Chapter 473: Revealed
Coming back from Mingyue Nunnery, Su Yiqing only felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground in her heart.
The feeling of the secret being revealed, in fact, is not very bad, at least this thing did not develop in the worst direction, thinking of the innocent and lovely children when she met the cuckoo, both mothers, how could she poison another mother in order to keep her secret?
Just when Su Yiqing sighed, Green Vine came to report that Princess Xiangshan asked to see her, saying that the princess insisted on seeing the princess, and if it was inconvenient for a while, she could wait outside.
How could the Dingwang Mansion let a princess wait outside the door?
Princess Xiangshan's move was clearly to coerce Su Yiqing to see her.
Su Yiqing thought about it, forget it, let's see it, and see what Princess Xiangshan has to say.
After instructing the maid to invite Princess Xiangshan to serve tea in the flower hall, she took care of her makeup a little, changed into the clothes of the guests, and went out to see Princess Xiangshan.
After taking the photo, she couldn't help but be stunned, Princess Xiangshan's complexion was very bad, and her heavy makeup could not be said to be haggard, probably because of the tense relationship between the Meng clan and Da Zhou, and her status as a friendly princess was embarrassing, and she suffered a lot of grievances.
Out of politeness, Su Yiqing didn't keep staring at each other, but only smiled: "Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always been good." β
"It's not good. Princess Xiangshan said that directly.
Su Yiqing was stunned again, she just said a polite word casually, she didn't plan to listen to Princess Xiangshan spit bitterness, or she didn't expect Princess Xiangshan to be so direct, it stands to reason that Princess Xiangshan is also a smooth person, she shouldn't be so direct, how can she answer the phone? If you ask Princess Xiangshan what's wrong. Obviously, I asked knowingly, but if I didn't. It didn't seem to be quite appropriate, so I said it. "It's going to be fine. β
Princess Xiangshan stared at Su Yiqing and said, "Princess Ding is an open-minded person. β
"Everything is just a thought. After Su Yiqing finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel funny, she just came back from the nunnery, and said such a half-nondescript sentence.
"I take the liberty of disturbing it, and I hope the princess will not be bored. Princess Xiangshan lowered her eyes and sighed, "I really have no one to talk to, I feel uncomfortable, I just want to talk to someone." β
"Princess...... Don't worry too much. Things will always work out. Su Yiqing can understand Princess Xiangshan's worries at this time, the two countries are at odds, and the most difficult thing to do is the princess who is close.
Princess Xiangshan immediately said to the maid beside her: "You guys step down first, I'll say a few words to Princess Ding." β
The maids and daughters brought by Princess Xiangshan all retreated in an orderly manner, while the maids of the Dingwang Mansion stood still, not squinting, as if they had not heard what Princess Xiangshan said.
Su Yiqing didn't want to be alone with Princess Xiangshan, but since Princess Xiangshan said so, she couldn't make the scene too embarrassing. She also signaled the maid of Dingwangfu to step back for the time being, she knew what Princess Xiangshan wanted to ask for.
The people's dislike for the Meng tribe has also reached the extreme, just like the gorgeous feather robe worn by Princess Xiangshan when the Meng envoy entered Beijing. The brocade garments woven from the feathers of birds are not as easy to preserve as the skins of animals, and the families of the wealthy have special servants to take care of these garments and have a way to store them, and they do not care about these two clothes. Nature doesn't matter, but the common people are different. A garment will be worn for several years, and then it will be bought according to the trend. I didn't know anything at all, and some of them didn't wear much when they bought it, and they only wore it on important days, only to take it out again, only to find that these beautiful clothes had rotted and smelled, and even polluted other good clothes.
The woman is entangled in a few clothes, and the man is lured by the casino brothel opened by the fierce clan, there are many bankrupt people who are in debt, and the people's grievances are boiling, even if the noblewomen who are slightly more knowledgeable take a reserved attitude towards the current situation, even if the princess of Xiangshan is good at dancing with long sleeves, they are also respectful.
But then again, if it weren't for Princess Xiangshan's plans in advance, she often went back and forth to the inner house of the prince and minister, using her identity to seek benefits, and only An'an was divided into a harmonious princess, working hard to tie up the good relations between the two countries Qin and Jin, and it would not be like this now.
