Chapter 40 Killing the Arrogance

However, it is not so easy to dissolve the marriage contract by divine decree.

The Ruiguo Mansion was indeed angry by Su Junning's move and wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, but Rao was a relative of the emperor, and they did not dare to ask Emperor Jianning to take back the holy decree easily.

But Xu Sini's scandal was known all over Bianjing, and the queen mother in the palace still heard some rumors.

Five days after the incident, Xie Shi, the wife of the Ruiguo Mansion, was summoned into the palace for questioning.

"What is the situation with the three girls, the rumors in the high gate in Bianjing City are boiling, and the face of the Xu family is lost!" The queen's face was gloomy.

In the past few days, the harem concubine has mentioned this matter, which made her face very gloomy.

Xie Shi's face was not good, and he lowered his head and said, "Niangniang is angry, this time, it is because Si Ni's girl is not careful, and she is calculated by others." ”

"You mean, the fourth child of the Su family?" The queen frowned.

Xie Shi nodded hurriedly, "The courtiers later thought about it, it must be the Su family who did something in Si Ni's diet to make her so disgraceful, and now in Bianjing City, there are not only those who sneer at Si Ni, but also a group of people praise the four young ladies of the Su family for their talent and appearance, and their piano skills may be above Si Ni." ”

When Empress Xu heard this, her eyes were a little gloomy.

"Then you mean, the Su clan wants to step on the three girls to make a name for themselves?"

"The mother is wise, and the courtiers also have this guess..."

"Nonsense!"

Before Xie's words fell, he was scolded by Queen Xu, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up.

Seeing Queen Xu's face coldly said, "The fourth lady of the Su family and the third girl have no grievances, even if they want to step on her to become famous, Biqin is just that, how can she be so calculated that she is out of honor in front of others, if it is put in the past, it is just to say that the two families do not agree on politics and have bad relations, but the emperor's holy decree has been issued, and the Su and Xu families have marriage contracts and in-laws, how can they do such a thing, do you still have something to hide from the palace?" ”

Before the Ruiguo Mansion held a poetry meeting, Su Junning also made a little disturbance when she went to the banquet, and the queen still remembers.

Although it was related to Shen Qianwei that time, after all, the incident happened in the Ruiguo Mansion, and the queen also doubted whether there was anything else.

In the high-ranking family, the most important thing is private things.

But where would the Xie family tell the truth about her daughter's previous calculation of Su Juning, only saying that Xu Sini held a banquet at Chengying Lake not long ago, and Su Juning was drunk in the game, so I am afraid that she will feel embarrassed, so she holds a grudge.

Queen Xu saw that Xie was not honest, and she couldn't tell the truth, so she let her go back.

As soon as the others left, he called his henchman and ordered him to investigate the events of the day.

Soon, the news came back.

After hearing this, Queen Xu guessed the inside story and couldn't help but be irritable.

"Eighty percent of the three girls can't calculate people, but they annoy people, and they are calculated again."

"But even if the third lady is offended, the Su family's revenge is too vicious, and the Ruiguo Mansion is disgraced, and the Su family is too blind." The big palace maid Tanxi said on the side.

Empress Xu chuckled lightly and lowered her eyes.

"The chief inspector of the Inspectorate, impeachment, and the management of the stroke of discipline in the middle of the court, directly subordinate to the emperor, Su Yi, as the imperial history of the left capital of the Inspectorate, is the general constitution of the Inspectorate, in charge of the affairs of the court, who dares to provoke easily."

In fact, Emperor Jianning also wanted Su Zhiyi to be a side concubine to the prince, and vaguely mentioned it to Su Yi.

But Su Yi felt sorry for his daughter, so he only pretended not to understand, saying that Su Zhiyi had a strong personality, and often said that he would rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine or something, and said that his wife died early, leaving behind this pair of children, he must not let Yunyun down.

After understanding Su Yi's consciousness, Emperor Jianning changed the number of paths, and instead pointed out Su Zhiyi to Xu Yuanche.

Although she can be a wife this time, it is still not the marriage she wants.

However, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, and they can't be disappointed.

"Then Niangniang just slapped the face of the Ruiguo Mansion with the Su family?" Tanxi pursed her lips unhappily, "A family of sisters, Miss Su Si is like this, I'm afraid that the second miss is not much better, look at the slaves, if they don't consume their arrogance early, in the future, the Su family will marry into the Guogong Mansion, I'm afraid that it will stir up the wind and rain again." ”

This sentence made the queen care.

Indeed, if you want to marry an honest wife, you can't let the daughter of the Su family marry into the Xu family to make trouble, you have to suppress it early.

Thinking of this, the queen raised her eyes and looked out the window.

"The lotus flowers in the palace are blooming well this year."

Tanxi understood, and immediately said, "But it's too lonely for Niangniang to enjoy the flowers alone, so it's better to hold a lotus banquet and invite everyone to have fun." ”

"It's okay, since you talked about it, let's do it, the palace may not be lively for a long time." Empress Xu raised her chin slightly, and her eyes were deep.

The queen wants to hold a lotus banquet, and this matter must be reported to Emperor Jianning first.

However, Emperor Jianning has never cared much about these things in the harem, and it is understandable for the queen to hold a banquet, which is normal, so he nodded and agreed.

just added a sentence and asked the queen to call all the princes together, and also took the opportunity to look at each other's wives and concubines.

The seventh prince is now at an age where he can get married, he is counted as one, and the third prince Xia Zhang, who is now crowned King of Jin.

At the beginning, when the war came from Yanzhou all the way to Bianjing, the female dependents stayed in Yanzhou, and the third princess Li was unfortunately killed in Yanzhou, so the position of the wife of the third prince is now vacant.

The first four princes have already married wives, and it is not good to let the third child be single.

The queen has no opinion, although the king of Jin has military exploits, but he has always been down-to-earth and observant, and his mother and concubine are also very peaceful and self-serving, the seventh prince, a child without a mother, and his biological mother is from a low background, and he is the most unthreatening.

So the next day, the palace began to prepare.

At the same time, the sons and ladies of the major high gates in Bianjing City received invitations from the queen's mother.

The two sisters of the Su family were naturally invited.

However, Shen Qianwei was not there, after all, his father Shen He was only a fourth-grade and not qualified.

The worst person who can be invited by the queen this time is also the children of the Zhengsanpin officials.

In the Tibetan Jade Pavilion, Su Junning pinched the invitation sent from the palace and used it as a fan.

"You say, I just cheated the queen's niece and nephew, this palace banquet, will the queen mother target me?"

Yingmei sat on her feet sewing purse, bowed her head and said nothing, Jichun blinked her eyes, as if asking, Miss, what do you say.

It was still Nan Su who was direct, and nodded at her.

As soon as Su Junning pouted, her willow eyebrows turned into embarrassment, and her coquettish face looked pitiful.

"What should I do, I can still calculate the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, but the queen is not easy to deal with."

"Then the young lady might as well call herself sick?" Jichun Road.

Nan Xu sighed, "This is the queen's invitation, and it's not an ordinary person's invitation, if the young lady lies casually, if the queen mother has the heart to be harsh, send someone to take a look, knowing that the young lady is pretending to be sick, then the young lady will be charged with disrespecting the queen." ”

Wouldn't that be jumping into a fire pit by yourself?

After hearing this, Jichun lowered his head, and Yingmei opened her mouth with a sad face.

"I'm afraid that there is a dangerous road ahead, and if I don't go, the risk is also great, it's really sad."

Hearing this, Su Junning nodded.

threw the post on the small coffee table, and fell straight back, lying on the small couch.

"Yes, it's so sad, why am I so pitiful, Miss."
