Su Mengyan felt that she was about to see the anger in Situ Zhao's eyes turn into reality.
Afraid that Situ Zhao would find out that he couldn't defeat the boss and come looking for her, Su Mengyan tried hard to hide her whole body behind Situ Yao, desperately trying to reduce her presence and make herself less conspicuous.
Facts have proved that what you fear will come true.
Just as Su Mengyan was trying to hide behind Situ Yao, Situ Zhao's eyes fell on her and he raised an eyebrow and said, "Why do you look so scared of me, Concubine Su? What? Do you think I can eat you?"
Su Mengyan laughed dryly and said, "I am the Crown Prince's servant, so it's not appropriate for me to get too close to the Second Prince."
These words made Situ Yao feel very comfortable.
"Royal brother, what are you doing watching my people?" Situ Yao swung the wine glass in his hand and said with a half-smile, "If you are short of people, just let me know. I will find you a lot of beauties and send them over."
Send a beauty?
I'm afraid he's sending a spy.
Situ Zhao sneered and was about to speak when he heard Situ Yao say to Su Mengyan, "Selectwoman Su, please remember this for me and prepare some gifts for Miss Cui in a few days. Miss Cui didn't enjoy herself today, so I'll go see her another day."
Su Mengyan nodded repeatedly and said obediently, "I'll remember that."
Situ Zhao paused for a moment. He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Su Mengyan, then at Situ Yao, and suddenly smiled, "It seems that my brother is truly moved this time?"
"..." Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, then frowned and shook his head, saying: "Royal brother, don't talk nonsense."
Situ Yao's behavior is already so obvious. If Situ Zhao still can't see that Situ Yao has special feelings for Cui Mixue, he must be blind.
He didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The flower viewing banquet was originally for the descendants of powerful officials to get to know each other for the purpose of marriage, and the most favored candidates for the marriage were Situ Yao and Situ Zhao.
I wonder how many powerful officials and noble ladies are eyeing the positions of Crown Princess and Prince Consort.
As a result, at today's flower-viewing banquet, first two men were circling around a woman, and then the two brothers were talking, giving ordinary people like them no chance to intervene. The noble ladies in the capital were so angry that their teeth were itching.
The flower viewing banquet is almost over now. The emperor didn't see what he wanted to see, so he left early.
Situ Yao didn't see Cui Mixue staying, so naturally he didn't see the excitement he wanted to see. So he felt a little impatient and yawned lazily, "Forget it, there's nothing to see. Concubine Su, let's go."
"Royal brother, wait a minute." Situ Zhao stood up and said with a smile on his face, "Royal brother, father said today that Yunfu has been recuperating in the mountains for a while, and we don't know how he is doing. So, if you are free recently, it would be best if you could go and see Yunfu."
Now that the matter of the Fourth Prince of Beiliang had been settled, Situ Yao had originally planned to bring Yunfu back. However, Concubine Bai was clearly unwilling to give up, so she specifically instructed Yunfu to stay in the mountains for a while longer.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually remembered me.
Su Mengyan pursed her lips. Yunfu's fate was changed by her, and she didn't know what would happen next.
I don’t know whether this change is good or bad for Yunfu.
Su Mengyan sighed softly in her heart and looked up at Situ Yao, waiting for his response. She knew without even thinking that Situ Yao would definitely take her with him this time, and she wouldn't be able to escape.
Sure enough, Situ Yao nodded slightly, looked at Su Mengyan and said, "Leave soon."
Su Mengyan sighed helplessly and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
"Why, you're really reluctant?" Situ Yao raised his eyebrows, rarely expressing his dissatisfaction with Su Mengyan in front of outsiders. He said to Situ Zhao in front of him, "You'd better be a good boy. If it weren't for your close relationship with Mixue...Miss Cui, do you think you'd be released this time?"
Sure enough, he was released because of Cui Mixue.
But why did Cui Mixue attack her? Su Mengyan was a little dazed, and swallowed all the words she was about to say. She felt that she still couldn't tell Situ Yao about what happened today. If she did, Situ Yao might think that there was something wrong with Cui Mixue, or with her.
She can't afford to go through so much trouble.
"Your Highness, please forgive me." Su Mengyan bowed her head and admitted her fault. She didn't argue with Situ Yao. She said honestly, "It's not that I don't want to go, but I just feel that His Highness has been too busy lately."
Seeing this, Situ Zhao waved his hand and took the initiative to help Su Mengyan excuse herself, saying, "Royal brother, why are you bothering with her? If you don't like her, let me take her away and I will help you deal with it."
When saying this, Situ Zhao didn't seem to be joking. Instead, he looked at Su Mengyan seriously.
Su Mengyan laughed dryly and took a step back.
Don't.
It might still have some chance of survival in Situ Yao's hands, but if it really fell into Situ Zhao's hands, Su Mengyan guessed that she would not have to struggle at all and could just lie dead on the spot.
I thought Situ Yao would refuse righteously, but unexpectedly, Situ Yao actually took a look at Su Mengyan, then shook his head and sighed, "If she was just an ordinary palace maid, I would give her to you. But this is a concubine selection after all. Could it be that the emperor likes what I have left?"
This is a bit too much.
Not to mention Situ Zhao gritting his teeth, even Su Mengyan narrowed her eyes and looked at Situ Yao, cursing him a thousand times in her heart.
A bastard is a bastard, there is no way he can change for the better!
What do you think of her? Just a thing you can give away at will? Have you ever considered her feelings?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Mengyan came back to her senses.
Maybe she was just something that Situ Yao could give away at will, just a concubine, what else could she be? Weren't Meng Lianlian and Concubine Liu both concubines before? There was no difference between them and her.
Situ Yao's actions were still as simple and straightforward as before, without considering anything else.
Situ Zhao and Situ Yao exchanged some pleasantries, but Su Mengyan didn't listen carefully. It had nothing to do with her anyway, and she couldn't make a decision on matters that concerned her. Su Mengyan pouted and muttered impatiently in her heart.
When the two of them went back, Su Mengyan didn't say a word on the way and walked with her head down.
As a result, as he was walking, he bumped into Situ Yao, who said impatiently, "What are you thinking about? Why are you always distracted?"
Has she always?
Su Mengyan felt guilty and touched the tip of her nose, saying, "I was wondering what to bring to Princess Yunfu when I go see her. The mountains are definitely not as good as the palace. The princess must have been wronged there."
The words sound very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with them.
