The auspicious day was set for three months later, and it was said to be an excellent day.
During the time Su Man was waiting to get married at home, she mostly stayed at home and refused visitors. Occasionally, she would meet with the wife of the Marquis of Qi to listen to her talk about how badly Nie You was beaten by Princess Pingyang.
As the wedding date was approaching, Princess Pingyang actually showed up.
Yinggu sent the servant away with the report and asked in confusion, "Why is she here? Is she here to congratulate you as well?"
Su Man shook her head. "With her personality, she always insists on being strong. How could she possibly come to congratulate me? There must be something wrong."
When Su Man arrived at the outer hall, Princess Pingyang was sitting in a grand chair drinking tea. She was accompanied by seven or eight maids and servants, some fanning her, others massaging her back. She looked more like she was returning home than visiting. Su Man smiled, not showing any emotion, and said, "Princess Pingyang has come here today. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."
Although Princess Pingyang looked down on Su Man, she had to stand up and bow for the sake of the Crown Prince's face, "Sister, you are too polite. You will soon be the Crown Princess, so it is only right that I come to visit you."
The two chatted for a while before sitting down.
"Sister, have some tea. I don't have any good tea in this house. I hope you don't mind." Su Man said.
Princess Pingyang puffed out her belly and said, "Sister, you are not suitable for drinking tea recently, so I won't drink it."
Su Man finally understood why Princess Pingyang came. It turned out that she came to show off her belly.
Tsk, it was so inconvenient in ancient times. If you wanted to show something, you had to go there in person. If you had a circle of friends, wouldn’t it be so troublesome?
Su Man raised her eyebrows, "My sister is pregnant? This is great news!"
Princess Pingyang secretly observed Su Man and saw that she did not show any resentment on her face. She felt relieved and finally smiled a little. "Yes, it has been more than two months."
Although Princess Pingyang was spoiled, she was not scheming. Under Su Man's deliberate inquiries, she told in a few words how Nie You had been looking forward to her pregnancy during this period, and even asked several doctors to prescribe pregnancy medicine for her.
But in the eyes of Princess Pingyang, Nie You was considerate, but in Su Man's eyes, he seemed abnormal no matter how she looked at him.
Su Man didn't show her expression, but smiled and said, "The general naturally loves the princess. The princess is very happy. I don't have anything good to give you, so I will tell the princess the news I accidentally got."
A moment later.
"What? That bitch actually..." Princess Pingyang was furious, and only calmed down after the maid beside her advised her to take care of herself as she was pregnant.
"I know my sister is angry, but Qin Wanrou is quite scheming. Although my sister is a princess, Qin Wanrou has been the head of the general's mansion after all. There is no guarantee that she doesn't have any confidants left. If we are not careful..." Su Man stopped there.
Princess Pingyang was born into the royal family, so she naturally knew that those dirty tricks were hard to guard against. In the past, she would not have been afraid, but now that she had a child, she had to make plans for the child. She tentatively asked, "What do you mean, sister?"
"I have a suggestion, I wonder if the princess would like to hear it."
Princess Pingyang looked at Su Man and said respectfully, "Sister, please speak."
"Why don't you return to Prince Kang's mansion to take care of your pregnancy? With Prince Kang and Princess Kang's protection, everything will go smoothly for you, and you can give birth to your son safely."
...
After seeing Princess Pingyang off, Yinggu was puzzled. "Princess Pingyang was so rude to me, why did I give her so many instructions?"
"I just feel bad for her unborn child."
Yinggu was surprised, "Could it be..."
"Princess Pingyang isn't someone you can easily get along with. Nie You might have endured it for Prince Kang's sake, but he's so anxious to have a child. Isn't he afraid that Princess Pingyang will become even more arrogant if she has a child? It makes me think twice."
Fortunately, Princess Pingyang was not stupid. Within a few days, news spread from the Nie Mansion that Princess Pingyang had sent Qin Wanrou away and returned to Prince Kang's Mansion to take care of her pregnancy.
At this point, the mission of driving Qin Wanrou away was completed.
-
The palace maids began preparing for the prince's wedding early, and on the wedding day, all the civil and military officials came to congratulate him.
Sacrifices and worship ceremonies, needless to say.
After the ceremony, Suman wore court robes and stood beside the prince, accepting the officials' worship together.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
The stringed instruments played joyful music, but at this festive moment, the sound of weapons came from outside the hall, followed by a series of screams.
The young eunuch who had gone out to check came tumbling back in, "Your Majesty, no... this is bad, Yao has turned the other way!"
"What?" the emperor was furious.
The imperial guards outside the palace had been controlled, and there were only a dozen imperial guards inside the palace, who were unable to resist the rebels at all.
For a moment, the room was in chaos.
Yu Yuanbai stood out from the crowd and asked, "Where did the attack reach?"
The young eunuch had just been terribly frightened, and now he said weakly, "We'll be outside the palace soon."
The emperor rushed to the palace gate, pointed outside and shouted angrily, "Rebellion, rebellion, are you planning a rebellion?"
The Crown Prince stepped forward to stop him, "Father, be careful! Prime Minister Yao must have made thorough preparations to force the emperor to abdicate." He turned and ordered, "Protect Father!"
Afterwards, more than a dozen imperial guards formed a circle, with the emperor in the innermost circle, ministers on the outermost circle, and the imperial guards on the outermost circle.
For a moment, only the prince, Yu Yuanbai and Su Man were left standing in the hall.
The prince turned to Su Man and said, "You should also go in and hide from your father."
Su Man shook her head. She drew the long sword of one of the guards and said, "My Yu family must be loyal to the emperor and the prince. How can we live in disgrace?"
The prince was touched by the determination in Su Man's eyes, "You are worthy of being my Crown Princess."
