A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but who knew that the next second, Situ Yao saw a group of people appearing from the palace gate.
This? What's going on? Situ Yao was a little unhappy. He had never thought that so many people would follow them.
He had originally thought that he and Su Mengyan could have some fun together and exchange their feelings. But what was going on now?
However, since people have already come, Situ Yao can't just send them back. Moreover, Situ Yao knows that if it weren't for Su Mengyan's permission, there wouldn't be so many people.
Seeing Situ Yao's face turn dark in a second, everyone felt a little uneasy. Would the emperor send them back?
Everyone looked at Su Mengyan, who seemed to have not noticed the incident at all. She walked towards Situ Yao with a smile and said, "We're ready. We can go now."
Forget it, just think of it as making Su Mengyan happy. Thinking of this, Situ Yao also laughed: "Well, everything is ready."
They hadn't expected so many people to arrive. However, Situ Yao hadn't planned to have Chu Meng ride in the same carriage with them from the beginning, so he had prepared two carriages. It just so happened that Situ Yao and Su Mengyan were still sitting in the front carriage, while the other four people were sitting in the back carriage.
Although four people were a bit too many, it was a royal carriage after all, so it didn't seem crowded.
In the car in front, the two of them were chatting with each other in a very harmonious manner. Situ Yao would occasionally bring some snacks to Su Mengyan.
In the carriage behind, the four people were not idle either. They were discussing the matter between Situ Yao and Su Mengyan.
The two people in the car in front were completely unaware of all this.
"I didn't expect that the emperor would be so good to the empress and even take her out to play." Yu Xiang said with some envy. When she entered the palace, she heard others say that the emperor had many concubines, so it was impossible for him to be loyal to one person, not even the empress.
This incident made Yu Xiang realize that some things are more true when you see them than when you hear them.
"Isn't it? They used to have a good relationship." Xu Chen'an continued. After all, he knew more than Yu Xiang.
Chu Meng next to her looked at An Lirong and felt a little embarrassed. They were discussing the love between Su Mengyan and Situ Yao in this way, and An Lirong was also Situ Yao's woman. It was not good to hear it.
"They are just talking nonsense. An promised not to take it seriously." Chu Meng said hurriedly, fearing that An Lirong would be jealous.
But who is An Lirong? How could she not see what Chu Meng meant? She smiled at Chu Meng and said, "Don't worry, I won't mind."
Others. When the two heard the conversation between the two, they remembered that An Lirong was also the emperor's concubine. Why did they say such things in front of An Lirong?
Especially Yu Xiang, who had experienced being abused by Lu Xian, was extremely scared. She didn't dare to say a word and just shrank to the side, hoping that An Lirong didn't notice her.
An Lirong saw all of this, shook her head helplessly, and said to everyone, "Don't be afraid. If I say I don't care, I really don't care."
"Won't you be jealous?" Chu Meng couldn't understand. How could you not care and be jealous if you liked someone?
How could she know that An Lirong liked Situ Yao?
In order to let these people find out, An Lirong had to explain: "I am not jealous, because I entered the palace for other purposes."
After she said this, everyone understood that she had other intentions and did not like Situ Yao at all. So, when she heard them talking about the love between Situ Yao and Su Mengyan, she naturally did not feel jealous.
At night, there happened to be a lantern parade, and Situ Yao wanted to take Su Mengyan out to play, so An Lirong and Chu Meng also went out with them.
The street vendors could tell at a glance that all the people in the group were wealthy, so they shouted even louder when they passed by.
"Sugar man, delicious sugar man."
"A hairpin, a beautiful hairpin. Oh, my dear, buy a hairpin for your sweetheart!"
The sounds of hawking were endless. Su Mengyan looked at this and that. Situ Yao looked at her lovingly, and then when he saw her take a closer look at those things, he bought them immediately.
After a while, Su Mengyan had a lot of food in her arms, and Situ Yao, who was following her, also had a lot of food in his arms that Su Mengyan couldn't put down.
Compared to Su Mengyan who ate while shopping, An Lirong and Chu Meng were much better. The two of them had a much better relationship because of what happened in the carriage.
At this time, the sisters were chatting together!
Seeing Situ Yao doting on Su Mengyan so much, the two smiled at each other: "Sister An, you see, the Emperor dotes on the Empress more!"
"Yes, Sister Chu, it's not easy to find a husband of your dreams. However, your family doesn't have to worry." An Lirong also joked.
Chu Meng was thin-skinned and her face turned red after just a few words, which made An Lirong laugh.
Because of the lanterns, the place was crowded even at night. Just when An Lirong and Chu Meng were chatting and laughing, someone suddenly approached An Lirong.
At first, An Lirong didn't care. After all, there were a lot of people there, and maybe others were just careless. However, when she found an extra object in her hand, An Lirong just thought that the person had dropped it accidentally.
Soon, An Lirong and the other person returned to Su Mengyan. At this moment, there were not so many people around, so An Lirong had time to look at the thing in her hand. It turned out to be a jade pendant. She didn't know who the jade pendant belonged to. An Lirong thought, with so many people around, she didn't know if she could find the person and return it to him.
When she took a closer look, she realized that things were not that simple.
This jade pendant clearly belongs to her mother, who often wears it, so it is impossible for An Lirong to make a mistake.
What was going on? How could her mother's jade pendant appear in someone else's hand? An Lirong immediately determined that her mother's jade pendant had been deliberately given to her.
Because, even though there were many people, if her mother appeared, An Lirong would not be able to fail to recognize her mother. But An Lirong did not see her mother at all, which means that her mother did not appear at all.
Since her mother hadn't shown up, the jade pendant must have been given to her by someone else. Thinking of this, An Lirong's face lit up with worry. Who was that person? What was the meaning of giving the jade pendant to her mother?
Seeing that An Lirong's face looked a little strange, Su Mengyan asked, "Sister An, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
What? An Lirong woke up from her thoughts and looked up at Su Mengyan. She didn't hear Su Mengyan's question clearly.
