When Su Xiyue was pressed like this, she felt as if her heart skipped a beat! In fact, only she knew that everything was not as bad as he imagined, but how could she make King Rui feel that she was doing this?
Is there no danger? Could it be that you just told him directly because you had already foreseen this result?
Su Xiyue didn't dare to say! She was still not sure how much Prince Rui was sincere towards her and how calculated he was. More importantly, the reason why he cared about her so much was because of the so-called
The destiny of a noble girl!
It's not that she is too suspicious, but because of her two lives, she naturally sees many things more clearly than ordinary people! For example, it's love. Although she didn't fall in love in her previous life, she saw it.
There are too many cases of failure! Especially when two people with unequal status come together, more often than not, they are full of conspiracies and calculations!
Pure and beautiful love seems to be found only in fairy tales. It’s so difficult!
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's my fault for making you worry." Su Xiyue looked at Prince Rui's angry face, but what was in her eyes was not blame or resentment, but concern and happiness!
that's enough!
At least, he cares about himself. As for love, it’s not too late to take it slow later!
Because of her words, King Rui's anger dissipated a lot! After taking a deep breath, King Rui's eyes were still a little dark. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be worried about something! What exactly was it?
, it seems that I can’t explain clearly.
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Su Xiyue quickly hit the rails while the iron was hot, "I know I was wrong, and I will definitely not dare to do it next time! Come on, sit down first."
Prince Rui was helped to sit down by her, and he said with a somewhat awkward expression, "Huh! Don't think that if you say a few nice words, I will forgive you."
After hearing this, Su Xiyue stiffened slightly and her expression was a little weird. The prince's appearance and the tone of his words made him look more like an awkward child!
"Your Majesty, is this the only reason why you came here late at night?"
King Rui's face softened slightly, "Your brother's marriage has been decided, are you satisfied?"
Did he really mention it in front of the emperor? Su Xiyue was lying when she said she wasn't moved! She did mention it accidentally when she was in Taiyuan. Unexpectedly, he took it to heart and actually begged for her brother in person.
Got the will!
"Did you mention it in front of the emperor? Thank you very much." Although she still had doubts in her heart, Su Xiyue knew that today was not the time for her to ask this, so she said a few soft words, and the expression on King Rui's face was
It looks a bit better.
The next day, Su Xiyue was forcefully pulled up by Aunt Xu, Aunt Qing and the others!
"What's wrong, is this? Isn't it still early?" Su Xiyue said sleepily.
"Miss, today is a good day. I'm afraid many relatives and friends will come to send congratulatory gifts, so you'd better get up quickly." Mother Xu advised.
Su Xiyue thought about it. After all, this brother was also the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and he was valued by the emperor. He personally granted the marriage. All the prominent figures in the capital would definitely come to express their gratitude. When she thought about this, she felt a little confused.
I have a headache! I always have to smile when I am greeted and sent off. If I don’t stand out, I can’t just burden my grandmother! Even if the aunt is not suitable because of her status, even if she is pregnant now, it is too much
It was inconvenient, so I sighed and got up resignedly.
Two days later, the Marquis of Wenchang still sent someone.
According to etiquette, since this is a betrothal gift, it does not matter whether there is an official matchmaker or not. And because of what Mrs. Cheng did earlier, the old lady has not sent anyone over to give the betrothal gift, just because she wants to
Mrs. Cheng is very angry here.
The Marquis of Wenchang naturally guessed a bit. After all, they did something wrong in the previous matter, but now, their daughter is getting married. They can't wait until the wedding day to give a betrothal gift, right?
So, Cheng Jin thought about it, and went to the door in person, invited the Duke of Dingguo's wife, and the Prime Minister's wife to go to the door together to act as a lobbyist for their Wenchang Marquis. Naturally, they were accompanied by two ladies directly related to the Cheng family.
.
As soon as Su Xiyue heard that they were coming, she thought it would be better not to show up, so she sent someone to invite Su Yu'er, and also ordered someone to invite her aunt to go to the flower hall to accompany her.
Nestled in his own Shuiyun Pavilion.
The Marquis of Wenchang sent people here this time, and naturally they said a lot of good things, openly and covertly, and kept saying that it was their Cheng family's fault, which made the old lady feel better!
When the old lady turned her back, the two ladies of the Cheng family hurriedly ordered people to bring the gifts. Since they were the ones who came to the door, naturally they could not be seen bringing things over, otherwise they would be seen.
I still don’t know how to spread the word about Wenchang Houfu!
The gift here is not big, it is two night pearls from the East China Sea! It is about the size of a pigeon egg, which is a good thing! The old lady is old, and her eyesight is naturally hard to use. If there are too many candles burning this night, don’t worry about it first.
If you are worried about water leakage, the smell of burning candles is not good! But if you have this, it will be much more convenient!
The old lady smiled and ordered people to put the things away, and the group of people breathed a sigh of relief! Before coming, Mr. Hou explained that as long as the old lady showed a smile, the matter would be more than half done!
Sure enough, after a while, the housekeeper came to ask, saying that the betrothal gift was almost ready, and asked when the betrothal gift would be given!
In fact, who among the people in the room didn't understand at this moment? It was obvious that the old lady had already asked people to prepare the betrothal gift, but she had been deliberately stretching the Wenchang Marquis! Who made them bully their own Yue before?
Where is the girl?
In this regard, the two wives of the Cheng family naturally couldn't say anything. They had also heard about the ridiculous things their sister-in-law had done. If it weren't for the fact that her sister-in-law was of a higher rank than herself, they would have given her a long time ago.
I stopped talking for a few words.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Song, please go with me on this trip! Isn't that right? Originally, the betrothal gift had been prepared long ago. But that kid A Zhi said he had to go hunting geese and came back.
Only in this way can he show how much he values that girl Zilan, and also make Zilan feel at ease. Isn't that right? The housekeeper just said back that Ah Zhi has returned from hunting the wild goose."
The two wives of the Cheng family were naturally happy when they heard this. Most people would hire chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and the more respectable ones would use deer and the like. But this wild goose, for
Love is the most loyal thing! It is also flying in the sky, so it is difficult to hunt live animals. This shows that Prince Su is still very concerned about the girls of the Cheng family!
When I heard what the old lady called Cheng Zilan again, I understood that she had a very good impression of Cheng Zilan! She was just annoyed with her, Mrs. Cheng!
