Chapter 323 – Mother-in-law’s Favor

Duan Shu smiles when he sees this, “This Miss Yu family is interesting.”

Huo Mingyu walks outside as she speaks, “Second brother that’s the interesting thing to say, how can people sending me two pots of flowers be called interesting?”

“You don’t know, the Yu family this full-fledged young lady from a young age by Mrs. Marquis Jingnan strict discipline, when the scholar family’s young lady general training, do not practice martial arts, specializing in reading to cultivate the body, usually not very out, invited the female teacher in the house to teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, was originally to discuss the marriage, coincidentally, a few months ago out of the matter of the Yu Qingping, which discusses the marriage is blocked, the second girl is more not to go out. Now you just returned to the capital, she sent flowers, this is not interesting?”

Duan Shu spreads out his hands, looking as if things are obvious.

Huo Mingyu glances at Huo Xiu again and beeps, “Second brother does his best to pry into these gossips.”

“It can’t be helped, a few days ago when you guys hadn’t entered the capital yet, I went around collecting clues, and as a result, the clues weren’t found, and I inquired about these instead.” Duan Shu shook his head and sighed, and said: “But you do not have to care, I remember the Yu family from the past and our family is not so close, this time so enthusiastic, presumably because the Marquis of Jingnan Yu Qingping was punished for the matter, and wanted to assist in the investigation of the case of the opportunity to wrestle with the emperor a good feeling just.”

Huo Mingyu shrugged her shoulders and didn’t comment. She thought that Duan Shu also saw the intention of Mrs. Marquis Jingnan, but it turns out that this Bean is just wary of Marquis Jingnan’s proximity.

……

The Marquis of Qingyun’s residence today invited the guests to accompany the Minister of Rites Zhang Yu’s family, Fang Qingxue’s couple, and then two military generals with their families to go. Because Zhao Su wanted to invite Cheng Zhuyun, even the Cheng family was invited. And because Cheng Lang’s boss is He Zong, if the Marquis of Qingyun directly invited Cheng Lang, who is so much lower in rank, for fear that he would be uncomfortable and also discredit He Zong, so they were invited.

Because of the rest day, is the day of the Empress Dowager Lu to listen to all sides of the gossip, know that the Marquis of Qingyun to entertain the Huo family siblings, crookedly sitting on the terrace of the tea she paused after a meal, said: “Gao Shou, you let Sun Lan and Pang Qiu two to the Marquis of Qingyun to go to the side of Sister Sue wait.”

Gao Shu slightly confused to go up: “Earlier the Ministry of Rites mentioned let the palace to send sisters to the marquis house, the empress dowager said there is no need to detain the vegetarian girl, let her love how to do how. Now how suddenly ……”

“Loss you in the mourning family around so long, this do not understand.” Empress Lu shuffled off the ground, slowly stepped into the flowers, “Zhao Ke this is to treat the guests with the courtesy of relatives, is to show good Xiu brother child them. He’s a good person, how can we lose face with Su Ya’s face? In the end, she’s my Lu family’s daughter-in-law-to-be, so she has to act like the Lu family’s daughter-in-law-to-be.”

Gao Shu suddenly realized, quickly hooked the head to go.

Empress Dowager Lu stroked the flowers twice, and then reached out and said: “Bring scissors.”

Luo Yun personally brought the scissors, “This morning, the palace has already replaced the new flower arrangement. I don’t know where the Empress Dowager is going?”

“Yongshou Palace.”

Luo Yun slightly silent: “The county princess proposed to live in Wei Yuan Hou, the empress dowager has also promised.”

“That does not matter. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a place for the little princess to live in the future.”

Luo Yun smiled at his words, his eyes warm: “The emperor has not taken the initiative to look for Su girl these days, I had worried about a, did not think that yesterday will be supervised to receive the emperor’s hand-painted head appearance, think the empress dowager is looking forward to the little princess, can be as expected.” Finished she looked at the Empress Dowager Lu: “Empress Dowager heart bright as a mirror, and sincerely treat everyone around, let a person admire.”

