Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 181 Getting Married Soon
Early July.
The autumn wind is blowing hard, and the preparations for the Qingwei Chamber of Commerce have come to an end. The long-awaited auspicious day will be opened three days later.
At the beginning of the opening, Sun Youwei also ran around, inviting young ladies from official families that she was familiar with to come to the opening to show their support, so that there would be more fun.
Su Xuqing was also not idle. She handed a visiting card into the Princess's Mansion, hoping to invite the young Princess Tang Xue to come three days later.
The idea of inviting people to show support was proposed by Xu Mo. He said that if there were noble people supporting the event, common people would come to watch the fun, and the publicity would be twice as effective with half the effort.
Soon after Yinhuan handed in the business card, a maid came out to greet her.
"Please follow me, Princess. My little princess is waiting for you inside."
Su Xuqing followed the maid through the corridor to the backyard of the Princess's Mansion. In the southeast corner of the backyard, there was a small building made of pink jade. The attic was Tang Xue's boudoir.
"Little Princess, the Crown Princess is here."
Outside the door, the little maid whispered something, and as soon as the words fell, a hoarse and lost voice came from inside.
"Sister Su, please come in."
Su Xu's clear, autumn-like eyes moved, and she sensed the slightly depressing atmosphere.
Stepping over the threshold and around the screen, Su Xuqing saw the little princess curled up on the bed with disheveled hair.
Tang Xue sat up listlessly, her hair disheveled, her eyes red beneath her hair with traces of tears, obviously she had just cried.
"Little Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Su Xuqing looked worried as she sat beside her and tucked Tang Xue's hair behind her ear with one hand.
Tang Xue raised her cheek, tears all over it.
"Sister Su, in one month, the Emperor will marry me off to a strange place, with someone I don't even know..."
Tang Xue's eyes were filled with pain. She hugged Su Xuqing tightly, buried her head in her chest and sobbed, "I don't want to go. I really don't want to go. Sister Su, I regret it. I shouldn't have removed the freckles on my face..."
Su Xuqing didn't know what to do when she heard the sobs, so she could only pat her back gently with her hands.
"This is my fault. If I hadn't been so nosy..."
Before Su Xuqing finished speaking, Tang Xue covered her mouth with her hands, "Sister Su, how can I blame you for this? You can't predict the future. This... is all my own fault."
With a soft sigh, Su Xuqing hugged Tang Xue in his arms.
"Little Princess, don't be sad yet. Since there is still a month left, you can wait until a month later before being sad. You should have fun now. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to waste the last month?"
Tang Xue bit her lip and nodded with tears in her eyes.
"But I don't know where to go. I can't be happy alone."
"It's okay, I'll stay with you."
Su Xuqing planned to put the Chamber of Commerce matters aside. Since Xu Mo was helping Sun Youwei anyway, she couldn't get involved in business matters, so she might as well just accompany her and have some fun during this time.
After a pause, Su Xuqing slowly said, "A few days ago, on my way back to Beijing, I saw a Taoist temple on Xiliang Mountain outside the city that was very popular. Why don't you come with me to take a look and pray for blessings. Maybe there will be such a change in the last month?"
Tang Xue got up from Su Xuqing's arms and wiped her tears.
"Then wait for me to wash and dress, and then we can go and pray together."
The little maid with a small oval face suddenly perked up when she saw her princess. She was as happy as a little sparrow. She busied herself fetching water, helping Tang Xue wash and dress, and doing her makeup.
Outside the door, the eldest princess leaned against the pillar and smiled slightly. She turned and left, with a hint of loneliness in her figure.
Back then, she had no choice but to marry the prince consort. Now, who her daughter marries is still decided by the emperor, and she is powerless to change anything.
The royal family is born noble, but they cannot control their own destiny.
This feeling is like borrowing money from God. Even if you have a lifetime of wealth and glory, you will always have to pay it back with freedom.
Half an hour later, Tang Xue, wearing a fiery red skirt, and Su Xuqing walked down the stairs hand in hand, got into the carriage and headed out of the city.
In the alley opposite the Princess's Mansion, a pair of eyes stared at the carriage with a hint of a sneer.
This trip out of the city was a spur of the moment decision, and Su Xuqing did not bring the guards from the Prince of Zhennan's Palace with her. Instead, she was accompanied by a team of six guards from the Princess's Palace.
At the south gate of the capital, Su Xuqing's carriage had already left the city. Another fifty miles to the south would bring them to Wuyun Mountain, and they would be there in an hour and a half if they rode at full speed.
With armed guards leading the way, the journey was smooth and the group arrived safely at the foot of Wuyun Mountain.
As she was in a hurry, Su Xuqing forgot to prepare some clean water, and her tongue was dry after rushing for half a day at the intersection.
Fortunately, there was a house at the foot of the mountain, so she got off the carriage and went over to ask for water.
When the farmer in the wooden house saw that a distinguished person had come to visit, he hurriedly took his son to boil a pot of hot tea, took out a dozen chipped porcelain bowls, and poured a bowl for each person.
Before leaving, Su Xuqing asked Yinhuan to leave five taels of silver as tea money.
The farmer's hands were shaking with excitement as he took the ingot of silver.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
The carriage came and went in a hurry. The farmer was in a good mood and was about to pack up the porcelain bowls and wash them, but he heard the neighing of horses outside the door again.
He leaned outside and saw that the person coming was a one-eyed man with a knife.
"Old man, please give me a bowl of water..."
The one-eyed man looked at the table full of bowls and raised his eyebrows, "Are there any guests?"
"Just now, a noble lady who looked like a fairy drank a bowl of water here, and now she has gone up the mountain with many guards."
The old man was in a good mood, so he said a few more words, "That nobleman was very generous. He drank a few bowls of coarse tea and gave me a silver ingot as a reward."
A smile appeared on the one-eyed dragon's lips. It seemed that his target had indeed reached Wuyun Mountain.
"Thank you, old man."
"Haha, my brave man, you haven't even had your tea yet. It's too early to thank me..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man's pupils suddenly dilated, and a black knife stabbed him through.
"father!"
The old man's son was just bringing out tea. When he saw this scene, his eyes widened and the tea bowl fell to the ground in an instant.
"I'll fight you!"
The Taoist temple on Xiliang Mountain is called Wuyun Temple. It is usually very popular and attracts many pilgrims.
The carriage stopped outside Wuyun Temple. Su Xuqing opened the curtain and was stunned for a moment, because the gate of Wuyun Temple was closed and there was no pilgrim nearby.
How is this going?
Su Xuqing got off the carriage and knocked on the door.
After a moment, a little Taoist boy opened the door.
"Layman, my master has gone out to travel. The Taoist temple will no longer welcome visitors for half a year. A notice board has been put up at the foot of the mountain. Didn't you see it?"
The little Taoist boy looked at Su Xuqing with dark eyes and said.
"This……"
Su Xuqing looked at the guards of the Princess's Mansion, and the guards shook their heads.
Tang Xue suddenly felt disappointed. She pulled Su Xuqing's sleeve and said, "Forget it, let's go back."
