Rebirth as Princess Jin again

It was dinner time when Su Quan and Su Ying returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Before Su Ying could take a sip of water, Aunt Zhu from the old lady's side came over to send a message, asking her to go to Songhe Hall.

Su Ying picked up the tea cup on the table and took a few sips, then took Chunlan to Songhe Hall.

The distance between Luoying Garden and Songhe Hall was not far. When Su Ying walked outside the courtyard of Songhe Hall, she happened to run into Su Quan.

Su Ying was a little surprised, but Su Quan said softly as if he had already seen through the world: "The palace has decreed that in a few days there will be the prince's concubine selection banquet. All daughters of officials above the fourth rank, regardless of their legitimate concubines, will join."

Su Ying's face darkened immediately. This meant that both she and Su Lian had to participate. Su Lian was a concubine. According to her nature, she definitely didn't want to attend the concubine selection banquet with the title of a concubine. I I'm afraid what I'm inviting you to today is the Hongmen Banquet.

When Su Quan and Su Ying entered, Su Lian was talking to the old lady.

Su Quan and Su Ying bowed and took their seats.

The table was full of delicacies, but Su Ying had no appetite at this moment.

Su Quan's face was pale and he wasn't very interested.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

The old lady winked at Su Lian. Su Lian picked up the jug next to her and poured a glass of wine for Su Quan. She handed it to Su Quan: "Father, in the past, it was the daughters who did not do well. Father, you have a lot of people who can." Do you forgive your daughter?"

Su Quan took the wine and placed it gently on the table without drinking it.

The old lady answered: "Boss, Su Lian is also your biological flesh and blood. Aunt Liu's mistakes should not be blamed on the child. It's been so many days and you should let it go."

Su Quan smiled and said, "As you know, my son stopped drinking more than ten years ago."

The old lady's face was a little ugly, and Su Ying snorted coldly in her heart: Su Quan was invited to drink by the old lady that night more than ten years ago, and he got very drunk. At that time, Liu Ruyan happened to come to visit the old lady. The next day When Su Quan woke up, he and Liu Ruyan slept on the same bed inexplicably. At that time, Mrs. Shen was very angry, and the two had a conflict for a while.

When the old lady forced Su Quan to marry the Liu family as a concubine, Su Quan refused to life or death. Su Quan always believed that he was wronged. He did not remember that he had touched Aunt Liu.

Later, when Su Lian was born, the old lady forced Su Quan to bring Aunt Liu and her son closer to the house, but Su Quan ignored her.

When Su Ying grew up, the old lady coaxed Su Ying on the grounds that there was no mistress in the backyard of the big house. At Su Ying's insistence, Su Quan reluctantly accepted Aunt Liu and her daughter, but in Su Quan's heart, the identity of Aunt Liu and her daughter was He still couldn't accept it, so he never stayed in her room once.

Since that night, Su Quan never drank alcohol in the house.

Su Ying watched all this with cold eyes. The old lady obviously had no intention of letting her stay out of the matter: "Ying'er, you and Lian'er used to have a close relationship as sisters. They have always taken care of Lian'er. She also explained to me what happened last time. She is I didn't pay attention when I got up and pushed you into the lake. Grandma will be a peacemaker today, and this matter will be over after you eat this meal."

Su Ying smiled faintly, her smile not reaching her eyes: "What did grandma say? This matter has already happened. If grandma doesn't mention it today, Ying'er will have forgotten about it."

The old lady smiled lovingly: "Grandma knows you are sensible."

The old lady winked at Nanny Zhu, and Nanny Zhu retreated with all the people waiting on her. She said in a deep voice: "The prince will choose his concubine in a few days. If the prime minister meets the requirements, we will It's Ying'er and Lian'er. Ying'er is the legitimate daughter. She was born with a dignified appearance, and she met the prince when she was young. The chance of being chosen is very high. Lian'er's appearance and conduct are not bad compared to Ying'er, but in the end This is a bit of a bad background.”

"Boss, what I mean is: Why not put Lian'er in the name of the Shen family? If you have the identity of a legitimate daughter and can be elected as a concubine, it will be beneficial to your future."

Su Lian looked at Su Quan with a reddish complexion, her eyes shining with expectation.

Su Quan lowered his eyebrows and said for a while: "Since ancient times, only the late mistress who has no biological children in her name needs to be adopted. Ruhua has Ying'er and Yao'er in her name. Although Su Lian is also my flesh and blood, after all, she was like that at that time. situation."

"Ruhua has not accepted Su Lian's birth, and Su Lian only recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan after Ru Hua's death. If Su Lian is named under Ru Hua's name at this moment, I don't think she would agree even if she came to know her. "

As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face was cold and she said: "Boss, I am also thinking about you."

Su Quan lowered his eyebrows and couldn't tell the emotion on his face: "If mother really cares about her son, please don't force me."

The old lady slammed the prayer beads in her hand on the table: "You have hardened your wings now. I am not dead yet, yet you dare to disobey your elders again and again."

As she spoke, the old lady looked at Su Ying with sharp eyes: "Ying'er, why don't you try to persuade your father."

Su Ying smiled, her smile full of sarcasm: "Father respects mother. As a daughter, I am naturally happy. Grandma should not bother with this matter. As long as father is happy, I respect his decision."

As soon as these words came out, Su Lian's mood instantly hit rock bottom. She looked at Su Quan with pleading eyes and said, "Does father hate me so much?"

Su Quan did not reply. He stood up and bowed to the old lady and said, "My son still has something to do, so I will leave first."

Su Ying also wanted to get up, but she heard the old lady attacking her again: "Ying'er, grandma also thinks about you. The prince and you have known each other since childhood. If you and Lian'er can enter the prince's house at the same time, the relationship between the two sisters will also be better." Someone can take care of you."

Su Ying had a look of astonishment on her face and smiled slightly: "I have no intention of entering the prince's palace, and I don't want to even be the princess. If Su Lian is willing, my grandmother can take care of her. As for me, I won't bother my grandmother." ”

When Su Lian heard this, she felt happy and confused at the same time. Everyone wanted to be the princess, but Su Ying didn't want to. No, her expression clearly showed a bit of disdain.

Su Lian is quite a princess, but the prince looks down on her low status, but she lost her virginity to the prince, who else can she marry?

The old lady didn't expect Su Ying to say this, and was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

Su Ying took advantage of the old lady's astonishment and hurriedly blessed herself.

After leaving Songhe Garden, Su Quan was standing in the pavilion outside waiting for Su Ying. The lone shadow under the moonlight made Su Ying's heart suddenly throb.

His mother's sudden death was probably a hurdle that his father would never get over in his life. He should also blame himself for why he didn't stay with his mother and wait for her to give birth. As a result, after so many years, his father has never been willing to remarry.

When Su Quan heard the noise behind him and turned around, he seemed to see Shen Ruhua coming in the moonlight. When Su Ying walked in, he came back to his senses and said, "What are you going to do about the crown prince choosing a concubine?"

Su Ying smiled lightly and said: "The emperor's decree cannot be disobeyed. I will go to the concubine selection banquet. Father, don't worry."

Su Quan reached out and touched her head and said, "It doesn't matter even if you are chosen. If you don't want to, my father will refuse this marriage for you even if he resists the decree."

Su Ying felt warm in her heart and smiled: "I will definitely not disappoint my father."
