Chapter 198 The Fake Daughter of the Imperial Palace 4
"Ran'er still loves big brother the most."
Su Tiangang was upset and sent everyone else out of the hall. Su Jingmin walked up to Su Youran first, pursed his lips and said this.
His tone was half true and half false, as if he was joking, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Among the brothers, Ran'er is closest to the fourth brother, Su Jingxi, and has the best relationship with him.
After all, the two are twins and have been together since they were in their mother's womb. They have rarely been separated from each other since childhood, whether it is eating, living, or playing. They spend much more time together than with other people.
Su Jingmin felt bad, but he could understand it.
But why do I feel the most sorry for my eldest brother?
Her elder brother was ten years older than her. When she was just beginning to understand things, he had already started working and was preparing to get married. Later, he moved out of the palace. How much time could he have spent with her?
And what does he have?
Honest, gentle and kind?
He can't say sweet words, can't make her happy, and even seems clumsy when it comes to taking care of her.
The eldest brother is not as considerate and thoughtful as he is. He won't deliberately tell a lot of jokes just to make her laugh like him.
He didn't look for delicious food or fun things to please her, and even when he went to accompany her every day, he rarely saw his elder brother.
Even though Ran'er is inferior to him in every way, she treats her elder brother better than him. How can Su Jingmin not be angry?
Is it just because her elder brother and she are from the same mother?
"Brother, what you said really makes me sad. When you caught a cold a while ago, who ran out of the palace to visit you? And who read to you for a long time by your bed?"
Su Youran pretended to be angry and poked Su Jingmin:
"I was so thirsty from reading that my throat was a little hoarse after returning home. Nanny Wei even cooked several meals of snow pear and white fungus soup for me. How come all this doesn't count as my love for you when it comes to Second Brother?"
Su Jingmin smiled awkwardly. Well, now that he put it that way, it seemed like he was being too fussy.
"Okay, Ran'er, I said something wrong, don't be angry. I just got a set of very delicate and exquisite zodiac ornaments, I'll have someone send them to you later, all considered as apology, okay?"
Su Youran snorted softly, neither saying anything good nor bad, but turned around and headed towards Hanyuan Hall again.
Su Jingmin raised the corners of his lips. Ran'er would never be angry with him.
"Your Highness."
Sun Mingde walked over and looked at Su Youran's back meaningfully before whispering to Su Jingmin:
"Your Highness, the eldest princess is not a simple person."
From the time she entered the palace to the time she left, she only said a few words in total, but in the blink of an eye, the emperor's attitude towards the great emperor changed from disgust to pity, completely ruining his long-planned plan.
Besides, from what she said, she wanted the eldest prince to recuperate for a long time.
Then what happened afterwards had nothing to do with the eldest prince, so even if he wanted to hold on to it, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, if you don't do your job, you won't make mistakes. If you can't find any evidence against him, how can you overthrow him completely?
In the end, there is still a stalemate, and the ministers who insist on establishing the eldest son as the crown prince will still support him as the crown prince.
Although the emperor did not approve previous memorials, who can guarantee that if there is a next time, the emperor will approve it on impulse?
As the emperor's most beloved daughter, the eldest princess almost always has his requests granted. Even the princes cannot enter and leave the Hanyuan Palace at will, but she can.
The eldest prince is her brother, they are one and the same, sharing weal and woe. In order to protect her own interests, she must want to push the eldest prince to the throne.
If there is always such a person around the emperor who speaks well of the eldest prince from time to time, the emperor may be shaken.
Sun Mingde narrowed his shrewd eyes slightly. If he wanted to overthrow the eldest prince, he had to first remove the huge mountain of the eldest princess, otherwise no matter what he did, it would be in vain.
"Grandfather, don't pay attention to Ran'er!"
Su Jingmin had an obvious look of displeasure on his face. He looked around cautiously before approaching him and speaking in a low voice with a warning tone:
"She is not only my eldest brother's sister, but also the sister I love and care about the most. I will never allow anyone to hurt her. No one can do that. Do you understand?"
Sun Mingde was stunned, then smiled:
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about? The eldest princess is precious and is kept in the deep palace. Even if I have a hundred courage, I can't do anything."
He pointed forward, motioning Su Jingmin to talk while walking. After all, this place was under the emperor's nose, so it was not safe to talk.
"I was just thinking that the princess is about to reach the age of marriage, isn't it time to consider marriage? What do you think of Hong Yang? He is your cousin, and you know his character, appearance, and personality. I'm not bragging as a father, but he is really outstanding, isn't he?"
Su Jingmin paused and stared at Sun Mingde with a deep look. It turned out that this was what he was planning.
What? Is he thinking that if he marries Ran'er into the family, she will help him and the resistance will turn into a support?
This is what Sun Mingde thought. Women are always more soft-hearted and emotional than men, especially towards their husbands.
As long as her son can coax her, is there any need to say who she will choose between her brother and her husband?
If you want to move her away, why not just move her to your own home?
Sun Hongyang is Sun Mingde's second legitimate son, only one year older than Su Youran. There is no rule in this dynasty that prohibits one from serving in the government after marrying a princess, so he can still serve as an official in the court.
Nothing will be delayed, so why not do it?
"Oh."
Su Jingmin smiled coldly and spoke in a strange tone: "You can try."
See if your father will chop your son off to pieces!
