Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Yun Chu puts on her makeup and prepares to go out.
The maid she brought was still Bai Tan.
The reason why I brought Bai Tan back to the Su family last time was because the Su family paid attention to etiquette and could not make any mistakes.
Bringing her again this time, etiquette is only one reason, the most important thing is that Yun Chuwei was worried that Su Li would recognize Meizi when he saw Meizi.
According to the usual practice, every time such a large-scale banquet goes out, one has to go to Qinfang Garden to meet the old lady.
Today is no exception.
Yun Chuwei had long been used to Old Madam Yun's meanness, so she bowed her head and listened to the lecture for a long time, her left ear went in and her right ear went out, and she pretended to be very useful, but in fact, her thoughts had long since drifted away.
Fan really couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. How could the old lady spare her by interjecting a sentence or two occasionally?Simply train both mother and daughter.
After training for a stick of incense back and forth, I was finally able to go out.
Fan helped the old lady to sit in the first carriage.
Just as Yun Chuwei was about to get into the carriage, she heard Yun Xueyao's voice, "Third Sister, why don't we ride in one?"
Yun Jingshu raised her eyes, showing no emotion on her face, she smiled politely, "Fourth sister, please."
Yun Chuwei was amused in her heart, Yun Xueyao was so swollen these days that she couldn't find her way, yet she still wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Yun Jingshu.
In my impression, Yun Xueyao is not stupid, but her behavior in the past two days really makes people look a little demented. I think there is some truth to that sentence: a woman in love has a zero IQ.
After a while, she will definitely bump into the sharp point.
Facts have proved that Yun Chuwei's speculation is correct. Yun Xueyao just got into the carriage, and she looked at Yun Jingshu with an excited smile, "Third sister has been staying in the small Buddha hall for half a month. What's going on?"
Yun Jingshu smiled back, "Of course."
"What is it?" Yun Xueyao asked.
"A humble person is invincible." Yun Jingshu's tone was unhurried, like a homely chatter.
Yun Xueyao suddenly darkened, "What do you mean!"
Yun Jingshu said: "There is a saying called 'the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart'. I said that the truth I realized was that 'the most humble man is invincible', but the fourth sister suddenly reacted so strongly. Could it be that you learned from that sentence? What did you hear?"
This is a disguised form to say that Yun Xueyao took the right seat.
Clenching fingers tightly, Yun Xueyao's voice was full of hatred, "Third Sister can just talk about it if she has any grievances, why bother to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, after all, she also grew up on a well water, do you really think everyone else is an idiot except you?"
Yun Jingshu rolled her eyes coldly, "I know what you have done, so why do you need others to point it out to you?"
"You!" Yun Xueyao gritted her teeth, and laughed angrily after a while, "What did I think was the matter, didn't it mean that His Royal Highness wrote me a letter asking me to go to Qiwan Lane to meet him? Not once again Twice, didn't the Third Highness tell my sister about the two of us before?"
It turns out that this pair of dogs and men have long been working together!
Yun Jingshu suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "The third highness told me that he would marry me as a prince and concubine in eight palanquins. In order to stabilize his power, he would take a concubine in the future. I never asked, I just found out today that the concubine that the Third Highness is talking about is you, the fourth sister? It seems that you are really right. We are two sisters who grew up eating water from a well. After we get married, we also eat It’s still a family meal, what a coincidence!”
Yun Jingshu deliberately bit the word "concubine" very hard, and Yun Xueyao couldn't bear it anymore, "Yun Jingshu, keep your mouth clean! You are like a bodhisattva crossing the river and you can't protect yourself. Who is the concubine?"
"Did the Third Highness never mention it to you, Fourth Sister?" Yun Jingshu smiled and returned Yun Xueyao's previous words intact, "He is the prince with the highest voice for the crown prince, his Concubine, even if it wasn't me, she would be the daughter of another prominent family. For example, your cousin Huang Miaoqing is Huang Shoufu's direct granddaughter, but you are just the daughter of Huang Shoufu's concubine's daughter. If I were the third highness, I would definitely choose the granddaughter of the chief assistant's direct relative, as for you, the fourth younger sister, it would be nice to live in a side room."
Yun Xueyao couldn't hold back anymore, she was trembling with anger, "Yun Jingshu, you really want to tear your face apart with me, don't you?"
Yun Jingshu didn't take it seriously, "I'm sorry, where is your shame, fourth sister? Even if I want to tear it up, I have to find it before I can do it, right?"
Yun Xueyao's face was stagnant, she hated to the extreme, her nails dug deeply into her palm.
The power of her grandfather's family has always been her proud capital, but today Yun Jingshu compares her with Huang Miaoqing.
Huang Miaoqing is the second wife of the Huang family, and also the granddaughter of the chief assistant's direct relative. With such an identity, she is more than a little bit noble.
Compared to her, Yun Xueyao is no different from a concubine.
Facing Yun Xueyao's sinister eyes, Yun Jingshu became more calm, "I'm going to the palace soon, if my fourth sister doesn't want people to see your blue face and fangs, then you should restrain yourself, so as not to make people laugh for a while. "
No matter how unwilling Yun Xueyao is, she can't destroy her image in front of others, especially since she is bound to win the third prince, she attaches more importance to the word "image".
The carriage must stop outside the gate of the imperial city.
Yun Chu raised the curtain slightly and saw Yun Jingshu and Yun Xueyao walking one after the other, Yun Jingshu's expression was normal, no matter how well Yun Xueyao concealed it, she couldn't completely cover up the hatred in her eyes.
Yun Chuwei slightly hooked his lips, and the two of them really started arguing in the carriage.
Obviously, Yun Jingshu won completely.
Yun Chuwei had expected a long time ago that a person like Yun Jingshu who could hold her breath would only make the other party suffer a crushing defeat if she faced Yun Xueyao's violent temper.
And Yun Jingshu herself will definitely end up smiling.
It seems that Yun Jingshu's 15 years of idleness in the Hou's mansion are not for nothing. Her means may not be the best, but her scheming is deep enough and she is calm enough when things happen.
It's more than enough to deal with someone like Yun Xueyao who doesn't have enough brains.
For someone like Yun Jingshu, even if she marries into the Su family, she might not be overwhelmed by the gloom of the back house, at least she still has the means to struggle a few times, but Yun Xueyao can't do it, her rank is too low, and she is doomed to fail miserably.
Shaking back his thoughts, Yun Chuwei quickened his pace and walked forward, while Fan Shi waited in front with the old lady on his arm.
Qiu Xia, who was following Yun Chuwei, also quickened her pace, bumped into Yun Chuwei and walked over, snorting coldly.
Yun Chuwei just pretended that he didn't see her, and continued on his own way.
That day at Su's house, Qiu Xia came forward to help Yun Chuwei once. She thought that after this incident, Yun Chuwei should at least thank herself, or form an alliance with her to deal with the hypocrisy of the Houfu.
But Qiu Xia never expected that it was fine for Yun Chuwei not to thank her, and even contradicted her grandmother, Mrs. Yun.
The old lady has been very irritable these days, and she gets angry when there is something she doesn't like. The maids and women in Qinfang Garden have been scolded a lot these days, and they complained and complained in private.
The old lady's great favor is the foundation of Qiu Xia's foothold in the Hou Mansion. It can be said that the attitude of the old lady determines whether Qiu Xia can marry a good family and live a good life in the rest of her life.
Qiu Xia naturally had to please the old lady as if she were an old Buddha.
Now that Yun Chuwei has offended Lafayette again and again, how could Qiu Xia care about her?
Looking at the back figure that was walking farther and farther ahead, Yun Chu smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Girl, Cousin, she's gone too far." Bai Tan was a protector, seeing Qiu Xia walking past Yun Chuwei like that, he was a little annoyed.
"It's okay." Yun Chuwei stretched out his hand to smooth the lapel that Qiu Xia had bumped into, "I have a rule, and I will never do it again. This time, she came forward to help me say a few words at the Su family banquet last time." Don't haggle with her for the sake of words, if there is a next time, it will not be so easy to be kind."
Bai Tan could clearly hear the bone-chilling chill in Yun Chuwei's tone, and his body shivered a few times involuntarily.
From the day she entered Xiangzhang Pavilion to serve, she discovered that her master seemed approachable, but once she got angry, none of them, the maids, dared to get close.
