After five years as a military slave, she finally crawled back to Shengjing from hell, only to face her entire family's scorn. Her brother said: "You filthy thing, ridden by a thousand men ...
Chapter 131 These two people walked away hand in hand?
Look over here for the sound.
She was a little girl of eight or nine years old, with two buns on her head and a bunch of furry pearl velvet flowers. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Su Rui, like a little rabbit.
Seeing Su Rui looking over, the lady next to the little girl grabbed her and walked quickly inside.
"What's so beautiful about her? She's just a whore. If you shut up, people will think you're the same person as her."
The noble lady's voice was quite loud. She was deliberately trying to distance herself from Su Rui and restore the reputation of her little daughter.
The people who got off the bus in front and behind did not say a word, but walked inside tacitly, as if no one saw Su Rui coming.
Even though Su Rui is now the prince's concubine, and even there are rumors outside that Yun Ji is obsessed with her and dotes on her, in the eyes of the aristocratic families, especially in the circle of these noble ladies, she is not looked down upon.
This was also one of the punishments Changning wanted her to suffer.
Su Rui acted as if she didn't see him and walked into the garden.
The Winter Banquet is a long banquet that lasts from morning to night. There is no need to gather together like for ordinary banquets, so as soon as they enter the garden, people who know each other gather in groups of three or four to enjoy the scenery and socialize.
Almost everyone who came in could quickly find their own circle, except Su Rui, who walked alone all the way, and others didn't even approach her.
But she could smell a fragrance wherever she went.
A fragrance I have never smelled before, but it is very subtle and lasting, like the fragrance after rain, blooming among branches and flowers, and like the incense of ancient wood, with a very deep charm.
When he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but pay attention to Su Rui.
The cloak she was wearing wrapped her tightly, and her hot and scorching figure was invisible, and all attention was on her face.
Her skin is whiter than snow, like solidified fat, and wrapped in white fox fur, it looks even more transparent and delicate as if it could be blown away.
This makes people jealous of the unfairness of God.
It’s not just her facial features that are stunningly beautiful, but her skin is still so good even after spending five years in a remote place like the border.
Just as the women's disdain for Su Rui gradually turned into jealousy, someone walked in from outside the moon-shaped gate.
It was Tang Yuli.
Today she wore a skirt made of gold brocade, a double-breasted shirt made of fish-tooth silk, and a flowing cloud coat. She looked luxurious yet not ostentatious. As she walked, the fabric of the clothes shone, like dazzling sparks in the crowd.
She wore a headband covered with kingfisher feathers, with two relatively plain-looking gold hairpins inserted diagonally on both sides.
But someone recognized it immediately.
This golden hairpin belonged to the late empress dowager. She originally awarded it to the concubine who entered the palace from Prince Long's Mansion. Although the concubine is no longer with us, this golden hairpin is now worn on Tang Yuli's head, which shows how much Prince Long's Mansion values her.
Although many powerful people from various families gathered here today, and the ladies from each family were well dressed, they were completely different from Tang Yuli at this moment.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds.
Tang Yuli is indeed the most distinguished of the noble ladies.
But at this moment, seeing Tang Yuli would remind him of Yun Ji, and when he thought of Yun Ji, his gaze naturally shifted gradually to Su Rui who was also present.
One is the head of the noble ladies, a fairy in the clouds; the other is a witch who has been a military slave and crawled out of the mud. Many people don’t understand what kind of magic potion Su Rui gave Yun Ji to make him give up the fairy for such a witch.
What else does this witch have besides her beauty? She's not even a first-hand product.
When he saw Su Rui, Tang Yuli was startled and walked quickly towards her.
Seeing Tang Yuli walking towards Su Rui, many people opened their eyes wide.
When love rivals meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Is Tang Yuli going to cause trouble for Su Rui?
Yes, Yun Ji, who was engaged to her, returned to secular life and did not marry her, a lady from a prominent family, first, but married Su Rui as a concubine first, and never mentioned the matter of marrying her. Anyone would be angry.
Just when everyone thought Tang Yuli would definitely slap Su Rui, Tang Yuli stopped in front of Su Rui and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Why are you here? Didn't you receive the box I gave you? Or didn't you see the words on it?"
"I got it and I saw it."
Tang Yuli looked at her in confusion, "Then why did you come? Don't you know that Prince Long's Mansion is hosting this event? Everyone who came today..."
There were so many people around that Tang Yuli couldn't continue speaking.
But who doesn’t know it in their heart?
Everyone in Shengjing knew that Changning hated Su Rui. Everyone in Shengjing knew Changning's character, and they knew that Su Rui would not let Zhou Yao go just because she was wrongly accused of something that happened five years ago.
Moreover, Tang Yuli has not become the wife of Prince Yong, and Su Rui occupies the position of concubine. Once she gives birth to a child, given Yun Ji's obsession with her, he is very likely to make her his legal wife despite the opposition of the world.
That would be a slap in the face of Prince Long's Mansion. Not to mention Changning, the entire Prince Long's family would not allow Su Rui to take advantage of them.
If Yun Ji hadn't protected her, Chang Ning would have crushed Su Rui to death long ago.
But even if he couldn't do it openly, Su Rui would be in big trouble secretly.
Today is the day when Prince Long's palace hosts a banquet. Who among the guests would fail to give face to the host? Not to mention that others would not dare to offend Chang Ning, so they would naturally stand on the same front with Chang Ning.
Su Rui had this intention since she first started.
Chang Ning knew very well the purpose of Su Rui's coming. What she wanted was that Su Rui would not only fail to achieve her goal but also be trampled upon and made worthless.
"Can they eat me?" Everyone glanced at the crowd watching the fun and didn't take them seriously at all.
Such an arrogant look disgusted everyone, but they really couldn't do anything to her.
After all, she is the person that Yun Ji holds dear. Now that Yun Ji has gone to Yanzhou, he is bound to take the path of military power, and others dare not offend him at will.
At most, they would be unkind to Su Rui, isolate her, make fun of her, and belittle her, but they really couldn't do anything to her.
"Can……"
Tang Yuli was about to say something when Su Rui interrupted and asked, "Is the princess here?"
Although Su Rui didn't know why she asked, Tang Yuli answered truthfully: "Not yet, my cousin will be late."
"That's perfect." Su Rui took Tang Yuli's hand and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go boating."
Rafting?
Before Tang Yuli could ask Su Rui why she wanted to go, Su Rui had already pulled her to the lake.
As everyone watched, Tang Yuli couldn't let go of her hand, so he had to follow her lead. After a while, the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight.
And no one has reacted yet.
These two people walked away hand in hand?
Not only did they not fight or make a fuss, but they went out to play hand in hand?
They don't look like rivals in love at all, but rather like two good sisters who have grown up together.
Tang Yuli rushed over just now, not because of hatred, but because he was anxious to see Su Rui?
When did the two of them become so close?
In an instant, everyone was in chaos, not sure what Prince Long's Mansion meant, and they all gathered together in private to discuss it.
