Chapter 165: The Family Banquet is Coming
The New Year is coming. It's not just the outside. King Rui's mansion is also lively. There is no Jade Lady this year. Although the remaining ladies and Su Yirong are not very right. But at least she won't make trouble for her openly like Lady Jade.
This made Su Yirong a lot less troublesome. In fact, not only now, they won't make trouble for Su Yirong. Since Lady Jade was punished. They're also a lot more honest.
Especially seeing that the relationship between Su Yirong and Leng Yanxi is getting better and better. Leng Yanxi even only lived in Su Yixuan, and the other ladies didn't even look at it. Su Yirong has the support of the Queen Mother. so that they don't even dare to gossip. I can only hold those words in my stomach. Honestly living his own little life in the yard.
I saw a few people like this. It's not a threat to her. It will not affect the relationship between the two. Su Yirong will not ask for trouble again. It's just self-deception, thinking that this house is really just her home with Leng Yanxi. Those people are just people who have nothing to do.
It's a bit ostrich to do that though. But I really can't think of anything else to do. Su Yirong can't really kick everyone out of the house. Don't say she doesn't have what it takes. Even if there is. Nor can you do that. Don't talk about the emperor and Leng Yanxi when the time comes. Even the queen mother who spoiled her would not be on her side again.
Then the eighth princess will be her role model. And these are the helplessness of being an ancient woman. Even if Leng Yanxi is good to her. It is impossible to marry only one of her.
But what relieved her was what Leng Yanxi was doing now. Although he never mentioned the matter of feelings. But I never went to any other lady's place. This is true for the men of this era. That's the limit. Compared to the many concubines in the palace of other princes, I don't know how much better they are jealous.
Su Yirong thinks of these every time. And I put up with it. Especially on this festive day of the New Year. I don't want to think about those who add blockage to my heart. I should not see them. Busy with your own business.
The affairs of the military camp of the thirteen princes are also very busy. Besides, he can't really be a prince who is a military camp for his home. It's so close to the capital and won't come back. That's impossible. Even if he wanted to. Neither would anyone else. In front of the emperor, he will definitely be disrespectful.
If you really did that. What awaits him at that time is certainly not a compliment. It's the troubles of colleagues and the dissatisfaction of the emperor. So even if he is stupid, he will leave the barracks and come back.
What's more, he can become Leng Yanxi's most powerful helper, where can he be stupid. So there was another regular visitor in King Rui's mansion. He had no mistress in his own house. It's all left to the housekeeper. Although it is also lively. But there is no homely atmosphere. Compared with. He likes it even more.
Su Yirong looked at him and remembered the events of that day. Although I know that he is not entirely to blame. But he's a man. Not only did they not let each other go. On the contrary, it also led Yue Ruru to quarrel with him. I've blamed him for everything.
"I said sixth sister-in-law. Don't be angry. Am I wrong? The next time I see her apologize to her. As long as you don't get angry with me anymore." The Thirteen Princes knew what kind of anger she was born with.
Su Yirong just rolled his eyes when he heard this. How dare I be angry with you Thirteen Princes. As for the things that make you apologize. I wouldn't dare to lend me courage."
The Thirteen Princes were helpless for a while." Sixth sister-in-law. If that's what you say about me. It's really shameless. I also have a hard time. Just spare me."
Su Yirong snorted coldly and didn't look at him. Turning his head to look at the man who hung up the lantern.
The Thirteen Princes standing on the side looked at her. Sighing helplessly. Sixth sister-in-law. You say. How the hell are you going to punish me? I can't admit it. But don't ignore me."
"What's the use of me punishing you. It's not me who you're messing with. Besides, I don't have that right." Su Yirong couldn't bear to punish him. Because this incident really can't be said to be all his fault. You can't be too unreasonable.
"Sixth sister-in-law. I know I shouldn't have to dismiss your face. But I really don't want to marry a princess. Especially a princess who is close together. Although she can help me in my career. But I really don't want my marriage to be affected by other factors. At least I don't need to marry anyone to help me in the future." The thirteenth prince knew that Su Yirong was angry with Yueru. It was impossible for him to apologize to Yueruru. He could only explain to Su Yirong.
"But you've made such a name. The age is there again. The emperor won't let you wait any longer. I'm optimistic that the two of you are not because Ru Ru is a princess. It's her." Su Yirong also understood him when he heard it. But there was a period of helplessness.
"I know this. But even if I marry an ordinary woman who can't help me. I don't want to marry a brutal princess. Besides, the princess and I I expect are best like the sixth sister-in-law and the sixth brother. Don't say the mountain alliance and the sea oath. and let each other foam together. Do you think she could be like this with me?" The Thirteen Princes inadvertently said what they thought in their hearts. He did envy Leng Yanxi. But I can only take this opportunity to say it.
