Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 73 Recruitment

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and magpies were chirping around the Luo Ying Garden.

The night before, Su Ying was thinking about Su Tao and stayed awake most of the night. She fell asleep at dawn. She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the noise outside.

Su Ying half-squinted her eyes and called out: "Chunlan..."

The door was pushed open, and Chunlan walked in from the outside happily: "Miss, the prince has come to offer a job."

Su Ying's eyes opened instantly and her sleepiness dissipated instantly. She got up and put on her clothes and said, "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?"

Chunlan said while helping her get dressed: "I've called you Miss twice, but Miss insists on staying in bed. Now she'll blame me."

Xia Yu came over with a basin to help, and within a moment, Su Ying had everything sorted.

Chunlan came into the room with breakfast. Su Ying took a few bites and had the food taken away.

Su Ying asked Chunlan to go to the front hall to inquire about the news. She sat at the desk with the book spread out. Su Ying stared at the words in the book. Her thoughts had already flown to the front hall. She wished she could have clairvoyance and see the bustle in the front hall. .

Seeing that she was restless, Xia Yu brought the fruit on the table to her: "Miss, you didn't eat much for breakfast. Please eat some fruit to cushion your stomach."

Su Ying picked up a grape and peeled it absentmindedly, but looked at the door. Chunlan had been gone for an hour and no one had come back. She raised her eyes to look at Xia Yu, with a little desire in her eyes.

Seeing that her young lady was so uneasy, Xia Yu comforted her warmly: "Miss... I have inquired, and today the King of Jin came to make appointments in person. The Prince's Mansion also made appointments today, but the Prince did not go in person. , His Highness Prince Jin is extremely satisfied with the young lady. Which prince in Xia Zhaoguo can deign to condescend to hire her personally. Don’t worry, young lady."

Su Ying's eyes widened when she heard this. There was a hint of excitement in her words, and she looked at Xia Yu in surprise and asked, "Did you just say that the prince came in person today?"

Xia Yu nodded, Su Ying was stunned.

In her previous life, she didn't care about the marriage. On the day of the betrothal gift, she hid in the room and cried, not paying attention to who came to place the betrothal gift. She only focused on venting her emotions. It turned out that those details that she didn't care about were very important to him. sincerity.

She stood up and walked out. Xia Yu stopped her and said, "Miss, no, there is a master greeting you in the front hall. According to the rules, Miss cannot come forward."

Su Ying glared at Xia Yu angrily, then coquettishly took Xia Yu's hand and said, "I'm just going to take a peek, just one."

Xia Yu had a straight face and shook her head solemnly: "This matter is related to the reputation of the young lady. I will not agree to it. The door outside is open, and there are so many pairs of eyes staring at it. If someone discovers it, someone may say something tomorrow." Just gossip."

Like a deflated ball, Su Ying entered the house with her head hanging down. She paced back and forth in the house, and the bougainvillea pot next to the window saw that there were not even a few leaves left.

When it was almost noon, Chunlan's lips fluttered, a smile appeared on her face, and she returned to Luoying Garden with brisk steps.

Su Ying waited expectantly for Chunlan's news, and Chunlan poured several cups of tea before speaking.

"Miss, you don't know how much the betrothal gift is. The boxes are lined up in the entire front hall. The prince rode a big horse and came to do the betrothal gift in person."

"In addition to the betrothal gift given by the palace, the prince himself also added dozens of betrothal gifts on the gift list. I heard from onlookers that the ostentation is even comparable to the one in the Prince's Mansion."

"Everyone who was watching said that the prince has no foundation in the capital. No matter how large the betrothal gift is, it is just an example prepared by the palace for marrying the princess. Unexpectedly, the prince brought those betrothal gifts all the way from southern Xinjiang."

"Everyone watching said you are lucky."

"The wedding date has also been set. It is set on the eighth day of next month. The prince's wedding will be the sixth day of next month."

Chunlan said and handed a beautiful box in her hand to Su Ying and said: "The prince asked the slave to hand this to the lady in person. The prince said that this is not a betrothal gift, but a gift from him to the lady."

The rosewood box exuded a delicate fragrance and was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns. Su Ying recalled that Situ Jin also gave her such a box in her previous life. At that time, she took the box and threw it aside, never opening it.

She took the box in her hand and opened it gently. There was a sparkling gold hairpin inside. At the end of the gold hairpin was a hollow colorful phoenix. The colorful phoenix was carved lifelikely, with several pearl tassels hanging down, and the splendor was faintly revealed. With a hint of coquettishness.

Su Ying held the hairpin in her hand, and when the breeze blew, the tassels fluttered gently with the breeze, making a crisp sound.

The corners of Su Ying's mouth raised slightly, a smile filled her face, her clear eyes rolled back, and she murmured to herself: "It turns out that the gift he carefully prepared is so beautiful!"

Chunlan's eyes showed an expression of envy, and she echoed proudly: "The prince is so kind to the young lady. I think this gift was carefully selected by the prince."

Su Lian heard that King Jin came to betrothal in person, and she didn't believe it at first. Until the person who offered the betrothal left, she was shocked when she saw boxes of betrothal gifts filling the entire front yard.

She walked over and opened a box at random. When she saw the contents in the box, jealousy immediately appeared on her face. The contents in the box were all valuable gifts from the royal family, so they were naturally priceless.

Su Lian looked at the large and small boxes in the yard, feeling overwhelmed with emotion. She bit the corner of her lip with her teeth until it turned black.

It was Su Ying. If she could attend the concubine selection banquet, even a side concubine would be far more noble than the head wife of the Wei family.

No, she cannot marry Wei Heng. If she marries Wei Heng, then everything is a foregone conclusion and she can no longer marry the prince.

The person she likes has always been the prince, so what does Wei Heng mean? Wei Heng didn't meet her at all that day, and there was always an innocent relationship between her and Wei Heng.

If Su Ying can be a princess, she must enter the prince's palace. Even if she is a slave, she is better than the one who cannot control her own destiny now.

Su Lian walked towards Songhe Garden with some resentment. Just as she reached the corner of the corridor, there was a faint sound of conversation, and Su Lian quickly motioned to the maid next to her to stop.

"Yesterday, the second lady came to see the old lady and said that the third lady and the third son of the Wei family had been having an affair for a long time. The old lady also announced that the third lady of the Wei family would join the family today. It is expected that the third lady will also marry into the Wei family."

"Who did you listen to? Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If the old lady finds out, she will be sold out."

"I was serving in the inner hall yesterday and heard it with my own ears."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, people will hear you later."

Seeing the two maids walking away, Su Lian endured the turmoil in her heart. The opportunity finally came. With this bargaining chip, she didn't have to worry about not being able to enter the Prince's Mansion.
