Resourceful beauty

Chapter 37
"In the palace today, did something special happen?"

When she came back from the palace, she asked a few questions about what happened in the palace during the day. Seeing that it was nothing important, Su Yuan waved her hand and signaled Fang Ruhua and the others to go down and rest.

Fang Ruyu didn't talk much after entering the palace, but her eyes were shining brightly, she didn't know what she thought of, her face was flushed, with a pink dress, she looked more and more charming.

Fang Ruhui on the side obviously knew something, and she snickered frequently, causing Fang Ruyu to stare at her angrily. The next moment, Fang Ruyu's cheeks turned redder.

"Come on, tell mom what happened."

Su Yuan beckoned her two daughters to come and sit beside her, and asked softly.

"Mother, do you know much about the affairs of Marquis Anyuan's mansion?"

Fang Ruyu didn't answer her mother's words, but asked about something else.

Knowing that it must be related to her problem, Su Yuan recalled it, and said slowly: "The Anyuanhou's Mansion is the mother's home of the empress, but the titles in their mansion only came decades ago. Anyuanhou's Mansion Song Zhongzheng, the old man of the Song Dynasty, is a cabinet scholar and served as the emperor's teacher for a period of time, so the former emperor and the current emperor respect him very much."

"Grandpa Song, as his name suggests, is the most loyal and upright. When it was heard about the late emperor, he risked his life to speak out against him. Everyone said that if the late emperor had been a foolish emperor, the Song family might have been cut off in the capital long ago. Later, Master Song, who is now the Marquis of Anyuan, led troops to guard southern Yunnan for more than ten years, and made great military achievements. After his return, the late emperor granted the title of Marquis of Anyuan."

As Su Yuan said, she looked at Fang Ruyu suspiciously and asked, "In the palace today, did you see Prince Anyuanhou?"

Su Yuan can probably guess what Fang Ruyu's actions are for her confidant daughter Mo Ruomu.

Nodding her head, Fang Ruyu lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "He also praised my handwriting."

"Mother, mother..."

Fang Ruhui on the side pulled her mother's arm excitedly, "Mother, the calligraphy that Song Shizi usually learns is also from Lay Wu Zhen. My sister can tell it at a glance."

"Really? How did you meet? Still writing together?"

Subconsciously feeling something was wrong, Su Yuan asked Fang Ruhui nervously.

Fang Ruhui made it clear, Su Yuan was relieved, and asked suspiciously: "Liu girl knows Song Shizi?"

Hearing this, Fang Ruyu nodded with a slightly sour heart, "Mother, let me see, that Prince Song treats her very differently."

"I don't think so, I just think Song Shizi looks at his sister differently..."

On the side, Fang Ruhui was partial to her sister and said unhappily.

People say that the authorities are obsessed with onlookers, and what my sister sees must be different from what she sees. Her words are more credible, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Ruyu's heart gradually became happy.

Su Yuan noticed, and paid more attention. After Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui left, she hurriedly called Zhao Nanny and asked her to inquire about the character and temperament of An Yuanhou Shizi.

When there was no one around, Su Yuan was immersed in her own thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

One is the son of Marquis Anyuan, and the other is Miss Qi Wangfu. On one side is the empress's mother's house, and on the other side is the emperor's uncle's house. Such a marriage is really well-matched.

When the prince comes back, you must tell him, or go to the palace to deal with the empress dowager, how can you ask Yu'er to be a princess before Yu'er gets married, so that her status will increase again , when the Anyuanhou Mansion married Yu'er, both sides added a bit of face.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan became even more anxious. When Mammy Zhao came back, she said that Song Qian was young and ambitious, and he was valued by Emperor Rui'an. Chess entertainment, Su Yuan's eyes almost flashed with light.

Such a candidate was almost tailor-made for her daughter.

"Go, pass the sign in the palace, I want to enter the palace to greet the queen mother and empress empress, and take a look at concubine Xian by the way."

Su Yuan said urgently.

Zhao Nanny nodded with a smile, and hurried out to give orders, and came back in a while, and said worriedly: "The eldest son of Anyuan Houfu is only 16 years old this year, the same age as the second lady, I don't know Anyuan Will the Hou Mansion care?"

"Let's not talk about the same age, there is a saying among the common people that female juniors hold gold bricks. Many wealthy families like to marry older ones, who are stable, generous, and sensible, and those who are younger than that age will love others."

Parents in the world always think that their children are the best, what's more, Fang Ruyu has an outstanding appearance, knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Su Yuan feels that her daughter is unique in heaven and earth, and her age is not a problem at all. , all of which can be ignored.

In the early morning of the second day, when Concubine Wu, Concubine Shen, and the ladies were paying their respects to Su Yuan in the Yixin Hall, a steward from the outer courtyard came in to announce that a father-in-law from the House of Internal Affairs had come.

Thinking that there was an answer to the sign she handed yesterday, Su Yuan hurriedly got up and took everyone to the front hall.

The person who came was a young eunuch from the House of Internal Affairs. Seeing a large group of people coming, the little eunuch bowed down and saluted, stood up and asked softly, "I don't know who is Miss Six?"

Su Yuan looked at Fang Ruxuan in surprise, Fang Ruxuan stepped out from the crowd, "I am."

"Miss Six Wanan..."

After seeing the ceremony, the little eunuch took the tray from the companion behind him and handed it to Fang Ruxuan, saying, "This is the jade card for entering and leaving the inner palace. It was rewarded by the emperor, and Miss Six will keep it. Whenever you enter the palace in the future, you can directly take the jade card." The card is there, no need to hand in the card in advance.”