But fortunately, Miss Wei never gets angry easily, let alone put on airs in front of the maid, so the whole Xiangzhang Pavilion is safe and sound.
"Madam." Having already walked up to Fan's, Yun Chuwei symbolically blessed her body.
Fan smiled and nodded.
The old lady's eyes fell on Yun Xueyao, "Si girl, why do you look so ugly, are you sick?"
Yun Xueyao's cold eyes swept across Yun Jingshu's body without a trace, and she shook her head, "I probably got up early today, and I was a little stuffy in the carriage, so my head was dizzy, don't worry, grandma, I'm fine, I'll be fine later Just walk away."
"That's good." The old lady was relieved, "Today's banquet is unusual, no matter who you are, you must give me [-] points of energy. I will serve you according to the family law!"
Without thinking about it, these words were a warning to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei only listened to it as a joke, but didn't take it to heart.
When Qiu Xia intimately supported the old lady to walk in, Yun Chuwei called Fan Shi aside and asked, "Can I wear a veil to attend the palace banquet?"
"This..." Fan was a little embarrassed, "The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet will inevitably have to drink soon. If you wear a veil, it may be very inconvenient, but you will have to take it off in the end."
Yun Chu frowned slightly.
If you can't wear a veil, it will be bad if Su Li sees it later.
The queen mother's birthday banquet is not a good time for Su Li to see her true face.
Yun Chuwei changed his mind and thought of a way.
It seems that if you want to avoid Su Li, you can only avoid the banquet first.
Yun Chuwei slowed down, and when the old lady and the others were gone, they stood by the lotus pond. Seeing that there was no one around, Yun Chuwei ordered Bai Tan, "I don't want to participate in today's palace banquet. If you jump here, you just let go of your voice and shout for help, understand?"
Bai Tan was so frightened that his face turned pale, "Girl, you must not, the water in the lotus pond is cold in the morning, if you just jump like this, you will get sick."
"Don't worry, I'm not that expensive." Yun Chu winked at her slightly, "As long as you shout for help hard enough, I believe it won't be long before someone will come to save me."
Bai Tan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yun Chuwei, "Stop rambling, otherwise I won't bring you to any future banquets."
Bai Tan resentfully closed his mouth.
Yun Chuwei stepped on the edge of the lotus pond, closed his eyes and opened his arms, ready to jump down.
When her body was empty, she felt that instead of rushing forward, she felt her arm was grabbed by someone. After a moment, her back fell into an extremely warm embrace, and a familiar scent of Zhilan Qinggui came into her nose.
Yun Chuwei opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head, and was facing a pair of slender eyes, long and beautiful, clear and bright, reflecting her pure and beautiful face.
Yun Chuwei was in a very manic mood at this time, staring at the other person's eyes as if about to breathe fire, "What are you doing here?"
The one who hugged her was none other than Xuan Guogong Su Yan.
Yun Chuwei was extremely annoyed.
The first time she wanted to go into the water to pick up a mask, he dived directly into the lake and dragged her out.
This time, when she was about to jump into the lake, he just happened to pass by and dragged her back again.
Can this person appear at the point where it should appear every time?
"If you want to die for love, you don't have to come to the palace, do you?" Su Yan smiled slightly, raised her sword eyebrows lightly, and when she spoke, there was a warm breath spraying on her slender porcelain white swan neck, and the numbness spread all over her limbs Bai Hai, Yun Chu shivered slightly, and lowered his head to see his hands holding her tightly around her waist.
Bai Tan was so startled by this scene that he couldn't even speak, he just stood aside blankly and forgot to react.
"Let me go!" Yun Chuwei kept struggling in his arms.
Meeting him, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes. She didn't do anything wrong in her previous life, so why have she been entangled with this man again and again in this life?
"You can let go." Su Yan's warm voice came from the base of his ears, "Tell me first, why don't you think about jumping into the lake?"
Yun Chu gritted his teeth slightly, and said directly without thinking, "Meeting you is a misfortune, so I choose to reincarnate!"
"Oh? Really?" Su Yan blinked, "In this case, then... let me dance with you!"
Yun Chu was slightly taken aback.
He said slowly: "I also want to meet you again."
Meet you big headed ghost!
Taking advantage of Su Yan's unpreparedness, Yun Chuwei broke free from him, turned around and kicked him hard.
Su Yan might as well, tilt his body forward, and he was about to fall into the lake, but he moved quickly, and after hooking the corner of his mouth, he reached out and grabbed Yun Chuwei's arm with force.
There was a loud "bang", and the two fell into the lotus pond at the same time, causing countless splashes.
Bai Tan finally came to his senses, let go of his voice and shouted, "Help - my girl fell into the water -"
"Stop yelling!" Yun Chu kicked Su Yan away with great effort and suddenly broke through the water, swam to the shore, and gave Bai Tan a look, "Do you want to call everyone to see me and Su Hooligan fall into the water at the same time?"
Su... Su hooligan?
Bai Tan opened his mouth wide in shock, not daring to speak anymore.
It's really bad luck, every time I meet this man, nothing good will happen.
Yun Chuwei was very angry, but he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.
Because that person has not surfaced since he fell into the water.
"Hey!" Yun Chuwei said angrily, "Do you have any new tricks? It's so boring to use this trick every time!"
"Girl, are you cold?" Bai Tan panicked, ran over in a hurry, and dragged Yun Chuwei up with great effort.
It was early morning, Yun Chuwei was drenched all over again, and with the wind blowing, he was naturally shivering with cold.
Bai Tan hurriedly took off his outer shirt and wrapped it around Yun Chuwei.
After finally getting some warmth, Yun Chuwei stood on the shore again, only then did he see Su Yan poking his head slowly.
The worry in her heart dissipated immediately, she gathered the thin coat on her body, and told Bai Tan, "Go to the old lady, just tell me that I fell into the water and got cold, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
Bai Tan was a little worried, "What if the old lady insists on asking a doctor to see the girl?"
At this time, Su Yan had already landed on the shore, drenched all over, and before he had time to tidy up, he heard the conversation between Yun Chuwei's master and servant, and he raised his lips, "If the girl doesn't mind, I'm the doctor."
Yun Chu stared at him slightly, "I thank Lord Jiu for his great kindness, there is a road here, please go slowly."
If Su Yan didn't leave, Bai Tan didn't dare to inform the old lady, for fear of being seen by others.
Su Yan stood still, "Young lady is just a weak woman. If you accidentally fell into the water, how can you climb up by yourself if no one saves you?"
Yun Chuwei immediately frowned.
He said it as if that was the case, but why him!
Shaking his head annoyedly, Yun Chuwei ordered Bai Tan, "Forget it, just tell the truth in front of the old lady, I accidentally fell into the lotus pond, fortunately Master Jiu came to save me, although my life was not harmed, but after all I was caught cold I can't wait for the palace banquet."
Bai Tan got the order and ran towards the banquet.
Yun Chuwei sat down on the stone bench beside him.
Su Yan walked towards her and asked warmly, "Is it cold?"
"What do you think?" Yun Chuwei asked back angrily. Jumping into the lake was indeed her ultimate goal, but she never thought about jumping with him.
Su Yan recalled what Yun Chuwei told Bai Tan just now, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Did you jump into the lake to pretend to be sick to avoid the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
"Isn't it, what does it have to do with you?" Yun Chuwei turned away, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Su Yan said: "If I had known your purpose earlier, I wouldn't have dragged you into the water."
Yun Chu snorted slightly, "It's only after the incident is over, do you think I'll be grateful to you?"
"But if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be 'ill' today." His tone was leisurely as if he was discussing the weather.
Yun Chu was slightly annoyed, "I've never seen such a brazen person as Master Jiu."
He wasn't humble, "Thank you."
Yun Chu calmed down slightly, "What exactly do you want?"
Su Yan looked at her and said, "Your physique is stronger than the average person's. Besides, you are well versed in water, so falling into the water just now has no effect on you at all. With your status, maybe the queen will know that you fell into the water in a short while. I will also specially ask the imperial physician to come over to see, and it is the imperial physician's turn, but there is really nothing wrong with it. At most, the queen will let you be taken down to change clothes. Today, you still have to continue to participate in the palace banquet."
Yun Chu bit her lip slightly, although she was very reluctant, but at this point, she had no other choice but to ask him for help, "Do you really have a solution?"
