"We're fine." Su Wanyan was a little embarrassed, and threw the topic back to her, deliberately holding her, "I heard that the prince is very fond of his sister now, and he will definitely reward him when he gives birth to a grandson in the future, and he will compare the princess to the princess." ”

She deliberately provoked Su Yuxian's fighting heart, but she was afraid that she would be cautious and behaved.

Su Yuxian couldn't help but show a smug look on her face, "That's natural, not only the prince, but also the emperor, the queen mother and the queen will reward me, at that time, I saw that Qiu Yulin still had the face to put the princess in front of me." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Su Wanyan, with a mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, "Sister knows, the prince has no real power, and my sister, the princess, will definitely not be easy to do, and my sister will not have to be afraid in the future, my sister will take care of you." ”

As soon as Su Wanyan wanted to reply, she heard a man's voice at the gate of the courtyard.

"You don't have to worry about it, the princess of this king is taken care of by this king, it's better than you, the crown prince's side concubine." Duanmu Rui strode over and stood beside Su Wanyan, looking at Su Yuxian opposite with sharp eyes.

Su Yuxian said stupidly: "It's naturally good for my sister to have the prince to take care of me, and I, who is my sister, can rest assured." ”

Duanmu Rui smiled at her and looked down at Su Wanyan, who asked him, "Why are you here?" ”

"I heard that the people said that you went back to your mother's house, and this king will come to pick you up, so that you don't want to go back to your home." Duanmu Rui said softly.

Su Wanyan glanced at Su Yuxian out of the corner of her eyes, and said softly: "The concubine can't let go of her brother, so come back to see him." ”

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are flirting with each other and concubines, even if the prince loves Su Yuxian now, Su Yuxian did not feel such tenderness from the prince, she felt sour in her heart, and silently retreated from the courtyard.

She went to the main courtyard to see Huo Qingqing, Huo Qingqing was waiting for her in the house, "I heard that you have returned home, why don't you see you?" ”

"Su Wanyan also came back, I took a look and said a few words to her." Su Yuxian said and saluted Huo Qingqing.

Huo Qingqing put away this matter first, walked up to her, put his hand on her stomach, and felt excited in his heart, but in the end, he didn't have much joy, he withdrew his hand and asked her calmly: "How is it?" Are you all right? ”

Su Yuxian nodded and said with a smile: "Mother, look at you, you don't have to be restrained, as soon as Qian Qing dies, the prince will never know that this child is not his, if this is a male fetus, he is the grandson of the emperor, even if it is not, it is also the emperor's eldest granddaughter, the eldest princess in the future, the status of the daughter will only get higher and higher, as long as the mother and relatives wait to enjoy the happiness." ”

Huo Qingqing thought about it and felt that it was also, who else knew this secret now besides themselves. Her face gradually filled with joy, and she greeted Su Yuxian coldly, and told her not to take it lightly, so as not to let people take advantage of the loophole, and finally came to this point and gave up all her efforts.

After talking about the child, and talking about Su Wanyan, Huo Qingqing looked unhappy.

"You said that you went to talk to your sister just now, why did you want to go to her, she didn't even see her mother's face every time she came back, and when she got married, her mother was so meticulous for her, she had no conscience."

Su Yuxian hurriedly explained, "Don't be surprised, I'm angry with her, I finally met, and I also probed her bottom." ”

"How do you think she's doing?" Huo Qingqing immediately said, "No matter how good it is, it's not uncommon, who doesn't know that the prince is useless, he will only sit and eat." ”

Su Yuxian said sourly: "Mother, don't say it, they are really a good match, one is useless, the other likes to be scheming, and he just looks at the right eye, that sticky is unbearable." ”

"So, the prince likes her very much?" Huo Qingqing also looked sour.

Su Yuxian frowned and nodded, "It's not, I can't stand it and leave quickly." Mother, how can we make her feel better, she is also worthy of a little cheap hoof. ”

Huo Qingqing suddenly remembered that she had been threatened by her with a handkerchief, saying that she wanted to tell the master that she had an affair with someone, and forced her to kneel and beg for mercy, and then the master was framed, so she didn't mention it again, probably because she forgot, but she will never forget the humiliation, thinking of this, malice gathered in her eyes.

"No, a slut like her just can't make her feel better, she must make the prince disgusted with her and drive her out of the palace."

As soon as she heard this, Su Yuxian became energetic, and asked Huo Qingqing excitedly: "Mother, what can you do?" ”

Huo Qingqing took it for granted that she was treating others in her own way, she squinted her eyes and showed a vicious smile on her face, and whispered a few words in Su Yuxian's ear, Su Yuxian covered her mouth and laughed happily.

"Mother, this method is good, I don't believe that the prince will treat her as a treasure."

A few days later, Huo Qingqing appeared in the palace, and the subordinates thought that she was looking for the princess, so they said that they would go to the princess to report, but she had to see the princess, saying that there was something important to inform the prince.

It happened that Duanmu Rui was in the mansion, and the subordinate went to report to him, and he asked people to call Su Wanyan, but the subordinate came back and said that the princess was not in the mansion, so he went to the flower hall where he saw the guest.

Huo Qingqing saw him and saluted him, he was in courtesy, and he also returned the favor.

