Chapter 181: East Palace Flower Banquet
Su Juan was reading a book in the study, and Qing'er came in and said, "Miss, Gu Sangongzi is here." β
"I don't have time to see him, let him go. Su Tang'an said lightly.
"It's okay, you're busy, I'll just watch you. Gu Tingjun entered as he spoke, waving his hand to let Qing'er retreat first.
Su Tang'an raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Qing'er, send off." β
"There is no reason to rush customers when you first arrive. Gu Tingjun hurriedly said, "Let me ask you, why did I return all the things I gave you, how shameless I was when you did this, and I was ridiculed by my brothers and sisters-in-law." β
"It has nothing to do with me. Su Tang'an said lightly.
"It's none of your business. Gu Tingjun walked behind Su Ju'an, found a book on the shelf, and flipped through it, "You are my fiancΓ©e, my business is your business, your business is my business, we are now one." β
Su Juan sneered and said, "I also had a fiancΓ© before, don't forget what happened to him!"
"How can Qi Junyu's guy be compared to me!" Gu Tingjun said, "Don't you like the things I gave me yesterday? What do you like, you are the stars in the sky, and I will pick them for you!"
"I have nothing to say to you, please stay away from me. β
Gu Tingjun took three steps back and said, "Is it far enough?"
Su Tang'an slammed the book on the table and shouted, "Gu Tingjun, when did you become so dead-faced, and you are not afraid of losing the face of your Huainan Palace." β
"Coaxing a sweetheart is naturally thick-skinned, and when my father coaxed my mother and concubine, I don't know how many humiliating things he did. Gu Tingjun said, "The so-called inch of time and every inch of gold, the two of us are destined to be together, every moment wasted now, we will regret it in the future!"
"Come here. Su Tang'an said in silence.
Gu Tingjun's face was happy, and he hurriedly trotted to Su Cheng'an's side, squatted down in front of him, like a puppy all the time, looked at her with blank eyes, and said, "What's wrong?"
"Now that you've guessed my identity, I'm going to hide nothing from you. Su Juan said, "You guessed right, I am the killer Rakshasa girl of the Rakshasa Hall under Li Changlong, my real name is Lin Qiangyin, my family was wiped out by the queen ten years ago, and no one in my family was spared except me." But at that time, I didn't know that the queen was the one who harmed me, and then I was rescued by Li Changlong, who placed me in the Rakshasa Hall, and I became his most effective killer. β
After a pause, Su Tang'an continued: "Not only that, Li Changlong approached me because he thought of learning the secret of the Lin family from my mouth, and under his hypocrisy, I fell in love with him, and I could do anything for him, but in the end, he was killed by him and Zheng Peilan, and there was no corpse. I don't know if I'll live again, but I must avenge the revenge of my last life!"
She looked into Gu Tingjun's eyes and said, "Do you know what I hate the most? What I hate the most is hypocrisy! What I hate the most is exploitation and deception! What I hate the most is betrayal and abandonment! I experienced it once in my previous life, but I didn't expect to experience it again in this life, so how can you let me believe in you?"
"I'm sorry. Gu Tingjun held Su Juan's hand, "I won't betray you again!"
"The reason why I tell you this is because I have thought carefully that with my current ability, there is really no way to take revenge. Su Juan withdrew his hand, "Unless I cooperate with you." Since I want to cooperate, then I don't need to hide it, I will show you my hole cards, that's because I believe that you are loyal to Da Zhou and His Majesty, so you will definitely deal with Xuanyuan Hou, we have some common goals, we can be comrades-in-arms, but others, there is no slightest possibility. β
"How can you believe that I am not hypocritical to you?" Gu Tingjun asked as he looked into Su Ju'an's eyes.
"Without this need, it doesn't matter to me whether you're fake or genuine. "So I'm going to marry you, just so that we can continue to work together, not to be your wife." β
Gu Tingjun felt a burst of pain in his heart, he smiled bitterly, and said: "I know that you must have suffered a lot before and have no sense of security, so you have not responded to my feelings now, but I know that you are not completely devoid of feelings, it is me who messed everything up." No matter what your purpose is for marrying me, as long as you can become my wife, I will spend the rest of my life letting you see my heart. β
He paused, and then asked, "Are you still in love with Li Changlong now?"
Su Tangan frowned.
Gu Tingjun smiled: "It's that I'm thinking too much, with your temper, a person who betrayed you, a person who has a deep blood feud with you, how can you still have feelings!"
He stood up and said, "If there is a greenhouse in the suburbs, it has been opened, and I will send you some tomorrow to fill your yard with some spring color." Since you don't want to see me, I'll leave today, and I'll come to see you another day. β
In the blink of an eye, it was February 15, the Flower Dynasty Festival.
Zheng Peizhi and the East Palace set up a flower-viewing banquet, and the famous ladies in the capital were invited to attend.
