Chapter 38 Is the princess pretending?
"Father was furious at home and in a fit of rage had Third Aunt locked up. Please forgive my misdeeds, Princess, and don't take this matter to heart. I apologize to you on Third Aunt's behalf."
Su Yunyao smiled and stood up: "Such a small matter, how could it have alarmed the Imperial Concubine and the Prime Minister?
Manager Xu did not make a fuss about this matter, and the maid of the third concubine had already apologized. In addition, the imperial concubine also gave a hairpin to this princess.
If the Imperial Concubine were to speak in this way, it would seem that I, the Princess, am unreasonable and unforgiving."
The smile on Concubine Shugui's face remained unchanged, but she was almost furious.
Why is this idiot Princess different now than before?
Every word she spoke at this moment was full of thorns, yet no one could find any fault with her.
"Princess, please forgive me. I will drink first as a token of my respect."
Su Yunyao raised her head and drank the wine in her hand in one gulp: "Your Highness has a good alcohol tolerance."
The emperor laughed heartily.
"Alright, alright, let's just forget about this matter. It was Third Aunt who beat him up, and this matter had nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine."
After saying this, the emperor held Concubine Shu's hand which was placed on the table.
"Your Highness has taken the initiative to apologize to my sister. This is very considerate. I will have someone select a few more hairpins and send them to you. My sister has no intention of pursuing the matter. This matter is over and will not be mentioned again."
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, as if hiding her grievances, "I will obey the emperor."
Su Yunyao's eyes swept over the emperor holding Concubine Shu's hand, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
The emperor picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Su Yunyao's bowl. "Royal sister, this is the bird's nest duck with lotus seeds that you usually like to eat. Please have some more."
Su Yunyao looked at the lotus duck in the bowl, but was not in a hurry to eat it. She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Concubine Shu's bowl.
"Your Highness, please eat more too."
Concubine Shu: ...
"Thank you, Princess."
The emperor looked at Su Yunyao in surprise.
What happened to the imperial sister today?
She didn't hate Concubine Shu the most on weekdays.
What's more, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion beat up the owner of Jinjinglou.
She could actually pick up food for Concubine Shu?
The emperor turned his head and glanced at the plate of braised pork. Could it be that croton seeds were put into the braised pork?
Otherwise, this would be too unlike his royal sister's usual style.
Su Yunyao finally finished her dinner during an awkward conversation.
The emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.
He vowed never to be a peacemaker again.
The emperor and Concubine Shu returned to the palace to rest.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Su Yunyao suddenly expressed a little sympathy for this brother who worked like a slave all day long.
Being treated like a beast of burden is not only mentally and physically demanding.
Fortunately, she is a woman and does not have to worry about state affairs. She only needs to think about how to eat, drink and have fun.
It’s not easy for her to be the emperor’s younger brother!
Su Yunyao picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a sip.
She drank a little too much just now and she didn't even notice it.
This wine is not as spicy as ordinary wine.
There is actually a faint floral scent, like the scent of peach blossoms.
Out of curiosity, she took another jar of wine with different packaging, opened it and poured a glass.
This one seems to have a fruity scent, a bit like orange.
I opened another jar, and this one was even more different, it seemed to have a fresh cucumber fragrance.
Another jar was opened,...
This is not much better than some other liquid.
Although it is a bit similar to Mou Rui, it is sweeter than Mou Xun.
In a short while, Su Yunyao had already drunk more than ten cups.
Her cheeks flushed bright red, and Pearl hurriedly advised, "Princess, the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine have already left. You've drunk quite a bit of wine. Let me help you go back and rest."
Su Yunyao nodded.
Supported by Zhenzhu, she staggered out of the hall.
Then I heard someone talking.
"Lu Shaoqing, the emperor has gone to the palace of Concubine Shu to rest. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"
"The Emperor summoned me into the palace, how come..."
It's so late.
Who could it be?
When Su Yunyao was wondering, a familiar figure walked towards her.
Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
Lu Mingfeng.
Why did he enter the palace at this hour?
When Lu Mingfeng saw her, he was stunned for a moment and stopped in his tracks. "Your humble servant greets the Princess. May the Princess be blessed with good health."
Su Yunyao instantly turned into a drunkard and fell to the side uncontrollably.
Lu Mingfeng: ???
"Princess."
Pearl was supporting her properly and didn't think she was too drunk to stand steadily.
The fact that she tilted her body at this moment frightened her so much that her voice broke.
Just when Su Yunyao was about to fall.
Lu Mingfeng reached out and grabbed her arm, "Princess, be careful."
A strong smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
The corners of Su Yunyao's lips curled up slightly without being noticed, and she fell into Lu Mingfeng's arms.
pearl:……
Princess, are you pretending?
I was scared to death!
Su Yunyao clearly felt Lu Mingfeng's body stiffen.
She placed one arm on his chest and took a small step back, trying to put some distance between them.
But at this moment, for some reason, she felt that the entire palace was spinning above her head.
"Turn? Turn in circles..."
"The magic of love spins in circles, I miss you so much that my heart blossoms day and night, but I'm afraid that love is only a moment, and will be gone in the blink of an eye..."
A question mark slowly appeared above Lu Mingfeng's head.
What is the eldest princess singing?
Who are you thinking about?
pearl:……
"Princess, you are drunk. Let me help you back to the palace."
Su Yunyao shook her hand away.
"Who...who said I was drunk? I'm not drunk."
After saying that, she shook off Lu Mingfeng's hand that was holding her other arm.
"All...all of you, get out of my way. I'm not drunk. If you don't believe me, I'll show you how to walk in a straight line."
Pearl looked at her weak legs and cried out to the sky in despair.
Princess!
You are really drunk after all.
I still saw Lord Lu pretending.
Please give me a hint.
I am stupid and really can't see it.
Just now, Pearl thought she was pretending, so she let her shake off her hand.
But at this moment, she looked like she couldn't even stand steadily.
"Princess……"
Pearl's eyes opened as wide as they could in an instant, and her breathing stopped.
She watched Su Yunyao, who had threatened to walk in a straight line, fall down the stairs.
Just when her foot was about to step on empty air.
Lu Mingfeng dodged, grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back.
Pearl breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and tears fell out of fear.
She ran over quickly and said, "Princess, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of you."
The pain from Su Yunyao's shoulder made her hiss.
Lu Mingfeng was only concerned with saving people. If he fell from such a high step, he would at least break his legs if he didn't die.
If the eldest princess really fell tonight.
Given the emperor's fondness for her, he must punish everyone outside the entire hall.
Su Yunyao's voice made him quickly let go of his hand and kneel on one knee on the ground to salute.
"Princess, please forgive me. I..."
