Hearing from Fang Xi that Sister Su of the Su family had entered the palace, Su Wan'er immediately summoned Si Junlin. They clasped hands and exchanged souls.
When Sister Su of the Su family entered the imperial study, what she saw was her elder sister holding hands with the emperor.
Sister Su didn't know what to say.
It was obvious that the relationship between her elder sister and the emperor hadn't been that good before. However, she had to admit that seeing the harmonious relationship between her elder sister and her brother - in - law, she was quite happy in her heart.
"I, a humble subject's daughter, pay my respects to Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty live long and reign forever. May Her Majesty the Empress enjoy a long life," Sister Su said. It had to be said that the children personally taught by Old Madam Su were more well - mannered than any other young ladies from noble families.
Si Junlin glanced at Su Wan'er and then at Sister Su. A meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
Su Wan'er ignored Si Junlin's look. If it weren't the only way to exchange souls, she wouldn't let Si Junlin take advantage of her like this.
Yes, in Su Wan'er's opinion, Si Junlin's current actions were taking advantage of her.
Although they were holding hands, Si Junlin didn't need to hold both of her hands like this. Moreover, he was now holding her hands up and looking at them carefully, as if he were looking at some rare treasure.
When she looked at him, she always had the feeling that he was like a crazy serial killer sizing up his own work.
"Ahem," Su Wan'er pulled herself out of this strange mood and then turned to look at her younger sister.
"Sister, do you know why I've called you here?" Su Wan'er asked Sister Su.
Sister Su shook her head. "If I could guess what's on your mind, Sister, I wouldn't have to stay in the boudoir."
Hearing Sister Su's words, Si Junlin asked her with a smile, "If you don't stay in the boudoir, do you have some other place to go?"
"Of course I do," Sister Su decided to tell Si Junlin what was on her mind since he and her elder sister seemed to be on good terms. "If I had the ability to read people's minds, I would surely travel around the world and uphold justice with this ability."
Su Wan'er rolled her eyes at Si Junlin helplessly and then said to her younger sister, "Sister, don't mind your brother - in - law. I've called you here mainly because I have something to talk to you about."
"Okay, Sister. If there's anything you need me or the Su family to do, just say it. My sister and the Su family will surely give you full support," Sister Su said.
Su Wan'er nodded and then said to her, "I've called you here mainly because I heard that you like the young master of the prime minister's family?"
Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Sister Su's face turned completely red.
"N, no..."
"If you really don't like him, then I'll ask your brother - in - law to bestow a marriage on the eldest young master of the prime minister's family," Su Wan'er said.
"No!" As soon as Su Wan'er's voice fell, Sister Su shouted out excitedly.
A teasing look flashed in Su Wan'er's eyes. "Why not? Don't you like the eldest young master of the prime minister's family?"
"N, I, I, I, I like him. But he hasn't been paying much attention to me recently," Sister Su said, with her head almost buried in her chest by the end.
Su Wan'er smiled and then glanced at Si Junlin.
Si Junlin understood. "How about this? I'll have someone summon the eldest young master of the prime minister's family into the palace. Then, you two can talk face - to - face and see if you have feelings for each other. If you do, I'll bestow a marriage on you."
Sister Su could only nod in agreement.
Si Junlin then asked Fang Xi to summon the eldest young master of the prime minister's family into the palace. He didn't need to come to the imperial study. Fang Xi was to take him directly to the corridor to have a good talk with Sister Su.
Sister Su waited in the corridor for a while. Finally, from afar, she saw the person she had been longing for walking towards her.
Her face became redder and redder.
When he got closer, her face turned completely red like a big red apple.
"Sir, please come in," Fang Xi made a gesture of invitation and then, according to Su Wan'er's instructions, left the two of them an independent space to have a good talk.
"Ye'er..." The eldest young master of the prime minister's family couldn't believe that Sister Su would be here. He quickly took a few steps forward, walked up to Sister Su, and put his hands on her shoulders. "Why are you here?"
Sister Su coughed lightly. "Of course it's for you, Young Master Zhang."
She made a gesture of invitation, indicating that the eldest young master of the prime minister's family should sit down first.
After the eldest young master of the prime minister's family sat down, Sister Su hesitated for a long time and then said shyly to him, "Um, I want to ask, do you still like me, Young Master?"
Sister Su's words made the eldest young master of the prime minister's family also stunned for a moment. Finally, he nodded. "Y, yes... I like you."
"Then why haven't you come to see me for so long?" Sister Su became very excited as soon as she mentioned this matter.
The eldest young master of the prime minister's family was slightly stunned and then coughed lightly. "It's just that my father has some other arrangements..."
"So you've chosen to listen to your father?" Sister Su asked disappointedly.
The eldest young master of the prime minister's family quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no. How could I do such a thing... The reason I haven't paid attention to you for so many days is that I've been under house arrest."
It turned out that the eldest young master of the prime minister's family had fought with the prime minister many times because he wanted to marry Sister Su. Finally, the prime minister, unable to hold out against his son, had no choice but to put him under house arrest.
If it weren't for the emperor's summons today, the eldest young master of the prime minister's family might not have been able to get out.
It was time for Su Wan'er to step in.
"If Young Master Zhang really wants to marry my younger sister, there is a way," Su Wan'er said as she pulled Si Junlin out from the bushes.
If someone had paid attention to Si Junlin's ears, they would have noticed that the tips of his ears had a suspicious blush.
Just now in the bushes, Su Wan'er had been too focused on her younger sister's matter and had forgotten her own situation. Her chest had gotten too close to Si Junlin's, so that as long as Si Junlin lowered his head, he could see her chest.
Although he had seen it many times, they were now in their original bodies, and the feeling was different...
The two people in the pavilion showed surprised looks when they saw Su Wan'er.
Then, they reacted. "I, a humble subject's daughter (a commoner), pay my respects to Your Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty live long and reign forever. May Her Majesty the Empress enjoy a long life."
Su Wan'er waved her hand. "No need for such formalities. Let's talk about your matter."
