Chapter 317 called sister-in-law

Zhao Su this day, took Cheng Zhuyun in the Ministry of Ceremonies to read the file. From time to time, someone also came to do business, brought a lot of outside news. When it was time to leave the office, even Cheng Zhuyun couldn’t help but say, “I heard that all the families in the city have given invitations to the Weiyuan Marquis’ residence, so will the Qingyun Marquis’ residence have arrangements as well.”

Zhao Su said, “This is etiquette, naturally there will be. What’s wrong?”

Cheng Zhuyun revealed a bit of shame: “It’s not anything important, it’s that I heard that before the Princess went on her journey in the past, the old Taoist Master of Baiyun Guan once gifted a volume of ‘The Scripture of Degreeing Human Beings’ to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, which is said to have originally been one of the eight treasures of the Baiyun Scripture, and was passed down through many generations, and those who copied and glorified the Scripture were all able to benefit from it.

“This period of time our family much not peaceful, first I, then my second brother, my mother labor for us, this time it happens that the Marquis of Wei Yuan has returned, so I want to borrow this volume of the sutra from them, and copy a copy of it.”

Zhao Su dawned on him, “You want to meet the Weiyuan Marquis?”

“He is a minister in the court, I don’t think it would be that easy for me to meet him, if I have the chance to meet County Lord Yanping, I would already be grateful.”

Zhao Su thought for a moment, although it seems that Cheng Zhu Yun is not familiar with the Huo siblings, Cheng Lang is Empress Dowager Lu’s person, so I’m sure that Yanping will be able to give this face. Of course, directly to find the Empress Dowager Lu this can certainly be done, but in this way, the Huo family siblings want to give must give, let her to be the intermediary to ask, at least will not offend people.

She said: “I go back to ask the family, determine the day to invite you over. At that time, you ask her yourself.”

“Thank you!” Cheng Zhuyun looks like he didn’t expect her to be so quick, and quickly thanked her, “I will not let the girl have a hard time, and when the time comes to explore the county princess, that is, it’s inconvenient for her to lend out, then I’ll take it as coming out to make friends for a while.”

Zhao Su nodded: “It doesn’t matter.”

After agreeing to this matter, she returned to the residence and went directly to her great-uncle mother Xing’s house to inquire about the details.

Coincidentally, Xing and her sister-in-law Yu were both there, and they were looking at the post sent by the Marquis’ steward: “This is not a good time for us to decide. I heard that early in the morning Marquis Jingnan personally went to Marquis Weiyuan’s residence to make an invitation, and then Marquis Weiyuan took the county princess to the old master’s residence. Their schedule must be very tight, we still have to wait for the post to be sent over to see how they decide.”

Zhao Su took a look at the content of the post, “Hosting a banquet in the Begonia Garden? And invited guests and actors? So grand?”

Yu looks at her lightly, “You are the Empress-to-be, and the Huo family is also a relative-to-be, so it’s only proper to make such preparations, how can you be the same as the other families?”

Zhao Su let out a cry.

After she went out, Yu looked at Xing: “I heard that county princess Yanping went to the palace after coming out from the Luo family, and the empress dowager has already arranged for her to stay at the palace, so she will definitely comply. If we don’t take out the air of the quasi-Queen’s mother’s family, won’t it boost their reputation even more?”

While collecting the post, Xing slowly said, “Why don’t you say you are still young? It’s not appropriate to be too grand or too restrained at a time like this. Just follow the rules and get it just right. If we go too far, outsiders will be able to see that we have a weak heart.”

Yu slightly blushed after listening: “Mother’s advice is right.”

Xing smiles and hands her the post, “Have your fourth uncle send it to the Huo family.”

Yu took it, but still couldn’t help but be curious: “Isn’t second uncle going to deliver it himself? I’ve seen Marquis Jingnan go by himself.”

“The Yu family and the Huo family originally had the friendship of the same robe, it would have been different. However,” here Xing’s brows also still knit, “even so, as an elder, this move seems fanciful. –Perhaps it’s because the Emperor has assigned him to assist the Marquis of Wei Yuan in investigating the case this time.”

After Yu heard this, she cleared her throat again and glanced at her, and bravely whispered, “Yesterday I heard a gossip about the Yu family. Said …… the Yu family house first concubine a few rooms fight fiercely, Jingnan Marquis Mrs. room is not peaceful.”

Xing’s retracted his gaze, sighed: “A Yu Qingping caused a few young ladies in the family marriage are affected, the commoner is not an oil lamp, when the Yu Qingping that thing made a lot of noise, is not there to help the work of the waves? Now the first girl of their family marriage is not settled, can be peaceful is strange.

“- By the way, what’s the matter with Sumi’s son? He’s been dragging his feet and refusing to get married. Finding a suitable young lady to match him early will put people’s minds at ease.”

Yu smiled: “He ah, I think mother need not worry about him, or first think of a way to let the second uncle as soon as possible to complete the marriage.”

Xing’s worried: “I’ll turn around and go sit in the medical center.”

……

Zhao Su out of the palace in the morning, the emperor just drank two bowls of soup, beating around the bush to ask her what she did these two days to eat, Zhao Su heard what he played in his heart.

Back to the room to rest, look at the color of the day almost, she will take the carriage into the palace. On the imperial kitchen whole a few of the emperor’s favorite dishes, brought to the Qianqing Palace.

At this time the evening sky, the setting sun like a layer of gold dust in the palace city, everywhere is golden. Into July, the heat seems to subside some, not so moving rut let a person sweat.

Zhao Su briskly into the palace door, only to see the emperor side leaning on the window, the expression of lazy with the house to say something, the afterglow saw this side, will cast his eyes over, after a short pause on Zhao Su smiled a smile.

Zhao Su accelerated his steps and crossed the door: ”What are you smiling at? There’s nothing to tease me, carefully I–”

Without finishing her sentence, she stood inside the threshold with her skirt, looking at the silhouette under the curtain bar, and suddenly stared blankly.

From the emperor a distance of ten feet away, stood a plain-clothed girl, her long hair thick as ink, piled up on top of the head, and under the bun, a face as beautiful as a paintbrush depicted from.

She is holding a few pieces of paper, although she is standing, but the rotor is very casual, before Zhao Su came in, should be in an extremely relaxed conversation with the emperor. So much so that it was suddenly interrupted, her body still maintained the posture of an easy flower stand. A cherry mouth slightly open, seems to be very surprised.

Zhao Su had a surge of heart blood for no reason, and his eyes gazed at this face, widening.

“Call sister-in-law.”

The emperor slowly moved over, naturally and freely so anpai, and added, “This is sister-in-law Yu.”

Huo Mingyu, who had been named, clearly appeared to have a hint of nervousness in her demeanor, her body standing up straight in a very ceremonial manner. Zhao Su couldn’t help but swallow her throat as well, working her a few times before averting her gaze from her face.

“Yu’er pays her respects to imperial sister-in-law.”

Huo Mingyu shortened her body and bowed down.

Zhao Su hurriedly reaches out to help her, and after she stands up, she looks at this face for a while longer before standing up straight.

This beautiful face that one could not pick fault with, but it made her heart feel like she had poked a hole in it, and a vague wave surge floated up through it, interspersed with many vague shadows that jumped between consciousnesses.
