Chapter 672: The Eighth Prince's Wedding
He laughed cruelly.
The words he spoke, but he went against his heart to the extreme.
The two of them left the palace and came to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, which had already gathered the powerful families of Chang'an City, which was particularly lively and noisy.
After worshipping heaven and earth, Su Jiu came to the new house and saw Zhao Wuyang sitting alone on the couch.
Although the national style of Great Qi is open, and it is not a shame for a woman to remarry, but the prince's bones are not cold, and Zhao Wuyang married his younger brother before even the mourning period, which is inevitably criticized in people's hearts.
So even if those powerful people came to watch the ceremony, the women were disdainful of Zhao Wuyang, except for Su Jiu, no one added makeup to her, and no one came to make a new house.
Zhao Wuyang slowly devoured the chestnut cake.
Su Jiu walked over and reached out to knock down the flower cake.
Zhao Wuyang licked his fingertips, "Su Jiu, are you looking for death?" β
"The prince is gone, aren't you a little sad?" Su Jiu was cold, "He loves you with his life, and you repay him by marrying his brother without even blinking an eye?" β
Zhao Wuyang chuckled.
She raised her head, her delicate face full of mockery and coldness, "Su Jiu, you are a smart person, but your temperament is full of the kindness of a woman." If I don't seduce Yuan Min, I will be killed by Empress Zhao, but I don't want to die yet. β
Su Jiu raised his hand to cover his eyes.
During this period of time, she has experienced unprecedented suffering, and she has forgotten how much Empress Zhao hates Zhao Wuyang......
"Su Jiu," Zhao Wuyang got up and gently hugged her shoulders, his tone was soft as if bewitching, "I heard that Xiao Tingchen has been torturing you all this time?" As I expected, you and him are not suitable, the most suitable man in the world is Xie Rongjing. β
Su Jiu was silent.
"Xiao Tingchen is tyrannical and cruel, but you are kind and soft-hearted. Xiao Tingchen is domineering and mean, while you are humble and tolerant. You and him are not all the way, it was a mistake to come together by mistake at the beginning, can you continue to make mistakes in the future? β
Su Jiu frowned, "Zhao Wuyang, what exactly do you want to say?" β
Zhao Wuyang smiled.
The daughters of the Zhao family are almost all born beautiful and exquisite, her thin lips are curled when she laughs, and she has a cold and confident beauty like a porcelain doll.
She said slowly: "Including Empress Zhao and Xiao Tingchen, countless people want the throne. From ancient times to the present, dynasties have changed, and countless people with surnames have sat on that throne. Others can sit, why can't Xie Rongjing sit? As long as he becomes the emperor of the world, crushing Xiao Tingchen is just a matter of words. At that time, Su Jiu, you are the queen of the world, with Xie Rongjing's strength to favor you, do you want the wind to be windy and rainy, and still need to suffer the current qi? β
When she opened her mouth, it was a big rebellious remark.
Su Jiu's face was expressionless.
What's wrong with this group of people, they all want to rebel?
Zhao Wuyang's lacquered eyes shone brightly, "Su Jiu, Xie Rongjing is going to Dongli this time, and I have ordered him to find a way to secretly embezzle military power." He has soldiers, I am a strategist, and the Zhou family and the Xie family are supported by the magnates, and when Xiao Tingchen and Empress Zhao are both defeated, let's take advantage of the fisherman, why worry about the big thing? ! β
Zhao Wuyang...... You are crazy? β
"It's the best way, do you do it or not?" Zhao Wuyang raised his chin impatiently.
Su Jiu stared at her.
She was young, proud, and fearless.
As if the world is not chaotic enough, they are scrambling to incite others, in a vain attempt to add a touch of color to this troubled world.
Su Jiu shook his head slowly, "What I want is not the world, let alone the dragon chair." Zhao Wuyang, you don't understand me. β
She got up and left.
Zhao Wuyang was displeased, "Su Jiu, don't regret it!" β
Su Jiu has walked away quickly.
The mansion is lively.
Su Jiu came to the garden and saw Xiao Tingchen sitting at the banquet from a distance, eating wine and laughing with others.
She passed through the maidservant and sat down beside him without saying a word.
There was silence at the round table for a moment, and an official said with a smile: "I have heard that the princess is beautiful for a long time, and I could only watch it from a distance in the past, but today I saw it up close, and it really captivated the country and the city." β
Su Jiu lowered his eyes.
She knew that the people at this table were all officials loyal to Xiao Tingchen, and she praised her for her good looks, but in fact, she slapped Xiao Tingchen's ass in a different way.
She ignored the official and drank half a glass of wine alone.
The official smiled, "The princess is really ...... Very unusual. β
"I'm not a princess anymore." Su Jiu raised his eyes, his gaze sarcastic, "I'm just the regent's concubine, just his plaything." β
The official was even more confused.
Even the atmosphere at the banquet became awkward.
Xiao Tingchen didn't mind Su Jiu smashing his field at all, bent his peach blossom eyes, and gently picked up the dishes for her, "The puffer fish meat cooked by the chef of the Eight Emperors' Mansion is tender and delicious, and it does not lose the skills of the chef of Liangzhou Ci, my sister can taste it." β
Su Jiu was indifferent.
So Xiao Tingchen personally picked up the puffer fish meat and sent it to her lips, and his tone was irrefutable, "Open your mouth." β
Su Jiu opened his mouth.
Carefully cooked puffer fish meat is a rare delicacy in the world, and it is safe to enjoy without any toxins.
But Su wine didn't enjoy it at all.
At this time, a eunuch came to the queen's decree, saying that he wanted to reward the eight princesses.
Su Jiu squinted, Queen Zhao should have come to the banquet in person, but she hastily sent a few eunuchs to give gifts, which shows that she is indeed very dissatisfied with Zhao Wuyang, the daughter-in-law.
Zhao Wuyang and Yuan Min came out to receive the order in person, and several eunuchs carried a mahogany box rewarded by Empress Zhao to everyone, and said with a smile: "The queen has a will, please open it in person to watch it." β
Everyone gradually gathered around, looking at the wooden box curiously, knowing that Empress Zhao was afraid that she was going to give the Eighth Emperor Concubine a horse.
Zhao Wuyang unhurriedly opened the wooden box.
There's a tablet in thereβ
The tablet of Prince Yuanxu.
The little eunuch said with a smile: "Niangniang said that you can marry His Royal Highness the Eighth, which shows that you are blessed, so we asked us to arrange the tablet of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in your bedroom, and please pray for the prince day and night." β
There was silence during the banquet, and the atmosphere became more and more eerie.
Yuan Min frowned, and was about to have a seizure, when Zhao Wuyang smiled and grabbed his arm.
She smiled charmingly, "Please tell the queen mother, as she wishes, the daughter-in-law will pray for His Royal Highness the Prince, and also ask her to take care of her health, and the daughter-in-law will enter the palace with His Royal Highness tomorrow morning to say goodbye." β
She looked at Won Min with lingering sympathy.
Yuan Min only thought that Zhao Wuyang was willing to compromise with Queen Zhao because he loved him deeply, and he was moved for a while, and he interlocked his fingers with her, and said coldly: "Since the things have been delivered, why don't you get out of here?!" I can't see you eunuchs in this hall on weekdays, and today I got married, and you ran to the palace house, which really dirty the territory of this hall! β
Several of the attendants were embarrassed in front of Empress Zhao, and they were so humiliated, their faces were hot and painful, and they hurriedly left with shame and anger.
