Su Jingyao's gaze fell on Qi Wanyin who lowered her eyes. A hint of doubt flashed across her eyes at first, and then a hint of amusement appeared.
interesting.
I hope the Princess of Qingping County will not regret her decision.
"Please go find your brother, County Lady. I will not disturb you two."
Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Yes, I will take my leave."
Qi Wanyin bowed slightly, with no emotion visible in her lowered eyes.
When she turned and walked away, her steps were light yet graceful.
Su Jingyao walked towards a distant pavilion and then sat down.
Mrs. Rongguo also came over and sat down next to Su Jingyao to accompany her.
It is relatively quiet here, surrounded by green trees, and the breeze brings a slight coolness.
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, and looked closely through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
The expression on his face changed instantly, as if he had seen an acquaintance.
Isn’t that Yan Mufan whom I met in the restaurant before?
Su Jingyao frowned slightly, her eyes filled with thought.
If she remembered correctly, Yan Mufan should be Yan Zhaoyi's biological brother.
"Mother, the Yan family and the Chu family haven't formed an alliance yet?"
Su Jingyao turned her head slightly and looked at Mrs. Rongguo beside her, with something strange in her eyes.
The last time I heard about the marriage between the Yan and Chu families in the restaurant was ten months ago. Since Yan Mufan came to attend this banquet, he is single.
"The Yan family is afraid of our Su family, so they want to form an alliance with the Chu family, but the Chu family put forward a condition that the Yan family help the Chu family take back the third prince."
Mrs. Rongguo lowered her voice and whispered that, after all, discussing the royal family was a serious crime.
"Now that the Yan family has the seventh prince born to Concubine Yan, they naturally don't want to do it, so the marriage between the two families has been delayed, and no follow-up has been heard."
Mrs. Rongguo shook her head slightly as she spoke.
Su Jingyao's expression became somewhat solemn.
“Since the Chu family wants to take back the third prince, even if the Yan family doesn’t help, they should think of other ways.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Rongguo frowned even more tightly, and the wrinkles on her forehead became deeper.
"The Chu family is indeed very thoughtful. The Third Prince is now the child of Concubine Xian, who has a good family background, from a marquisate."
"However, the Marquis of Pingyang has no real power. The Third Prince is being raised by the Virtuous Concubine, and he will not stand in the way of our First Prince in the future."
"If the Chu family really wants the third prince back, their ambitions will swell with the prince, and I'm afraid they will completely break off relations with our family."
Mrs. Rongguo sighed.
Now the Su family and the Chu family can only maintain superficial peace.
Su Jingyao slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
At that time, Concubine Chu had the palace maid push her down in the East Palace, causing her to have a miscarriage in order to cover up some of her actions.
In addition, the Chu family had just sent their daughter to the Eastern Palace, but the Chu family's daughter died because of her, causing the Su and Chu families to become enemies.
That's why she let Concubine Chu go when Jun Zechen asked her to deal with her.
Now......
A dark and fierce look gradually spread across Su Jingyao's eyes.
No matter what the Chu family’s plan is, she’s just a beauty.
Just kill him.
"Don't worry, mother. The harem is under my control. The Chu family can't take the Third Prince away."
Su Jingyao raised her chin slightly, her expression firm, her tone light but full of confidence and majesty.
Then she thought of Princess Qingping and turned her gaze to Lady Rongguo.
He asked, "Mother, if my brother really likes Princess Qingping, would you agree to their marriage?"
"If they are in love with each other, I won't stop them."
Mrs. Rongguo had a slightly complicated expression on her face, and she frowned slightly, as if she was thinking seriously.
"After all, Princess Qingping was raised by the Queen Mother when she was young. Her etiquette and knowledge are not inferior to those noble ladies in the capital, and she also has the ability to be the mistress of the house."
Mrs. Rongguo nodded slightly as she spoke, with a hint of approval in her eyes.
"It's just... I don't come from a good background."
"But, ordinary noble ladies don't have the title of county lady. With the title, birth seems to be unimportant. Mother is very conflicted."
Mrs. Rongguo said this and sighed softly, with confusion and hesitation mixed on her face.
Su Jingyao recalled the scene of testing Qi Wanyin just now, and couldn't help but admire it secretly in her heart.
Qi Wanyin's answer was truly flawless, with no loopholes to be found.
It seems that this marriage cannot be done without permission.
If she did not grant the marriage, given the personality of her brother who was deeply in love, he would probably take the initiative to ask the emperor for the marriage under Qi Wanyin's coaxing.
In that case, Su Jingyao will satisfy Qi Wanyin.
Her eyes became deep.
Su Jingyao also wanted to know what Qi Wanyin's next plans were.
There was a smile in her eyes, and that smile was like the water in a lake in spring, seemingly sparkling, warm and gentle, but in fact there was a hint of profound meaning hidden deep in the lake that was elusive.
"Mother, if my brother and Princess Qingping are determined to get married, please write a letter to let me know, and I will go to His Majesty to ask for an imperial decree to grant their marriage, so my brother won't have to go."
Su Jingyao asked.
After hearing this, Mrs. Rongguo smiled kindly.
She gently pulled Su Jingyao's hand.
"Well, your brother is blessed to have a sister like you."
-
Time flies, and a month is gone in a flash.
"Master, this is the letter that Madam sent today."
Miaoyun handed the letter over respectfully. Su Jingyao took it and opened it gently.