In the early stage, the status of the Meng clan rose to the top, and some ministers said a lot of good things in the court according to her meaning in order to stand in line, please her or the Meng forces behind her, and as a result, the two countries were evil, and these ministers who had spoken for the Meng clan were all suspicious, and even some were cautious and did not take a stand, just because the women in the back house were closer to Princess Xiangshan, and they were also implicated.
The men in the court, many of them are also working hard to make political achievements in the local area, boil their qualifications, and rise up for a long time, if they make mistakes because of their own ability, they have nothing to say, but just because a few women are closer, it affects the future, which makes them feel aggrieved.
After frequently hitting a wall, Princess Xiangshan may want to seek other help.
"Princess Ding...... I don't think you're like everyone else. Princess Xiangshan hesitated for a long time before she said such a sentence.
"There are no two people in this world who are the same. Su Yiqing answered some questions.
Princess Xiangshan's eyes darkened, and she murmured: "I just think that Princess Ding treats people more sincerely, never takes perfunctory words, and talks to the princess, not so tired." β
"Have you ever thought about it, princess, sometimes you expect too much, and everyone just doesn't want you to spoil your fun. Su Yiqing didn't want to beat around the bush, and now there was no need, so she said directly: "Just like the princess came to the palace this time, I didn't mean that the princess was not welcome, but ...... Every time the princess came, the timing seemed wrong. β
It was probably the first time that someone said this, or rather, Princess Xiangshan didn't expect Su Yiqing to say this, her cheeks suddenly turned red like blood, and she was a little embarrassed, and after a while, she seemed to be annoyed and angry, and said: "I just said that the palace treats people more sincerely, and does not take perfunctory words, and the princess really told the truth." β
Su Yiqing said unhurriedly: "The truth is actually very hurtful, most people still like to listen to lies, or say that the truth is half-true, I just don't want the princess to have any joy." The purpose of the princess's trip, perhaps I can guess a thing or two. β
"Oh. Then it seems that the princess may have guessed wrong, of course. If just trying to talk to someone is the goal, then I admit it. Princess Xiangshan was probably enraged, and her tone was a little unkind.
Su Yiqing said: "Princess, probably you were born as a princess, and the golden branches and jade leaves were coaxed to grow up, and you were rarely wronged, so there are some things that you may think are nothing, but others may not be like this." Just like what you said, I think I treat people sincerely, not perfunctory, you just look at it from the perspective of a superior, if there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, a person whose status is much more noble than yours, you will not want the other party to go straight, then you will feel uneasy, and I ...... Most of the time, you have to take into account the feelings of various people. I don't like words to hurt any humble person, and the reason why I confess to the princess is because as a princess, I won't be hurt much by a word or two. β
"What does the princess think I can do for this trip?" Princess Xiangshan seemed to lose patience. I don't want to be preached.
"It gives people the illusion that Dingwangfu has some special connection with the fierce clan. Su Yiqing said and added. "Of course, if I'm wrong. Please forgive the princess, but whether the princess has the intention or not. That's what outsiders see, what do you think?"
Princess Xiangshan bit her lower lip tightly and did not speak.
Su Yiqing continued: "Also, princess, the way you visit, it is already a bit difficult for strong people, it is not a way to find someone to chat in your spare time, you should know that I have been closed to the palace for a long time, and my mother's family occasionally comes to visit on weekdays, and the rest is not seen, and the princess has to see me, and after seeing it, she said that she was just chatting casually, which is obviously not a casual chat." β
"It's me who took the liberty of it, and I ask Princess Ding to forgive me. Princess Xiangshan stood up suddenly, looking like she wanted to leave immediately.
Su Yiqing shook her head: "Princess, why are you bothering? I know that you are in a difficult situation, but I sincerely advise the princess, as the saying goes, the water spilled by the married daughter, since you can't get it back, don't get too involved in the affairs of your mother's family." β
"The princess said it so lightly, after all, they are all my flesh and blood, brothers and sisters, how can I ignore it?" Princess Xiangshan stabbed again, "Or I will also tell the truth, in order to determine the princess's experience, I can't understand this feeling." β
After saying this, Princess Xiangshan stared at Su Yiqing with wide eyes, and seemed to be a little nervous, for fear that Su Yiqing would turn her face.