"I said before that I am a doctor." Su Yan said: "These masters in the palace, especially the emperor, may not believe everything the imperial physician says, but they will definitely not disbelieve my broken pulse."
So this guy is a miracle doctor?
Yun Chuwei wondered, why had she never heard of it?
"However." His thin lips parted slightly, and he changed the topic, "It's okay if you want me to lie for you, but you can answer me a question first."
Yun Chuwei's face was full of displeasure, "Don't you doctors all aim to save lives and heal the wounded? How can you threaten your own patients like this?"
Su Yan smiled, "If you are really a patient, I won't raise any conditions."
Yun Chuwei choked suddenly.
"Why don't you want to attend today's palace banquet?" Su Yan asked.
"It's not like you don't know that I'm from the countryside, and I get nervous when encountering big scenes, so in order not to embarrass the Yun family, I can only do this." Yun Chuwei said with a calm expression and a serious face.
"That's not good." Su Yan laughed, "If you don't tell the truth to the doctor, the doctor can't show you the root cause of the disease."
Yun Chuwei caught a glimpse of Bai Tan leading Fan's here not far away, she was anxious, and said honestly: "I don't want to see Su Li, let alone let him see my true face."
Su Yan nodded with an expression of "so that's the case", "Okay, now you lie on the stone table and stretch out your wrist."
Yun Chuwei immediately got down on the ground and handed his wrist to Su Yan, looking as if he was about to die of illness.
Su Yan glanced at her. This cunning little fox was alive and kicking a second before bargaining with him. In just a blink of an eye, she would become a sick person immediately. If he hadn't been able to tell from her veins that she was not It's okay, I'm afraid I'll be fooled by her appearance.
This acting skill is superb and skilled enough!
Fan looked around before, but she didn't see Yun Chuwei, and was about to send someone to look for her along the way when she came, when she saw Bai Tan rushing to her side, throwing Yun Chuwei into the water by accident. The general process of being rescued by Su Yan was described.
Fan's expression changed with fright, and he immediately went to greet the queen himself and left to see his daughter.
The empress originally planned to let the imperial physician follow, but Emperor Yonglong said: "Su Yan's medical skills are superb, with him here, there is no need to invite the imperial physician."
So Bai Tan rushed here with only Fan Shi.
Seeing Yun Chuwei lying on the stone table with a pale face, Fan gasped, "Sister Wei, sister Wei, how are you doing?"
While talking, he pressed Tie Yun Chuwei's forehead with the back of his hand. It was not hot, but it was very cold.
"Today's matter, thank you Jiu Ye for saving me."
Seeing that Su Yan was checking Yun Chuwei's pulse, Fan had no choice but to say a few polite words, and asked, "How is Miss Wei?"
"Caught cold." Su Yan said calmly, "It's best to take it home to rest well, and cook a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold and drink it, otherwise you will be seriously ill if you are exposed to the cold wind outside."
Fan nodded again and again, "Thank you Jiu Ye."
After finishing speaking, let Bai Tan help Yun Chuwei up.
Her clothes were soaked through, and she couldn't go out to meet people in this state.
Fan shi was in a hurry, they came to attend the palace banquet, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so they didn't have any spare clothes.
At this moment, a clear and sweet voice came from not far away, "Miss Wei's clothes are all soaked through, she should follow my maid to change into clean ones, otherwise she won't be able to leave the palace soon."
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw a person standing not far away wearing a beige palace attire, with a friendly and gentle smile on his delicate face.
This person is the fifth princess Helian Shuang.
Fan hastily saluted, thank you very much.
He Lian Shuang came over, glanced at Yun Chuwei, and sighed: "Poor thing, I'm not in good health, and I'm afraid I'll have to rest for a while after falling into the water again."
Although she was in the deep palace, she had heard some rumors about Yun Chuwei being ill and being sent to the countryside to be raised.
Yun Chuwei followed Helian Shuang's maid to her palace to change clothes.
After thanking her again, Fan also followed Bai Tan with her.
He Lian Shuang stood still in front of Su Yan, seeing that he was wet from head to toe, he couldn't help frowning, "I'll let the maid take Master Jiu to change clothes."
Su Yan said: "No need, I'll send someone back to pick it up right away."
He is not used to wearing other people's clothes, even if they are brand new.
He Lian Shuang knew that his obsession with cleanliness was serious, so he didn't force it, "Your guard is outside the palace, I'll ask the servant girl to inform, before getting the clothes, I'm afraid Jiuye will have to wait here for a while."
According to the regulations, when ministers and ministers enter the palace, they are not allowed to bring guards, they must wait outside the palace gate, so Xiao Ji is not by Su Yan's side.
"It's okay."
Except in front of Yun Chuwei, Su Yan gave the world the impression that he was aloof and unapproachable, and he liked to speak concisely and neatly, never sloppy.
He Lianshuang immediately ordered his other maid to go out of the palace to inform Su Yan's guards.
Feeling a bit awkward in the atmosphere, He Lian Shuang had no choice but to find a topic to relieve, "Master Jiu won a great victory in the Northwest War this time, and added a lot of color to the history of Nanliang's war. As the princess of Nanliang, Helian A member of the family, on behalf of the people of Nanliang, thank Lord Jiu."
Su Yan's expression was indifferent, "The fifth princess is too much, and it is the duty of the minister to protect the family and the country."
For him, winning a battle is certain, the difference lies in which battle is won more beautifully.
He Lian smiled: "I heard that on the day you returned triumphantly, my father intended to make you a king with a different surname, but you refused on the spot. As always, you asked for a lot of gold and silver. At that time, you were not like Mr. Jiu So humble now!"
Su Yan loves money, this is something that the entire court in Nanliang knows. He is the only prince of the country in Nanliang, but he still has a lot of military exploits. Su Yan declined every time. He never said modestly such polite words as "it is right to win a battle, there is no need for rewards". He always asked for gold and silver.
Emperor Yonglong liked such an upright money-greedy temperament, so without saying a word, he was rewarded with a large plate of gold and silver.
The courtiers didn't have any opinion on this, and no one would be jealous because of this. After all, they don't even want noble princes with different surnames. Isn't it just gold and silver and three jars of wine?What's the big deal?
Besides, who would argue with a money-grubbing ghost?
To Su Yan, the king is certainly noble, but the higher the title, the heavier the responsibility, and the greater the possibility of being feared in the future. In addition, he likes freedom, so he is determined not to have the king.
As for gold and silver, he is indeed greedy for money.
His unmarried daughter-in-law is greedy for money, if he is not greedy, what will he marry her with in the future?
-
Yun Chuwei, who was missed by the innocent, was changing clothes in the bedroom of the fifth princess. She suddenly sneezed loudly on her back, and Fan Shi was so frightened that she thought she had caught a cold. Rest.
-
Xiao Ji went back to the mansion as quickly as possible and took a set of clean clothes for He Lianshuang's servants to send to the palace.
Seeing the little maid coming with a tray of robes, He Lian quickly ordered, "Take Master Jiu directly to my Second Emperor's bedroom to change."
The fifth princess, He Lian Shuang, and the second prince, He Lianjin, are siblings of the same mother, born of the empress.
He Lian Jin'er often went to the military camp for training and became friends with Su Yan, and that's why He Lian Shuang got to know Su Yan.
"My minister thanked the princess." Su Yan was polite, and followed the little maid to He Lianjin's bedroom.
He Lianshuang didn't stay any longer, and went directly to the Imperial Garden.
Everyone at the banquet was in high spirits, and the singing and dancing were very lively.
The queen waved to He Lian and asked her, "Why have you been here for so long?"
He Lian Shuang didn't hide anything, and told the truth, "Master Jiu saved Miss Wei, and my son arranged a place for them to change clothes!"
The queen looked at Helian Shuang thoughtfully.
Helian's heartbeat quickened, "Why is my mother looking at me like this?"
The queen smiled lightly, "I want to see when this little girl crawling out of my stomach will be able to tell her mother what she has been hiding for many years."
Helian's face became hot, and she pouted, "Mother, you're making fun of me again."
The queen glanced at her, and her face suddenly became serious, "Your father is against the marriage of the princess and the powerful officials, so you should give up your heart. The ninth master of the Su family is not your beloved."
