imperial concubine

Chapter 42 Pretending to be Noble
The candles in the room gradually became shorter, but Zhuru's voice gradually increased, "General Huo heard what Princess Jingya said, but after thinking about it for a while, he said to Princess Jingya, Your Highness, I have seven stab wounds on my body. The arrow wound is a clear proof that I have expanded the territory for the imperial court, even if Princess Jinghuang is alive, she will definitely not let me shy away from it."

Su Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then came back to her senses. It was really a military style, simple and rude, but direct and effective.Since Huo Jing was able to accumulate military merits and rise to his current position step by step, he is naturally extraordinary.Just as he said, even if he is alive, he will definitely not be shunned, but will be rewarded instead.

Zhuru went on to say: "At that time, Princess Jingya was stunned on the spot, silent for a long time. Then she waved her hand and left, and just announced General Huo away alone. I don't know what she said."

Speaking of this, Zhuru woke up from the majestic posture of Huo Jing's outspoken admonition in the Golden Palace, and smiled at Su Wan embarrassedly: "Later, people in Beijing heard about this and praised General Huo for not being afraid of power. , General Huo's reputation has spread throughout the capital."

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan finally understood in her heart why the eldest lady said that Huo Jing was an upright official before, so there was such an allusion in it.Thinking that the dispute between Huo Jing and Yun Jingya was caused by herself, Su Wan couldn't help feeling a little excited.

I never thought that I would leave such a deep impression on the hearts of others.Some people even bet on their bright future for their own names.

Zhuru looked at the hourglass outside, but found that it was already late, so she hurriedly said to Su Wan: "Miss, it's already Haishi, you should rest earlier."

Hearing Zhuru's words, today's whole day's exhaustion and the stamina of Fangfu's mellow wine all surged up.Su Wan covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, "That's right, let's rest."

Zhuru quickly made the bed and waited for Su Wan to sleep.This time Su Wan slept until the sun was high and woke up. After getting up, she tied up her hair casually, and sat by the window to read a book.

After an unknown period of time, Su Wan only felt hungry, and shouted to the outside: "Zhuru, what time is it?" Zhuru outside replied crisply: "Miss Hui, it's already noon."

Hearing that it was noon from Zhuru, Su Wan put down the book in her hand, then walked to the table, ready to eat.After waiting for a long time, but still no meal was delivered, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Zhuru, what's going on?"

Zhuru walked in quickly from the outside, saw the young lady sitting at the table, knew that the young lady must be hungry, and quickly explained: "Miss, the third young lady is entertaining guests today, and the cook is very busy. Just now, the servant has already gone to remind her , it will be delivered in a while."

As soon as Zhuru finished speaking, she heard a woman outside say: "Zhuru, the cook has brought over today's lunch. Hurry up and clothe the young lady, so that the young lady won't be hungry." Zhuru hurriedly ran out , and came back soon with a food box.

Seeing the dishes being placed on the table, Su Wan felt a little strange. Today is not a festival, how could Su Yue entertain guests?Could it be that something good happened to her?
Reaching out to take the rice handed over by Zhuru, she picked up the ivory-inlaid silver chopsticks on the table. Su Wan just stopped when she was about to move the chopsticks, and asked Zhuru, "Why is Su Yue feasting on the guests today? Is there something going on in the mansion?" ?”

Zhuru carefully brought out the soup under the food box, then when she heard Su Wan's question, she rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't the third lady win the first prize at the Hundred Flowers Poetry Competition yesterday? Today is precisely for this matter So feast the guests in the mansion."

Hearing Zhuru's explanation, Su Wan smiled wryly and shook her head, it turned out it was because of this matter.I really didn't expect that just a small first prize in the poetry competition could make Su Yue so happy.Really have never seen the world.

After lunch, Su Wan felt a little stuffy in the room, and wanted Zhuru to accompany her out for a walk in the back garden.Zhuru said in a friendly manner: "Miss, the third lady is having a banquet in the back garden. Isn't it inappropriate for you to go at this time?"

Su Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Zhuru must be worried about her relationship with Su Yue. After all, the two of them had a very unpleasant fight before. If they went to the back garden at this time, Su Yue would definitely have other thoughts in his mind.

Thinking of this, Su Wan smiled at Zhuru, "Don't worry. Today is a good day for Su Yue, so naturally I won't be angry with her. Let's just go for a walk in the back garden and come back immediately."

Although the quarrel between the two of them was extremely unpleasant before, today is a good day for Su Yue to celebrate, there is no need for me to add trouble to Su Yue at this time, I just simply go for a walk in the garden.

Zhuru was relieved when she heard Su Wan say this, and hurriedly went to get the cloak sprinkled with gold and silver thread, and the master and servant walked out of the room talking and laughing.Through the small courtyard, through the corridor.Not long after, Su Wan and Zhu Ru came to the garden of the Hou Mansion.

Entering the garden of Dehou Mansion, one can see that the garden is full of flowers in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, like a fairyland on earth. You can vaguely see the garden pavilion surrounded by curtains, and there are two people sitting and drinking wine in front of each other.

Seeing this scene, Su Wan twitched her mouth slightly, and then softly instructed Zhuru: "Since Su Yue is entertaining guests in the gazebo, the two of us should stay away from the gazebo so as not to disturb them."

Zhuru nodded, although the third lady treated her own lady very badly, but after all, the third lady and her lady are sisters, if possible, try not to make trouble, not to mention there are outsiders present today.

The two walked around the pavilion surrounded by curtains, and then looked at the garden for a while.Just when the two were about to leave, Su Yue's maid suddenly appeared.The maid gave a salute to Su Wanying, and then said: "My lady, please ask the second lady to go over and talk about it."

