Su Qingyu stood there expressionlessly, having already guessed who was speaking.
While I was thinking about this, Shen Yue walked over with a sullen face.
"My princess, you are going too far. He is your brother, not your servant."
Li Chaoyun didn't expect that Shen Yue had seen this, but she didn't care. She glanced at Shen Yue and said, "It's not the place for an outsider to interfere in our Li family's affairs."
Su Qingyu shook her head. Li Yunzhou was a dormant wolf, waiting for an opportunity to crush the Li family.
But Shen Yue is not a nosy person, why is she so impulsive today?
But no matter what the reason, she has to stand on Shen Yue's side.
So when she heard Li Chaoyun's scolding, Su Qingyu also walked to Shen Yue's side.
"The princess must have been joking just now. Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Shan treats the fourth young master as her own son."
Su Qingyu spoke seriously, and her tone was full of admiration for Princess Yongjia.
After she said that, Li Chaoyun was at a loss for words. She couldn't say that her mother was just pretending, right?
Not only could she not say anything, she also had to maintain her image as a mother.
Li Chaoyun forced a smile and said to Li Yunzhou, "I was anxious just now. Don't be angry with me, brother."
Li Yunzhou said calmly, "It's okay."
There was still no emotion in his eyes, as if nothing Li Chaoyun said mattered to him.
Shen Yue pursed her lips and looked at Li Yunzhou, a trace of heartache in her eyes.
Su Qingyu did not notice anything unusual about Chen Yue. She did not want to have anything to do with Li Chaoyun, so after Li Yunzhou left, she also took Chen Yue away.
Li Chaoyun's eyes were fixed on the Dongzhu headdress on Su Qingyu's head, and he frowned slightly.
"Princess, what are you looking at?" Shen Ying came over from somewhere and asked flatteringly.
Li Chaoyun narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Didn't my grandmother give that headdress to the old lady of the Shen family? Why is it with her?"
Hearing Li Chaoyun mention this, Chen Ying also felt angry.
"Grandmother and Third Uncle both agreed to send her. I don't know how she managed to charm my Third Uncle."
Knowing that Princess Chaoyun liked Shen Zhixiu, Shen Ying said, "How can she be worthy of him? Only a princess could wear such precious jewelry."
"Also, the identity of the Third Lady of the Shen family should obviously be that of a princess."
Li Chaoyun's expression changed. If Su Qingyu damaged the late empress dowager's things...
This is a crime of disrespect, and she will be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Chaoyun smiled and turned to whisper a few words to his personal maid Danju.
Danju nodded, turned and left.
Su Qingyu and Shen Yue wandered around and went to the side hall again, where they happened to hear several ladies from aristocratic families chatting. Their words were all about how lucky Su Qingyu was to be able to marry Mr. Shen Sanye.
He also said that it was because the Shen family cared about their reputation, otherwise they would have canceled the engagement long ago.
Su Qingyu was fine, but Shen Yue's expression changed.
She deliberately pulled Su Qingyu over to the group and said loudly, "Sister Su, you are truly the lucky star of our Shen family."
"Your engagement to my Third Uncle saved him from danger. Now he's been promoted, all because of you."
"My grandmother said that it was a blessing for Third Uncle to marry you. Otherwise, why would she give you such precious jewelry?"
Shen Yue spoke loudly, and the ladies probably guessed that she was talking to them. Looking at the Dongzhu headdress on Su Qingyu's head, they all dispersed in embarrassment.
Su Qingyu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Shen Yue had always been kind to her, both in her past and present lives. However, in her past life, she had limited power and had been unable to stop Shen Yue's marriage. In this life, she would never let Shen Yue repeat the same mistake.
She was afraid that Shen Yue would really get angry, so she advised: "Don't be angry with them, they are jealous that I can marry into the Shen family."
Shen Yue knew that Su Qingyu was trying to comfort her and praise the Shen family. She chuckled and said mysteriously, "Sister Su, I promise you will be happy if you marry my third uncle."
Su Qingyu looked at Shen Yue in confusion. What guarantee could she give?
Shen Yue knew she was confused, but she said nothing. Just by looking at the way Third Uncle looked at Sister Su, she knew he cared deeply about her. But this kind of thing had to be experienced by Sister Su herself. If she spoke about it, it would be boring.
The two looked at the time and saw that the palace banquet was about to begin in about an incense stick of time.
Su Qingyu said, "Let's go in and sit down. It's too late and it's not polite."
Shen Yue nodded, "Sister Su is right, then let's go to the front hall."
The two walked towards the front hall, one in front and one behind.
After taking only a few steps, a lot of sawdust suddenly fell from the window on the second floor of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
All of it fell on Su Qingyu's head without any bias.
Jade and Agate came closer to check when they saw the situation. They found that some wood chips had gotten into their hair, so they had to comb their hair again.
Shen Yue frowned and looked towards the second floor of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She said unhappily, "Why are the people in the palace so careless? Do you want me to ask the steward of the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll go to the side hall to do my makeup again."
If this was a palace maid's carelessness, there was no point asking them. They couldn't start a fight over a few scraps of wood. If they startled the emperor, they would be guilty.
If it was man-made, they probably wouldn't be able to find the person, so it would depend on what tricks that person had up his sleeve.
A maid from the Hall of Supreme Harmony passed by and stopped to ask, "Miss Su, would you like to re-dress? I'll take you there."
Su Qingyu's eyes flashed, and then she said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, young lady."
She also asked Shen Yue to go back first, and she would take the two maids with her.
The little palace maid said nothing along the way. She took Su Qingyu to the side room of the palace and said, "Miss Su, please go in. All the toiletries are in there."
Su Qingyu nodded in thanks and walked in with the jade and agate.
The layout of the palace's side rooms is similar. In places like the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where palace banquets are often held, the side rooms are more fully equipped.
Feicui took off all of Su Qingyu's headdresses, combed out the wood chips with a comb, and then cleaned her face and put on makeup again.
"Miss Su, I see that the jewelry on your head is also dirty. I specially found some cotton towels for you to wipe the jewelry." The little palace maid said respectfully outside the door.
Su Qingyu gave Feicui a wink, and Feicui opened the door and took the agarwood tray from the little palace maid.
Agate looked at the neat cotton towels on the tray and said, "The nobles in the palace are very particular. They even have something specially made to polish their jewelry."
"Will the pearls on this headpiece become brighter after rubbing them with this?"
Su Qingyu took the cotton towel from the tray. It was still warm. She rubbed it with her hands first, then put it under her nose and smelled it.
I sneered in my heart. After rubbing it with this, the pearls would not become brighter, but would be completely unrecognizable.
