Chapter 35: The Victory and Defeat of Beauty
The seventh princess asked Su Rouhui, but her eyes shifted from Su Zhaoning to Su Zhenyi.
Of course, it is best to listen to the person concerned in person.
Su Rouhui didn't want to contribute to either of Su Zhaoning and Su Zhenyi, so she didn't answer as the seventh princess wished.
Su Zhenyi looked at the four princes on the side, and just wanted the other party to say a word for herself.
Su Zhaoning's gaze didn't fall on anyone, she bent down and picked up the sachet that had been trampled on by Su Rouhui.
Because she was the only one walking around at this time, everyone's eyes subconsciously gathered.
The seventh princess's eyes fell on the sachet in Su Zhaoning's hand, and she couldn't help but understand the intention of the other party's move.
She looked at Su Zhenyi and said, "Since this matter is not clear, why don't you let Su Er and Su San embroider a pattern on the spot?" This princess will designate the look. ”
Su Zhenyi's face suddenly turned as pale as death. She replied: "How can the things that have been discussed in front of the queen mother be unclear. The long-term wishful piece is indeed embroidered by the second sister. ”
Listening to Su Zhenyi's words of conceding defeat, Su Rouhui still had a hint of schadenfreude even though she was in a predicament. She looked at Su Zhenyi, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
On the contrary, Su Zhaoning did not change his expression because of Su Zhenyi's active explanation. After she put away the sachet ashes, she saluted to the Seventh Princess and Nan Huaixin: "Please forgive the princess and the Hou Ye, the little dirty between our sisters actually involved the princess and the Hou Ye to come in, and please have a lot of them, forgive us this time." ”
Su Jinyu was slightly stunned when she heard Su Zhaoning admit her mistake directly. But immediately he reacted, and he also pleaded guilty to the Seventh Princess, the Four Princes, and the Marquis of Dingyuan.
Su Rouhui, who was already kneeling on the ground, realized it later. She glared at Su Zhenyi next to her hatefully, and then looked at Su Zhaoning with resentment, and then followed to ask for guilt.
It actually let this dead mother take the lead!
Su Zhenyi walked a few steps like a weak willow in the wind, and saluted the four princes with tears in her eyes: "I have failed Your Highness's love." ”
At this time, of course, the seventh princess understood where the jade pendant on Su Zhenyi's waist came from. It was also because she only paid attention to her sweetheart Nan Huaixin for a while, so she didn't immediately remember that her fourth brother was the one with the word "cloud" in his name, and the one most related to the cloud-shaped jade pendant.
For Su Zhenyi's shameless clinging behavior, the seventh princess looked down on her. She didn't even bother to look over there. It's just that the other two girls of the Su family can't get out of today's affairs.
The seventh princess asked Su Zhaoning: "You said that the dirt between your sisters involved me and the Marquis of Dingyuan, so did you know that they were going to calculate you from the beginning?" ”
Su Zhaoning calmly answered what the Seventh Princess wanted to ask next: "Although I don't know when and how the two younger sisters will embarrass me, I do guess that they may take advantage of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. ”
Su Zhaoning saluted the four princes again: "The little woman thinks that governing the family is like controlling water, and blocking is better than sparse. Rather than waiting for the contradictions between the sisters to deepen, the bigger their minds, and make any big mistakes that affect the whole family and the whole family, it is better to let them develop once, suffer once, and fail once. ”
"After seeing the jade pendant on the waist of the third sister, the little woman dared to gamble, if it only involves His Royal Highness the Prince, you come in, for the sake of the third sister's affection, you may be able to forgive the Su family's rudeness this time." Su Zhaoning saluted again, "I didn't know that this matter still exceeded expectations, and the Seventh Princess and the Marquis of Dingyuan were involved, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
Among the several people present, the seventh princess has the most brutal and domineering personality, the fourth prince has the most uncertain personality, and Dingyuan Hou Nan Huaixin is the best at watching the fire from the other side.
After listening to Su Zhaoning's straightforward and deep analysis, the anger of the seventh princess was slightly extinguished. For her and the four princes, what they hate more than stupid people is people who think they are smart.
Growing up in a place of intrigue like the harem, if you treat these princesses and princes as fools, they are real fools.
If Su Zhaoning said that she didn't know at all, then I am afraid that none of them believed it.
She was so frank that the four princes, who were originally gloomy, were also relieved a little.
It's just that the calculated anger of the princes and nobles will always come out.
The fourth prince walked a few steps towards Su Zhenyi.
Su Zhenyi's whole face lit up. She looked at the four princes walking towards her, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. But the next sentence of the fourth prince made Su Zhenyi's heart almost stop.
"Third Miss Su, since the jade pendant has already played a role, let's give it back to this prince." The fourth prince did not look away from Su Zhenyi.
In this way, only things that are beautiful on the outside, it is still okay to take a look. It's just like a pot of beautiful but smelly flowers, which can be seen from a distance, but the interest in bringing them home and playing them up close is gone.
Su Zhenyi listened to the words of the fourth prince, only to feel a buzz in her head, and the whole person was flustered.
Before coming to Lanzhuxuan, she was still looking forward to seeing the four princes. also imagined how to remind the four princes of the insults they had received in the palace with a delicate and pitiful expression.