Su Yiqing was just silent for a while, and said: "Maybe, the princess is right, I really don't have the mind of a princess, what I want in my heart is to live my own small life, this is not wrong, if the women of the world can keep to themselves, there will be countless disputes." β
Princess Xiangshan couldn't help but say: "Fang Cai's words, it was Xiangshan who offended, and asked the princess to forgive her guilt, but I heard some rumors about the princess, and the princess still has pity for a few maids, but she is so indifferent to the vast number of beings outside?"
Su Yiqing said: "It's not indifference, it's that people have to do what they can after all, I know that the princess is worried that the two countries will be at war, and the people of Li will suffer from the war and be displaced, but I am just a woman in the house, and I can almost say that I don't leave the house? Even if I am worried, what can I do? In the absence of a clear situation, it will backfire if I do something inappropriate because of a worry." β
"The princess may be able to persuade the king, sometimes a woman's words are better than a thousand armies. Princess Xiangshan finally said her purpose.
Su Yiqing said softly: "When I first got married, I chatted with the prince and talked about the relationship between Da Zhou and the Meng clan...... The prince said that he didn't want to fight again, and the people were not happy, and I believe what the prince said was true. β
"Do you believe it, or do you choose to believe it?" Princess Xiangshan's eyes suddenly sharpened, as if she could see through Su Yiqing's heart.
Su Yiqing calmly met Princess Xiangshan's eyes, "For me, the reason is not important, the important thing is the result, I believe, as for whether I really believe it or choose to believe it, is it important?"
Princess Xiangshan couldn't refute it for a while, and after a while, she sat back on the chair and said: "But I can sue Princess SΓΉ now, what King Ding did at the border pass, but he didn't want peace between the two countries, on the contrary, he frequently provoked the Meng people, and led the people to boil within the Meng tribe, hoping to unite Dajing to give justice to the oppressed people of the Meng tribe......"
"Princess, don't talk about it......" Su Yiqing stopped Princess Xiangshan and said, "The princess is now thousands of miles away, many things are just the princess's words, the prince can't argue, the princess said this, it's unfair to the princess, or, if the princess thinks that the princess really has any thoughts, she shouldn't tell me, what does the princess want me to do? Is it thousands of miles away, I don't know anything, can I persuade the prince?"
"The prince and the princess have a deep relationship with each other, and the princess is better at saying a word than others saying a thousand white sentences. Princess Xiangshan said and completely put down the princess's shelf, and pleaded sincerely, "Please make the princess say a few fair words for the sake of the innocent people." β
Su Yiqing looked at Princess Xiangshan, who looked a little humble, and shook her head secretly, this is also a person who is so anxious that she loses her mind, what does even Yufeng really want to do, how can a woman be persuaded in a few words?
Besides, from the standpoint of Princess Xiangshan, this matter is naturally frequently provoked by the officers and soldiers under Lian Yufeng, but in the eyes of the people on Lian Yufeng's side, the fierce clan is also frequently provoking Da Zhou.
first married Da Zhou, provoked another war between Da Zhou and Da Jing, but the goal was not achieved, and then turned around and remarried Da Zhou's sworn enemy, hoping to put pressure on Da Zhou.
In the eyes of the Great Zhou, this move is simply treacherous, coupled with the various actions of the Meng profiteers in the Great Zhou before, so that the people of the Great Zhou are extremely resentful, at this time in the Zhou soldiers on the border of the Great Zhou, many of them have been persecuted by the Meng people, and even have relatives who have been ruined by the Meng people's printed money, casinos, etc.
Now that they have the opportunity, how can they not take revenge with a sword?
The fierce clan is not weak and can be bullied, as soon as the two sides come into contact, they will naturally have constant disputes, and it is difficult to say that one side is absolutely right and one side is purely innocent.
Now Princess Xiangshan obviously wants to attribute all the blame to Lian Yufeng, which is naturally unfair.
Princess Xiangshan thought about it, gritted her teeth and said: "The princess knows that some unscrupulous businessmen of the Meng clan can make a difference in the Great Zhou, and there are people who protect them, otherwise how can a foreigner do some unsavory hookup on his land?"
Su Yiqing said a little disappreciatively: "So what? The Great Zhou has a vast land and many officials, and there are always some people who are greedy for profits, and this kind of thing is not only in the Great Zhou, but everywhere. β
"But what if I say that it is none other than the prince who shelters these people?" Princess Xiangshan looked straight at Su Yiqing again. (To be continued......)
