Indeed, as Madam Pang said, Concubine Pang did not want the Eleventh Princess to be overly inclined towards Tian Xun and neglect Su Yao.
Seeing that the Eleventh Princess was getting closer and closer to Tian Xun, she hurriedly asked Emperor Yuanfeng for permission to summon Su Yao into the palace.
Su Yao was going to the palace, and Wang Yuerong was the most reluctant to let her go. She rolled around on Su Yao's bed and couldn't help sighing, "Originally, we said that while the weather wasn't too hot, we would go for a walk in the suburbs of Beijing and ride horses together, but now you want to go to the palace, and I don't know when we can go."
This time, Wang Yuerong came with Mrs. Wang Wu, who was holding her six-month-old baby. After talking with Su Yao for a while, Yan Cao came in and said that the old lady and the others had called them over.
Su Yao smiled and shook his head: "Actually, you don't have much time to go. I heard that the old lady and the old lady of your in-laws have asked the Imperial Observatory to change the date. You and your brother will be married next month. How can you have time to go out and play?"
Speaking of this, Wang Yuerong blushed with shame and twisted Su Yao's face: "Girl, why do you keep talking about marriage or not? Aren't you ashamed?"
The closer the wedding date gets, the more nervous and anxious Wang Yuerong becomes.
In fact, according to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are taboos before men and women get married. The marriage between her and Su Rong has been full of twists and turns, and it was recently postponed. They were not supposed to meet recently, but Su Rong insisted that she come to see if she liked the renovated new house, so she came here under the excuse of accompanying Mrs. Wang Wu.
After hearing what Su Yao said, she felt even more embarrassed and angry.
Su Yao couldn't help laughing, and dodged Wang Yuerong's hand mischievously: "Why should I be shy? Big brother always asks me where the pool in the purification room is built, and whether my future sister-in-law likes the new swing under the ginkgo tree outside. I'm fed up with it. I wish my sister-in-law would come and see it herself so that she can make her own decision and not make our whole family worry because of big brother..."
Wang Yuerong was a little angry and embarrassed by what she said, and chased her to hit her: "You bad girl, you are really getting worse and worse..."
Su Yao smiled and tried to hide outside. The two of them played and joked, and soon arrived at Mrs. Su's Kangping Garden. Wang Yuerong chased after him more and more anxiously: "Look, I caught you..."
Su Yao turned around in a hurry, and accidentally bumped into something hard. He immediately covered his head and took a step back.
She was hit so hard that she felt dizzy and dazed for a moment. Just as she was about to look up, she heard a familiar chuckle and her eyes widened.
Sure enough, when she looked up, she saw Xiao Heng's smiling face. This time, she blushed just like Wang Yuerong.
I never expected that Xiao Heng was also here.
Xiao Heng couldn't help laughing: "What are you guys doing?"
Su Yao felt embarrassed. Ever since Su Rong brought Xiao Heng into the study room and saw her with disheveled hair last time, she had made up her mind not to lose her composure in front of Xiao Heng again.
Who knew that not long after that, Xiao Heng bumped into her again. She coughed subconsciously: "Nothing, why is Your Highness here?"
Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows as a matter of course: "I went to the Song family for some business, and happened to hear that the eldest sister brought the child to the Su family. I thought that I happened to have something to do with Yongding Bo, so I came over to see the child."
Su Yao then remembered that the relationship between Mrs. Wang Wu and Xiao Heng had improved a lot. It was said that Xiao Heng liked Mrs. Wang Wu's children very much. Due to Emperor Yuanfeng's tacit approval, Xiao Heng and the Song family did not deliberately distance themselves from each other. Therefore, Xiao Heng was indeed very concerned about Mrs. Wang Wu's children. It was not strange for him to come since Mrs. Wang Wu brought the children here.
She uttered an "oh". In fact, she didn't know what to say. She was feeling a little uncomfortable when she heard Xiao Heng speak: "By the way, Cui Yuandao and Princess Fenyang seem to be having a very unhappy time."
Princess Fenyang took great pains to pave the way, but something went wrong at the last minute. She was very upset. After using both soft and hard tactics again and again, Cui Yuandao remained unmoved. She finally couldn't bear it any longer and had a big quarrel with Cui Yuandao.
Cui Yuandao naturally couldn't tell her that it was because his own son had an affair with the deposed emperor's concubine, and was discovered by Gao Ping, and the two of them had a very awkward relationship for a while.
This was also within Su Yao's expectations.
Su Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Xiao Heng talking about business. Somehow, she couldn't sleep every time she thought about being embarrassed in front of Xiao Heng.
Recently, every time after meeting Xiao Heng, I would repeatedly think about whether I had performed poorly.
It's so annoying.
Even when she was dealing with Madam Su San in her previous life, she had never been so worried about gains and losses.
Hearing Xiao Heng say this, she hurriedly took over the conversation: "That's about it. After all, Cui Daru is of noble status. Even if it is really his fault, if Princess Fenyang is aggressive, he will not feel good. Besides, Princess Fenyang's dissatisfaction is not just words. Your Highness can pay attention to it. If the time is right, Your Highness should take action."
She seemed a little nervous, and her words came out as fast and urgently as frying beans. Xiao Heng turned his head to look at her. From his angle, he could see Su Yao's curled eyelashes fluttering up and down like a small fan.
"I know." He couldn't help but lower his voice and said to Su Yao, "The Eleventh Princess is almost well now. Isn't it time for you to enter the palace?"
Su Yao responded.
"It's better to enter the palace earlier." Xiao Heng thought of the changes in the palace and frowned before letting go: "But I'm afraid you have to spend more time and effort. Tian Xun and the Eleventh Princess are now as close as one person."
They are all study companions. Tian Xun coaxed the Eleventh Princess into the point where she is the only one in his eyes and heart, so Su Yao would inevitably be neglected.
It would have been fine if she was just ignored, but after Xiao Heng attended the funeral of Princess Jingming, he knew that this Miss Tian was no ordinary person.
He frowned, hesitated for a moment and said: "Tian Xun..."
He didn't know what to say.
His upbringing prevented him from saying things about women, but he wanted to remind Su Yao and felt a little embarrassed.
Su Yao thought for a moment and then realized what was happening. He looked at Xiao Heng with wide eyes and asked, "Miss Tian doesn't like me?"
She thought about it, and seeing Xiao Heng's reaction, she said naturally, "Is it because of His Highness?"
She was so perceptive that Xiao Heng hesitated for a moment. He didn't know how to respond when suddenly the curtain sounded and a chubby and round little thing pounced towards Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng immediately opened his arms and held the little fat boy in his arms. He lowered his head and saw the fat kid in a yellow outfit grabbing his nose with his teeth and claws. (To be continued)
