Chapter 362 Trump Card
"The palace is an important place where not everyone can go. If Princess Jin doesn't win first place, she won't be qualified to go." Murong Yan's voice was light but stern.
It means that it is absolutely impossible to bring anyone else with you.
The royal palace?
Nan Jiao raised her eyebrows.
She never expected that there was a sacred Bodhi tree in the Chu State Palace. She remembered that her master once told her that there were tens of thousands of Bodhi trees in the world.
But it is difficult to find a sacred bodhi tree.
Su Qiluo's face showed no strange expression. "Your Highness is right. I am indeed not qualified to go to the important place of the imperial palace. Princess Jin, I am sorry that I cannot accompany you."
"No problem. I'll come find you tomorrow after I see the Bodhi tree." Nan Jiao looked at the woman with a faint smile, feeling a little complicated.
She could understand how she felt.
When she first fell in love with Zhan Beiheng, she always appeared by his side, pestering him in various ways, but got no response.
Fortunately.
At that time, Zhan Beiheng treated every woman the same, that's why she wouldn't let go. If he had someone in his heart at that time, the proud girl would have given up long ago.
Su Qiluo smiled and nodded.
After the dinner.
Nan Jiao left with Su Qiluo.
Murong Yan did not try to stop her, because he knew that he couldn't stop her even if he wanted to, because she was not only the Princess of Jin, but also the leader of Shura Sect.
The gate of the East Palace.
Nan Jiao looked at Su Qiluo and said, "I wonder if you are free. Let's find a place to sit down?"
"It's my honor." Su Qiluo said with a sweet smile.
A moment later.
Nan Jiao took Su Qiluo to a tavern that was neither big nor small.
"Drinking?" Su Qiluo asked in surprise. As the daughter of the Prime Minister, she had been strictly educated since childhood and had never been to a bar.
"Don't dare?"
"No, it's..."
"Is it that the family education of the noble ladies does not allow it? Why can men do it, but women have to be subject to all kinds of restrictions?" Nan Jiao said coldly with disdain.
She was not used to these standard rules, and she could understand why her mother pretended to be a lady from a noble family. After all, the rules of this world were too strict.
If you don't comply, you will be criticized.
Sometimes spit can drown people.
She is different because she is from China and has a strong heart that is not affected by those remarks.
But the women here are different.
Their mindsets are set and difficult to change.
So she established the Shura Sect, where the women under the sect could be free and do whatever they wanted without having to abide by the rules that women should follow.
Su Qiluo was slightly startled and looked at the woman with clear eyes. She indeed had something that others didn't have. No wonder the Qin God of War would bow down to her.
His Highness also misses her all the time.
"I'm going to be unrestrained today."
"Let's go."
The tavern has two floors. Nan Jiao went up to the second floor, found a seat near the window, and ordered two bottles of very light fruit wine that would not intoxicate her.
"This wine is quite special." Su Qiluo said in surprise as she looked at the purple-red wine in the transparent glass. This was the first time she had seen such wine.
"This is made from grapes. It has a slight taste of wine and is very suitable for women to drink. You can try it." Nan Jiao picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Still a familiar taste.
This tavern was opened by her. It exists nowhere else but in the capital of Chu State.
Su Qiluo picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted very special. She couldn't help but drink a few more sips. "How did Princess Jin find this place?"
"I own this tavern. I'm sure you've heard that I'm the leader of Shura Sect." Nan Jiao said without reservation.
Su Qiluo's rosy face was full of surprise.
What surprised her was not that she was the leader of Shura Sect, but that she told her that the tavern was hers.
"Princess Jin is very outstanding." Su Qiluo praised from the bottom of her heart.
"I was swapped by bad people when I was born and sent to a poor farmer's home. I ate pig food, rotten rice and vegetables. In winter, I had to work even though I wore thin clothes. Otherwise, I would be beaten. Even when I was sick, I had to chop wood and make firewood."
"This is a life that you ladies could never imagine. When I was ten years old, I finally had the strength to resist. I worked hard to become stronger in order to escape my fate."
Su Qiluo's eyes widened.
Unexpectedly, her childhood was so miserable, but she was not defeated by fate. Instead, she rose up to resist.
Nan Jiao took a sip of wine and said slowly, "What I have now was not given by others, but I worked hard to get it myself."
"Now that I have family, loved ones and friends that I want to protect, I will still do my best to protect them and will not allow anyone to hurt them."
"I admire Princess Jin very much, and I believe you can protect what you want to protect." Su Qiluo raised the wine glass to toast her, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Tonight's meeting.
She finally understood the gap between herself and her, and also knew what kind of person she was.
Nan Jiao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The two chatted for a long time.
It was not until Su Qiluo's maid reminded her that it was time to return home that Su Qiluo said goodbye to Nan Jiao.
When Nan Jiao left, she packed several bottles of wine.
in the carriage.
Nan Jiao lay there lazily, with a dazed look in her dark eyes.
Molan drove the carriage and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Princess, if you tell Miss Su the details, aren't you afraid that she will have trouble finding a tavern?"
Nan Jiao's red lips curved beautifully, "Sometimes showing your cards appropriately can have a better effect."
Just a tavern.
It's not that important to her.
Mo Lan: “…”
She still didn't understand why the princess did that, but she must have her reasons for doing that.
the other side.
Su Qiluo leaned against the carriage and pressed her forehead with her hand. Princess Jin said that fruit wine would not make people drunk, but she still felt a little dizzy at this moment.
Maybe it’s because she doesn’t usually drink.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
"Chun Tao, why did you stop?" Su Qiluo sat up straight and asked. She remembered that they had only walked for a short time and it was impossible for them to reach the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Miss, this is the fifth princess's carriage." Chuntao turned around and looked at the curtain of the carriage and said in a low voice.
Su Qiluo narrowed her eyes slightly.
Are you still looking for her so late?
…
A remote and quiet yard.
"Your humble servant has met the Fifth Princess." Su Qiluo bowed to the woman sitting at the table in the pavilion.
Murong Xi stood up and walked towards her, offering her a hand to help her up. "What do you think of Princess Jin?"
Su Qiluo stood up straight: "She is very special. She specifically told me that she doesn't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She only loves her husband and children."
In the afternoon, Murong Xi came to see her.
Tell her that the Crown Prince likes Princess Jin and the position of Crown Princess has been reserved for her.
She knew her intention and asked her to join forces with her to deal with Princess Jin.
"If a man can't forget someone, he will always like him. Only if someone dies will he slowly forget about you. Otherwise, you will never get into his heart."
Murong Xi looked at her with a deep smile.
Su Qiluo: “…”
"You should have seen the way the Crown Prince looked at Princess Jin tonight, right?"
"Well, it's the first time I see His Highness looking at a woman with such tender and gentle eyes." Su Qiluo clenched her handkerchief. She admitted that she was very envious at that moment.
