Chapter 244: Other Families Rejoice in the Death of a Family
"When you are alive, you want to get rid of it and then you are dying, and you use it to show off in front of the people, you really deserve to be the most ruthless emperor. Don't bother you, thank Huai'an for me. ”
"Yes." Mu Hibiscus nodded, but when she saw Su Jiao tossing like this all day, the whole person lost weight, and she took her hand with some concern, "It's just madam, you still have to take care of your body, fortunately, the old lady is just a little cold and fever, and when the slave and maid gave someone to Mu Gongzi to help in the afternoon, Mu Gongzi was also very worried about his wife's well-being." ”
"I was too tired of him, he had no obligation to do me, and when this matter is over, you can give him a few silver tickets." Although he may not be rare, he is also a heart. ”
When Su Jiao heard this, she originally felt a little clueless, and because of Yang Ruopei's matter, her mind became a paste page, and she was not in the mood to talk to these good friends anymore, so she had to ask Mu Hibiscus to do it for her.
Mu Hibiscus nodded, and he didn't know if Su Jiao listened to his words, in order to force Su Jiao to have a chance to rest, Mu Hibiscus took the initiative to take over the work of serving at Yang Ruopei's bedside, and then it was soon at night, and Xiao Huai'an came back from outside late.
"You went to court today, did you hear what Your Majesty said?"
Xiao Huai'an had just come back and changed the cloak on his body, but it was Su Jiao who came over and hung it on the hanger on the side, he was suddenly a little stunned, I don't know if he was moved by her taking the initiative to come over to serve, or what she asked.
"The crime of treason, in addition to beheading, should be punished by the nine clans. However, my mother-in-law is now in our house, and I think that if someone helps her to intercede, she may be able to escape. ”
"Even the nine clans, but they don't necessarily have to atone for their sins with their lives, such a decisive disposition, I really haven't heard of it." Su Jiao sneered again, and actually began to untie Xiao Huai'an's wide clothes and change into dry home clothes.
"The edict clothes handed down from my grandmother's generation, although they are a little wet, but after today's shade drying, they have recovered a little, and they should still be able to wear them, but the color and appearance are very different from before."
Xiao Huai'an was really not used to Su Jiao coming over to serve him, so he quickly stood up and took off his robe. "That's good. Tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, I will go to attend, you stay in the house, if you want to do something, just let it go. ”
"You know what I'm going to do?" Su Jiao was happy to listen to it for a while, and withdrew her hand and sat in the position where he was just sitting.
"Perhaps. You and I are one in honor and disgrace, and naturally I will support you in whatever you do. Xiao Huai'an saw her look playful like this, and deliberately spoke like this.
"Unconditional? Sometimes I really don't understand why you're helping me like this. Although it was the expected answer, Su Jiao still felt that it was difficult to understand, stood up and took a few steps closer, looked at him for a moment, and then returned to her room.
Xiao Huai'an also quietly watched Su Jiao leave, retracted his gaze, and shook his head helplessly, if he asked the reason, maybe he should ask Su Jiao. When to be able to give yourself equal trust.
Next. Night.
Although it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is still hot, so the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are still lively and lively.
To the southeast, there is a large plum garden surrounding the Red Plum Pavilion, and on the opposite side is another lotus pond.
On the lotus pond, the arch bridge and water corridor made of mahogany and white marble, look at the past from a distance, inlaid between the pink flowers and green leaves, it seems to complement each other, very beautiful.
All the officials' wives like to pass through the water corridor here, and the Red Plum Pavilion enjoys the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers by the way, while Xiao Huai'an enters the main hall of the Red Plum Pavilion alone with the turbidity of the eyebrows in the court.
Su Rili is a high-ranking person, the most eye-catching, and today is no exception, it is Taiwei who never participates in such an occasion, and almost everyone's attention falls on Xiao Huai'an's side.
As soon as they saw that there was no Su Jiao by his side, many people had a general understanding in their hearts, and they were afraid that after the Yang family was lonely, it would also affect Xiao Huai'an's status to some extent.
And in the same way, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and the three princes Xu Rulie and Su Lian, who have not seen each other for many days, because Su Lian is only a two-month-old child in her womb, both of them are very proud, and many officials led by Li Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who supported the three princes to win the throne, came to congratulate and congratulate.
"Congratulations, congratulations, the third prince is young and promising, and he is the first prince in the court to have a grandson, such a blessing, but others can't ask for it, and when the eldest emperor and grandson are born next year, the good days of the three princes must be approaching."
Li Shangshu held his wine glass, and the other officials knew that they were a little more restrained, but he wished that others would know how much they expected from the three princes, and he took the lead in expressing warm congratulations to the three princes.
And Xu Rulie has not received any position for the time being because of the scandalous incident with the envoys of the Japanese State before, and even when the epidemic breaks out in the city, his only task is to stay in the mansion and protect Su Lian and the child in her belly.