Huo Qingqing began to speak, and he seemed to be a little difficult to speak, so he said: "If the general's wife has something to say, there is no need to hide it." ”

Huo Qingqing let go at this time, and pushed the box he brought in front of Duanmu Rui, "Lord Wang, it's not a courtier's pretense posture, it's really a little difficult to talk about." ”

"What is this?" Duanmu Rui opened it and took a look, there was a letter inside, and a handkerchief, which was already a little old, and a jade pendant. ”

"This is a few days ago someone sent to the princess to the house, handed over to the princess before the princess, let him transfer it to the princess, was found by the courtiers and brought it."

Huo Qingqing looked very ashamed, a little uneasy, seeing that Duanmu Rui's face was sinking like water, she didn't seem to react, she said again: "The courtiers didn't dare to hide the prince, so they came to tell immediately, and they also wanted to ask for a favor for Wanyan, for the sake of the courtiers and her father, don't be too harsh on Wanyan." ”

Duanmu Rui stretched his face, picked up the water-blue handkerchief in the box, drew a word with white lines on it, and embroidered a few magnolia flowers, the embroidery was exquisite.

He opened the letter again, and saw that it was a man's handwriting, and he glanced at what was written, and his face sank a little.

Wu Qing said: Since you got married, I have missed it day and night, but I can't see each other. I thought about it for a long time, and I knew that I couldn't insist anymore, so I could only endure the pain and say goodbye.

"Who is this man?" Duanmu Rui asked Huo Qingqing, took the white jade pendant again, and Mosuo it a few times.

Huo Qingqing saw that his face was not good, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The courtiers don't know, they come and go secretly, and no one may know about it except for her personal maid's mansion." ”

"The king knows about this, thank you for telling me."

Duanmu Rui got up and took the box to leave, Huo Qingqing thought that he was going to say something angry, to make Su Wanyan look good or something, but he didn't expect him to be so calm, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but seeing that this meant to send off guests, he hurriedly left.

Back at his residence, Duanmu Rui put his things on the table and went to his own business, he didn't believe Huo Qingqing's words.

The letter written by the man can be written by any scholar who writes it on the street, and the jade pendant can't explain anything, it is an ordinary jade pendant, without any private information.

The handkerchief is a bit interesting, it should indeed be Su Wanyan's, but the embroidery on it is definitely not from her hand, he has seen half of the handkerchief she embroidered, and the embroiderer can't see it at all.

What he didn't know was that the handkerchief was Su Wanyan's old thing, which was embroidered before the original body, and the female red of the original body was very powerful. This veil was stolen from her house by Huo Qingqing.

After more than an hour, Duanmu Rui asked his subordinates to inquire if Su Wanyan had returned home, and the subordinates came back and said that she had returned home.

Duanmu Rui took the box to Su Wanyan to see how she reacted.

Su Wanyan saw him coming, and in order to show intimacy, she greeted him with a smile on her face, said thoughtful words, and poured him tea and water.

When she saw the box, she thought that Duanmu Rui had sent her something, so she asked curiously what was inside.

"Open it up and see for yourself." Duanmu Rui pointed casually.

Su Wanyan opened the box with doubts, saw the contents inside, opened the envelope and looked at it, and she understood everything. Thinking that Duanmu Rui believed it, he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, so he fell silent for a while.

"This is what your stepmother brought here, do you have anything to say?" Duanmu Rui put down the tea bowl and asked her.

"I don't have anything to say, the clear ones will clear themselves." Su Wanyan said coldly.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, thinking that Duanmu Rui came to her with something and asked her that she didn't trust her, what else could she say, did she want to make her look pitiful and beg him to believe in herself?

In Duanmu Rui's opinion, she didn't even have a word of explanation, which didn't take him seriously at all, he got up with a cold face and left.

It's one thing for him not to believe that she would have an affair with someone, it's another thing for her to ignore him, why should he be polite to someone who doesn't take him seriously.

Although there was this turmoil, in front of outsiders, they still seemed very intimate and affectionate, and when it reached the emperor, the emperor was very satisfied, and felt that Su Wanyan was trying to gain Duanmu Rui's trust, and soon there should be news that it would be used again.

Speaking of Su Yuxian, Huo Qingqing passed the news to her, saying that he had sent Duanmu Rui those forged evidence of fornication, and Duanmu Rui looked very unhappy.

Su Yuxian became even more proud, imagining the picture of Su Wanyan being driven out of the palace by Duanmu Rui, but she also knew that they were married by the emperor, and it was not so easy to separate, and her heart was gloomy.

Fortunately, she has the favor of the prince, in order to show her favor in front of people, elevate her identity, begged the prince to say that she has been bored recently, and the East Palace has not been lively for a long time, she is afraid that the child will also feel bored in the stomach, and wants to invite some ladies and former friends into the palace to hold a chrysanthemum banquet.

The prince wanted to accumulate strength and win over the officials, so he readily agreed, but he didn't dare to say these words to Su Yuxian.

On the day of the party, the autumn was crisp and the weather was very good, and Su Wanyan also received an invitation to come to the East Palace.

The people who came were all the family members of the ministers who were reused by the emperor in the court, and the list was all checked by the prince, what he thought was that as long as these ladies and young ladies were good friends with Su Yuxian, he would also have a topic that could be pulled into the relationship when he talked to the ministers, so he especially supported her, and even the crown princess came to sit for a while.

Because she was nominally from a family, and her status was also valuable, Su Wanyan was called by Su Yuxian to sit beside her.

It is said that it is a chrysanthemum banquet, and the banquet is arranged in the pavilion of the garden, surrounded by chrysanthemums of various colors that bloom very delicately, and the ladies and ladies are in a very good mood.
