Su Zipei responded happily and was about to leave with Dongfang Rui when Zhu Yan suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes from behind. Only then did she remember that her mother had to make arrangements... It was really troublesome.
Su Zipei thought so and still stopped. Dongfang Rui noticed and turned around and asked, "Zipei, what's wrong?"
Su Zipei hesitated for a moment and then said sheepishly: "Dad, actually... Mom had a fight with Daddy Su yesterday and she was divorced. Mom has nowhere to go now. If I just leave like this... "
"This matter is easy to handle."
Dongfang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and invited with a smile: "Mrs. Zhu, since you are free now, how about I invite you to stay in the palace for a while? It just so happens that I still don't understand a lot about Zipei. I still need to ask you for advice.”
When Zhu Yan heard this, the last stone fell from her heart, and she said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking me in!"
"It's me who thanks you." Dongfang Rui shook his head and smiled, "Come on with me in the car."
While Su Zipei and Zhu Yan were getting on the carriage, Wu Bin came over and whispered: "Master, how should we arrange the thank you gifts?"
Dongfang Rui's expression was slightly cold, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Since the thank-you gift has been sent, there is no reason to take it back. Although the Su family does not know Zipei's identity, they still let her have no worries about food and clothing. Now that Zhu My wife has been divorced and I have given her gifts of thanks. From now on, the Su family and my daughter Zipei have nothing to do with each other."
"Yes, sir! I know what to do."
Wu Bin understood the meaning of the words. The master wanted Su Zipei to completely draw a clear line between Su Zipei and the Su family...
He looked back at the mother and son sitting in the carriage, who were talking happily and whispering. It seemed that Su Zipei and Zhu Yan had long been tired of the Su family, and there was no sense of sadness in leaving today.
It seems that the eldest lady's moral character is a bit worrying under Zhu Yan's guidance.
On this day, the news that Prince Rui's daughter, who had been separated for more than ten years, had returned to the palace spread throughout the city in an instant, causing an uproar. Everyone was discussing which woman was so lucky to be able to step into the royal palace in one step.
Everyone was shocked when they learned that this matter was related to the Su family.
"It's actually the ugly Su Zipei who looked ugly at the feast of beasts?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? It's not Su Li?"
"Tsk, tsk, the Su family is really well hidden!"
"I heard someone said that the Zhu family secretly adopted her. The day before the news came out, the head of the Su family divorced the wife. It was really a loss for the wife and a loss of soldiers!"
"If this is the case, wouldn't the Su family suffer a big loss?"
“…”
One piece of news was dug out, and for a time, whether it was the disciples of the Chinese Academy of Sciences or ordinary people, the family affairs of Prince Rui's house became the topic of conversation after dinner.
The Su family at the center of the incident remained silent. Su Huanli was still in a coma. This blow was too great for him. On the other side, Prince Rui's Mansion was beaming with joy. The palace, which had been deserted for more than ten years, was now decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there were servants and maids everywhere with happy faces.
"Miss, are you satisfied with this outfit?"
The maid with skillful hands gave Su Zipei a beautiful and exquisite hairstyle, with bright pearls on her head. "This is the latest style that I learned from the palace. The princesses in the palace also dress up like the young ladies."
"Yeah?"
Su Zipei's eyes were bright. Before coming to Prince Rui's Mansion, she had never thought that there would be a whole room for her clothes and shoes, nor had she thought that there would be several boxes of jewelry and hairpins for her to choose from, and let the maid open the box. At that moment, the jewels and jewels flashed so brightly that she almost went blind.
"Yes, miss, you are the princess now. Naturally, the standard of dressing up is also according to the princess, and cannot be worse than the princess."
The maid was full of sweet words, making Su Zipei very happy.
The maid looked at Su Zipei in the mirror with a smile that reached her lips. She couldn't help but feel envious. This girl was so lucky. She was just a country pheasant, but suddenly she flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix.
She was originally an elite maid specially trained in the palace. When she became a palace maid, she might have the opportunity to become the master's food and clothing, but now she was transferred by the prince to become Su Zipei's maid.
However, as long as she makes Su Zipei happy, her life in the palace will definitely be quite good.
Suddenly, the door creaked open.
The maid woke up and quickly bowed her head and retreated. The person who came was none other than Prince Rui, Dongfang Rui.
"father!"
Su Zipei stood up to greet him. Seeing that Su Zipei was dressed radiantly and looking more and more like a princess, Dongfang Rui felt very relieved and said warmly: "Zipei, your identity has changed now. As a princess of a country, you can no longer be the same as before. You are so rude and arrogant, you need someone to teach you etiquette, come with daddy."
"Yes, daddy." Su Zipei hurriedly followed, full of expectation and kept telling herself in her heart.
She is already the princess!
Her future opponents will no longer be someone with no aristocratic status like Su Li. She should have a more long-term vision and focus on princesses with status similar to hers. Those are the targets she will compare with in the future!
Taking a deep breath, Su Zipei calmed down and followed Dongfang Rui into the carriage and drove away.
At noon, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Chinese Studies. Dongfang Rui took Su Zipei's little hand and got out of the car with a smile, and said warmly: "From now on, you will stay at the Chinese Studies Institute and learn etiquette from the teacher."
Su Zipei was stunned, "Dad, have I become a student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
"Of course not. If you want to become a real student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you have to pass the big exam. Now my father is just helping you through the back door and teaching you some etiquette."
