"Get up."

The queen mother showed a rare smile, so that the concubines present felt that Su Jiuran was easy to provoke, and at first glance, the queen mother supported her.

The concubines think about it, it is really human nature for the queen to support her mother, she was Su Jiuran's mother back then, and the current prime minister's wife saved the life of the queen, and the queen mother should be different from the Su family.

But there are people who are in a hurry to find trouble, just like the imperial concubine.

"Yo, the crown princess is really a good shelf, a good face, and she is even later than us elders."

"Yes........." The concubine was delayed.

How could the imperial concubine give Su Jiuran a chance to explain, interrupt Su Jiuran's words, and continue to stir up trouble.

"It's good that Ting'er didn't look at it at the beginning, otherwise, this palace would have a headache."

The imperial concubine's words, both openly and secretly, mean that Su Jiuran can become the crown princess now, because the eldest prince did not look down on Su Jiuran, but let Su Jiuran marry the crown prince Gu Xiu, which was a good irony.

didn't take the queen mother in her eyes at all, all the concubines waited to see the joke, and no one said that the imperial concubine was not.

"Niangniang laughed, the concubine wanted only the prince from beginning to end......"

As soon as Su Jiuran's words came out, everyone present understood that it was not that Gu Ting looked down on her Su Jiuran, but that Su Jiuran didn't want to marry Gu Ting.

At the beginning, the emperor went to two holy decrees in a row, asking Su Jiuran to choose who he wanted to marry, no one forced him, and everything respected Su Jiuran's choice, which is well known, and now the imperial concubine wants to ridicule the queen's mother, but she dug a pit for herself, which is really a slap in the face.

The imperial concubine touched her hair bun awkwardly with her hand, saying that the bun was messy, and she had to go back to the palace to comb her hair in a bun.

The concubines did not stay long, and after the imperial concubine left, they retired one by one.

Only then did the queen call Su Jiuran to her.

"Come, open here with the queen mother."

Su Jiuran stepped forward, and the queen mother took Su Jiuran's hand and put it in the palm of her hand, Su Jiuran was afraid that the wound on her left wrist would be discovered, so she tried to hide the wound.

"Good boy, you are quite famous in Kyoto, you are beautiful and kind, the people of Kyoto are all praised, the prime minister and his wife have taught a good daughter, and they have taught a good daughter-in-law to the palace."

"The queen mother praised it."

Although the queen is in the court, Su Jiuran's reputation is also heard, and the queen thinks that after a country, she must be able to take care of the harem and the world, and she must also be the same as the Son of Heaven in general.

Looking at the whole of Kyoto, the most suitable candidate for the future queen is none other than Su Jiuran, and the queen's mother has long intended to want Su Jiuran to marry Gu Xiu as the crown princess.

I thought that I would mention this matter to the emperor when Gu Xiu returned victoriously, but who knew that Gu Xiu was seriously injured and had lost his legs, and the queen was afraid that the people of the Su family would not want to marry Su Jiuran into the palace, so she never mentioned this matter.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu was a fighter, and he didn't let Gu Ting pick up the cheap for nothing, if Su Jiuran was allowed to marry Gu Ting, it would really be flowers inserted in cow dung.

"Queen Mother~" The child's call came from outside the door.

It was Gu Yi, the seventh prince, Gu Yi asked the palace maids behind him to retreat, walked in by himself, and saw Su Jiuran, not knowing that she was his imperial sister-in-law, he actually called his sister.

"Sister, it turns out that you are here too."

The queen mother heard this and corrected: "You shouldn't call her sister, she is the crown princess of your second imperial brother, you should call her the imperial sister-in-law." ”

"Oh~ Not long ago, the palace people said that the prince's brother married a beautiful girl, when I saw it today, it was indeed very beautiful, and the people were good, I like the imperial sister-in-law."

It was the first time that the queen mother heard Gu Yi say so many words, and on weekdays, Gu Yi talked little and had a weak temperament, so she kissed Gu Xiu.

"The queen mother, the retainer was greedy for fun, and almost fell off the eaves, it was the imperial sister-in-law who saved the retainer, although the imperial sister-in-law hid her hand behind her at that time, but the reinforcing minister saw it clearly, the imperial sister-in-law's hand was injured because of the retainer."

After listening to Gu Yi's words, the queen mother felt more grateful to Su Jiuran in her heart, and remembered that Gu Yi said that Su Jiuran's hand was injured, so she pulled her hand in front of her eyes and examined it carefully.

There is a wound on the wrist of the left hand, which has been treated simply by Su Jiuran, and the blood has clotted, and it should not bleed again.

"You kid, you don't say a word when you are injured, just endure it for life, if you have a scar, what is good, come on, pass on the imperial doctor."

"The queen mother, it's okay, it's just a little injury, and the son can bear it, and he is used to it, so he doesn't have to bother with the doctor."

Su Jiuran has long been used to it, and it is inevitable that people who practice martial arts will have some scars, not to mention, if you talk about scars, what is in Su Jiuran's heart can be called a real scar.

Su Jiuran repeatedly insisted that there was no need to bother the imperial doctor, and the queen mother also relied on her, and ordered the palace maid to bring the jade clear paste and give it to Su Jiuran, I heard that this jade clear paste has the effect of removing scars, and I don't know if it is true, since it is a reward from the queen mother, Su Jiuran had to accept it.

