The two chatted for a while before Chi Feng came over again, saying that Prince Zhan had invited them over to talk. Gu Beiheng didn't want Su Qi to go over and listen to what he was saying, so he asked her to wait for him in the palace for dinner.
He went to Ningshou Palace alone.
Su Qi called Ying Yi and asked him to send someone to the Su Mansion to invite Old Madam Su and Su Ting into the palace.
"Mom, let's go out of the palace and have some fun?" Dabao just happened to come in and heard Su Qi talking.
He really wanted to wander around the capital.
Erbao rushed over and hugged Su Qi's legs tightly, "Mom, I want to go out and play too."
"Okay then." Su Qi asked Ying to get a carriage.
"Madam, aren't you going to tell me?" Ying Yi was a little scared.
"Say it?" Su Qi glanced over.
"No need to say." Yingyi took the order and went out to harness the carriage.
Su Qi ordered Bai Zhi and Xiang He to hold Yue Bao and Xi Bao.
She thought about it and left a message for Gu Beiheng, saying that she was returning to the Su Mansion.
The guards at the palace gate didn't dare to stop the car. They just took a look at Su Qi's token and let it go.
Su Qi arrived at the gate of the Su Mansion.
Su Jingmo had just returned from outside with a few colleagues and was surprised to see Ying Yi driving a carriage at the door. "Guard Ying, does the General have any instructions?"
"Grandfather." Erbao poked his head out of the carriage.
Dabao also came out with a smile. "Mom brought us to play at grandpa's house."
Su Jingmo was startled. Several colleagues accompanying him also hurriedly knelt down to salute.
Su Qi raised her hand lightly and said:
"No need for formalities. The day of her coronation hasn't arrived yet."
Several officials thought to themselves, "Even before the empress is crowned, we already know who will be the queen." After years of marriage, General Wang still doesn't even have a concubine. This woman is incredibly resourceful; she's probably a Hedong Lion.
"Father, please mind your own business. I'm going to talk to Mother and Ting'er and Yan'er."
"yes."
Su Qi didn't care about the expressions of Su Jingmo and the others, and took the child into the mansion first.
One of the Zhous stroked his beard and said, "Old Master. I heard that you married into the Yue family?"
"Yes, the boy from the Yue family is a good person. We kids have a good relationship. Although Qiqi is a legitimate daughter, in her eyes, illegitimate sisters and concubines are all the same." Su Jingmo knew that the aristocratic families in the capital city would distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate daughters when looking for wives.
"Qiqi was the first to approve Ting'er's husband."
Su Qi entered the main courtyard.
Su Ting and Su Yan were both talking to Yun Manyu in the main courtyard.
The dowry Yun Manyu gave was quite generous.
Su Ting felt bad, "Mother, my second sister didn't have such a big dowry when she got married. How come I have so much? We still have to decide the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children."
"Your second sister originally had so much dowry. But at that time...ah." Yun Manyu sighed.
"That won't do either. It's not reasonable to exceed that."
"The Yue family is rich enough to rival a country." Yun Manyu was afraid that Su Ting would be bullied if she married into the family.
"What are you afraid of? My second sister is the queen, and my second brother-in-law is the emperor. The world belongs to them, and they are my backers." Su Ting was unwilling to break that rule.
"Young Master Jiu said that he has set his sights on me. He will give me half of his property so that I can take it back as a dowry."
"Is this still possible?"
“No one knows that.”
Su Qi walked to the door and laughed out loud, "Mom, Ting'er is right. We are her backers. Otherwise, even if the dowry is much larger, the Yue family will not let Ting'er in easily."
"Hmph. Just looking at the elders of the Yue family, I don't like them either."
When Su Ting saw Su Qi coming, she wanted to go shopping with Su Qi.
"Second sister, let's go shopping together." Su Ting signaled to Su Yan with her eyes.
"I agree. Once Second Sister is crowned Queen, we might not have the chance to go shopping."
Su Qi naturally agreed and left all four of her children at the Su family. She ignored Yuebao and Xibao staring at her eagerly, and pretended not to see the helpless looks of Dabao and Erbao.
"You guys can just play at your grandparents' house."
