Su Jingyao's gaze fell on Qi Wanyin, who lowered her eyes. A hint of doubt first flashed in her eyes, and then a hint of amusement appeared.
interesting.
I hope the Princess of Qingping will not regret her decision.
"Please go find your brother, my lady. I won't disturb you two."
Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke in a soft 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 hint of coolness.
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, and took a closer look 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 married yet?"
Su Jingyao turned her head slightly and looked at Mrs. Rongguo beside her, with some strangeness 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 must be 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 puts forward a condition, asking the Yan family to help the Chu family regain the third prince."
Mrs. Rongguo lowered her voice and whispered that, after all, talking about the royal family was a serious crime.
"Now that the Yan family has the Seventh Prince born to Consort Yan, they naturally don't want to do it, so the marriage between the two families has been delayed, and there has been no news of any follow-up."
Mrs. Rongguo shook her head slightly as she spoke.
Su Jingyao's expression became a little solemn.
"Since the Chu family wants to take back the third prince, even if the Yan family doesn't help, they should find other ways."
After hearing this, Mrs. Rongguo frowned even more tightly, and the wrinkles on her forehead became a little deeper.
"The Chu family is indeed quite scheming. The Third Prince is now the child of Concubine Xian, who comes from a good family, a marquisate."
"However, the Marquis of Pingyang has no real power. The Third Prince is being raised by the Virtuous Concubine and will not stand in the way of our First Prince in the future."
"If the Chu family really takes the Third Prince back, their ambitions will swell with the prince, and they might 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 a 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 filled 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 Empress Dowager when she was little. Her etiquette and knowledge are comparable to those of the noble ladies in the capital, and she also has the ability to be the mistress of the house."
As Mrs. Rongguo spoke, she nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in her eyes.
"It's just... my background isn't very good."
"But, ordinary noble ladies don't have the title of county lady. With the title, birth seems to be less important. Mother, I am very conflicted."
Mrs. Rongguo said this, sighing 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 in her heart.
Qi Wanyin's answer was truly flawless, with no loopholes to be found.
It seems that this marriage cannot be achieved 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 grew deeper.
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 on a spring day, sparkling and warm, but in fact, there was a hint of profound meaning hidden deep in the water, making it difficult to grasp.
"Mother, if brother and Princess Qingping are determined to get married, please write to me and I will go to His Majesty to request an imperial decree to grant their marriage. Brother won't have to go."
Su Jingyao’s instructions.
When Mrs. Rongguo heard this, a loving smile appeared on her face.
She gently pulled Su Jingyao's hand.
"Well, your brother has a sister like you, which is a blessing he has accumulated over several lifetimes."
-
Time flies, and a month is gone in a flash.
"Master, this is the letter my lady sent today."
Miaoyun handed the letter over respectfully. Su Jingyao took it and gently opened it.
