Chapter 24 The Empress Puts on a Big Hat
In Luoxue Pavilion.

Su Youning just passed the gate of returning to the door, and she had a good dinner, and she was in a good mood.

At this moment, he changed into normal clothes, and was sitting cross-legged on the limp bed, thinking about Miscellaneous Records carefully.

Excited that she discovered the record about Ban Yue San, she was going to order Ji Xiang to record it with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone before studying it carefully.

Mother Lin took Steward Liu to ask for instructions.

"Princess, Butler Liu said something important."

Su Youning hurriedly got down from the soft couch, Jixiang opened the bead curtain, Su Youning walked out, and slightly nodded at Steward Liu.

Steward Liu blessed himself, stepped forward respectfully and said.

"Princess, Mother Su, who is beside the Empress, sent someone to the mansion to deliver an order. Tomorrow, I invite you to enter the palace and go to Kunning Palace to pay my respects."

As soon as the words fell, Jixiang Ruyi looked terrified.

Su Youning nodded after being slightly taken aback.

"Okay, thank you, Butler Liu."

After Steward Liu left, Ji Xiang couldn't help but speak first.

"Princess, how can this be good?"

Ruyi pulled Jixiang softly, and shook her head slightly, signaling her to be quiet.

Su Youning frowned slightly. Originally, on the second day of her wedding, she was supposed to enter the palace to pay her respects to the empress. She also asked Butler Liu, but Butler Liu only said that the prince did not arrange to enter the palace and did not respond too much. She just thought that Chu Yu would push this matter away, but he really didn't expect that the queen would suddenly pass the decree today.

If there were no incidents in the downtown area today, she would not be so nervous if the queen ordered her to enter the palace.

But today in the busy city, Chu Yu beat Chu Lian.

Su Youning knew that Chu Lian was the son of the noble concubine Ling, and was even a descendant of the prince. The coincidence of the time when the queen delivered the decree must be because he complained in front of the queen, so the queen ordered her to enter the palace overnight.

Since Steward Liu came to deliver a message, Chu Yu must have known the palace's intentions, so he made up his mind to let her face the queen by herself.

Su Youning sorted out the matter, her eyebrows relaxed.

"Mother Lin, when You Ning enters the palace tomorrow, I don't know many etiquettes. I wonder if Mother Lin can give some pointers."

Mother Lin quickly bowed and replied respectfully.

"Don't dare to give advice, the princess is very polite, and there will be a nanny in the palace to guide her along the way, so the princess doesn't need to worry too much."

Having said this, Su Youning also understood, and nodded with a smile.

"Since that's the case, Jixiang Ruyi will take care of me, and I will have to get up early to enter the palace tomorrow."

Jixiang wanted to say something, but Ruyi grabbed her and whispered something in her ear.

"The princess makes her own decisions, we just need to follow orders."

The next day, Su Youning woke up early.

Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help being nervous when she was meeting the queen.

Jixiang Ruyi hurriedly changed Su Youning into a palace dress, while Lin's mother combed Su Youning's hair bun for meeting the queen when she entered the palace.

After combing her bun, she looked at Linlang's hairpin and pearl hairpin.

Su Youning ordered lightly.

"Pick some plain ones and bring them with you. Don't be ostentatious today."

Dressed neatly, Su Youning was ready to enter the palace.

By the lake in the Garden of Prince Yu's Mansion, Chu Yu had been playing with the birds early in the morning. The chirping of the birds made people irritated, but he looked very happy.

Zelan behind him reported back.

"Master, the one from Luoxue Pavilion has already left."

Chu Yu didn't speak, but a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face as he looked at the bird in the cage.

After a while, Chu Yu opened his lips lightly, as if talking to himself again.

"Su Youning and Empress Lu"

"I really want to see it!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Zelan's eyes behind him.

Then quietly retreated, calling out the shadow guard in the dark to give an order, and the shadow guard immediately disappeared in the direction of the palace.

Outside the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Butler Liu arranged a carriage to take Su Youning to the gate of the palace.

