imperial concubine

Chapter 31 The Study
The temperature of the sun at sunset is just right, and it is warm on people's bodies.Zhuru followed Su Wan carefully, feeling very apprehensive.After a while, Zhuru finally said cautiously, "Miss, the master called you over so late, you must be careful."

After hearing this, Su Wan, who was walking in front, was noncommittal and just smiled.She knew what Zhuru was worried about.

Last night, after Su Wan coldly rejected Zhao Huaixin, Zhao Huaixin left in anger.The marriage between Su Huaiyuan and Zhao Kuoyuan naturally broke up unhappy.

Su Wan's self-assertion disrupted Su Huaiyuan's marriage plan, and Su Huaiyuan was definitely dissatisfied.If he wants to see himself at this moment, he must be preparing to reprimand him.Zhuru also guessed this point in her heart, so she reminded herself so blatantly to be careful.

If Su Wan was still the old Su Wan, she might have made up her mind to marry Zhao Huaixin yesterday.But today's Su Wan is the eldest princess who would rather set herself on fire than live in the world. Her neck has always been bent rather than bent.

After a while, the two arrived outside Su Huaiyuan's study.Zhuru stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly, Su Wan's tone was calm, "Daughter comes to greet father."

The voice in the study was rather angry, "Come in!" The voice was low, as if Su Huaiyuan was deliberately suppressing the anger in his heart.

Zhuru glanced at Su Wan worriedly, and Su Wan walked lightly into the study.

The room was lit with refreshing morning glow incense, and the shelves on both sides were filled with densely packed books. Su Huaiyuan was sitting behind the book table, holding an ancient book in his hand, reading carefully.

The eldest lady was sitting at the bottom, and when she saw Su Wan coming in, she smiled.Su Wan knew in her heart that the matter must be hindered by the eldest lady.If it wasn't for what the lady said to Su Huaiyuan, Su Huaiyuan would never have called him here specifically for what happened last night.

Su Wan took a few steps forward, then fluttered down and bowed, "Su Wan to father, and mother."

Su Huaiyuan, who was sitting on the teacher's chair, put down the book in his hand, looked at Su Wan in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Get up and talk." Su Wan answered, and then stood in the hall with her hands down.

Looking at the daughter in front of him, Su Huaiyuan was extremely dissatisfied.You are already such a big person, why don't you understand your painstaking efforts at all?He also did things like last night that made him unable to step down, "Wan'er, I have a few words to ask you."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan knew in her heart that he must be for what happened last night.Just now on the way here, I have already sorted out the matter carefully, and I have already thought about the questions that Su Huaiyuan may ask, and I am already confident at this moment.

Therefore, Su Wanzhen nodded lightly, "Father, please ask, Wan'er must know everything and say everything."

Su Huaiyuan's surprise was that her daughter's attitude was so calm.Although Su Huaiyuan didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the back house before and let the eldest lady manage it, he knew a thing or two about Su Wan's character.

Because of the falling into the water before, my mother mentioned to herself that Su Wan was extraordinary.But I don't believe it. After all, Su Wan was already so cowardly before, so how could he change any more?But Su Wan's performance last night exceeded Su Huaiyuan's expectations, which made him extremely happy.I didn't expect her performance today to impress me even more.

Although Su Huaiyuan was happy in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, "Wan'er, let me ask you, how was Zhao Huaixin, the son of General Zhenyuan last night?"

Although the tone was flat, the words he asked were not flat at all.Presumably, if Su Wan's answer annoyed Su Huaiyuan, Su Huaiyuan's stormy questioning would immediately follow!

But hearing such plain words, Su Wan looked at the tip of her shoe with a faint smile on her face.Even after so many years, even though he has been separated from others, Su Huaiyuan's way of questioning is still the same.

Su Wan lowered her head, and said the answer she had prepared in her heart long ago, "Mr. Zhao is handsome, has extraordinary conversation, and profound knowledge. He is a rare talent in the capital."

In her previous life, Su Wan was intelligent, and Emperor Jing never avoided Su Wan's political affairs, and even taught Su Wan a lot intentionally or unintentionally.After all, the whole country knows the eldest princess's virtuous name. If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, it would be great if Su Wan could help the prince.

At that time, Su Wan had seen Su Huaiyuan's memorial, and every time she spoke in a seemingly flat tone, and then asked her own questions, just like today.It never occurred to him that after so many years, Su Huaiyuan hadn't changed at all.

Sure enough, Su Huaiyuan's calm expression immediately sank, "If that's the case, why did you leave Mr. Zhao alone in the back garden last night, while you drifted away? Could it be that you deliberately wanted to embarrass your father? No?"

The eldest lady on the side frowned slightly, then sighed, and said to Su Huaiyuan: "Master, why does Wan'er think so? It must be that Mr. Zhao angered Wan'er last night, that's why Wan'er walked away in a huff. .Really, Wan'er."

The eldest lady looked at Su Wan with Yingying eyes.The eldest lady already knew all about what happened last night from her subordinates, and she told Su Huaiyuan just now, but the eldest lady blamed Zhao Huaixin for Su Wan's departure last night.

Hearing Da Furen's words, Su Wan sneered. Naturally, she would not be so innocent as to think Da Furen was helping her.At this time, the eldest lady said this just to pretend to love herself in front of Su Huaiyuan, "Mother was wrong, what happened last night was not Mr. Zhao's fault."

The lady sitting on the side was stunned. She thought that if she said a few good words to Su Wan, Su Wan would follow the way out that she pointed out, and then she would be able to trap Su Wan into the pit.I never thought that she would play cards out of common sense.

