Chapter 24: Quarrel
Su Qingqing looked at her through the bronze mirror, with a sneer on her lips, "I'll wait!"
Palace maid:!
No matter how aggrieved and angry the nanny felt, she dared not say a word. She combed her hair quickly and helped Su Qingqing change into her wedding dress. Just as she was ready, the matchmaker's festive voice came in.
Auspicious time has arrived~
The bride adds a veil
A bright red veil embroidered with peonies and phoenixes in gold thread fell on Su Qingqing's head.
As agreed last night, Jixiang stayed in the mansion to take care of Su Jinghe and waited to pick up Qiuyue in the evening. Su Qingqing only brought two other maids and walked out of the room with the help of the bridesmaid.
From beginning to end, she didn't say a word to ask the palace maid to get up.
It was still raining heavily outside.
Fortunately, someone had already built a rain shelter with oil paper. The absurd wedding was doomed to be absurd from the beginning.
Su Qingqing moved out of the guest room of the Prince's Mansion and married into the main courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this!
Fortunately, neither of the two parties cared, so the humiliation became a lonely humiliation.
Su Qingqing had been through all kinds of hardships during the years of fighting and killing, but getting married was something she felt was more difficult than killing enemies thousands of miles away.
Wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal gown and golden boots, she worked from dawn to dusk.
All the necessary procedures were completed. When the bridesmaid left the bridal chamber, Su Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and lifted the veil from her head. In no time, she took off the heavy jewelry on her head.
Jixiang stood to one side, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Your Highness, this is inappropriate, isn't it? Shouldn't the crown prince be the one to lift the veil?"
Su Qingqing took a deep breath and lay on her back on the bed, "The prince may not come. Besides, it will be a long time before he comes. Where is Jinghe?"
Su Qingqing's familiarity in reading out Su Jinghe's name made Jixiang's eyelids jump. He pursed his lips and said, "She is in my room. She has recovered from the fever and is fine. Miss Qiuyue is with her. By the way, Your Highness, many people in the mansion saw Miss Qiuyue coming here today. They even asked me what Miss Qiuyue was doing here."
Su Qingqing asked while lying down: "What did you say?"
"This slave girl says, it's none of your business."
Su Qingqing chuckled, "Well said."
Jixiang poured tea for Su Qingqing. Su Qingqing stood up and took it, leaning back on the soft pillow and drinking it in small sips.
Jixiang sat on the small round stool opposite Su Qingqing and continued to report, "It was when Second Miss Su woke up today and saw that we were here, she insisted on leaving no matter what. I had no choice but to... just..."
Jixiang looked at Su Qingqing's expression.
Su Qingqing only needed to think about it for a moment before she knew why Jixiang was hesitating. "Did you knock him out?"
Jixiang: " ... Yeah, but I didn't use too much strength, really!"
"fine."
Seeing that her master spoke so calmly, Jixiang asked tentatively, "Really? But I feel that Your Highness seems to value this Second Miss Su very much. I thought Your Highness wanted to punish me."
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "If you let him go, I will really punish you."
Jixiang stared stupidly, "Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be unhappy if we bring someone here so suddenly?"
Not willing?
If Rong Que didn't want to, she wouldn't have been able to bring him back last night.
"No." Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, go see if Miss Su Er is asleep. If not, ask her to come over and talk."
After a pause, he changed his tone and said, "Forget it, I'll go over there."
She went as soon as she said she would. Su Qingqing stood up and put the teacup on the round table. Then she heard footsteps outside the door, followed by the sound of greetings.
"Your Highness, Jin An."
Rong Que is here?
Su Qingqing frowned slightly and turned to look at the door.
The door was pushed open, and Rong Que, who was still wearing the ceremonial robe, walked in. He smelled strongly of alcohol and it seemed that he had come directly from the guest seats.
He had a blank expression on his face and no one else was with him. He went straight to the inner room after entering. Su Qingqing gave Jixiang a look, and Jixiang understood and bowed to Rongque and took his leave when he came in.
As soon as Jixiang left, Rong Que glanced at Su Qingqing's removed headdress that was still scattered on the bed.