Su Yirong sighed when he heard this. I don't know what to say for a while. She was amazed that the Thirteen Princes could still have such sincerity. But as a prince, he thinks about this. But it's not a good thing. Because these ideas may not come true in this lifetime.
Seeing that Su Yirong was no longer angry. The Thirteen Princes finally breathed a sigh of relief. But both of them fell silent. Each thinks about his heart.
Su Yirong wouldn't really be angry with him. After all, feelings are a matter for both parties. She can't force the thirteen princes to like Yue Ruru. So even if it's acting angry. They mostly pretend to scare him.
But next one. Neither the Thirteen Princes nor she had the heart to think about this. The palace banquet for the thirtieth year of Chinese New Year's Eve is coming soon. More than the Thirteen Princes are worried. Even Su Yirong was worried. As soon as the Thirteenth Prince and Yue Ruru met, it was like Mars hitting the earth. Where is the slightest ambiguity. So even Su Yirong didn't want the two of them to be together at this time.
The other princes had no such concerns. In their hearts, they only think about what if they get Yueruru. That is to have the support of the Moon Cold Country. For the future battle for the throne, there is a few more chances of winning. For emotional matters. Maybe I didn't even think about it.
So in contrast. The Thirteen Princes are much more down. And this is one of the reasons why Su Yirong is willing to fellowship with him. in her heart. The throne is up for grabs. But you can't compromise the means. She doesn't want the people around her to be like that.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve. Su Yirong is not like last year. Although I came to see the Queen Mother first. After chatting for a while. But he didn't leave her to rest in the palace anymore. When the time came, let her go to the banquet to meet Leng Yanxi. The Queen Mother knows how to be more measured than anyone else. At this time last year, it was because Su Yirong was pregnant. There is also a reason to keep her. But now there is no reason for that. If you keep Su Yirong by your side again, it won't help her. It's hurting her.
So this proves that Su Yirong not only did not fall out of favor. On the contrary, it is even more favored. The Queen Mother actually put herself in her shoes.
Return to Leng Yanxi's side. Just sat down. I saw Yue Ruru, who was also dressed up not far away. She was sitting on the other side with her brother. There was no joy or anger on her face at this time. There is only a sense of desolation that reveals from time to time. Anyone who sees it can't help but be infected by her.
I sighed in my heart. I could only nod at her. Yue Ruru understood what she meant. And just nod your head in understanding. The expressions of the two were in stark contrast to the lively scene.
Leng Yanxi also knew that Su Yirong was worried about her. But now is not the time to worry. Secretly pulled her a little. Motioned to her not to forget what this place was.
Su Yirong finally came back to his senses. She also knew that it would be too inappropriate to make such an expression at such a time. He smiled knowingly. A standard image of a princess.
Although she has always disliked this mask smile. Can be used as Princess Rui. It's something she had to do. And it can be said that it is even much better than others.
At this time, all the princes and princesses present were present. You don't have to be so inhibited. Su Yirong rested at the Queen Mother last year. Didn't come across this scene. This year, I didn't miss it. Everyone stood up and greeted each other. It doesn't matter if you hate each other to death in your heart. But at this time, he looks like a brother.
If it is an uninformed person. When you see it, you will definitely think that this is an ordinary family banquet that can no longer be ordinary. If there is no throne. That's true. But there is no if.
Su Yirong was talking and laughing with the princesses. It can be done in all aspects. Now she is more and more like a qualified princess.
The arrival of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. The family feast of the Chinese New Year's Eve also officially began. With the majesty of royalty. But it also has a little more warmth. This is for royals who value power and interests. It's already the rarest. I just don't know how long it will last.
Yue Ruru was the only outsider present. But everyone understood that she was no longer an outsider soon. Maybe this time next year, she will appear here as the princess of some prince.
Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking. The emperor also looked at Yue Ruru. The five princes on the side immediately understood. Asked with a smile. Princess Ruru and King Xuan have come to my Xuesang country for many days. How does it feel to be here?"
King Xuan smiled and looked at the Five Princes. The country of Xuesang is worthy of being the kingdom of the Celestial Empire. Indeed, the country is rich and the people are strong. Especially the land of the capital. It's so prosperous that we are very envious. I really don't know when we will reach the end of the month."
Listen to him. The fifth prince smiled smugly. But I also know that this is just a polite word. He will do the same." King Xuan is really humble. Who doesn't know that the country of the moon is also prosperous. It's no worse than us."
Both looked at each other and smiled. Raise a glass and drink it all. Only then did they look at each other and smile. He asked again. I don't know what the two of them think of the princes of our country. This alliance cannot be delayed any longer. Let's settle things today."
King Xuan listened to him. But his face changed. glanced at Yue Ruru on the side with pity. Bite one's tongue.
