With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 106 No other meaning

In fact, it wasn't just other people, Su Junning's heart skipped a beat too.

If you don't sell yourself too well, you will be topped.

So while thanking her, Su Junning carefully looked at Jianning's expression.

Fortunately, fortunately, she only saw on the face of Emperor Jianning that the elders loved the younger generation, and the father loved his daughter, not the love between a man and a woman.

It shouldn't be because he fell in love with her.

But just to be on the safe side, until receiving the reward, Su Junning behaved very quietly and obediently, and did not show her head again.

After the reward was over, he hurried back to his seat.

Cui Shi looked at her hesitantly, and finally just smiled and patted her hand.

Thinking that her mother might be worrying too much, Su Junning lowered her voice and approached.

"Mother, don't think too much, the emperor just treats me as a daughter, a junior, there is no other meaning."

"I hope so, you should be more vigilant." Cui said in a low voice.

When the mother and daughter said this, Xie Shi and Xu Sini, who had just gone to rest in the side hall, also returned to the main hall.

Xu Sini had adjusted her mood at first, but when she passed by Su Junning, she saw Nan Xu standing behind her holding a tray filled with gold and colorful feather coats, and her heart fluctuated again.

She had seen this dress before, because when the western vassal states came to court, there was a welcome banquet in the palace, and the first and second rank ministers and relatives of the emperor and relatives all participated. At that time, this wing was quite admirable.

How could Su Junning have this feather coat? Could it be that she wanted this coat as a reward from the emperor?
But such a precious thing, how could the emperor give it to her as a reward, not to mention, Su Junning probably wouldn't dare to ask for it.

And when she returned to her seat, after she knew the reason from the comments of others, she hated Su Junning very much for a while.

"The seductive bitch is used to winning the favor of men!"

Xu Sini couldn't hold back, and cursed this sentence in a low voice.

Although Mrs. Xie didn't hear it, she could still see some annoyance from her daughter's expression, so she lowered her voice to remind.

"Don't forget what mother told you, don't pay attention to winning or losing between you and her, your purpose is to let people in Bianjing see your talent."

After getting the reminder, Xu Sini took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Yes, she can't care too much about Su Junning at the moment. She took the third place in poetry and the first place in calligraphy, which is also a very good result.

As long as the next painting can still be won by her, then she will still be that talented woman admired by everyone, the noble daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

Emperor Jianning rewarded Su Junning with a precious colored gold and colorful feather coat, so naturally he couldn't be too stingy with Xu Sini, so he rewarded her with a phoenix peony hair crown that belonged to the former emperor and empress.

But this hair crown is not as precious as Yuyi, so everyone still remembers Su Junning more in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the competition between calligraphy and poetry has already been tested, and there will be a competition for paintings next. Is your majesty still interested in continuing?"

Queen Xu spoke softly.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianning refused.

"It's a rare Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, but there's no need to compete in these matters. It's enough to add to the fun this time. There's no need to compete in painting. Let's dance and dance."

At this time, Emperor Jianning had already seen the Queen's intentions.

Where did he want to cheer him up, and it wasn't what he said at the beginning. He wanted to choose wives for King Jin and the Seventh Prince, and he clearly wanted to pave the way for Xu Sini.

During this period of time, Emperor Jianning knew about the struggle between the Xu family and the Su family, and between the two young ladies.

And the queen took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to praise her niece and deal with the daughter of a courtier's family. In Emperor Jianning's heart, she lost the dignity of the mother of the country.

Emperor Jianning can accept the challenge from Xu Sini and Su Junning, as well as the Xu family and the Su family, but as the mother of the country, the first thing that should be considered is the royal family's face and her status as a queen, so she can't make such a move. Let the courtiers look down on things.

Therefore, Emperor Jianning was unwilling to set up this stage for the queen again.

Empress Xu was rejected, and she was still a little unwilling, so she persuaded her again.

"I watch songs and dances every year. After all, it's not as fresh as painting."

"It's more interesting to watch the songs and dances. I heard that Lefang has arranged some new songs and dances for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'd like to see them." Emperor Jianning still didn't let go.

After this, Empress Xu didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she had to let people perform singing and dancing.

Xu Sini who was sitting at the bottom suddenly became restless.

The agreed arrangement is done, it's even better than a painting, so it's gone?
So what is today, everyone's eyes are on Su Junning, how many people especially remember her?
After sitting down for a while, everyone discussed not the sheet music of high mountains and flowing water mentioned by the emperor, but also the poem about drinking alone under the moon made by Su Junning, and the colorful gold feather coat that the emperor offered to Su Junning.

She, who also won the first place, was not included in the discussion at all. It seemed that the focus of the audience today was only Su Junning.

Xu Sini lowered her eyes and tightly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

Why, why, after Su Junning appeared, her glory and all the things she liked were taken away, why didn't Su Junning die, why wasn't she the one who was ashamed!
The hatred churning in her heart caused Xu Sini's face, which had finally calmed down, to become distorted again.

Finally, she still couldn't bear it anymore, she got up and left the hall with an excuse to go out to breathe.

Seeing her daughter's back, Mrs. Xie sighed deeply.

"It's still too impetuous. After all, these years have passed too smoothly. When encountering this kind of thing, I can't stabilize."

"Ma'am, don't worry too much, Miss is still young, you still have time to teach me more." Guizhi comforted in a low voice.

Xie Shi pursed her lips and pinched the center of her brows irritably.

"Eastern Palace's small election is coming soon, I don't have time to hone her more, how can I gain a foothold in the East Palace with such a temper."

"His Royal Highness and our young lady are cousins, the young lady will not suffer any disadvantage," Guizhi said.

Mrs. Xie waved her hand, not discussing this topic anymore.

After all, it's a banquet in the palace, so it's not good to be overheard by others.

At that time, on Su Junning's side, Su Zhiyi suddenly got up, overwhelmed by alcohol, and wanted to go for a walk.

Cui Shi naturally wouldn't allow it, but Su Junning noticed that King Jin who was sitting across from him also got up, and was almost walking to the door at this moment.

Su Junning couldn't help thinking about this.

Does Su Zhiyi really want to go out to breathe, or does he want to go out and meet King Jin?

The little gossip came out, and she was a little bored sitting at the moment, so she also said that she wanted to go out to breathe, and followed Su Zhiyi out of the hall.

"Miss, are we going to follow Miss Er?" Nan Xu whispered.

Su Junning smacked her lips, "Why did you follow her? It's not nice to say it. I am concerned about my sister's safety. Let's go."

The master and servant quietly followed Su Zhiyi's footsteps from a distance.

Su Zhiyi didn't notice that there was someone behind him, and followed in the direction of King Jin.

Not long after, I saw someone in a gazebo.

With a touch of joy in his eyes, Shi Shi ran forward and bowed to salute.

"The courtier has met His Royal Highness King Jin."
