Chapter 27 Su Zhaoxun's Sadness
After thirty years of drinking, the palace was filled with joy.
Even Prince Duan became active again. She sent a bunch of calligraphy and paintings to Queen Mother Han. Queen Mother Han was happy and took the opportunity to talk to the emperor and simply reinstate Prince Duan to his post.
The two brothers, the Crown Prince and Prince Duan, are fighting openly and secretly, and are at odds with each other. Even the Queen doesn't care about their affairs now. I don't know why the Queen Mother Han suddenly became involved in this matter.
Cen Jinxu was the first to speak up and said that the matter needed to be carefully considered before King Duan lifted the ban. He had offended the concubine in the past and should reflect on it carefully instead of rushing out to make trouble.
Prince Duan had a bad temper, and because of what Cen Jinxu said, he became furious on the spot. He pointed at Cen Jinxu's nose and scolded him.
The emperor sat in silence for a long time, until King Duan cursed loudly, then lost his temper, threw the cup and left the table angrily.
After the palace banquet is over, the palace guests return to their respective palaces.
The concubine was directly called to the Jiaofang Palace by Queen Mother Han's people. Su Wenyan accompanied the concubine back to the palace.
"Yan'er, you have something on your mind." Concubine Taisun suddenly said.
It turns out that she can't hide her thoughts like this.
Su Wenyan shook her head: "I drank two more glasses of wine today and I feel a little uncomfortable. It's okay."
The grandson didn't think so, thinking she was tired.
"Yes, you have been working hard for the past few days. I see that my mother-in-law is very satisfied with this palace banquet. She will definitely reward you after tomorrow."
"It's all the grandson's fault, I dare not accept it."
The concubine took a handkerchief and tapped her nose: "Don't imitate me. I don't know anything else, but I know one thing. After this time, His Highness will never ask you to be a little Zhao Xun again. Wait.
Just go ahead and His Highness will reward you."
After returning to Nuanxiang Pavilion, Su Wenyan was still a little confused.
Han Guangxiang holds such power, and we don’t know how long it will take to bring her down.
And she didn't know if she had the patience.
Perhaps Su Wenyan was so greedy that she felt her head hurt. She sat on the swing outside and suddenly wanted to get up and dance.
When Yu Sui went in to get her shawl, she came out and saw her master dancing in the courtyard.
I don't know what kind of dance it is, she has never seen it before.
It's strange, my girl is obviously not good at dancing, when did she learn this?
The thoughts quickly dissipated, and Yu Sui was immediately attracted by his master's dance music.
As graceful as a swimming dragon, like a startled giant.
After the dance, Su Wenyan stopped her hand, but the look of melancholy on her face lingered. When she raised her eyes, she saw several figures standing at the door.
Only then did he realize that it was Cen Jinxu who was here.
I think I stood there for a while.
"I am very frightened when I see Your Highness."
Cen Jinxu stood there from the beginning to the end of her dance, watching her entire dance.
It is clearly the Willow Dance in the south.
He has seen such a dance before, and he can dance better than her.
But no one tastes like her.
There is sadness everywhere in his eyebrows, as if he has endless thoughts.
What is she worried about?
Are you worried that he won't come to Nuanxiang Pavilion for a few days, or are you worried that he has treated her too slowly?
Cen Jinxu had just finished dealing with King Duan's affairs, and he was not in a good mood at the moment.
"Su Zhaoxun, why are you looking so sad?" he asked.
Su Wenyan quickly cleared away the sadness on her face and went to his side to salute.
"Your Highness has made a mistake. Now that the world is at peace and the palace is at peace, why should I, my concubine, worry?"
She didn't dare to admit it yet.
Cen Jinxu hugged her sideways.
Su Wenyan couldn't help but exclaimed.
"I know what you're worried about. I'm worried too. Come into the house."
Cen Jinxu was only focused on fighting with King Duan tonight, so he didn't even eat enough.
Wang Dehuai passed a small meal, and Su Wenyan served him.
Not only did he want to eat, but he also wanted to drink wine, so he asked her to take out all the dewdrop wine from the bottom of the box.
Su Wenyan had no other choice, even though she was a little reluctant to give up, she still took out a bottle of wine and made it.
After a glass of wine, Cen Jinxu felt a little happier.
"Su Zhaoxun, please tell me, during today's banquet, what he scolded Prince Duan was right or not."
During the banquet, King Duan scolded Cen Jinxu for being too ambitious and making all the decisions for the prince. He had no father and no king, and was headstrong and selfish. He was a wolf's ambition.
The words were scolded so harshly that even the emperor couldn't bear to listen.
He actually asked about her.
Su Wenyan thought for a while and then answered.
"It seems that what King Duan said was correct."
Cen Zhenxu was so angry that her heart ached and she couldn't drink any more.
His eyebrows were bent with anger.
"Gu Zhen has really hurt you in vain. What did you say? Say it again."
Su Wenyan poured wine into his glass.
"Don't be upset, Your Highness. Most people will not say this to you. You understand that people who are good for you dare not say this to you. People who don't understand this truth both respect you and fear you, let alone you."
I am the only one who has anything to say to you. I feel that at least half of what King Duan said is right."
Cen Jinxu pressed his hand down and looked at her intently.
Su Wenyan served him two more side dishes and then sat down.
"Prince Duan said that you are self-willed and ambitious. I don't agree with this. Prince Duan said that you make the decision for the prince in everything. This is probably true. I don't usually see you, but the palace servants below often talk about it. They say
You worry so much that you even bother with the prince's meals. Do you think the palace lady's words are still false?"
Cen Jinxu took a sip of the wine in his glass.
After listening to Su Wenyan's words, she was silent for a long time, lost in thought, and her face didn't look good.
Su Wenyan got up and didn't want to disturb him anymore. She just asked the palace people to start taking away the meals, and asked Yinhuan to prepare hot water.
Cen Jinxu didn't look happy until he took a bath and sat in the barrel.
Su Wenyan personally helped him bathe, ladling hot water and pouring it on his shoulders.
Cen Jinxu slowly opened his eyes.
"The prince is kind and always hesitant in doing things. If I didn't make decisions for him early on, I'm afraid he would be chewed to the bone by King Duan."
Su Wenyan put down the water ladle and began to rub his forehead.
"I believe that Your Highness has his own ideas when doing things, so no matter what others say, I only believe in Your Highness. Since His Highness understands in his heart, he should not be unhappy anymore, and he should not take his words seriously at the dinner table."
Cen Jinxu intuitively felt that he had been deceived by her.
And once I figured it out, I felt a lot better.
After the bath, he carried her to bed.
While caressing her, I realized that she had lost a lot of weight.
"It seems that you have worked hard these past few days with the grandson's concubine in hosting palace banquets. In a few days, you will be well raised by me. I still love you when you look plumper."
Su Wenyan took the opportunity to say another word of thanks.
"Your Highness is very interested. I have learned a lot from following my great-grandson concubine. I must thank my great-grandson concubine tomorrow."
"The person you should be grateful for the most is Gu. Hug Gu, say less, and bear it with your heart."
He was very restrained tonight.
It only took two dips of water outside and it was over.
After bathing and changing clothes, he carried her to the couch. The two of them were covered only by a blanket. Looking up, they could see the vast starry sky outside the window. He held her, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