"My son knows that he has no intentions for me." Helian Shuang said: "So I don't plan to say it, it's so good as it is now, because of the relationship between the second emperor brother, I can talk to him like friends You are laughing, if I express my thoughts and be rejected by him, that would be embarrassing! I won’t even be friends in the future.”
The queen was very surprised, "I didn't expect the little girl to be so broad-minded."
He Lian curled his lips, "I didn't approach him purely for love, but I just felt that it would take a lot of hard work for a bastard from a humble background to climb to where he is today, step by step. Perseverance, he showed the iron bones of a man so perfectly, although my son is only a woman, but I feel the blood in my chest is surging, I can't help but be impressed by it, I can make such friends, my son will have no regrets in this life."
The queen patted her head, "Although you are young, you can draw your feelings so clearly. The queen mother is very happy."
"Okay!" Helian Shuang blushed a little, "Imperial Grandmother is celebrating her birthday, I haven't given her a gift yet, so I'll go now."
"Well, let's go!"
-
Destiny at the table.
Mrs. Yun looked at Fan with a sullen face, "It's the turn of the daughters of various governments to perform their talents soon, but Miss Wei suddenly fell into the water at this time. Was it accidental or intentional?"
Fan said: "Look at what mother said, who would be idle and accidentally dive into the water and wait for someone to rescue him? If you are not careful, it will kill people."
The old lady's complexion still hasn't improved, "I thought that after so long, she could learn to behave better, but in the end, she is still a troublemaker. It's thanks to the empress dowager that she didn't care about us, otherwise it would be up to her Adding bad luck to the banquet is enough to be sentenced to beheaded."
Fan Shi pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but felt a little annoyed in her heart.
The old lady Yun still couldn't calm down, and babbled, "I told you not to bring her here, you must listen, and next time whoever makes a good idea to bring her to a crowded place to embarrass her face, don't blame me. Talk about affection!"
-
Male guests.
Su Li didn't have the heart to watch the same performances by the daughters of gold at all. He drank alone and saw Su Yan coming back with a change of clothes. He immediately cheered up, "Uncle Nine, I heard that that idiot... I heard that Yun Chuwei fell into the water, you saved him?"
"En." Su Yan sat upright, with no extra expression on his face, and his tone was extremely light.
"Tsk, what kind of shit luck did she have to meet Uncle Jiu by chance?" Su Li said angrily, "If this kind of thing makes me bump into..."
"Are you going to die?" Su Yan asked back.
"Save, definitely save." Su Li felt a little guilty after being stared at by Su Yan, and laughed dryly twice.
Of course he would save her, but before saving, he had to let that woman wash her brain with more bubbles in the water, lest she just come out and embarrass herself when she has nothing to do all day long.
Even he, an outsider, was ashamed for her.
"She's not your fiancee now, what do you care so much about?"
Another question that is neither salty nor light.
Although Su Yan didn't look at Su Li, Su Li felt a chill down her back, and her guilt became even worse.
He had to admit in his heart that Uncle Jiu's aura was a height that he would never be able to reach, and just a casual look with a very lethal look could defeat him.
Su Li doesn't care about that idiot who will never be successful, but just wants to see how stupid she can be.
"What I care about is not Yun Chuwei, but Uncle Jiu." He immediately replied wittily, "Uncle Jiu took the risk of jumping into the lake to save people. If he catches a cold, wouldn't it be a loss? Uncle Jiu takes care of everything, and he has to take care of Jingyao himself." Ma'am, if you fall ill, who will take care of her?"
Su Yan's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak.
Every time Mrs. Jingyao was mentioned, he would think of the dirty and shameful things that Mrs. Feng did to his mother in those years.
The two older brothers, the eldest, Su Ping, and the fourth, Su Yang, had often bullied him when they were young.
However, after Su Yang married Princess Linglong, she overwhelmed her in everything and restrained herself a lot, so Su Yan didn't touch him for the time being.
Elder Master Su Ping was not so lucky. Taking advantage of the spring hunting three years ago, Su Yan hid in the forest and drew a full bow. An arrow shot him in the heart and killed him instantly.
It is normal for arrows to accidentally injure people on the hunting ground, so Emperor Yonglong did not order a thorough investigation of Su Ping's death.
Su Yan wasn't worried, because even if someone did investigate, he would have left a way out for himself, and he would definitely not be found.
Killing Su Ping was to avenge Su Ping for destroying his military book and making the boy pee on the military book he spent most of his savings on.
It can be regarded as a warning to Feng Shi.
However, the death of the eldest son didn't seem to have brought much shock to Feng Shi. After a period of grief, he came out. He still liked to use tricks secretly and fought happily.
Mrs. Su is over sixty years old and still deaf. At this age, no matter how beautiful Madam Jingyao is, he will not be able to favor her.
Nowadays, the fight between the concubine and the old lady in the Su Mansion is nothing more than the family property that will be divided in the near future, but Mrs. Feng will not let Mrs. Jingyao off, and let people secretly use Mrs. Jingyao's medicinal materials. Hands and feet, this completely touched Su Yan's bottom line.
At the beginning, Su Yan intended to bring Mrs. Jingyao to Xuan Guogong's mansion to spend her old age peacefully, on the condition that he didn't want any of the Su family's property.
But at that time, the old lady bit it off, there was no way.
Su Yan couldn't figure out Feng's intentions at that time, until the old lady Su suddenly changed her attitude towards Mrs. Jingyao recently, and treated him even more pleasantly, just like her own eldest son, Su Yan finally came to her senses.
This old woman Feng's calculations are loud enough. She calculated that these masters of the Su family are all civil servants. Except for Su Li's biological father Su Yang who climbed to the high position of Minister of War because of Princess Linglong, the other concubines who became families There is not much hope for the future of the master.
Therefore, Feng's idea was on Su Yan's head.
According to Su Yan's guess, after the Su family's family is completely separated, Mrs. Su may ask him to be adopted under her name.
In big families, it is very common for the concubine to adopt the aunt's name.
The purpose of the old lady Su is to ask Su Yan, a powerful Duke, to support her aunt for the rest of her life. In this way, her title as Mrs. Tai will be inlaid with another layer of gold.
Thinking of this, Su Yan's mouth curled up with a sinister coldness.
Do you want him to worship her for the rest of his life?Don't dream too early!
"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine?"
Su Li was still calling in his ear.
Su Yan woke up.
"What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded." Su Li said, "Could it be that you're really sick?"
"I'm fine." Su Yan shook his head and continued to drink.
Su Li lowered her voice, "The last time I begged Uncle Jiu, do you have a clue?"
Su Yan looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Su Li said: "I just want to ask Uncle Jiu to say a few words in front of the emperor, to see if he can take back the imperial decree letting me marry a girl from the Yun family, or if it can be changed, there are quite a few young masters in our family who haven't married yet. Can't let them replace me?"
Su Yan narrowed his eyes, "Are you going to marry Miss Yunxiao as your wife?"
"Yeah." Su Li's eyes were sincere, and then she said dejectedly: "Since Zijin's death, I haven't been so attracted to anyone for a long time. It's not easy to meet someone who is somewhat similar to Zijin. I don't want to just be like this." Miss, although Xiaoxiao is a businessman, but she has an arrogant personality, she will definitely not agree to let her be a small child, I have thought a lot these days, so I made up my mind to call off the marriage of the Yun family and marry Xiaoxiao to pass the door."
Su Yan gently stroked the white jade cup with his fingertips, "She knows you are going to marry her?"
"This, I haven't said yet." Su Li scratched her head, "But as long as Uncle Jiu promises me to finish this matter, I will find an opportunity to tell her in person, and I don't want to delay this matter any longer. , the more time passes, the less sure I am.”
Seeing that Su Yan didn't respond, Su Li became more and more anxious, "Uncle Jiu, is there any embarrassment in this matter? If you don't want to speak up, then I'll go directly to my great-grandmother. She must be the master."
Su Yan disagreed, "The empress dowager and the emperor have not dealt with each other for many years because of the empress's relationship. You know this. If you personally ask the empress dowager to order the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree, you are slapping the emperor in the face. The consequences are not what you can do." Affordable."
Su Li's face changed, "Then I don't want to go, but Uncle Jiu, you must help me."
"Well, I will find a chance to speak to the emperor."
Su Yan took a sip of wine, and an imperceptible cold light flashed across his eyes.
(End of this chapter)
Yun Chu puts on her makeup and prepares to go out.
