Chapter 124 Yun Ji doesn’t do it, she does it
The next day.
After recovering from the shock of entering the palace yesterday, Su Rui began to organize the list of gifts to be given on the day of her wedding with Yun Ji.
Yun Ji only has the title of Prince Yong but no official position. Now that the emperor is under house arrest, it is a question whether he can still provide assistance to Yun Ji.
She couldn't just wait there, and since Yun Ji couldn't take action at the moment, the responsibility naturally fell on her.
After all, as a concubine, she naturally has to do what she should do.
From the moment she opened her eyes, she and Luo E began to sort out the gifts and records sent by various families and mansions.
On the day of the wedding, Yun Ji was entertaining guests outside. Su Rui didn't know who was outside. She only knew that it was quite noisy and thought there were many guests.
But after reading the gift book, I found that most of the major families in the capital had sent gifts but not shown up in person.
The people who came to the wedding banquet were either from humble backgrounds looking for opportunities, or from the unremarkable branches of each family. In any case, few of them held power in the court.
For Yun Ji, these people are not useless, but they cannot solve the urgent problem at the moment.
Just when she was having a headache, Su Rui saw the Tang family on the gift book.
"Tang family? Which Tang family?" Su Rui asked.
Luo E thought about it and shook her head, "I don't know, but I didn't see anyone from the Tang family on the day of Daxi. Maybe they just gave me a gift. I was busy at the time, so I didn't ask which Tang family it was."
The wedding was very busy. Prince Yong's Mansion had just been established, and the people in the mansion were not from a proper management background. It was inevitable that all kinds of mistakes would occur when organizing such a large wedding banquet right away.
Su Rui looked at the word "Tang Family" in deep thought.
There are not many people from the Tang family in Shengjing City who have connections with Yun Ji and her.
"Bring the gift from the Tang family."
Luo E immediately stood up and took out the gift box from the storeroom. Su Rui opened it and found a pair of lotus flowers carved from jasper.
The meaning is very good, the quality of the jade is also top-notch and its value is extraordinary. The Tang family is the only one in Shengjing City that can be so generous.
Tang Yuli.
yes.
Looking at the entire Zhao Dynasty, apart from the Lin family, no one can compare with the Tang family.
Given Yu Yunji's current situation, there is no better choice than the Tang family, which holds military power.
But that bastard was so stubborn that he refused to agree to the marriage, saying that Tang Yuli was innocent.
Everyone in this world is entangled in interests, so there is no truly innocent person.
Why not do something that both of us are willing to do?
Never mind, in an emergency, if Yun Ji doesn’t do it, she will do it.
Anyway, he is not at home now, and by the time he finds out, it will be too late.
After making the decision, Su Rui immediately sent someone to Prince Long's mansion to return the gift.
"Miss, Prince Yong's Mansion has sent someone to deliver a return gift." Liuli, who got the return gift brocade box from the gatehouse, ran in and said in surprise.
Tang Yuli was embroidering when she heard Prince Yong's return gift. She was so frightened that a needle pierced her hand. Without even bothering to suppress the blood that was gushing out, she asked, "How did the return gift come to your house? Didn't I tell the person who sent the gift not to tell me?"
"I don't know either. The person who was sent said that his identity was not exposed and the gift was delivered smoothly. I don't know why the return gift came today."
Liuli was also puzzled. She had listened to the young lady and had been told repeatedly. After the maid came back, she asked again and again to make sure that she did not reveal her identity. She also confirmed that the people in Prince Yong's mansion were too busy to ask more questions before she reported it with confidence.
"But fortunately, Uncle Chang was at the gate today, and the person who came also clearly stated that the gift was for you, young lady, and didn't directly say it was from Prince Yong's Mansion. This is why we didn't alert the princess and reported it directly to our courtyard."
Tang Yuli breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
If her sister knew that she secretly sent a gift to Yun Ji and Su Rui's wedding, she would definitely be angry.
But Su Rui saved her, and was bitten by the black panther and almost died because of protecting her.
Everything happened in an emergency at the time, and I never had the chance to thank her afterwards. I was also unable to help when she got into trouble for mistakenly killing the eldest prince. If she pretends to be deaf and dumb on her wedding day, it would be really inhumane.
"Miss Su is very smart, so it's normal that I can't hide it from her." Tang Yuli felt relieved after thinking about it. However, since this gift was given back and forth, it could not be considered a gift.
"Miss, please open it and take a look. This box feels so light to me."
"A gift is not about its value, but about the thought behind it. It cannot be measured by its value." Tang Yuli lightly rebuked Liuli while putting down the embroidery frame in his hand and reaching out to take the brocade box.
It's really light.
When you open the lid, you will see a lotus pink silk handkerchief inside, embroidered with lifelike mandarin ducks playing in the water with silk thread.
Liuli's eyes widened as she watched, and she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "This embroidery is really good."
Tang Yuli nodded in agreement.
The embroidery was indeed exquisite, not only better than hers, but also with much more striking and free-flowing stitches. In a blink of an eye, one could even see two mandarin ducks playing in the water.
The silk handkerchief also has a fragrance, light and subtle, which must be able to linger for a long time.
Wearing such a silk scarf will make you smell fragrant with every step you take.
But how can I return the gift with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water?
Maybe it's for good luck?
No matter what, Tang Yuli likes this silk handkerchief very much. She likes the material, the embroidery, and the fragrance.
"Why are you staying indoors again today?"
Just as I was about to take a closer look, I heard Changning's voice coming from outside.
Tang Yuli was so frightened that she quickly put the handkerchief into her sleeve, and Liuli was also quick to hide the brocade box under the coffee table.
When Changning entered the room, she saw Tang Yuli sitting on a couch embroidering, and Liuli standing beside her serving her, but both of them had sweat on their foreheads.
"It's so hot in this room?" Chang Ning said as he walked closer. He saw wisps of white smoke rising from the incense burner on the low table. He frowned at the thick smell and said, "It's this incense. It makes me feel hot just by smelling it."
This fragrance is calming. Changning was feeling restless, so he naturally felt hot inside when he smelled it.
Tang Yuli didn't say anything, but just asked Liuli to take the incense burner away and pour two cups of tea.
"Are you pretending you didn't hear what I just said? You stay indoors all day long, never going out to meet people. In a few days, the people in Shengjing will forget you even exist."
"There's been a lot of chaos lately, and Dad wrote to me asking me to stay out less these days."
Tang Yuli used her father as an excuse. Although she did mention him twice in the letter, in the end it was she herself who didn't want to go out.
After all, she was not going out just to go out, but to represent Prince Long's Mansion and the Tang family. She would socialize with the ladies of various families at the banquet, listening to them either fawning over her or curiously asking if there was any progress between her and Yun Ji.
The second thing is to let her get close to Yun Ji.
But she didn't want to.
Instead, I hope that others will really forget about her.
Unfortunately, it’s just wishful thinking.
She is a member of the Tang family and will never be forgotten.
What's more, Yun Ji's wedding and Prince Yong's Duke Chen Youmin taking a concubine were all tied to her.
She could hide in the mansion and avoid listening to the rumors outside, but what happened inside the mansion would always find its way in.
Just like the day before yesterday, when Su Rui and Yun Ji got married, Zhou Yao also moved into the mansion.
Chang Ning didn't know whether she was angry at Su Rui and Yun Ji, or Zhou Yao, but she sent Chen Youmin, who had castrated himself, into the bridal chamber and asked him to sleep with Zhou Yao and have her period.
No one knows how she died, but Zhou Yao's screams echoed all night long and were heard by everyone in the mansion.
