The two of them walked closer and then saluted Concubine Duan.

Concubine Duan smiled, put down the scripture, raised her hand, and said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, concubine."

Look at Su Yun, after she stood up, she put her hands on Xiao Lusheng's wheelchair. It's hard to tell whether she dislikes her son or not.

That pretty little face, maybe because of the strong wind and snow on the way here, had rosy cheeks, like a porcelain doll.

No wonder, my son is impressed by her.

Concubine Duan invited her to take a seat, and then asked Nanny Gui to bring some cakes made in the small kitchen.

"Two days ago, your father was still asking when you would bring your new bride to the palace, but I didn't expect her to come today." Concubine Duan said with a smile.

Su Yun stood up and bowed, "I'm sorry that my father and mother missed you."

Xiao Lusheng just said that it was delayed because of the heavy snow and wind in the past few days.

As for Su Yun's injury, it was not mentioned.

However, Xiao Lusheng knew that Concubine Duan was most likely aware of eight out of ten things going on in his mansion.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to the main house every day to sleep in the same bed with Su Yun.

God knows, he had been tempted several times these days and it was hard for him to control himself.

Nanny Gui brought in the palace servants to serve tea and snacks. After arranging them neatly, she asked people to wait in the Qinzheng Hall and report as soon as the emperor left the court.

They chatted about family matters, had some tea and snacks, and Concubine Duan was watching them intently.

Su Yun is good-looking and seems to have a good temper. The key is that she always pays attention to her son and seems to care about him very much?

This woman was childhood sweethearts with Prince Pingnan. How could she fall in love with someone else so quickly?

If her son was still as handsome as before, she would still believe him a little.

just now……

Her son's face is covered with scars and looks hideous. What is she thinking?

Such a beautiful woman, who is so good to her son, I'm afraid it won't take long to conquer her.

Thinking of the deceased Queen sister, who was once the most beautiful woman in the capital, how she deceived the emperor and she has never forgotten it until now...

An indescribable sense of grievance and resentment arose in Concubine Duan's heart.

"Are you feeling unwell, mother?" Xiao Lusheng was drinking tea when he noticed that Concubine Duan didn't look well.

"Ah?" Realizing that she had lost her composure, Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Nothing, come to my palace more often in the future." The emperor's only son is not the crown prince...

Thinking about it, Concubine Duan felt uncomfortable!

The emperor also issued an edict and invited countless doctors from the public, but no one could cure his son's legs and face.

Recently, those annoying ministers have been clamoring for the emperor to adopt a child from a side branch.

Or, he could appoint Pingxi King Xiao Zhennan as the crown prince!

The emperor is in his prime, even if she can't give birth, the emperor may be unable to give birth!

As long as she can find a belly and give birth to a prince, the King of Huainan will be able to live a safe life in the future.

Xiao Lusheng nodded, "Yes."

How proud and arrogant his mother is, doesn't he know?

Now, he has become a disabled person, and his mother must be worried about their future every day.

Look at the royal family.

Only the family of Pingxi King Xiao Zhennan, who is trusted by the emperor, will become the next heir to the throne.

However, he was betrayed by his close confidants. After so many years of investigation, Pingxi King Xiao Zhennan was the most suspicious. If it was really him, how could he accept it?

His face and legs are disfigured, but his brain is intact and his hands are still good, so why can't he sit in that position?

Outside, voices were heard announcing the emperor's arrival.

The people in the room stood up to greet them.

The emperor, dressed in bright yellow, came straight over without even changing out of his court robes.

When he saw Xiao Lusheng's face, his heart ached and he felt regretful.

When his eyes moved to Su Yun, he was shocked by the girl's extraordinary temperament and appearance.

Originally, he thought that the unpopular eldest daughter of General Zhenyuan's Mansion might be unpopular because of her poor appearance and temperament.

Unexpectedly, the opposite happened.

Looking at his son again, he has a calm look. Since he brought her into the palace, he must have liked her.

In this case, he would have to think about it.

"Everyone, get up. Today is a family dinner. No need to be polite."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Duan stood up first and winked at Nanny Gui. Nanny Gui bowed and left with the extra palace maids.

Su Yun kept her head down.

She still didn't dare to look the emperor in the eye.

After I stood up, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the emperor was tall and was just sitting there drinking a cup of tea. His every move seemed quite easy-going.

But, if you look at his expression, he really is intimidating without even getting angry.

Not long after, Nanny Gui and Yu Sheng, the chief eunuch of Qixiang Palace, came in with the palace servants and set up the food in an orderly manner in the restaurant nearby.

Su Yun took a glance, and in the blink of an eye, she saw a table full of delicious delicacies.

Thinking that she was being married off as a substitute, what would she do if the emperor knew about it?

She didn't want to think about it, but when she thought about it, cold sweat broke out on her nervous forehead.

Xiao Lusheng seemed to notice her nervousness and handed her an orange. "Would your princess like to have some pre-meal fruit?"

Su Yun raised her eyes and met the gaze of the person in the wheelchair, then took the orange in her hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He took the opportunity to hold the woman's hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid...

He told her not to be afraid.

Only she could see how sincere Xiao Lusheng's eyes were at this moment.

She pursed her lips and nodded.

Sure enough, during the meal, Xiao Lusheng ordered the palace maids to serve her this dish and that dish. She was not afraid of it, but she became more and more embarrassed as the emperor and Concubine Duan looked at each other several times.

She finally managed to get through it and said goodbye to the Emperor and Concubine Duan, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

In Qixiang Palace.

The emperor rinsed his mouth, washed his hands, threw the handkerchief into the basin, and said to Concubine Duan: "The fourth brother seems to be very satisfied with this princess."

Xiao Lusheng had several princes before him, but unfortunately they died young.

There are also several imperial sisters, not counting those who are married, and two princesses still in the boudoir.

Concubine Duan said, "I just don't know if she is willing or not."

"Are you willing or not?" The emperor snorted coldly and left the restaurant, "How dare she be unwilling about her son?" Su Hongpeng was extremely bold!

Concubine Duan smiled, sat on the left and right of the emperor, and said, "A few days ago, I heard that Prince Pingyao had caused trouble again."

The emperor was puzzled as to why she suddenly mentioned this royal collateral descendant who indulged in drinking, gambling, whoring and doing nothing.

Concubine Duan explained: "The royal family has few descendants. If he is allowed to do whatever he wants, it would be better to find a woman to take care of him. This would not lead to such a situation and would also insult the reputation of the royal family.

Her mother and I were acquainted in the boudoir, and she asked me to ask the emperor for a marriage."

"In that case, then grant it."

Concubine Duan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "She is still looking for a girl she likes. If she finds one, please ask the emperor to grant her marriage."

The emperor snorted, "It's just a marriage arrangement. It all depends on whose family the girl is from. Even though Prince Pingyao is not very capable, we can't be careless." However, it was unknown what his beloved concubine was planning to do when she suddenly became a matchmaker.
