Chapter 2 Entering the Eastern Palace
Su Wenyan rested in the mansion for three full days before she finally regained her composure.
Everyone in the government thought she was sick because of her failure to win the election, and no one took her seriously. Only Su Wenyan herself knew what she had gone through.
The decline of the once glorious Su Mansion was also related to the heirs in the mansion. Su Wenyan's father was a sixth-rank official and was dispensable in the court.
My aunt died early, and her two younger brothers were useless.
Only the legitimate daughter in this family is not only well-born, but also has an amazing appearance, and an extremely strong personality. Her two younger brothers both fear and respect her.
Su Wenyan couldn't get out of bed until today, and she drank some tea to concentrate, when she heard Yuhuan, who was waiting for her closely, arguing with others outside.
"Second Young Master, please don't bother our girl. She is ill and will be better."
Outside, Su Ruohuai laughed playfully: "I came just because I heard that she is feeling better today. Don't stop me. I have something to say to eldest sister."
Yuhuan couldn't stop him and asked Su Ruohuai to break in.
"Sister, look at you. Didn't you just lose the election? Didn't you just get scolded by dad? Why compete with yourself like that? Are you tired? Last time, you lost to Wang's daughter in a poem.
You were so angry that you were still ill for half a month and had a high fever that didn't go away, but you didn't scare me to death."
That's right, it was after the high fever refused to subside last time that Su Qing wore it.
At this moment, Su Wenyan was drinking tea quietly, not at all angry at Su Ruohuai's words, and asked him calmly.
"Did you lose money again?"
One sentence knocked Su Ruohuai down.
"What are you talking about? How dare I gamble again after being scolded by my eldest sister last time...This time it's not about fighting crickets, it's just that I have taken a fancy to a good-looking parrot..."
Yuhuan couldn't be more angry. She knew her girl's suffering best: "Second Young Master, our girl has no money anymore. You can go find the master!"
The dowry left to Su Wenyan by her deceased aunt in the family was not much. Mr. Su even had enough money to support the family, but the two young masters in the family squandered it as much as they could.
Su Wenyan put down her tea cup.
"Yuhuan, go and take out the key from the jade box."
The key to the warehouse is here. Su Wenyan looked at Su Ruohuai and said calmly: "Second brother, the dowry my mother left for me is in the warehouse. You can take it and divide it with your third brother."
Su Ruohuai picked up the key, her face was happy, but she was a little hesitant: "Sister, this..."
"After we are separated, whether you live or die from now on will have nothing to do with me. From now on, just treat me as your sister and don't come looking for trouble with me again."
Su Ruohuai wanted to pick up the key, but looking at the eldest sister today, she was completely different from the usual one who always scolded her.
Not only was he not trained this time, he was left to fend for himself.
what happened.
He is used to being trained, so wouldn’t he be happy if he didn’t?
Shivering all over, Su Ruohuai put the key back.
"Sister, I know you must have bad ideas in your heart. I don't dare to take this key. Also, how can you say such nonsense? Don't you often say that this family can't survive without you? My third brother and I are both useless.
.In this case, you can’t ignore us in the future.”
Su Wenyan felt that he had a clear understanding of herself.
As soon as Su Anhuai mentioned the good-for-nothing old man, he carried the bird cage into the house.
"Sister...Second brother, you are here too." Su Anhuai showed the sparrow to Su Wenyan, "Look at this sparrow. It is fat and round. It is of the highest quality. It must taste delicious. I will braise it in a while. You can try it."
Try my handiwork."
Su Anhuai has a fair face, a round face, and a childish look. She is cute and handsome. She has not been able to study in her life. She loves to tinker in the kitchen. If she sees something new, she wants to take it home and stew it.
In the words of the original owner, it means he is ignorant and incompetent.
Su Ruohuai was shocked: "This is not the king bird from the bird market. Where did you get the money to buy such a rare thing? Did you steal the eldest sister's private money again?"
Su Anhuai waved his hand: "No, this bird king was given to me by His Highness the Grand Sun."
Su Ruohuai and Su Wenyan were both surprised: "Grandson?"
