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

Chapter 40
However, the imperial decree granting marriage is not so easy to dissolve the marriage contract.

It is true that Su Junning's move in Duke Ruiguo's family wanted to dissolve the engagement, but even though they were relatives of the emperor, they did not dare to easily ask Emperor Jianning to take back the imperial edict.

But Xu Sini's scandal was known all over Beijing, and the empress in the palace still heard some rumors.

Five days after the incident, Mrs. Xie, the wife of the Duke of Ruiguo, was summoned into the palace for questioning.

"What's the matter with the third girl, what's going on? There's an uproar among the high schools in Bianjing City, and the Xu family's face is completely humiliated!" The queen's face was gloomy.

In the past few days, the imperial concubine Qing An mentioned this incident, which made her face very dull.

Xie's complexion was also not good, and she lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, calm down, this time, it's because that girl Si Ni was careless and fell into other people's schemes."

"You mean, the fourth child of the Su family?" The queen frowned.

Mrs. Xie nodded hurriedly, "Later, I thought about it carefully, the Su family must have tampered with Si Ni's food, which made her so disrespectful. Now in Bianjing, not only are there people who are sarcastic and sarcastic towards Si Ni, There are even a group of people who praise the Fourth Miss of the Su family for being both talented and beautiful, and her piano skills may be better than Si Ni."

After hearing this, Empress Xu's eyes were gloomy.

"Then what do you mean, Mrs. Su wants to step on the third girl to become famous?"

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister's wife also has this guess."

"nonsense!"

Before Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she was scolded by Empress Xu and got up quickly in fright.

Seeing Empress Xu's face was cold and stern, "The fourth miss of the Su family and the third girl have no grievances or enmity, even if they want to step on her to gain fame, Biqin is nothing more than that, how could she be so calculated to lose her dignity in front of others? It’s fine for the two parties to disagree with each other because of their political opinions, but the emperor’s imperial decree has been issued, and the Su and Xu families have marriage contracts and in-laws, so how could they do such a thing, do you still have something to hide from me?”

Before the Ruiguo government held a poetry meeting, there was a little disturbance when Su Junning went to the banquet, the queen still remembered it.

Although it was related to Shen Qianwei that time, after all, the matter happened in the Duke Rui's mansion, and the queen also doubted whether there were other inside stories.

Among the high-ranking and big families, the most indispensable thing is private matters.

But Mrs. Xie would not tell the truth about her daughter's scheme against Su Junning before. She only said that Xu Sini held a banquet in Chengying Lake not long ago, and Su Junning was drunk playing games. She probably felt ashamed and held a grudge.

Empress Xu saw that Mrs. Xie was dishonest, and she probably couldn't tell the truth, so she let her go back.

As soon as the person left, he called his confidant servant and ordered him to investigate what happened that day.

Soon, the news came back.

After hearing this, Empress Xu guessed the inside story, and couldn't help being irritable.

"It's probably because the third girl failed to plot people, but instead annoyed people, and she was plotted again."

"But even if the third lady offended the former, the Su family's revenge is too vicious. The Ruiguo mansion is disgraced, and the Su family is too defiant." The grand lady Tan Xi said from the side.

Empress Xu chuckled and lowered her eyes.

"The Inspectorate is in charge of supervision, impeachment, and court discipline management. It is directly under the emperor. Su Yi, as the censor of the left capital of the Inspectorate, is the chief constitution of the Inspectorate. He is in charge of the affairs of the Inspectorate. Who dares to provoke him easily."

In fact, Emperor Jianning also wanted Su Zhiyi to be the crown prince's side concubine at the beginning, and mentioned it to Su Yi cryptically.

But Su Yi felt sorry for his daughter, and just pretended not to understand, saying that Su Zhiyi had a strong personality, and he often said that he would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine, and that his wife died young, leaving these two children behind, he would never let him down and so on.

After understanding Su Yi's consciousness, Emperor Jianning changed his approach and pointed Su Zhiyi to Xu Yuanche instead.

Although she can be a regular wife this time, it is still not the marriage she wanted.

However, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, so it is enough not to let you down.

"Is the lady just letting the Su family smack the Duke of Ruiguo's face like this?" Tan Xi pursed her lips displeased, "A whole family of sisters, Miss Su is like this, and the second lady is probably not much better, Yinumai look at it , if they don't kill their arrogance early, then the Su family will marry into the duke's mansion in the future, I'm afraid it will stir up trouble again."

This sentence made the queen care.

Indeed, to marry an honest wife, you can't let the Su family's daughter marry into the Xu family to make trouble, you have to suppress it early.

Thinking of this, the queen raised her eyes and looked out the window.

"The lotus in the palace is blooming well this year."

Tanxi understood, and immediately said, "But it's a bit lonely for the lady to enjoy the flowers alone, why not hold a lotus appreciation banquet, so that everyone can have fun together."

"Alright, since you mentioned it, let's do it, maybe the palace hasn't been lively for a long time." Empress Xu raised her chin slightly, her eyes were deep.

The empress wanted to host a lotus feast, so she had to report this matter to Emperor Jianning first.

However, Emperor Jianning never cared much about the affairs of the harem, and it was understandable for the queen to hold a banquet, which was normal, so he nodded in agreement.

I just added a sentence, asking the queen to call all the princes together, and take the opportunity to show them their wives and concubines.

The Seventh Prince has now reached the age where he can get married. He is one of them, and the third Prince Xia Zhang is now the King of Jin.

At the beginning when they fought all the way from Yanzhou to Bianjing, all the female relatives stayed in Yanzhou, and the third concubine Li Shi died in Yanzhou, so the position of the third prince's first wife is now vacant.

The next four princes have already married wives, so it's not good for the third son to be single forever.

The queen has no objection. Although Jin Wang has military exploits, he has always kept his duty. His mother Xianfei is also very law-abiding. The seventh prince, a motherless child with a low-born mother, is the least threatening one.

So the next day, the palace began to prepare.

At the same time, the princes and ladies of all the high schools in Bianjing received invitations from the empress.

The two sisters of the Su family were naturally invited.

But Shen Qianwei was not there, after all, his father Shen He was only fourth grade, not qualified.

The worst thing to be able to be invited by the queen this time is the children of officials of the third rank.

In the hidden jade pavilion, Su Junning held the invitation card sent by the palace and used it as a fan.

"You said, I just cheated on the empress's niece and niece, will the empress target me when I go to the palace for a banquet?"

Yingmei sat on the footrest and sewed a purse, bowed her head and said nothing, Jichun blinked her eyes, as if she was asking, Miss, what do you say.

It was still Nan Xu who was direct and nodded at her.

When Su Junning pouted her little mouth, Liu Mei frowned into a word of embarrassment, looking pitiful on her charming face.

"What should I do? I can still make calculations with the lady of the Duke's Mansion, but the empress is not easy to deal with."

"Then why don't you say you're sick?" Jichun said.

Nan Xu sighed, "This is an invitation from the empress, not an invitation from ordinary people. If the lady refuses to lie casually, and if the empress wants to be harsh, send someone to have a look. If she finds out that the lady is pretending to be sick, then the lady will kill her." You will be accused of disrespecting the queen."

Wouldn't that be jumping into the fire pit by yourself?

After hearing this, Jichun lowered his head, and then Yingmei spoke with a sad face.

"If you go here, I'm afraid there will be a dangerous road ahead. If you don't go, the risk will be great. It's really worrying."

Hearing these words, Su Junning nodded.

Throwing the post on the small coffee table, she fell back straight and lay down on the small couch.

"Yes, it's really sad. Miss, why am I so pitiful?"
