After changing into a solemn official uniform, Su Lihua quickly came to the entrance of the mansion.
Apart from the commoners coming and going, there was a carriage parked at the door. Standing beside it was an old eunuch with a few strands of white hair. There were four eunuchs in blue palace robes around him.
"Eunuch."
"Lord Su."
The leading eunuch and Su Lihua gave each other a greeting at the same time to show their courtesy.
"Eunuch, do you know what happened?" Su Lihua asked doubtfully. He was indirectly asking why the Emperor wanted him to enter the palace.
In fact, most officials would do this kind of thing. As long as they were lucky enough to be called into the palace by the Emperor, they would try to dig something out from the mouths of the eunuchs who came to escort them. This kind of thing was mutually beneficial, because as long as the eunuch said something, he would be able to get the official's silver.
This had already become an unwritten rule.
"Hehe." The father-in-law smiled and winked at Su Lihua." Master Su! It was a good thing! You gave birth to a good son! It was a good thing to bring honor to his ancestors!”
Good son? A good thing to bring honor to his ancestors? Su Lihua was confused and continued to look at the old eunuch in confusion.
The father-in-law did not say anything more. He smiled and shook his head at Su Lihua." Sir, why are you asking so much? The Emperor asked you to enter the palace to explain things to you."”
Su Lihua pursed her lips and nodded." Father-in-law is right.”After saying that, he gave the butler a look, and the latter knowingly handed him a rather heavy money bag.
Su Lihua took the purse and handed it to the old eunuch." Eunuch, let's go."”
"Let's go. Let's go." The old eunuch smiled and put away the money bag. He weighed it in his hand and felt that it was quite heavy. Then he smiled and asked the people to hurry on.
The butler looked at the royal carriage that had left and smiled. He turned around and was about to return to the manor when he heard a servant beside him look at the road opposite and shout," Another royal carriage is coming!”
The butler was stunned by these words. He slowly turned around and took a closer look. It was another royal carriage! Moreover, it was of a higher standard than the carriage that had come to pick up Su Lihua.
It must be someone from the palace!
The butler's eyes lit up. He stood at the entrance of the manor and waited for the carriage to stop.
There was only the Minister's Residence on this street, so the butler was sure that this carriage was coming to the Minister's Residence.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Minister's Residence.
Only then did the butler see clearly that the carriage was accompanied by a very good-looking man and two women. However, the man had a cold aura that kept people away, and he was holding a sword!
The two accompanying women were of the same height and wore pink palace robes. They slightly raised their chins and carried a sense of arrogance.
In addition, there were six guards with sabers following behind the carriage. The six of them were all dressed in bright imperial guard uniforms, and their eyes were looking straight ahead. They seemed to be looking straight ahead, giving off a sense of oppression.
Such a group of people made people feel afraid from afar. However, the commoners were curious. They were curious about who was traveling on such a large scale.
Therefore, the commoners could not help but stop and watch, wanting to see who was in the carriage.
As soon as the carriage stopped, two female officials stood on both sides." The princess has arrived!”The two female officials sang in unison.
The female official on the right took a small stool from the side of the carriage and placed it on the ground.
A woman in a peach-colored flowing light dress came out of the carriage. The woman was wearing a jade mask, but her pretty face was covered by a pink veil. The two willowy eyebrows that were exposed raised, and her eyes stared straight at the plaque with the words " Minister's Residence ".
The butler and his men bowed to the woman who came out of the car." Long live the Eldest Princess!"”With the butler's shout, the surrounding commoners also understood who it was. The royal family was supreme, and the Eldest Princess was here. The commoners all knelt down and saluted. The scene was rather grand.
This person was the daughter of the Empress, Murong Yixiu.
The woman's lips under the veil curled up. Because she was smiling, her eyes were also curved, like the bright moon on the first day of the lunar month.
"No need for formalities." Murong Yixiu said loudly. She took two steps forward and stopped beside the butler who had yet to get up. Murong Yixiu smiled," Steward, it's rude of me not to send an invitation." However, it was not easy for this princess to leave the palace today. I hope that the housekeeper will inform Xin Yan and tell Youngest Biao Sister that I came to see her.”
By calling her younger cousin, she was not only pointing out Su Xinyan's status, but also indicating that she had a close relationship with Su Xinyan.
The butler's eyelids twitched violently. Eldest Miss Su Xinyan was still kneeling in the ancestral hall.
And now, the Eldest Princess had specifically asked to see her!
Who was the eldest princess? The Empress 'only daughter, the Emperor's most beloved daughter, and her maternal grandfather's family was still the Marquis of the Anguo Manor!
If the Eldest Prince had not passed away, the Eldest Princess would still have a brother who loved her dearly.
Murong Yixiu could tell that something was wrong with the butler's stiff body, but she still smiled politely and stepped into the Minister's Mansion first.
The housekeeper was shocked and hurriedly ran into the manor to stop the Eldest Princess. "Eldest Princess! Please take a rest in the front hall. This servant will send someone to report to the young miss and let the young miss make preparations.”
In such an urgent situation, it was not easy for the butler to come up with such an excuse. Unfortunately, Murong Yixiu had lived in the palace since she was young and had developed a defensive heart, so she did not believe in such words.
"Presumptuous! You dare to block this princess 'path? It seems that Lord Su is too indulgent.”Murong Yixiu's gentle demeanor changed and she suddenly became serious.
When Murong Yixiu entered the manor, the six guards also entered the manor and followed behind her. Seeing that the steward's actions were inappropriate, the female official waved her hand." Take this person down. How dare he disrespect the princess!"”The two guards in the lead did not hesitate at all. They took two to three steps forward to grab the butler.
Murong Yixiu was usually a gentle person and would not lose her temper at others. Now that he was giving this butler a hard time, it was obvious that he wanted to teach him a lesson. The female official beside Murong Yixiu knew this very well, which was why she did this.
"Princess, please forgive me!" The butler opened his eyes and begged for mercy. How could he not understand? This princess must be dissatisfied with him.#