Su Ruohuai didn't believe it: "Grandson, hey, why didn't you say that His Highness the Crown Prince gave it to you? It would be more decent. Didn't you listen to the rumors that our great grandson is extremely intelligent and noble in character, and is most loved by the emperor? He
Will you still visit the bird market?”
Neither of them noticed that Su Wenyan's hands were shaking slightly.
When Su Wenyan mentioned this name, she remembered what happened that day, and her heart became knotted.
Su Anhuai didn't want to talk to him and moved closer to Su Wenyan.
"Sister, do you believe me? His Majesty the Grand Sun met me today and even talked to me."
"What did you say?" Su Wenyan asked in a weak tone.
"He said, what he said was very strange. He said that I look a bit similar." Su Anhuai's two grape-sized eyes showed clear stupidity, "Sister, what does he mean by this? Who do I look like?"
His great-grandson Cen Jinxu passed by the bird market today and met the children of the Su family. Only then did he remember the daughter of the Su family who had made him so happy a few days ago.
These days are too busy and there are too many government affairs to deal with flawlessly. Only now do I have the thought to make arrangements.
So in the evening, the Su Mansion received an imperial edict to welcome Su's eldest daughter into the East Palace and select her as the grandson's concubine.
The daughter of the Su family was specially ordered to enter the palace immediately without any delay.
It was so urgent that the whole family felt like they were struck by thunder.
There was both sadness and joy in the house, but Father Su was happy. He packed Su Wenyan up in a hurry and put her on the sedan chair.
It's me who is sad. What happened to me like this makes me dumbfounded.
They couldn't wait to see how Su Wenyan would react. The speed at which Dong Palace acted was staggering.
Cen Jinxu acted like this, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He was the one who left her alone for three days, and he was also the one who hurriedly carried her into the East Palace.
I was still a little confused during the whole process. I got on the sedan chair and opened the curtain, only to see two younger brothers at home, one competing and the other crying.
It was strange that the two of them were not happy when they approached the great-grandson. According to Mr. Su's words, it was like climbing a high branch.
evening.
Cen Jinxu had been drinking for over thirty years, but he still didn't suppress his anger.
General Chenghua, who was the same age as him, was at the table, half mocking and half comforting.
"Save it, you can't save the Liu family. It's a blessing to be demoted. At this juncture, the emperor won't listen to anyone, but don't worry, your sweetheart, I will protect her and make it to the north.
"
The talented woman of the Liu family is the sweetheart of the grandson. The two were childhood sweethearts, and no one wanted to end up like this.
Wang Dehuai sent his grandson to Nuanxiang Pavilion and said that His Highness is omnipotent, but in fact, there are things that he cannot do.
Cen Jinxu pushed the door open and walked in. Su Wenyan was removing her makeup in front of the bronze mirror. When she heard the sound, she turned around and was startled.
Just watch people by candlelight.
Su's face, without makeup, looks similar to that person's, but not very different. What's similar is the appearance, but what's different is the demeanor.
That person wouldn't look at people like that, his eyes were very charming and seductive.
Cen Jinxu pressed her in front of the bronze mirror and took off her shirt.
After all, this was Su Wenyan's first time banning personnel, and it was also the first time last time. When she thought about it, she only remembered that he was too arrogant and ferocious, and she was subconsciously afraid.
"Your Highness, I am not well yet..."
Cen Jinxu smelled of alcohol: "Really, let's see...it's really a lie, Su, how can I punish you if you want to be alone?"
He had started to bite her ear beads.
"Your Highness, if it really doesn't work, let's go to the couch."
"Wherever I say you are, that's where you are. Just lie down for me."
After this, Su Wenyan asked for water four times during the night. In the end, Su Wenyan's voice became hoarse and she fell asleep.
Late at night, Cen Jinxu went to the study again after hearing the sound of greed.
Wang Dehuai couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.
This Su family is really amazing. You must know that the reason why Taisun is so favored is entirely because he is diligent and never misses the point.
It's already midnight, and those official documents haven't been approved yet. Now, I'm really busy.