The maid she brought was still Bai Tan.
The reason why I brought Bai Tan back to the Su family last time was because the Su family paid attention to etiquette and could not make any mistakes.
Bringing her again this time, etiquette is only one reason, the most important thing is that Yun Chuwei was worried that Su Li would recognize Meizi when he saw Meizi.
According to the usual practice, every time such a large-scale banquet goes out, one has to go to Qinfang Garden to meet the old lady.
Today is no exception.
Yun Chuwei had long been used to Old Madam Yun's meanness, so she bowed her head and listened to the lecture for a long time, her left ear went in and her right ear went out, and she pretended to be very useful, but in fact, her thoughts had long since drifted away.
Fan really couldn't bear to listen to it anymore. How could the old lady spare her by interjecting a sentence or two occasionally?Simply train both mother and daughter.
After training for a stick of incense back and forth, I was finally able to go out.
Fan helped the old lady to sit in the first carriage.
Just as Yun Chuwei was about to get into the carriage, she heard Yun Xueyao's voice, "Third Sister, why don't we ride in one?"
Yun Jingshu raised her eyes, showing no emotion on her face, she smiled politely, "Fourth sister, please."
Yun Chuwei was amused in her heart, Yun Xueyao was so swollen these days that she couldn't find her way, yet she still wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Yun Jingshu.
In my impression, Yun Xueyao is not stupid, but her behavior in the past two days really makes people look a little demented. I think there is some truth to that sentence: a woman in love has a zero IQ.
After a while, she will definitely bump into the sharp point.
Facts have proved that Yun Chuwei's speculation is correct. Yun Xueyao just got into the carriage, and she looked at Yun Jingshu with an excited smile, "Third sister has been staying in the small Buddha hall for half a month. What's going on?"
Yun Jingshu smiled back, "Of course."
"What is it?" Yun Xueyao asked.
"A humble person is invincible." Yun Jingshu's tone was unhurried, like a homely chatter.
Yun Xueyao suddenly darkened, "What do you mean!"
Yun Jingshu said: "There is a saying called 'the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart'. I said that the truth I realized was that 'the most humble man is invincible', but the fourth sister suddenly reacted so strongly. Could it be that you learned from that sentence? What did you hear?"
This is a disguised form to say that Yun Xueyao took the right seat.
Clenching fingers tightly, Yun Xueyao's voice was full of hatred, "Third Sister can just talk about it if she has any grievances, why bother to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, after all, she also grew up on a well water, do you really think everyone else is an idiot except you?"
Yun Jingshu rolled her eyes coldly, "I know what you have done, so why do you need others to point it out to you?"
"You!" Yun Xueyao gritted her teeth, and laughed angrily after a while, "What did I think was the matter, didn't it mean that His Royal Highness wrote me a letter asking me to go to Qiwan Lane to meet him? Not once again Twice, didn't the Third Highness tell my sister about the two of us before?"
It turns out that this pair of dogs and men have long been working together!
Yun Jingshu suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with a smile: "The third highness told me that he would marry me as a prince and concubine in eight palanquins. In order to stabilize his power, he would take a concubine in the future. I never asked, I just found out today that the concubine that the Third Highness is talking about is you, the fourth sister? It seems that you are really right. We are two sisters who grew up eating water from a well. After we get married, we also eat It’s still a family meal, what a coincidence!”
Yun Jingshu deliberately bit the word "concubine" very hard, and Yun Xueyao couldn't bear it anymore, "Yun Jingshu, keep your mouth clean! You are like a bodhisattva crossing the river and you can't protect yourself. Who is the concubine?"
"Did the Third Highness never mention it to you, Fourth Sister?" Yun Jingshu smiled and returned Yun Xueyao's previous words intact, "He is the prince with the highest voice for the crown prince, his Concubine, even if it wasn't me, she would be the daughter of another prominent family. For example, your cousin Huang Miaoqing is Huang Shoufu's direct granddaughter, but you are just the daughter of Huang Shoufu's concubine's daughter. If I were the third highness, I would definitely choose the granddaughter of the chief assistant's direct relative, as for you, the fourth younger sister, it would be nice to live in a side room."
Yun Xueyao couldn't hold back anymore, she was trembling with anger, "Yun Jingshu, you really want to tear your face apart with me, don't you?"
Yun Jingshu didn't take it seriously, "I'm sorry, where is your shame, fourth sister? Even if I want to tear it up, I have to find it before I can do it, right?"
Yun Xueyao's face was stagnant, she hated to the extreme, her nails dug deeply into her palm.
The power of her grandfather's family has always been her proud capital, but today Yun Jingshu compares her with Huang Miaoqing.
Huang Miaoqing is the second wife of the Huang family, and also the granddaughter of the chief assistant's direct relative. With such an identity, she is more than a little bit noble.
Compared to her, Yun Xueyao is no different from a concubine.
Facing Yun Xueyao's sinister eyes, Yun Jingshu became more calm, "I'm going to the palace soon, if my fourth sister doesn't want people to see your blue face and fangs, then you should restrain yourself, so as not to make people laugh for a while. "
No matter how unwilling Yun Xueyao is, she can't destroy her image in front of others, especially since she is bound to win the third prince, she attaches more importance to the word "image".
The carriage must stop outside the gate of the imperial city.
Yun Chu raised the curtain slightly and saw Yun Jingshu and Yun Xueyao walking one after the other, Yun Jingshu's expression was normal, no matter how well Yun Xueyao concealed it, she couldn't completely cover up the hatred in her eyes.
Yun Chuwei slightly hooked his lips, and the two of them really started arguing in the carriage.
Obviously, Yun Jingshu won completely.
Yun Chuwei had expected a long time ago that a person like Yun Jingshu who could hold her breath would only make the other party suffer a crushing defeat if she faced Yun Xueyao's violent temper.
And Yun Jingshu herself will definitely end up smiling.
It seems that Yun Jingshu's 15 years of idleness in the Hou's mansion are not for nothing. Her means may not be the best, but her scheming is deep enough and she is calm enough when things happen.
It's more than enough to deal with someone like Yun Xueyao who doesn't have enough brains.
For someone like Yun Jingshu, even if she marries into the Su family, she might not be overwhelmed by the gloom of the back house, at least she still has the means to struggle a few times, but Yun Xueyao can't do it, her rank is too low, and she is doomed to fail miserably.
Shaking back his thoughts, Yun Chuwei quickened his pace and walked forward, while Fan Shi waited in front with the old lady on his arm.
Qiu Xia, who was following Yun Chuwei, also quickened her pace, bumped into Yun Chuwei and walked over, snorting coldly.
Yun Chuwei just pretended that he didn't see her, and continued on his own way.
That day at Su's house, Qiu Xia came forward to help Yun Chuwei once. She thought that after this incident, Yun Chuwei should at least thank herself, or form an alliance with her to deal with the hypocrisy of the Houfu.
But Qiu Xia never expected that it was fine for Yun Chuwei not to thank her, and even contradicted her grandmother, Mrs. Yun.
The old lady has been very irritable these days, and she gets angry when there is something she doesn't like. The maids and women in Qinfang Garden have been scolded a lot these days, and they complained and complained in private.
The old lady's great favor is the foundation of Qiu Xia's foothold in the Hou Mansion. It can be said that the attitude of the old lady determines whether Qiu Xia can marry a good family and live a good life in the rest of her life.
Qiu Xia naturally had to please the old lady as if she were an old Buddha.
Now that Yun Chuwei has offended Lafayette again and again, how could Qiu Xia care about her?
Looking at the back figure that was walking farther and farther ahead, Yun Chu smiled slightly and shook his head.
"Girl, Cousin, she's gone too far." Bai Tan was a protector, seeing Qiu Xia walking past Yun Chuwei like that, he was a little annoyed.
"It's okay." Yun Chuwei stretched out his hand to smooth the lapel that Qiu Xia had bumped into, "I have a rule, and I will never do it again. This time, she came forward to help me say a few words at the Su family banquet last time." Don't haggle with her for the sake of words, if there is a next time, it will not be so easy to be kind."
Bai Tan could clearly hear the bone-chilling chill in Yun Chuwei's tone, and his body shivered a few times involuntarily.
From the day she entered Xiangzhang Pavilion to serve, she discovered that her master seemed approachable, but once she got angry, none of them, the maids, dared to get close.
