Chapter 309 The Will of the People
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be appropriate for Su Ruofeng to enter Murong Jing's bedroom, but Murong Jing's situation is special; he is a disabled person.
Su Ruofeng had no choice but to take Su Mowan inside.
Although this was probably the first and last time Su Ruofeng would enter Murong Jing's bedroom, there was only one bed. Su Ruofeng found the right spot and carried Su Mowan over.
Su Mowan was carried in a princess carry by her two brothers in one day, which made up for the regret when she got married.
Normally, when a girl gets married, she is carried out of the house by her older or younger brother. But she did something different; she climbed over the wall and went out on her own.
Su Ruofeng put her on the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed without any politeness, and then shook out the quilt and covered Su Mowan with it.
The movement was incredibly smooth and natural.
This caused Murong Jing's face to darken again. Murong Jing had a slight case of mysophobia; apart from Su Mowan, no one else dared to touch his things!
The thing that Su Ruofeng has touched now is the bed.
Clearly, Murong Jing was unaware that the Seventh Princess had deliberately caused a ruckus by rolling around on the platform earlier.
Although Su Mowan couldn't see Murong Jing's expression, she could tell from the sound of the slowly approaching wheelchair that he was unhappy!
There are many reasons, but the most direct one should be that Su Ruofeng sat down on the edge of the bed. So Su Mowan looked up at Su Ruofeng and deliberately said, "Second brother, I'm fine now. You should hurry back to the hunting ground. It's still early. You can ride a horse and make it in time."
Su Ruofeng assumed that Su Mowan was genuinely concerned for him, so he said indifferently, "It's alright, don't worry about it. Your second brother is relieved to see that you're alright. It doesn't matter whether you go back or not."
Does this mean you want to stay here and chat with her?
Su Mowan blinked and said, "By the way, where is Fu Yingli now? If you're not going back to the hunting grounds, go find Fu Yingli."
Su Ruofeng's eyes flashed, and he said, "It's alright. She's still at the General's Mansion. However, once the autumn hunt is over, I will ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage."
At this moment, Murong Jing happened to arrive not far from the bed. Upon hearing this, he said coldly, "It's no use begging now. The Minister of Rites said at the palace banquet that his daughter is still young and he doesn't want her to get married yet."
Su Ruofeng's eyes flashed again, and he said, "Anyway, there will always be a way."
Although Su Ruofeng didn't attend that night's events, she had heard some of them from Su Yuandao. At this point, it would be better to obtain Emperor Moyao's blessing for marriage. If not, she would have to put pressure on the Minister of Rites.
Thinking of this, Su Ruofeng finally decided to get up. He looked at Murong Jing and said, "I hope Your Highness Prince Qin will take good care of Mo Wan in the future."
Murong Jing was a little annoyed by Su Ruofeng's tone. He was just a brother with no blood relation, yet he dared to speak to him like an elder brother. One Su Mobai was enough.
Murong Jing then glanced at them coldly and said, "Of course."
Seeing that Su Ruofeng finally seemed ready to leave, Su Mowan quickly said, "Alright, Second Brother, you should go now if you have something to do. I'm tired and need to rest."
Seeing that although she looked tired, her complexion was still quite good, Su Ruofeng felt a little relieved and finally stood up and said, "Take good care of yourself. When your second brother gets married, you must come to the wedding banquet."
Su Mowan nodded, "I will definitely go."
Su Ruofeng knew that it was inappropriate for him to enter Su Mowan and Murong Jing's bedroom, and he had seen Murong Jing's displeasure.
They didn't linger long, and seeing that Su Mowan was alright, they got up and left Fenghua Palace.
As they exited the Fenghua Palace, they ran into Prince Jin, who had just alighted from his carriage.
Prince Jin was a little surprised to see Su Ruofeng here, and immediately asked, "What are you doing here? When did you get back?"
Su Ruofeng and Prince Jin were fairly familiar with each other, the kind who could talk to each other. "Your Highness, why were you here when you learned that Mo Wan and Prince Qin had returned to the manor?"
His Highness Prince Jin couldn't very well say that he was planning to go to the military camp with the King of Qin, so he replied perfunctorily, "I thought the King of Qin might be too busy lately, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help."
This means that the King of Qin will be busy spending time with Su Mowan recently.
Su Ruofeng's expression softened slightly because of Prince Jin's words. "In that case, I'll be leaving now."
Although Su Ruofeng was usually carefree and irresponsible, he was relatively proper when speaking to Prince Jin.
After Su Ruofeng left the second courtyard, Prince Jin stroked his chin and muttered, "Could it be that Su Ruofeng carried him into the room? Tsk tsk, my third brother's two brothers-in-law are quite good at dividing tasks."
Earlier, Prince Jin had seen from afar that it was Su Mobai who carried Su Mowan onto the carriage. At this point, the only person who could carry Su Mowan into the bedroom was Su Ruofeng.
Prince Jin figured his third brother was probably in his bedroom with Su Mowan, so he didn't rush into the palace.
