Chapter 185 Rui'an Palace (one more)
Ruian Palace not only posted posts to Su Rongduan, Hua Fengling and the others, but also to Princess Qingping.
So, on the day the emperor dismissed Mr. Liu as an official, Princess Qingping, like a normal person, brought three of them to the Palace of Rui'an for a banquet.
In the carriage, Su Rong thanked Princess Qingping, "Thank you, Princess, for your protection."
Princess Qingping waved her hand, "You don't have to thank me, I submitted the book not only for you, but also to follow the emperor's wishes to beat Yanli. In addition, let some foolish people know that I am favored by the emperor, so I dare not easily offend me."
Su Rong still sincerely thanked, "I still want to thank the princess, no matter what your reason is, I will always benefit from it."
After all, after this incident, the government and the public really knew that she was well protected by Princess Qingping, which was a good thing. Those who want to move her, such as the eldest prince and the second prince, have to weigh it carefully.
In addition, she had just entered Beijing, and with the help of Princess Qingping, she gave the eldest prince a blow. It can be regarded as telling the prince that she is useful to him, and it is not for nothing to eat and drink in his mansion.
Princess Qingping smiled, "If you say that, I will thank you in return. After all, I have come to Beijing to live in the Princess Mansion, and I and Hua'er have lived happily every day."
What she didn't say was that the years of estrangement between her and her son-in-law were resolved because of her, and Duanhua was not so attached to Zhou Gu anymore. He walked out of the dead end, so that she would not have a headache for her. This girl is a lucky star.
Su Rong also laughed, thinking guiltyly, she lived in the princess mansion, one is to eat, and the other is to use the princess mansion to enter the upper circle of the capital to help the prince. She didn't expect to make people happy every day, and she and Feng Ling were not in vain eating and drinking.
The carriage came to Rui'an Palace, Xie Lin stood at the door to welcome the guests.
Today's banquet at the Rui'an Palace is different from the first princess's banquet that was only aimed at Su Rong. Only Duanhua, Su Rong, and the second princess were invited, and Feng Ling was added at most. Princess Rui'an posted posts to all the wives he had befriended, and the ladies in Prince Rui'an's mansion also posted posts to the ladies he had befriended. Xie Lin also invited the sons who had befriended him.
So, today's Rui'an Palace is very lively.
After Princess Qingping got out of the carriage, Duan Hua and Su Rong also got out of the carriage. Xie Lin hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Princess, Princess, Miss Su Qi."
Qingping smiled and glanced at Xie Lin, "Young Lord Xie is getting more and more outstanding."
Xie Lin is embarrassed, "Princess, you are flattering the prize. Please come inside. Princess Sheng'an is here, and the concubine is accompanying her. Otherwise, I should come out to greet you in person."
Qingping stopped, and almost turned around and left. She was afraid of this elder aunt since she was a child. She went to the palace a while ago to sue Zhou Gu, and was scolded by her in the palace.
Duanhua understands what her mother is thinking best. In fact, she is also afraid of Princess Sheng'an. She tugged at Qingping's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, Putao."
Qingping suddenly remembered, oh, by the way, she just ate the grapes sent by Princess Sheng'an to the Princess Mansion. She took a deep breath, and stepped into the gate of Prince Rui'an's mansion dignifiedly.
Duanhua waved his arm around Su Rong, looked at Xie Lin and asked, "Except for Princess Sheng'an, who is here in the Duke's Mansion?"
Xie Lin was serious, "Except for those who are not at home, everyone else has come."
Duanhua understood, that is to say, Mrs. Guo, Zhou Gu, the unmarried Fifth Miss, and several other wives from the other rooms had come. She turned her head and looked at Su Rong.
Su Rong looked as usual, and introduced to Xie Lin with a smile, "This is my brother, Feng Ling."
Feng Ling stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Thank you, little prince."
When Xie Lin was in Jiangning County, Feng Ling was still hiding in the dark. He had seen Xie Lin, but Xie Lin had never seen him.
Xie Lin also cupped his hands, stepped forward with a smile, patted Feng Ling on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and said in a low voice, "Brother Feng, you are amazing. I learned how to do a Buddha jumping over the wall with the chef in the kitchen of the First Prince's Mansion. I tied Ning Ze and ate the lampblack for half a day. This move has spread throughout the capital. Everyone wants to know you."
Feng Ling felt ashamed, and gave him reassurance, "Don't worry, little prince, I don't plan to drill into the kitchen of your Prince Rui'an's mansion today."
Xie Lin laughed out loud.
He personally accompanied a few people into the mansion. While talking and laughing, he observed Su Rong out of the corner of his eye, and found that she had divorced Zhou Gu, and there was no trace of haze.
