Su Qing's next words surprised her even more.

He pondered for a moment, "The old minister Mao recommended himself, I don't know what the Queen Mother thinks?" ”

"You?"

Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, and then she understood why Su Qing strongly opposed Su Zhiming going, it turned out that he had this thought.

It seems that she and Yuanzhi attached too much importance to the drought in the northwest, so that all parties were eager to move on this position of Qincha, intending to use it to make meritorious contributions.

Even Su Qing is no exception.

She pondered for a moment, "The northwest is dry, and it's summer, and it's very hot. You are old and your body is not very strong, so why do you need to wade in this troubled water? ”

Su Qing got up from his seat, "Although the old minister is old, he is not yet able to move. It is not easy for people to feel at ease when such a big matter as the Northwest disaster relief is handed over to a young man like Zhiming. ”

Su Youyi shook her head.

"Although Zhiming is young, he acts steadily, and I can trust him."

"What the old minister said to the Queen Mother before, the Queen Mother didn't think about it at all, and didn't worry about affecting his career in the court in the future?"

Su Qing looked a little anxious.

Su Youyi smiled, "Yes." He is young, and he has such a heavy errand, if he does it well, it will be a great achievement, and he will naturally attract envy. ”

Su Qing was silent.

Su Youyi was full of confidence, "What if it causes people to be jealous?" There is a mourning family in the middle of the court, who dares to frame him? The mourners will never allow such a thing to happen! ”

……

A conversation broke up.

When Su Qing left Kunning Palace, his face was even more ugly than when he came in.

Out of the palace gate, the gorgeous carriage of the Su Mansion stopped outside the palace gate, and when the subordinates saw him coming out, they hurriedly drove the carriage up.

"Master, I've been gone for a long time today."

Su Qing's face was gloomy, "Yes, it's useless to do it for half a day." ”

Seeing that his expression was not good, the subordinates didn't dare to say much, and helped him into the carriage, "Master, will you go back to the house directly?" ”

"Go straight home."

Su Qing sat in the carriage and pondered with his hands on his forehead.

The carriage moved slowly and headed in the direction of Su Mansion, and after not going far, Su Qing suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage, "No, don't go back to the mansion first." ”

"Sir, where are you going?"

Su Qing sighed, "Go to the market and buy some wood carving toys, and you can send them to the palace for the six and seventh princes in a while." ”

Although he didn't have a pleasant conversation with Su Youyi today, Su Youyi is Su Youyi, and the child is a child.

When he saw those two children, he couldn't help but think that if his daughter was still alive, his grandson would be so old.

The carriage turned around and headed towards the market.

……

After Su Qing left, Su Youyi ordered someone to invite Su Zhiming into the palace.

Su Zhiming was about to hand over the post to the palace to pay a visit, when he heard that someone had been sent from the palace, and when he went out to take a look, he found that it was Duofu by Su Youyi's side.

"Father-in-law Duofu, why are you here in person?"

"Lord Xiao Su."

Duofu saluted, "The Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace immediately, there is something important to discuss, and the carriage is waiting outside the door!" ”

"I'm just about to go into the palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

After that, he hurriedly followed Duofu out of the door.

In Kunning Palace, Su Youyi sat cross-legged on the couch, looking sullen.

Chunhua saw that after she talked to Su Qing, she immediately ordered Duofu to invite Su Zhiming, and she expected that something had happened.

But she didn't say it, and Chunhua didn't dare to ask, so she just stood outside the gate of Kunning Palace to see when Su Zhiming would come.

Su Zhiming arrived soon.

"Lord Xiaosu, you're finally here."

Seeing him coming, Chunhua hurriedly welcomed him in, "The Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Su Zhiming asked as he walked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother today?" ”

Chunhua sighed, "It's a little bad, it's probably the reason why Old Su entered the palace and saw the Queen Mother." I don't know what they said, after Old Master Su left, the Queen Mother was a little sullen. ”

"Don't you even know?"

Chunhua shook her head, "When they talked, the slave and maid were not nearby, and there were only two of them in the hall. ”

Su Zhiming nodded and hurriedly walked towards the hall.

Seeing him come in, Su Youyi raised her head, her eyes paired, and Su Zhiming seemed to have guessed something.

"Weichen, please Queen Mother."

Su Youyi lazily waved her hand, "Sit down." ”

Chunhua served tea and stood aside.

Su Youyi said: "You came quickly, how about it?" Go to the northwest, have you packed your bags? ”

"My father ordered someone to take care of me at home, how can I still care about packing now?"

Su Zhiming looked a little anxious, "I originally planned to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, but before I went out, I happened to come to Duofu Gonggong and ran into each other." But the Queen Mother wants to tell me about Uncle Su? ”

"You got it?"

"Got it. Uncle Su didn't bring me to Kunning Palace, there must be something I couldn't listen to. ”

Now they have a close relationship between the DPRK and China, and they have no reason to hide it from him, whether it is a government affair or a family affair. In addition, Su Qing avoided talking about his trip to the northwest for disaster relief, so Su Zhiming naturally guessed that it was related to this matter.

Su Youyi told him what Su Qing had said.

Su Zhiming sighed when he heard this, "If Uncle Su said these words in front of me, I would be grateful to him for his kindness." But he said this behind my back, and I had to be suspicious......"

"I suspect that he has selfish intentions, but he just wants to monopolize this errand, doesn't he?"

Su Zhiming didn't dare to speak, he was a junior, and it was rude for him to speak out about the mistakes of his elders.

Su Youyi said this, he couldn't say it.

But that's exactly what he thought in his heart.

Su Youyi said: "In the past few years, he has been promoted again and again, and he is deeply trusted by the first emperor, and now the new monarch has ascended the throne with the wind of me, the queen mother, who is in charge, and has risen to the top of the clouds." It's no longer the former Qingliu poor official Su Qing......"

Su Zhiming hesitated for a moment and said what was in his heart.

"Actually, there are some things that I wanted to say before, but I couldn't. Since I have talked about this today, I can't care about it, so I have to say it to the Queen Mother. ”

"What?"

Su Zhiming said: "Does the Queen Mother remember that Concubine Yu was kicked out by the emperor in the Qianqing Palace before?" That time, Uncle Su and I were about to go to see the emperor, and Concubine Jue mocked us because she was not angry. I thought that Uncle Su would tolerate it, after all, she was a concubine, but I didn't expect Uncle Su to ridicule Concubine Su sharply, which made her jump to her feet with anger. ”

"And such a thing?"

Su Zhiming bit his lip, "At that time, I thought it was just Uncle Su's true temperament, but the second time outside the Kunning Palace, Concubine Yu took off the hairpin and treated the crime, and what Uncle Su said was even more excessive." ”

Su Youyi said: "What did he say? ”

Su Zhiming imitated Su Qing's tone at that time, "Concubine Jue has always regarded herself as the daughter of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and she has been domineering in the palace for many years. Have you ever thought that it is your proud identity that restricts you, the concubines and Xu Guiren, who were born in small families, are more faceless than you, the concubine, haven't you thought about why? ”
