Yi Xiu was the Emperor's eldest daughter and also the Empress 'biological daughter, but she was only ten years old this year. This time, none of the royal heirs came to the flower banquet. Murong Yixiu was not present.
The Empress's words were thorough and clear. If Su Xin Yan wanted to get married, no matter who her husband's family was, she had to take good care of them. If she could not stand it, then she would not be able to marry Su Xin Yan into the family.
Although she was unwilling, Madam Su still responded with a smile. He did not dare to bear a grudge against the Empress, but he blamed it on Su Xin Yan. The smile on Consort Xian's face did not change, but there was an additional probing look in her eyes that firmly wrapped around Su Xinyan below. She felt that this girl had changed. Even though he had acted like this before, he had not acted so naturally.
He remembered that the last time he saw Su Xinyan was at the palace banquet a month ago. Could it be that a short month's time could make an official's daughter who was suppressed by the mistress of the residence become like this? It was as if she had grown up all of a sudden.
Although Consort Xian never exposed other people's family matters, it did not mean that she only looked at the surface. There were some things that she saw the most thoroughly.
Even the Emperor had said that Su Xin Yan's painting and zither skills were outstanding, so the Night Pearl and Step Wave naturally belonged to Su Xin Yan. Everyone praised Su Xinyan, whether it was true or false. The people present were all able to say some superficial words. The banquet seemed to be harmonious. Su Xinyan did not hesitate and responded generously. She said a few more words about how good the other party's children were and how they would be waiting to enjoy life in the future.
She said what she should say and drank quietly when she shouldn't. Su Xin curled her lips. These words were so familiar in her previous life that it was as if they were carved into her bones. One cup after another of sake was fragrant. He suddenly realized that he should have drunk too much, but he didn't know how much he had drunk.
After the banquet ended, Su Xinyan did not leave with the people from the Su Residence. Instead, she was brought to Chengqian Palace by the Empress.
Outside, Su Xinyan looked serious and polite. However, when she entered Jiqi Building, she was like a cat without bones. She directly leaned on Qing He's body." Auntie, Xinyan's head is dizzy." Perhaps she had drunk too much sake at the banquet, her face seemed to be burning up.”
Su Xinyan knew that in front of this aunt who loved her so much, she did not have to put on airs and do unnecessary things. Su Xin Yan, who had entered Chengqian Palace, was like a cat that had taken off her outer clothes, showing her laziness. Her body was already thin and weak, and her appearance made people's hearts ache to the extreme.
As expected, before the Empress could walk to the chair, she returned to Su Xinyan's side. He placed his hand on Su Xinyan's forehead. When he touched her forehead, he felt that it was hot. He thought to himself that she should be drunk. Why was her forehead not so hot? The Empress frowned and asked Fuzi to call the imperial physician. Then, she asked Youzi to bring Su Xinyan to the side hall to rest.
Originally, she wanted to ask Su Xin Yan how she was doing these days, but the Empress was also a little unsettled by Su Xin Yan's sudden drunkenness. After changing into his usual clothes, he went to the side hall.
When the Empress arrived at the side hall, the imperial physician was carrying a medicine box over. The Empress looked at the imperial physician who rushed in and waved her hand to signal the imperial physician to come to Su Xin Yan's side. She said,"This girl said that she was drunk, bengong felt like she caught a cold.”
Su Xin Yan had indeed drunk quite a lot of wine. Now that the alcohol had kicked in, she did not feel any discomfort. However, she felt dizzy and did not have the strength to sit up.
The imperial physician checked her pulse through the curtain and leaned against the curtain to look at Su Xinyan. Although it was blurry, the imperial physician could still roughly see it.
She turned around to reply to the Empress's words." Reporting to the Empress, this young lady had caught a cold and was under the control of medicine. Her condition has been repeated and her pulse is chaotic. If she didn't use the medicine from before, Miss's condition would naturally be better, and she would only be drunk from drinking too much wine. I had someone boil some hangover soup, and it should be delivered soon.”
Perhaps the Empress was too worried, she still frowned." Imperial Physician Xu, are you sick?!" How could this girl's illness be cured without medicine?“
"Empress. Miss's illness was caused by medicine! Once the medicine stops, the illness will be cured." Imperial Physician Xu bent over and explained. He was already in his forties, and he looked even younger as a servant in the Imperial Palace.
The Empress frowned when she heard this. No one knew what she was thinking. Behind her, Youzi and Fuzi looked at the person sleeping on the couch with heartache, thinking that there was no decent person in the Su residence. The Empress looked at Imperial Physician Xu and asked him to prepare another bowl of medicine to lower the temperature.
Not long after, a young eunuch brought over some hangover soup. Suxue took it and fed it to Su Xinyan. Perhaps it was because she was too tired, Su Xinyan actually fell asleep. Just like what Imperial Physician Xu said, after Su Xin Yan drank the hangover soup, she slept for a while and when she woke up, she did not feel as dizzy anymore. When she woke up, it was already past the time when the lights were turned on.
The Empress, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, held Su Xinyan's hand and coaxed her like she was coaxing a child." Xinyan, it's already dark and the palace gates have been opened. Although you can definitely get out of the Forbidden City, isn't it troublesome? It was dark outside, so he might as well rest at his aunt's place for the night.”
Su Xin pursed her lips and could not say anything to reject such an aunt who was always thinking about her. Moreover, if he were to leave now, then the Su Wang family would spread those groundless rumors tomorrow.
Pulling the Empress's hand, Su Xin Yan said gently,""Aunt is thoughtful, Xinyan has caused trouble for Aunt tonight.”
In the dead of the night, red candles and hot tears were shed, but the Duke of Zhou refused to approach for a long time. Su Xin Yan lay there for a long time, but she did not feel sleepy. Su Xin Yan was in the desolate inner pavilion while the two girls were keeping vigil in the outer pavilion.
Suddenly, Su Xinyan sat up. Her watery eyes looked at the swaying candle flame, and then she called out the names of the two girls. Even though the two of them were already asleep, Su Xinyan's voice still made them perk up.
Suxue rubbed her sleepy eyes with one hand and patted her wrinkled belt with the other." Miss, what's wrong?”
Qing He walked in and slapped her face hard to wake herself up.
Su Xinyan smiled apologetically and said,"It's fine. I want the two of you to sleep in the cabinet. I can sleep when I see you.”
Qing He looked at Suxue in confusion and wanted to know what was going on. Suxue did not understand either. She only thought that Su Xinyan was not used to sleeping and wanted the two of them to come in and talk. There had been many such situations in the past.
The sky gradually brightened. Su Xinyan lowered her eyes and rubbed her numb calves, as if this was the only way to make her feel like she was alone.
Human? Su Xinyan's movements paused. Now, she did not know if she was a human or a ghost. The cold from before was probably almost gone, but his limbs were still a little weak.
After having breakfast at Marvelous knot Pavilion and talking to the Empress for a while, Su Xin Yan sat on the sedan chair she borrowed from the An Nation Marquis Fu. He took the reward he had received this time back to the residence.
The two servants of the Su residence stood outside the door. When they saw Su Xinyan, they only called her Eldest Miss and did not have any intention of bowing. Su Xinyan did not even look over. She only looked at the cross-country gate in front of her and brought the two girls back to her courtyard.#