Empress Dowager Lu laughed lightly, and then said, “But I always feel that the two of them have had too smooth a journey. A relationship that hasn’t undergone trials and tribulations isn’t that strong. It’s like a brick, a clay pot, or a gold mine, it won’t work unless it’s roasted by fire. If two people want to be stable for a long time, they have to carry things together.”

Luo Yun slightly pause: “The relationship is smooth, should be a blessing. His Majesty and Miss Su are in love with each other, how do they still need to be honed?”

“Because life is not just about love. When you become a family, you have to work hard for the family. You have to know how to protect yourself from the wind and rain, and how to rely on others.” Empress Lu cut a branch of hibiscus into the bamboo basket, slowly voice, “Recently this series of things on the court, look at the harm is not big, but the back is hidden storm. And who knows, who is it really aimed at, and what does he want to do?”

Luo Yun suddenly realized: “The Empress Dowager has not been very much asked, actually want to let the Emperor and Miss Su try to join forces?”

Empress Dowager Lu was silent, seriously studying the flowers on the tree.

Luo Yun murmured: “The murderer on the side of the Imperial Tomb has not been settled, the Cheng family’s case has not yet been resolved, with the Weiyuan Marquis and the county princess returned to the capital, recently in the city are all about the Princess and their family discussion. Coincidentally, the Princess’s armor is in the middle of a few things, the Emperor and the Marquis of Wei Yuan’s sword competition and encountered someone to provoke, I also secretly pray that the Princess’s armor is not fall into the hands of the people behind the scenes to be good, – if so, then it must be aimed at the entire Lu family.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Empress Dowager Lu picked a few flowers and cut them down consecutively before putting down the scissors, then she gazed at her eyebrows facing the depths of the sea of clouds, “However, I still think that Zhaoyun’s death back then was too opportune.”

……

Zhao Su today, along with Xing’s reception of the ladies, Xing also has the intention to start bringing her to socialize, after all, next year will have to sit on the phoenix chair to receive the destined wife. Just when they were talking about various things in the house, Zhao Ha came in quickly: “Su Sister-er quickly go out, the empress dowager sent Eunuch Gao to send two palace sisters, and there are also words to explain!”

Generally, Empress Dowager Lu didn’t have this kind of battle, so Zhao Su thought something big had happened and immediately got up. Xing did not dare to make a mistake, also went with it.

Just out of the courtyard door, I saw two familiar sisters already in the house steward led in! And before them, there was Gao Shu, and after them, there were a few small eunuchs accompanying them, the appearance of seriousness and seriousness to explain things.

When Gao Shu arrived in front of Zhao Su, he immediately smiled: “I greet Miss Su.”

Zhao Su stepped forward, “Eunuch Gao, what’s going on here?”

“I was ordered by the Empress Dowager to bring Sister Sun and Sister Pang to serve you. From today onwards, these two will continue to receive the same status in Ci Ning Palace, but will only be dispatched by the girl. This is the Empress Dowager’s decree.” Gao Shu presented a silk book with both hands, and turned around to indicate, “Two Sisters, come and pay your respects to the girl.”

“Slave girl has met the girl.”

Marquis women can be recognized, Sun Lan, Pang Qiu these two can be Ci Ning Palace served for many years of the old man. At this time, they respectfully fell down in front of her, the face is still smiling faintly, Zhao Su was busy helping them up: “What is the reason for this? Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly issue this decree?”

Sister Sun was a bit older, she first smiled and said, “The Empress Dowager said that the girl is the daughter-in-law-to-be of the palace, there is no room for error, and you can’t always have a few young maids around to wait on her, so she specially sent us to serve the girl.”

Xing’s insightful, after hearing this, she was instantly moved to urge Zhao Su: “Still not quick to thank you for your grace!”
