When the hunting list came out, from the second branch of Baili Mansion, only Baili Qiuhong received the news about the entourage. Even Baili Ting was unable to get in this time.
This made the old lady very anxious. She knew that hunting was always an opportunity to make friends. If the Baili Second Branch only had Baili Qiuhong, it would be extremely disadvantageous. She did not care about the unpleasantness with Su Chenyu before, and sent Nanny Fang to invite her over.
When Su Chenyu came to Fushou Hall again, she saw the old lady lying on the couch as soon as she entered. Nanny Fang explained, "Princess, the old lady's health has not recovered from last time."
“The old lady is not in good health, why did you call me here in such a hurry?” Su Chenyu asked and sat down on a chair beside her.
The old lady waved her hand, and a maid brought up a tray with a brocade cloak on it.
"This cloak was made for me by the old Duke Zhenguo when he was still alive. He was gifted with pure silk brocade by the late emperor. But the bright color doesn't suit me, so I kept it. I thought it would be a good choice for the princess to wear during the hunting trip, so I asked Nanny Fang to take it out."
Su Chenyu reached out her hand and stroked the cloak. It was indeed fine silk brocade with a shiny and delicate surface and a rich feel. "This is such a valuable item, the old lady should keep it for herself."
"Princess, it would be a waste if you leave this cloak with me, but I think it suits you very well." The old lady advised, "Princess, please accept it."
Su Chenyu did not respond: "Did the old lady specially give me a cloak today?"
The old lady coughed uncomfortably. If it wasn't for the second house, why would she be so upset? "That's the first reason. The second reason is that we only have Qiu Hong with us for this hunt. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. There's no one to take care of her. Why not bring a few more people with us?"
Su Chenyu smiled and said, "Old Madam, you don't know that the male companions for this trip were all personally selected by my father. If we add someone at the last minute, I'm afraid it will alarm my father again."
Hearing this, the old lady quickly said, "Forget it, let's not cause trouble for the emperor."
"I really have no way to deal with male relatives, but it is still convenient to bring a few female relatives with me."
There is always light at the end of the tunnel. The old lady's eyes lit up: "In that case, you can take Qi'er with you."
Just after she finished speaking, the old lady thought of Song Qingxuan again. She glanced at Su Chenyu's expression and asked tentatively, "Qingxuan has never been out of the house since she came to the capital. Can we take her with us on this hunting trip to relax?"
Su Chenyu looked at the old lady with deep eyes. The old lady couldn't see the emotions in her eyes, so she turned her head slightly and avoided her sight.
"Madam, are you sure you want Baili Qi and Song Qingxuan to participate in this hunting trip?" Su Chenyu asked slowly after a long moment.
"If I can, I'll be the best."
"Okay, then let them follow. However, there are many accidents in the hunting ground. The old lady still needs to tell the two girls not to cause any trouble. This princess will not be able to take care of it at this time."
After hearing Su Chenyu's words, the old lady no longer cared about these things and immediately said, "Don't worry, they have taken over the hunting grounds and will not give you any more trouble."
Su Chenyu stood up and glanced at Aunt Xu, who then took the cloak.
"This princess will accept this cloak. The old lady still needs to stay in the mansion to take care of her health."
"Thank you for your concern, Princess."
Seeing Su Chenyu disappear, the smile on the old lady's face immediately disappeared.
"Madam, Miss Qi asked you for this silk brocade so many times before, but you were reluctant to give it to her. Why do you want to give it to the princess today?" asked Madam Fang.
The old lady's face was livid. "How can she obey me if she doesn't bleed a little? As long as Qi and Qingxuan can go hunting this time, it's just a cloak. What's there to worry about?"
The old lady's eyes immediately fell on the door, ignoring Nanny Fang standing beside her, and a dark look flashed across her eyes...