So what if she is already 15 years old? Can't the royal family afford to support a princess? Why talk about marriage so early?
Not to mention that Ran'er is only fifteen years old, even if she was twenty-five, it would still be in time for her to start looking for a prince consort.
When did the emperor's daughter become worried about getting married?
Not to mention that she is still as beautiful as ever, and she is also talented and knowledgeable. Why did she get married so early?
Wouldn’t it be nice to be a happy, free single princess forever?
Su Jingmin's sister complex was aroused, and he didn't care that this was his dear grandfather. He just flicked his sleeves and strode away.
Sun Mingde, who was still chattering about how good his son was, was left confused. What was going on?
The grandparents and grandchildren parted on bad terms. Su Youran had just taken two steps when she saw Su Jing'an waiting in front of her.
The third brother has always been relatively low-key and rarely stands out. If he is not specifically called upon during a family dinner, he may remain silent, drinking by himself and enjoying himself, like an invisible man.
But Su Youran knew that this was a silent tiger cub. In terms of intelligence and strategy, even the eldest and second brothers combined could not match him.
Perhaps it was because he lost his biological mother when he was young, so even though he was raised by the queen and no one treated him badly, there is still a difference between biological children and non-biological children.
He has seen that kind of gap since he was a child, and he knows clearly that he is different from his eldest brother and fourth brother, so he never strives to be the first, let alone force himself.
Whether it was riding and archery or studying, he would always appear to be weaker than others, but not much weaker, and occasionally he would even have a burst that exceeded others.
He is neither too outstanding to attract other people's attention, nor too outstanding to be ignored by others, who would think he is a hopeless case.
Many people say he is moderate.
It is not easy to strike the right balance.
"Third brother."
Su Youran smiled at him with a smile on her face and a hint of mischief:
"I saw this year's contestants when I came here just now. They are all very beautiful."
Among the princes, only Su Jing'an has reached marriageable age but has not yet married. It is estimated that a marriage will be arranged for him in this selection.
"Naughty again." Su Jing'an smiled gently: "I'm not in a hurry, let's wait a few years. My elder brother and second brother also got married when they were around 19 years old."
But Su Jingtai and Su Jingmin both made an engagement first, and it took almost two or three years to complete the six ceremonies, and they only waited until they were nineteen or twenty.
In today's world, they are considered to be marrying late.
"Seeing that the eldest and second brothers have wives who take care of them, isn't the third brother envious?"
What is there to envy?
Su Jing'an lowered his eyes. If that person was not the one in his heart, no matter how good she was to him, he would not be moved but would only feel annoyed.
Besides, who among the eldest and second brothers was willing to get married in the first place? Wasn’t it only when they were forced into that situation that they had to agree?
Su Jingmin is ambitious. He knows that he has to get married, but he is not satisfied with the wife his father has chosen for him.
They have been married for almost a year now, and except for the wedding night, it is said that he seldom enters the main room since then.
Su Jing'an watched coldly, wondering if in the future he might have to take in a powerful concubine under the persuasion of his good grandfather.
Anyway, among the brothers, he looked down on Su Jingmin the most. He was greedy and wanted everything, but in the end he got nothing.
He also blamed Ran'er for not paying attention to him the most, without thinking about why Ran'er would value him given his behavior?
Don't let him drag you down.
As for the eldest brother Su Jingtai, he is really honest. Even if his wife is unwilling before marriage or unhappy after marriage, he will still give her the dignity and honor she deserves.
But he is also really indecisive and easily influenced.
As the marriage progressed, his position naturally became less firm amid his wife's attentive care and sweet words.
He always thought that it was not easy for her, it was difficult for her, and he was not good enough for her, which led to the birth of the emperor's eldest grandson.
These two people each have major flaws, and neither is better than the other. In Su Jing'an's opinion, he wishes Ran'er would stay away from them.
Because it's very dirty.
"Don't talk about me. I found the rare copy you were looking for a while ago. I'll send it to you when you go back."
Su Youran looked pleasantly surprised. “I’ll be back soon. I have to have lunch with mother at noon.”
Su Jing'an's brows relaxed a little more: "It just so happens that I also have to go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother. See you later."
OK.
Su Youran waved goodbye to Su Jing'an and stepped back into the Hanyuan Hall. As soon as she entered, she heard a sarcastic voice:
"I thought Ran'er was really going to be so angry that he would ignore me. After all, there are so many people who love you, it doesn't matter if I am missing you, right?"
Look, it’s only a short distance from outside the hall to inside the hall. How long did it take her to walk there?
After sending her eldest brother off, she had to talk to her second brother. As she was about to enter the house, she started chatting with her third brother. She was really busy!
"Who asked my father to give me so many brothers?"
Su Youran was not used to his bad habits: “There are only three of us. My fourth brother, fifth brother, and little sister haven’t arrived yet.”
Su Tiangang touched his nose. Why was he so wise and powerful, but always unable to win an argument with this girl?
I don't know who this sharp tongue resembles.
The Queen was the most gentle and virtuous person. Not to mention when they had just gotten married, even after she became the Queen, she had never glared at him and always did what he said.
As for himself, he is not eloquent or silver-tongued, he is better at getting down to business!
How come everything has changed with this girl?
The author has something to say:
On the possessiveness of sister control and daughter control
There is no secondary CP in this part. Married ones don't count, and those who are not married won't get married until the end, hehe.
