Chapter 164: Does she have bigger ambitions?
Yu Shengsheng was full of doubts.
When did Su Zhiyi become involved with the prince?
Given the prince's character, he would not have issued an order to invite someone on his own if there was no interest involved.
What cards does Su Zhiyi have in his hand?
Not only Yu Shengsheng, but also the Su family members were surprised, including Su Yanshu.
He walked back to Su Zhiyi and asked in a low voice: "Zhiyi, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Second brother, come back and talk about it."
Su Yanshu had no choice but to endure it for now, and then asked unwillingly: "Eunuch, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mention me?"
The young eunuch smiled wryly: "Second Master, the Crown Prince really didn't give any instructions. Bye."
He said no more, mounted his horse and rode away.
Su Huaiyuan glanced at Su Zhiyi, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go."
Madam Su stepped forward: "Su Huaiyuan! What should I do?"
Su Huaiyuan motioned Ruan Jing to get in the car first, then turned around and said to her, "I told you, you and Ding Qin are at home."
Madam Su gritted her teeth: "There is still one spot left."
"Not letting you go has nothing to do with the quota," Su Huaiyuan said directly, like a slap in her face.
Her face turned pale, and she turned to look at Yu Shengsheng, saying hatefully, "Don't you even know how to say a few words for me? I can't go, and you're going to dress up and go?"
Why should Yu Shengsheng get what she, as a mother, couldn’t even get?
Yu Shengsheng watched her go crazy quietly without saying a word, with a faint smile on her lips like a thin and tough thread, tightening around her heart.
Where are we now? Your madness is still to come.
Su Huaiyuan frowned and blocked Yu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng, don't pay attention to her, go to the carriage behind."
Yu Shengsheng nodded and took Jin Baobao into the carriage.
Su Zhiyi was pushed by Su Yanshu to the third car.
Even until the car started to move slowly, Yu Shengsheng could still hear Mrs. Su's shrill questioning.
Yu Shengsheng listened to the noise gradually fading away with an expressionless face, without any ripples in her heart - sometimes you have to admit that your parents just don't love you.
There are many people attending the palace banquet today, and the roads are crowded with cars. Even before reaching the gate of the imperial city, the traffic is already jammed.
Su Huaiyuan got out of the car, walked to the front of Yu Shengsheng's car, and tapped the window: "Shengsheng, don't worry, we have the best seats. When we get to the palace gate, we can take the carriage prepared in the palace and go directly to the palace banquet."
This is a privilege for the upper class seats.
Yu Shengsheng was not in a hurry: "Okay."
Jin Baobao lifted the curtain and looked back, and saw Su Huaiyuan went to the last carriage.
"Miss, Su Zhiyi got off the car."
Yu Shengsheng frowned slightly, and Jin Baobao continued, "A young eunuch brought people to pick her up. They will go to the road next to her."
"I know that road. It's a shortcut to the Prince's Mansion."
Jin Baobao roamed around the capital, sneaking through all the small roads and alleys.
The prince sometimes lives in the East Palace, and most of the time he lives outside the palace or in other gardens.
Yu Shengsheng thought to herself, "Baobao, when we get to the palace, don't run around. The palace is different from the outside world. When we get back home, keep an eye on Su Zhiyi for the next two days."
"Okay, miss, I understand."
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the coldness in her eyes. Su Zhiyi looked down on Shen Zhiyuan. Could it be that she had greater ambitions?
Want to curry favor with the prince?
It's not impossible. Yu Shengsheng was furious. Su Zhiyi wanted to climb to a higher position, but it depended on whether she had the ability to do so.
Su Zhiyi was so proud that his heart was about to jump out of his chest with joy.
She knew that what she gave was of great use and could attract the prince's attention. Unfortunately, she originally wanted to use it at the critical moment, so she had to give it in advance this time.
Inside the Prince's Mansion, the Prince was already dressed and was standing in the corridor playing with a parrot.
The parrot has beautiful colors, red claws and a red beak. There is a fine gold chain on its claws, and even the cage is made of pure gold.
Su Zhiyi was pushed in and saw the prince wearing a four-clawed dragon robe at first glance.
The bright yellow clothes she wore, the same as the emperor's, reflected the desire in her eyes, and were the pinnacle of power.
Only a man like this is worthy of her!
As for his other minor flaws, they are not worth mentioning in the face of power.
"Your Highness," she said softly.
The prince was feeding the parrot, and he didn't even look at her when he heard her. After a while, he said calmly, "You're here."
He waved his hand and everyone else stepped back.
"Is the letter from last night true or false?"
"Your Highness, I dare not lie to you," Su Zhiyi answered seriously, "If you dare to lie, you will die a miserable death."
The prince turned to look at her and saw that she had delicate makeup on, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She was holding a small brush for brushing the parrot and slowly walking down the stairs.
"Where is the thing?" The prince lifted Su Zhiyi's chin with a small brush. "Whether it is real or fake, I can tell at a glance."
Su Zhiyi remained motionless: "The things are not with me."
The prince's eyes sharpened and he exerted force with his hands. The tip of the small brush pricked her delicate skin, causing a stinging pain.
"Your Highness, please allow me to report. Although the thing is not with me, I know where it is, and it is not difficult to get it."
Su Zhiyi made up her mind: "I am willing to offer myself to Your Highness. This heart has never changed."
The prince smiled faintly, and the little brush released her chin and tapped her nose lightly: "Come with me to the palace later. I didn't go to the East Palace because I was waiting for you."
Su Zhiyi was delighted and her face flushed: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yu Shengsheng followed Su Huaiyuan and got on the palace carriage. The wheels rolled straight to the vicinity of the palace.
Her eyes swept over Su Yanshu, who lowered his head with a gloomy face. No one knew what he was thinking. He had been like this ever since Su Zhiyi got off the car and left with the eunuch beside the prince.
Su Huaiyuan also looked at him: "Yanshu, what's wrong with you?"
Su Yanshu shook his head: "Father, I'm fine."
"Cheer up if you're fine. We'll be there soon. Why are you looking so dejected?"
The old lady frowned and said, "Why are you scolding him for no reason? This is not the first time Yanshu has entered the palace. He knows the rules and regulations. There is no need to remind him."
She turned her gaze and looked at Ruan Jing: "Miss Ruan, this is your first time here, so you need to be careful in every aspect to avoid any mistakes."
Ruan Jing smiled and said nothing.
Yu Shengsheng noticed the old lady's glance at her and simply closed her eyes to rest.
Old lady: “…”
The carriage moved forward in a strange and depressing atmosphere, and when it was almost reaching the destination, it suddenly stopped.
I just heard someone outside say, "Is that General Su in the car?"
Su Huaiyuan lifted the curtain: "That's right."
The one who stopped the carriage was a palace maid, and judging by her clothes, she was also a head maid.
Su Huaiyuan had been at the border for a long time and didn't know the palace maids at all: "I am here, I wonder which palace this aunt is from?"
"I am from the Imperial Concubine's palace. I wonder if Princess Ruiyang is in the carriage?"
Su Huaiyuan was slightly surprised and glanced at Yu Shengsheng: "Yes."
"My queen said that the portrait was not finished last time, and she wanted to invite Princess Ruiyang to come over and take another look."
Yu Shengsheng also heard it carefully and wondered: Going to paint a portrait now?
