Although Aunt Su still had doubts in her heart, she did not try to stop her when she saw her daughter was so confident.
Aunt Su helped Rong Er change her clothes quickly and put on her makeup.
While Rong Er was putting on makeup, on the other side, in the front yard of the Rong Mansion, both the host and the guests were having a great time, creating a joyful atmosphere.
Rong Chuyue sat in the main hall, chatting with the emperor and empress.
Although Xia Zhengqi and the Queen met Rong Chuyue for the first time, they liked her very much.
Rong Chuyue inherited the Rong family's good looks and has a very outstanding appearance. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a beauty of the country.
Her excellent appearance, coupled with her dignified and elegant temperament, makes her stand out from the crowd.
Comparing her with Rong Er, Xia Miaoyuan's words really ring true: there's a world of difference between them. Rong Er is more like a beauty with only a beautiful appearance.
"What book is Chu Yue reading now?" the queen asked softly.
"Your Majesty, I've been reading Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art recently." Rong Chuyue said lightly.
"Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art?" The emperor and empress said almost in unison.
Rong Chuyue's father, Rong Sheng, explained with a smile, "Chuyue has always had a strong thirst for knowledge. She loves reading and learning, and her interests are extremely broad."
"She studied with the Rong brothers since she was little, but she was never satisfied with what she was taught in school. She would often look for other books to read after school."
As Xia Miaoyuan listened to Rong Sheng's introduction, she couldn't help but recall the plot in the book.
"Sister Rong is truly a rare talent, intelligent, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. If she weren't a woman, she would have definitely passed the imperial examinations and achieved great things."
[With her talent, she is a perfect candidate to become the queen.]
[It's just a pity that in the book, because of the scheming woman's deliberate mischief, a misunderstanding was caused with the Crown Prince, and the two of them were unable to get married.]
[In the end, both of them ended up in a miserable state.]
[I hope they can get married in this life and not miss each other again. ]
The emperor and empress listened silently to their daughter's thoughts and were both moved.
"Great! Women should also read more!" Xia Zhengqi praised.
"As expected of the granddaughter of the Minister of the Imperial Household!"
The Rong family members smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are kind enough."
Xia Zhengqi and the queen exchanged glances and both smiled with satisfaction.
They accepted Rong Chuyue as their daughter-in-law.
She is a good girl both inside and out.
It was at this time that Rong Erqiang, despite his injured body, walked to the front yard.
"Chu Yue, I have only heard the prince praise her in the past, but after seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed a good girl." The queen took Chu Yue's hand and said gently.
"Your Majesty." The Queen looked at Xia Zhengqi, "I want to bring Chu Yue into the palace to live with me for a few days."
The Queen's suggestion to bring Chu Yue into the palace was a subtle expression of her interest in her.
Being brought back to the palace by the Queen to live for a while is also a good opportunity for him to learn some palace etiquette.
[Oh my god, Mother has taken a fancy to Sister Rong. Living in the palace means she's attending the Crown Princess training class.]
Xia Miaoyuan was so excited that she wanted to jump high, but because she was at Rong's house, she held back.
At this time, the prince and Rong Chuyue exchanged glances, and both of them raised the corners of their mouths, overjoyed.
"Okay!" Xia Zhengqi responded in a loud voice.
Everyone in the Rong family was smiling happily.
"It is really a blessing for Chu Yue that the Queen teaches her personally, and it is also a blessing for our Rong family!" said Old Master Rong with a smile.
At this time, Rong Er walked to the door of the main hall in the front yard and listened to the Queen's words that she wanted to bring Rong Chuyue into the palace.
What? The Queen actually wants to bring Rong Chuyue into the palace?!
Why is this happening?
Isn’t the emperor here?
Why didn't the emperor mention her?
She was born with stunning beauty, and she looked so weak and helpless that day. The emperor even gave her his imperial cloak out of pity. He shouldn't have been so cruel to her!
Rong Er was so excited that he froze outside the door, his body trembling slightly.
No, no, no! Even if the emperor and the empress came to Rong Mansion together to see Rong Chuyue, the emperor should not forget her.
At this time, Rong Er was so shocked that his mind was confused and he had almost lost his mind.
"Second Miss, what are you doing? There is a distinguished guest inside, please don't disturb him." The gatekeeper spoke to her softly, but Rong Er acted as if he didn't hear it.
She pushed away the servant who was blocking her, suddenly lifted the door curtain, and strode in.
Everyone in the main hall was shocked by her.
"Xinyue! Why are you so rude!" Lord Xiaorong shouted.
"Xinyue greets the Emperor and the Empress!" Rong Er acted as if he didn't hear and bowed to the Emperor and the Empress.
The Rong family's faces darkened and they were extremely embarrassed.
Old Master Rong shouted, "You are such a loser! It's only been a few days since you behaved disrespectfully in the palace? Why don't you get out of here right now?"
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Rong Er and couldn't help but complain, "He got scolded in the palace and beaten again when he got home, and you still have the nerve to come out."
[Rong Xinyue, this princess really underestimated how thick-skinned you are!]
After hearing the scolding from his father and grandfather, Rong Er still stood there, with no intention of leaving.
Xia Zhengqi said calmly, "Second Miss Rong, do you know? You should thank your eldest sister."
"If it weren't for your eldest sister's face, you wouldn't have been able to return to the Rong Mansion safely after what happened in the palace last time."
"People should know etiquette and know when to advance and retreat." Xia Zhengqi emphasized this sentence.
"If you think too much and forget the basics, you're heading for a dead end."
"Well, you have come to pay your respects to me and the Queen today. You may leave now."
"After you go down, stay indoors and reflect on your mistakes for a month."
Hearing Xia Zhengqi's impolite words, the Rong family members lowered their heads slightly, feeling a little frightened.
Rong Er looked at Xia Zhengqi in surprise. When he met his majestic eyes that brooked no disobedience, Rong Er shuddered.
No! How could this happen!
It was obvious that the emperor had shown pity to her that day.
Rong Er's lips trembled as he said, "Your Highness will remember this."
Rong Er didn't know how she walked out of the main hall. She just felt dizzy and her mind was confused.
After Rong Er left, Old Master Rong said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Rong Xinyue has done such a mistake. It's all because of our improper discipline. Please punish her!"
Xia Zhengqi softened his expression and said gently, "Your Excellency Rong, there's no need to be like this. A dragon gives birth to nine sons, and each one is different. Even a family of high rank and noble cannot guarantee that all of their children will be outstanding."
“It’s inevitable that there will be some things that are not satisfactory.”
"I will not take my anger out on the entire Rong family for what happened to Second Miss Rong."
"After all, the Rong family has been a family of integrity for generations."
After hearing Xia Zhengqi's clear statement, the Rong family finally put their minds at ease.
On the other side, Rong Er returned to his yard in a daze and was stunned for a long time.
Aunt Su hugged her daughter lovingly.
After a long while, Rong Er finally came back to her senses. She suddenly grabbed Aunt Su's hand and asked, "Mother, can you go and ask the lady for me?"
"Just tell Madam that I agree with the Xu family's young master's marriage."
