Chapter 68 Rong Ruo's Destination
As soon as Rong Ruo finished speaking, everyone's expressions became subtle.
Emperor Jing of Wei tried to smooth things over: "My Lord, you may not know that the Crown Prince has been married before."
"So what if they are married?" Rong Ruo didn't care at all. After all, most of the Northern Rong were remarried women or remarried men. "My father was willing to marry his daughter to a distant place for the sake of peace between the two countries. Could it be that the wife of Prince Lili can't sacrifice her marriage for Dayu?"
Emperor Jing of Wei frowned and said nothing. Concubine Shu spoke up, "Master Rongruo, the one that Prince Li married is Master Fengyi."
Rong Ruo looked at Su Chenyu, and only then did she realize that they were wearing similar clothes.
Why did it have to be her?
Rong Ruo did not answer, but just looked at Li Li Yanqing stubbornly.
Concubine Yun smiled and said, "Our Prince Li is so lucky. He might be able to marry another mistress." Then she looked at Emperor Jing of Wei and said, "Your Majesty, since the mistress Rong Ruo admires Prince Li so much, why not fulfill her wish?"
Is this something a concubine can say?
Emperor Jing of Wei suddenly remembered Concubine Yun's background. After all, she was not a lady from a wealthy family, so it was inevitable that she might have some shortcomings in her work and speech.
Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Yun and said, "Your Majesty, I still think this is inappropriate. We have so many outstanding men in Dayu, and we are afraid that we won't be able to find a good match for Master Rong Ruo. How can we let Master Rong Ruo be a concubine?"
Rong Ruo wanted to say it was okay, but Concubine Shu saw what she meant and stopped her from talking: "Even if Rong Ruo is willing, we must not wrong her. If we don't wrong Rong Ruo, we can only wrong Feng Yi. But Your Majesty has always loved Feng Yi, how could you bear to see Feng Yi wronged? In my opinion, the marriage is a matter of great importance, so we still need to discuss it further."
What Concubine Shu said touched the heart of Emperor Jing of Wei. The Zhenguo Xi was guarding the northwest, so how could he allow the Crown Prince of the Zhenguo Xi to have any relationship with the people of Beirong?
"Mr. Rong Ruo, let's discuss the marriage later!" Emperor Jing of Wei didn't want to talk about it anymore.
Rong Ruo naturally didn't want to give up just like that, so Rong Zhang came over and said on her behalf: "Your Majesty, there are many differences in customs between Beirong and Dayu. Rong Ruo didn't understand Dayu's customs before, so she said those things. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. As for Rong Ruo's marriage, I believe Your Majesty can choose the most suitable person for her."
Seeing that the matter of the arranged marriage was passed over by Concubine Shu with just a few words, Concubine Yun was unhappy. How could the Emperor be so supportive of Concubine Shu?
The banquet continued. When the maid was pouring tea for Su Chenyu, she accidentally spilled the tea on her. She immediately knelt down in panic and said, "Master, I will take you to the back hall to clean up."
Su Chenyu followed the palace maid and when they were halfway there, she said directly, "Ask your master to come out."
The maid's face was no longer panicked, and she withdrew directly. Jian Suining walked out from the dark and said, "Your humble servant greets the Lord."
Su Chenyu looked at the direction the palace maid had left. "In such a short time, Prime Minister Jian was able to train an insider in the palace. He is really capable."
Jian Suining has a typical handsome appearance, with a clean and fair face, and a scholarly temperament: "Thank you for your reminder, Master. Otherwise, I would inevitably be controlled by others."
"Prime Minister Jian specially asked someone to invite me out. It shouldn't be to express gratitude, right?"
"The Emperor wants to select a few students from the Imperial College to follow him on a hunting trip in a few days. I am not familiar with the students in the Imperial College, so I came to ask you, is Qiu Hong okay?"
Su Chenyu instantly understood Jian Suining's intention. He didn't want to owe her a favor, so he used this matter as a bargaining chip.
"Lili Qiuhong is still quite smart. If he can seize this opportunity and enter the officialdom, he will be grateful to the Prime Minister for his support."
Jian Suining smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then I will definitely get this done."
After saying this, Jian Suining turned around and was about to leave.
Looking at his back, Su Chenyu suddenly remembered the ending of his previous life.
In the previous life, the injustice of the Jian family was not exposed at all, and Jian Suining lived his whole life under the scolding. He established Yuefangzhai just to collect intelligence and redress the injustice of the Jian family.
Unfortunately, he did not succeed until the end. Instead, his identity was discovered by Shen Wan, who spread the news that he was the owner of Yuefangzhai. Yuefangzhai's business plummeted and soon fell into the hands of the Yao family. Jian Suining was persecuted by the Chen family and ended up miserably.
A loyal minister should not have ended up like this.
Back at the banquet, Su Chenyu had a hard time eating. The affairs of the Jian family were like a stone weighing on her heart.
"Master Fengyi, I toast you with this glass of wine." Rong Ruo walked up to Su Chenyu holding a glass of wine.
Su Chenyu was not good at drinking, let alone Rong Ruo's toast, so she was not prepared to drink: "Master Rong Ruo, this glass of wine should be toasted to my father, not me."
"Just now, because of the golden eagle incident, there was some unpleasantness between you and me. I toast you with this glass of wine. First, I want to show my respect to you. After all, you are the first person who dared to kill the golden eagle. Second, I want to apologize to you. You are the noble master of Fengyi in Dayu, and I should not conflict with you."
On the surface, Rong Ruo's words were praising Su Chenyu, but in reality, she was accusing Su Chenyu of bullying others by taking advantage of her power and even killing her, the national treasure of the Northern Rong clan.
Su Chenyu stood up and looked at Rong Ruo: "First, no matter how precious the golden eagle is, it is still a beast. When a beast threatens human life, it is right to kill it. Second, it is because you disregard human life that I had a conflict with you. No matter how noble my status is, I will not do anything to oppress others.
So, you should have respect and apology, but you used it in the wrong place. You can't recognize your own mistakes, so the intention of this glass of wine is not pure, and this master will not accept it! "
Su Chenyu's eyes were sharp and her words were powerful. When she faced Rong Ruoyu, she was not only representing herself, but also representing Dayu.
Faced with Su Chenyu like this, Rong Ruo's heart trembled, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground, and the wine spilled on her shoes, soaking them. She wanted to say something to refute, but she just opened her mouth in vain and couldn't say anything.
When 䀲 is the master of 䭲, the superiority and inferiority are immediately apparent.
At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that the Fengyi Master, who they had originally looked down upon and was rude, had become dignified and decent, with an imposing manner, and had defended the dignity of Dayu!
