However, she immediately changed the topic and bowed slightly. With an apologetic expression, she said, “It’s my thoughtlessness. If it weren’t for Seventh Prince only sending a set of riding attire to me, I would have certainly given one to Sister! Speaking of this golden silk riding outfit, it’s surprisingly lightweight and comfortable to wear!”
Su Yingxue glanced at her riding attire. The material was indeed the palace’s specially provided golden silk.
“Marquis, the Seventh Prince has sent someone to deliver the riding attire to Miss!”
A servant reported, interrupting Su Yurou’s words.
A palace guard from the prince’s residence arrived, holding a set of red riding attire. The material appeared to be the same as what Su Yurou was wearing.
Su Yurou looked pleasantly surprised.
Beside her, Yuan Ruo deliberately exclaimed, “Oh my, Miss! Your Highness not only sent you one set but now he’s sent another just before departure. He’s attentive to you!”
She deliberately used these words to taunt Su Yingxue and her maid.
Unexpectedly, Zhilan snorted. “Our Miss doesn’t care about this material!”
When Su Dingheng heard this, he scolded angrily, “You fool! This golden silk garment can only be obtained through the emperor’s reward. Who do you think you are to look down on it?”
Zhilan puffed up her face and whispered, “Ninth Prince sent many sets to Miss before. They’ve all been gathering dust in the storeroom. Why suddenly take an interest in this dress?”
“Marquis, Your Highness specifically stated that this garment is intended for Eldest Young Miss!”
After the palace guard finished speaking, he handed the clothing to Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue waved her hand and had Zhilan accept it.
As Zhilan accepted it, Su Yurou was dumbfounded.
Su Dingheng, like a statue in the wind, only his mustache moved as the wind blew.
The situation became exceedingly awkward. Su Yingxue didn’t want to engage with them any longer, so she took the clothing and left.
Su Dingheng looked at Su Yurou, who was crestfallen and patted her back. “Rou’er, it’s just a piece of clothing. Seventh Prince did it for the sake of balance between you and your sister.”
“Yes, Father, Rou’er understands,” Su Yurou pretended to be obedient on the surface, while her heart was already roiling.
Why did Su Yingxue have what she had?!
Why did Seventh Prince give something to her and Su Yingxue?!
In the carriage, Su Yurou was so angry that she began to cry.
At the entrance of Upper Forest Court, Chu Chengye stood tall and elegant. He typically dressed casually, but today, he was dressed splendidly. Wearing a white riding attire adorned with a dragon embroidery pattern, a silver crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist, he exuded elegance and grace, epitomizing his appearance.
His older brother, Third Prince Chu Xiuwen, jestingly remarked, “Seventh Brother, when did you become so concerned about your appearance? Could it be that you’re waiting for the delicate daughter of Marquis Su? You’re taking it too seriously!”
“Third brother, you’re jesting. As a prince, I can’t afford to disgrace the royal family’s reputation.” Chu Chengye bantered back, though his gaze was involuntarily directed toward the entrance of Upper Forest Court. He was searching for a particular figure among the arriving carriages.
Chu Xiuwen was well aware of his younger brother’s infatuation. Even if they didn’t mingle with others today, Chu Chengye would remain by his side for amusement.
The two waited for a while, but the Marquis’s Manor carriage had yet to arrive.
Chu Xiuwen, who was used to seeing beautiful women, suddenly exclaimed, “Oh? That young woman in green exudes a valiant aura, but she looks unfamiliar. I can’t recall which noble family she’s from. Seventh brother, help me identify her.”
Chu Chengye wasn’t paying much attention, but after a moment, he heard Chu Xiuwen exclaim, “What? It’s Lin Sisi, that ugly girl? Where are the repulsive pimples on her face? Her complexion has improved, and she looks this good now?”
