Chapter 2 Was I politely rejected?
Speaking of the lotus pond.
After the original owner fell in, the maid had already helped her clean up.
But Su Yunyao always felt a smell of mud on her body. In addition, during the three days she was in a coma, the imperial physician gave her a lot of cold-dispelling and sweat-inducing medicines. She sweated and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Su Yunyao asked the maid to boil water. While she was bathing, she also found out the names of her three personal maids.
Coral, pearl, agate?
It was really a small knife pulling the butt, which opened my eyes.
Who would name someone like this?
Su Yunyao was curious, "Why are your names so strange? Coral, Pearl, Agate, why not Peanut, Walnut, or Melon Seed?"
Isn't it more simple and crude?
The three of them were stunned: ...
After a while, Pearl said in disbelief, "Princess, wasn't this the name you gave to your servants back then?"
Su Yunyao: ...
Su Yunyao felt that calling the original owner a love-brained person was really flattering her. It was possible that she was not only a love-brained person, but also an uneducated and complete fool!
But then again.
Who is born into a life of luxury and yet still engages in crazy internal competition?
Isn't that pure and sick?
Su Yunyao cleaned up and decided to go to the palace to see the emperor's brother who made her rich. Whether she would eat meat or drink soup in the future depended on whether she could hold on to this golden thigh.
"Princess, the Emperor will be happy to know that you are safe and sound and have come to the palace to see him."
"Princess, during the past few days that you were in a coma, the Emperor was extremely worried. He sent people to inquire about you every day and even came to the Princess's residence to see you personally..."
Su Yunyao's carriage traveled smoothly all the way and stopped at the gate of Xuan Zheng Hall.
It seems that the emperor really dotes on his sister.
She could even enter and exit freely the Xuanzheng Hall, where state affairs were handled.
However, Daxia seemed to be different from other dynasties, and there was no saying that women were not allowed to interfere in politics.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of Xuanzheng Hall, Su Yunyao looked up and saw Chen Qiu Nian, who she had thrown out of the princess's mansion.
Su Yunyao: ???
Isn't he so weak that he's about to faint?
Why didn't you go back to rest, but instead went into the palace?
Now he is standing here peacefully, without the dying expression he had just now.
It seems that Chen Qiu Nian really knows how to grasp the original owner's lifeblood and knows how to use misery and self-torture to win the original owner's sympathy.
Without waiting for her to think about it, Huo Xiao, who was kneeling in front of the prince and dressed in military uniform, folded his hands on his chest and spoke in an excited and high-pitched voice.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please revoke your order and forgive me for not marrying the princess. I have fought on the battlefield and been stationed in the army. I have been away from the capital for many years. The battlefield is brutal and I have long disregarded life and death. I am even ready to sacrifice myself for Daxia at any time. How can I ruin the princess's life?"
Su Yunyao paused: ...
Damn, it seems like she came at the wrong time.
Didn’t she check the almanac before going out today?
Was someone politely rejected?
Or was she rejected by the man the original owner had been pursuing for years?
The moment their eyes met.
Su Yunyao:!!!
Shen Qiunian: ...
Huo Xiao: ???
When the emperor saw her coming, his cold eyes softened a little. "Why are you here at this hour, sister? I was just about to finish the things I have on hand and go to the princess's residence to see you. Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, my Royal Brother. I'm fine now."
Su Yunyao was so embarrassed that she could not even think of living in the three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. She walked to the emperor with her head held high, sat down as if nothing had happened, and lifted the strands of hair on her temples.
"Royal sister, are you here to find...?"
The emperor said, glancing sideways at Shen Qiu Nian.
Su Yunyao: ...
no!
She is not!!!
The emperor's brother has a deep misunderstanding of her!
Jianqiu, my head hurts so much!
After she threw Chen Qiu Nian out of the princess's mansion, she had no idea where he went, so how could she possibly chase him here?
She clearly came here just to cling to the emperor's golden thigh.
However, the original owner had been pestering Chen Qiu Nian every day, which had already made the emperor have deep-rooted ideas, and it would be difficult to change them in a short time.
There was a hint of unnaturalness in Chen Qiu Nian's eyes, as if he was deliberately hiding something. He clenched one hand into a fist, placed it to his lips and coughed lightly.
Su Yunyao: ...
Damn, this Chen Qiu Nian has so many dramas!
"Royal brother, since this..." Su Yunyao paused, and found this person in the fragmented memories of the original owner, "...General Huo is unwilling, Royal brother, there is no need to force him."
Huo Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, and he raised his eyes to look at Su Yunyao.
His marriage with Su Yunyao was proposed when the late emperor was still alive, but it was just a proposal and there was no actual decree to grant the marriage.
For some reason, the emperor summoned him into the palace today and suddenly brought up this matter.
In recent years, Xijing has been in constant war, and he has been guarding the border and has never returned to Beijing.
Even if he had not returned to Beijing, the matter between the eldest princess and Shen Qiu Nian had already spread to the army.
He has no one in mind, but it's not that he is unwilling to let the emperor grant him a marriage.
But how could he be forced to marry the eldest princess when he knew that she already had someone in her heart?
Speaking of which...
This was the first time he saw the eldest princess in person.
Su Yunyao sat beside the emperor, one hand resting on the table to support her chin, her eyebrows were lightly raised and her eyes were full of spring, her skin was as smooth as warm jade, her light was soft and not sticky, and her beauty was as red as dripping. Her eyes were as bright as autumn water, with a sense of world-weariness, charming and unpretentious.
The eldest princess is so beautiful...?
Su Yunyao glanced at Huo Xiao and added, "Royal brother, you know, I never like to force people. After all, a forced melon is not sweet."
Standing to one side, Shen Qiu Nian, who had been forced by Su Yunyao for many years, said: ...
The emperor's lips twitched: ...
Don’t like forcing people?
He remembered when his royal sister was madly pursuing Shen Qiu Nian.
He also once told his sister that a forced melon is not sweet.
What did the imperial sister say at that time? She told him very confidently, who said she liked to eat melon.
What a great royal sister!
He changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
But I heard her reply so decisively and straightforwardly.
She must be afraid that Chen Qiu Nian would misunderstand her, and she really didn't like Huo Xiao...
"Since my sister has interceded for General Huo, the marriage between General Huo and my sister will be discussed another day. General Huo, please withdraw. I have something to discuss with my sister."
After Huo Xiao left, Su Yunyao's gaze fell on Chen Qiu Nian. She looked at him intently, with disgust written all over her face.
It seems to be saying, why don’t you get out of here?
Shen Qiunian: ...
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
After Chen Qiu Nian left, the emperor sent in many of Su Yunyao's favorite snacks and fresh fruits.
Only after all the palace people had left did he become unable to restrain his chatter.
"My sister is so willful this time. How could you commit suicide for a man? Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"If the Imperial Sister is truly in love with Chen Qiu Nian, I will issue an edict to follow the Imperial Sister's wishes, so that the Imperial Sister will not do anything stupid in the future and hurt herself."