But fortunately, Miss Wei never gets angry easily, let alone put on airs in front of the maid, so the whole Xiangzhang Pavilion is safe and sound.
"Madam." Having already walked up to Fan's, Yun Chuwei symbolically blessed her body.
Fan smiled and nodded.
The old lady's eyes fell on Yun Xueyao, "Si girl, why do you look so ugly, are you sick?"
Yun Xueyao's cold eyes swept across Yun Jingshu's body without a trace, and she shook her head, "I probably got up early today, and I was a little stuffy in the carriage, so my head was dizzy, don't worry, grandma, I'm fine, I'll be fine later Just walk away."
"That's good." The old lady was relieved, "Today's banquet is unusual, no matter who you are, you must give me [-] points of energy. I will serve you according to the family law!"
Without thinking about it, these words were a warning to Yun Chuwei.
Yun Chuwei only listened to it as a joke, but didn't take it to heart.
When Qiu Xia intimately supported the old lady to walk in, Yun Chuwei called Fan Shi aside and asked, "Can I wear a veil to attend the palace banquet?"
"This..." Fan was a little embarrassed, "The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet will inevitably have to drink soon. If you wear a veil, it may be very inconvenient, but you will have to take it off in the end."
Yun Chu frowned slightly.
If you can't wear a veil, it will be bad if Su Li sees it later.
The queen mother's birthday banquet is not a good time for Su Li to see her true face.
Yun Chuwei changed his mind and thought of a way.
It seems that if you want to avoid Su Li, you can only avoid the banquet first.
Yun Chuwei slowed down, and when the old lady and the others were gone, they stood by the lotus pond. Seeing that there was no one around, Yun Chuwei ordered Bai Tan, "I don't want to participate in today's palace banquet. If you jump here, you just let go of your voice and shout for help, understand?"
Bai Tan was so frightened that his face turned pale, "Girl, you must not, the water in the lotus pond is cold in the morning, if you just jump like this, you will get sick."
"Don't worry, I'm not that expensive." Yun Chu winked at her slightly, "As long as you shout for help hard enough, I believe it won't be long before someone will come to save me."
Bai Tan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yun Chuwei, "Stop rambling, otherwise I won't bring you to any future banquets."
Bai Tan resentfully closed his mouth.
Yun Chuwei stepped on the edge of the lotus pond, closed his eyes and opened his arms, ready to jump down.
When her body was empty, she felt that instead of rushing forward, she felt her arm was grabbed by someone. After a moment, her back fell into an extremely warm embrace, and a familiar scent of Zhilan Qinggui came into her nose.
Yun Chuwei opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head, and was facing a pair of slender eyes, long and beautiful, clear and bright, reflecting her pure and beautiful face.
Yun Chuwei was in a very manic mood at this time, staring at the other person's eyes as if about to breathe fire, "What are you doing here?"
The one who hugged her was none other than Xuan Guogong Su Yan.
Yun Chuwei was extremely annoyed.
The first time she wanted to go into the water to pick up a mask, he dived directly into the lake and dragged her out.
This time, when she was about to jump into the lake, he just happened to pass by and dragged her back again.
Can this person appear at the point where it should appear every time?
"If you want to die for love, you don't have to come to the palace, do you?" Su Yan smiled slightly, raised her sword eyebrows lightly, and when she spoke, there was a warm breath spraying on her slender porcelain white swan neck, and the numbness spread all over her limbs Bai Hai, Yun Chu shivered slightly, and lowered his head to see his hands holding her tightly around her waist.
Bai Tan was so startled by this scene that he couldn't even speak, he just stood aside blankly and forgot to react.
"Let me go!" Yun Chuwei kept struggling in his arms.
Meeting him, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes. She didn't do anything wrong in her previous life, so why have she been entangled with this man again and again in this life?
"You can let go." Su Yan's warm voice came from the base of his ears, "Tell me first, why don't you think about jumping into the lake?"
Yun Chu gritted his teeth slightly, and said directly without thinking, "Meeting you is a misfortune, so I choose to reincarnate!"
"Oh? Really?" Su Yan blinked, "In this case, then... let me dance with you!"
Yun Chu was slightly taken aback.
He said slowly: "I also want to meet you again."
Meet you big headed ghost!
Taking advantage of Su Yan's unpreparedness, Yun Chuwei broke free from him, turned around and kicked him hard.
Su Yan might as well, tilt his body forward, and he was about to fall into the lake, but he moved quickly, and after hooking the corner of his mouth, he reached out and grabbed Yun Chuwei's arm with force.
There was a loud "bang", and the two fell into the lotus pond at the same time, causing countless splashes.
Bai Tan finally came to his senses, let go of his voice and shouted, "Help - my girl fell into the water -"
"Stop yelling!" Yun Chu kicked Su Yan away with great effort and suddenly broke through the water, swam to the shore, and gave Bai Tan a look, "Do you want to call everyone to see me and Su Hooligan fall into the water at the same time?"
Su... Su hooligan?
Bai Tan opened his mouth wide in shock, not daring to speak anymore.
It's really bad luck, every time I meet this man, nothing good will happen.
Yun Chuwei was very angry, but he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.
Because that person has not surfaced since he fell into the water.
"Hey!" Yun Chuwei said angrily, "Do you have any new tricks? It's so boring to use this trick every time!"
"Girl, are you cold?" Bai Tan panicked, ran over in a hurry, and dragged Yun Chuwei up with great effort.
It was early morning, Yun Chuwei was drenched all over again, and with the wind blowing, he was naturally shivering with cold.
Bai Tan hurriedly took off his outer shirt and wrapped it around Yun Chuwei.
After finally getting some warmth, Yun Chuwei stood on the shore again, only then did he see Su Yan poking his head slowly.
The worry in her heart dissipated immediately, she gathered the thin coat on her body, and told Bai Tan, "Go to the old lady, just tell me that I fell into the water and got cold, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."
Bai Tan was a little worried, "What if the old lady insists on asking a doctor to see the girl?"
At this time, Su Yan had already landed on the shore, drenched all over, and before he had time to tidy up, he heard the conversation between Yun Chuwei's master and servant, and he raised his lips, "If the girl doesn't mind, I'm the doctor."
Yun Chu stared at him slightly, "I thank Lord Jiu for his great kindness, there is a road here, please go slowly."
If Su Yan didn't leave, Bai Tan didn't dare to inform the old lady, for fear of being seen by others.
Su Yan stood still, "Young lady is just a weak woman. If you accidentally fell into the water, how can you climb up by yourself if no one saves you?"
Yun Chuwei immediately frowned.
He said it as if that was the case, but why him!
Shaking his head annoyedly, Yun Chuwei ordered Bai Tan, "Forget it, just tell the truth in front of the old lady, I accidentally fell into the lotus pond, fortunately Master Jiu came to save me, although my life was not harmed, but after all I was caught cold I can't wait for the palace banquet."
Bai Tan got the order and ran towards the banquet.
Yun Chuwei sat down on the stone bench beside him.
Su Yan walked towards her and asked warmly, "Is it cold?"
"What do you think?" Yun Chuwei asked back angrily. Jumping into the lake was indeed her ultimate goal, but she never thought about jumping with him.
Su Yan recalled what Yun Chuwei told Bai Tan just now, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Did you jump into the lake to pretend to be sick to avoid the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
"Isn't it, what does it have to do with you?" Yun Chuwei turned away, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Su Yan said: "If I had known your purpose earlier, I wouldn't have dragged you into the water."
Yun Chu snorted slightly, "It's only after the incident is over, do you think I'll be grateful to you?"
"But if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be 'ill' today." His tone was leisurely as if he was discussing the weather.
Yun Chu was slightly annoyed, "I've never seen such a brazen person as Master Jiu."
He wasn't humble, "Thank you."
Yun Chu calmed down slightly, "What exactly do you want?"
Su Yan looked at her and said, "Your physique is stronger than the average person's. Besides, you are well versed in water, so falling into the water just now has no effect on you at all. With your status, maybe the queen will know that you fell into the water in a short while. I will also specially ask the imperial physician to come over to see, and it is the imperial physician's turn, but there is really nothing wrong with it. At most, the queen will let you be taken down to change clothes. Today, you still have to continue to participate in the palace banquet."
Yun Chu bit her lip slightly, although she was very reluctant, but at this point, she had no other choice but to ask him for help, "Do you really have a solution?"
