chapter 55
In Qixia Palace, Su Wan had already arranged the wine and food, dressed in pink and jade, and was charming. She had been kneeling at the dining table for a day, but she still couldn't wait for Xiao Jin to come.
Madam Chun came over, "Miss, don't be anxious. The prince is still busy in the study at this time, so he will definitely come here later."
Today is her birthday. No matter how busy she was in previous years, he would take time to accompany her. Now he seems too lazy to even play scenes.
It’s all because of that woman named Meier!
Originally, she thought Su Mei was dead, so sooner or later he would let go of his knot to accept her, but such a woman appeared halfway through, making him even more out of reach.
The night became darker and Xiao Jin still did not come. Su Wan's face was ashamed and said hatefully, "I want to kill her!"
Madam Chun hurried over to cover Su Wan's mouth and advised: "Miss, don't be impatient. Haste will not be able to do anything. Come slowly."
Su Wan looked at Madam Chun and cried, "But Madam, he is now so fascinated by that bitch, and he doesn't even want to see me."
"Miss, don't be anxious. I can see that the prince is not a ruthless person. He is a person who is soft and not hard. At this time, you must not conflict with the hoof head-on, otherwise you will push him further and further."
Why didn't Su Wan know Xiao Jin's temper, but she had been gentle and delicate in front of him for so many years. In addition to giving him some pity, he was still very stingy to her emotionally. Seeing that he now holds Mei'er, who has just arrived in the mansion for less than half a year, and hangs it in her heart, she really can't hold back her breath.
Madam Chun continued to advise: "That hoof is born in the Qinlou Chuguan, so you will definitely have some charming methods of seducing people. You are a lady from a wealthy family. When it comes to seducing men, you must not be as good as her."
This sentence suddenly came to Su Wan's heart. She came to her senses and pulled Madam Chun and asked, "Madam said, what should I do?"
"You have to let go of your figure. Men like to let go of themselves."
Su Wan said hesitantly: "But, I, we, never, I really can't do that..."
Madam Chun took out a small paper bag from her arms and leaned into Su Wan's ear and said, "There are actually many ways to keep a man."
Su Wan suddenly understood what Madam Chun meant. Zhou Miaoshu used this bad idea to cling to Xiao Jin. She could see clearly how Xiao Jin looked down on Zhou Miaoshu later. Su Wan waved her hand and said, "Madam, please give up this idea. He is very smart and hates others' calculations about him the most. It would be great if he noticed it."
Madam Chun comforted, "Miss, don't worry, this is not a medicine, it's just a spice of love. Put it in the incense burner and it will take effect slowly. Then, the lady will show tenderness to the prince, so she will not be afraid that the prince will not be moved by the lady."
Su Wanyou asked worriedly: "Is it really not noticeable?"
Madam Chun promised, "Don't worry, Miss."
The master and servant were plotting in the hall, and the maid outside shouted: "The prince is here."
Su Wan was extremely surprised and gave a wink at Madam Chun. Madam Chun understood and carefully poured the spice into the incense burner.
Su Wan greeted her gently and knelt down at Xiao Jin's feet, "I'll welcome the prince."
Today, the Qixia Palace is decorated in a warm and beautiful manner, and all the decorations such as antiques have been removed. The hall is decorated with only light gauze and fine silk, and the incense burner is filled with pleasant sweet fragrance, which makes people drunk.
Xiao Jin helped her up, "You are the birthday boy today, so there is no need to be polite."
Su Wan stood up, took off the crane cloak for Xiao Jin, and said gently: "The prince is busy with government affairs and takes time to celebrate his birthday with me. I am so grateful."
Xiao Jin looked at the table full of wine and food and replied, "I'll have a drink with you."
Su Wan quickly filled Xiao Jin with fine wine, served it to Xiao Jin, and poured a glass of wine for herself, raised it to Xiao Jin and said, "I hope I can have a good time with the prince every year."
Xiao Jin raised his head and drank it all, then filled another cup and said to Su Wan: "I wish you a peaceful and peaceful life."
Su Wan felt a soreness in her heart, and looked at Xiao Jin with tears in her eyes and said, "My glory and wealth are given by the prince. I have thanked the prince here." After that, she bent down and knelt down and bowed solemnly to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin leaned over to help her up, but Su Wan rushed into Xiao Jin's arms, looked at him with tears in her eyes and asked, "But what I really want is not glory and wealth. What I want is to be harmonious with the prince's zither and finally get married. I have been waiting for the prince's favor for so many years, but the fallen flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless."
Xiao Jin silent for a long time and replied quietly: "I know I have really wronged you over the years, but some things cannot be forced."
Su Wan stood up, pulled Xiao Jin's sleeve, and looked at him with a gaze: "The prince pretended to be a cousin in his heart in those years. Although she failed the prince, I know that you still have deep affection for her. However, my cousin has passed away for so many years. Now that she has avenged her, isn't the prince still unwilling to accept me?"
"Don't mention her!" Xiao Jin turned his back and replied with a cold face.
Su Wan walked around him and cried, "No! I want to say these words, I have been holding them in my heart for so many years, and now I want to make it clear to the prince."
Xiao Jin's face was cold as ice, and he stood there without saying a word.
Su Wan continued: "You were the prince, the future emperor. If you didn't ask her if she wanted to marry her, she would ask for an order to marry her. But she was free and easy by nature and didn't like to be a future queen. She was trapped in the palace for the rest of her life and was bound by those cumbersome rules and etiquette. She had to accept the life of a husband with women in the three palaces, six courtyards, and she didn't want to live such a life. She cried and begged me to save her. I had no father or mother, and I grew up in the prime minister's house and could not repay her. Even though I knew that it would annoy you for this, I still softened my heart and agreed to her for a moment."
"Don't say anything more." Xiao Jin's scar, which seemed to have been slowly healed, was exposed again, and he felt heartbroken.
"But, I have married you for so many years, and you have given me the respect and wealth of a princess, but you have not given me the right and happiness of being a woman. I, Su Wan, have been deeply in love with you for so many years. Don't you think you are too cruel to me? You have deeply in love with my cousin, but she clearly let you down. I am the true love for you, and I am unswervingly in my love until death. I really don't understand where I, Su Wan, are not as good as her Su Mei?" The grievances of years surged out, and Su Wan cried miserably.
Xiao Jin took a long time to calm down, looked at Su Wan and said, "Although she has gone, I can't forget it. No one can compare with her in my heart."
"What about her? What about that woman? Since no one can compare with Su Mei, why can you accept me if you don't accept me?"
When talking about Mei'er, Su Wan couldn't help but feel angry and her voice became hysterical.
Xiao Jin was speechless for a moment and stood there in a hunch.
Su Wan hugged him and cried, "Please, can you give me a chance? I can give it to you as much as she can." As she said that, she reached out and unbuttoned her skirt, and her gorgeous outer skirt gently slid down, revealing a beautiful scenery.
Xiao Jin paused, bent down and put the slippery outer skirt on Su Wan again, turned around and left the main hall, leaving only a cold sentence, "I will give you what I should give, but don't force it if you can't give."
