didn't force him to answer, and after standing here for so long, she was really tired, so she took the umbrella and followed into the pavilion, and sat down on the stool opposite Xu Ruyu, blocking the sun for a while.
"The courtier's rudeness, Your Majesty, Your Highness who is diligent and loves the people, is also clear in your heart, Your Majesty has not come to see you for many days, the reason for this is not easy for me to speculate, maybe he is worried that the two will increase their sadness when they meet, but this does not mean that Your Majesty does not care about you."
"On the contrary, although the courtier's father can see each other every day, he has never taken me as his own daughter in his eyes since he was a child, but has been particularly attentive to the daughter of his adopted old friend, and I have doubted more than once whether I am his biological daughter."
Saying that, as long as Su Jiao remembered the few times she had gotten along with Master Su before, it made her heart almost vomit, especially the last time he rescued Su Lian in order to frame himself, and pretended to be a loving father, which was really disgusting.
Xu Ruyu turned her head slightly, and when she saw her say this, her body trembled involuntarily a few times, and she knew that what she said was true.
"Xiao Huai'an's wife, the daughter of Su Zhongshi, the waiter of the Sanpin Ministry of the Central Committee of the DPRK, the second daughter Su Lian because she has long been in contact with the third brother, you decided to break the marriage contract in a fit of anger and marry Xiao Huai'an, and the father favored Xiao Huai'an, so he actually agreed to such a decision."
When the words landed, Su Jiao was a little stunned, but there was no mockery in his words, so she didn't take it to heart. "Although His Royal Highness is in another courtyard, he knows everything about things in the capital."
"It's just that I've listened to Xu Yin say a few words, and it's not very clear." Xu Ruyu replied lightly, not caring at all about the ridicule in Su Jiao's words.
"Second Highness, the relationship with Steward Xu is not bad." Su Jiao nodded and sighed, as soon as she heard this, Xu Ruyu's expression softened a little.
"He has been a scholar of His Highness since he was a child, but he barely said a few words, and he was afraid that others would not take care of him, so His Highness made him a housekeeper."
The scholars who are assigned to the prince in the palace are not also a special group of people, no wonder when he was at the door, he looked at Xu Yin's appearance and tended to be feminine, but it's a pity, people with the same appearance as Xiao Huai'an and Xu Yin, do they have to have been devastated?
Thinking about it, Su Jiao shook her head with some pity, fortunately, Xiao Huai'an's physical condition was still clear to her, if Xu Jiao was also a sound person, it could be regarded as a blessing from God.
"Since your father loves your sister so much, and even forces you to the point where you can only marry Xiao Huai'an, have you ever held a grudge against him?"
If you marry Xiao Huai'an, you shouldn't be able to use the word force, if the ladies in the city know that he is safe and sound, I am afraid that they may not be able to marry in line.
Su Jiao sighed in her heart, and heard Xu Ruyu's sudden question. I looked at the world very seriously and thought about it.
"It's impossible to say that there is not the slightest fluctuation in my heart, but for the sake of him being my biological father, the word resentment is a bit too much." The key is whether it can be regarded as resentment, and it can only depend on what kind of mood the original owner is, and he can only be regarded as indifferent to Su Zhongshi.
"I thought that anyway, as a daughter, I have already married, that is someone from another family, and at least half of my mother's work has nothing to do with me, since my father is so reluctant to see me, then I only need to take care of my mother to spend the rest of her life in peace."
"If it is replaced by a man, it is the situation of my family, then it will be better solved, the man does not have to start a family and start a business can also muster up the courage to stand on his own, since he is tired of seeing each other, why not leave it behind, and make himself unhappy by dividing it into a clean and provincial way, but call the people watching the excitement next to him to look at it."
Su Jiao clapped her hands, and what she said was her energetic consciousness, forgetting that she was talking in front of Xu Ruyu. Xu Ruyu listened to her words, and was also very touched in his heart, and lowered his head silently.
"Mrs. Xiao is so open-minded, it is really admirable, His Royal Highness can be regarded as understanding, arrogant as Xiao Huai'an, can actually respect you like a guest for so long, and there are many of them Mrs. Xiao herself is a respected capable person."
"Your Highness has really won the award, I can't bear it." Accustomed to Xu Ruyu's yin and yang weirdness and unwillingness, he suddenly heard Xu Ruyu speak so normally, but Su Jiao was not very comfortable.
"Mrs. Xiao just persuaded His Royal Highness, how can I change it to myself, but I don't dare to accept it, His Royal Highness and Mrs. Xiao can be regarded as an instant acquaintance, sympathizing with each other, if you are free another day, Madame may as well come over with Lord Xiao for a walk."