"I said before that I am a doctor." Su Yan said: "These masters in the palace, especially the emperor, may not believe everything the imperial physician says, but they will definitely not disbelieve my broken pulse."
So this guy is a miracle doctor?
Yun Chuwei wondered, why had she never heard of it?
"However." His thin lips parted slightly, and he changed the topic, "It's okay if you want me to lie for you, but you can answer me a question first."
Yun Chuwei's face was full of displeasure, "Don't you doctors all aim to save lives and heal the wounded? How can you threaten your own patients like this?"
Su Yan smiled, "If you are really a patient, I won't raise any conditions."
Yun Chuwei choked suddenly.
"Why don't you want to attend today's palace banquet?" Su Yan asked.
"It's not like you don't know that I'm from the countryside, and I get nervous when encountering big scenes, so in order not to embarrass the Yun family, I can only do this." Yun Chuwei said with a calm expression and a serious face.
"That's not good." Su Yan laughed, "If you don't tell the truth to the doctor, the doctor can't show you the root cause of the disease."
Yun Chuwei caught a glimpse of Bai Tan leading Fan's here not far away, she was anxious, and said honestly: "I don't want to see Su Li, let alone let him see my true face."
Su Yan nodded with an expression of "so that's the case", "Okay, now you lie on the stone table and stretch out your wrist."
Yun Chuwei immediately got down on the ground and handed his wrist to Su Yan, looking as if he was about to die of illness.
Su Yan glanced at her. This cunning little fox was alive and kicking a second before bargaining with him. In just a blink of an eye, she would become a sick person immediately. If he hadn't been able to tell from her veins that she was not It's okay, I'm afraid I'll be fooled by her appearance.
This acting skill is superb and skilled enough!
Fan looked around before, but she didn't see Yun Chuwei, and was about to send someone to look for her along the way when she came, when she saw Bai Tan rushing to her side, throwing Yun Chuwei into the water by accident. The general process of being rescued by Su Yan was described.
Fan's expression changed with fright, and he immediately went to greet the queen himself and left to see his daughter.
The empress originally planned to let the imperial physician follow, but Emperor Yonglong said: "Su Yan's medical skills are superb, with him here, there is no need to invite the imperial physician."
So Bai Tan rushed here with only Fan Shi.
Seeing Yun Chuwei lying on the stone table with a pale face, Fan gasped, "Sister Wei, sister Wei, how are you doing?"
While talking, he pressed Tie Yun Chuwei's forehead with the back of his hand. It was not hot, but it was very cold.
"Today's matter, thank you Jiu Ye for saving me."
Seeing that Su Yan was checking Yun Chuwei's pulse, Fan had no choice but to say a few polite words, and asked, "How is Miss Wei?"
"Caught cold." Su Yan said calmly, "It's best to take it home to rest well, and cook a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold and drink it, otherwise you will be seriously ill if you are exposed to the cold wind outside."
Fan nodded again and again, "Thank you Jiu Ye."
After finishing speaking, let Bai Tan help Yun Chuwei up.
Her clothes were soaked through, and she couldn't go out to meet people in this state.
Fan shi was in a hurry, they came to attend the palace banquet, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so they didn't have any spare clothes.
At this moment, a clear and sweet voice came from not far away, "Miss Wei's clothes are all soaked through, she should follow my maid to change into clean ones, otherwise she won't be able to leave the palace soon."
Everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw a person standing not far away wearing a beige palace attire, with a friendly and gentle smile on his delicate face.
This person is the fifth princess Helian Shuang.
Fan hastily saluted, thank you very much.
He Lian Shuang came over, glanced at Yun Chuwei, and sighed: "Poor thing, I'm not in good health, and I'm afraid I'll have to rest for a while after falling into the water again."
Although she was in the deep palace, she had heard some rumors about Yun Chuwei being ill and being sent to the countryside to be raised.
Yun Chuwei followed Helian Shuang's maid to her palace to change clothes.
After thanking her again, Fan also followed Bai Tan with her.
He Lian Shuang stood still in front of Su Yan, seeing that he was wet from head to toe, he couldn't help frowning, "I'll let the maid take Master Jiu to change clothes."
Su Yan said: "No need, I'll send someone back to pick it up right away."
He is not used to wearing other people's clothes, even if they are brand new.
He Lian Shuang knew that his obsession with cleanliness was serious, so he didn't force it, "Your guard is outside the palace, I'll ask the servant girl to inform, before getting the clothes, I'm afraid Jiuye will have to wait here for a while."
According to the regulations, when ministers and ministers enter the palace, they are not allowed to bring guards, they must wait outside the palace gate, so Xiao Ji is not by Su Yan's side.
"It's okay."
Except in front of Yun Chuwei, Su Yan gave the world the impression that he was aloof and unapproachable, and he liked to speak concisely and neatly, never sloppy.
He Lianshuang immediately ordered his other maid to go out of the palace to inform Su Yan's guards.
Feeling a bit awkward in the atmosphere, He Lian Shuang had no choice but to find a topic to relieve, "Master Jiu won a great victory in the Northwest War this time, and added a lot of color to the history of Nanliang's war. As the princess of Nanliang, Helian A member of the family, on behalf of the people of Nanliang, thank Lord Jiu."
Su Yan's expression was indifferent, "The fifth princess is too much, and it is the duty of the minister to protect the family and the country."
For him, winning a battle is certain, the difference lies in which battle is won more beautifully.
He Lian smiled: "I heard that on the day you returned triumphantly, my father intended to make you a king with a different surname, but you refused on the spot. As always, you asked for a lot of gold and silver. At that time, you were not like Mr. Jiu So humble now!"
Su Yan loves money, this is something that the entire court in Nanliang knows. He is the only prince of the country in Nanliang, but he still has a lot of military exploits. Su Yan declined every time. He never said modestly such polite words as "it is right to win a battle, there is no need for rewards". He always asked for gold and silver.
Emperor Yonglong liked such an upright money-greedy temperament, so without saying a word, he was rewarded with a large plate of gold and silver.
The courtiers didn't have any opinion on this, and no one would be jealous because of this. After all, they don't even want noble princes with different surnames. Isn't it just gold and silver and three jars of wine?What's the big deal?
Besides, who would argue with a money-grubbing ghost?
To Su Yan, the king is certainly noble, but the higher the title, the heavier the responsibility, and the greater the possibility of being feared in the future. In addition, he likes freedom, so he is determined not to have the king.
As for gold and silver, he is indeed greedy for money.
His unmarried daughter-in-law is greedy for money, if he is not greedy, what will he marry her with in the future?

Yun Chuwei, who was missed by the innocent, was changing clothes in the bedroom of the fifth princess. She suddenly sneezed loudly on her back, and Fan Shi was so frightened that she thought she had caught a cold. Rest.
-
Xiao Ji went back to the mansion as quickly as possible and took a set of clean clothes for He Lianshuang's servants to send to the palace.
Seeing the little maid coming with a tray of robes, He Lian quickly ordered, "Take Master Jiu directly to my Second Emperor's bedroom to change."
The fifth princess, He Lian Shuang, and the second prince, He Lianjin, are siblings of the same mother, born of the empress.
He Lian Jin'er often went to the military camp for training and became friends with Su Yan, and that's why He Lian Shuang got to know Su Yan.
"My minister thanked the princess." Su Yan was polite, and followed the little maid to He Lianjin's bedroom.
He Lianshuang didn't stay any longer, and went directly to the Imperial Garden.
Everyone at the banquet was in high spirits, and the singing and dancing were very lively.
The queen waved to He Lian and asked her, "Why have you been here for so long?"
He Lian Shuang didn't hide anything, and told the truth, "Master Jiu saved Miss Wei, and my son arranged a place for them to change clothes!"
The queen looked at Helian Shuang thoughtfully.
Helian's heartbeat quickened, "Why is my mother looking at me like this?"
The queen smiled lightly, "I want to see when this little girl crawling out of my stomach will be able to tell her mother what she has been hiding for many years."
Helian's face became hot, and she pouted, "Mother, you're making fun of me again."
The queen glanced at her, and her face suddenly became serious, "Your father is against the marriage of the princess and the powerful officials, so you should give up your heart. The ninth master of the Su family is not your beloved."
