Chapter 013 No Makeup
The noise in Su Qingqing's bedroom quickly reached Concubine Rou.
Although I don't know what they said specifically, I can guess a thing based on the fact that Su Heng stayed with Su Qingqing all night.
Princess Qingyang's face turned pale with anger. "Mother, father is too partial. We are both princesses, but why can't he bear to part with Su Qingqing but only with me?"
Concubine Rou stroked Princess Qingyang's back soothingly, and said calmly, "Don't worry, with mother here, I will never let you really go to the Great Yan Kingdom."
"Mother, do you have a solution?" Princess Qingyang was startled, and joy immediately filled her misty eyes.
Concubine Rou smiled and said, "Yes."
"Then I pretend to be sick and don't go hunting tomorrow?"
Concubine Rou shook her head, "Go, why not go? Go openly! Not only do you have to go, you also have to show that you love Murong Que."
Princess Qingyang frowned in confusion.
Concubine Rou said, "The more you show your love for Murong Que, the more others will think that you have already accepted this marriage.
So when Su Qingqing becomes the one to marry, everyone will think that she stole your marriage!"
Princess Qingyang suddenly realized, "This way, not only will my father not blame me for not going to the marriage, but he will feel that I have been wronged!"
"more than."
"more than?"
Concubine Rou ruffled Princess Qingyang's hair and said, "Mother will make her own arrangements. You just need to follow her on the hunt tomorrow."
Princess Qingyang returned to her bedroom with peace of mind.
As soon as she left, Concubine Rou immediately wrote a note and ordered someone to send it out of the palace to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
At this time, the post house palace.
Rong Que was sitting behind a large desk, flipping through a local gazetteer of the Zhao State when Ming Lu came in from outside with an anxious look on his face.
The door opened and closed again, Minglu strode forward, "Your Highness, our people have been released."
Rong Que paused for a moment while reading. This Princess Rongyang wasn't that great either. "Did they handle it?"
"No, Princess Rongyang released them without even asking any questions, and even asked them to bring you two words."
Now, Rong Que's gaze moved away from the book and looked at the bright road.
Ming Lu pursed his lips and looked at his Highness. "Princess Rongyang, is your Highness satisfied with the test?"
Rong Que was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
I actually guessed it!
Pinching his brows and throwing the book on the table, Rong Que asked with great interest, "What about the other sentence?"
Ming Lu pursed his lips again, "Another sentence, Princess Rongyang said that if His Highness is satisfied, then it depends on whether His Highness has the ability to take the person away."
Ming He stood behind Rong Que and said, "Your Highness, she provoked you!"
Rong Que raised the corner of his mouth, "It's a provocation."
"Your Highness, please don't be fooled by her!" Minghe said with a loyal look on his face.
"If you don't fall for her trick, how can you take the person away?"
"Your Highness, do you really want to choose her? Even if she is different from what is rumored, she looks like a troublemaker. She stole the limelight at the palace banquet today. Wouldn't it cause trouble for us if we bring such a person back?"
Rong Que looked towards Ming Lu, "What do you think?"
Minglu looked at Minghe as if he was caring for a mentally retarded child, "Minghe knows that Princess Rongyang was able to capture your Highness's people, and yet she still said such things. Then maybe Lord Xiang also thinks that Princess Rongyang is a troublemaker."
After a pause, Ming Lu continued, "However, there is news from the palace that Princess Rongyang has been confined by the Emperor of Zhao State, so she will definitely not be able to go on the hunting trip tomorrow.
The Emperor of Zhao has always favored Princess Rongyang, and I'm afraid he won't agree to let her marry."
Ming He, who had just been very disgusted with Princess Rong Yang, immediately said after hearing this: "If he says no, then no? Our Highness has the final say on this matter."
Minglu looked at him again with concern, "We have to discuss this matter with the adults."
Rong Que said nothing more, and only ordered: "Send a set of horse clothing to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for Miss Dou."
Minglu received the order and turned around and left.
…
Su Qingqing slept until dawn.
"Find a harness and put it out!"
Jixiang was about to step forward to serve when he received this spirited order. He hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, please don't argue with His Majesty. If nothing else, you should feel sorry for the Fourth Prince. He stayed with you all night yesterday. When I saw him in the morning, his eyes were red."
Su Qingqing said, "Don't worry, I will not leave this door without the eunuch's order!"
Jixiang: ...I believe in your ghost!
Before he could finish his complaint, he heard footsteps outside, followed by the eunuch from the imperial study who was led in.
"Pass on His Majesty's order. Today's hunting will start at 9:00 p.m. If Your Highness wishes to go, he must not be late."
auspicious:!
As soon as the eunuch who delivered the decree left, Jixiang stared at Su Qingqing, his tongue hanging open in shock, "Your Highness, how do you know that His Majesty will agree?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "I don't know. Didn't I tell you that I won't go out unless my father agrees?"
Jixiang: ...Do you think I believe it?
Su Qingqing: Just don’t believe it!
As they were talking, Su Heng came in with a sullen face, looking like a worried old man.
It was just as Jixiang said, after staying up all night, the child's eyes were red.
Su Qingqing rarely felt the care from her family, especially such direct care right in front of her. Her heart softened and she said to Su Heng, "You idiot, did you really stay up all night? Don't you know to sleep for a while and let your attendants keep watch?"
Su Heng pulled a chair and sat down in a bad mood, staring at Su Qingqing, "What's the point of waiting all night? You still have to go today!"
Feeling the boy's anger, Su Qingqing couldn't help laughing and teased him, "It's not that I have to go. My father has issued an order!"
Su Heng glared at her fiercely, "Don't talk to Rong Que when you get there, and don't show off like you did yesterday. Just follow me!"
Su Qingqing immediately imitated the little maid and helped him up, "Yes, Your Highness!"
Su Heng's face turned pale with anger, and he glared at her again, "What nonsense!"
Su Qingqing raised her hand and rubbed Su Heng's head.
Su Qingqing, who had never spent much time with her family, just thought this child was so cute.
Su Heng immediately jumped up and yelled angrily, "Su Qingqing!"
Su Qingqing continued cheerfully, "Good brother."
Jixiang brought Su Qingqing's riding clothes over. Su Heng saw the bright red color and his eyelids jumped. "You are not allowed to wear this!"
Su Qingqing asked knowingly, "Why?"
Su Heng said unhappily, "Do you know how long those men stared at you at the palace banquet last night? Wearing such a dazzling outfit today , Rong Que is not blind, what if he insists on choosing you!"
How many men can resist the beauty of his sister!
"Also, don't wear a headdress that's too eye-catching." After a pause, Su Heng glanced at Su Qingqing's decorative box, "Just don't wear it!"
Jixiang, who was picking out a bunch of jade earrings, trembled and secretly put the earrings back.
Your Highness is right!
It’s better not to wear it.
Under Su Heng's supervision, Su Qingqing finally wore a khaki riding suit and tied her hair up high in a ponytail.
In the sunshine, he looks heroic.
Su Heng: ...Not charming anymore, but seems to have turned to another kind of beauty!
What should I do if my sister is too beautiful? Waiting online! Urgent!