In Fang Ruyu's and Fang Ruhui's envious and jealous eyes, Fang Ruxuan knelt down towards the palace to thank her, got up and took the tray and handed it to Lilac behind her, then looked at Su Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Yuan came to her senses and looked back at Qiu Tong. Qiu Tong stepped forward and handed a reward purse to the little eunuch.

"My father-in-law, is this the will of the Holy One?"

Su Yuan didn't understand what was so good about Fang Ruxuan that she could fall into Emperor Rui'an's eyes and give her such favor.

Except for Fang Ruxuan, the others didn't know the inside story. It was Xiao Luzi who ordered it in person at the House of Internal Affairs. The little eunuch nodded and said, "It was the Eunuch Lu who is next to the Holy Majesty who ordered it. There can be no mistake."

Such a large group of people came to receive the decree, but the sage rewarded Fang Ruxuan with a jade card that allowed her to freely enter the inner palace. Very nice.

Fang Ruyu behind her looked aggrieved, while Fang Ruhui was furious, as if the jade plaque was not rewarded by the sage, but Fang Ruxuan took it from them.

In the afternoon, there was an echo of Su Yuan handing the sign into the palace.

Early the next morning, Su Yuan and Fang Ruxuan entered the palace together in a carriage.

At the gate of the inner palace, the two parted ways, one headed for the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, and the other headed for the Sixteenth Princess' bedroom, Yanxi Palace.

The sixteenth princess was a little sleepy.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan coming, she complained listlessly: "Why did you come today?"

Fang Ruxuan laughed: "I just got the jade card yesterday. I got up early today to enter the palace. It's too late? Otherwise, please ask me to live in Yanxi Palace."

"Yeah, this method works..."

The sixteenth princess actually thought seriously, which made Fang Ruxuan laugh again.

"stop laughing?"

Staring wide-eyed, Princess Sixteen scolded angrily.

Instead, Princess Sixteen asked Fang Ruxuan, "Princess Qi entered the palace with you?"

Fang Ruxuan nodded, Princess Sixteen shrugged and said, "I know what she is here for, and I know the ending."

Obviously, Fang Ruxuan didn't know, she asked in surprise, "What is she here for?"

"Men chase women's interlayer mountain, and women chase men's interlayer gauze. Naturally, she came to inquire about Song Qian for Fang Ruyu."

Said softly, Princess Sixteen blinked at Fang Ruxuan, "However, she will be disappointed."

Su Yuan and Fang Ruyu fell in love with Song Qian?
Before recovering from what Princess Sixteen said, Fang Ruxuan blurted out, "Why?"

She seemed to think that Fang Ruxuan's question was stupid, Princess Sixteen looked at Fang Ruxuan in disgust, "If the woman is you, maybe this marriage is still possible, Fang Ruyu, absolutely not?"

This time, Fang Ruxuan didn't ask why.

Su Yuan is the step-concubine, even though Fang Ruyu is the daughter-in-law now, she is not a legitimate daughter-in-law. In front of Su Xin's memorial tablet, Su Yuan still has to behave like a concubine. Let me ask, how can a family like the Anyuan Marquis mansion Will he see a young lady like Fang Ruyu who is not a concubine?

After figuring out the key point, Fang Ruxuan said with a smile: "If the concubine persuades my father or the queen mother to make Fang Ruyu a princess, wouldn't that be possible?"

The sixteenth princess was stunned for a moment, and immediately, as if she didn't want such a possibility, she muttered angrily: "Song Qian is such an arrogant person, even if he means marriage, I guess he won't nod." When the time comes, the capital will be full of excitement again."

Song Qian was two years older than the Sixteenth Princess, but the Sixteenth Princess called him by his first name, which showed that the two had a feud. Fang Ruxuan snickered in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask, so she changed the subject and asked her, "I'm entering the palace. Come to accompany you, you didn't tell me about Fang Ruyu, did you?"

Hearing this, Princess Sixteen's complexion darkened, and she lay faceless on the table and wailed, "Ruxuan, what should I do? I really hate myself like this."

"Then what do you want yourself to be?"

Fang Ruxuan asked if she didn't understand her words.

Princess Sixteen raised her head, looked at Fang Ruxuan with sparkling eyes, and hesitated to speak.

After a while, she sat up and said to the servant girl behind her, "You all go down."

The servants in the inner hall retreated completely, and Princess Sixteen asked Fang Ruxuan in a low voice, "Do you know the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun?"

"Feng Qiuhuang?"

Fang Ruxuan looked suspiciously at the sixteenth princess who was facing her with shining eyes.

The little chicken nodded like pecking rice, and Princess Sixteen said with a dejected face, "It would be great if I wasn't a princess, but how good would it be if I was just a young lady from an ordinary family?"

Eyes full of longing, Princess Sixteen said excitedly: "At that time, I will rush up and tell him: I like you, what about you? Do you like me? Will you marry me?"

Looking back at Fang Ruxuan, Princess Sixteen said solemnly: "Even if he says he doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me, I will admit it, at least I have fought for it."

But now, I'm a princess, and I want to be virtuous, gentle and generous, so I can't do such shocking things.

Fang Ruxuan understood what the Sixteenth Princess said.

"What's wrong? Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know he knows, as a person, he will definitely not publicize this matter everywhere, why not?"

Fang Ruxuan's words made Princess Sixteen sit up straight.

"Is it really possible? Ruxuan, is it really possible?"

Princess Sixteen asked eagerly.

Fang Ruxuan bent her mouth and nodded with a smile.