"My son knows that he has no intentions for me." Helian Shuang said: "So I don't plan to say it, it's so good as it is now, because of the relationship between the second emperor brother, I can talk to him like friends You are laughing, if I express my thoughts and be rejected by him, that would be embarrassing! I won’t even be friends in the future.”
The queen was very surprised, "I didn't expect the little girl to be so broad-minded."
He Lian curled his lips, "I didn't approach him purely for love, but I just felt that it would take a lot of hard work for a bastard from a humble background to climb to where he is today, step by step. Perseverance, he showed the iron bones of a man so perfectly, although my son is only a woman, but I feel the blood in my chest is surging, I can't help but be impressed by it, I can make such friends, my son will have no regrets in this life."
The queen patted her head, "Although you are young, you can draw your feelings so clearly. The queen mother is very happy."
"Okay!" Helian Shuang blushed a little, "Imperial Grandmother is celebrating her birthday, I haven't given her a gift yet, so I'll go now."
"Well, let's go!"
-
Destiny at the table.
Mrs. Yun looked at Fan with a sullen face, "It's the turn of the daughters of various governments to perform their talents soon, but Miss Wei suddenly fell into the water at this time. Was it accidental or intentional?"
Fan said: "Look at what mother said, who would be idle and accidentally dive into the water and wait for someone to rescue him? If you are not careful, it will kill people."
The old lady's complexion still hasn't improved, "I thought that after so long, she could learn to behave better, but in the end, she is still a troublemaker. It's thanks to the empress dowager that she didn't care about us, otherwise it would be up to her Adding bad luck to the banquet is enough to be sentenced to beheaded."
Fan Shi pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but felt a little annoyed in her heart.
The old lady Yun still couldn't calm down, and babbled, "I told you not to bring her here, you must listen, and next time whoever makes a good idea to bring her to a crowded place to embarrass her face, don't blame me. Talk about affection!"
-
Male guests.
Su Li didn't have the heart to watch the same performances by the daughters of gold at all. He drank alone and saw Su Yan coming back with a change of clothes. He immediately cheered up, "Uncle Nine, I heard that that idiot... I heard that Yun Chuwei fell into the water, you saved him?"
"En." Su Yan sat upright, with no extra expression on his face, and his tone was extremely light.
"Tsk, what kind of shit luck did she have to meet Uncle Jiu by chance?" Su Li said angrily, "If this kind of thing makes me bump into..."
"Are you going to die?" Su Yan asked back.
"Save, definitely save." Su Li felt a little guilty after being stared at by Su Yan, and laughed dryly twice.
Of course he would save her, but before saving, he had to let that woman wash her brain with more bubbles in the water, lest she just come out and embarrass herself when she has nothing to do all day long.
Even he, an outsider, was ashamed for her.
"She's not your fiancee now, what do you care so much about?"
Another question that is neither salty nor light.
Although Su Yan didn't look at Su Li, Su Li felt a chill down her back, and her guilt became even worse.
He had to admit in his heart that Uncle Jiu's aura was a height that he would never be able to reach, and just a casual look with a very lethal look could defeat him.
Su Li doesn't care about that idiot who will never be successful, but just wants to see how stupid she can be.
"What I care about is not Yun Chuwei, but Uncle Jiu." He immediately replied wittily, "Uncle Jiu took the risk of jumping into the lake to save people. If he catches a cold, wouldn't it be a loss? Uncle Jiu takes care of everything, and he has to take care of Jingyao himself." Ma'am, if you fall ill, who will take care of her?"
Su Yan's eyes darkened, but he didn't speak.
Every time Mrs. Jingyao was mentioned, he would think of the dirty and shameful things that Mrs. Feng did to his mother in those years.
The two older brothers, the eldest, Su Ping, and the fourth, Su Yang, had often bullied him when they were young.
However, after Su Yang married Princess Linglong, she overwhelmed her in everything and restrained herself a lot, so Su Yan didn't touch him for the time being.
Elder Master Su Ping was not so lucky. Taking advantage of the spring hunting three years ago, Su Yan hid in the forest and drew a full bow. An arrow shot him in the heart and killed him instantly.
It is normal for arrows to accidentally injure people on the hunting ground, so Emperor Yonglong did not order a thorough investigation of Su Ping's death.
Su Yan wasn't worried, because even if someone did investigate, he would have left a way out for himself, and he would definitely not be found.
Killing Su Ping was to avenge Su Ping for destroying his military book and making the boy pee on the military book he spent most of his savings on.
It can be regarded as a warning to Feng Shi.
However, the death of the eldest son didn't seem to have brought much shock to Feng Shi. After a period of grief, he came out. He still liked to use tricks secretly and fought happily.
Mrs. Su is over sixty years old and still deaf. At this age, no matter how beautiful Madam Jingyao is, he will not be able to favor her.
Nowadays, the fight between the concubine and the old lady in the Su Mansion is nothing more than the family property that will be divided in the near future, but Mrs. Feng will not let Mrs. Jingyao off, and let people secretly use Mrs. Jingyao's medicinal materials. Hands and feet, this completely touched Su Yan's bottom line.
At the beginning, Su Yan intended to bring Mrs. Jingyao to Xuan Guogong's mansion to spend her old age peacefully, on the condition that he didn't want any of the Su family's property.
But at that time, the old lady bit it off, there was no way.
Su Yan couldn't figure out Feng's intentions at that time, until the old lady Su suddenly changed her attitude towards Mrs. Jingyao recently, and treated him even more pleasantly, just like her own eldest son, Su Yan finally came to her senses.
This old woman Feng's calculations are loud enough. She calculated that these masters of the Su family are all civil servants. Except for Su Li's biological father Su Yang who climbed to the high position of Minister of War because of Princess Linglong, the other concubines who became families There is not much hope for the future of the master.
Therefore, Feng's idea was on Su Yan's head.
According to Su Yan's guess, after the Su family's family is completely separated, Mrs. Su may ask him to be adopted under her name.
In big families, it is very common for the concubine to adopt the aunt's name.
The purpose of the old lady Su is to ask Su Yan, a powerful Duke, to support her aunt for the rest of her life. In this way, her title as Mrs. Tai will be inlaid with another layer of gold.
Thinking of this, Su Yan's mouth curled up with a sinister coldness.
Do you want him to worship her for the rest of his life?Don't dream too early!
"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine?"
Su Li was still calling in his ear.
Su Yan woke up.
"What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded." Su Li said, "Could it be that you're really sick?"
"I'm fine." Su Yan shook his head and continued to drink.
Su Li lowered her voice, "The last time I begged Uncle Jiu, do you have a clue?"
Su Yan looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Su Li said: "I just want to ask Uncle Jiu to say a few words in front of the emperor, to see if he can take back the imperial decree letting me marry a girl from the Yun family, or if it can be changed, there are quite a few young masters in our family who haven't married yet. Can't let them replace me?"
Su Yan narrowed his eyes, "Are you going to marry Miss Yunxiao as your wife?"
"Yeah." Su Li's eyes were sincere, and then she said dejectedly: "Since Zijin's death, I haven't been so attracted to anyone for a long time. It's not easy to meet someone who is somewhat similar to Zijin. I don't want to just be like this." Miss, although Xiaoxiao is a businessman, but she has an arrogant personality, she will definitely not agree to let her be a small child, I have thought a lot these days, so I made up my mind to call off the marriage of the Yun family and marry Xiaoxiao to pass the door."
Su Yan gently stroked the white jade cup with his fingertips, "She knows you are going to marry her?"
"This, I haven't said yet." Su Li scratched her head, "But as long as Uncle Jiu promises me to finish this matter, I will find an opportunity to tell her in person, and I don't want to delay this matter any longer. , the more time passes, the less sure I am.”
Seeing that Su Yan didn't respond, Su Li became more and more anxious, "Uncle Jiu, is there any embarrassment in this matter? If you don't want to speak up, then I'll go directly to my great-grandmother. She must be the master."
Su Yan disagreed, "The empress dowager and the emperor have not dealt with each other for many years because of the empress's relationship. You know this. If you personally ask the empress dowager to order the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree, you are slapping the emperor in the face. The consequences are not what you can do." Affordable."
Su Li's face changed, "Then I don't want to go, but Uncle Jiu, you must help me."
"Well, I will find a chance to speak to the emperor."
Su Yan took a sip of wine, and an imperceptible cold light flashed across his eyes.
