Su Yao soon arrived in front of Concubine Pang. She had never seen Concubine Pang. In her previous life, when she struggled out of the Cheng family's backyard and had a little hope, the Pang family had already disappeared.
This imperial concubine, who now looked so graceful and dignified that she could not be approached, could not even enter the imperial mausoleum after her death. She was hastily stuffed into the tomb of a nobleman by Concubine Li, who later became the empress dowager.
The fifth prince had already been granted the title of king and established his fiefdom in Fujian at that time. Upon hearing the news, he rebelled.
Song Heng also left at that time.
Thinking of Song Heng, Su Yao's heart skipped a beat.
This New Year's Eve celebration was so thrilling. The black bear couldn't have gone crazy for no reason. There must be something fishy. Who was behind this and what was his purpose
Song Heng went to investigate this matter...
She closed her eyes, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across them, but she quickly covered it up again.
Concubine Pang had already turned around to let Su Yao excuse herself from the formalities. With a warm smile on her face, as if she was talking to a younger member of her family, she cordially asked Su Yao to come to her side, looked at her for a while, then smiled, took a golden hairpin from her head, and casually pinned it on Su Yao's head: "Have it and play with it."
Su Yao came to his senses, reached out to hold the golden hairpin on his head and was about to kneel down to refuse.
This kind of golden hairpin can only be worn by ladies of high rank. She is now just a girl waiting to be married, but Concubine Pang gave her such a thing. It is obviously not for her to wear, but contains some deep meaning.
As expected, Concubine Pang held her hand and said calmly, "This is a reward for you. Take it."
He then asked about Su Yao's situation at home and said with a smile, "You have a bright future ahead of you. His Majesty rarely praises people like this. He can say this to you today, which shows that he likes you. Good child, you don't have to hide it when you go back. This is a good reputation that others can't even hope for."
Her words were pointed.
Su Yao understood as soon as she heard it. Concubine Pang was reminding her and the Su family not to be too short-sighted. With Emperor Yuanfeng's appreciation, they obviously had many better possibilities.
She responded quietly.
Concubine Pang looked at her again. Aunt Cui had said before that this girl was unusually calm, and now she could see that this girl was really patient. She was like an ancient well, deep and calm. You could not figure out what kind of emotions were hidden under her calm appearance.
She shook Su Yao's hand, and someone came outside to tell her that the Queen's portrait had been moved into Kunning Palace, and Taiji Hall had been cleared out, so Concubine Pang was asked to take everyone back.
The emperor's temper has been getting worse and worse since the death of Empress Xiaoci and the crown prince. The concubines and royal family members who are close to him in the palace are all aware of it. Even the ministers know it. After such a commotion, everyone is still in shock. When Concubine Pang saw Princess Mingchang, she found that she was a little dazed, and she couldn't help but sigh.
After returning to the Taiji Hall and waiting for a while, everyone heard the voice of Emperor Yuanfeng. They could vaguely hear him saying something like the former crown prince was "soft-hearted" and "filial".
The expressions of everyone in the hall suddenly became subtle again.
This was the second time Emperor Yuanfeng mentioned the Crown Prince today.
This has never happened before.
Fortunately, perhaps because Mrs. He accompanied him to request the statue, Emperor Yuanfeng's mood was obviously much better. After midnight, everyone gathered together to wish Emperor Yuanfeng a happy new year.
Originally, the ladies from outside the imperial court would have left the palace early at this time, but the incident with the black bear this year delayed the schedule and delayed them as well. Emperor Yuanfeng sent them red envelopes and then arranged for them to leave the palace.
In fact, they basically didn't need to sleep after leaving the palace - they had to rush back to the palace to attend the New Year celebrations before dawn.
Just as Su Yao was thinking, she was pushed by Mrs. He. When she came to her senses, she found that Emperor Yuanfeng was looking at her, so she hurried forward and kowtowed to Emperor Yuanfeng at the steps.
Emperor Yuanfeng smiled and said, "My little sister said that you are her happy pill. She came to the capital because of you. So it seems that you are a lucky star!"
Being personally praised by the emperor as a lucky star, one can imagine the weight of these words. Many women present couldn't help but change their eyes when looking at Su Yao.
After Emperor Yuanfeng finished speaking, he pulled out a Pisces jade pendant from his waist and said, "When the queen was alive, she loved me the most. Since you are my granddaughter and have a connection with her, I will give this to you."
What he rewarded her with were the things she had with her. Princess Zhuang was shocked and looked at Su Yao in disbelief, clenching her fists tightly in her sleeves.
This is really unexpected.
Concubine Pang couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, lowered her head and looked deeply at Su Yao below.
Su Yao herself was caught off guard. She knew that Mrs. He brought her into the palace just to win the emperor's favor, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth. The emperor even gave her the jade pendant he was wearing as a reward.
She subconsciously clutched the jade pendant tightly and kowtowed to Emperor Yuanfeng in a daze to express her gratitude.
It was not until she walked out of the Taiji Hall and was blown by the cold wind that Su Yao shuddered and suddenly came back to her senses. Not far away, Song Heng and several Jinyiwei who were also wearing Feiyu uniforms were walking towards the Taiji Hall with stern faces. When passing by her, Song Heng stopped deliberately, as if he remembered what happened just now. He raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly at Su Yao: "Miss Su Fourth?"
It was as if she had returned to her previous life. In a trance, Su Yao still remembered Song Heng who jumped down from the willow tree. At that time, he was standing in front of her like this, with a faint smile on his energetic face, and called her Fourth Miss Su.
She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and responded with mixed feelings: "Mr. Song."
Song Heng seemed a little surprised that she could recognize him. He frowned for a moment and then relaxed his brows: "Miss Su Si fell out at a delicate time. Did Miss Su Si notice anything unusual at that time?"
She was pushed out by someone, and Su Yao knew it very well. When Song Heng asked this, it was obvious that he also saw that there was another reason behind her fall.
Su Yao paused, knowing that Song Heng was always observant. Since he asked this question, he might even know who pushed her.
However, this person always likes to beat around the bush, so Su Yao cooperated and looked over: "Mr. Song is very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and is naturally much smarter than me. I wonder if Mr. Song can give me some pointers so that I can know where I have offended someone and suffered this unprovoked disaster."
Several young Jinyiwei guards beside Song Heng couldn't help but cough and looked at Su Yao strangely.
Is this girl's brain okay
How dare she try to make friends with Song Heng