I don't know what Xu Ruyu was inspired by when he heard Su Jiao's words, he who had always been gloomy, unexpectedly curled the corners of his lips, and that obvious smile made Su Jiao feel more incredible than seeing Xiao Huai'an laughing.
Speaking of which, the second prince, who has been neglected from the original book to the present, can suddenly be optimistic, which is actually a good thing, after all, most of the scenes are in the battle for the throne between the third prince Xu Rulie and the fifth prince Xu Ruzhu, and he will not be inexplicably blackened and do anything out of the ordinary.
Thinking about it this way, if a young man who may have suffered from depression for a long time changes his personality because of the guidance of his life mentor and thus reaches the peak of life, then his eloquence is really devastating and earth-shattering.
Su Jiao suddenly felt that his soul had been sublimated, as if he had become the creator who saved his life, and a sense of pride arose.
"Second Highness is too polite, if there is a chance, I will definitely come over with Huai'an to visit," Su Jiao smiled and waved her hand embarrassedly. "It's not too early, so I'll take my leave. The second prince has been here all along, but you want me to help ......"
"Don't bother Mrs. Xiao, Xu Yi will come over in a while, Madame, please go slowly." Before Su Jiao's words were finished, he waved his hand in advance.
With such thoughtful consideration of the concerns in the hearts of others, it is no wonder that these two princes were also smash hit candidates for the crown prince.
The thought in Su Jiao's mind flashed, and Xu Ruyu nodded politely, and went out in the direction he pointed out before, but just after turning a corner, he saw Xu Rulie standing behind the flower bed with a malicious face.
"Although it is an open-air seat, it is a lonely man and a widow. How about the second emperor brother, where is the need for Mrs. Xiao to come over and meddle in things, is Mrs. Xiao really out of good intentions, or does she have ulterior motives? ”
Xu Rulie's indifferent mockery was even more annoying than what he had seen before.
Although there is still a long way to go from the pavilion over there, it is only a superficial phenomenon, and the first turn is a tree wall cut by a row of shrubs, and if you take a few dozen steps back to the right, it is not difficult to hear the sound of the pavilion in front of you.
However, Su Jiao was really not sure how much Xu Rulie had heard, so she didn't say anything wrong, and she was not afraid of him.
After thinking about it, Su Jiao let go of her hands, waved her sleeves slightly, and then raised her head and looked back with the same disdain.
"The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, what the three princes think is what they see. Speaking of which, I really don't need to say those words to His Second Highness, but for the eldest princess to worry, I just greeted and persuaded the princess a few words, if His Royal Highness heard it from the beginning to the end, he shouldn't know it. ”
"Heh, do you think His Royal Highness is the kind of person who listens to people, it's just that I overheard a few words, but Mrs. Xiao uses this explanation to prevaricate His Highness, which is too far-fetched."
Su Jiao's eyes widened angrily, and he took a deep breath before he was about to refute it, so he snatched the conversation from him again. "His Royal Highness kindly advises Mrs. Xiao, the second prince is about to marry the lord of Peony, who is close to the Japanese country, if there are any rumors at this time, it will be a scandal for both of us."
"What does the Third Highness mean by this, but anyone who has reason and brains will not be able to say anything immoral, not to mention that I can't fight with the Second Highness with three poles, just because a few words have caused the Third Highness to speculate like this, it's really ridiculous."
Su Jiao snorted coldly, Xu Rulie actually came to find trouble like this, why should he be polite to him, anyway, if things make a big deal later, even if he can't get much benefit, he has to let him know some pain.
"You dare to sarcastically mock Your Highness." Xu Rulie's eyes widened, but he didn't completely lose his IQ, and he could still hear the subtext in Su Jiao's words.
The corners of Su Jiao's mouth twitched, and she looked up without flinching, and when the two were facing each other, a gentle female voice suddenly came from behind.
"Mrs. Xiao, the queen mother has gotten up, presumably she will be able to return soon, I specially came to look for you to go back and prepare to pack your things."
The voice landed, and under the support of Qinglan, it was Mrs. Zhang, who had always been known for her elegance and dignity.
Because after marrying the only daughter of Hubu Shangshu, he never let Zhang Yuge have a peaceful birthday for the first half of the day, Xu Rulie still felt a little unreasonable for Mrs. Zhang.
Originally, there was a lot of words that were ready to mock Su Jiao, and they swallowed it back silently, but Xu Rulie was still a little strange, even if Su Jiao and Zhang Yuge had a good relationship, Mrs. Zhang had never liked to meddle in things, how could she take the initiative to find it this time, could it be really an accident?
"Ah, it turns out that the Third Highness is also here, I heard that the Third Highness was injured on his hand to save His Majesty, and now you feel better?"