"Queen Mother, today the retainers have finished all the homework that should be done, can I go to the prince's brother's palace to play with the prince's brother?"

"Brother Prince is busy learning to handle government affairs, so he doesn't have time to play with you, good girl."

Gu Yi took Su Jiuran's hand, "Then let the imperial sister-in-law play with me, I will go to the prince's brother's palace, and when he is done, the queen mother, you will promise the son, the son-in-law has not seen the prince's brother for a long time, and the son-in-law misses the prince's brother." ”

"Queen Mother, let the Seventh Prince go, and the retainers will take care of him."

"Then you'll have to do it."

With the permission of the queen's mother, Gu Yi's little hand took Su Jiuran's hand, and he was about to go to the prince's palace happily.

Su Jiuran hurriedly saluted: "Erchen retires." He was dragged away by Gu Yi.

Gu Yi came to the East Palace, Gu Xiu was in the study to review the chapters, Gu Yi did not disturb Gu Xiu, but followed Su Jiuran to Yichun Palace.

Gu Xiu could have avoided working day and night like this, but somehow, the emperor has not been in good health recently, and in order to make the emperor work less, Gu Xiu took most of the pieces to review, and after the review, the emperor would look at it and see where there was anything wrong.

However, at this time, Gu Xiu should have finished reviewing it, and I don't know why I am still reading the chapter today.

It turned out that the imperial court had encountered tricky things in recent days, and the ministers couldn't think of a good way.

Drought and waterlogging occur alternately in Minzhou all year round, and the people are miserable, and none of the civil and military officials in the imperial court can come up with a good idea.

Gu Xiu hadn't closed his eyes all night because of this.

"Imperial sister-in-law, is the prince's brother so busy every day?"

"It's like the Seven Princes are busy doing their homework every day, if they have more homework, the Seven Princes will have to spend more hours, if they have less homework, the Seven Princes will spend less time, and the same is true for the prince's brother."

"Oh, so that's the case, imperial sister-in-law, can you not always call me the seventh prince, I think it sounds very rusty, I like the imperial sister-in-law, can the imperial sister-in-law also like me, don't be so respectful to me."

"Okay, the imperial sister-in-law knows, I won't call you the seventh prince in the future, the imperial sister-in-law will call you Xiaoqi."

"Xiao Qi, well, I like it, the prince's brother also calls me that, sister-in-law, I'm hungry."

Gu Yi's stomach growled uncontrollably, Su Jiuran couldn't help laughing, and quickly called Youran and asked her to look at Gu Yi.

Su Jiuran did not call the food in the imperial dining room, but cooked pastries himself in the small kitchen in Yichun Palace.

Yichun Palace originally did not have a kitchen, but Su Jiuran was a little unaccustomed to eating things in the palace, and felt that the food in the palace was flashy, so he ordered someone to build a stove and build a simple kitchen.

It didn't take long for Su Jiuran to bring out a few pastries, and before it was time for dinner, Su Jiuran simply made these pastries and let Gu Yi deal with them first.

Su Jiuran brought the pastries to Gu Yi, and Gu Yi only felt that these pastries didn't seem to have been seen in the palace.

"Imperial sister-in-law, what kind of cakes are these, why haven't I seen them in the palace?"

"This is hibiscus cake, this is jujube mud cake, and this is mung bean cake."

Su Jiuran pointed to the pastries and introduced them one by one.

"These are all in the palace, but not this pattern, the pastries in the palace are all boxy, a well-behaved one, if you don't taste the taste, you really can't see what kind of pastries, the pastries made by the imperial sister-in-law are the best I have ever seen."

Gu Yi picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and tasted it.

"The taste is also excellent, a thousand times better than the imperial chef in the palace."

Gu Yi was full of praise for the pastries made by Su Jiuran, Su Jiuran made pastries in a variety of styles, including flower-shaped, blocky, and round, which were indeed more than those in the palace.

The taste, Su Jiuran hasn't tasted much of the pastries in the palace, and I really don't know if I can compare with the palace.

Halfway through eating, Gu Yi put a few pieces of each of the three pastries on the plate, picked up the plate and was about to leave.

"Brother Prince must have never eaten such delicious pastries, I'm going to send some to Brother Prince."

As soon as Su Jiuran was about to say that he had sent someone to send him over, Gu Yi had already walked out for the most part, and Su Jiuran didn't stop him, so he kept following Gu Yi.

Gu Yi arrived at the study and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

"Brother Prince, it's me."

It didn't take long for Ye Ze to open the door from the inside, Gu Yi walked in, and Su Jiuran was standing outside the door.

"Crown Princess, aren't you going in?"

Ye Ze asked respectfully, Su Jiuran waved his hand to signal that he was not going in, Ye Ze closed the door and stood outside the door with Su Jiuran.

"Why is Your Highness still reviewing the recital today?"

Su Jiuran remembered that at this time in the past, Gu Xiu had already finished reviewing it, and he was still busy today, so he asked curiously.

"This ......" Ye Ze hesitated a little, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer, this palace just asks casually."

Ye Ze thought about it, and there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said the reason.

"Back to the crown princess, droughts and waterlogging have occurred from time to time in Minzhou, and in recent years, they have occurred frequently alternately, but the magistrates have failed to report in time, and the people are miserable, and the court has only learned in recent days that His Royal Highness is worried about this matter."
