Su Juan's incident scared a lot of people, but fortunately no one was injured. Now several people picked a horse for her that looked a bit clumsy. Although it was not as pretty as the pony just now, it was gentle in nature and was very close to Su Juan.
She rode the horse slowly, and soon became proficient in it. She started riding in the stable, and then followed Liu Xuan and others into the woods.
Not far away, Duke Ping, who was watching this scene, felt happy but sad.
While investigating the Su family, he discovered that Su Juan's biological mother, Li Ruohua, was actually an orphan without a father or a mother. After investigation, he found some clues that could all be matched to the little princess who was lost that year.
But Li Ruohua is no longer alive. It would be a huge blow to her sister if she knew about it.
What concerned him now was that the Su Juan in front of him was Li Ruhua's daughter. If he guessed correctly, the half jade pendant should be in Su Juan's possession now.
No wonder he felt close to her when he first saw her. Looking closely, she was indeed 60% similar to his sister in appearance. This was the child of his Xie family, his niece's granddaughter.
Now, the person is right in front of him, but Duke Pingguo doesn’t know whether he should really say it. After all, everything has been a mess for more than half a year.
Thinking of this, Duke Ping decided to wait until Su Juan's ridiculous marriage was completely settled first.
That night, everyone gathered around the campfire, roasting meat and drinking wine.
Several people gathered together and talked and laughed, not affected at all by what happened during the day. Xie Xun even told them ghost stories.
Just as Song Qianhang was about to hand the grilled meat to Su Juan, Liu Xuan next to him took the lead and gave Su Juan the meat he had just grilled.
Liu Xuan: "Eat something first."
At this time, Su Juan had already drunk several cups, her cheeks were slightly red, she bit the meat with big mouthfuls, smiling, without saying anything because she had said it all.
"Liu Xuan, you are such a nice person."
Liu Xuan smiled but said nothing. The dim light of the campfire shone on his already gentle face, making him look even gentler and making people want to get closer to him.
Liu Miaoqing, who was beside him, had known him for many years, so how could she not see that Liu Xuan's care for Su Juan went beyond that for an ordinary girl.
Song Qianhang could only take back the meat he was about to hand over. Looking at this scene, he felt suffocated in his heart. He ate the meat with big mouthfuls, and he didn't know who he was angry with.
Thinking back to the New Year's Eve when Su Juan was grabbing his face, and now she turned around and got together with Liu Xuan, he felt very uncomfortable.
He felt like he was crazy, but he couldn't help but want to be nice to her and get close to her. He even couldn't bear to hear Song Qianfan and the others say anything bad about Su Juan.
The piece of land chosen by the few people was very close to the old emperor's main tent.
The old emperor lifted a corner of the paper and looked at the men and women outside who were eating happily. He didn't know what Su Juan's bottles and jars were used for. The aroma of barbecue was brought to him by the night wind, making him hungry.
The old emperor licked his lips but was at a loss for words. He was the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was only their right to show filial piety to him. How could he condescend to beg for food?
After Su Juan had eaten and drunk her fill, she saw Duke Ping and his companions not far away. She immediately waved to them and distributed all the roasted meat she had shared, even giving two skewers to Lord Ping.
[This is my unique secret recipe, perfect for barbecue! ]
The old emperor let down the curtain. What a delicious barbecue, out of sight, out of mind.
He sat down, but looking at the greasy meat dishes on the table, he felt tasteless in his mouth. How come this Su Juan didn't know how to flatter him?
She keeps chasing after those officials and taking pictures of them all day long. Can they help her get promoted or make money?!
Doesn't it have to be me?
As long as she brought two pieces of meat to honor him, what did she want and he, the emperor, would not satisfy her?
[Ah! This mushroom smells so good when grilled!] Su Juan's eyes lit up.
[Sure enough, it’s so nice to have a barbecue and drink wine in the evening with the mountain breeze blowing! ]
The old emperor snorted coldly and said, "I am sitting here today. I don't believe that among so many people outside, no one would think of me!"
Su Juan was drunk at this time, and her usual "shy" self was no longer there. She stood up and casually invited those colleagues in the court who were not familiar with her to come over to eat meat and drink wine. Everyone who ate praised Su Juan, and the laughter even reached the old emperor's main tent, which made him feel even more disgusted with the food in front of him.
As time passed, the old emperor could hardly hold back his expression. These people were simply too outrageous!
You eat and drink to your heart's content in front of my tent, but you don't think of me at all!
At this moment, Su Juan seemed to sense the old emperor's muttering, [Hahahaha, luckily the old emperor is not here, otherwise it would be so embarrassing! ]
The old emperor heard this and said, “???”
[As an emperor, it is not right for him to squeeze in with us, but it is not good to see him and not invite him to come and eat.]
[Oh, it's okay, who knows what delicious meal they're having in the tent! ]
The old emperor's forehead was twitching and his face turned black. He could no longer sit still, so he stood up and walked outside, pretending to be passing by.
It was really lively outside. All the court officials gathered together, each holding a skewer, urging the people who were grilling the meat, talking and laughing, making a lot of noise.
When they met the old emperor, the courtiers greeted him respectfully, "Your Majesty!"
"What are you eating?" asked the old emperor in a deep voice.
Someone responded, "Your Majesty, the official is grilling meat for us."
Everyone suddenly became nervous.
Why did His Majesty come out? Are you here to steal our food? We haven’t eaten enough yet!
Su Juan gave them a reassuring look, [Don't worry, the old emperor has his own good food and drinks, how could he be interested in our little things? ]
The court officials breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, Your Majesty has plenty of food, so why would he care about these?
[Besides, as long as we don’t ask, how can he, as an emperor, have the nerve to ask us for food! ]
All the nobles: !!! That's what I said, but don't say it out loud!
The next second, the old emperor smiled wryly, "It smells quite nice. It's just the right time to eat. Su Qing, roast some and bring them to my tent so I can try them."
Su Juan: “Ah?”
【What?】
【！ ！ ！】
The hearts of all the ministers are broken, and I will let you
[You are a healthy person, can't you just bake it yourself if you want to eat it! ? ]
The old emperor waved his sleeves and left. Listening to Su Juan's words, he felt very happy. I am the emperor. Do I have to grill the meat myself?
Everyone's faces suddenly fell.
When Su Juan had roasted the meat, the court officials pushed and shoved each other, and finally pushed Su Juan out to deliver the meat.
Minister Mo smiled and said, "Xiao Su, after all, His Majesty personally appointed you. Go quickly and don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
Su Juan's forehead twitched, [These heartless people are eating my flesh, and they change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. ]
Old Emperor: This is so funny. I am the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. What is there to be embarrassed about?
Su Juan: Who among my family members understands? The old emperor has hands and feet, but he still needs others to serve him! I beg for votes. I will work hard to make myself stronger and slap him in the face!
