Chapter 26: The courtiers want their mother's dowry back
Su Ruotang got up and perfunctory casually, "The courtiers can also play chess, and the rest can't." β
The queen looked at her pampered and unfazed appearance, but she only felt that her heart was blocked, and she choked extremely uncomfortable.
There are rules for palace banquets, and once they are clumsy, they are regarded as bullying.
No matter what kind of talent is tried, it is up to the winner to decide.
Miss Gu is a beautiful girl, and she was not worried at all.
But now, halfway to kill Su Ruotang, Cheng Biting Jin.
Taking a deep breath, the queen asked, "Which other young lady is willing to compete with Miss Su Er?" β
Many noble ladies looked away one after another, looking at Mo Yingyan, Mo Xiaoya and Su Ruotang with strange expressions.
There has long been gossip that today's queen's reward is a jade mandarin duck, which is given to her future daughter-in-law.
And Su Ruotang was the fiancΓ©e of the fifth prince before, and now he is the fiancΓ©e of the third prince......
Could it be that what she likes is still the Five Princes, and she wants to use today's palace banquet to renew her relationship with the Five Princes?
Gu Shuya got up and walked slowly to the middle of the field: "The courtiers are willing to give it a try." β
The queen's expression softened a little: "Miss Gu's chess skills should be the first among the younger generation, and this palace also wants to see who is better between you and Miss Su Er." β
Gu Shuya ignored the threat hidden in her words, looked into Su Ruotang's eyes, with a bit of inquiry and eagerness, "Second Miss Su, please advise." β
Su Ruotang hooked the corners of his lips: "Miss Gu, please." β
Mo Yingyan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, lowering her eyes and playing with the teacup.
Fu Beixian came to his side, picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Who do you say will win?" β
Mo Yingyan's gaze paused on Su Ruotang, and finally landed on the chessboard, and he kindly suggested, "Eat more walnuts." β
It is impossible to see through such an obvious situation.
Fu Beixian was dazed: "Huh? β
Mo Yingyan picked up the tea and took a sip lightly, not bothering to pay attention to this guy with a little head and tendons.
In the field, Gu Shuya's expression gradually became solemn.
Su Ruotang's chess move is something she has never seen before.
seems to be out of order, but when I actually played against her, I realized that every move she made was a thought twice.
When she meets an opponent in chess, she no longer keeps her hand.
Everyone didn't dare to breathe, and they all stared at the chessboard.
After a while, Gu Shuya raised her eyes and looked at Su Ruotang, her eyes were shining, "Shuya is willing to bow down, and I will ask Miss Su for more advice in the future." β
Su Ruotang put down the white child in his hand and smiled lightly, "Miss Gu's chess skills also surprised me. β
The queen stared at the few black pieces left on the board, and her face turned ugly.
Emperor Wu Shun glanced at Su Ruotang approvingly, and looked at Tan Xiuyuan, "Tan Aiqing, your two granddaughters have taught them very well, and I want you to help educate these bastards." β
Tan Xiuyuan got up and clenched his fists, his expression was proud, and his mouth was modest, "Your Majesty has won the award, and several princes are proficient in everything, but the ministers are not qualified to teach them." β
Everyone in the audience listened to Emperor Wu Shun's words, and their expressions were a little subtle.
Su Ruotang is Su Qi's daughter, but Emperor Wu Shun praised Tan Xiuyuan for teaching well.
This is simply a slap in the face of Su Qi.
It seems that Su Ruotang was mistreated in Su Mansion before, and it was not a lie.
The queen took a few deep breaths, glared at the concubine who had just proposed to let Su Ruotang show her talents, barely managed her expression, and forced a smile, "Miss Su Er, what reward do you want?" β
Su Ruotang bowed, and the number of etiquette couldn't find anything wrong, "Niangniang, the courtiers only want their mother's dowry." β
When her words fell, Su Muyao's face suddenly became ugly.
Her mother's slut's dowry has been used by her mother to settle relations all these years.
Today, only Xinglin Pharmacy and Linqinju remain.
She asked for a dowry at this time, and her mind was really vicious!
The queen frowned and asked puzzledly, "Your mother's dowry?" β
Su Ruotang bit her lip and nodded slightly, her eyes became slightly red, "My mother's dowry is now in my mother's hands, but the courtiers remember that Dongqi has a law, and unless the woman's consent is obtained, the husband's family is not allowed to tamper with the woman's dowry." β
"If a woman dies, the dowry belongs to her children, and the stepfamily may not occupy it."
"My mother went early, and the dowry she left behind was taken by my mother, saying that she would keep it for me, and now the courtier is about to marry the third prince......"
At this, she lowered her head in a choked voice, covering her lips and coughing incessantly.
Between the fair and smooth forehead, cold sweat gradually broke out.
The queen glanced at Su Muyao, who was ugly, and her voice couldn't hear joy or anger, "Second Miss Su, is this your condition?" β
She almost wanted to vomit blood.
knew that Tanfu had not severed relations with Su Ruotang, and she would not agree to Mo Xiaoya's bastard boy's divorce no matter what.
As a result, now, the rich daughter-in-law is gone, not to mention, she has to help Liu Wanyue's slut's son and daughter-in-law ask for a dowry, which makes her angry.
Liu Wanyue is the sister of General Liu Qing.
Liu Qing held the dragon seal in his hand, and the military power of Dongqi accounted for four points.
If Tanfu is allowed to stand on Mo Yingyan's side again, it will be like a tiger with wings.
Su Ruotang forcibly suppressed the cough in his throat and nodded with teary eyes.
The tails of her eyes, with a cough, glowed with beautiful rouge.
The eyes are wet, which makes people feel distressed when they look at it.
Liu Wanyue couldn't help but get up, walked up to Su Ruotang, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears in her eyes, and said distressedly: "Tang'er, don't cry, there is a concubine, no one dares to touch your mother's dowry." β
Su Ruotang looked at the sincere concern in her eyes and was slightly stunned.
But Liu Wanyue mistook her for being too sad, and hugged her into her arms in distress and looked at Emperor Wu Shun.
Emperor Wu Shun immediately looked at Su Qi and said coldly: "Su Aiqing, the stepfamily has no right to keep the dowry of the mother-in-law. β
Su Qi knelt on the ground with an ugly face: "The minister knows the mistake, it is the minister's mistake in governing the family, so that Detang'er has been wronged, and after the minister returns home, he must discipline the Zhang family well." β
"I don't want my daughter-in-law to be wronged again."
"Your Ministers obey."
Su Ruotang buried her head in Liu Wanyue's neck, and the faint fragrance of pear blossoms lingered on the tip of her nose.
Liu Wanyue patted her on the back and whispered to reassure, "In the future, there will be a mother concubine, no one will want to bully you, today your grandmother is unwell and did not come, and tomorrow, the mother concubine asked people to go to Tanfu to get the dowry list of the year, you just have to check the list." β
Her voice, although not loud, was heard by everyone because the imperial garden was too quiet.
Su Ruotang hummed in a low voice, and his misty eyes were cold.
She didn't want the queen and others to know about the dowry of the original owner's mother.
But Su Muyao slandered her again and again, and she didn't want to endure it anymore.
She wanted to see what the Zhang family and Su Muyao planned to do.
