Chapter 410: There is no such thing as a peaceful life

"You are already so beautiful, how much more beautiful can you be? Sometimes changing your style can leave a unique impression on people!" Su Wan comforted her.

She thought Jia Jia looked very beautiful like this, like a pure magnolia flower.

Jiacheng looked down at her outfit. She had no makeup on and no extra decorations. Only a white jade hairpin pinned her hair. She was truly as plain as could be.

As he was speaking, Su Chen had already arrived.

Su Wan found an excuse to slip away and went to see the kitten so as not to disturb their little world.

The prince just sent the person to the door and left.

Su Chen walked step by step to Jiacheng's side. The maids all tactfully withdrew. Jiacheng lay on the recliner, covered with a thin blanket.

This was the first time Su Chen saw her like this. Usually she was as warm as the sun, but today she looked like a peaceful and tranquil girl.

Her skin was as white as cream, her face was flawless like white jade, but her lips were bright red.

He couldn't look directly at her lips, as the sight of them would easily remind him of what happened that day.

"Princess, I'm here to see you. Are you feeling better?" Su Chen's voice was very low, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye.

When Jiacheng saw him like this, he wanted to tease him.

"General Su, I'm much better now. Please sit down and talk."

Standing here with such a tall figure, blocking most of the light, it is really oppressive.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen sat down on the stool where Su Wan had sat before, and Jiacheng casually picked up an apple and handed it to him.

"Do you eat apples?"

She was at a loss for words and actually gave him an apple.

Seeing that she had handed it to him, Su Chen felt embarrassed to refuse, so he reached out to take it. In the process, he accidentally touched her fingertips, which were very cold.

He was startled and subconsciously held her hand, then put the apple back on the table.

"Why are your hands so cold? Did you catch a cold?"

His face was full of concern, and his palms were hot and a little sweaty.

Men generally feel their body temperature is higher than women's. Now that it is the hottest time of the year, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. However, she sat in the pavilion early in the morning, which is cool inside. After a long time, her hands and feet would become cold.

Jiacheng was excited and had a sweet smile on his face.

"Yes, a little. Can you warm me up?"

Jiacheng flirted boldly and was not afraid at all.

It was not until this moment that Su Chen realized his mistake and quickly let go of her hand.

"I'm sorry, my lady. I'm sorry for the offense."

Jiacheng pouted, feeling a little sad seeing him acting so distant. You've already agreed to the marriage, why are you being so distant?

Do we have to treat each other with such respect even after we get married?

As if he noticed that Jiacheng was unhappy, Su Chen hesitated for a long time before reaching out to help her pull the blanket up.

Su Wan was holding the cat in the room and secretly watching the various interactions between the third brother and Jiacheng, which was quite sweet.

Su Chen has to learn to get along with Jiacheng, but they have just started, so it is inevitable that they will feel awkward.

Su Wan chose two kittens, neither of which was even a month old. They were very small and looked very fragile. They were all white in color. They would definitely be very cute when they grew up.

Su Jing stayed in the palace until dinner before going home. He told Su Chen that he had to talk to his parents about this matter himself.

Su's father and mother would definitely agree with what he said. In their eyes, there is no such thing as family status, and they will not consider the interests and political disputes of all kinds.

They only knew that Princess Jiacheng was very likable.

Sure enough, after Su Chen told them, the old couple were very shocked at first, but after they reacted, Su's mother started laughing so hard that she couldn't stop.

She felt that it was really unexpected that the princess would fall in love with her third son. Su Chen was usually a rather introverted person and didn't like to show off. Unexpectedly, with such a personality, he would attract the favor of the most lively Princess Jiacheng.

Princess Jiacheng often comes to the Su Mansion. She is beautiful and sweet-spoken, and Su's mother likes her very much.

When she heard that it was the prince who had initiated the marriage, she immediately became restless and wanted to discuss the wedding date right away so that all the children in the family would have a place to stay.

Now she just wants to hold her grandson in her arms as soon as possible.

It was expected that they would agree, and Su Chen also wanted to inform them specifically out of filial piety.

Since they are the men, they naturally have to be more proactive.

The prince had already made up his mind and would choose a day to ask the emperor for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. He also knew that it was not a good idea to ask for an imperial decree at this critical juncture. After all, it had just been granted to Prince Jiang and Princess Xuanle, and now his Xiangwang Mansion was joining in the fun, also with the Su Mansion. I'm sure his brother the emperor would not be too happy about it.

So he had decided that as long as his brother the emperor granted Jiacheng a marriage, he would go to his fiefdom after attending his daughter's wedding and would never return to Kyoto.

Every year, Jiacheng just needs to bring his son-in-law to the fiefdom to visit them.

He also knew that the current situation in Kyoto was like this. The princes were fighting openly and secretly for the throne, and this place was a place of right and wrong.

Now that my daughter finally has a lover, as a father, I will do everything I can to help her.

Since the emperor is afraid, the worst that can happen to him is that he moves away. After all, his fiefdom is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, suitable for retirement.

Kyoto is really hard to endure in winter, so Jiangnan is more suitable for retirement.

Jiacheng didn't know that her father had already arranged everything for her. She just needed to lie down. There was no such thing as a peaceful life. It was just that someone was carrying the burden for her.

…

Jiang Yu received a letter asking her to come and see him after attending the princes' concubine selection ceremony, as he had something to discuss with her.

Early in the morning, Su Wan washed and dressed and went to the palace.

The ladies were all ready, each using their best tricks and dressing up to the nines, each one more gorgeous than the other.

They all just want to stand out among the noble ladies and win the favor of the princes. What if they can become the prince's consort?

Concubine Chen received Su Wan. She was the only princess who came to watch the ceremony, and she would just follow the ladies to attend the ceremony later.

Standing on the attic and looking down, you can see flowers blooming everywhere and the air is filled with the fragrance of cosmetics.

However, Su Wan still spotted Gu Yue in the crowd at a glance, because she was wearing a moon-white horse-faced skirt, which made her look particularly fresh and refined among the colorful flowers.

Gu Yue seemed to be able to sense where she was, and she located Su Wan as soon as she looked up.

Gu Yue didn't expect that she and Prince Jiang could be together so smoothly. It was a pity that Duke Jiang's 100,000 troops could not be put to the greatest use.

She was also surprised. Why was Su Wan here on this occasion today?

But thinking back, it wouldn't be bad to let her witness with her own eyes that she took the position of the fifth prince's consort. She was finally going to surpass her.