Su Huaiyuan, who was in the middle, heard Su Wan's words, his face was even more gloomy like the dark clouds before the rainstorm, "Since Zhao Huaixin's appearance, character, and knowledge are not bad, and he never angered you. Why did you leave on the spot?"

As he said that, Su Huaiyuan slapped the desk hard with his big hand, causing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to jump up, "Could it be that you want to embarrass your father?"

Su Wan raised her head and glanced at Su Huaiyuan, but seeing Su Huaiyuan's face full of anger, she quickly lowered her head, "Wan'er didn't dare. It's just that Wan'er didn't leave in a huff last night, but after explaining clearly to Mr. leave."

What happened last night, only myself, Zhao Huaixin and Zhuru were present, although the servant arranged by Da Furen was also present, but they were too far away from the gazebo, so I never heard what I said to Zhao Huaixin.

After the book case, Su Huaiyuan was still dissatisfied, "If you really made it clear with Zhao Huaixin, why would he come back with a face full of anger? How could General Zhao leave suddenly while Zheng Huan was chatting with me? Obviously you said What should I not have said!"

Seeing that Su Huaiyuan was furious, the eldest lady quickly persuaded: "Master, don't get angry and hurt yourself. Then Mr. Zhao is just talking one-sidedly, why don't you listen to what Wan'er has to say? Maybe Wan'er has unavoidable difficulties .”

Hearing Da Furen's persuasion, Su Huaiyuan was even more angry, "Shut up! Since ancient times, a loving mother has always been a loser. If you hadn't been protecting her in the backyard, how could she have become so bold now? What happened last night, You have something to do with it too!"

Seeing that her persuasion was useless, the eldest lady could only remain silent.But she was aggrieved on the face, but she was snickering in her heart, thinking that after her own persuasion, Su Huaiyuan's punishment of Su Wan would definitely not be raised high, but gently lowered.

Su Wan heard what Da Furen said, and knew that she was not really speaking for herself.He just took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and reported that he had reported Su Yue in front of the old lady before.

Su Wan raised her head and looked directly at Su Huaiyuan, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with mother, it was done by Wan'er alone. Although Mr. Zhao is good in everything, he just can't get along with Wan'er. In the end, we just broke up unhappy.”

These words are clearly telling the eldest lady that I don't accept the love you just had, and even more implicitly telling Su Huaiyuan that if he really wants to marry someone else, he must find someone who can meet his own wishes.If not, only one can come, one can go!
Su Huaiyuan had been in court for a long time, and when he heard that Su Wan was so self-willed, he was really angry, "Zhao Huaixin is a well-known talent in the capital, if you can't talk to such a person, who can talk to you?" Come together? Master Fang!"

Although Su Huaiyuan had the idea of ​​marriage in his heart, he spent a lot of painstaking efforts in finding a candidate, and finally picked Zhao Huaixin out of so many candidates. He never thought that Su Wan would not be satisfied!

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Su Wan was not to be outdone, "Wan'er is now the choice of the golden hairpin. It is fine to be friends with Mr. Zhao, but it is absolutely impossible to let Wan'er marry! Father also knows that last year the golden hairpin's banquet , the one who gets the golden hairpin is the current third concubine!"

After the book case, Su Huaiyuan was taken aback when he heard Su Wan's words. First, he couldn't believe that Su Wan dared to talk to him like this. Second, his daughter was very ambitious, and she even wanted to become a prince and concubine!
After being stunned for a while, Su Huaiyuan frowned and asked, "In your opinion, who can be worthy of you?"

Zhao Huaixin was already a top-notch talent in the capital, and Su Huaiyuan took great pains in choosing him as the first person to meet Su Wan.Zhao Huaixin's family background is comparable to Su Wan's, his talent and learning are well-known in Beijing, and his appearance is also a top-notch candidate.But Su Wan is still dissatisfied with such a candidate. Does she really want to be the princess?

Naturally, Su Wan never had the intention of becoming a princess, the person on the dragon chair is Su Wan's enemy!How could she be willing to commit herself to marry and be the daughter-in-law of her enemy?

What's more, the new emperor's princes are either young and have not yet reached the age of accepting concubines, or they already have concubines. Su Wan's words just now are just excuses.

The lady on the side heard that Su Huaiyuan's tone softened, rolled her eyes slightly, and asked Su Wan with a smile, "Exactly. Wan'er, please tell me what your beloved looks like, so that the master can find out with me." As she said that, Da Furen's gaze shifted, staring at Su Wan's face, "Or, if you have a candidate in mind, you can say it yourself."

Although Da Furen's words were light and simple, they were full of murderous intent to Su Wan's ears.The lady's words were nothing more than insinuating that she had already made a private decision with someone for life, so she resisted the person Su Huaiyuan chose so much.

Sure enough, upon hearing Da Furen's words, Su Huaiyuan looked over dubiously, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Su Wan's complexion remained unchanged, and she replied lightly, "Mother is joking, if there is really someone in Wan'er's heart, how can mother not know?"

The lady's face froze, knowing that Su Wan was mocking her for spying on her, she smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject, "What does the lover in Wan'er's heart look like?"

Su Wanzhen lifted her head slightly, and the cloud and satin on her body moved lightly. The patterns of golden thread wrapped around the branches were in the smoke rising from the fragrance of the morning glow in the study, creating a kind of beauty that seemed real and illusory. , "Wan'er's beloved person, if he doesn't have the talent and learning of Mr. Fang, then he must have the courage of General Huo. If not, how can he be worthy of me, Su Wan?"

As the green smoke rose, a look of pride appeared on Su Wan's face.