Su Rongxiao asked: "Can my elder brother come?"
Xie Lin replied: "Come on, people haven't arrived yet. Brother Su should be with Mrs. Shen and her family."
Su Rong nodded.
A group of people came to the living room, and saw that many people had already come inside. The eldest princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife were all sitting, and the rest of the ladies were also sitting or standing.
Princess Rui'an is a beauty. After seeing Princess Qingping and the others, she smiled and stood up, "Qingping is here. I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look so good? But have you changed to a new rouge powder?"
Qingping nodded, "The son-in-law took pollen and fresh rouge for me in his spare time."
Princess Ryan was surprised, and suddenly smiled, "No wonder."
It is said that in recent days, Princess Qingping and the son-in-law are harmonious and beautiful. It seems true that the son-in-law has even done the rouge making business. If this is put in the past, it is absolutely impossible.
All the ladies were a little surprised when they heard the words. Among the people sitting, there were many who had laughed at Qingping in private before, thinking to themselves, this is really a twisted melon blooming on the iron tree.
Princess Ruian's eyes fell on Su Rong again, she was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, she returned to normal, "This is Miss Su Qi, right?"
Su Rong bowed respectfully, "Princess!"
Princess Ruian took her hand with a smile, looked at her carefully, and said in a kind tone: "After Lin'er returned to Beijing, he told me that he met you on the street when he first arrived in Jiangning County. You invited him to the mansion for dinner. Unexpectedly, Master Su and Mrs. Su were so hospitable that they stayed him in the mansion that day. During his stay in Jiangning, thanks to the care of the Su family. We are a guest, but due to the period of scientific research, we delayed seeing you until today."
Su Rong smiled slightly, "Princess, you are polite."
Princess Ruian withdrew the bracelet from her hand and put it on Su Rong's hand, "This is a meeting gift." She added, "The elders can't deny this gift. Keep it! Just treat this mansion as your own, be free and unrestricted."
Su Rong looked down at the bracelet on his wrist, it was crystal clear, and it was a piece of high-quality jade, probably worth thousands of gold, so it was considered a generous meeting gift. Through this bracelet, one is to express Xie Lin's care for Su family in Jiangning County, and the other is to express the kindness of the Rui'an Palace to her. She thought about it, and accepted it without hesitation, thanking, "Thank you, Princess."
Princess Rui'an was not in awe when she saw her.
After meeting Princess Rui'an, Su Rong naturally wanted to meet in front of Princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife.
Princess Sheng'an held Su Rong's hand with a smile, and smiled kindly, "You child, why are you so polite? Come, sit next to me."
Su Rong took advantage of the situation and sat next to Princess Sheng'an.
Princess Sheng An asked with a smile: "I sent someone to deliver the grapes to the Princess Mansion, can you eat them? Are they delicious?"
Su Rong saw that everyone was looking this way. Some were surprised, some were puzzled, some were puzzled, some were curious, some were thoughtful, and they all wanted to see how she got along with the people from the Duke Huguo's mansion who had resigned from her engagement. She didn't look at others, but only smiled and replied to Princess Sheng'an, "Eat, it's delicious."
Princess Sheng'an smiled and said: "It's the grape trellis planted in your brother Zhou's yard. He has never been picked by anyone, and he specially left it for you."
Su Rong paused and smiled, "Thank you Brother Zhou."
Princess Sheng'an patted her hand, "He is here today too, I want to thank you for a while and thank him by myself."
Su Rong responded, "Okay."
Short words, did not avoid people, all the ladies present were very surprised, did not expect that Su Rong and Zhou Gu divorced, not only did not have any ill relations, but also seemed to have a good relationship, which is really strange.
In the past, in Beijing and China, all the unmarried couples divorced, not to mention enmity, there were many people, but there were very few who only said that they could maintain the friendly relationship between the two parties. This Duke Huguo's Mansion and the Su Family in Jiangzhou are really rare.
Princess Sheng'an held Su Rong's hand, introduced to her several wives from other houses in Duke Huguo's Mansion, and then specially introduced Miss Fifth, "This is Yun'er, who is one and a half years older than you. You can call her Sister Yun. She has a good temper. You will be sisters in the future, so keep in touch."
Su Rong smiled and nodded, looking at the heroic girl in front of her, "Hello, Sister Yun."
Zhou Yun was also curious about Su Rong, and she was also very puzzled when she came to the door to withdraw the engagement. She asked her mother, the third wife, in private, but the third wife said that she didn't know the inside story, but told her not to look into it. She smiled and took Su Rong's hand, "Sister Rong."
