Chapter 091 Applause
In a moment, the emperor's hearty laughter was heard in the hall, followed by the emperor and several envoys from Southern Liang arriving at the banquet hall.
Su Qingqing took a quick glance at the envoys sent to the Kingdom of Yan and found that they were all familiar faces.
One of them was Mu Ze, a fierce general of Southern Liang who had once made her drink on a big boat in the Jinshui River.
The head of the envoys was the ninth prince of Southern Liang.
After sitting down at the emperor's side and chatting with him for a few words, the Ninth Prince swept his eyes across the courtiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, and finally stopped at Rong Que. With a smile in his eyes, he clasped his fists towards Rong Que and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, on your marriage."
Rong Que returned the greeting with a smile and said nothing more.
The Ninth Prince's wife then looked towards Su Qingqing and said, "Seeing the Crown Princess is indeed believing. She is so stunningly beautiful that she can shame the moon and flowers. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so obsessed with her that he traveled thousands of miles from Nanzhao to marry her."
Rumors have long been circulating about how Su Qingqing became a princess married into a foreign kingdom.
When she mentioned these things at this moment, it was obvious that she was insulting them.
As soon as the show started, the couple became the center of attention. Su Qingqing glanced at Rong Que and smiled at the Ninth Prince's wife, "Thank you for the compliment."
The Ninth Prince's wife had a smile on her face but a frown on her heart.
You are so immodest, who is praising you?
Su Qingqing pretended not to understand what the other party was saying and concentrated on eating and drinking. Singing and dancing began. The dancers ' graceful dance moves and waving sleeves blocked the communication between the two sides of the guests. The Ninth Prince was concentrating on talking with the Emperor.
Qin Wanru put a small shrimp roll into her mouth and took a sip of osmanthus wine. "You have to be careful of the Ninth Prince's wife."
Su Qingqing tilted her head and smiled: "Can I believe what you said?"
Qin Wanru smiled calmly, "Then you should consider it yourself, lest you trust the wrong person and fall into trouble and then turn against me. After all, we are enemies in terms of our identities."
Su Qingqing didn't respond. Qin Wanru finished eating a piece of shrimp roll on the plate and said, "The Ninth Prince's wife came here once last year and became sworn sisters with Su Yunyun at that time."
Su Qingqing paused as she held the cup.
She roughly understood what Qin Wanru meant, "Are you afraid that Su Yunyun will be released from prison?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Wanru snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Afraid? What do I have to be afraid of? Let alone if she is released from prison, even if she enters the palace, the worst that can happen is that I will give her the position of the principal wife."
The tone of her voice simply showed that she didn't want the position of queen.
Su Qingqing fluttered her eyelashes in surprise.
During her lifetime, she had little contact with the young ladies in Kyoto. All she knew about Qin Wanru was that she was the eldest daughter of Qin Zhong, the former Minister of the Dali Temple, and that was all.
Qin Wanru lowered her voice and continued, " If Su Yunyun is released from prison, then Su Xiang will definitely be released as well, and you will be in trouble by then."
This person was actually delivering a message to her?
Why?
Su Qingqing could not imagine any interest relationship between herself and the Second Prince's wife, and could not imagine any grudges between Qin Zhong and the Second Prince, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you."
Qin Wanru chuckled, "You believe it quickly, and you're not afraid that I will hurt you."
Su Qingqing smiled faintly, "I just thanked you, I didn't say I believed you."
Qin Wanru turned to look at her, a smile flashing in her eyes, "You'd better believe me."
Su Qingqing raised her eyes and glanced across to see the Second Prince looking at them, his brows furrowed as if he was angry. Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Someone is looking at you."
Qin Wanru turned her head and stopped talking.
The singing and dancing soon ended. After the envoys from Southern Liang launched a round of commercial flattery of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Ninth Prince's wife glanced at the women opposite her, pulled the Ninth Prince's sleeve with some doubt, and lowered her head to speak in a low voice.
The Ninth Prince seemed surprised when he heard her words. He looked across the street, then turned to the Emperor with a puzzled look on his face, "Your Majesty, why don't you see Lord Su and his family?"
The emperor paused for a moment, "Lord Su has some private matters at home."
The Ninth Prince uttered an "oh" and patted the Ninth Prince's wife's hand beside him, then smiled at the Emperor and said, "We actually came here for a purpose as an envoy to ."
As he spoke, he laughed loudly, "My little prince's princess and Miss Su Yunyun of your dynasty are quite compatible. Since I left your dynasty last time, I have always been thinking about Miss Su Yunyun after I returned.
This time, my father wanted to arrange a marriage for our powerful general, General Mu Ze, and my princess recommended her best friend, so a few of us came to your dynasty to ask for someone from Your Majesty.
I wonder if Lord Su is reluctant to part with Miss Yunyun.
As long as Lord Su is willing and Your Majesty approves it, we have prepared a sufficient betrothal gift for our general this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.
Everyone present knows exactly what Su Yunhe's family did to deserve being thrown into jail.
Now……
The great general of Southern Liang came to get married here.
I have to say that Su Yunhe is so lucky.
The person who was thought to be completely defeated is now making a comeback?
The guests were speculating in different ways. The Duke of Zhenguo frowned and looked at the other party, thinking that this matter was a bit strange.
How come it was such a coincidence that someone from Nanliang came just when something happened to the Su family, and they came for this purpose.
It is obvious that they are here to rescue Su Yunhe's family.
Before the emperor spoke, the queen mother smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if you want to marry Su Yunyun, you will not only need the consent of His Majesty and Lord Su, but also beg our Crown Princess."
Her words made all the envoys from Southern Liang look at Su Qingqing in surprise and confusion.
Among the guests, low and mixed discussions immediately spread.
It was obvious what the Queen Mother meant. However, was it really appropriate to say such things at a banquet just to vent her anger and deal with Su Qingqing?
Of course, the Second Prince's party felt that nothing could be more appropriate than this.
But the princelings and those who remain neutral cannot stand it.
Su Qingqing didn't show any embarrassment on her face. After hearing what the Queen Mother said, she said to the Ninth Prince of Nanliang openly, "Are you curious? In fact, there is no secret about this matter. When I was newly married and came to the palace to offer tea, Su Yunyun put some medicine in the tea I served, which almost made me infertile.
I wasn't too angry, after all, I didn't really drink the tea.
But this incident happened in the Empress Dowager's bedroom after all.
The Empress Dowager was afraid that I would be wronged, so she threw Su Yunyun into jail immediately.
If you really want to marry her, then you should see how much the Queen Mother loves me."
Bang!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Su Qingqing's few words were like a few slaps in the face of the empress dowager in public.
After saying that, he looked at the Queen Mother with a smile: Are you satisfied?
If you dare to point at me, I will dare to shake you. The barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
The Queen Mother met this gaze and almost vomited blood.
In front of a hall full of people, Su Qingqing actually dared to speak to her like that. The empress dowager clenched her fists tightly and suppressed her anger and did not explode on the spot.
After Su Qingqing finished looking at the Queen Mother, she turned to the Ninth Prince's wife and said, "You and Su Yunyun are good friends~"
The word "ah" was pronounced with a long sound, and its meaning is self-evident.
Qin Wanru next to her just wanted to applaud Su Qingqing.