In the carriage, Su Youning sat upright, holding the handkerchief with both hands, she wanted to clear her mind again in order to deal with the next situation.

The cause of this incident was Chu Lian, but it was Chu Yu who did it. He had the attitude of saying that the public is right and the woman is right. If the queen wanted to question her, she might not escape punishment.

From this point of view, Empress Lu might not be able to take action against Chu Yu, so she transferred her anger to her.

Thinking of this, Su Youning showed a trace of unyielding in his brows and eyes.

Biting her lower lip, she thought to herself, she, Su Youning, is not a persimmon, anyone can handle it as she pleases.

With such thoughts in mind, the carriage has already arrived at the gate of the palace.

Jixiang Ruyi lifted the curtain, and Su Youning got out of the carriage.

Unable to bring the maidservants into the palace, Su Youning placed Jixiang Ruyi on the carriage.

"You wait in the carriage for my return, don't worry."

As soon as Su Youning followed the guards at the gate into the palace gate, Ning Xiang, the first-class maidservant in Kunning Palace, was already waiting.

"Prince Yu Ann, my servant Ningxiang, I am waiting here to take you to Kunning Palace."

Su Youning bowed slightly to salute.

"Then please trouble Aunt Ningxiang."

Ning Xiang nodded slightly, and led Su Youning inside.

Looking at the palace with red walls and green tiles, Su Youning remembered that this was not her first time entering the palace.

When the first emperor ascended the throne, she was still young. The first emperor once hosted a banquet for all the officials in the palace, and the quasi-all officials brought their relatives and family members into the palace to participate in the grand event. Therefore, when Su Youning was young, she was lucky enough to come here once. That time she was naughty, It disturbed the little highnesses in the imperial garden, and was almost caught by the palace maid.

After Su Zhixing learned about it, he was very scared, and he would not dare to bring Su Youning into the palace when there was another banquet in the palace.

Su Youning just thought it was funny, and looked back at the resplendent palace of his childhood, which is still beautiful today, and the corridors and palaces made by skilled craftsmen are dizzying.

Ning Xiang led Su Youning through the red-walled corridor, turned a corner and passed through the long corridor, and finally came to the luxurious Kunning Palace.

Su Youning lowered her eyes slightly, followed Ning Xiang into the inner hall, knelt on the ground and bowed down.

"Congratulations to the empress and empress, happiness and prosperity."

Empress Lu sat on the upper seat, looked at Su Youning calmly, and only smiled lightly after a long time.

"Raise your head and let me take a look."

Su Youning first replied respectfully.

"Yes."

Then Su Youning slowly raised her eyes, she looked extraordinarily delicate after dressing up today, and the palace outfit made her even more slender and small.

Empress Lu smiled, stroked the white cat in her arms, and hummed softly.

"Sure enough, she is a lovely person."

Su Youning lowered her eyes again, respectful and courteous.

"Thank you, Empress, for your compliment."

The smile on Empress Lu's face gradually subsided, revealing a regretful expression, holding the cat's hair delicately with ten fingers.

"I know that Yu'er has a bad temper. How are you doing well in the mansion these few days?"

The queen didn't ask for courtesy, and Su Youning didn't dare to get up, so she could only kneel there respectfully and reply.

"Thank you, Empress Empress, for your concern. Thanks to Empress Empress, His Royal Highness King Yu is very kind to You Ning, and you are all well in Prince Yu's Mansion."

Empress Lu laughed again.

"This little mouth can really talk."

"I haven't seen you before, so why have you entrusted me with my blessing?"

Su Youning said.

"The empress is the mother of the country, and her blessings are equal to the heavens. The whole world is the people of you and the emperor. With your protection, they will naturally be contaminated with your blessings."

Empress Lu seemed to be enjoying it very much, and her laughter became louder and gentler, but suddenly her face darkened when she smiled, and she spoke quietly.

"I heard that the two princes you provoked made a move in the busy market yesterday. It is my blessing that you are not here to provoke discord between brothers."