"Mom, what about you?"
Su Qi smiled and said, "I'm going to embrace the prosperous life."
The two sisters Su Qi went out.
Dabao sat on the stool and shook his head, "Grandma, believe it or not, my life will be miserable in the future." Dabao could foresee that he would soon be dragged by Gu Beiheng to learn how to handle state affairs.
Wait until he grows taller.
His parents went on to live their own lives. As for his younger brothers and sisters, they should be the responsibility of his eldest son.
The three little guys all stared at Dabao, and Dabao had no choice but to say, "I'll take you out to play."
"Brother, eat." Xibao can't forget to eat.
Yun Manyu ordered the nanny to bring some exquisite snacks and handed a piece of red date steamed cake to Xibao. "Little foodie, eat quickly."
Xibao took the manuscript with a smile and ate it quickly.
Yuebao staggered outside. This little girl not only has a strong sense of perception, but is also obsessed with flowers and plants.
Standing in front of the flowerpot, Yue Bao was still drooling as she spoke to the orchid. "Are you sick?" Her chubby hands touched the orchid's leaves.
The three sisters Su Qi put on some makeup and went out to the street.
After visiting several jewelry stores, Su Qi bought several sets of head ornaments. She bought a set of large, oriental pearls. They said it was the only set the store had, so she paid a large price for it.
He also bought a set of emerald head ornaments for Su Ting.
Su Yan was young and she took a fancy to a ruby-wrapped headpiece.
After buying the noodles, Su Qi said that she hadn't eaten Gugutang for a long time. The three of them went to the hot pot restaurant opened by the Yue family in Dongqi.
Just arrived at the door.
I saw Yue Jiushao and a woman in red walking out together.
The woman looked at Yue Jiushao with stars in her eyes. She was very close to Yue Jiushao and spoke with a smile on her face.
Yue Jiushao was still wearing red, and the mole at the corner of his eye seemed to be alive.
"Young Master Jiu." Su Qi noticed that something was wrong with Su Ting's expression.
Yue Jiushao looked up and saw Su Qi and the other two. He left the woman in red and walked over. "Mrs. Gu." Then he stood beside Su Ting and said softly, "Ting'er, I really wanted to get you guys over to try some fresh crabs. I just got some."
Su Ting's face looked unhappy, but she just nodded.
"The three of us sisters are having a meal and chatting privately. Please find us a quiet private room."
"Brother Yan, who are they?" The woman in red smiled with her eyes curved and reached out to pull Yue Jiushao's sleeve.
Just as Yue Jiushao was about to speak, Su Ting spoke up: "A supplier I've met a few times."
Su Qi's eyes fell on the hand of the woman in red, and she looked away calmly and went upstairs.
"Why is this girl so fierce?" The woman in red stuck out her tongue.
Yue Jiushao was startled, "Lian'er, go to the private room first."
He quickly followed Su Yan. "Sister Yan'er, what happened to your third sister?"
Su Yan stopped and looked at Yue Jiushao with a half-smile. "Jiu Shao, don't talk like that. You have so many sisters, don't call them by the wrong names."
"People like us should still be more particular. There should be clear etiquette between men and women. How can you call someone "sister" in public?" Su Yan's sarcastic words made Yue Jiushao confused.
"Don't get so close to me. Who pulled my sleeve?" Su Yan glanced at him coldly and left gracefully.
Yue Jiushao now knew what was going on.
Su Ting is jealous.
He didn't have a sister from the same mother, but Miss Xiulian's mother was a close friend of his mother.
The two have been good friends since childhood.
Yue Jiushao walked to the door, thinking about how to explain it clearly.
"Brother Yan, everyone is waiting for you. Let's go quickly." Xiulian ran over again and dragged him by the arm and left. "Auntie ordered me to bring you back."
Su Ting happened to walk to the door and heard these words.
Her face was as cold as a winter plum blossom. "Second sister, I want to cancel the engagement."
Su Qi didn't say anything, but just observed the clue for a while. "Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought it through. He's not worth it." Su Ting breathed a sigh of relief. "I know that girls who break off an engagement will be ridiculed. At worst, I can just go back to Mingfeng Town."
