Madam Su naturally understood the implication of Consort Jiang's words and smiled, "Thank you for your praise, Consort Jiang. My daughter has finally returned to my side. I wish I could be with her all the time to make up for the years I have neglected her."
Madam Su's words were tantamount to telling everyone that the General's Mansion had no plans to marry off its daughter.
That's true. They just found their daughter, so there's no reason for them to marry her off right away.
Consort Jiang smiled but remained silent.
She wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, Xiao Jin was already wearing the bracelet she had given her, so this daughter-in-law couldn't escape her.
"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager have arrived."
A shrill voice rang out, startling everyone present.
The Su family naturally sent an invitation to the palace. Normally, when a subject holds a banquet for his daughter, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager would attend.
At most, sending appropriate congratulatory gifts according to the degree of importance attached to the subject is sufficient.
The Su family never expected that the Emperor and Empress Dowager would come in person today.
Everyone present immediately rushed to the gate of the mansion, and Ulala knelt on the ground:
"Your Majesty, I greet you. Long live the Emperor!"
"Greetings, Empress Dowager. Long live the Empress Dowager!"
Xiao Chenyi waved his hand: "All of you, rise, there is no need for formalities. I heard that Minister Su has found her daughter, and her long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. I should come and offer my congratulations."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, a group of eunuchs carried more than ten boxes of congratulatory gifts into the mansion.
Empress Dowager Wei smiled and asked, "I wonder which one of you is the eldest daughter of the Su family? Come, let me see."
Su Ruojin stepped out of the crowd, knelt down and bowed: "Your subject Su Ruojin greets Your Majesty and Empress Dowager."
Su Ruojin?
Empress Dowager Wei was startled. Was it the doctor Yan Yang who cured Yi'er's mental illness?
Is she General Su's daughter?
What a coincidence!
"Get up quickly, let me take a good look at you."
Su Ruojin thanked the emperor and rose, her eyes calm and composed, showing no sign of fear or trepidation.
This was also the first time that Empress Dowager Wei and Xiao Chenyi had met Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin was wearing a light pink fairy dress with a white gauze outer garment. Her delicate hair was adorned with a jade hairpin with flying cloud patterns and a kingfisher feather tassel hair ornament. Her hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, making her fair face and slender waist stand out.
When she was young, Madam Su was known as the most beautiful woman in the Great Chu. Su Ruojin naturally inherited her mother's beauty perfectly, and had some of Su Yunfeng's heroic spirit. Coupled with her innate aloof temperament, she made Xiao Chenyi's heart flutter the moment he saw her.
Wei Xuelin, hidden in the crowd, was also moved when he saw Su Ruojin like this.
He glanced furtively at Xiao Yanchu, who seemed to be looking at Empress Dowager Wei, his gaze not falling on Su Ruojin.
Could the rumors be untrue?
Wei Xuelin composed himself, lowered his head, and seemed lost in thought.
Empress Dowager Wei concealed her shock and smiled calmly, saying, "General Su, Madam Su has truly given birth to a fine daughter. She is indeed gentle and kind, virtuous and prudent. Very good, truly wonderful."
Gentle and kind, virtuous and prudent in conduct?
Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin smiled inwardly. Empress Dowager Wei was warning her to be cautious and to listen to her.
obedient?
What are you listening to?
Should we listen to Empress Dowager Wei?
That depends on whether Empress Dowager Wei has the ability.
Yao Lan, who was following behind Empress Dowager Wei, was so angry that she could hardly control her expression.
Originally, the General's Mansion had not sent her an invitation, since it was inappropriate for a princess from another country to do so.
But when Yaolan heard that the Regent would also be coming to the General's Mansion, she asked the Empress Dowager if she could come and see it as well.
It wasn't a big deal, so Empress Dowager Wei agreed.
But Yao Lan never expected that the general's daughter who had been found was actually Su Ruojin!
With this background, Su Ruojin and the Regent...
Can't!
