"Guess?" Su Yujin tilted her head and blinked playfully.
You have to guess.
He Yanxiu looked at Su Yujin's eyes, which were shining brightly. The corners of his mouth raised high and he smiled, "I need to give it some thought."
"I'm afraid you may not be able to figure it out even if you think about it carefully." Su Yujin smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll just tell you directly."
"That may not be the case." He Yanxiu said with a smile, "If I think about it carefully, I can probably guess it."
"Well... you are very happy now. I can't guess what it is. It must be something that makes you very happy, but it is also incredible."
"In my opinion, the only thing that can combine these two things is that Lord Anmin and his wife confessed to you that they are your biological parents."
Su Yujin was shocked when she heard this, "How did you know?"
After all, this kind of thing is too unexpected. Even if it is told truthfully, it would be hard to believe, and ordinary people would not speculate in this direction.
How could He Yanxiu know such a thing?
"My brother told you, right?" Su Yujin chuckled.
Apart from this, she couldn't think of any other reason.
"Not really." He Yanxiu smiled, "Lord Su has been promoted to a new position, and the Ministry of Rites is busy at the end of the year. Lord Su is very busy, and the two of us don't have time to meet."
"Then you..." Su Yujin became more and more surprised.
"In fact, I have long guessed that Lord Anmin and his wife are probably your biological parents." He Yanxiu explained with a smile, "Lord Su came to me once after he went to Qinghe to confirm your identity and claimed that he was your cousin."
"Lord Su came to me for no other reason than to use his status as my cousin to ask me to treat you sincerely and not be careless or bully you, otherwise he would definitely make me pay."
"How can I explain this? Although cousins can have a deep bond, like brothers and sisters, that only exists when they grew up together, visit each other frequently, and have a deep bond between the two families. Although Lord Su said that your two families seem to have a special bond, Lord Su's expression and gaze at the time were enough to prove that it was not what he said."
"I had a bold guess at the time, but I had no evidence until Marquis Anmin and his wife went to the capital. I saw that although Marquis Anmin's wife looked different from you, her features were similar to yours."
"According to what Lord Anmin and Lord Su said, your two families are relatives. If that's the case, even if you look similar to them, you should look like Lord Anmin and Lord Su, not Lord Anmin's wife."
"And every time I saw the doting look in Lady Anmin's eyes when she looked at you, I felt that you were very different from ordinary cousins..."
"Based on all of the above, I think the relationship between you and Lord Anmin and his wife and Lord Su is very special. I have such a bold guess, and I think it should be a fact."
Seeing He Yanxiu speak so confidently, Su Yujin curled her lips and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Since Lord Anmin and his wife and Lord Su do not show their true faces, I guess they probably have their own difficulties, or maybe the timing is not right. Besides, it is better for them to speak in person about such matters."
He Yanxiu smiled and said, "If you had heard these things from other people before they told the truth, you would have been sad instead of happy."
indeed.
If you heard about this kind of thing from someone else, it would be a different picture.
Su Yujin nodded and smiled at He Yanxiu, "Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me for anything?" He Yanxiu reached out and pinched Su Yujin's nose.
"Thank you for helping me find my biological parents in the past, and thank you for keeping your mouth shut now." Su Yujin said.
"This is what we should do." He Yanxiu tilted his head, "But now that you have recognized your relatives, Lord Anmin and his wife are my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Going there today is also considered a formal visit, so you need to be more polite."
"I just happened to get a jar of excellent Zhuangyuanhong a few days ago. I happened to have it with me. I might as well take it with me and drink with my father-in-law and uncle."
Su Yujin blinked.
Even the wine was prepared, which showed that he had anticipated all of this.
He Yanxiu is indeed He Yanxiu.
Su Yujin couldn't help but raise her chin.
The dinner at the Su family's residence became more lively because of He Yanxiu's arrival.
The three of them drank together, Su Yujin and Lu chatted and laughed on the side, and they were having a great time.
After He Chengye and Lu learned about the relationship between the Anmin Marquis and his wife and Su Yujin, they were surprised at first, and then they held the invitation ceremony before the New Year as He Yanxiu suggested.
Asking for a date means that both parties have to set a date for the wedding. After consultation with both parties and after checking the lunar calendar, the date was set as February 22nd.
Everything is fine.
Halfway through the twelfth lunar month, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger.
Every household began to prepare various items and food needed for the New Year, and many people began to hurriedly embark on the journey back home. Even within the imperial palace, people began to decorate the palace and receive festival gifts.
The eunuchs and palace maids carried things back and forth, with happy faces and whispering to each other.
"With such a big event happening this year, I thought the gifts would be simple and I was planning to celebrate the New Year in a tight manner. I never thought that the gifts would be even more generous than last year."
"Yes, big rivers flow and small rivers rejoice. The festival gifts from the palaces are generous, so we, the servants, can live a better life."
"You guys, don't act like you've never seen the world. There will be more gifts in the future!"
"What do you mean?"
"In the past, the gifts for the various palaces and gardens were determined not only by the status of the concubines, but more importantly, by whether the Empress had given her approval. In the past, when the Empress determined the gifts, she would give gifts that looked large in quantity but were actually of poor quality, just to look good. However, she didn't spend much money, and she would even deduct a lot from the concubines who were not favored or had low status. The money saved was not saved for the Emperor, but for the former Crown Prince."
"Now, Her Majesty Shu Guifei is fair in her work and does not seek profit from it. Instead, she takes extra care of the concubines who are not well-off or have been ill for a long time. In this way, our lives will naturally become better and better."
"Yes, Her Majesty Shu Guifei is virtuous and fair, and she manages the affairs of the six palaces in an orderly manner. I heard that she punished several stewards who accepted bribes some time ago, and the atmosphere in the palace has improved a lot."
"Hey, what do you think? Now that the Empress's seat is vacant, the Third Prince is the Crown Prince, and Imperial Concubine Shu is favored by the Emperor, will Imperial Concubine Shu be named the new Empress?"
