Su Ruotang felt itching in her throat and couldn't help coughing twice again. Her soft voice was hoarse and she said, "Songting Inn is the property of the third prince."
Tan Zhixi was slightly startled, but not too surprised.
She was already smart, and after thinking for a moment, she understood Su Ruotang's intention.
At that moment, her pupils turned cold: "Queen, this is the Hongmen Banquet."
Su Ruotang nodded, his eyes glowing with a bright rouge color due to the cough just now.
The eyes were covered with a thin mist, and when they looked over, they had a charming aura.
She pressed her temples, yawned, stood up and walked out.
Now, I can only hope that Mo Rongyan is at Songting Inn.
Tan Zhixi stood up and asked, "Where are you going?"
Su Ruotang looked back at her, took a step back and held her arm, raised her red lips slightly, and said two words, "Make up."
A consummate dapper, she doesn't allow herself to leave the house without makeup.
Half an hour later, Su Ruotang was wearing a long red dress with a waistband, and her dark hair was loosely braided with pearl hair chains, hanging down on her chest.
The light makeup softened the overly bright eyebrows, making her look like the mysterious goddess from the Nine Heavens came to the world.
When she came holding Tan Zhixi, who was also dressed in red and had dark hair pulled into a snake bun, she looked like an ink painting slowly unfolding, elegant and graceful.
Aunt Gui stood beside the carriage, the impatience in her eyes turned into surprise when she saw Su Ruotang.
She stepped forward and saluted: "I have met Miss Tan and Miss Su Er."
Su Ruotang glanced at her casually: "Mother Gui has been waiting for a long time."
Aunt Gui felt unhappy, but she said, "This is what a slave should do."
Su Ruotang's red lips raised a sarcastic arc, her gleaming peach blossom eyes seemed to contain a pool of spring water, and when she suppressed her smile, she looked beautiful and cold.
Aunt Gui glanced at her secretly, and happened to look into her cold eyes.
Suddenly, a chill rose from his tailbone, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes, "My queen is waiting for you two young ladies in the Jiaofang Hall."
...
Jiaofang Hall.
Su Ruotang and Tan Zhixi came together.
As I walked, my clothes spread out in layers, like red lotuses blooming.
When the two girls walked into the hall under the scattered sunlight, the hall seemed to be a little brighter.
When the queen looked at the bright and elegant Su Ruotang, her heart seemed to be filled with pain and swelling.
This was supposed to be her daughter-in-law!
With a kind smile on her face, she asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"
Su Ruotang knelt down, coughed twice, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
"You are not in good health. You should rest more and sit down." After saying that, the queen looked at the maids in the palace and scolded coldly: "Didn't you see the two young ladies from Tan Mansion coming? Why don't you serve tea quickly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." When the maid in pink clothes walked up to Tan Zhixi carrying a plate, she stumbled and the tea spilled on Tan Zhixi's skirt.
She quickly knelt down and said, "I didn't do this on purpose. Please forgive me, Miss Tan."
Tan Zhixi frowned and glanced at the tea-stained skirt, and said calmly: "Get up and be careful next time."
The Queen scolded her with an ugly face: "If you were careless and burned Miss Tan, even your ten lives would not be enough to repay you!"
The maid in pink looked pale and kowtowed heavily, "I know my mistake, please forgive me."
Tan Zhixi pursed her lips and looked at the queen, "Empress, my daughter is fine. She was also careless. Can you let her go this time?"
The queen's expression softened and she said coldly: "Since Miss Bentan is interceding for you, I will let you go this time. If you do it again next time, you will not be leniently spared!"
The maid in pink clothes quickly kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Madam, Miss Tan."
The queen looked at Tan Zhixi, and the coldness in her voice faded away and became softer, "I have new dresses in the side hall of the palace. You and Lanlan are similar in stature. Those dresses should be worn together. I asked Aunt Gui to accompany you." Go and change it."
Hearing this, Tan Zhixi glanced at Su Ruotang subconsciously, "My dear, my cousin rarely enters the palace. She has always been timid..."
The queen was slightly displeased in her heart, but she still had a kind and kind smile on her face, "You child, Miss Su Er is in Jiaofang Hall, with me protecting you, will something happen to you?"
Tan Zhixi secretly complained: Only because of you would anything happen.
But the queen obviously wanted to get rid of her. Since the queen's target was her, Tang'er would be safe only if she left.
Su Ruotang glanced at the tea cup on the table, with a cold look in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to hold Tan Zhixi's hand and shook it gently, "Cousin, if the empress is here, she will not let anything happen to me. Just go and put on the clothes first." Change your skirt."
After saying that, she looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, when I came from the imperial garden just now, I saw the peonies in full bloom in the garden. I asked the palace maid and said that you planted it, and I can pick one later." Go back?"
The girl's eyebrows are curved, and her clear eyes seem to be filled with a pool of spring water. When you look at her like this, she is so pure and clear that you can't bear to reject her.
The queen's heart sank slightly, she glared at Aunt Gui secretly, and said with a smile: "Of course you can."
Su Ruotang's words clearly told her that the two sisters came to Jiaofang Palace and were seen by many palace people.
If something happened to them, she wouldn't be able to escape her involvement.
With a bitter look on her face, Aunt Gui walked to Tan Zhixi and said respectfully: "Miss Tan, please follow me."
The two young ancestors had to go to the imperial garden, and she had no choice.
Tan Zhixi stood up and left with Nanny Gui.
"Ahem..." Just after Tan Zhixi stood up, Su Ruotang suddenly covered her lips and kept coughing, and her sleeve accidentally knocked over the tea cup on the low table.
His thin body trembled with the coughing, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
