Chapter 113 A Fan
She pursed her lips and stammered, "The emperor summoned you today, isn't it to promote you to the capital?"
Xu couldn't help but start to worry, "Why, does the emperor want you to stay in Linshan County?"
Su Lijun shook his head and spoke in a low voice.
"The emperor transferred me to the capital, but I am only a minor official of the sixth rank."
"It's still the Ministry of Rites, a place without any real power. I have nowhere to display my abilities!"
Su Lijun thought about what had just happened, and his voice couldn't help but be a little confused.
"But the emperor was obviously very impressed with me at the time, but somehow he suddenly changed his mind!"
“I really can’t figure it out!”
Xu's eyes turned and she asked, "Who else was there at that time?"
Su Lijun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then quickly said, "There were not many people in the palace at that time, only me, the emperor, and oh yes, the emperor's fifth princess."
When Xu heard the name, her brows wrinkled instantly.
The fifth princess?!
Why is it the fifth princess again? !
Su Lanxin immediately cried out, "Mother! It must be the fifth princess! It must be her!"
"I knew she was a bad girl the first time I met her! She must have deliberately ruined my brother's career!"
"If it wasn't for her, how could the emperor suddenly change his mind?!"
Xu's face became increasingly gloomy.
She only has two children, so naturally she has to make plans for their future.
Since this Fifth Princess dared to ruin her good deeds, don't blame her for being rude!
Seeing that Xu didn't say anything, Su Lanxin immediately started humming again.
"Mother! Mother! Please think of a solution!"
Xu reached out and touched Su Lanxin's hair, her voice gentle.
"When you go to the Shangshufang tomorrow, you must take the initiative to make friends with the Fifth Princess and try to please her."
Su Lanxin's eyes suddenly widened and her voice unconsciously increased.
"What? Let me please her?!"
"I don't even have time to dislike her, but you actually want me to please her, mother?"
Xu glanced at Su Lanxin.
"You kid, you really don't understand anything."
"Now, both the Fourth Prince and Xiao Ziyuan are closer to the Fifth Princess. If you get close to her, won't you have a chance to get close to the Fourth Prince?"
"The Fourth Prince has not yet been engaged. The Emperor will surely be willing to allow our two families to become closer."
"As long as we can capture the Fourth Prince, our position of power will be more secure."
After listening to Xu's explanation, Su Lanxin's mood instantly calmed down.
She nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, mother, I will do it!"
Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"The most urgent task now is to capture the Fourth Prince as soon as possible and make a marriage contract with him."
"The Fifth Princess will be useless after this. We can just find a way to disfigure her when the time comes."
Su Lanxin nodded vigorously.
Mother really has a solution!
At the same time, Yan Kongshan also returned to his residence.
As usual, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Lin Feng came up to him with a smile on his face.
"Master, you're back!"
Yan Kongshan nodded.
Lin Feng didn't care about his cold attitude, but continued to speak excitedly.
"Master, I have been practicing sword techniques these days, but I don't know if I am doing it right. Master, please help me take a look."
That day, Yan Kongshan returned from the palace in a daze, and never taught him sword moves again.
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
If it weren't for learning martial arts, he would not be willing to follow Yan Kongshan and live such a hard life with simple meals!
When he finishes his studies, he will definitely go out to burn, kill, rob, and seize all the treasures in this world, and enjoy himself!
This Yan Kongshan, who has superb martial arts skills, never asks for any reward for helping others. He is so stupid.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Feng blinked.
He asked innocently, "Master, what's wrong?"
Yan Kongshan glanced at him.
That day he heard Sui Sui's inner voice, saying that Lin Feng wanted to betray his master and destroy his ancestors.
So many days have passed, and he still hasn't found where Lin Feng is broken...
Yan Kongshan felt conflicted.
So should he continue to teach Lin Feng martial arts?
Yan Kongshan thought about it, but in the end he couldn't help but lean towards Shangguan Sui.
He left Lin Shan and went into the house alone.
Lin Feng stayed where he was, his face suddenly turning gloomy.
Very good, Yan Kongshan, I gave you a chance.
It's you who don't cherish...
Don't blame me then...
The next day.
Shangguan Sui yawned and walked into the study room.
There was still mist in her eyes, obviously she was not awake yet.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her.
Shangguan Sui raised his eyes and found that it was Su Lanxin.
Su Lanxin saw her and smiled gently.
She bowed with a smile and said, "Greetings to the Fifth Princess."
Shangguan Sui looked at her suspiciously.
[You were so cold to me yesterday, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic today? ]
"I came in a hurry yesterday and forgot to bring a gift for the Fifth Princess. I hope you won't mind."
As she spoke, Su Lanxin took out a very exquisite box and handed it to Shangguan Sui with both hands.
At this moment, Shangguan Hong strode in.
Seeing them talking, I quickly moved closer.
Shangguan Hong wore a brocade blue robe today and a white jade headband, looking extremely handsome.
At this moment, his rebellious eyes were full of confusion.
"What are you doing? What's this box?"
Su Lanxin was delighted to see him taking the initiative to ask questions.
He immediately said, "This is a gift I gave to the fifth princess."
Shangguan Hong became more interested after hearing this.
"Is this for your fifth sister? Open it and let me see it."
Su Lanxin's smile became a little softer when she heard that. She ignored Shangguan Sui and directly opened the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box was a fan.
Shangguan Hong couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw that it was just a fan.
"It's just a fan..."
How can such an ordinary fan be given to the fifth sister?
Su Lan was not anxious, she smiled at Shangguan Hong and said, "Your Highness, you can pick it up and have a look. This is not an ordinary fan."
These words aroused Shangguan Hong's curiosity.
He took out the fan, which was embroidered with a landscape painting, but when he turned it over, there was a cat on the other side.
Shangguan Hong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This is actually double-sided embroidery. The governor of Suzhou presented a few pieces as tribute before, but my father gave them all to the Empress Dowager. I didn't see a single one."
When Su Lanxin saw Shangguan Hong's expression, she immediately raised her chin with pride.
This fan was given to her father by the Empress Dowager.
It is extremely precious, even the handle of the fan is made of warm jade.
If it weren't for the Fourth Prince, she would not have been willing to give it to Shangguan Sui.
But this fan is really worth it.
This was the first time she spoke so much to the Fourth Prince!
Shangguan Hong couldn't help but look at Su Lanxin a few more times.
Unexpectedly, Su Lanxin cares so much about her fifth sister.
He actually gave her such a nice fan.
He will be nice to whoever is nice to his fifth sister.
Shangguan Sui was so annoyed watching from the side that he couldn't help but complain.
[I give up. I am just a tool...]
[No, I'm not even a tool man, I'm just a tool box, just standing there and not moving.]
Shangguan Hong was stunned when he heard this.
? !
What does Fifth Sister mean by this?
