"You are inconvenient in Suisui, so you don't need to salute!"
The eldest princess came all the way to Lian Suisui's room, held down Lian Suisui who was about to stand up to salute, and looked at her room.
"Your room is too plain. It doesn't look like a girl's room. Qinghe, go back and move the kingfisher and peony screen that the Queen Mother gifted to me at the beginning of the year. Add a few more plum vases and put a pot by the window." Luo Hanzhu, on the dressing table... bring me my mahogany makeup set."
"Without merit and reward, how can I ask for what the Queen Mother has given to you, the eldest princess!"
The eldest princess held her hand and placed her other hand on the back of her hand.
"I see that you have a good time and everything is fine. They are just small items. Since the Queen Mother has given them to me, I have the right to dispose of them myself."
Lian Suisui was moved and moved by the eldest princess's preference.
"Thank you!"
The eldest princess smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite if I follow you."
"The eldest princess is so partial, so I should be content, but I have one thing to trouble you about."
Lian Suisui hesitated for a long time and finally said what he was thinking, "I want to ask the eldest princess to help me request the emperor to cancel my marriage to King Cheng."
The eldest princess is a member of the royal family after all, so Lian Suisui didn't intend to persuade her even once.
"I suffered a big disaster this time. If the eldest princess and the Qin family hadn't trusted me, based on my previous reputation, no one would have believed that I was injured by Princess Cheng, no matter how I explained."
"The prince doesn't like me very much. If I marry into Prince Cheng's palace, I will really be dead. Please help me beg for mercy in front of the emperor. I really don't want to marry into Prince Cheng!"
This was the second time she mentioned breaking off the engagement in front of the eldest princess, but the eldest princess did not refuse immediately.
"You really don't want to marry and become a king? Don't you regret it?"
Lian Suisui nodded affirmatively.
"No regrets!"
The eldest princess really loved Lian Suisui. Seeing that she had made up her mind to break off the engagement, she couldn't help but worry: "Sui Sui, this world is very harsh on women. You took the initiative to break off the engagement. What if you can't get married in the future?"
Lian Suisui never thought about getting married.
"Princess, my ambition is to open a medical clinic to help the world. If I can't get married, I won't get married. It won't have any impact on me. Please help me!"
The eldest princess sighed and promised: "I will try to mention it to the emperor, but I can't guarantee whether the emperor will revoke the marriage or not."
"It doesn't matter, it won't work this time. At worst, I will find a way later! Thank you!"
The eldest princess looked at Lian Suisui's face, which had lost a lot of weight, and said distressedly: "It's all my fault. I originally wanted to help you and King Cheng, but I didn't expect that I actually harmed you."
Rumors spread throughout the capital that even Sui Sui would not marry until she became king. She did not ask questions clearly, but she believed the rumors and caused such a situation!
The eldest princess felt guilty.
"You have a good rest, I will enter the palace right now!"
Lian Sui thanked the eldest princess and watched her go out.
This time, she got back a win. If she could cancel the engagement, it would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. If she couldn't cancel the engagement, at least she would have revealed Weng Ling'er's true face to the world. She would not be too passive when the two faced each other again in the future. !
After all, I still feel happy!
"Miss, Tonghua is back!"
Lian Suisui was in a daze. She was so busy that she forgot about Xia Jing'er. After all, she had accepted Cheng Wang's consultation fee. Xia Jing'er was her patient, so she should also be concerned about the patient's subsequent recovery.
"Let her in."
Xiaotao went out and brought back a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles.
"Tonghua, why are you so thin? Didn't the palace let you eat?"
When the two masters and servants were in Lian's house, the house was never short of expenses in Xia Jing'er's yard. At that time, Tonghua was still chubby with a little baby fat, but now she looks like she has shed a layer of skin.
"Xiao Tao, go get something to eat for Tonghua."
"My slave, please pay my respects to Third Miss." Tonghua bowed politely, "I heard that Third Miss was injured, so my aunt asked this slave to pay her respects to Third Miss."
Xia Jinger?
When did she become so sensible?
Lian Suisui was skeptical.
"How is your aunt at the palace?"
Tonghua was a simple girl, not the same type as Xia Jing'er. Lian Suisui asked her to sit down and replied while eating.
"Back to Miss Third, my aunt has been ill for a while. She has been a little more energetic these past two days. Miss Third is worried about her."
She was too polite, and Lian Suisui was a little unaccustomed to it. He asked a few questions and knew that Xia Jing'er was recovering well, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Tonghua wrapped the uneaten snacks in a handkerchief and stood up to leave.
"Third Miss, take good care of yourself. I have to go to the street to buy some things for my aunt, so I won't disturb you. I will leave!"
Lian Suisui didn't stop her and asked Xiaotao to send her out. She lay back on the bed and didn't know what she was thinking.
Talking about Tonghua, she went out from the back door of Lian Mansion and went straight to the drugstore on the street. She spent ten taels of silver to buy a small porcelain vase. She sneaked back to the palace and handed the porcelain vase to Xia Jing'er.
"No one saw it, right?"
Xia Jing'er asked worriedly.
Tonghua shook her head. She had no sense of presence in the palace. No one noticed her wherever she went. She would not tell anyone about things like going out to buy aphrodisiacs.
"When the prince comes back tonight, you go and bring him over."
The prince and the princess have been having some trouble recently. The prince has been sleeping in the study for two days in a row. This is her chance!
Tonghua nodded, took out the snacks brought back from Lian Mansion and put them on the table.
"I brought some snacks to the lady, please eat some first!"
When outsiders were around, Tonghua could only call her aunt, but in private she still called her the same name as before. Xia Jing'er felt complicated. She pinched a piece and brought it to her mouth, but she couldn't taste it.
They were trapped in the back house and needed money everywhere. They spent a lot of money given by their aunt and had no income, so they could only spend it carefully.
"We won't live like this forever!"
Xia Jing'er said harshly.
The sky was hazy at night. King Cheng got off the carriage and walked into the yard. Not far away, a figure lurked in the dark and peeked at him.
He thought that another maid was about to climb onto the bed, so the guards around him stepped forward to scold her.
Tonghua rushed forward and knelt in front of King Cheng.
"My slave, Tonghua, has met the prince!"
It was dark, but he could still see his face clearly.
How could such a pretty maid be able to seduce him?
Do you think that because he can accept Liansui Sui, he will fall in love with these crooked girls?
"Towed away."
He ordered impatiently and walked to the study.
Tonghua took the opportunity to break away from the guard, stepped forward and hugged Wang Cheng's leg and begged: "Your Majesty, this servant is the maid next to Aunt Xia. Auntie misses the Prince and asked the slave to invite the Prince to come and sit down!"
King Cheng was frightened by her actions, so he put his foot on her heart and kicked her out.
"You mean Aunt Xia?"
King Cheng thought for a long time and then suddenly remembered that there was Xia Jing'er in the back house.
How could she be forgotten.
Xia Jing'er was not from a high background, but her appearance and figure were pretty good. If not for this, he would not have looked down on her at the beginning.
I have been feeling upset these days, so it would be nice to have someone to relieve my boredom.
"Get up and lead the way."
Xia Jing'er dressed up well and stood at the door of the yard, looking forward to it. The prince ordered her to be grounded. She couldn't see the prince where she lived now. She didn't know if Tonghua could bring the prince.
I was feeling anxious when I saw a row of lanterns approaching from a distance.
It's the prince!
The night completely shrouded the earth in darkness. The maid added two lamps and reheated the cold meals.
"Princess, Prince, he..."
The maid who came in to report paused, "Your Majesty, he went to Aunt Xia's place in the North Courtyard."