This is something the princess can really do.
"I'll sleep here tonight." Rong Que's voice was emotionless, as if he was just giving his servants a simple order to eat cabbage stewed with vermicelli , and he didn't seem drunk at all.
However, he immediately added, "There are some things that I want to make clear to you in advance. I am just sleeping here. Don't have any other plans between you and me. You and I are just using each other."
After a pause, thinking of Su Qingqing's strange behavior, he said coldly: "Also, I remind you, don't play with fire and get burned!"
He looked at Su Qingqing, trying to see through this person.
Su Qingqing smiled wryly and said, "Why, Your Highness needs my cooperation to complete the image of a loving couple? This doesn't fit the story. I used the method of climbing into bed to break up the couple and become the Crown Princess. Shouldn't Your Highness hate me?"
Rong Que sat in the main seat, dusted off the dust on his body, and looked up at Su Qingqing.
The look in his eyes was as cold as ice.
"You can still make me love you like this, doesn't that mean you are so important? Otherwise, your efforts this morning would be in vain!"
Anyone who angers the Queen is clearly declaring war on her!
Su Qingqing chuckled, "I just completed what His Royal Highness wanted to do but was not convenient to do. Doesn't this fit in with the core theme of us using each other? It's just that I stopped being a fool so soon because I'm afraid that His Excellency Xiang would assassinate me."
Rong Que rolled his eyes in his heart.
Are you going through so much trouble because you're afraid of assassination?
Su Qingqing pulled out the chair next to her and sat down, looking indifferent.
"It's not impossible to cooperate with Your Highness. It's up to you whether we love or hate each other."
She paused, her expression suddenly changed, "But, if I find out that His Highness has someone following me next time, I have a bad temper, and I won't be able to do anything out of control."
Rong Que's slightly curled fingers trembled slightly.
She actually knew that Minglu was following her.
After taking a deep look at Su Qingqing, Rong Que sneered: "I am marrying you, but I don't want to hear any gossip!"
Su Qingqing rolled her eyes.
"Bullshit! Is Minglu blind? Or did he fail to report to you faithfully what I did!"
The rude words were totally inconsistent with her beautiful face.
Rong Que frowned in disdain, "I'm just warning you. I don't want to clean up your mess."
Su Qingqing curled her lips, shrugged and ignored her.
It’s not certain who will clean up the mess for whom!
Seeing Su Qingqing's expression, Rong Que became angry, "What? Do you think I am exaggerating? You are the Princess of Zhao State, and on the first night of your arrival in the Great Yan Dynasty, you actually went to the Su family and snatched the second daughter of the Su family back. If people knew about this, wouldn't it be a mess?"
Su Qingqing crossed her legs out of habit and said with a broad smile, "The prerequisite for a mess is to let people know about it! But obviously, no one knows about it."
"Wouldn't the King know it?"
"Then clean up your own mess!"
In the Great Yan Kingdom, no matter how delicate his status was, he was still the crown prince of a country. No one had ever spoken to him like that before. Rong Que could not help but get angry, "How dare you!"
Su Qingqing said, "So, did you come here today just to quarrel? If so, there is no need. I understand the principle that when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. So, you are right, you are reasonable, I will listen to you, okay?"
Rong Que almost fainted from anger.
Just when I was about to get angry, I felt that getting angry would not solve the problem at all, so I had to swallow my anger.
"Now that things have come to this, you and I are already husband and wife. I have the right to know why you insisted on coming here to marry and why you took the risk of treating the second young lady of the Su family!"
Su Qingqing said in an infuriating manner, "Because my name is Su Qingqing!"
"you……"
Su Qingqing interrupted Rong Que calmly, "Why are you so impatient? Listen to me. Your Great Yan Kingdom has a great general named Su Qingqing. This princess has the same name as her. I heard that she died on the battlefield. So, for this princess to take care of her sister who is dying of being bullied, is this a big deal that Your Highness cannot tolerate? Don't you understand the principle of accumulating good deeds?"
Rongque...
If he talks too much to this woman, will he be angry to death?