Just as he was about to find a place to sit for a while, another carriage arrived in front of Fenghua Palace. After the carriage stopped, his cousin stepped out of it.
Shen Muyue.
After watching Shen Muyue get out of the carriage and hurriedly head towards Fenghua Palace, Prince Jin simply leaned against a pillar in front of the palace and waited.
Feng Yue happened to come out of the palace at this moment. As soon as he came out, he saw Shen Muyue and a maid rushing towards the palace gate. He was already sweating bullets.
Prince Jin and Shen Muyue are cousins, so Feng Yue was thinking about how to tactfully stop them. After all, he couldn't say anything too harsh in front of Prince Jin.
To Feng Yue's surprise, this time he didn't even need to participate; His Highness Prince Jin actually helped stop the people.
As soon as Shen Muyue got off the carriage, she saw Prince Jin at the entrance of Fenghua Palace, which gave her a greater sense of security.
Therefore, even when she saw Feng Yue come out of the palace, she didn't frown. With a slight smile on her face, she arrived at the entrance of Fenghua Palace. She thought that with Prince Jin speaking up for her this time, she would be able to get in no matter what.
Unfortunately, before this thought could even dissipate, the Prince of Jin asked, "Why have you returned at this hour?"
Judging from that voice, I don't quite agree.
Shen Muyue immediately said, "Of course I know that His Highness Prince Qin brought Sister Su back to the manor, so I came back. Sister Su just had a miscarriage and is not in good health. I was afraid that His Highness would not know how to take care of her."
These words sounded so grand and righteous that even the Prince of Jin couldn't stand them.
"She's in a bad mood right now, so don't interfere. There are two maids in the manor, how could they not know how to take care of someone? It's not your place to worry about it."
Prince Jin knew of Granny Wei and Granny Zhao; he had seen them countless times when they were still in the palace.
These words were rather impolite, and Shen Muyue was immediately angered. However, although Prince Jin was her cousin, his status was ultimately much more noble, so she had no choice but to suppress her temper and say, "I heard that both of the nannies went to the palace to accompany Her Majesty the Empress, so there is really no one left in this mansion now."
No sooner had Shen Muyue finished speaking than Wei Mama's voice came from not far away.
"Oh, Your Highness Prince Jin, what brings you here today?"
The group turned their gazes and saw that Granny Wei was being followed by two maids, walking towards them.
It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
Shen Muyue felt a surge of resentment and gritted her teeth.
Clearly, Granny Wei had just returned from the palace and went straight to Fenghua Palace as soon as she entered the mansion.
Prince Jin readily agreed. Wei Mama was the Empress's most favored servant and held a high position in Prince Qin's residence, so he showed her a degree of respect.
Wei Mama received the news in the palace that Consort Su had miscarried, so she rushed back. Who knew that as soon as she returned, she saw Shen Muyue trying to run into Fenghua Palace again.
As she entered, Granny Wei politely asked, "Is Consort Shen here to visit Consort Su?"
Shen Muyue finally found someone who spoke politely to her, so she chimed in, "That's right, and it just so happens that Granny Wei has returned. I'll go in with you to see Sister Su."
Granny Wei still had a smile on her face and said, "In my opinion, there is no need to trouble Consort Shen. I guess Consort Su is in a bad mood right now and will not want to see anyone. Consort Shen should wait until Consort Su is feeling better in a couple of days before coming to visit."
The smile that Shen Muyue had just managed to force onto her face instantly froze. Why were these two always picking on her?
Prince Jin frowned, putting on his princely airs for the first time, "I also think it's inappropriate for you to come now. I heard that you and Consort Su have some disagreements. You've come to see her at this time of year. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're here to gloat."
That's too blunt.
Shen Muyue's face was extremely pale. Although Feng Yue and Granny Wei both knew that she and Su Mowan didn't get along, they hadn't said it out loud.
Now that her cousin had said these words outright, Shen Muyue felt as if she had been slapped across the face, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.
She gritted her teeth secretly, and seeing that the group was united as one, she forced a smile and said, "Then I'll go back first. Granny Wei, please take good care of her."
"Of course, Consort Shen, please take care."
Granny Wei smiled, her face showing no disrespect whatsoever, but Shen Muyue still felt that she was being secretly mocked.
But staying any longer would only bring shame upon herself, so she gritted her teeth, turned around, and angrily left with Caihong.
Prince Jin frowned as he watched Shen Muyue's retreating figure and asked, "Is she always like this in the manor?"
The question wasn't directed at anyone. Granny Wei and Feng Yue exchanged a glance, and finally Granny Wei smiled and said, "How can we servants comment on our masters' rights and wrongs? His Highness Prince Jin can see for himself."
Just as Prince Jin was about to say something more, Granny Wei slapped her thigh and rushed into the hall, saying, "Oh dear, I've been so busy talking, this old servant must go check on Consort Su. Oh, right, Feng Yue, Imperial Physician Gu is right behind us, bring him in when we arrive!"
When Feng Yue saw that Granny Wei was even more anxious than when her master was injured, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Consort Su is simply the one everyone wants.
