Princess Changping stomped her feet in anger, glared at Su Jinyue unwillingly, and walked away!

The people around started talking about this incident.

"This Miss Su is really courageous. She even dares to contradict Princess Changping."

"Yes, but it's not easy for her to have a relationship with Princess Xihe."

"Look, she just spoke up for Princess Xihe. It seems like she's on Princess Xihe's side?"

"After Su Jinyue was taken back to the Marquis' Mansion, she appeared before His Majesty one after another. Princess Xihe is also very much loved by the Emperor. It makes sense that the two of them get along well."

All these words fell into Su Chengjiang's ears, and he also felt that what they said was absolutely right, "I think what they said is also true, Princess Changping doesn't like you anyway, why not get in touch with this Princess Xihe."

"You just know how to build relationships."

Su Jinyue glanced at Su Chengjiang calmly and said, "You'd better not talk nonsense, otherwise you won't know how you died."

Su Chengjiang wanted to lower his voice and argue for a few words, but was interrupted.

Princess Xihe said to Su Jinyue, "I seem to have caused Miss Su to get into quite a bit of trouble."

"It's okay." Su Jinyue didn't care. "This Princess Changping has always been domineering and has never had a good relationship with me. Princess Xihe doesn't have to mind."

At this time, a childish voice attracted the attention of everyone present: "Sister Su! I finally found you!"

I saw a small figure running over, it was the emperor's favorite Princess Yuzhu!

Yuzhu could not speak before, but she was already favored by the emperor. Now that Su Jinyue has cured her, the emperor favors her even more.

Yuzhu threw herself into Su Jinyue's arms, and in her childish voice, there was a hint of pity, "Sister Su, why did you come to see me only today?"

Rubbing Yuzhu's furry head, Su Jinyue's voice softened, "There was something going on in the mansion these days, so I was unable to visit Princess Yuzhu. It's my fault."

"No!"

Yuzhu grabbed Su Jinyue's hand and looked up at her, her round eyes shining. "I don't blame Sister Su, I just miss you."

"Princess Yuzhu, why are you here?" Princess Xihe was obviously surprised by her appearance.

Yuzhu turned to look at Princess Xihe and said with a smile, "I heard that Sister Su was here too, so I came to see her."

Su Jinyue was a little surprised. Although Yuzhu could speak, she still wouldn't talk to people she wasn't familiar with.

Now it seems that Yuzhu and Princess Xihe know each other.

Su Jinyue originally wanted to ask Yuzhu and Princess Xihe why they were so familiar with each other.

Unexpectedly, Princess Xihe asked first: "Princess Yuzhu seems to be very familiar with Miss Su."

Su Jinyue replied calmly: "I met Princess Yuzhu when I first entered the palace, so I am very familiar with her."

"Yuzhu told me that people around her said that it was you who cured Yuzhu of her muteness."

Princess Xihe looked at Su Jinyue with a deep gaze, "Miss Su is really amazing."

Sensing Princess Xihe's impure gaze, Su Jinyue just smiled and said, "Princess Xihe, you are too kind."

At this moment, the palace banquet officially began, and the eunuch's shrill voice sounded: "Please take your seats, my dear guests! Play the music!"

Accompanied by the sound of zither and harp, Su Jinyue took Su Chengjiang and the little princess to the seats.

From the corner of her eye she saw Princess Xihe being led to the seat of honor by attendants, and she thought to herself that today's palace banquet was going to be lively, and she had to be careful in her response.

During the banquet, the melodious music and the graceful dancing of the dancers attracted everyone's admiration.

The emperor and empress had not arrived yet, but he had already ordered the banquet to begin.

Amidst the beautiful music and dancing, Su Jinyue observed her surroundings calmly.

At today's palace banquet, everyone was toasting each other, and there was nothing unusual to see.

"Don't just focus on eating."

Su Jinyue glanced at Su Chengjiang who had already started eating.

After being told by Su Jinyue, Su Chengjiang quickly put down the food in his hand and wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "I'm just hungry..."

"Your primary purpose for entering the palace is to protect His Majesty today." Su Jinyue said.

Su Chengjiang was stunned. Su Jinyue had not mentioned this matter before coming to the palace banquet.

He quickly lowered his voice and said, "During the palace banquet, the guards from the Nine Palaces protected His Majesty. Why do you want my protection?"

Su Jinyue was not afraid to tell Su Chengjiang about the events in Western Xinjiang. "There has been unrest in Western Xinjiang recently. I also mentioned this in my previous letter to my mother."

"Today is a palace banquet after all, we should be careful, not to mention..."

Su Jinyue paused and spoke to Su Chengjiang in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"If nothing happens today, it's fine. If something happens, and you have saved the emperor, His Majesty will definitely remember this matter and forgive my father's punishment."

"My elder brother is useless now. If my second brother can inherit the title of young marquis, that would be the right thing to do."

Su Chengjiang never thought that he could inherit the title!

In the past, Su Jingnian was above him and was better than him in both ability and intelligence.

When it comes to inheriting the title, Su Chengjiang never thought about himself.

His heart began to beat wildly, but he said insincerely, "It is my brother's business to inherit the title. It is not my turn. Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not saying anything nonsense. You can tell from your mother's attitude that she is already hurt by your brother."

Su Jinyue picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Brother is still stubborn now. If the news about him and Su Zhiyao gets out one day, as a young marquis, he will be a disgrace to our mansion."

"Not only did my mother not want to, my grandmother and father would not let it happen either."

"Father only has you as his legitimate son. If you don't become the young marquis, who will be the young marquis?"

Su Chengjiang's heart was warmed by Su Jinyue's words.

But thinking of Su Zhiyao, he couldn't help but speak, "Zhiyao, she has been spoiled since she was a child, I'm afraid she is not willing to do this..."

Su Jinyue turned to look at Su Chengjiang without saying anything.

Feeling uneasy at Su Jinyue's look, Su Chengjiang immediately explained, "I'm not trying to speak for her, but she is indeed our sister."

"I have never targeted her. I don't want to care about what you and your brother did to me before."

"The reason why I didn't punish her was because she was the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. I didn't want to bother about her past, so I sent her to the manor. She can come back after the storm has passed."

Su Jinyue said: "The one who should stay away from Su Zhiyao the most right now is you. If you want to inherit the title, you can't have too much to do with her."

"I……"

Su Jinyue interrupted what Su Chengjiang wanted to say, "I'm not forcing you to cut ties with Su Zhiyao. Whatever you want to do is up to you. I've told you the pros and cons, and I don't owe you anything."
