Chapter 176 The Princess
Sima Luo pursed her lips and smiled, she whispered, "Brother Ayu!"
Gu Yu's face turned redder. He nodded seriously and looked into the distance.
Sima Luo laughed and continued to eat barbecue.
This barbecue is so delicious! It's better than the dishes made in the palace's imperial kitchen!
They sat outside for a while, and Sima Luo suggested, "Brother Ayu, shall we go in?"
They couldn't just leave Su Yuan alone and enjoy the scenery here alone.
Gu Yu glanced at Su Yuan and Cheng Lang, smiled, and went in with the plate.
"Have you finished eating?" Su Yuan asked when she saw them come in.
Gu Yu shook his head. "Not yet. It's windy outside, and it's not good for Your Highness to be out in the wind all the time."
Su Yuan pulled a soft stool and asked the two of them to sit down and eat together.
"Luo'er! Do you like it?" Su Yuan smiled and handed Sima Luo a chicken wing.
Sima Luo took it and nodded, "I like it! Aunt Su, thank you very much!"
Su Yuan made her experience a different life, and she liked the freedom outside the palace.
It’s a pity that she still has to go back to the palace.
I don’t know when it will come out next time.
"Eat more if you like it." Su Yuan continued with a gentle smile.
Cheng Lang, who was standing by, saw this and started to feel upset again.
Su Yuan was gentler to Sima Luo than to him.
He is not willing!
Gu Yu is Su Yuan’s biological son, so it’s okay that he can’t compare to Gu Yu.
Now he can't even beat Sima Luo, how can he be willing to accept this?
"Su Yan, you eat too." Su Yuan handed the other chicken wing in her hand to Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
Sima Luo looked up at Cheng Lang, then lowered her head and continued eating chicken wings.
The chicken wings were much more tender and delicious than those usually fried in the imperial kitchen. She ate three or four without feeling sick of them.
She wanted to learn from Su Yuan and make it for her mother after returning to the palace.
But she changed her mind and gave up.
Her mother didn't like this kind of novelty. If she learned it, she would inevitably be taught a lesson by her mother, so she gave up.
She'd better not make herself miserable.
Rather than doing these things and making her mother worry, she would rather do nothing.
While she was eating peacefully, she occasionally looked up at Su Yuan and the other two.
She was a little curious about who the masked guard was.
The other two guards were waiting outside, so he was the only one who could stay with Su Yuan.
Su Yuan roasted another handful and asked Gu Yu to send it to the nanny and two guards.
"Aunt Su, it's great to be a guard in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion! I can taste the meat you roasted yourself." Sima Luo said with a smile.
She was even a little envious of the servants in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
With a master as approachable as Su Yuan, they will definitely be able to enjoy a good life.
She actually felt that being a maid beside Su Yuan was more comfortable than being a princess like her.
"If you like it, you can come to my house often in the future. I will cook for you myself." Su Yuan raised her eyebrows.
The next time Sima Luo goes to the Marquis of Zhennan's Mansion, she will make a cake for him.
Sima Luo nodded and agreed.
Su Yuan thought for a moment, then asked, "Wu'er, do you want to go to the academy to study? Do you want to be raised by the Empress? Do you want to be the legitimate princess of Dongyu?"
Upon hearing this, Sima Luo's smile froze on her face, and she looked up at Su Yuan in disbelief.
Su Yuan meant to let her be fostered by the Queen and go to school in the academy?
This……
How is this possible?
Does Su Yuan have this ability?
"Aunt Su, you...what do you mean?" Sima Luo couldn't believe what he heard.
Su Yuan handed the skewers in her hand to Cheng Lang and said seriously, "I say, do you want to go to the academy like His Highness Yue? Aunt Su still has a way to make you a legitimate princess under the Queen's knees.
Of course, Luo Cairen is still your mother, and you can still be close to Luo Cairen. Now that you have grown up, living in the Empress's care is just to remind you of your status, and it will not change anything.
But... in this way, you will go from being an unknown little transparent person to being a princess that everyone pays attention to. I wonder if you are afraid, Luo'er?
If you are afraid, forget it. Everything depends on your wishes."
Su Yuan will not force Sima Luo, everything is up to Sima Luo to choose.
"Auntie, if you don't take the initiative to fight for something, if you don't take that step, you will always be stuck in a corner, watching others shine.
Of course, remaining unknown can save you a lot of trouble. At least you won't be targeted, which saves you a lot of danger. Whatever choice you make, Aunt Su will support you. "Su Yuan touched Sima Luo's head and let Sima Luo make his own choice.
Sima Luo's heart beat faster. This was the first time someone had said these words to her in her life.
Her mother taught her not to fight or compete since she was young, and to try to disappear from everyone's sight. Only in this way could she avoid being harmed by others.
Can……
Over the years, she has suffered a lot of cold stares, and even the palace maids and eunuchs in their palace would be perfunctory towards them.
Although they were not hungry or cold, the food and supplies they had were far inferior to those of other concubines in the palace.
Although she was not envious, she did want to change.
She wanted to go to academy like Sima Yue and become a real princess instead of a silly girl who knew nothing.
"Aunt Su, you...how can you let me be raised by the Queen? I don't want you to take risks for me."
After careful consideration, Sima Luo spoke.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry! There won't be any danger, and I don't need to show up in person. Someone will ask the Queen to take the initiative to raise Luo'er by her side."
Sima Luo became even more curious.
Without Su Yuan's intervention, the Queen Mother could take the initiative to raise her?
Why did she find all this so incredible?
"What does Aunt Su plan to do? Can you tell me first?" Sima Luo wanted to know Su Yuan's plan. If it was too difficult, she didn't want to see Su Yuan take risks for her.
She and Su Yuan met by chance. Su Yuan was not worth taking risks for her, nor was he worth being so nice to her.
Seeing Sima Luo worried about her, Su Yuan felt very relieved.
She was right about Sima Luo.
The heroine Sima Luo is excellent in all aspects!
"Have you heard of the Imperial Master, Lao Er? The Imperial Master owes me a favor, so I can ask the Imperial Master to come forward.
"The Imperial Preceptor is deeply trusted by His Majesty and the Empress, and his words are the most effective. For Luo'er to become a legitimate princess, all he needs is a word from the Imperial Preceptor, so there won't be any risks, Luo'er can rest assured." Su Yuan explained.
Her decision to push Gao Xuan to the position of national teacher was the best decision she made.
It’s much easier to get things done nowadays.
Your Majesty and Empress Lu both trust Gao Xuan, the imperial preceptor. With just one word from him, Empress Lu will sign Sima Luo under her name without hesitation.
