Ye Shihan put his hands behind his back and looked at Su Mu'er and Su Yuanmin condescendingly. Then he opened his thin lips and spoke slowly,
"I have brought you the Emperor's decree. In view of Su Yuanmin's diligence and studiousness, I am granting him a special pardon to participate in the palace examination next month. I express my gratitude for this."
this……
After hearing this oral instruction, Su Muer and Su Yuanmin looked at each other in confusion.
"You two, why don't you accept the order and thank me?"
He narrowed his eyes slyly and raised his eyebrows at the Su family siblings who were still kneeling on the ground in a daze.
Su Yuanmin was the first to react. He hurriedly lowered his hands to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Grassman Su Yuanmin accepted the decree to express his gratitude."
Su Mu'er immediately smiled and kowtowed, "Thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
Ye Shihan glanced meaningfully at Su Yuanmin, who had just stood up from the ground, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have to work hard and hope that you can win the first prize, and you won't be in vain for the emperor to trust you once."
Su Yuanmin nodded without thinking, "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, please rest assured. Your Majesty, please rest assured. Yuanmin will work hard."
After listening to Su Yuanmin's words, he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Muer. Her eyes were extremely clear.
Her dark eyes met his eyes as deep as cold pools. She hurriedly avoided them while he smiled slightly.
"It can be said that your family has a double blessing today, congratulations."
There was no delay in his words. After he finished speaking, he said again: "Farewell."
His handsome back quickly disappeared in front of her.
Su Yuanmin glanced at Su Muer without reacting,
"Third Sister, is what he said true?"
Su Muer's already sharp eyes narrowed slightly inadvertently, and a puzzled look flashed across her eyes.
She was a little confused as to why the emperor suddenly issued such a decree.
At this moment, Princess Jiaoyue ran in panting and holding up her skirt.
"Su Yuanmin, Su Yuanmin."
Her voice was a little urgent, but also a little surprised.
Seeing her coming, Su Yuanmin couldn't help but frown. His biggest headache was seeing her.
Su Muer stepped forward to greet her in a friendly manner.
"Princess Jiaoyue, why are you in such a hurry?"
She raised her head arrogantly, "Su Yuanmin, should you thank me?"
"What should I thank you for? Thank you for torturing me every day? Let me tell you, I won't have time to accompany you in the future. I have to take part in the imperial examination next month."
"Humph! You don't want to thank me for this." Princess Jiaoyue rubbed her nose and snorted coldly at him.
"Thank you? Is it because you begged for me in front of the emperor?"
Su Yuanmin looked at her in surprise, he didn't quite believe that she would have such a good intention.
Princess Jiaoyue pursed her lips, sat down on the chair, picked up the handkerchief and dabbed it on her forehead, and spoke with some embarrassment,
"That's not entirely true. Brother Qi brought it up. I just echoed it, but I also have some credit for it. You have to thank me."
Her words surprised Su Muer. Was it Ye Shihan who was pleading for mercy in front of the emperor? I didn't expect that he would be so kind.
"Then how do you want me to thank you?" Su Yuanmin looked at her with his hands on his hips.
Princess Jiaoyue placed her fingers on her chin and pondered for a while, then rolled her eyes.
"Just treat me to meals for a month."
"What? A month? Are you crazy?"
"What's the matter? It's not easy for you to take part in the palace examination. What's the matter with having to eat for a month? Is it Miss Su?"
Su Mu'er couldn't help but smile when she heard what she said.
"Princess Jiaoyue is right, Yuan Min, our family owns a restaurant, so there is no problem in providing for Princess Jiaoyue's meals for a month."
Princess Jiaoyue raised her eyebrows even more unscrupulously when she heard what she said.
"You heard it, Miss Su said it's no problem, but you must get the top prize, otherwise my seventh brother will be in trouble?"
"Why is your seventh brother so miserable?"
Su Yuanmin looked at her in confusion, and Su Muer also frowned and listened.
She pursed her lips and waved the handkerchief helplessly,
"The emperor said that if you fail to get the top prize, he will draw lots to grant you a marriage. Whichever one you win will be given a marriage. Don't you think my seventh brother is miserable?"
"What's so bad about that? Is this a good thing?" Yuan Min curled his lips, a little confused.
"What do you know?" She glared at him, "My seventh brother doesn't want to marry Miss Xiao and Sun at all, and I don't know what he is thinking, but his lifelong happiness is in your hands, so you can't be careless.
ah."
Su Mu'er listened to Princess Jiaoyue's words, her face kept sullen, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
It turned out that he made this decision for Yuan Min.
Yuan Min pursed his lips and turned to look at Su Muer,
"Third Sister, I'll go to Mr. Zeng's school tomorrow. I can't be careless about this palace examination. Otherwise, if His Highness the Seventh Marries someone he doesn't want to marry because of me, then I will be very sorry for him."
Su Muer's eyes, which were like clear water, suddenly became cold and cold, she opened her red lips lightly and said cruelly:
"Who he marries is his business and it has nothing to do with us. You just have to be yourself. Whether you get the top prize or not is not something you can decide."
After saying that, she turned around coldly and walked out the door.
She wanted to go out for some air. Ye Shihan, what are you going to do? The Su family doesn't need your help, why should you?
Wutong Lane was unusually quiet in the morning, and the breeze blew across her face, blowing up her broken hair. She walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, and looked at the gold-lettered plaque hanging above her head, feeling a surge of emotion in her heart.
Presumably, this golden plaque is also related to him.
Ye Shihan, I want to get rid of you, but I really can’t get rid of you? Don’t be so nice to me. I, Su Muer, really don’t want to have anything to do with your royal family.
"Miss……"
Aqiu's voice broke her thoughts, and she came back to her senses and looked at her, "Where are you going?"
"Miss, I want to ask for a leave from you. My mother wants to eat braised eggs. I will send some back to her, but I gave her money. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Wu."
Seeing Ah Qiu's nervous look, she nodded and chuckled, "Go ahead and come back before lunch."
Ah Qiu nodded, "Don't worry, miss. Ah Zi has been doing very well these days. I'll leave the business of the store to her. I'll be back in a while."
When it came to Ah Zi, Su Muer felt that she had not paid much attention to her these days because she was too busy. She was still a little worried about Ah Zi.
For some reason, after spending a few days in jail last time, she felt that her temperament had become much calmer.
Watching A Qiu trotting away, she raised her feet and headed towards the rice noodle shop that A Qiu was in charge of.
A girl in the store was cleaning the table. She stepped in and the girl leaned over and saluted.
"The lady is here."
She nodded, "Well, where's Azi?"
The girl turned around and took a look, "You were here just now, maybe you went to the latrine?"
She waved her hand to signal the girl to continue what she was doing, and walked slowly towards the inner room.
Azi was looking around in the kitchen at this time. She probably knew some of the recipe for this rice noodle, but there were several ingredients that had been prepared, and she didn't know what they were, so she had to find this ingredient package.
Su Mu'er stood at the door of the kitchen and stared at Ah Zi who was rummaging in the cabinet, and suddenly said,