That time in the palace, Su Zhenyi always believed that the four princes were also forced to do so. It was impossible for him to take the initiative to give Su Zhaoning the credit.
Although the fourth prince did not say it explicitly, when she injured her foot in the courtyard that time, Su Zhenyi felt that the fourth prince should have known who the real embroiderer of Jiujiu Ruyi was.
He acquiesced in her to rob Su Zhaoning of the credit!
She also wants to improve her status in the Chang'an Marquis Mansion to fight for the position of the concubine of the Four Princes' Mansion! She is not willing to be a side concubine!
But why? Why is it suddenly like this?
Su Zhenyi's tears immediately welled up, and she let the tears slide down her face, and her whole face became a little pale.
"Your Highness, Zhenyi knows that she is wrong." Su Zhenyi paused word by word, and said very pitifully.
The fourth prince looked at her for a long time, and finally raised his hand and personally wiped away the tears on her face.
Su Zhenyi was overjoyed, but her face was still full of pity. She said angrily: "Your Highness, Zhenyi was exiled when she was a child, and she had no confidence in her heart, so she did such a thing in a daze. Your Highness, Zhenyi will never dare again. ”
The fourth prince gently wiped away the tears on Su Zhenyi's face little by little. He listened quietly as she spoke, explaining. She spoke slowly, and he never showed the slightest impatience, and he never interrupted her.
Even, when Su Zhenyi was choked up, the fourth prince gently patted her on the back.
After a while, feeling the strength of her back, Su Zhenyi could feel the jealousy from the fourth girl, Su Rouhui.
In this jealous gaze, I don't know if there is Su Zhaoning. Even if she didn't, Su Zhenyi believed that Su Zhaoning was disappointed.
She had known for a long time that nothing would be more important than beauty. The Four Princes promised to admit her into the Four Princes' Mansion. It's just that she is not willing to be a side concubine!
When Su Zhenyi's sobs were quieter, the fourth prince spoke.
His voice was slightly louder than before, but his tone was so gentle that it was dripping.
The fourth prince said: "Well, this prince knows everything. If you don't cry, this jade pendant, this prince will leave it to you to think about. ”
Su Zhenyi raised her head with tears in her eyes.
The fourth prince continued: "After all, you can't have any other thoughts. The Four Princes' Mansion is impossible to enter a stupid woman like you. ”
Poof!
The Seventh Princess laughed.
Su Rouhui's jealous gaze was halfway there, and some of them didn't accept it, and they didn't stare at it.
Su Zhenyi's tears rolled down again.
The fourth prince did not raise his hand to wipe her tears again. He said softly to her without showing mercy: "Originally, this prince promised you, and he will accept you into the palace in the future." But if you don't stay for three days, I'm afraid you're going to become a beautiful land. So, you should grow up in the Chang'an Hou Mansion. ”
Su Zhenyi's tears were still flowing, but the expression on her face was a little stiff. She didn't expect that the fourth prince would say such things to herself in front of everyone.
His voice was still gentle, but in his eyes, there was no affection or nostalgia.
She was turned away like that?
Before she had time to fight for a more important position than the concubine through her grandmother and her eldest brother?
The unconcealed laughter of the Seventh Princess was heartily recalled throughout the courtyard.
Su Rouhui also had a smile on her face.
Su Jinyu's gaze moved from the third and fourth sisters to the second sister Su Zhaoning.
I saw that Su Zhaoning's face was as usual, as if he was not sad when he was slandered before, and now he did not have the joy of a big lama.
The seventh princess was wrong, the second sister Su Zhaoning was the person who was most similar to herself. Su Jinyu thought.
Dingyuan Hou Nan Huaixin's unhappiness due to the seven princesses has also dissipated a lot. He looked at the woman in front of him, who was as elegant as a willow.
Second Miss Su, he has always felt that she has something that the beautiful Third Miss Su and the dignified Miss Su do not have.
Now that I think about it, it's probably something he often thinks about and often goals.
A willow that can bend and stretch, bend and bend!
Nan Huaixin looked at Su Zhaoning, who had a delicate face, a clean and tough temperament, and clear eyes, and had the joy of not being noticed in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that this second girl Su was always a person with bad luck like himself, he probably wouldn't have noticed that she was so different!
I often see Miss Su Er, and sure enough, good things will happen.
This point, after the seventh princess was immersed in the happiness of the fourth prince hurting Su Zhenyi, so much so that she forgot to entangle Nan Huaixin, and returned to the palace directly, Nan Huaixin, the Marquis of Dingyuan, was even more convinced.
And the second girl Su who was not present without Dingyuan Hou Ye Nan Huaixin was actually not as unlucky as he said.
At least, the person who was punished by Mrs. Hou for copying scriptures and grounded for three months was not her Su Zhaoning.
After Su Rouhui received the punishment, the first thing she did was to think about going to her mother and borrowing Xiao Huang's bad luck to find Su Zhaoning.
It's a pity that the people sent by the Xiao Huang clan also returned in vain.
The second girl followed the eldest young master out. The eldest young master said that the second lady and the second girl had not asked for leave for a while, and he often asked the second girl for help if he had something. ”
Therefore, that night, the four girls who copied the scriptures accidentally broke three inkstones. In the end, it is said that the second lady personally studied the ink, and the fourth girl copied the amount of scriptures that day.
