Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 51 The Emperor Arranges a Marriage for the Crown Prince (2)

Su Luoxue had dinner at the Grand Tutor's Mansion before returning in the mansion's carriage.

Originally, Madam Xiao wanted to let her rest in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Yesterday, Madam Xiao had someone vacate a courtyard for her in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, called Baoyue Pavilion. This meant that in their eyes, Su Luoxue was as precious as the moon in the sky.

Su Luoxue thought about making some pills when she returned home in the evening, so she promised to stay at the Grand Tutor's Mansion for a few more days when she had time. Only then did Madam Xiao and the old Grand Tutor let her go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After a busy night, she and her three personal maids finally rested in the late night. However, they had only slept for a few hours when they were awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

Su Luoxue turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but Meixiang hurried into the room at this time: "Miss, someone outside the door said that the master sent someone to ask you to get up immediately, wash and dress, and go to the front hall to discuss matters."

"Do you know what it is all about?" Su Luoxue asked with her eyes still half closed and yawning sleepily.

"I don't know." Meixiang replied, "I only heard from the messenger that the master specifically asked you to go, and even the old lady has arrived at the front hall first."

What on earth happened? Even the old lady was alarmed! Su Luoxue pondered in her heart.

"Okay, then help me dress up quickly! I'll go over and take a look at the situation first." After saying that, Su Luoxue forced herself to cheer up and sat up from the couch.

When she arrived at the front hall, she saw the old lady, her father, Zhang, and Su Qingrou sitting in that order. After she greeted the old lady, her father, and Zhang, she sat opposite Su Qingrou.

Today, they all dressed up, especially Su Qingrou, who was at home but dressed like she was going to a palace banquet. Zhang was wearing gorgeous clothes, smiling, with a straight back, and looking radiant. Prime Minister Su sat down and stood up again, as if he was a little restless. The old lady was much calmer and sat there drinking tea slowly.

But these people all had one thing in common, which was looking out the door.

Who are they waiting for? Su Luoxue thought, could this family attach so much importance to someone that even the old lady came out to greet him be from the palace? Or was he sent by the palace? Su Luoxue thought, it was an imperial decree, someone from the palace issued the imperial decree, and judging from their expressions, it was a happy event. And Su Qingrou dressed so well today, it was related to her, it was Su Qingrou's imperial decree to grant marriage.

Just as Su Luoxue was thinking about this, she heard someone shouting, "Eunuch Jiang is here!"

Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Jiang beside the emperor came in with four young eunuchs, and Prime Minister Su had already walked to the door to greet them.

Prime Minister Su was flattered when he saw that it was Eunuch Jiang, the emperor's attendant, who came in person to issue the imperial edict. He quickly invited Eunuch Jiang to take a seat.

Eunuch Jiang waved his hand and said, "Prime Minister Su, let's get the official business done first!"

"Prime Minister Su, please accept the order!" Eunuch Jiang shouted in his hoarse voice.

Prime Minister Su quickly knelt down, and everyone behind him knelt down to receive the order.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the second daughter of Prime Minister Su's family, Su Qingrou, is 15 years old, has a dignified character, is virtuous, gentle and honest. She is specially granted to Crown Prince Xuan Haotian as his principal wife. The marriage can be completed on an auspicious day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. This is the decree!" Eunuch Jiang read out the imperial edict loudly.

"Prime Minister Su, please accept the order!" Eunuch Jiang handed over the imperial edict.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor!" Prime Minister Su took the imperial edict.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister Su." Eunuch Jiang bowed.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Prime Minister Su took the silver bag handed over by Zhang, stuffed it into Eunuch Jiang's hand and said, "This is a little tea money for all the eunuchs. Thank you for your hard work."

"You are too polite, Prime Minister Su." Eunuch Jiang weighed the silver bag in his hand, smiled with satisfaction and said, "I have to go back to serve the Emperor, so I'll take my leave now."

"Goodbye, eunuch." Prime Minister Su sent Eunuch Jiang away, turned around and said to the butler Su Quan beside him: "Tell the kitchen to prepare a good meal at noon to celebrate."

"Yes." Su Quan took the order and went down.

"Yes, we should celebrate." The old lady said: "Qingrou has brought honor to our Prime Minister's Mansion."

At this time, Zhang was holding the imperial edict and couldn't stop looking at it. When she heard the old lady's words, the smug look on her face became even more intense.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Su Luoxue yawned, stretched, and thought that it would be more comfortable to go back to her room and take a nap.

When she turned around and was about to walk out, her eyes suddenly blurred and she saw a figure flash by, and then Su Qingrou blocked her way.

"Sister, are you planning to go back to the yard and hide away and cry?" Su Qingrou looked at Su Luoxue with contempt and asked with a smile.

"Crying? Haha...you really think too much! Why should I cry? And why do I need to hide and cry?" Su Luoxue couldn't help but laugh softly when she heard that.

"Hmph! It's because you were ruthlessly broken off your engagement by the Crown Prince, and I'm about to become the most noble Crown Princess. Hahaha, don't you feel envious, jealous or hateful at all?" Su Qingrou put her hands on her hips, her face full of arrogance and complacency, and shouted arrogantly.

"Jealous? Oh, not really. But here, I still want to sincerely congratulate you, sister. In my opinion, you and the prince are indeed a perfect match made in heaven." Su Luoxue smiled slightly and responded with her red lips.

"Of course!" Su Qingrou did not understand the deeper meaning of Su Luoxue's words at all. Instead, she responded quite complacently.

Su Luoxue really didn't want to bother with this arrogant woman anymore, so she turned around and went back to the bamboo garden.

No one else paid attention to her. The old lady went back to Anshou Hall to rest, and Prime Minister Su also returned to the study. Zhang came over and took Su Qingrou's hand and returned to Zijin Pavilion.

In the Yanchun Palace of the Imperial Palace, the Queen was sitting there thinking and had just sent away the concubines who came to pay their respects.

Last night, the Emperor came to tell her about marrying the second daughter of Prime Minister Su to the Crown Prince. Seeing that the Emperor had agreed to the marriage, she did not express any opinion.

She remembered the second daughter of Prime Minister Su's mansion. She seemed to have seen her at a palace banquet, but she didn't have a strong impression of her. She just felt that she was quite pretty.

Last time she sent Nanny Xie to investigate the Su Luoxue case, but she found nothing because the clues were broken, as if someone had done it on purpose.

Also, she has been taking the pills that Su Luoxue made for her last time for almost a month, and they are indeed very effective. Her stomach pain has stopped during the holidays this month.

In fact, she still hoped that the prince could be with Su Luoxue, but she knew that was impossible. The first time Su Luoxue was summoned, she came to see her and looked so relaxed that she knew that Su Luoxue did not have the prince in her heart.

I wonder what this Su Qingrou is like? The Queen thought, and turned to Madam Xie and said, "Pass my oral order, summon the second young lady of the Xiangfu, Su Qingrou, to the palace at the end of tomorrow."

"Yes, your majesty." Nanny Xie turned and left.
