The imperial palace had caught fire before, and once a fire broke out, it would be extremely terrifying, because the buildings in the palace were one after another, and a large amount of wood was used to construct the landscape. In addition, there were so many eunuchs, palace maids, concubines and princesses in the palace. Once the fire was severe, how could all of them escape
The deposed queen set fire to the palace, and the death toll in the palace reached more than 3,000.
The Eleventh Princess, who lived in the palace, naturally knew this.
In order to make her understand the interests involved, Concubine Pang once asked a palace maid from the previous dynasty whose face was burned to tell her this story.
When Princess Eleven heard that Tian Xun had actually set fire, she finally understood why Tian Xun had to die.
Yes, how could the emperor tolerate such a bold person
The doubts in her heart were resolved, but more questions immediately emerged: "But why would she do this..."
Why so bold
"Your Highness was born into a wealthy family, and you have everything you want. You don't have to work so hard to get anything, so you naturally don't understand the persistence of some people in wanting something." Su Yao said bluntly, "In order to gain the favor of the Queen Mother, she has used Princess Jingming's story to deceive people. Once you start lying, you have to use countless lies to make up for it. She is so good at it that she naturally can't give up this trick easily. She also naturally thinks that everything in the world can be solved by using Princess Jingming to deceive the Queen Mother. She hates me, but in fact, it seems that inciting you to hate me has no effect on me, and there is no way to drive me out of the palace, so naturally she can only think of other ways. And who else in the palace can drive me out? Of course, it's the Queen Mother."
The Eleventh Princess was not stupid, she naturally knew that what Su Yao said was true.
She fell silent.
Since Tian Xun could even use Empress Dowager Tian in this way, it goes without saying that she herself would be an even greater target of Tian Xun's use.
Thinking of what Tian Xun said and did in front of her, and Concubine Pang's instructions, she looked at Su Yao and said, "You know everything, so why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"If I tell Your Highness, will You believe me?" Su Yao smiled softly, turned around and looked sincerely into the eyes of the Eleventh Princess: "Your Highness is kind-hearted and innocent, so you naturally like people who look gentle and kind. But unfortunately, I am not like that. I also know that I don't like to laugh and I don't know how to say nice things, so I am not liked by others. But Your Highness, everyone lives in a different environment, so their temperament is also different. When we judge a person, we can't measure it by whether she is likable or not."
Princess Eleven actually knew what Su Yao meant, and also understood that Su Yao was telling the truth. She felt a little regretful, but could not say anything to show her submission. She just snorted, "You know everything!"
Su Yao immediately smiled and shook his head: "No, I just happened to know this little bit. Your Highness, I should go to accompany the bride, do you want to go with me?"
Since Xiao Heng and the Fifth Prince were accompanying Su Rong to welcome the bride, they would definitely have to stay for a drink, and the Eleventh Princess who came with them would naturally have to stay in the Su family for a while.
After all, this girl is a daughter of a royal family. If she is left in the backyard, everyone will feel restrained, and Su Yao is also worried. It would be safer for them to go to the new house together.
The eleventh princess had never seen anyone get married, so she was actually a little curious. In addition, she didn't dislike Su Yao that much anymore. When she heard Su Yao say that, she looked a little disdainful, but she still raised her chin reluctantly: "Then I will go with you to take a look."
Su Yao smiled and agreed.
When they arrived at the bridal chamber, the matchmaker had already started asking Su Rong to pick up the veil. Quite a few people had already gathered inside. From the Su family's side there were the eldest wife's former relatives, as well as a few noble ladies who had recently started to move around. It looked quite lively.
As soon as the Eleventh Princess entered the room, everyone stood up in a hurry to greet her, even the bride was in a hurry to stand up.
The Eleventh Princess found it interesting and waved her hand to ask everyone to excuse themselves. When she saw Su Rong lift up her veil, she could not help but burst out laughing.
Su Yao turned his head to look at her, a little suspicious, and the Eleventh Princess was overjoyed: "Why does the bride have to be painted so white?"
Su Yao was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, the room was bustling and no one paid much attention to this side, so she answered softly: "The bride's makeup is like this."
The Eleventh Princess couldn't understand it, but when the ladies said things like "May you have a son soon" and "May you have a happy marriage forever", and scattered things like longans and dates on the bed, she found it interesting, especially when Su Rong hurriedly reached out to help Wang Yuerong block those fruits. She watched with great interest.
The ladies also smiled and praised Su Rong for being really caring. Wang Yuerong was anxious and embarrassed, and even her neck and ears turned red.
Finally, after the wedding wine was drunk, the ladies let the newlyweds go. But before Su Rong could go out to toast, Li Rui came in hurriedly and said to Su Rong anxiously, "My Lord! The palace has an urgent summons for you, the Fifth Prince, and the Crown Prince to come to the palace to see the Emperor!"
The room fell silent for a moment as everyone was shocked by the news.
On such a happy occasion, what could be so important that we have to summon someone to the palace today
Especially since it's still night time.
Such an urgent call in the middle of the night always makes people scared. No one dared to joke for a moment, and everyone had a solemn expression on their face.
Even the Eleventh Princess was a little confused. Just then, Li Rui's wife came in, and the Fifth Prince also sent someone in to ask the Eleventh Princess to leave.
The eleventh princess frowned. Seeing that the bride's eyes were red from anxiety, she felt a little uncomfortable. After thinking for a while, she looked around the room and raised her eyebrows and said, "Master, please go quickly. Since the emperor summoned you urgently, it must be something important. My fifth brother and the crown prince came out of the palace to serve as your wedding envoys. The emperor also knows that. If it's not an important matter, why would he summon you so urgently?"
This one sentence revealed that Emperor Yuanfeng agreed to let the Fifth Prince and Xiao Heng leave the palace to pick up Su Rong's bride, and pointed out that Xiao Heng and the Fifth Prince were also urgently recalled to the palace, which at least proved that it was not a bad thing.
As long as it wasn't a bad thing, everyone would naturally feel much more relaxed.
Wang Yuerong looked at Su Rong nervously. Seeing Su Rong nod at her, she pursed her lips and mustered up her courage: "Don't worry, I'll always be here."
Since you have become husband and wife, you should naturally share the joys and sorrows.
Su Rong smiled, shook her hand vigorously, stood up, bowed to the ladies, thanked them for coming to help today, looked at Su Yao, and said softly: "I'll leave the house to you."
