Chapter 240: Going to the Banquet
Su Xiyun only glanced at it before retracting her gaze and lowering the curtain.
"Uncle Zhou, give him a little silver. Go and apologize. Su Xiyun commanded lightly.
Zhou Can, who was disguised as a middle-aged uncle, answered with a bitter face, and when he was about to get out of the car to give the man silver, he found that the man had turned around and left in stride in the gap between his words. The slender figure quickly disappeared around the corner.
"Miss, people are far away." Zhou Can said helplessly.
Su Xiyun was a little surprised when she heard this, but she remembered the face she had just seen that was as strong as iron, and she understood that this was a person with backbone, even if she didn't leave, she might not want her silver. She nodded and said, "In that case, let's continue to catch the car." ”
Zhou Can responded. And then the carriage was driven fast and steady.
Su Xiyun sat in the carriage and frowned tightly all the time, she didn't pay attention to what happened just now, because, waiting for the place she was about to go, and the people she wanted to see had already occupied all her thoughts. There wouldn't be anyone or anything to distract her at the moment.
"Don't worry too much, there must be in front of the driveway." Su Qianyun took her hand and said solemnly: "It's just to watch a play, why do you want to think so much." ”
Su Xiyun smiled bitterly, but she was a little less nervous because of Su Qianyun's concern, and she nodded. "I see." ”
Su Qianyun looked at her again. Only then did he let go of the hand that was holding her.
The carriage passed through several streets unimpeded, and then stopped steadily in front of the gate of the Seven Emperors' Mansion.
As soon as Su Xiyun got out of the carriage, she was surprised to find that there were a lot of carriages parked here, which was not much more than on the day of the wedding of the Seven Emperors. The carriages were all empty, and only the coachman was still dutifully waiting, and needless to say, the people in the carriage were already in the magnificent gate.
It seems that after being the Seventh Imperial Princess, this lively sex has not been much restrained, and today, in addition to their sisters, the famous ladies in the capital should have almost all been invited.
Thinking like this, Su Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
But at this time. Su Xiyun suddenly heard a sound of light footsteps behind her, accompanied by a gentle voice: "Second Miss Su, Miss Su." It's good that we're finally meeting again. ”
As she spoke, Du Ruoyun, who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, walked over slowly with the support of the two maids, and behind her, a very new carriage was parked.
Although Su Xiyun hated this person very much, she had to put a smile on her face, and nodded to her with Su Qianyun to greet her: "Young Lady Qin." ”
Du Ruoyun slowly walked in front of Su Xiyun and said with a smile: "The two girls are really dressed up today, let's go, the Seventh Imperial Concubine should be anxious to wait inside." Let's go in quickly, and listen to her nagging later. As he spoke, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he naturally turned around and walked towards the Seven Emperors' Mansion first.
Su Xiyun and Su Qianyun glanced at each other, and slowly followed her up the bluestone steps. Today's scene is exactly the same as the day Jingyi got married.
Su Xiyun was very puzzled, seeing Du Ruoyun like this, she should have arrived a long time ago, but she never entered the palace, but waited for the two sisters outside. In the eyes of outsiders, they went in together, which invisibly brought them closer to Du Ruoyun.
But why did Du Ruoyun do this?
Su Xiyun was puzzled.
But this is not the time to think about this, Du Ruoyun has already entered, and the two of them can only follow behind and passively accept all this.
The treatment behind Mrs. Qin is naturally different, and the people in the palace who met above all nodded their heads and bowed, and their posture was very respectful, of course, Su Xiyun would not think that these subordinates were so enthusiastic that they were aimed at the two sisters, she laughed at herself that the two of them were stained with Du Ruoyun's light.
The Seventh Imperial Concubine seemed to attach great importance to the first party she held after marriage, and for people like Sister Su Xiyun and Du Ruoyun who came late, she also sent someone to wait at the gate, and at this moment, the solemn-faced grandmother took them to the back garden. Seeing that Du Ruoyun was very appreciative of the scenery in the palace, she casually introduced a few scenic spots to them.
"Everyone, please see, the Lingling stone on the rockery was specially ordered by my prince to bring it in, and it took a lot of effort, just because our princess liked it, he got it."
After the Seventh Emperor Qi Yan got married, he was named the Virtuous King by the emperor, and the lord of Jingyi became the Virtuous Princess. That's why this woman said this.
Du Ruoyun nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Xian to have such a deep relationship with the princess, and the husband and wife are so affectionate, I really envy others." ”
Su Xiyun listened to it and wanted to laugh, obviously King Xian brushed his sleeves away on the wedding night, and let Princess Xian stay alone in the empty room, this is something that the whole capital knows, but at this moment, Du Ruoyun's face did not change and his heart did not beat and said such words as 'husband and wife love', which is really profound!