Su Tang'an met the eldest grandson Huiqing at the gate of the palace, and after calling out, he greeted him, and said with a smile: "Count it, we haven't seen each other for a few days." When you last came to see me, I was still lying in bed, and I couldn't talk to you properly. β
When the eldest grandson Huiqing saw her future sister-in-law, her face flushed with a touch of pink, and she lowered her eyes and said: "There are a lot of wedding etiquette to learn recently, and the time is very tight, and I am very busy every day, so I have never come to talk to you." β
"In more than a month, you will marry into the Qihou Mansion, and when we are together, we can talk together from time to time. Su Tang'an said with a smile.
The two held hands and walked and laughed, but saw two young women coming in front of them.
Su Tang'an only remembered seeing these two people, but he didn't know their identities, and the eldest grandson Huiqing smiled slightly on the side: "The two of them are the eldest young grandmother and the second young grandmother of Huainan Palace, your future sister-in-law." The person with a petite and fair face is called Bai Rui, who is your future sister-in-law, and the person who is tall and has heroic facial features is Jiang Yi, your future second sister-in-law. β
"It turned out to be them!" Su Cheng sighed with peace of mind, although she will be a concubine in the future, but she and Gu Tingjun are just fake couples, and there may not be a need to have a deep friendship with them, just get by on face.
Jiang Yi had recognized Su Cheng'an a long time ago, and laughed loudly: "Look at who this is, isn't this our third daughter-in-law?"
She was born in Jiangmen, she has a bold and pungent temperament, she is very aggressive, and her joy and anger are written on her face.
"Tachibana has seen the two young ladies. Su Tang Anfu said.
"You're welcome!" Jiang Yi took Su Tang'an's hand, "It won't be long before we will be a family!" I have always admired the people of Ziwei Palace, but I didn't expect to be able to become a family with the Heavenly Maiden of Ziwei Palace, or our third child is blessed!"
As soon as she saw this second young grandmother, Su Cheng'an couldn't help but think of that day in the back garden of Huainan Palace, Su Cheng'an bumped into the second son's affair with the maidservant, this young grandmother looked very strong, presumably the good-tempered second son was submissive by her, and he had a lustful heart in his heart, and he only dared to sneak around.
Bai Rui glanced at Su Ju'an lightly, nodded lightly, and said hello.
I don't know if it's Su Tang'an's illusion, but I always feel that this young grandmother has two points of hostility on her face.
It is no wonder that the second son of Huainan Wangfu has always been timid and does not like to fight, and he withdrew from the battle of the prince early, and now it is the eldest son and the third prince who are competing for the position of the prince.
According to the rules, the eldest son Gu Tingyao is the eldest son and the son of the family, but King Huainan seems to have a preference for the younger son. Originally, the third son, Gu Tingjun, was outside the wind and snow, and there was no official position above the court, and the eldest prince and his wife thought that the position of the son of this world was already nine out of ten, but they didn't expect that Gu Tingjun would suddenly come out and catch them off guard, and now they are united with Ziwei Palace, but they are afraid that the odds of winning will increase by a few points.
"Our third brother seems to be in a daze recently, when he sees something delicious and fun, he wants to move to Qihou Mansion, this kid looks like everyone is doing right on weekdays, but I didn't expect to know that it hurts. Jiang Yi said with a smile.
"But I heard that Miss Su doesn't seem to appreciate it, and has returned all the things sent by the third brother!" Bai Rui said, "Isn't Miss Su very satisfied with this marriage, or do you have any opinions about our Huainan Palace?"
"Grandma thinks too much. Su Tang'an said lightly, "The gift given by the third prince is too expensive, we just have a marriage contract, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate to receive such a valuable gift." This marriage was given by His Majesty, and Tang An naturally did not dare to object. β
"Tangerine regards money as dung, we have known for a long time, such a valuable character is also a blessing for the third brother. Jiang Yi said, "Sister-in-law, don't go too far." β
The four of them entered the backyard of the East Palace together, since it was a flower viewing banquet, the flowers had not yet bloomed, Zheng Peizhi searched for a lot of blooming flowers, although spring had not yet arrived, so that the garden had spring early.
Zheng Peizhi wore a hundred butterfly skirt today, like a hostess going back and forth between many female guests, like a flower butterfly.
Zheng Peilan's body was bulky and inconvenient to participate in such a banquet, but the serious hostess of the East Palace was left out like a guest.
But in the end, the identity is there, no matter how proud Zheng Peizhi is, she always needs to salute Bai Qianruo as soon as she comes.
This Zheng Peizhi has engaged in such a big battle as a side concubine, how can Bai Qianruo, as the crown princess, have no ideas, but the prince spoils her, and she has no way, she didn't want to come to today's banquet, but if she doesn't come, I'm afraid it will make people gossip.
Everyone sat down, and people who knew each other naturally gathered around and chatted.
The leisurely county lord came over and said, "Master, I just saw you and the two young ladies of the Huainan Mansion come over, how do you feel when you see the two sisters-in-law for the first time?"
Su Cheng'an nodded the nose of the county lord leisurely, and said with a smile: "What are you asking, we will get along for a long time in the future, and we will be able to see something in this moment." β
