Chapter 70



Su Yi was satisfied that after the King of Rui had a fit, he would be quiet for two days, but facts proved that she was wrong again.

He still insisted on throwing the quilt off the bed. Although he had to sit quietly for a long time every morning to calm down, he did not give up this practice.

After a few times, Su Yi showed mercy and finally stopped teasing him. Anyway, she didn't feel uncomfortable sleeping in his arms.

However, even without her active teasing, someone still felt uncomfortable every time the two of them woke up from hugging each other.

At some point, the King of Rui began to stare at Su Yi in a daze, or unconsciously approached her when he didn't realize it.

Now when he came to see her, he didn't seldom fight, and the most common thing he did was to sit aside and watch her.

He himself did not seem to think there was anything wrong with doing so. Instead, the maids in the mansion blushed whenever they saw the way he looked at Su Yi.

As someone with experience in love, Su Yi knew that this guy was confused, but would soon open the door to a new world. Perhaps he only needed a little hint or excitement.

She had no intention of helping him. Instead, she maliciously thought that he was like a big wolf scratching its ears and cheeks at a delicious shell, but it still knew how to eat it. It was quite cute.

If someone knew her evaluation, and looked at the tall figure and terrifying aura of King Rui, they would definitely shudder, and then say in their heart: She is worthy of being a princess, with strange hobbies, I admire her.

Life in the palace was more leisurely than before. Prince Rui did not care about anything, and Su Yi had the final say in the palace. She listened to operas, told stories, sang songs, and visited the garden. She did everything she could not do before.

Except for occasional social activities and going to the palace every now and then to pay respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress and listen to their chatter, Su Yi felt that after struggling in this world for so long, she was finally living the life she wanted at the beginning, a life of eating and waiting to die.

It snowed after the beginning of winter, and the grass and trees in the garden and the buildings near and far seemed to be covered with a layer of soft white blanket. Compared with other seasons, it was a different scene.

Su Yi asked someone to light a small charcoal stove in the pavilion. She leaned on the couch, enjoying the scenery outside the pavilion while warming herself around the stove. At her suggestion, Qinglian went to the kitchen to get some sweet potatoes and slowly roasted them on the stove. The sweet aroma added a touch of warmth to the snowy day.

Someone reported that Liu was coming to visit, and Su Yi asked to invite her in directly.

When Liu stepped into the pavilion, she smiled and said, "You know how to enjoy yourself."

"It's rare for my sister-in-law to come to see me." Su Yi asked her to sit down and asked someone to bring a hand warmer.

Liu waved her hands and said no, and the maid happened to serve hot tea, so she held the teacup in her hands, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and joked, "I often want to come, but when I see your palace with tall gates and many rules, I get scared back."

Su Yi pretended to be angry, "You just make fun of me."

Liu still smiled, lowered her head and took a sip of tea. It was different from what she drank in her own house before, and it seemed like the tribute tea she had tasted once.

She couldn't help but take another sip, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw the charcoal basin at her feet. The charcoal inside was as white as frost, burning without smoke, and it was the silver frost charcoal used in the legend.

She raised her eyes to look at Su Yi, who was leaning comfortably against a pile of soft pillows. Her clothes were made of some unknown material, bright and soft. The white fluff around her neck was not a single bit mixed with other colors, as white as the newly fallen snow outside the window, fluffy and lightly embracing her stunning face.

No matter how many times she had seen her, every time she saw her again, Liu couldn't help but admire her appearance.

Previously, at the mansion, Master Su had been talking to her, saying that he didn't know how the King of Rui treated Su Yi, and whether she would be another Shen Er. Liu was a little worried at first, until now, when she saw with her own eyes how she ate, dressed and spent money, and saw the lazy and leisurely aura around her, she was sure that she had not encountered anything unpleasant in the palace.

"How is the mansion recently? Is my brother okay?"

"What can be wrong with him?" Liu complained half-truthfully, "He still plays with his pets all day long, so leisurely."

Although she said so, she was not very angry. Although she had complained about Mr. Su's lack of progress in the past, after learning the real reason why the two children were sent away, Liu broke out in a cold sweat and began to be thankful that Mr. Su never got involved in these things.

Moreover, since Su Yi married King Rui, although the Su Mansion did not intend to take advantage of her, others could not help but see that the Duke of Anguo's Mansion had a princess, so they wanted to curry favor with her. Now the situation in the mansion is much better than before.

Now when she went to socialize elsewhere, people who used to raise their chins high when they saw her, now took the initiative to talk to her, and Liu was very satisfied with this.

"Is the prince not at home?" Liu asked.

Su Yi said, "He has official business and will probably be back after dark."

Liu nodded. She had just been led all the way here. The prince's mansion was big and majestic enough, but there were too few people. If Prince Rui was not here normally, wouldn't Su Yi be very bored?

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps on the snow outside the warm pavilion, and Qinglian reminded her, "The prince is back."

Liu had never looked at Prince Rui carefully, but now that she heard that he was back, she couldn't help but turn her head to look.

A man walked up the corridor beside the garden. He was tall and handsome, with a majestic and imposing manner. There was no expression on his stern face, and his dark and heavy eyes made people dare not look directly at him.

