Su Wan returned to his seat, and Shen Qingli tilted her head and smiled comfortingly at herself.
Fortunately, I was a little nervous. After all, the queen was the most noble woman in the entire dynasty.
Not long after, the Empress announced that spring had arrived and the flowers in the Imperial Garden were blooming brightly. Everyone could move around freely, or they could continue to stay in Weiyang Palace.
The ladies all had to stay with the queen and other ladies, but the ladies were free to move around.
Shen Qingli came over to find Su Wan, and the two of them were going to go out for some air.
…
Let's talk about the Qinghe Hall in the previous dynasty. Before it started, Su Jing and Su Chen were not in the same position.
They are divided between civil servants and military attachés.
Su Jing entered the palace and went to talk to the bachelor. Su Chen sat down alone in his seat. Some military attaches who had fought in the military camp came to talk to him.
The phenomenon in the previous dynasty was that civilian officials had always disdained being in the same league as military attachés.
Jiang Yu and Duke Jiang Guo attended together. He had no official position and was wearing ordinary clothes.
Wearing purple gold clothes and a mask, he had dressed up well today, and he had regained the image of a noble and aloof young man.
It's just that his appearance has always been a mystery in Kyoto, and he rarely appears in front of people, always wearing a mask.
So much so that everyone thought the prince Jiang Guo was ugly.
With him was his concubine Jiang Yan.
This guy has never made any achievements on the battlefield. He has been playing soy sauce anyway. He is just a useless piece of shit. Jiang Yu doesn't take him seriously at all.
Murong Huai also came and went directly to Su Chen. The generals greeted him one after another.
Jiang Yu greeted Duke Jiang Guo and came over.
As soon as he sat down, he could feel the cold aura emanating from Su Chen's body.
Murong Huai saw him wearing a blue official robe and joked:
"Hey, don't say it. Don't say it. Brother Chen looks like that when he puts on this outfit. Don't you think so, Brother Jiang?"
Jiang Yu nodded, acquiescing. He poured a glass of wine and toasted Su Chen:
"Congratulations, General Su. General of the City Defense Battalion is a good official position."
In the past, in the military camp, among their colleagues, they all called him Deputy General Su to the outside world. Now, he has been officially promoted to General, and he is known as General Su in front of others.
However, Su Chen glanced at him sideways, kept a straight face, drank a glass of wine silently, then slammed the glass on the table, but did not answer, and even snorted coldly, saying that Jiang Yu's nose was not his nose, his eyes were Not for the eyes.
Murong Huai was stunned. What was going on?
"Brother Jiang, have you made Brother Chen unhappy?"
Jiang Yu was also confused. He didn't know where he had offended Su Chen.
Turning his head, he happened to meet Su Jing's eyes. Su Jing glanced at him lightly and then turned his head.
Why do two people from the Su family feel so hostile to him? Jiang Yu is also nonsense.
But now he is thinking about how to see Su Wan later.
Su Wan is now in Weiyang Palace not far from him. He hasn't seen her for almost three years. The person he misses the most is Su Wan and he can't wait to run to Weiyang Palace to see her now.
Su Chen had never had such an attitude towards him. Jiang Yu couldn't understand it until the emperor came and he was forced to return to his seat.
The two looked at each other in the distance, Su Chen still had a cold attitude, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.
It turned out that when she had just separated from Su Wan, Su Jing told him about the love between her sister and Jiang Yu.
Su Chen had been kept secret for three whole years, could he not be angry?
He always knew that Jiang Yu had a girl he liked, but he never thought that this person was his biological sister.
The best brother, secretly hiding it from himself, and his sister have a lifelong relationship. He only found out after a few years, or from the mouth of his eldest brother. How can he not be angry?
After the emperor arrived, he began to exchange cups with the ministers and generals.
Jiang Yu had been waiting for an opportunity. When the opportunity came, he waved his hand and called his accompanying boy over, whispered a few words in his ear, and then gave him something.
The servant nodded while listening, and then found an opportunity to exit the hall.
After a while, the boy came back and whispered a few words in Jiang Yu's ear. The corner of Jiang Yu's mouth under the mask curled up and waved him away.
Justice Jiang Guo was talking to the emperor. When Jiang Yu found an opening, he whispered to his father:
"I'm a little drunk, let's go out to relieve the drunkenness."
Hearing this, Duke Jiang Guo nodded slightly and continued to return his attention to the emperor.
He pursed his lips and thought, this son of his has always been so indifferent to him, but when he returned to Kyoto, he wore such a mask, as if he was shady.
That's all, as long as he is happy and doesn't cause trouble.
But when he thought about it again, he was satisfied when he looked at his other incompetent son.
Jiang Yu can be relieved. At least he doesn't get angry with himself, doesn't cause trouble, and does things very appropriately.
Moreover, on the battlefield, he could see his performance, which was worthy of his status as the prince of Jiang Kingdom.
…
In the Royal Garden, Su Wan and Shen Qingli had just left Weiyang Palace. The two were holding hands and preparing to find a place to sit down and talk.
At this time, a palace maid appeared in front of the two of them.
She leaned forward and asked:
"Excuse me, are you the daughter of Mr. Su's family?"
Seeing this, Su Wan looked at Shen Qingli and then nodded:
"It's me, what's wrong?"
After confirming her identity, the palace maid thrust the note into Su Wan's hand and left.
Su Wan looked at the note in his hand and was a little confused. Then he opened it and saw that Shen Qingli also saw it.
It says:
"I'll wait for you at the Royal Garden Plum Grove!"
Sign it, Jiang Yu!
Seeing Jiang Yu's signature, Su Wan's heart was pounding and she quickly held the note in her hand.
Su Wan told Shen Qingli this secret, so Shen Qingli knew about her and Jiang Yu.
Shen Qingli was right next to her, and she naturally saw every word on the note.
She immediately covered her mouth with a bruised expression on her face.
"Prince Jiang wants to see you, go quickly!"
She knew that the two had not seen each other for three years, and it was most difficult for two people in love to understand the meaning of lovesickness. She had been there, and she understood.
Su Wan also wanted to see him, and she really wanted to see him, so she didn't hesitate and asked Shen Qingli directly how to get away from Meilin.
Shen Qing has been here more than once since she was a child, so she naturally knows how to get around.
"Merlin is a bit far away from here, and the plum blossoms have stopped blooming at this time. There are only bare branches. No one will go there. I will take you there. It's dark and the road is far away. I'm afraid you won't be able to find it."
The two of them each brought their maids. In order to save time, Shen Qingli simply took her there.
So, the four of them headed towards the Plum Grove. Palace lanterns were lit on the road to the imperial garden. Liu Ying and Leer each carried a lantern to guide the way. The further they walked towards the Plum Grove, the further away they were from the hustle and bustle.
After arriving at Meilin, Shen Qingli prepared to take Leer back and let Liuying guard outside.
She never forgot her instructions:
"Watch the time and go back to Weiyang Palace as soon as possible. Don't let anyone see you."
Su Wan nodded, and Shen Qingli left with peace of mind.
