Chapter 254: Shame
Although Aunt Su still had doubts in her heart, she did not stop her daughter when she saw how confident she was.
Aunt Su helped Rong Er change her clothes and put on makeup.
While Rong Er was putting on makeup, on the other side, in the front yard of the Rong Mansion, the guests were having a great time, and there was a happy atmosphere.
Rong Chuyue sat in the main hall, chatting with the emperor and the empress.
Although Xia Zhengqi and the empress met Rong Chuyue for the first time, they liked her very much.
Rong Chuyue inherited the high value of the Rong family, and her appearance was very outstanding. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a beauty of the country.
Her excellent appearance, coupled with her dignified and elegant temperament, made her even more outstanding.
Comparing her with Rong Er, it really fits Xia Miaoyuan's words, there is really a world of difference. Rong Er is more like a beauty with only a beautiful appearance.
"What book is Chu Yue reading now?" the empress asked softly.
"Your Majesty, I'm reading "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art" recently." Rong Chu Yue said lightly.
"Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art?" The empress and the empress said almost in unison.
Rong Chu Yue's father Rong Sheng smiled and explained: "Chu Yue has a strong desire for knowledge since she was a child. She likes to read and learn, and her interests are very wide."
"She has been studying with the brothers of the Rong family since she was a child, but she is always dissatisfied with what she is taught in the school. She often looks for other books to read after school."
Xia Miaoyuan listened to Rong Sheng's introduction and couldn't help but recall the plot in the book.
[Sister Rong is really a rare talent. She is wise, knowledgeable, and has ideas. If she were not a woman, she would have passed the imperial examination and made great achievements. 】
【With her talent, she is a good candidate for the empress. 】
【It's just a pity that in the book, because of the scheming woman's deliberate mischief, the prince misunderstood them and they were unable to get married. 】
【In the end, both of them had a tragic end. 】
【I hope they can get married in this life and not miss each other again. 】
The emperor and empress listened to their daughter's voice silently and were moved.
"Great! Girls should read more!" Xia Zhengqi praised.
"She is worthy of being the granddaughter of the Minister of the Imperial Household!"
The Rong family members smiled and said "Your Majesty's reward".
Xia Zhengqi and the empress exchanged glances and all showed satisfied smiles.
They accepted Rong Chuyue as their daughter-in-law.
She is a good girl who is both beautiful inside and out.
It was at this time that Rong Erqiang walked to the front yard with his injured body.
"Chu Yue, I have only heard the prince praise her in the past. Today, after seeing her, I find that she is indeed a good girl." The queen took Chu Yue's hand and said softly.
"Your Majesty." The queen looked at Xia Zhengqi, "I want to bring Chu Yue to the palace to live with me for a few days."
The queen proposed to bring Chu Yue to live in the palace, which was a subtle way of saying that she liked her.
If the queen brought her back to the palace to live for a while, she could also learn the etiquette of the palace.
[Mommy, mother has taken a fancy to Sister Rong. Isn't living in the palace just to attend the training class for the crown princess? ]
Xia Miaoyuan was so excited that she wanted to jump high, but she held back because she was in Rong's house.
At this time, the crown prince and Rong Chuyue exchanged glances, and both of them smiled with joy.
"Good!" Xia Zhengqi responded in a loud voice.
Everyone in the Rong family was smiling.
"It is really a blessing for Chuyue that the queen teaches her in person, and it is a blessing for our Rong family!" Old Master Rong said with a smile.
At this time, Rong Er walked to the door of the main hall in the front yard and heard the queen's words that she was going to bring Rong Chuyue into the palace.
What? The queen actually wants to bring Rong Chuyue into the palace? !
Why is this happening?
Didn't the emperor come?
Why didn't the emperor mention her?
She was born to be so powerful, and that day she was so weak and helpless. The emperor gave her the cloak he used for defense out of heartache. He shouldn't be so ruthless to her!
Rong Er was so excited that he froze outside the door, his body trembling slightly.
No, no, no! Even if the emperor and the empress came to the Rong Mansion together, the emperor should not forget Rong Chuyue to see her.
At this time, Rong Er was so shocked that his mind was confused and he almost lost his mind.
"Second Miss, what are you doing? There are distinguished guests inside, please don't disturb them." The gatekeeper said to her softly, but Rong Er acted as if he didn't hear it.
She pushed away the servant who was blocking her, suddenly lifted the curtain, and strode in.
Everyone in the main hall was shocked by her.
"Xinyue! How can you be so unruly!" Master Xiao Rong shouted.
"Xinyue greets the emperor and the queen!" Rong Er saluted the emperor and the queen as if he didn't hear it.
The Rong family members all looked gloomy and were extremely embarrassed.
Old Master Rong shouted, "You useless guy, it's only been a few days since you behaved inappropriately in the palace? Why don't you leave quickly!"
Xia Miaoyuan looked at Rong Er and couldn't help complaining, "You were scolded in the palace and beaten again when you got home, and you still have the nerve to come out."
"Rong Xinyue, this princess really underestimated how thick-skinned you are!"
After hearing the scolding from his father and grandfather, Rong Er still stood still, with no intention of leaving.
Xia Zhengqi said lightly, "Second Miss Rong, do you know? You have to thank your eldest sister."
"If it weren't for your eldest sister's face, you would not have been able to return to the Rong Mansion safely for what happened in the palace last time."
"People should know etiquette and know when to advance and retreat." Xia Zhengqi emphasized this sentence.
"If you think too much and forget the basics, you will be heading towards a dead end."
"Well, today you have come to pay your respects to me and the Queen. Now you can go down."
"After you go down, stay indoors and reflect on your mistakes for a month."
Hearing Xia Zhengqi's impolite words, the Rong family members lowered their heads slightly, feeling a little frightened.
Rong Er looked at Xia Zhengqi in astonishment. Meeting his stern and unchallengeable eyes, Rong Er shuddered.
No! How could this be!
The emperor had shown sympathy to her that day.
Rong Er said with trembling lips, "Your servant has made a note of this."
Rong Er didn't even know how she walked out of the main hall. She just felt dizzy and her mind was confused.
After Rong Er left, Old Master Rong trembled and said, "Your Majesty, Rong Xinyue did such a wrong thing because of our improper discipline. Please punish her!"
Xia Zhengqi softened his expression and said softly, "No need for you, Minister Rong. The nine sons of a dragon are all different. Even in a noble family, there is no guarantee that all the children raised will be outstanding."
"It is inevitable that there will be some who are not satisfactory."
"I will not transfer my anger to the entire Rong family about Miss Rong Er's affairs."
"After all, the Rong family has been a clean family for generations."
The Rong family members heard Xia Zhengqi's clear statement and finally let go of their worries.
On the other side, Rong Er returned to his yard in a daze and was stunned for a long time.
Aunt Su hugged her daughter with heartache.
After a long while, Rong Er came back to her senses. She suddenly grabbed Aunt Su's hand and asked, "Mother, can you help me ask the lady?"
"Just tell the lady that I agree with the marriage of the young master of the Xu family."
