Chapter 91: Prince Duan has an affair, and everyone catches him

Wen Yan and Su Ci also had a little conflict. She looked at Su Ci who was surrounded by many female relatives and felt that Su Ci was enjoying such a great time. It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous.

Who in the entire Liangzhou doesn't know that Su Ci has been neglected by Zhao Shizhu since she married into the palace?

I heard that at the beginning Zhao Shizhu would go back to the palace to hang out, and even if he disliked Su Ci, he would still meet Su Ci.

In recent months, Zhao Shizhu rarely even returned to the palace. Even when he returned, he did not stay overnight in Jingyuanzhai. Princess Su Ci was just a decoration.

Not only the people of Liangzhou knew that Su Ci, the Princess of Duan, was neglected by Zhao Shizhu, but this matter had also been spread vividly in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In other words, Su Ci was shameless enough to become the laughing stock of the whole city. He even dared to appear in public on such a big day as Mid-Autumn Festival and be criticized by others.

I heard that Su Ci wanted to add something new to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet this time. The festival will last from day to night, and there will be a fireworks show in the evening.

Wen Yan looked down on Su Ci, a woman who resented herself in the boudoir, from the bottom of her heart and thought she was very shameless, but she had to admit that the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet hosted by Su Ci was quite decent.

Not to mention that the chrysanthemums this time are all very precious and of complete varieties, and there are even some categories that have never appeared before.

They are also very particular about food, most of which are related to chrysanthemums, and even moon cakes have chrysanthemum elements added.

Hearing that the lady had been a hands-off manager at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, she wanted to make things difficult for Su Ci, but Su Ci actually managed to organize the banquet very decently.

Even the worldly-wise ladies of high rank had a greatly changed impression of Su's poems after attending the chrysanthemum-viewing banquet.

Everyone is an experienced person, unlike those unmarried ladies who know how trivial it is to manage the inner house. Those women who are also not favored by their husbands in the back house are more sympathetic, thinking that Su Ci can do things so well in such a bad environment, and will become a great figure in the future.

Furthermore, Su Ci had good conversation, knew when to act and when to retreat, and his treatment of people made people feel comfortable, which was completely different from the legendary arrogant and willful person.

By the evening, Su Ci had already had a very pleasant chat with many of the elders.

Zhao Shizhu had specially rushed back from outside the city that day. Before he reached Prince Duan's Mansion, he saw the dazzling fireworks above the palace.

Qi Xi also saw it clearly and said excitedly, "It must be the princess setting off the fireworks. I heard that the princess is hosting the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet today and many guests have come. I wonder how it goes?"

Zhao Shizhu was rushing home, but he suddenly lost interest after hearing this.

When he was not in the palace, Su Ci was obviously more comfortable. If he went back, she would be afraid that she would have to avoid him again.

But somehow, I still wanted to take a look at her, at least to know if she was okay.

Su Ci was chatting and laughing with the guests, and was very satisfied that everything went well at her banquet today. She was planning to leave the palace, but before that, she had to let everyone know that the daughter raised by Xuanping Hou was not a coward, and even without the love of a man, she could still live well in the harem.

When Su Ci "died", people no longer remembered Su Ci as a resentful woman in the boudoir, but also that she had the ability to run a household and could manage a huge palace in perfect order.

At this moment, there were suddenly scattered comments:
【Zhao Shizhu came back specially during the Mid-Autumn Festival, just to accompany Su Ci during the reunion day, right?】

[Wake up upstairs, the palace is Zhao Shizhu's home, you can't not go home even for the Mid-Autumn Festival. ]

[But Zhao Shizhu asked about Su Ci's whereabouts as soon as he entered the palace. Didn't he want to see Su Ci?] [Here he comes, Zhao Shizhu is coming to the bell tower...]

When Su Ci heard that Zhao Shizhu was coming to the bell tower, he immediately wanted to avoid meeting Zhao Shizhu.

She stood up and politely told the guest that she was going to change her clothes and would be back soon.

Everyone watched Su Ci leave the bell tower, and soon a lady praised Su Ci highly: "The princess is dignified and elegant, and behaves appropriately. She is not shy at all in such a big occasion, and the banquet is very creative. The princess is not as spoiled and willful as the rumors say, so we know that rumors cannot be trusted. Such a princess is someone we should all learn from."

The other lady followed suit.

Some of the young ladies in the boudoir who were seated below did not agree with what they heard. They all felt that these elders were only saying polite words because of Su Ci's status as Princess Duan.

Su Ci is obviously a resentful woman in the boudoir, not favored by His Royal Highness Prince Duan. What is there to learn from such a Princess Duan?
Do I have to follow Su Ci's example and not consummate the marriage after nearly half a year, and become a hen that can't lay eggs?
Just as these girls were whispering about the merits and demerits of Su Ci, His Royal Highness Prince Duan, who was always elusive, appeared.

Zhao Shizhu looked for Su Ci as soon as he arrived, but he couldn't find Su Ci even after searching the entire bell tower.

Wen Yan took the opportunity to clear up Zhao Shizhu's confusion: "Your Highness, are you looking for the princess? The princess just left and said she was going to change clothes."

Zhao Shizhu nodded and gestured to everyone: "I still have things to deal with, please enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Zhao Shizhu's sudden coming and going made the scene quiet for a moment.

Soon everyone was talking and laughing again, pretending that Zhao Shizhu had never been there. However, they still had doubts in their minds. Prince Duan came down to the bell tower to look for Su Ci. Did this mean that the relationship between the couple was not as cold as the rumors said?
About a quarter of an hour later, a young lady named Zhang suddenly ran up to Wen Yan and said, "Ayan, just now on my way to change clothes, I saw His Royal Highness Prince Duan and a woman whose face I couldn't see, and their behavior was very intimate..."

Wen Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Wen Yan immediately became interested and planned to see with her own eyes what kind of woman could hook up with Zhao Shizhu. Moreover, they were having an affair on such a big day as today. If this got out of hand, wouldn't Su Ci become the laughing stock of Liangzhou again?

Little did they know that their conversation was heard by other people, who secretly followed them, intending to catch them in the act.

Of course, they either wanted to laugh at His Royal Highness Prince Duan or were curious about which girl could make His Royal Highness Prince Duan touch her regardless of the occasion.

In addition, Su Ci was in the spotlight today, and everyone wanted to see Su Ci make fun of him.

The group went to the place pointed out by the daughter surnamed Zhang. It was the back garden of the palace. It was located in a remote area and was indeed the best place for a secret affair.

The closer everyone got, the more they could hear strange noises coming from inside, which seemed to be mixed with women's cursing and crying...

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Duan forced himself on some beauty and that beauty refused, which is why she was crying so pitifully while being raped?
After all, the one who used force was His Royal Highness Prince Duan. Although everyone was curious, they did not dare to disturb His Royal Highness Prince Duan's good deeds...