Who knew that the woman actually said excitedly when she heard this: "Young Madam Qin doesn't have to be envious, the slave believes that Qin Shi will turn back one day, young lady, the day of your happiness is still ahead!" ”
Su Xiyun almost laughed out loud when she heard this, this woman is really funny!
Sure enough, Du Ruoyun's face stiffened for a moment, but the next moment she returned to normal: "Okay, your princess should be in a hurry, let's go over quickly." In a word, the topic was lightly diverted.
The woman was really affected by Du Ruoyun's words, so she nodded immediately, and walked quickly with them inside, never mentioning the matter of enjoying the scenery again.
Within a moment, I saw a garden covering a wide area, with lush flowers and rockeries, and it seemed that there was no end in sight. Su Xiyun was a little surprised when she saw it, she had long heard that the garden of King Xian's Mansion occupied dozens of land, and it was one of the best in the capital, but she didn't expect it to be the case.
Before the person walked in, he heard a noisy voice inside, sometimes accompanied by the sound of silk bamboo and musical instruments, Su Xiyun was surprised, and the mother-in-law explained: "Our county lord ordered someone to build a stage in this garden, and also set up a courtyard for resting, Mrs. Qin, Miss Su, please." As he spoke, he made a gesture of please. Looking at her like that, she didn't seem to intend to go in with them. Zhenyu bean technique.
Du Ruoyun smiled slightly, didn't look at Su Xiyun and the others, and went straight inside. Ever since the woman said that she 'the day of happiness is still ahead', she has consciously or unintentionally alienated Sister Su Xiyun, as if she remembered those things in the past.
Su Xiyun couldn't ask for it, she deliberately slowed down, Su Qianyun didn't know why, but she also slowed down with her, and after a while, they diverged from Du Ruoyun.
By the time the Su Xiyun sisters arrived at the stage slowly, Princess Xian had already warmly beckoned Du Ruoyun to sit down. The happy smile on her face hadn't faded yet. In the towering sideburns on her head, she suddenly carried the golden step that Su Xiyun gave her that day.
But the moment she saw Su Xiyun, the smile on Princess Xian's face suddenly stiffened.
"Xiyun, Qianyun, you're here." Princess Xian stepped forward and said with a smile. On the row of seats behind her, all the daughters were looking curiously with their necks stretched.
Su Xiyun didn't dare to hold it up, she hurriedly and respectfully saluted Princess Xian with Su Qianyun: "I've seen Princess Xian." ”
The smile on Princess Xian's face stiffened, but soon, she stepped forward with a smile and personally helped Sister Su Xiyun up: "Don't be polite, do we still need to be so polite in our relationship?" ”
Su Xiyun said lightly: "Etiquette is not a cost. ”
The smile on Princess Xian's face almost broke the mark, but she tried to maintain it, pretending not to hear it, she took Su Xiyun's hand and walked to the seat, and said with a smile: "You two sisters are the latest every time, you see, the play is halfway through." "This is quite a bit of a strange taste..!
Su Xiyun didn't look at the stage, she looked down at the hand that Princess Xian was holding her, and she was a little distracted for a moment.
After Princess Xian finished speaking, she didn't hear an answer, she immediately turned her head, and when she saw Su Xiyun's gaze, she let go a little embarrassed: "Come, sit down first." As she spoke, she looked sideways and saw that the seats in front of her were already full, and only the seats in the back were vacant, so she immediately frowned and said, "Come on, add a table here." ”
The four wives immediately came over next to him, and moved the tables near the middle outward, preparing to add another table to the vacant seat in the middle, so that the Su Xiyun sisters could be seated. On the table that was moved, some melons, fruits, snacks and tea were accidentally spilled, and all the daughters sitting behind them stood up, all of them looking unhappy. Some even glared at Su Xiyun fiercely.
Princess Xian stood there smiling and watching this scene without speaking.
Su Xiyun saw that two mothers-in-law had already moved tables and chairs, so she swallowed back the words she was about to speak. It's already like this, and she speaks again, isn't that hypocrisy? Those daughters may not be able to receive her good. So she simply didn't speak.
At this time, Du Ruoyun, who had already sat down, suddenly smiled and said, "Second Miss Su, Miss Su, there are still a few vacant seats on my side, do you want to come and sit?" ”
Su Xiyun just wanted to refuse, but Princess Xian, who had been standing aside, suddenly spoke: "Young Lady Qin is willing to sit with Xiyun and them, that's good." The table doesn't have to be moved. There was a smile on her face, and after saying this, she turned to Su Xiyun and said, "Xiyun, I think, you don't want to toss people like this, right?" ”
