On a summer morning, at seven or eight o'clock, the red sun has risen, and thin clouds are floating on the mountaintops in the distance, like a beautiful painting.
Everything is as it was at the beginning, everything is pure and refreshing.
Su Qing opened the door and took a deep breath. The air was filled with a faint scent of flowers.
She was rushing to the capital today. Since Anle City needed someone to watch over her, she left Xiao Cheng here, and also left one hundred thousand taels of gold, which was her reserve fund.
If one day she is desperate, she will rely on these 100,000 taels of gold to make a comeback.
They had plenty of time to return to Beijing, so Su Qing went to the hometown of the two Ping'an brothers again, taking their parents with them.
When the two brothers established themselves in the court in the future, they would definitely have some political enemies. She settled their families in advance to avoid their worries.
Furthermore, they were afraid that if the brothers lost their slave status and their wings would become stiff in the future, they would turn their attention against the Su family, so they took advantage of their weaknesses in advance.
Although Bai Liyu followed Su Qing along the way, there were still assassinations one after another, but the assassins came for Bai Liyu.
Su Qing rushed back to the mansion three days before King Pingnan's birthday. As soon as he returned home, he ordered people to arrange for the parents of Brother Ping'an.
After the brothers stand out from the talent competition, they will be reunited as a family, which can be regarded as a reward for them.
Lian'er took good care of Aunt Jinhua during this period. Su Qing took her pulse. The pulse was gentle and strong. As long as she was not stimulated, there would be no problem.
As for the fire lotus, she has already sent people to look for it. Everything is just a matter of time.
However, as a doctor herself, she did not realize that someone was poisoning her. In the final analysis, it was because she was not knowledgeable enough and had too little experience.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to go to Pingnan Prince's Mansion for a banquet. Su Qing wore a lake blue flower group square collar shirt today.
The clothes have a waist design, and the butterfly pattern on it is embroidered with dark silver thread. Through the refraction of light, the butterfly is looming and lifelike.
Lian'er made her a pony bun, inserted a white pearl Bayao, pearl earrings on her ears, and applied pink and white.
When Su Qing passed by Lian'er, she was so beautiful that even Lian'er was completely stunned.
The lake blue color made Su Qing's skin look like gelatin, and also reflected her whole person's temperament like a lotus in the water, gentle and elegant.
It is also like the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, which is out of reach, but also like the immortals in the sky, who seem to leave at any time, giving people a feeling of being far away.
"Miss, the Third Prince is here to pick you up." Luzi knocked on the door and said respectfully.
Although the young lady has never mentioned any rules and is very kind to her servants, slaves must recognize their identity and not cross the line. Otherwise, no matter how good-tempered the master is, he will get angry one day.
"I understand. Today you check the information of the servants in the house and kick out all the informants. If there are sick, weak or disabled people in their family, treat them if they can. But if you encounter someone who is greedy, deal with it yourself."
Lu Zi retreated after receiving Su Qing's instructions.
Ever since she came back from Anle City, she felt something was wrong in the house.
The situation in Beijing is complicated, and the forces in the court are even more intertwined. If you accidentally fall on the wrong team, you will be in trouble all of a sudden.
Emperor Yihong had many heirs, but the only ones who had the ability to seize the direct heir were the eldest prince Baili Mao, the second prince Baili Shou and Baili Yu who was granted the title of prince.
The rest were either physically disabled, had mediocre qualifications, had no desire to take the throne, or were from a weak mother clan, so they were already defeated before they even started fighting.
"Did you see that our eldest lady looks like a fairy? She's so pretty." One old lady poked another old lady with her elbow and babbled, signaling her to look at Su Qing, who was walking on the flower path.
"No wonder those young masters send invitations to young ladies every day." Another woman, seeing Su Qing's dress today, nodded in agreement.
"Isn't that right? I heard that the young master of the Li family next door climbed over the wall a few days ago in order to see the young lady, and was caught by Butler Lu."
"I said come here to pick up the kite, oh, I laughed so hard."
Su Qing has inner strength and her hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people. She listened to the chattering of the two women, and her head was full of black lines.
It's not that exaggerated. Su Qing feels that her appearance is not enough to captivate people.
But this was just her opinion. She didn't know that Luzi would reject more than two invitations for her in one day.
Either from this family or that family, and without knowing it, she was ranked on the beauty list and became the most beautiful woman in Beijing.
When Su Qing got on the carriage of the Third Prince's Mansion, she saw that Bailiyu was also wearing lake blue clothes. Unknowingly, she thought they were wearing a couple's style.
"Girl, you...are so beautiful." Bailiyu was also amazed by Su Qing. The lake blue clothes made her graceful yet elegant, dignified yet glamorous.
Especially his delicate lips, which are so bright and beautiful that it makes people want to kiss them.
Bailiyu turned away and tried to look away. Su Qing naturally noticed something strange about him and looked at his already red ears, holding back a smile in her heart.
Who would have thought that the Third Prince, who had always been aloof and cold as ice, could have such a lovely side. Su Qing did not expose him and looked at the decorations in the car.
Manene is very spacious and can accommodate three people without any problem. There are soft pillows in the car and a small coffee table. There is some tea and snacks at the door, as well as a few books.
Su Qing felt a calloused hand attached to his hand, and the big hand was warm and strong.
She looked at Bai Liyu and saw that the man was reading a book seriously, but his ears were redder than before.
Su Qing took a closer look and found that this idiot had even knocked down the book.
"Oh, idiot, you knocked down the book." Su Qing reminded him with a smile, with undisguised affection in her eyes.
Bailiyu looked at her small mouth that opened and closed, and felt more and more dry in his throat. The distance between the two of them was getting closer and closer, and they were about to...
"Your Majesty, Pingnan Palace has collapsed." Ning Liu stopped the carriage and reminded the two people inside. He didn't know that he had just ruined Baili Yu's good deeds.
"Then...then I...let's go first." Su Qing stammered and got off the carriage as if running away.
"..." Bailiyu held his forehead, sighed helplessly, and got out of the carriage.
Lian'er saw Su Qing coming down with a blushing face, and took a look at Bai Liyu beside her, and understood immediately. It seemed that they were going to have a son-in-law in their house soon, and if Madam knew about it, she would be very happy.
Su Qing gave the gift and separated from Bai Liyu. As the servants led the way to the backyard, as soon as she entered the backyard, she attracted the envious and jealous eyes of all the ladies.
But most of the eyes stayed on her face. In addition, she also felt very strong and malicious gazes from the crowd.
Su Qing raised her eyebrows, it seemed that this Hongmen Banquet was going to be a bit of fun.
