Chapter 648 Encounter with Yan Yao
The carriage drove on the road for half an hour and finally stopped in front of a grand restaurant.
Cui Mengsheng was the first to get off the carriage, and turned around to help Yan Shu, but Yan Shu jumped down right after him. His behavior seemed quite natural and free and easy, and he really looked like an elegant young man with a handsome face.
"Brother, let's go in."
Cui Mengsheng smiled and nodded: "Let's go."
The two of them, along with several guards, were preparing to enter Hongyue Tower when not far away a team of people escorting a carriage quickly drove in this direction.
"The Third Prince's wife has arrived. Passers-by, please get out of the way!"
A eunuch with a hoarse voice walking at the head of the team shouted loudly, and passers-by hurriedly hid on the side of the road to avoid him.
Some passers-by looked into the carriage curiously.
"Isn't the Third Prince still unmarried?"
"I heard that the Third Prince just took a concubine a while ago. It is said that she is the fourth daughter of Prime Minister Su. Although she is a concubine, she is deeply loved by Prime Minister Su."
"So it's the Fourth Miss Su. I've heard of her name a long time ago. It's said that she grew up on a farm and only returned to the Su Mansion two years ago. This Fourth Miss is a blessed person. Since she returned to the Su family, her father was directly promoted from the Prince's Junior Tutor to the Prime Minister. It's rare to jump two levels. I think Prime Minister Su will definitely become a famous official like his father in the future."
Some people praised her, "It is said that she has the ability to predict the future. She has helped the Ministry of Justice solve several major cases and has won the praise of the Minister of Justice. Although she is now married to the Third Prince as a concubine, I am afraid that she will have a bright future with this blessing."
Inside the carriage, Su Qingqing listened to the common people outside talking about her with a smug look on her face. After two years of hard work, her reputation as a lucky girl was now known to everyone in the capital. As long as she could help Ye Lanxuan ascend the throne, the position of queen would be hers sooner or later.
It was the first time that Yan Shu saw the royal family in action. He looked towards the road curiously and saw a royal carriage moving sideways in the middle of the road, with more than a dozen guards protecting it in front and behind. It was a truly grand appearance.
When the team passed by Hongyue Tower, the curtain of the carriage was blown up by a gust of wind. The woman in the carriage subconsciously glanced outside and happened to see Yan Shu, who was dressed in men's clothes, standing outside the door of Hongyue Tower.
Her expression suddenly shocked her, and she immediately reached out to lift the car window curtain and look at the other person.
"Is it really that bitch Yan Shu? Is she coming to the capital?"
Su Qingqing's eyes were filled with hatred. She was now the third prince's new concubine. Everyone in the capital knew that the third prince doted on her, and she had the entire Prime Minister's Mansion as her backer. Now Yan Shu had been completely trampled under her feet.
Very good, since she dared to come to the capital, the past grudges should be completely settled.
"parking!"
The convoy slowly stopped, and the leading eunuch immediately rushed to the front of the carriage and looked at Su Qingqing with a flattering face.
"What do you want, Concubine Su?"
"I'm suddenly a little hungry. I heard that the food in Hongyue Tower is delicious. Now that I'm here, let's go in and try it."
"promise."
The team stopped outside the gate of Hongyue Tower. Under the watch of the people, Su Qingqing got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of Hongyue Tower.
Seeing that the so-called Third Prince's Consort was Su Qingqing, Yan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
Yan Yao eventually married the third prince Ye Lanxuan.
Although this world is different from the original book, Yan Yao, the heroine of the original book, is like an indestructible cockroach. Wherever she is, it is as if you are in a huge magnetic field, and all kinds of unexpected encounters will always occur, just like at this moment.
Su Qingqing was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with red hairpins and golden hairpins on her head. When she walked, the maid beside her supported her carefully, and the golden hairpins on her head made noises with her steps.
When passing by Yan Shu, Su Qingqing suddenly stopped.
"Whose family are you from?"
Cui Mengsheng bowed to Su Qingqing and said, "My brother and I are from the Cui family of Qinghe."
Su Qingqing curled her lips and sneered: "Brother? Haha, are you sure she is a man?"
Cui Mengsheng looked up at Su Qingqing. Why was this concubine Su staring at Sister Shu'er? Could it be that they knew each other?
On second thought, no matter whether they knew her or not, the Su family would not take the concubine of the Third Prince seriously.
Cui Mengsheng said: "Concubine Su is joking. He is my brother. As his elder brother, how can I admit my mistake?"
Su Qingqing snorted coldly and stared at Yan Shu coldly: "Yan Shu, you hooked up with the young master of Qinghe Cui family after not seeing you for a while? You are really capable. What about Jiang Ci? Weren't you flirting with him all day long before?"
Yan Shu looked at Su Qingqing calmly.
"I don't know what Concubine Su means. I don't know the person you are talking about. Concubine Su may have recognized the wrong person."
Su Qingqing's eyes were filled with contempt: "You think I can't recognize you just because you're disguised as a man? Humph, I can still recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"
"I wonder who this Yan Shu that Concubine Su mentioned is? What is the feud between her and Concubine Su?"
Facing Yan Shu's provocative gaze, Su Qingqing opened her mouth and suddenly realized that she was now Su Qingqing, not Yan Yao, and was accompanied by a group of guards and servants from the Prince Rui's Mansion. She must not reveal her true identity.
Seeing Yan Yao remained silent, Yan Shu laughed and continued, "Although I don't know what hatred this person has with Concubine Su, I really don't know her. You really have the wrong person."
Su Qingqing took a deep breath. It seemed that this bitch just refused to admit that she was Yan Shu. Very good, no matter what her identity was now, she was like an ant in front of her. It would be easy to deal with her.
Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared between Su Qingqing's sharp eyebrows.
"Go and pour this concubine a cup of tea."
The maid standing beside Su Qingqing immediately took the order and soon handed a cup of tea to Su Qingqing with both hands.
"Concubine Su, your tea."
Su Qingqing reached out to take the tea and handed the cup to Yan Shu with a smile on her face.
"Since I have mistaken you for someone else, this cup of tea should be my apology to you."
Yan Shu glanced at the cup of tea. Yan Yao was definitely not so kind. She was probably trying to find fault with her for serving tea. If the tea was spilled deliberately by Yan Yao when she reached out to take it, she would be disrespectful to the Third Prince's concubine in public, and Yan Yao would have an excuse to punish her. So she couldn't take the tea.
Cui Mengsheng also saw Su Qingqing's intention. He stepped forward and stood in front of Yan Shu.
"My brother is timid and cowardly. He got nervous when he saw someone as distinguished as Concubine Su. Please forgive me if I said anything wrong just now. We two brothers cannot afford your apology tea. I believe Concubine Su has something important to do, so we will not disturb you."
After he finished speaking, Cui Mengsheng turned around and looked at Yan Shu. His cold eyes instantly became gentle.
"Nanfeng, let's go."
Yan Shu smiled gratefully at Cui Mengsheng. Although she did not have much contact with Cui Mengsheng when she lived in Cui's house, this elder brother really stood in front of her when she had something to do.
Cui Mengsheng was about to turn around and leave while protecting Yan Shu when Su Qingqing suddenly shouted at him angrily.
"Stop them!"
"Yes!"
