Chapter 258 I Know Your Feelings
"sure."
Su Jin smiled, she had never seen a poetry gathering of ancient people, it seemed quite elegant, this time she wanted to experience the style of ancient people.
"In fact, the flowers you planted are not enough for the people in the palace. At most, the queen and the concubines can share some of them..."
Zhao Jingyu subconsciously started chatting with Su Jin about family matters. The atmosphere was just right, it was so leisurely and comfortable.
"Yes, the eldest princess also said that the emperor just wanted to support me. I don't need to do Siyuan's work, just let me rest."
Zhao Jingyu: “Cough cough cough!!”
His face turned slightly red with shock, and his ears were pink from coughing. Although he hadn't seen all the flowers in the garden yet, the blush on the handsome guy's face was quite pretty, especially when paired with his shock at having his secrets exposed. It was simply the most beautiful scenery in the world.
"What, what, Auntie..."
How come she said everything?
Su Jin covered her mouth and chuckled. She felt that Zhao Jingyu, who was in his twenties, looked like a cute young man.
Zhao Jingyu's face turned even redder, and he even stuttered a little: "So, you know everything?"
You all know, I, I do to you...
Zhao Jingyu felt his face burning.
Su Jin looked even happier.
The more noble one's status is, the more cold and solemn one is in daily life, and the less likely one is to show emotions. But now, seeing the almighty Prince Rui blushing is worth it.
She greedily admired the rare beauty and nodded: "I know!"
"W-what!"
Zhao Jingyu's heart beat faster.
Su Jin, Su Jin, Su Jin actually knew everything?
Has Auntie told Su Jin everything? Including his feelings?
But why didn’t his aunt tell him in advance? Now she launched a surprise attack and made him so nervous and scared.
Zhao Jingyu felt a little uneasy, but also excited. He subconsciously leaned forward slightly, wanting to see Su Jin's expression clearly, but he saw the woman holding a teacup with an intoxicating smile on her face. The bright red nail polish added an extreme color to the plain background. Zhao Jingyu even felt that even if all the flowers in the garden were in bloom, they would not be as beautiful as the red nail polish on Su Jin's hand.
The ancients used flowers to describe beautiful women, but in Zhao Jingyu's opinion, how can flowers be as beautiful as people?
Su Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, remembering the kindness of the Su clan elders in the past, not only helped me and Gu Changqing to reconcile, but now he is also helping me to suppress Gu Changqing. I am very grateful."
As she spoke, she raised her glass and said, "Come, let's toast to the emperor. The emperor is indeed a rare and good emperor in history."
Zhao Jingyu: “…”
Respect to my brother?
It turns out that it’s not about respecting yourself.
Isn't this obvious? Or do you still know nothing?
Zhao Jingyu was a little anxious, and the excitement and anticipation on his face diminished a little, even the blush faded, and he returned to his usual arrogance and coldness.
Su Jin raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t this person’s expression changing too quickly?
Isn’t it said that the heart of a king is hard to predict? This prince’s heart is also hard to predict.
But never mind, they are brothers anyway, and as the saying goes, people from the same family tend to be alike.
Seeing that Zhao Jingyu didn't move, Su Jin chose to do it himself. He raised his cup and clinked it with Zhao Jingyu's cup on the table, then tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp.
“Good tea!”
The tea in the palace is better than the one at home. I don’t know where it is purchased from. I wonder if she can get some to try.
Su Jin narrowed his eyes and enjoyed life. This ease and comfort also affected Zhao Jingyu.
The ancients said that people are born in sorrow and die in comfort. In fact, Zhao Jingyu feels that dying in comfort is also good. After all, everyone is going to die, and it is better to live in comfort than to live in fear every day.
So he quickly calmed down and drank tea leisurely with Su Jin.
And today, the fact that Zhao Jingyu actually spent half a day drinking tea with Su Jin spread throughout the palace.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress, Concubine Dong, and Concubine Hui all knew about it.
Concubine Dong gently lifted the lid of the teacup and blew on the hot tea. Her expression was lazy and rich. She said calmly, "Does the prince really like this divorced woman?"
Concubine Hui frowned and said, "That should be the case. Now everyone is saying that the emperor is not helping Su Jin for the sake of the Hexi Su family. She got this sixth-rank official position in the Siyuan, I'm afraid it's not just to get closer to Prince Rui, right?"
Concubine Dong smiled and said, "I thought Prince Rui was not interested in women, but it turns out he just hasn't met the right person."
"Hmph, what do you mean by the right person?" Concubine Hui spat, "My sister's cousin was a beauty, and she was much younger. She was a perfect match for the prince, but the prince just didn't want her. Now he likes a divorced woman. He is really blind."
Over the years, it's not that no one has introduced women to Prince Rui. Concubine Dong called her two sisters over, wanting to marry them to Prince Rui, but he didn't like any of them.
Prince Rui didn't want to see her, and the Emperor didn't want to force his younger brother, so no one continued. Now, he's interested in a divorced woman?
Concubine Hui's face was full of disgust: "I don't know what the emperor is thinking, and he is promoting them. If it were me, I would just break them up and issue an imperial decree to marry Su Jin to someone else. Wouldn't this matter be perfectly resolved?"
What's good about being a divorced woman? If she marries the prince, it will only bring disgrace to the royal family.
Concubine Hui groaned in disgust, but Concubine Dong just kept smiling and said nothing. After a while, she said, "It would be nice to take some time to meet Su Jin."
Concubine Hui didn't say anything. She just listened to whatever Concubine Dong said. But in short, she looked down on Su Jin. She was just a divorced woman. What kind of person was she!
After chatting for a while, Concubine Hui left. After everyone left, Concubine Dong asked the eunuch beside her: "Did you find the person I asked you to find?"
The eunuch shook his head: "It's still the same as it was twenty years ago. There is no such person."
Concubine Dong frowned slightly. How come there was a wet nurse for the emperor out of nowhere on New Year's Eve?
And how could I have happened to pick up a bracelet like that?
This bracelet comes as a pair, where is the other one?
Concubine Dong always felt that Concubine Zhuang's son was not dead, because although a child was burned to death in the fire in the palace that year, the body had been burned beyond recognition.
A search was ordered that year, but the child was seemingly never present and disappeared without a trace.
Now, the bracelets have come out, proving that the person should still be alive in this world.
"Sure enough, twenty years ago, I let that kid run away."
Concubine Dong said this with a smile and a gentle tone, but the palace was extremely quiet. Even the eunuch standing nearby had cold sweat on his forehead and didn't dare to say a single word.
"Let's check again, who is not staying at home on New Year's Eve and is wandering around everywhere!"
"yes……"
The old eunuch left in a hurry.
