The princess paused, looking at Su Ruojin as if to gauge her reaction.
Su Ruojin's eyes flickered; so the eldest princess was waiting for her here.
From the moment she agreed to marry Xiao Yanchu, she knew that this was something she couldn't avoid.
Even if Xiao Yanchu and Consort Jiang are indifferent to this matter now, it doesn't mean that others will accept it.
It's understandable if others try to persuade her, but for the princess to do it is a bit like saying "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
After all, the princess and her husband had been married for many years but had no children, yet she had never allowed her husband to take a concubine.
It's somewhat laughable that she wouldn't allow her husband to take a concubine, yet she advised Su Ruojin to be magnanimous.
However, since the other party was Xiao Yanchu's respected elder sister and also his savior, Su Ruojin couldn't directly retort.
She smiled and said, "Elder sister, my father never took a concubine in his life. He and my mother were deeply in love and have stayed together until now. Ruojin also has five older brothers and one younger sister, so in terms of offspring, the family is quite large. Because the backyard of the family is clean, the family has always been harmonious since I was a child. There has never been any infighting between the legitimate and illegitimate children. Everyone works together. Ruojin thinks that this kind of family is better."
The princess was taken aback. She had thought that even if Su Ruojin was unwilling, she wouldn't refuse her so directly.
This Princess Chang Le is truly spoiled.
If someone like that married into the Regent's Palace and became the Regent's Consort, things might get out of hand.
Thinking of this, the princess's previous goodwill towards Su Ruojin decreased considerably.
"As far as I know, Princess Chang Le was only recently found. How could she possibly know about General Su's family situation?" The Princess pointed out the flaw in Su Ruojin's words.
"As the saying goes, one leaf falling heralds the coming of autumn. Although Ruojin has only been back in the Su family for a short time, she is already aware of the atmosphere at home," Su Ruojin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Does Princess Chang Le mean that she absolutely forbids her seventh brother from taking a concubine? Does the princess think she is being a bit domineering?" The princess's tone began to become somewhat aggressive.
Su Ruojin was not in a hurry. "Princess, if the Prince only has eyes for Ruojin, what is the point of taking in several concubines in the harem? If the Prince has many people in his heart, Ruojin is not good at competing with others, so she will give up the position of Regent's Consort. It will not affect other women from bearing children for the Prince. Please rest assured, Princess."
Su Ruojin's words clearly told the Eldest Princess that if Xiao Yanchu wanted to take a concubine, she would definitely give up her position as Regent's Consort.
“Princess Chang Le, you’d better remember what you said today, or you’ll cling on and refuse to let go later.”
The eldest princess was speechless at Su Ruojin's words. She wanted to see how many beautiful concubines she would find for her seventh brother after the two got married. Would Su Ruojin really be willing to give up the position of regent's wife?
"Ruojin will remember this well."
For a moment, the two fell silent.
Wenxin, the maid following behind the princess, was getting a little anxious.
The eldest princess came to see Su Ruojin not just to teach Su Ruojin to be magnanimous. The princess had not been able to conceive all these years, and having heard that Princess Chang Le was a skilled physician, she actually wanted Su Ruojin to help her with her diagnosis.
But clearly, this Princess Chang Le was not someone to be trifled with. She completely ignored the Princess's admonition. Now, how could the Princess possibly speak?
The eldest princess started by saying these things, actually intending to put Su Ruojin in a low position so as to show her authority as the eldest princess. Unexpectedly, Su Ruojin did not agree to what she said at all, which made the eldest princess very unhappy.
Now, it's a bit difficult for her to ask Su Ruojin to treat her.
"I'm tired, let's go back."
Su Ruojin would not object.
Back at the banquet, Su Ruojin returned to the Su family home.
Xiao Yanchu looked at Su Ruojin from a short distance away, but Su Ruojin didn't even glance at him from beginning to end, leaving Xiao Yanchu completely confused.
What's wrong?
The Empress would never make things difficult for Su Ruojin.