Su Wan knew in her heart that Su Yue must have seen herself in the curtain just now.With Su Yue's character, if she went to find herself at this time, there would definitely be many problems.I was in a good mood just now, so I don't want to get angry with Su Yue anymore.

With this in mind, Su Wan said to the maid in front of her, "Tell your lady, I appreciate her kindness. It's just that I feel a little unwell today, so I can't chat with her. When I recover someday, I will definitely visit her."

This is of course a lie.Su Wan just stayed in the room feeling stuffy, so she just came out for a walk, not to mention her rosy complexion, she didn't look like she was ill?However, Su Wan didn't want to break face with Su Yue, so she made an excuse at will.

It never occurred to her that the maid did not leave, but was still standing in front of Su Wan.Su Wanfeng narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the maid's face, "Could it be that you still insist on asking me?"

The maid was frightened by Su Wan's sharp gaze, so she quickly saluted Su Wan deeply, and then said with a crying voice: "Second Miss, my lady invites you to come over. If you don't go, the slave will be punished. Please, Second Miss Poor poor slaves!"

Seeing the tears in the maid's eyes, Su Wan's heart softened inexplicably.Originally, with her temperament, she would never agree.This maid belonged to Su Yue, so she was punished by Su Yue and had nothing to do with her.

But at this moment, Su Wan's heart softened, and she said to the maid in a strange way: "In this case, then you lead the way." Although Zhuru knew in her heart that she shouldn't go, she saw the maid's tears and said something to stop her. Not exported.

Not long after, the three of them came to the gazebo.Before seeing the person in the pavilion, he heard a burst of clear laughter like silver bells.Su Wan was very familiar with this voice, and the person who just laughed was her sister, Su Yue.

The maid walked up to the curtain and whispered to the people in the gazebo: "Miss, Second Miss is here." Hearing the maid's reply, Su Yue hummed lightly in the curtain and said, "I see. "There is no more text.

Su Wanxiu, who was standing outside the curtain, frowned slightly, then walked straight forward, opened the curtain and walked in.A man and a woman were sitting in the pavilion, facing Su Wan's people, wearing a dark green butterfly jacket, with long black hair tied up in a shocking bun.

The man had a silk-stuffed crystal hairpin inserted into his cloud temples, and a pink and blue embroidered gold flower pattern mesh belt around his waist, on which hung a sachet with a begonia gold silk pattern. The whole person looked extremely beautiful and extraordinary, it was Su Yue.

Looking at the messy cups and plates on the table, Su Yue was talking and laughing happily with the person facing him.Su Wan looked at Su Yue, raised the corner of her mouth, and said with a sneer, "My sister is in a good mood today, I don't know if I sent someone to invite me here, what's the matter?"

One sentence broke Su Yue's mind.Just now Su Yue specially sent someone to invite her to come over, but she left herself aside when she came outside the pavilion, she just wanted to show her off in front of others.

After being broken by Su Wan, Su Yue's face turned blue and white, and it took a while to recover, and said with a forced smile: "My sister came so fast, but my sister was a little surprised, and Xiang'er didn't say anything when she answered. Be clear, sister, don't be angry."

Naturally, Su Wan didn't believe Su Yue's words.Just now, Xiang'er made it clear outside that she had already invited herself here. It was clear that Su Yue wanted to give herself a bad start, but now she pushed the matter to Xiang'er.

At this moment, the person facing Su Yue stood up, turned around and saw Su Wan, gave Su Wan a deep salute, and said slowly: "Qian Qinghui has met the second lady." Not like a reckless person.

Hearing Qian Qinghui's words, Su Wan replied, "Su Wan has met Mr. Qian."

Then Su Wan got up and looked at Qian Qinghui carefully.I saw her face like a crown of jade, nose like hanging courage, eyes like stars and brows like sharp swords, she was wearing a blue silk shirt with a moon white phoenix pattern belt around her waist.Looks like a talent.

When Qian Qinghui heard Su Wan's name, his eyes lit up, and he asked in great surprise: "Miss is Miss Su Wansu who won the golden hairpin at the Nobile Banquet?"

Ever since Su Wan got the crested hairpin, she became famous.But firstly, Su Wan seldom goes out, and secondly, she doesn't like to socialize with others, so there are many people in the capital who know Su Wan's name, but few people have actually met Su Wan.

Seeing the surprised look on Qian Qinghui's face, Su Wan nodded proudly, "Exactly."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Qian Qinghui saluted again, "I've heard about Ms. Su's name for a long time, and today I can see her beautiful face with my own eyes. Qian is really lucky. If Ms. doesn't dislike it, why don't you sit down with us How about a drink?"

Hearing Qian Qinghui's words, Su Yue's expression on the opposite side became even uglier.At this time, Su Wan already knew why Su Yue invited her here, she just wanted to humiliate herself in front of Qian Qinghui.It's just that I never thought that things would turn out like this.

Although Su Wan was very happy to see Su Yue's face turned pale, but today she was a little uncomfortable, and after relaxing in the garden just now, she felt much more comfortable.Now that she is going to drink with Su Yue again, Su Wan suddenly feels uncomfortable.

So Su Wan could only refuse Qian Qinghui's invitation with a smile, "I should treat Mr. Qian well today, but I'm sick and can't accompany you. I hope Mr. Qian will forgive me."

Hearing that Su Wan was ill, Qian Qinghui felt a little disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart, "In this case, Miss Su will go back to rest earlier. When Qian visits next time, Miss Su will make up for it." It's not too late this time."

Su Wan said goodbye to Qian Qinghui with a smile, then turned and left.During the whole process, he never glanced at Su Yue.However, as soon as Su Wan got out of the curtain, she heard a gloomy voice behind her saying: "What's wrong with you? It's just pretending to be noble!"
