Traveling to ancient times to become a princess, she wins every step of the way

Three days later, Furong Pavilion

Early in the morning, Luzhu prepared several sets of dresses and headdresses for Su Liluo to wear to the palace for banquets.

Su Liluo looked at it and chose a floor-length skirt embroidered with golden larks in scarlet color, paired with a tasseled shawl on the shoulder made of diamond-patterned brocade material of the same color.

As soon as she saw this dress, she couldn't help but think of Wen Tingyun's words: "The new post is embroidered with ruffles, and both are golden partridges."

Dongling Kingdom regards birds as auspicious omens. When participating in large-scale sacrifices and palace banquets, in addition to the concubines and princesses in the palace who can wear phoenix-patterned dresses, the princesses and ladies must fold silk bird feather skirts.

When the dress is made, the number of bird feathers on the dress will be determined based on the person's status.

According to etiquette, Su Liluo is Princess Rui and should wear a bird feather skirt with twelve pairs of feathers.

But because she and Long Yunxuan had not been married for long, the palace's clothing bureau had not yet produced her dress.

As a rule, she is a bride, and she has to wait until the end of the year for the royal sacrificial ceremony at the earliest to wear the dress.

No one expected that Emperor Dongling would make an exception and allow her to participate in the annual palace banquet - Jialan Banquet in advance as Princess Rui without having participated in the royal sacrificial ceremony.

The Jialan Banquet is considered an annual feast for the Dongling royal family. In addition to members of the Dongling royal family, the banquet also includes distinguished guests with prominent status in the Dongling Kingdom, such as the Duke's Palace, the General's Palace, and the Prime Minister's Palace.

The people presiding over the banquet are all the queen mothers or empresses of Dongling Dynasty. Now that the Queen Mother of Dongling is in her prime, she naturally has someone to take care of it.

To put it bluntly, this Jialan Banquet is a feast for selecting concubines and son-in-laws for the royal children of the right age.

In the past, when Su Liluo was out of the palace, Su Xiang once thought of taking her to attend the Jialan Banquet.

But when he thought about her relentless pursuit of Prince Jing, he stopped thinking about it.

So every time Su Liluo begged him to take her to a banquet, she could only coax her by saying that if she was granted a marriage by the emperor to someone else at the banquet, she would have no chance with King Jing.

Su Liluo was not interested in the people or things in the palace. She only had a soft spot for King Jing. After hearing Su Xiang's words, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​attending the Jialan Banquet.

And all the princesses will not be invited to the Jialan Banquet when they are still brides in the first year of their marriage.

After all, if a couple is newly married and the emperor or empress falls in love with another woman on behalf of his son at the Jialan Banquet, wouldn't it cause an ugly scene?

So this time, when the Queen Mother saw her name in the list handed over by the person below, she asked specifically.

When he learned that she disguised herself as a man and went to the gambling shop to win three thousand taels of gold from the Luo family's bully, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her name in a daze for a long time.

The Queen Mother then said to the steward next to her, "The Ai family didn't expect that that crazy girl from the Su family could be so capable."

Previously, Su Liluo and Long Yunxuan had been ordered to get married, and the Queen Mother was going to Mount Wutai to fast and pray for blessings. It was not until several days after their wedding that the Queen Mother returned to the palace.

The story of Su Li's fall into the lake also directly reached her ears. The Queen Mother was not very optimistic about the marriage at first, and her impression of her was even worse.

After all, everyone knew that Su Liluo was pestering King Jing.

Therefore, she sent someone to convey Yi's decree, and instead of Su Liluo and Long Yunxuan entering the palace together to say hello, she only allowed Long Yunxuan to enter the palace alone to have lunch with her and chat for a while.

At that time, the Queen Mother specially comforted Prince Rui and asked him to be more open-minded about everything. Even if she, the Queen Mother, felt sorry for him, she could not easily change his father's decision.

He also said that if he has someone he likes in the future, he can go to the palace at any time to ask her for a marriage and help him bring that woman into Prince Rui's palace as a concubine.

The Queen Mother at that time really thought that since Long Yunxuan married the arrogant and rude Su Liluo according to the decree, she would stay away from her in the future.

**

Su Liluo changed her clothes and put on her headdress. She instantly looked dignified and elegant, which was completely different from her previous charming and charming look.

Sitting on the swing in the courtyard of Furong Pavilion, I waited for a long time, but there was no sign of Long Yunxuan.

Because of the flood, Long Yunxuan was admitted to the palace by Emperor Dongling to attend the morning court.

Before setting off, he specially ordered Li Fei to come over and deliver a message, saying that after the court was over, he would come back to pick her up and take her to the palace to attend the Jialan Banquet.

Su Liluo raised her hands to block her eyes, looking at the sun getting bigger and bigger in the sky, wondering whether Long Yunxuan could return home before noon.

After the court was over, Emperor Dongling directly left Long Yunxuan in the palace. At this moment, he frequently raised his eyes to look at the hourglass in Dafu Palace.

He felt inexplicably anxious, and even Emperor Dongling didn't listen to what he was talking to.

"Prince Rui, what do you think?"

"Prince Rui?"

Eunuch Hu, who had been with Emperor Dongling for many years, was full of thoughts. He raised his hand and gently pulled Long Yunxuan's sleeve, and reminded him in a low voice: "Prince Rui, the Emperor is asking you a question..."

Long Yunxuan finally came back to his senses, saluted Emperor Dongling and said, "Father, please forgive me, I was temporarily distracted."

Emperor Dongling was silent at first, raised his hand to cover his docile beard, and then said with a smile: "Prince Rui is thinking about Princess Rui in the palace?"

The wise son, Mo Ruofu, has looked at the hourglass on the wall dozens of times since he entered the Great Fortune Hall.

Who has never been young? Looking at his youthful look, how could Emperor Dongling not see what Long Yunxuan was thinking.

Long Yunxuan did not deny it, he lowered his eyes and smiled and said: "Father is very knowledgeable about things. My son did make an appointment with the princess before going out. After the court is over, he will go back to take her into the palace together."

"That's all, that's all. It's true that I delayed my Xuan'er's important event. Okay, that's it for today, you can go back first."

"Yes, I would like to thank my father. I will retire."

As soon as Long Yunxuan left, Emperor Dongling laughed out loud, and he said to Eunuch Hu next to him: "Did you see that before, I was so disgusted with others, but now, even sitting in front of me, I can't help but be distracted. It’s too late to keep your child alive!”

Eunuch Hu stepped forward and squeezed Emperor Dongling's shoulders, and said with a smile: "In the future, Your Highness Prince Rui will have to thank His Majesty for your sharp eyes and your ability to recognize people."

Emperor Dongling was so elated by his words that he smiled and said, "You old fox, you are the only one who knows how to flatter me."

Emperor Dongling looked at Long Yunxuan's hurried away figure and sighed in his heart.

Father, I have followed your instructions and betrothed the Su family's daughter to my best son, but I don't know if Xuan'er can really change that girl's mind!

Just when Su Liluo was too bored with waiting and was about to fall asleep, her familiar footsteps came from the courtyard gate.

Long Yunxuan is back! ?

She raised her hazy eyes and looked towards the courtyard gate.

She saw Long Yunxuan, dressed in court uniform, walking towards her with steady steps.

"Princess, I am here to take you to the palace to attend the Jialan Banquet."

"Ok.……"

Su Liluo curled her lips and smiled, that smile was brilliant and charming in the sunshine.
