Speaking of Madam He, Emperor Yuanfeng began to sigh again: "Speaking of which, why hasn't my aunt come to the palace for so long? She came less often before, but now that her precious treasure is still in the palace, why does she come even less often?"

The atmosphere had become relaxed, and Concubine Pang laughed, "Your Majesty, how could you forget that the Wang family and the Su family are getting married? Earl Yongding is getting married, and Madam He is a relative of both the Wang and Su families, so naturally she has things to do. There aren't many serious elders in either family."

Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly realized what was going on, and was somewhat happy to think that Su Rong was about to get married: "This child is indeed rare. He suffered a lot in the past, and now he is finally getting his wish. He is very much like his father."

Speaking of Su Rong's marriage, Emperor Yuanfeng specially asked Eunuch Xia to go to the Su family again to announce the imperial decree and reward.

The Su family was in a festive mood. When Eunuch Xia arrived, he happened to pass by the street where the Tian family lived. The Tian family was now deserted, and it was completely different from the past. Tian Chengzhong actually chose this day to leave the city and return to his hometown. He lifted the curtain and saw Tian Chengzhong's lonely back. He clicked his tongue, shook his head and lowered the curtain.

When they arrived at the Su's house, he smiled again, presented the rewards, looked at Su Rong warmly, smiled and congratulated him.

Eunuch Xia was a favorite of Emperor Yuanfeng. With his arrival, the Su family became even more lively. People came to give gifts one after another. In just a few days, three of the Su family's door thresholds were trampled down.

Old Mrs. Su was very busy. She hadn't gone out for social events for many years. But this time the situation was special because the one getting married was her favorite grandson. After years of hard work, the smile on her face never stopped from beginning to end.

With such a powerful momentum, the Yongding Marquis' Mansion became the topic of discussion on the streets.

Even Princess Fenyang heard it and couldn't help but snort: "It's true that when one person succeeds, everyone in the family will benefit."

It's just because he has Xiao Heng's support that he is so successful now. He used to be a loser who couldn't even keep his fiancée and everyone laughed at him, but now, everyone is starting to flock to him.

Princess Fenyang found it funny, but also felt like she was holding back a breath of air. She pushed the vase on the table away, stood up suddenly, and got up anxiously.

The palace was so huge, but now she didn't know who to talk to.

In the past, when Prince Fenyang was still alive, the couple naturally had nothing to talk about. At that time, there were also Chun'an and Shao Wenxun... ... But in the blink of an eye, everything has changed. Prince Fenyang is dead, and Chun'an is now full of resentment, and it is impossible to communicate properly with her. If you talk to her, they will quarrel after just a few words.

She felt more and more annoyed, and unconsciously took a walk to the back garden of the palace. Looking through the long passage at the pavilion in the middle of the lake that had become somewhat deserted, she let out a long sigh.

After a while, Mr. Cui came running over from behind, panting and calling out to the princess: "So you are here!"

Princess Fenyang turned her head and saw that he was sweating profusely from running. She perked up a little and asked, "Sir, is there anything?"

"Yes, Princess. I heard that the Fourth Madam Cui went to Mr. Gao's house and made a scene, saying that the Fourth Master secretly had a mistress and raised an illegitimate child..." Mr. Cui was a little excited and stuttered as he told Princess Fenyang about the troubles in the Fourth Master Cui's family: "The Fourth Madam made a big scene. I heard that she even said she was going to jump into the well of the Gao family while holding her child. Mrs. Gao was so scared that she became sick..."

Princess Fenyang was extremely surprised when she heard this. Before, Mr. Cui San had always emphasized that this matter would never be let go, and he also mentioned the Fourth Madam. But she didn't expect that this was what Mr. Cui San meant by teaching Cui Yuandao a lesson.

After listening to it, she couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

What kind of lesson is this

Inciting people to cause trouble would at most only give him a bad reputation at the time. Besides, it would affect Mr. Cui Si more, so what does it have to do with Cui Yuandao

At most, people would just say that Cui Yuandao is a bad parent.

"What nonsense..." Princess Fenyang said so, but things have been going badly recently. It was only today that she was a little happy. It was also good news. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go and see where my third brother is."

Third Master Cui had just returned from outside. Seeing Princess Fenyang coming to see him, he asked her as a matter of course, "Do you know everything?"

"I just heard about it." Princess Fenyang sat down opposite him and disagreed: "Third brother, you too, are really going backwards as you get older. You can vent your anger for a while by doing this, but what happens next? You are really..."

Mr. Cui San calmly drank a sip of tea and asked nonchalantly, "How do you know I was just venting my anger?"

Princess Fenyang was a little suspicious: "Cui Si is just a nobody. After passing the imperial examination, he took care of the affairs of the clan. You are using him as a scapegoat. Even if you make a big fuss, what impact will it have on him?"

Master Cui San sneered, "That's not necessarily true. Raising a son to have a mistress may not have any impact. After all, there are men in this world who are not romantic. This is not a big deal, but what if you raise a son who commits murder?"

Princess Fenyang was startled, and when she reacted, she immediately asked, "What do you mean? Who are you going to kill?"

Mr. Cui San smiled but said nothing.

When Su Yao left the palace again, Su Rong had been waiting outside the Shenwu Gate for a long time. When he saw Su Yao coming out, he waved to him hurriedly.

Aunt Cui couldn't help laughing when she saw this: "The Earl of Yongding really loves the county lady."

Su Yao also couldn't help laughing. Seeing Su Rong's happy face, he hurriedly trotted towards Su Rong.

Su Rong touched her head and said, "You look prettier now. I guess you are living well in the palace?"

The two of them chatted for a few words with a smile, and Su Rong hurriedly greeted Aunt Cui.

Aunt Cui nodded politely, very kindly: "The Imperial Concubine just wanted me to escort the county lady back to the Earl's Mansion. Now it's easier."

Originally, when Emperor Yuanfeng asked Eunuch Xia to go to the Yongding Earl's Mansion to announce the rewards, he also took the opportunity to give out the rewards that Concubine Pang wanted to give. This time, he planned to let Aunt Cui send Su Yao back.

Su Rong immediately took over the conversation: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your kindness. I am sorry to trouble you to make this trip." She handed over a thick purse: "It's not worth much, please share some of your good luck."

Aunt Cui took it with a smile and said congratulations.

After Su Rong took Su Yao away, Aunt Cui returned to Fengzao Palace to report: "The Earl of Yongding is really good to Miss Su. The groom who is going to get married tomorrow did not forget to come and pick up my sister today..."

Concubine Pang also felt a little emotional for the relationship between the Su brothers and sisters: "Yes, I don't know how their parents taught them to have such a good relationship."
