Previously at the mansion, Master Su had been talking to her, saying that he didn’t know how King Rui treated Su Yi and whether he would be another Second Master Shen.
Mrs. Liu had been a little worried at first, but it was not until she saw with her own eyes how much she ate, dressed, and used, and saw the lazy and leisurely aura around her that she was sure that she had not encountered any unpleasant things in the palace.
“How is the mansion recently? Is my brother okay?”
“What can be wrong with him?”
Mrs. Liu complained half-truthfully, “He still plays with his birds and insects all day long, looking so leisurely.”
Having said that, she was not very angry.
Although she had complained about Master Su’s lack of ambition in the past, after learning the real reason why the two children were sent away, Mrs. Liu broke out in a cold sweat and began to be grateful that Master Su never got involved in these things.
Moreover, ever since Su Yi married King Rui, even though the Su Mansion had no intention of taking advantage of her, others could not help but see that Duke An Mansion had a princess, so they wanted to curry favor with her.
So, now the situation in the mansion is much better than before.
Now when she goes to socialize elsewhere, those people, who used to hold their chins high when they saw her, now take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.
Mrs. Liu is very satisfied with this.
“Isn’t the King in the palace?” Mrs. Liu asked.
Su Yi said, “He has official business. He will probably come back after dark.”
Mrs. Liu nodded.
She had just been led all the way here. The palace was big and majestic enough, but there were too few people. If King Rui was not here normally, wouldn’t Su Yi be very bored?
Just as she was thinking, there was a sound of footsteps on the snow outside the warm pavilion.
Qing Lian reminded her, “The King is back.”
Mrs. Liu had never taken a close look at King Rui, but now that she heard that he was back, she couldn’t help but turn around to take a look.
She saw a man walking in the corridor beside the garden. He had a tall and heroic figure, with a majestic and imposing manner. There was no expression on his cold face. His dark and heavy eyes made people dare not look directly at him.
Mrs. Liu only took a glance, then quickly lowered her head, stood up, and saluted.
Before King Rui could speak, Su Yi said, “Sister-in-law, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down.”
Mrs. Liu subconsciously looked at King Rui, and only sat down with peace of mind when she saw him nod slightly at her.
Only then did she realize that Su Yi was still leaning on the couch. Even in an ordinary family, when the husband comes home, the wife has to welcome him, let alone in a royal palace.
She couldn’t help but worry about Su Yi. After all, there were rumors that King Rui had a bad temper. What if he felt neglected?
Surprisingly, King Rui seemed not to notice Su Yi’s lazy look. He did not ask anyone to serve him, but he took off his black cloak by himself.
“Why did you come back so early today?” Su Yi asked.
The servant who had been following behind King Rui just now, holding something in his hand, answered: “Some time ago, the King found several white foxes near the camp and deliberately ambushed them for two days before hunting them all. He wanted to make a fox fur coat for the Princess. It snowed today, and the fox fur coat happened to be made. Worried that the Princess would catch a cold, the King took it and sent it back personally.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yi propped herself up curiously.
Qing Lian took the fox fur from the servant’s hand and shook it gently.
The whole fox fur coat was as white as snow, light and warm. Even in the dark, the fur still shone with a moist glow.
Mrs. Liu felt that she had seen some of the world, but when she came to the palace today, she could not stop marveling at it.
Such snow-white fox fur without a single stray hair could not be bought with a fortune, not to mention that it was hunted by King Rui himself.
Su Yi touched it with her hand and found it very smooth. Although she had slept with a demon wolf as her pillow and had seen its fur more exquisite than this, there was really nothing better than this at the moment.
“Thank you.”
