Some people are in dire straits, while others are in a state of panic.
After the Sixth Prince's wife left, the Fifth Prince's wife and the Seventh Prince's wife did not stay long either, and left together. They were all about to leave the palace for their own residences, and it would not be good to leave too late.
The fifth prince was waiting outside. Seeing him, Yin Congqing smiled sincerely, took a few steps forward and took his hand: "Your Highness, are you waiting for me here?"
As a newlywed couple, the relationship was just getting better. The Fifth Prince nodded in a good-natured manner and smiled as he talked to her about Xiao Heng: "He really tried hard. I think he really has a good alcohol tolerance, but he was just pretending to be drunk. You don't know that my seventh brother made him drink a lot of wine, and as a result, my seventh brother was unconscious, but he was fine. Although he looked drunk on the surface, I actually saw that his lower body was strong and he was not drunk at all."
Yin Congqing found it interesting and started laughing too: "In the bridal chamber, everyone was still laughing. The Sixth Prince's wife said that maybe Ah Heng and the Crown Prince's wife had something going on in the past. Otherwise, how could the two of them seem to have such a good relationship?"
Hearing this, the Fifth Prince frowned slightly and whispered, "Don't agree with this, it's not a good thing to say! What do you mean by there was something before? Isn't this accusing them of having a secret relationship? Even if they had any relationship before marriage, it was open and aboveboard. Talking about them like this makes people think that we, the uncle and aunt, are gossiping."
This matter can be big or small. Although the Fifth Prince is young and seems easy to talk to, he is actually very upright and insightful.
Yin Congqing knew that he was angry, and hurriedly said, "Yes, don't worry, we are not like that, and anxiously changed the subject."
The fifth prince shook his head and said, "You are not the kind of person who likes to gossip. I know that in my heart. I am just afraid that others will lead you astray. The sixth brother's wife is really a bit unreasonable. No matter what she meant by saying this, it is at least not very decent and she has no good intentions. You should be more careful in the future. If she does this again, stay away from her."
Yin Congqing heard it all.
The Seventh Prince's wife also talked about this matter with the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was more direct. He said bluntly: "How ridiculous! Is she trying to pick a fight with the East Palace in person?"
The Seventh Prince is a cautious person. He has been afraid of things since he was a child and wants to stay away from all kinds of troubles.
He didn't have any big ambitions, and he knew that the overall situation had been decided. Seeing that his father was going to pass the throne to his grandson rather than his sons, he didn't have any ideas. After all, he was younger than Xiao Heng and had no military merits, so it was natural that the throne would not be passed to him.
Lin Xiuzhang has always been a smart person. When she heard the Fifth Prince say this, she nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back."
This princess was quite smart. The Seventh Prince was more patient with her. He pursed his lips and spoke from the bottom of his heart: "It's good that you know. In fact, there is nothing to be unwilling about. I am not the daughter of a noble concubine. My mother's family is just a teacher. I have not made any achievements. The only advantage is that I was born in the royal family. My father has always been more tolerant of me because I am young. I know all this. So, I don't care what others think. Now is the best day for me."
These words were really eye-opening. Lin Xiuzhang listened carefully and did not perfunctorily respond. He nodded directly and said, "Yes, don't worry. I can't do anything else, but I will definitely not hold you back. You are right. Now is the best day. We are all fine. I think the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are both clear-minded people. They will understand our intentions."
The Seventh Prince shook her hand.
The East Palace is lit up with red lanterns that are like flames. Together with the fireworks blooming in the sky, it looks like a sea of lights leading to the heavenly palace, which is so beautiful that it cannot be described.
Yancao is already married and cannot enter the palace now. Su Yao has asked her and Qingkun to manage several shops given to her by the Shen family outside the palace.
The leader has now been replaced by Jinping.
Jinping was actually a little timid. After all, the difference between the palace and the marquis' mansion outside was too great. But after she got goosebumps all over her body, she suddenly calmed down.
What is there to be afraid of? She thought so, thinking about how she followed Su Yao step by step from the He family to the Su family, and now to the palace, and she took every step very steadily.
She took a deep breath and saw a group of people coming towards her. She immediately became alert: "Who is it?"
Princess Eleven smiled and said, "It's me."
Jinping hurriedly bowed.
The eleventh princess waved her hand, pushed the door open and went in, asked the maid to put the food on the table, and said to Su Yao with a smile: "Come quickly, niece-in-law, I prepared some food for you, are you starving?"
Su Yao was shocked by the word 'nephew's wife', and he was unable to react for a moment. When he finally reacted, he saw the Eleventh Princess smiling, and knew that the Eleventh Princess was teasing him. He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and glared at the Eleventh Princess.
The Eleventh Princess ignored her. She smiled and pulled Su Yao to the table: "Okay, okay, bride, I feel sorry for you being hungry all day, so I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a table of snacks for you early in the morning. Come and eat something to fill your stomach."
There was a bowl of plain noodles on the table with two small cabbages on it, which looked very appetizing.
Su Yao was indeed a little hungry, and she couldn't help but praise Princess Eleven.
Princess Eleven immediately felt a little proud. She raised her chin and said softly, "I said I'm smart and considerate, right?"
She held her chin and watched Su Yao eat, her eyes full of smiles: "Yaoyao, you are absolutely right. My mother said, and my father said, the Japanese pirates are villains, fickle, and treacherous. How can they win people's trust? It is even more impossible to grant them the status of a princess and marry them. I don't need to marry them!"
Su Yao also laughed.
Although she had expected this, Su Yao was still shocked when she heard what Emperor Yuanfeng said. She had always felt that Emperor Yuanfeng might not be a good husband or a good father, but he was definitely a good monarch.
After all, he was able to put an end to the deposed emperor and the evil empress and clean up this mess, and he also had to fight against the infiltration of the evil forces of the previous dynasty and the Wala in the north, as well as beware of the Japanese pirates.
He had done really well enough.
Therefore, Su Yao couldn't help but praise him: "Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler!"
The eleventh princess was very favored and had a deep relationship with her father, so when she heard Su Yao say this, she felt proud: "Yes, yes, my father is really amazing. He said that there is no need for a marriage alliance to make the Japanese pirates never dare to invade our Great Zhou again!"
