Chapter 188 Cannon Fodder Wife (10)
Chapter 188 Cannon Fodder Wife (10)
The still cool spring breeze blew on her face, blowing Sui Yu's long black hair as she leaned against the window to pick flowers.
Iris brought in a plate of green dumplings and looked anxious. "My wife just said she wasn't feeling well. Why did you open the window to let in the wind?"
As he said this, he quickly half-closed the window and was about to wash Sui Yu's hands.
Sui Yu's eyebrows curved, and she inserted a small bunch of peach blossoms she had just picked into Iris's hair. Then she gently extended her hand to facilitate Iris's movements, "Aren't you picking flowers for us, Iris, to tidy up her bun?"
Iris touched the peach blossoms on her hair, the sweet fragrance lingering in the air, and her face almost blushed at her wife's teasing.
"Princess Duanyang's residence sent me an invitation for the farewell flower party a few days ago. I originally said I wouldn't go, but Madam Yan sent me a message saying she would go, so Madam, you should go out for a walk as well."
Iris's eyes were sparkling. Her wife was introverted and her only close friend was Madam Yan, the daughter of the Minister of Personnel.
It’s a good thing that I have the chance to ask her to go out for a walk now.
The disappearance a few days ago also scared Iris a lot. Although she didn't know the truth, she could more or less guess a little from Sui Yu's attitude.
Maybe... there is some trouble.
But Iris believed that Sui Yu would be able to handle everything. At worst, she could divorce him and go back to find Mr. Shen and live a good life.
Sui Yu looked at the ever-changing expressions on Iris's chubby little face and couldn't help but pat her forehead. "Go, get me some writing materials. I'll write a letter to Jiaojiao."
"Eh."
The Flower Festival welcomes the Flower God, and there is also a custom of sending off the Flower God.
But compared with the former, the custom of farewell party is more popular among girls in the boudoir.
The person in charge is different every year, and this year it happened to be Princess Duanyang's turn.
Regardless of whether they are married or not, all young noble ladies will receive the invitation, but whether to go or not is a personal choice.
This grand event usually starts at the hour of Wei, so at noon on the second day, Sui Yu was pulled up by Iris to dress up.
Before going to court, Lin Shuwei instructed Iris to take good care of Suiyu and come to pick her up when he was done with his duty.
This was the first time Sui Yu went out since the Flower Festival some time ago.
The carriage parked at the main entrance was covered with shark-shaped gauze on all sides, which provided excellent privacy. From the outside, no one could see what was going on inside.
——It’s not the one I took last time.
"The master said that this carriage suits your outfit very well, so he specially ordered a new one." The servant waiting at the door hurriedly took credit.
It was obvious that he was afraid that she would be hurt by something and think of something bad.
Sui Yu was still wearing her veil hat, with her eyes lowered and without saying anything, she stepped onto the wooden table and got into the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove to the princess's mansion, and the servants at the gate led everyone into the mansion in an orderly manner.
After pondering for a moment, Sui Yu finally took off her veil.
Sure enough, no one who got off the carriage was wearing a veil.
After all, they are all girls in the boudoir and there are no outsiders. If they still have to wear a veil all the time, some people might think they are mentally ill.
But after taking off the veil, it was inevitable that people would look at Sui Yu in amazement or fascination.
She was wearing a primrose-colored soft smoke moonlight dress with floral patterns. She was dressed very low-key. She didn't wear many pearl flowers, but she was still eye-catching.
She was dressed similarly to everyone else, some even in brighter, lighter colors and more luxurious clothes, but none of them could match her charm.
When the gentle breeze blows, the thin hairbands hanging behind the head move with the wind, as if scratching people's hearts, making them feel itchy.
Sui Yu pretended not to hear anything and followed the servant into the princess's mansion. She smiled at the noble ladies who wanted to come up and talk to her, and her steps hurried.
If you look closely, it seems to have a sense of fleeing in panic, which is so cute.
Entering the princess's mansion, the garden was full of flowers. Every tree was tied with embroidered ribbons with colorful threads, which fluttered in the wind, creating a truly beautiful sight.
As I approached, I saw many noble ladies weaving new patterns together.
They would either break off willow branches and flower petals, or use silk, brocade, and gauze to fold them into sedan chairs, horses, and flags to be used specifically for offering sacrifices to the flower god.
Sui Yu stopped and found a secluded place to wait for Yan Qingyue while everyone's eyes were not on her.
Anyway, she knows her own personality and will definitely look for it in a place with fewer people.
Because of Sui Yu's behavior, Princess Duanyang had people search for a long time before they found where Sui Yu was hiding.
Princess Duanyang took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped her sweat. She closed her eyes and helplessly ordered, "You must keep an eye on her. Don't let anyone disturb Madam Lin."
After everyone left, Duan Yang started to sulk, "Do you think he's crazy? Why does he have to find someone who's already married when there are so many other people he can want?"
The nanny beside her covered her mouth and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Can that person arrange it at will?
When he first ascended the throne, there were always people secretly shouting that he was unworthy of the throne. As a result, the next day his tongue was cut off and hung at the door of his own mansion for public display.
Duan Yang was also panicked, but she was helpless. Although she was the only legitimate sister of the current emperor and was extremely noble, she had no real power.
She was also really afraid of this half-brother. Even though she was the child of the late queen, she didn't dare to confront Di Chen, for fear that she might die suddenly in the mansion.
Who knows if that madman will go crazy and do whatever he wants.
But she couldn't let the royal family lose face, not to mention that for so many years, Di Chen had only clearly expressed such desires to Sui Yu...
If she didn't help, she was really afraid that the royal family would be extinct.
She is not stupid. If she adopts a child from another royal family, the glory that her descendants should have will most likely be reduced.
Only when her descendants are firmly on the throne can she benefit from it.
Not to mention...if she contributes to the future queen, this credit...
Don't make it too obvious either.
Duan Yang even hid this matter from her husband, and only the confidants she brought out from the palace knew about it.
"Mammy, please accompany me to take a look."
On the other side, Yan Qingyue, who had finally found Sui Yu, was so angry that she laughed, "Yaoyao, when will you change your temper? You're already married but you still hide and refuse to see anyone."
Sui Yu was held by her arm, and smiled pleadingly, "I don't like crowds."
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Sui Yu didn't want to deal with so many people at all.
Yan Qingyue was simply distressed that her character had been taught too much by the palace maids. Thinking of something, she leaned forward and asked, "Are you letting Lord Lin dictate matters of the bed as well?"
Sui Yu's face flushed instantly after hearing her words, "Jiao Jiao, why are you saying this?"
"I'm just worried about you. This is very important between husband and wife. Do you remember what I told you? Have you studied the erotic pictures?"
The two of them were very familiar with each other, and Yan Qingyue was not afraid of being embarrassed. She pulled her sleeve and asked her questions.
Sui Yu couldn't resist her and nodded repeatedly, "I saw it."
A tall figure sitting on the roof facing the garden twitched his ears, his eyes full of interest.