But in the face of the common compliments of so many people, several rounds of sugar-coated shells still made him gradually lose himself.
Xu Rulie was very careful to let Su Lian sit down next to him, and he held the wine glass and responded to the wine they had brought over one by one.
"Your Excellency has overdone it, and Your Highness understands it."
Su Lian saw that Xu Rulie was so happy, and she felt the same joy herself. It's just that now at this time, the queen also came to the Red Plum Pavilion, and at a glance she saw Su Lian sitting in front, smiling and stroking her belly that was not obviously bulging.
She immediately thought that Su Lian's smile was because she was able to participate in the royal state banquet as a concubine, so she was so proud, and she was immediately unhappy in her heart, and sent Du Juan to ask Su Lian to sit elsewhere, and urged Xu Rulie not to drink too much wine.
Du Juan received the order, of course, he would not go to Xu Rulie to touch his head first, so he walked straight to the side of the Soviet Union, and whispered with a smile.
"Aunt Su, there are too many people here to toast, for the sake of the emperor and grandson in your belly, why don't you go and sit down next to you first?"
Su Lian turned her head, and when she saw that it was a cuckoo, the smile on her face stiffened a little, and she pressed one hand on the table, but she refused to move.
"No need, I'm just here to watch His Highness, it's good."
Hearing this, Du Juan's whole face has changed in a dazzling color, I heard from Su Jiao before, Xiao Huai'an still can't believe it, but now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he realized that Xu Rulie's drama here is also wonderful.
As soon as Xiao Huai'an's eyes turned, he saw Xu Rulie not far away, still immersed in everyone's praise, and he didn't notice Su Lian's movement at all.
He sneered in his heart and slowly sat down in his place.
I haven't seen Xu Rulie in the past few days, Xiao Huai'an still feels a little unaccustomed, but when I met it today, I was instantly aroused, and my previous impression of Xu Rulie really hasn't changed at all.
Soon, after the emperor personally came to the Hongmei Pavilion, all the officials returned to their positions, and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet officially began.
At the same time, against the gradually brighter starry sky and moonlight in the sky, Su Jiao sat in a sedan chair with a solemn face, and came all the way to Dengwen Drum.
She got off the sedan chair, but a few steps to Deng Wengu, although the night here is a little dim, but in front of the Qinglong Gate, the light of the torch next to the guard, can still clearly see what she is wearing, it is actually the set of dry command clothes.
At this time, it was the beginning of the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and he was a smart person, so he would not choose to make trouble at this time, but Su Jiao just pinched a little, and came here in such an offensive outfit, which startled all the guards guarding the door, and almost sure that Su Jiao came here this time with the intention of looking for death.
Su Jiao didn't care about the eyes of these guards at all, scared of the most dignified walking posture, and knelt down heavily in front of the Dengwen drum, Mu Hibiscus was also completely confused about this, but she couldn't persuade her, so she could only ask with Mu Rong very helplessly.
"Haven't you always felt the most sorry for Madame? How could Madame be allowed to come over and do such a thing? ”
Mu Rong's face was solemn, but she didn't answer, Diecui Town helped Xiaolian take care of Yang Ruopei, so only the two of them came over, Su Jiao closed her eyes, clasped her hands together as if praying, and suddenly shouted, "Hibiscus, go beat the drum." ”
"Madam, this ......" Mu Hibiscus was stunned for a moment, she didn't care much about herself, but she was afraid that Su Jiao would get into trouble, but Su Jiao's attitude was so firm, she didn't care about it, so she had to act according to the order.
Then, with the first drum sounding, Su Jiao raised her eyes and shouted loudly behind the city gate, "The epidemic in the city, there is another hidden secret, it is framed by others." The courtiers are witnesses, and I ask Your Majesty to be gracious, retry this case, and return my Yang family's innocence! ”
The loud voice echoed in the square in front of the Qinglong Gate for a long time, but even if Su Jiao's voice was loud, it was impossible to reach the palace, especially the Hongmei Pavilion where the banquet was being held.
However, this capital is full of emperors, and Su Jiao has such a big battle, and it doesn't take a moment for someone to personally go to the emperor's ear to complain. When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he glanced meaningfully in the direction of Xiao Huai'an.
Xiao Huai'an obviously noticed it, but this time he deliberately pretended to be stupid and poured wine alone, the emperor retracted his gaze, and didn't say anything after all, but with such obvious eyes, almost everyone sitting in front of him could see it clearly.
It's just a matter of others, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu likes to watch the excitement the most, especially if he can't kill Huai'an, so he deliberately came to ridicule.
"Lord Xiao is really interested, pouring wine alone and enjoying himself, why didn't I see Mrs. come over with me today, weren't adults and Mrs. Xiao inseparable before?"