Liu only took a glance, then quickly lowered her head, stood up and bowed.

Before King Rui spoke, Su Yi said, "Sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite. Sit down quickly."

Liu subconsciously looked at King Rui, and when she saw him nod slightly at her, she sat down with peace of mind.

Only then did she realize that Su Yi was still leaning on the couch. Even in ordinary families, when the husband comes home, the wife has to greet him, not to mention the royal palace?

She couldn't help but worry about Su Yi. After all, it has been rumored that King Rui has a bad temper. What if he feels neglected?

Surprisingly, the King of Rui seemed not to notice Su Yi's lazy look, and did not ask anyone to serve him, but took off his black cloak by himself.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Su Yi asked.

The servant who had just followed the King of Rui and was holding something in his hand answered, "A few days ago, the prince found several white foxes near the camp, and he ambushed them for two days before hunting them all down. He wanted to make a fox fur coat for the princess. It snowed today, and the fox fur coat happened to be made. He was worried that the princess would catch a cold, so the prince took it and sent it back in person."

Hearing this, Su Yi propped up her body curiously, and Qinglian took the fox fur coat from the servant's hand and shook it gently.

The whole fox fur coat was as white as snow, light and warm, and even in the dark, the fur was still moist.

Liu thought she had seen a bit of the world, but today when she came to the palace, she couldn't stop exclaiming. Such a snow-white fox fur without a strand of stray hair, I'm afraid it's worth a fortune, not to mention that it was hunted by King Rui himself?

Su Yi touched it with her hand, and it felt very smooth. Although she had slept with a magic wolf as her pillow and had seen the other party's fur more exquisite than this, but at the moment, there is really nothing better than this.

"Thank you." She asked Qinglian to put it away, turned to look at King Rui and said: "But I'm often in the house, the wind can't blow, and I can't freeze. You should pay attention to keep warm."

"Yeah." King Rui nodded, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

That was Su Yi's tea. Liu felt a little uncomfortable when she saw it. The two parties acted as if nothing had happened.

Su Yi even asked, "This is the tea that the Empress gave me a few days ago. Isn't it good? I suddenly wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes today. Qinglian just roasted a few. It's quite suitable to drink with tea. Here, I'll give you one."

Liu was shocked. The tribute tea given by the Empress was not brewed by many people, and even served. However, her sister-in-law used it to drink sweet potatoes. There is no more strange and ridiculous way of drinking in the world.

Moreover, no matter how fragrant the sweet potatoes are, they are still not presentable. Only children from poor families would roast them as snacks. However, Su Yi treated them as treasures and was only willing to give one to King Rui. Prince Rui actually listened to her and really took one.

Su Yi talked to Liu about the previous topic, "The New Year is coming in a month. Is your brother ready to bring his nephews back?"

Liu said, "I wrote to ask a few days ago."

Su Yi nodded and changed her position on the couch. The pile of pillows fell to the ground because of her movement. Prince Rui happened to be sitting next to her. He picked it up, put it on his lap, flicked off the dust on the surface, and handed it to her.

Su Yi moved closer and looked at the half-peeled sweet potato in his other hand. She enviously said, "The core of yours is so red, it looks delicious." She just broke off two, and the appearance was not as good as his.

Under her gaze, Prince Rui slowly raised his hand, bit off the peeled part of the sweet potato, chewed it for a few times, and agreed, "Not bad."

Su Yi leaned back disappointedly, pouted, and continued to talk to Liu.

Seeing her so childish, Liu felt amused. She looked around and saw that Prince Rui was also staring at her intently. There were clearly several other people in the warm pavilion, but in his eyes, it seemed that he could not see anyone else except Su Yi.

It was said outside that Prince Rui had a bad temper and a cold personality, but no one knew that his dark eyes, when focused on one person, could also be burning.

Since he came back, Liu was not as comfortable as before. Now that he looked at Su Yi like this, she felt as if there was a needle hidden in the chair under her. If Su Yi had not been talking to her, she would have stood up and said goodbye immediately.

"When my nephews return to Beijing, my sister-in-law will have someone pass on a message to me. I haven't been back to see my brother for a while. When the time comes, our family will have a good time."

Speaking of children, Liu relaxed a little and said with a smile, "It will be a good time this year. Your two nieces will also return to Beijing with their husbands, and there will be their children. I'm afraid it will be too noisy."

Su Yi had never seen Liu's daughter before, and was about to ask about the situation when a piece of sweet potato was suddenly handed to her mouth.

Prince Rui just took a big bite in front of her, but now he peeled off the remaining half and put it to her mouth to feed her.

In front of the delicious food, Su Yi opened her mouth subconsciously, and then saw Liu could no longer hide her surprise and was stunned.

Su Yi wanted to explain that they were not like this normally, and this was the first time for this guy to do such a thing, but Liu couldn't sit still anymore. She was afraid of blushing if she stayed any longer, so she hurriedly said goodbye. Judging

from her appearance, I'm afraid she won't come again in the short term.

The author has something to say: Sister-in-law: I feel like I'm glowing.
