It's spring again in March of this year, the spring is getting warmer, everything is recovering, and the spring is harmonious. The girls from the Imperial City have met again to go to the spring banquet together.
The girls seemed to have endless things to say when they got together, chattering non-stop.
At this moment, it suddenly became lively outside. Someone heard someone saying that the carriage from Jinning Palace was coming, and a group of people started talking.
"Mr. Jinning, someone is here? Who is it?"
"Who else? There are only two girls in their house now. How old is the younger one?"
"It's her. Does she still have the nerve to come out?"
There was a girl nearby who had just arrived in the Imperial City and didn't understand. She couldn't help but ask: "Who are you talking about? Why are you so shameless?"
"Who else is there? You don't know, the eighth girl from the Jinning Palace. She is already eighteen years old this year and she is not married yet!"
"I heard that Duke Jinning has been keeping her here. Does he want her to enter the East Palace?"
"What? It's true. Didn't you say you've already made an engagement?"
"It's said that they are engaged, but if someone is engaged and the girl is not married until she is eighteen years old, it may be a lie."
"Your Highness is either only sixteen, or it will take several years before he marries the Crown Princess."
A man is considered an adult when he is 20 years old and a girl is 15 years old. Therefore, it is more common for a 20-year-old son to marry a girl of 15 or 16 years old. It is very normal for a man and woman to have such a few years age difference.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to wait until he is crowned prince to marry a wife. He is only sixteen this year, which is very early. Su Luo is already eighteen this year, so she has to wait. Four years later, she will be twenty-two.
At the age of twenty-two, for many women, they are already married and have become mothers.
Will Su Luo be able to enter the East Palace by then?
Even if it was the Jinning Duke's Mansion, they couldn't stuff such an old, unmarried girl into the East Palace, right?
Everyone was talking about it, and when they saw Su Luo and others passing by, they glanced at her from time to time. Su Luo straightened her spine and turned a blind eye to all this.
After all, she had heard a lot of these gossips. She did feel a little uncomfortable at first, but then she didn't care anymore.
She has chosen a good husband, so why not wait, and it's not that she doesn't want to marry her now, it's just because she's a little uneasy and she wants to be more stable before marrying her.
Su Luo found a seat and sat down. There was a maid beside her who brought her a glass of fruit wine. She glanced around, and the voices of the people all stopped.
Nowadays, in this imperial city, apart from the prince's palace and the Zhenguo Duke's palace, the noblewoman of Jinning Palace has the most noble status. The two most noble girls present are the eldest girls of the Huaihe Prince's Palace and Su Luo.
The eldest daughter of the Huaihe Palace is the niece of Princess Rujin. Her eldest brother has been better off for a few years than her, and now his daughter is fifteen.
Because Princess Rujin has a good relationship with Su Wan, Zhao Jiyue, the eldest daughter of the Huaihe Prince's Palace, is also very close to Su Luo. The two clinked glasses and drank a glass of fruit wine.
After finishing the glass of wine, Zhao Jiyue glanced around and asked calmly: "What were you talking about just now? It's so lively, but are you willing to talk and listen?"
Zhao Jiyue naturally heard some comments just now, which made her really annoyed. She came to her spring party, knowing that she had a good relationship with Su Luo, but still gossiping at her party.
It's time to hammer it hard and let them know that these words are not allowed to be said in front of her.
When the people present heard this, their faces became a little confused.
"No, I didn't say anything..."
"That's right, I didn't say anything."
Su Luo was holding a wine glass in her hand, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes: "Since you have said it, why don't you admit it? It looks like you all dare to do it, but you don't dare to do it."
As soon as Su Luo said these words, the faces of the girls present also turned slightly red. It seems that when Zhao Jiyue and Su Luo came just now, they happened to hear what they said, and I don't know how much they heard.
I got caught gossiping about people behind their backs, so I really don’t know what to do.
Some people couldn't help but apologize: "It's rude on my part. It's an unfounded matter that shouldn't be discussed. I hope Miss Su won't blame her."
Zhao Jiyue snorted: "Since you have done something wrong, even your apology must be sincere. Isn't it a little bad to ask others to be magnanimous and not blame others so lightly?"
Su Luo shook the fan in her hand and smiled without saying a word.
The past two years have passed, and her sister and brother are no longer at home. She has also grown a lot. Now she knows what to do when faced with these situations.
Since the sisters around her want to stand up for her, she can't say that she doesn't have to.
Someone asked in a low voice: "What do you think Miss Zhao should do?"
Zhao Jiyue thought for a while and looked at Su Luo.
Su Luo then said: "In that case, I drink a glass of wine as an apology."
"I have a marriage agreement, and my future husband's family name is Huo. Due to some reasons, he has not been able to come to marry me. No matter what, I will wait for his return. I hope you will not say these words in the future."
"If you hear it again, I will ask my father to ask the elders in your family if they have raised the girl well and talked nonsense without evidence, and if they have not cultivated their oral ethics."
When the girls heard what she said, most of them believed it, and some who didn't believed it didn't dare to say anything for fear of offending her.
Su Luo drank a few glasses of wine with Zhao Jiyue, and then they went for a walk in the peach grove behind to see the peach blossoms in March.
"Don't worry about these people. Didn't His Highness the Prince come to your rescue a few days ago? These people are so jealous that their eyes are red."
The prince Zhao Mingjing has a noble status and is young and promising. The ladies from various families have been eyeing her for a long time, hoping to become the crown princess of the East Palace. It is also because of these reasons that there are so many rumors about Su Luo these days.
It is said that His Majesty's health has become worse and worse in the past two years. Maybe in a few years, the young prince will ascend the throne.
Su Luo snorted softly: "They are all short-sighted. Since you want it, then go and fight for it in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. What are you doing to do these things?"
Su Luo really felt that these people had many thoughts and it was a bit difficult to deal with them.
"Power touches people's hearts, not to mention the position of Crown Princess." Zhao Jiyue sighed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always turned a blind eye to others, but he came to your rescue last time."
Su Luo paused and said nothing. His Highness the Crown Prince came to her rescue. It was all because of her sixth sister and brother-in-law. His Highness the Crown Prince respected her brother-in-law as his husband and her sister as his mistress. When he saw something happen to her, he would naturally help her. of.
But there's nothing messy about it.
After all, the seniority is different.
And she also has Mr. Huo!
It's a pity that it's hard to say these words to others, you can only hold them in your mouth.
Su Luo puffed up her little face, a little angry: "These people are really full of food, and they don't want to have all these things."