Dongfang Rui shook his head and laughed, and explained that he took Su Zipei in. He was from the Dongfang family. The rules of the Chinese Academy were set by the ancestors of the Dongfang family. How could he break the rules of his ancestors as a descendant of the family
"And... Zipei, in three days it will be an auspicious day. I will hold a banquet at the palace to let you recognize your ancestors and change your surname to Dongfang. You must study hard with the teacher these days and don't lose your sense of proportion in three days. .”
Dongfang Rui warned slightly uneasily, but seeing Su Zipei's eyes beaming with joy, he nodded without any hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Rui frowned slightly. Who taught him such a character? It is said that nature is easy to change but hard to change. He wanted Su Zipei to have the magnanimity and heritage of the Dongfang family. It was really not an easy task.
But at this moment, Nanny Li, carrying a vegetable basket, passed by the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She had to pass by this place every day when she went to the rented kitchen yard.
Today, there was a splendid carriage in front of the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Of course she couldn't help but take a second look, but when she saw Dongfang Rui, who was full of gentleness and smiling in front of the carriage, her smile immediately froze, and the vegetable basket disappeared from the carriage. It fell from my hand and the eggs spilled all over the floor.
"Master...and...that's the third lady? Jade pendant!"
Grandma Li muttered, her eyes full of disbelief, "So the third lady is the little lady? No... The lady was born sixteen years ago. No matter how wrong the young lady's age is, she can't be fifteen years old. Ah, who gave Su Zipei’s jade pendant, Zhu Yan?”
When she thought of Zhu Yan's selfish face, Grandma Li suddenly realized it and couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
It turns out that Su Li, whom she has been serving, is the young lady? !
Zhu Yan has abused the little miss since she was a child. It turns out that the little miss is not her biological child, but the daughter of her original miss, Su Yun!
"Miss, I found the little lady! It turns out that this slave has always been by her side!"
Grandma Li stood on the street crying and laughing like a madman. Suddenly she realized that this was no time to cry. The master had mistaken his daughter. Zhu Yan must have been the one who caused it. The civet cat changed the crown prince and his daughter became the princess. !
How could she bear this!
"master!"
Ignoring the vegetable basket on the floor, she ran towards the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but before she could enter, she was stopped by a guard with a vigilant look on her face, "Stop! No one can enter without a token!"
"Token!"
Aunt Li woke up and quickly groped around her body, but she suddenly remembered that Su Li's token was thrown into the vegetable basket. She looked back at the vegetable basket and saw Dongfang disappearing at the end of the Guoxuefu Road. Rui was so anxious that he was sweating.
what to do? It's too late to go back and get the token, but if you don't go back and get it, you won't be able to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences...
Oh my God!
Why did you let me meet the master, but didn't give me a chance to talk to him? !
Grandma Li clutched her chest, filled with despair, and wailed loudly: "Master, she is not your daughter! This slave is Xiaocui! Please look back quickly!"
Grandma Li's voice traveled very far, but the road was long enough and deep enough. Neither Dongfang Rui nor Su Zipei heard it, and they disappeared from the end of the road still laughing.
Seeing Dongfang Rui disappear in front of her eyes, Grandma Li instantly lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground. The concierge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately rushed people away impatiently: "Where are you from, you crazy woman? Get out of here! You are dirtying the door of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with this look. Be careful, I will have you arrested!"
Aunt Li shrank, stood up reluctantly, and slowly turned around to pick up the vegetable basket. When she saw the token with "Su Li" lying in the basket, her eyes suddenly focused.
Yes, the little lady is more powerful than the young lady. She will definitely find a way to see the master.
Thinking of this, Nanny Li stopped eating, picked up the token and ran towards the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She rushed to Su Li's study in embarrassment, and then she realized that she was dirty.
"Little... miss..."
Su Li put down the medicine bottle in her hand, raised her head and frowned in concern: "Nanny, why are you like this? What happened?"
Nanny Li held the corners of her clothes with both hands, raised her head and glanced at Su Li, but quickly looked away.
Fate played a trick on her. Su Li looked nothing like the young lady or the master. Because of this, she had been with Su Li for many years and still did not recognize Su Li. But now, once she accepted the fact that Su Li was the young lady's daughter, she began to I found that Su Li's condensed and unyielding temperament really looked like a young lady.
When Su Li saw Nanny Li looking like this, she frowned and said with a smile, "Nanny, do you have something to say to me?"
Aunt Li looked up in shock, but she heard Su Li continue: "Su Zipei's incident has spread all over the city, and you should have heard about it. As early as when we were in Qinghe County, I discovered that you are not simple. You are more familiar with the layout of the girls' school than anyone else. After arriving in Yunjing City, many servants were at a loss. Only Aunt Li, you have a clear path, as if you have lived in Yunjing City for many years. Now, you finally want to follow me. Are you telling the truth?"
A slight smile appeared on Aunt Li's face when she heard this. It turned out that she had been seen through by the little lady a long time ago, but this time when it was revealed, she no longer felt creepy, but felt relieved.
The little lady has indeed inherited the young lady's mind, and she is better than her master.
"My name is Li Xiaocui, and she was the personal maid of Miss's biological mother back then! Miss, you are Prince Rui's biological daughter!"
Nanny Li sighed and finally revealed the secret that had been buried in her heart for many years. But when she raised her head, she didn't see any fluctuations on Su Li's face.
Not even a tiny bit.
