Chapter 40
Su Huai raised his hand to return the salute to the crowd. Several young people who came up greeted Su Huai with a smile, and glanced sideways at the two people beside Su Huai.

"Oh, isn't this Su Ke?" These people usually play well with Su Huai, and there are a few who have participated in bullying Su Ke on the street or in Su's residence. There was an undisguised sneer on his face.

"Mo'er, let's go to the lake." Su Ke ignored those ugly faces, and she pulled Su Mo towards the lake.

"Hey, Major General Su, I heard that something happened in the Su residence a few days ago, the housekeeper died, what's going on?" Someone turned his head and looked at the two walking side by side in surprise, and asked Su Huai.

The butler of Su's house was whipped to death, Su Ke changed his temper and became extremely ferocious, all these things were suppressed by Su Dingkun, and he informed the whole house that if there was any leak of news, he would be killed with a stick.

However, Su Kui, the housekeeper, relied on the trust of his owner, and often flaunted his power inside and outside the capital. Now, the housekeeper has not been around for a few days. Many people, out of curiosity, inquired and guessed through some channels. I got the news: the housekeeper of the Su residence died suddenly!

"Dead of illness!" Su Huai said angrily, then waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Let's go, go to the lake, what are you doing standing here?"

The princes and brothers looked at each other, and then walked towards the lake with Su Huai.

Su Ke came to the Liushang Poetry Meeting, one reason was to fulfill the wish of Su Huai and Princess An Ning, and the other reason was to take Su Mo, who usually stayed out of the house, out to relax and meet the bustling people outside. In the scene, for Su Mo, Su Ke always has a guilty heart. Su Ke hopes that she can be strong before Su Mo is sent to marry, strong enough to change Su Mo's fate.

There are two or three pavilions by the lake, and two or three pavilions in the center of the lake, surrounded by veils. In one pavilion, it can be vaguely seen that people of high status are sitting, but look at the entrance to the lake. The stone bridge of the Xinting Pavilion was full of guards and soldiers, and when the veil was floating, the people in the pavilion wore luxurious clothes, and one could roughly guess that the person sitting there must be the organizer of this Liushang poetry meeting— —Princess Rong, the younger sister-in-law of the current emperor.

The three lake pavilions are not connected, but they are not far away. People sitting in the pavilions can chat with each other as long as their voices are a little higher.

In the largest gazebo, apart from Prince Rong and Princess Rong, there are two people sitting, one is a woman, she looks not very old, she is wearing a goose-yellow matching skirt, and the outside is covered with a smoke basket veil of the same color, and the veil is flying up. , the woman turned her head, and met Su Ke who was standing by the lake enjoying the scenery.

Her phoenix eyes widened and her face was full of anger, Princess Anning gritted her teeth at Su Ke, as if the young man by the lake in a half-worn silver robe was her father-killing enemy.

Su Ke looked at Princess An Ning whose face was distorted due to anger. She raised her thin lips slightly, and her eyes flicked across An Ning's face. She raised her finger and pointed to a pair of mandarin ducks in the distance, and said, "Mo'er, look , that's a mandarin duck!"

Princess An Ning tightly held the teacup in her hand. Her mother, Concubine Rong Guifei, died young, and she was raised and pampered by the queen since she was a child, which made her arrogant and self-righteous.

Ever since she was sensible, she has always lost her temper with the emperor and queen about her marriage with Su Ke.

It's just that the emperor is an emperor, and if he says what he says, he will naturally not regret it easily. In addition, in the past few years, the emperor has devoted himself to alchemy, and many important affairs in the court have been entrusted to the crown prince and the nine-thousand-year-old emperor Cangming. Di Cangming, his princes and princesses, often did not see the emperor for ten days and half a month. Regarding the matter of retiring the engagement, An Ning made a fuss several times without any result, so she no longer looked for the emperor.
