Chapter 23: Outspoken
Su Zhenzhen looked up at the person who was speaking casually, and she guessed the trick.
The girl's eyes moved slightly. Could it be Wu Miaohan, the niece of Concubine Wu?
Rong Jinchen had told her during a casual chat that Concubine Wu had tried to test him at the palace banquet the day before, and had mentioned something about Ehuang and Nvying.
As expected of the Wu family, the aunt and niece are of the same character.
Are you so obsessed with Ehuang and Nvying?
Su Zhenzhen walked in a ladylike manner, neither fast nor slow, and came in front of Wu Miaohan.
Her expression was calm, ignoring the glares from those around her. Her eyebrows raised slightly, "Excuse me, Miss Wu, does your family really like Ehuang and Nvying? Why did you say something after the Imperial Concubine was criticized by His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"
The onlookers were terrified. Is it possible to tell such a big truth?
The Imperial Concubine is the biological mother of Prince Jin!
On second thought, the person who said this was the daughter of His Majesty's trusted confidant, Grand Secretary Su, and the future Princess of Yan.
That's okay.
They believed that if His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan hit the Imperial Concubine, His Majesty would even think that it was the Imperial Concubine who made him unhappy.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan dotes on Su Zhenzhen, the future Princess of Yan, so much that he was even willing to ask for two imperial edicts.
His Majesty, who loves Su Zhenzhen as much as he loves her, will definitely not blame her, and may even bestow a lot of conciliatory rewards upon her.
They understand His Majesty's fatherly heart that has nowhere to go!
What?
What do you think the Imperial Concubine would do if she wanted to make things difficult for Su Zhenzhen?
Her mother-in-law is the late Empress Dowager, and she is just a noble concubine.
Wu Miaohan's pretty little face turned as red as a boiled shrimp. Looking at the people around her who were secretly laughing at her, her chest kept rising and falling, and her fingernails dug into her flesh.
She, Wu Miaohan, is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Fu'an, the niece of the imperial concubine, and the most talented woman in the capital!
When was the first time I was subjected to such a mocking look?
Her voice had lost its usual calmness. "Miss Su, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was a hero who saved a beautiful girl the day before yesterday. I heard she was a concubine's daughter of an imperial merchant family."
What's the joke about being a couple for life?
With a smug look in his eyes, he asked, "Why should you, Su Zhenzhen, get what I can't get?"
The ladies looked at each other, their eyes conveying the meaning of enjoying the show.
The older ladies secretly sighed in their hearts, thinking that they were all too naive.
Princess Yongning and Ye Mingyan sat down directly and sipped their tea calmly.
Su Zhenzhen was standing right next to the weeping crabapple tree. She extended her slender, jade-like fingers and gently stroked the tender pink petals. "A king's words are not a joke. Father has permitted His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and I to be together for the rest of our lives. Miss Wu, do you think I'm foolish enough to commit the crime of deceiving the king?"
What woman in the world would take a concubine for her husband when the emperor allows them to be together for life?
Su Zhenzhen really wants to hug Rong Jinchen and give him a big kiss. He is simply a genius.
This imperial decree is simply a full stack of buffs.
Hearing Su Zhenzhen's words, the people who were watching the show all curled their lips in disappointment.
Su Zhenzhen smiled, her eyes gazing at Wu Miaohan playfully. "What happened the other day is a long story, so I'll cut to the chase. I know everyone's curious."
He looked around, his lips curled slightly, "Miss Luo Liu is good at making snacks. After being rescued by His Highness, she wanted to please His Highness. In order to avoid suspicion, His Highness specifically asked Gu Cheng to return to the Su Mansion to find me. During this period, the two of them were not alone.
The candied cherries made by Miss Luo Liu were indeed delicious, so they decided to make her the future female official. For a concubine's daughter of an imperial merchant family, to have a high rank, wasn't that a huge step forward?
I am not the kind of virtuous person who would take a concubine for my future husband. Your Highness just likes me for being so petty."
Wu Miaohan's face turned pale. Why isn't Su Zhenzhen stupid?
And that Luo Tang'er, you should try your best!
Over the years, countless women have tried to get close to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, but she was the only one who succeeded!
Not alone though!
But she is just a reserve officer of the future princess!
Princess Yongning smiled and said to Su Zhenzhen, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is very concerned about you, Zhenzhen. I think His Majesty also loves you. Zhenzhen is so cute, I can't help but love her."
The ladies in the back garden all maintained their composure and said to Su Zhenzhen with a smile:
"Miss Su is indeed outspoken, cheerful and generous. She couldn't be easier to get along with."
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is not the kind of person who is attracted by beauty. He is indeed a good son and a good wife certified by His Majesty."
“…”
Su Zhenzhen chuckled, her eyelashes trembling with shyness.
These people are simply afraid that what happened today will be reported to His Majesty by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and that he will be held accountable later.
She felt so embarrassed by the halfhearted flattery that she wanted to tap her toes on the ground.
But it feels really good to be able to bully others.
Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan are the kind of people who want her to live if they love her and want her to die if they hate her. The filter they use for her is thicker than the length of the Great Wall.
As for the future, isn’t it enough to just enjoy yourself now?
Wu Miaohan came to her senses and felt humiliated. She managed to utter a few words, "Master Xie is truly infatuated with the wrong person."
The people around were all dumbfounded. How could Miss Wu not be sober?
She doesn't want to live, but they want to live too!
How can they have a good life if His Royal Highness Prince of Yan holds a grudge against them?
Young Master Xie is indeed a rare lover, but imperial power is above everything else.
Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Rong Yue, who was chatting with Rong Jinchen and Su Qiyang, was listening to Yu Fuhai's report.
Her big hand stroked his beautiful beard, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she patted Su Qiyang's shoulder affectionately.
"Ziyun, your daughter is so cute."
Rong Yue was a man whom Su Zhenzhen loved and wanted to live, and who she hated and wanted to die. What she thought was indeed correct.
His Majesty now has a very thick filter for her, and she is not afraid at all because Rong Jinchen is here.
Su Qiyang smiled slightly, and said in a very humble tone, "Of course, my daughter is very cute."
Rong Jinchen took a deep breath quietly, and his clenched hands loosened a little.
no way.
This is how a prospective son-in-law meets his father-in-law.
Although he looked calm on the surface, he was nervous.
Not only did he come with the imperial decree granting the marriage, but at that time he was wholeheartedly waiting for Qingqing to arrive.
Rong Yue was dressed in a black and gold dragon robe. He looked at his anxious son with a teasing look in his eyes and jokingly said, "What's wrong? Chen'er, are you nervous?"
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips slightly and whispered to Rong Yue, "Father."
Hearing Rong Jinchen's unfinished words, Rong Yue smiled with an ambiguous smile, "As expected, a child who has grown up cannot be kept."
Su Qiyang smiled. This was not something he could get involved in.
When Yu Fuhai thought about what happened next, he sighed and complained in his heart.
What is going on?
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips, "Eunuch Yu, what else?"
Yu Fuhai bent down and spoke out word by word, observing the other person's expression.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine's niece also said that Master Xie was infatuated with the wrong person."
Oh my god.
Is this something he could know?
Rong Jinchen's eyes darkened, and deep emotions flashed across his eyes as he played with the warm jade pendant tied around his waist.
Su Qiyang was so scared that he stood up from his chair, thinking that he was in trouble.
Rong Yue reached out and picked up the Mingqian Longjing tea in front of him, took a sip, and said nothing.
