Chapter 5: The Empress Summons
Since this day, there has been a lot of rumor in Beijing, saying that Su Jiao, the eldest lady of the Su family, has taken a fancy to a eunuch.
The Su family was sad for a few days, and Mrs. Su was distressed and angry, as for Su's father...... If it hadn't been for Mrs. Su to stop her, I'm afraid she would have let Su Jiao go to the ancestral hall a long time ago.
Two days later, a message came from the palace that the queen wanted Su Jiao to see her, Su Jiao had long expected that there would be today, so she got into the carriage and went to the palace.
The carriage slowly stopped, Su Jiao put away her messy thoughts and walked to the palace gate, thinking that it would be the palace maid next to the queen who came to pick her up, but she never expected that it was Xiao Huai'an.
The man was wearing a dark dress, with a knife still pinned to his waist, and his cold face did not show that he was a person with missing parts, but he was indescribably elegant and extravagant, and even abstinent.
Su Jiao swallowed her saliva in her thoughts, walked over and said, "Lord Xiao is here?" ”
Xiao Huai'an raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, I came to pick you up and go to the queen's palace." ”
Su Jiao was entangled for a moment and continued to ask, "Is it the queen...... Let you come? ”
Xiao Huai'an smiled but didn't say anything, and walked in front, Su Jiao had to follow.
Su Jiao's heart is very empty, he was seen doing bad things, he not only did not expose it, but also helped her cover up and testify, plus now that the rumors are boiling that he married him, it is even more awkward to look at him at this time.
But this person still wants to tease: "Why does the eldest lady look at me with such eyes?" ”
He did not call himself a minion, let alone a minister, but put himself and her on an equal footing.
Su Jiao was a little distracted, and said without thinking: "Lord Xiao, do you have a wife?" ”
After asking, she regretted it.
Xiao Huaian chuckled twice: "No, what?" The eldest lady is as rumored, do you really want to marry me, a eunuch? ”
Su Jiao pursed her lips: "Also...... It's not impossible. ”
Xiao Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then stopped his pace, and Su Jiao almost hit him.
"What's wrong?"
"Here," Xiao Huai'an said, "The eldest lady will go in by herself, I will leave first if I have something to do." ”
After that, he turned around and left, without the slightest intention of responding to the topic just now.
Su Jiao rubbed her face and entered Fengyi Palace under the guidance of the maid.
The queen was burning sandalwood and reading the scriptures, and when she saw her coming, she said, "Come and sit." ”
Su Jiao sat beside her with some restraint: "I don't know what happened to the queen mother calling her courtiers to come?" ”
The queen looked at the girl in front of her, her expression was inexplicable, speaking of which, Su Jiao can be regarded as her growing up, and it would be great if she could be her daughter-in-law.
It is true that Xu Rulie is not in the first place, but Su Jiao compares her son with a eunuch, and she is not very happy.
Thinking of this, the queen's voice was a little colder: "It's nothing, rumors have been spreading in Beijing recently, and His Majesty ordered the palace to find out the source, so the palace called you to ask for questions." ”
Su Jiao smiled: "The courtiers must know everything." ”
After speaking, as if she remembered something, she took out the double carp jade pendant from her sleeve, held it with both hands and presented it: "Queen Mother, this is a token given to the courtiers when the third highness went to the Su family a few days ago, but the courtiers knew that they were not as good as the sisters of the family, so they did not follow the mixture, and the double carp jade pendant was returned, and I hope that the third highness can get what he wants and marry his sister as a concubine as soon as possible." ”
The queen took the jade pendant and frowned: "This is what Rulie gave you?" ”
"Exactly," Su Jiao said. "His Royal Highness also said that I am not worthy of the side concubine, and promised to marry my sister as the main concubine, and let my sister wait for him in the Su family."
The queen's hand holding the jade pendant clenched suddenly, and she secretly scolded this evil obstacle in her heart!
After Xu Rulie came back that day, she was hesitant, she asked several times, and he said that he gave it, and the co-author gave it was a side concubine jade pendant, not to mention Su Jiao, that is, she felt that Xu Rulie's trip was to deliberately humiliate others, no wonder Su Jiao would say that she wanted to marry Xiao Huai'an, she was really hurt by him.
The queen sighed lightly and closed her eyes, originally she wanted to knock Su Jiao and tell her not to say things that shouldn't be said, but now she has become herself who has ignored her, but she has nothing to say.
After a while, the queen was reluctant to say: "Are you really unwilling to marry Rulie?" As long as you are still willing, there is a way in this palace, let him marry you as a concubine. ”
Su Jiao lowered her head and said softly: "Niangniang, the third highness does not have me in his heart, the twisted melon is not sweet, there are women in this deep palace who are favored and have a hard time, if they are not treated by their husbands, I am afraid that it will only be more tormenting, the courtiers are blessed, thank you Niangniang for this love." ”
The queen didn't say anything after all, only called her back.
Before Su Jiao left the palace gate, she saw a familiar figure - Xiao Huai'an.
Seeing him walking towards him, Su Jiao subconsciously stood in place, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "Is there anything else about Lord Xiao?" ”
"Naturally, the eldest lady is now a busy person in this palace." He opened his mouth to tease, but without saying anything, he turned and walked forward.
Su Jiao had no choice but to follow behind him, and asked weakly: "Lord Xiao, the rumors are my fault, if you want to ask the teacher for guilt, my lord said that the little woman will definitely not deceive." ”
With his head down, he was weak before, but now he really has a bit of an attitude of admitting his mistakes.
"Bang."
She bumped into Xiao Huai'an, and he, who was walking in front, actually stopped at some point, but he didn't pay attention at all.
Looking up at his face, he found that he was only up to his neck, facing his glass-like indifferent eyes, and he was also looking at himself?
The cold face has no expression, abstinence, is the first label Su Jiao put on him.
Obviously, his face hasn't changed, but why do I feel that he is looking at me and smiling?
"Miss, it's indecent for you to do this."
The magnetic voice murmured into Su Jiao's ears, just this skin, just this voice, in the era when Su Jiao lived before, it would definitely become a star of major companies!
It's a pity that he's just a eunuch.
"Miss?"
He raised an eyebrow and he smiled, this time for real.
"Ahh
Su Jiao whispered, and hurriedly took a step back, only then did he react, he was close to him, such a distance is indeed indecent.
There was a flush on her face, Su Jiao found that she was shy, that's right, she was shy about Xiao Huai'an.
If there was still much of that thing, Su Jiao thought so.
However, it would be nice to have a platonic love with him.
The corners of Xiao Huai'an's mouth rose, looked at Su Jiao, his eyes were slightly curved, and he returned to the original topic: "I don't care about rumors, and didn't the eldest lady also say it before, isn't it impossible to marry me?" ”
"Ahh
This time it was really screaming.
Su Jiao froze in place, looking at Xiao Huai'an's glass-like eyes, a little unaware.
What does he mean by that?
Is this a response?
Is this promised?
didn't dare to ask, saw Xiao Huai'an didn't say anything, turned around and left, and left a sentence without looking back, "It's Your Majesty who wants to see you, let's go quickly, don't miss the time." ”
"Oh."
Su Jiao didn't listen to him carefully, walked with her head down, and looked at his back.
His back is straight and wide, he is a tall man, looking at it from behind, he wears a casual and obedient black dress, which makes people forget the existence of his body, such a person is stronger than Xu Rulie.
What is the favorite male protagonist in a lifetime, if Su Jiao is allowed to write, Xiao Huaian should be the male protagonist.
