Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 229 I Don't Believe in Fate
"I have met Prince Rui." Su Tiange gave Xiao Ruifu a blessing, standing by the door in a dilemma.In the past, whether her memory was wrong or the world had changed, Xiao Rui was no longer the person she would like to go to the corner of the street.Originally in Yangcheng, she actually chose Xiao Rui, because in the memory of that life, Xiao Rui was humble and kind.That's why she handed over Xingniang to him to deal with the person he and the eldest princess said had received the holy will.

Later she found out that this was not the case, and gradually began to alienate him and chose Xiao Xuan, because she felt that Xiao Xuan was more honest than him.

"Come in, this king doesn't eat people." Xiao Rui came out and stood sideways by the door, Su Tiange smiled dryly and entered the library.

"If the prince has something to do, just go and get busy. The minister came to the library because he was bored, and wanted to find some books to pass the time."

"My lord calculates that you have at most one day of tomorrow when you have such a leisurely life. When those beautiful girls enter the palace, you have to carefully observe everyone's words and deeds in front of them. You will be more detailed when you submit the records to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future." It is reasonable and well-founded, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.”

Su Tiange curled his lips, thinking that the emperor was picking on his wife, not his courtiers.

Heh, Xiao Rui chuckled lightly for some reason, "Do you think that this is picking the beauties of the harem and not the courtiers before, so there is no need to be too strict?"

"No, after all, as a female official appointed by the Queen Mother, I still have to take responsibility."

"That's good. I believe that female officer Su will be a conscientious and good female official, and she will definitely select a group of women with both ability and political integrity for the harem of Dali." Xiao Rui gave Su Tiange a high hat, and Su Tiange only felt toothless acid.

"What the lord said is."

Speaking of this, there is basically nothing to say, but Xiao Rui casually pointed to the stairs that Su Tiange could not go up before and said: "This king is looking up some old things on it, why don't you go up and have a look, there are many things hidden on it. Many medical books are orphans, which are hard to find outside."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness. You also said that I only have these two days of free time. I need to calm down and study the medical books. The current situation is not suitable for me." Su Tiange still remembered that Shen Yu said that that level is not just anything Everyone can enter, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

"Then you look for a book first, and I will talk to you in detail after I clean up." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he did not allow Su Tiange to refute, then turned and walked to the second floor. The book of strange news from various places came out.She left Fu'an Palace after she finished investigating the matter of the Hermit Clan last time. She probably forgot the book in Fu'an Palace, but she never expected to be sent back.

The book was very thick. Su Tiange carried the book to an empty shelf on one side. When the pages were upright, she caught a glimpse of the middle pages being painted light gray. When she opened it, she saw nothing.

Su Tiange looked around, then squatted down and moved the pages of the book to the edge of the wooden grid, and found that piece of gray again.She pressed the little bit of gray with her fingers and turned it over again, and found some shallow marks and words smeared with powdered sugar on the page about the hermit family records.

Su Tiange saw those words in the light of the sky, wiped off the powdered sugar with his fingers, and then slowly closed the book, feeling his nose a little sore.It was the record made by Suhua to remind her to pay attention to some people. She couldn't imagine what kind of mood Suhua had in doing this at that time.There was a sound on the stairs, Su Tiange blinked and closed the pages of the book and put them back, then picked up another book and opened it.

"Miss Su, if you want to see it, you can take it back."

"Alright." Su Tiange closed the book and came out from the middle of the bookshelf, "Your Highness, are you done with your work?"

"Well, I just came here to look up some past events, and I'll be fine after reading it. Let's go." Xiao Rui stood in the door and let Su Tiange go out, and he followed.

"My lord, can I ask you what you want to discuss with me in detail?"

"It's nothing particularly important." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that after the Second Young Master Xiao proposed a marriage proposal to you but you rejected him, he is no longer welcome among women from aristocratic families in the capital."

"This...it's true that I'm not good enough for Second Young Master Xiao, and I've caused Second Young Master Xiao to be made fun of." Su Tiange didn't know if Xiao Rui's sudden interest had any special purpose.

"Miss Su, don't underestimate yourself, at least in the eyes of this king, you have both ability and political integrity." Xiao Rui's sudden affectionate face made it difficult for Su Tiange to adapt for a while.

She smiled and said: "The prince and the queen mother want to go together, so the minister can enter the palace as a female official and supervise the virtue of the beautiful girl."

Xiao Rui smiled and did not continue this topic. Seeing that the two of them were approaching the gate of Fu'an Palace, he glanced at Su Tiange and asked, "Do Miss Su believe in fate?"

"I haven't thought about it."

"This king has never believed in fate since he was a child. I remember that when my mother and concubine were just talented, I was bullied in this palace. Everyone told me to keep my identity in mind, even my mother The concubine also said that if we want to survive in the palace, we have to accept our fate. But one question that this king has been unable to understand is why this king has to be bullied by others even if he is also a prince, and this king refuses to accept his fate."

Xiao Rui paused after finishing speaking, as if he felt that he had talked too much, so he changed the subject, "Is there any other meaning for me to tell you this, it's just a moment of emotion when I see the palace walls that I often pass by here."

"My lord has already reached the point where no one dares to underestimate him. You don't have to dwell on the past anymore."

"Miss Su, this king..." Before Xiao Rui could speak, he was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps from behind.Su Tiange turned his head and saw that it was Nanny Zhang.

"My maidservant has seen the prince." After Zhang Nanny finished speaking, she glanced at Su Tiange, and Xiao Rui knew it well, so she waved her hand to get Zhang Nanny to get up.

"what's up?"

"Yes……"

"My lord, since we have arrived at the gate of Fu'an Palace, why don't you go in and greet the Queen Mother. I have something to do, so I can't accompany my lord." Su Tiange looked at Nanny Zhang's expression, and knew that she had some words that she didn't want Xiao Rui to know. Then he resigned with Xiao Rui and followed Nanny Zhang to Jinxiu Garden.

"Miss, do you still remember that day when I met Aunt Yuanyi, she was scolding the two little maids?" Su Tiange nodded, and Mammy Zhang continued: "The two little maids went to the Clothes Bureau to report that day, and it turned out that today Chenshi It was found that both of them had died in the room. The imperial concubine had ordered someone to seal up the yard, so I asked Miss Su to take a look."

It has been more than one hour since Chenshi, and what happened in the interim.

"Did something else happen in the middle?" Su Tiange asked Nanny Zhang.

"Didn't Aunt Yuanyi reprimand the two of you just now, so she was arrested and tortured, but she didn't ask anything. Fortunately, the imperial concubine rescued her in time and saved her life. This was a delay."

"Which empress in the palace?"

"Concubine Ning."
