Chapter 8

The nails dug into the palms of Su Chengying's hands. The helplessness and reality of not being able to cut the eldest prince into pieces immediately caused a thorn to pierce deeply into Su Chengying's heart, causing it to fester.

The Su family was defeated, she married away to Beiliang, was powerless, and was surrounded by enemies on all sides...

Even if the eldest prince really stood in front of her now, what could she do?
Taking a deep breath, Su Chengying forced herself to calm down.

Don't be in a hurry.

Go step by step.

"As soon as my sister got married to Beiliang, the eldest prince sent someone to deliver a letter. It shows that in the heart of the eldest prince, my sister cannot be replaced..."

Facing Su Zhenzhen's encouraging face, Su Chengying was so disgusted that she didn't want to say a word.

Su Zhenzhen frowned unconsciously. If it wasn't for the eldest prince's big plan, why would she keep lying down in front of Su Chengying? She was just a chess piece in the eldest prince's hand, so what else could she be pretending to be here.

"The eldest prince attaches great importance to love and righteousness. I am afraid that I will worry about my sister to death in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is better for my sister to reply quickly so that the eldest prince can feel at ease..." No matter what Su Zhenzhen was thinking in her heart, her face was full of emotion. A touching look.

Su Chengying really admired Su Zhenzhen for being so forbearing and dormant, and saying all kinds of good things to the eldest prince.

She said calmly, "Sister, wait a moment."

Walking around the desk in the side hall, Su Chengying polished his ink and picked up his pen, making dragons and snakes fly on the clean rice paper.

After a while, she handed the letter to Su Zhenzhen, "Sorry to trouble my sister."

"What did sister write in the letter? Do you mind if I take a look?" Su Zhenzhen smiled playfully and opened the letter without caring whether Su Chengying nodded.

Whether it was written by Su Chengying to the eldest prince, or whether it was written by the eldest prince to Su Chengying, Su Zhenzhen would read it first. The former Su Chengying did not think there was anything wrong. One was her childhood sweetheart, and the other was her biological sister. , nothing to hide.

At the moment, Su Chengying will naturally not stop it.

Watch it if you want.

As long as your heart can bear it.

Sure enough, the more Su Zhenzhen looked at her, the paler her face became, and finally even her fingertips began to tremble uncontrollably.

This letter is filled with love and affection!
"Sister, what's wrong? But where do you feel uncomfortable?" Su Chengying took out a handkerchief and kindly wiped the sweat on Su Zhenzhen's forehead.

Su Zhenzhen endured the words 'Su Chengying, why are you so shameless?', she smiled stiffly and said, "Sister, why didn't you write something about what you saw in Beiliang? Being so direct might scare the eldest prince."

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "My sister said that the eldest prince missed me deeply during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I was moved and wrote this in order to relieve the pain of the eldest prince's lovesickness."

"Sister has suddenly become so calm. I'm just worried that the eldest prince won't be able to adapt for a while..."

"If someone is really worried about me, how could he pick on such a trivial matter? Don't worry, sister, I also mentioned you in the letter. It's thanks to my sister's reminder that I can express my feelings so straightforwardly."

Su Zhenzhen, "..."

Su Zhenzhen still wanted to fight to the death, but Su Chengying didn't give her that chance at all. She turned around and let Musk come in to help change clothes. Su Zhenzhen, who was shot dead on the beach, could only bite the bullet and let Wen Yu deliver the message.

Su Chengying had just changed her clothes when someone came to the old lady's yard.

The maid stood in the courtyard and said, "The old lady has sent word that Princess Tang and Aunt Su are here to pay their respects."

Gaomen's mansion has always had rules for setting the mood at dawn and dusk.

Although Su Chengying was the princess in marriage, she was also the granddaughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion, so she had to go there both emotionally and rationally.But as an aunt and concubine, how could Su Zhenzhen let the people in the old lady's yard summon her in person?

Su Zhenzhen heard the summons and hurried out of the side room. She looked at the maid in surprise and asked, "I am just a concubine, how can I be qualified to pay respects to the old lady?"

The maid looked at Su Zhenzhen and smiled, "Aunt Su, you don't need to think too much. Since the old lady asked the servant to summon you, it means that she values ​​you."

Su Chengying calmly took in the maid's words and deeds, walked down the steps and said, "Since it is the old lady's wish, my sister will go with me."

Su Zhenzhen showed a hint of embarrassment, "But, but..."

In the past, Su Chengying would have persuaded her carefully, but now Su Chengying said, "When we get married, it is always difficult to keep our elders waiting."

After saying that, he walked directly out of the courtyard.

Su Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and could only hold up her skirt and catch up in embarrassment.

The main courtyard was lively, with laughter and laughter coming out one after another. However, as the maid who led the way came in to deliver a message, the chatter and laughter inside suddenly stopped.

After a moment, Mother Zhang who was beside the old lady came out to greet her personally, "The old lady has been waiting all morning. Princess Shengtang, Aunt Su, please come in quickly."

Su Chengying smiled lightly and said, "It sounds very lively inside. I think I came late. I hope the old lady is not angry."

Mother Zhang, who has been serving the old lady all year round, couldn't figure out the inquisitive meaning behind her words. Just when she was thinking about how this princess of the Tang Dynasty could be so bold, she saw Su Chengying stuffing a purse into her.

Zhang’s mother, “…”

There is no boldest, only bolder!

Su Chengying had been living in the palace for more than ten years in her previous life, so she naturally knew that Zhang's mother had no advantage and could not afford to be early.

Sure enough, I heard Zhang's mother reminding her in a low voice, "There are all elders inside. It's not too late for Princess Sheng Tang. It's just that the second aunt came back today, so the old lady got up a little earlier than usual."

Second aunt's wife...

Isn’t she the old lady’s second daughter?
Su Chengying didn't have any special impression of this person. She only knew that the second daughter of the old lady had married well and was the current princess of the Northern Liangjing Palace.

Of course Su Chengying knew that she didn't have the ability to make the princess come forward, but since she was already here, there was no need to back down.

Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil.

Su Chengying led Su Zhenzhen into the door. The room was already full of people. In addition to the old lady and the ladies from various houses whom she had met yesterday, there was another person sitting next to the old lady.

Wearing a peony embroidered long skirt, bright and flamboyant, with a thin face and raised eyebrows, this person is none other than Princess Jing of Northern Liang.

Before Su Chengying could say her greetings, the old lady waved to Su Zhenzhen, "If you're not feeling well, don't stand at the door to cool off. Come over here."

"But, but..." Su Zhenzhen looked at Su Chengying beside her in embarrassment.

Princess Jing hummed and said, "Mother asked you to come here because she felt sorry for you. Just listen. Why do you need to look at other people's faces in this palace?"

"Yes." Su Zhenzhen nodded weakly and stood beside the old lady with an embarrassed look on her face.

For a moment, everyone, whether standing or sitting, was opposite Su Chengying.

Su Chengying stood with a smile, her waist straight, looking at these people who surrounded her and isolated her, how could she not understand that this was a Hongmen Banquet that belonged to her alone.
