Chapter 166: Zhang Xiao Slug
The farce of Concubine Fang's fetus was not mentioned until the evening.
Su Youyi naturally replied one by one, she believed that the emperor should already know about it, with his cleverness, there are some things that don't need to be understood too clearly, and he also knows it in his heart.
For example, he may not know that Yan Concubine swam over from the lake to find her overnight, but he must know that Yan Concubine's mind can't design such an exquisite game, and this matter is naturally her handiwork.
The emperor seemed to be smiling when he heard this, and only said: "What a virtuous concubine, she doesn't even let go of a child who has not yet been born and doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman, how much do you say she should hate the eldest prince and the third prince in her heart?" ”
Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, knowing that the emperor was cold.
Although Concubine Xiangui is the daughter of Li Gelao, she has been in the palace for many years, and the emperor always has some affection for her.
Knowing that the person next to him is so vicious, and has no pity for his children, it would be chilling for anyone.
Su Youyi comforted: "The emperor doesn't have to worry. There are many people around the eldest prince and the third prince to protect them, not to mention that the two princes are the emperor's sons-in-law, and their identities are particularly noble. The virtuous concubine only dared to attack Concubine Fang with an unstable foundation, and would not do anything to the two princes. ”
The emperor nodded, "Yes, not to mention that there are ready-made Yan concubines to use, she is naturally happy to use them." If her plan succeeds, she can either eradicate Concubine Yan or destroy Concubine Fang, and her prestige in the palace will be even higher, who else dares to disagree? Who knew that Concubine Yan suddenly opened her mind and knew that she was consulting with you, and she suffered from you again. ”
Su Youyi smiled and didn't speak.
Huang Shangmin. "What's wrong?" ”
She came back to her senses, "It's nothing, the concubine is just worried that Concubine Xiangui's treacherous plan will be exposed this time, although there is no evidence to convict her, but she must be angry." The concubine has offended her too many times, but I'm afraid that this time she may not be willing to let me go easily. ”
"There's me, don't worry."
The emperor patted her hand, which was considered comfort.
This made Su Youyi's heart full of a sense of security.
No matter how popular the virtuous concubine is, in the final analysis, this harem is not her in charge, or even the queen, but-
The emperor calls the shots.
As long as the emperor protects her, others can't move lightly.
It's just that Concubine Xian is not an ordinary person after all, she has a mother family with more powerful brains, but I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to pass this time......
Early the next morning, the little palace maid in the flower room came to deliver flowers.
In the past, honeysuckle and chrysanthemums were often sent to the garden. The flowers are coming, saying that the weather is hot, and the two items planted in the garden are very good, which is suitable for clearing the heat and going to the fire.
Now what is being sent is a cockscomb flower, which is blooming brilliantly and is suitable for placing a bottle in the room.
Su Youyi liked it a lot, and couldn't help but ask the little palace maid a few more words, "This flower is blooming so well, why didn't I see it last time I went to the garden?" ”
The little palace maid said: "Niangniang doesn't know, there are not many cockscomb flowers in the garden, and they bloom in the corner, but I'm afraid that Niangniang won't see it for a while." ”
After saying that, he looked to the side, and saw that there was no one around, so he leaned into Su Youyi's ear, "Niangniang, the old man invites you to go to the rockery in the afternoon." ”
Su Youyi was shocked, but there was no wave on her face.
She turned her head and glanced at the little palace maid, the other party's eyes were clear, not like a scheming person.
She was still a little uneasy, and chuckled, "What are you talking about?" What old people, what rockery? ”
The old man must be referring to Ji Yushen, and the rockery Su Youyi naturally knows it.
But what if someone accidentally bumped into her and Ji Yushen meeting on the rockery and deliberately set a trap to wait for her, what should I do?
The palace maid smiled when she heard this, "The one who said that you are smart and cautious, and you will not easily trust the slave maid, and it is true." There is a sentence that the slave maid brought to you, saying that it is Zhang ...... Zhang Xiao slug. ”
The palace maid also felt strange when she said it, and looked at Su Youyi's face attentively, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw her.
It seems that there is indeed some allusion to this strange appellation.
Su Youyi said: "Got it, you go and talk back and tell him that I will definitely go." ”
Ji Yushen looked for him, thinking that it was related to Concubine Fang's incident this time.
Shuya came up from behind the tea, and looked at the back of the palace maid leaving, "Niangniang, what did the little palace maid say to Niangniang?" God mysterious. ”
In the future, she and Ji Yushen may have to meet for the matter of the virtuous concubine, and Shuya must know about this matter, otherwise she will not even have a helper.
She thought for a moment and said to Shuya, "Shuya, there's something I want to tell you. ”
……
"So that's the case, mother, what is that little slug?"
Su Youyi omitted many things between her and Ji Yushen, and also omitted the destruction of the two families, only saying that Ji Yushen and her were old friends, and now she wanted to secretly help her escape the frame of the virtuous concubine.
Shuya didn't care much, but felt that it was a good thing that Su Youyi had such a helper, Ji Yushen was more able to protect Su Youyi than Su Qing who was connected to the sect, whether it was talent or official position, or the favor in front of the emperor and the power in the court.
Su Youyi said with a smile: "Zhang Xiao Slug is a former student of my father. His name is not called this, but one winter he had a cold and always had a runny nose, and it took a long time for him to get better. The children in the school joked that he was called a slug, and later I don't know which elementary school student said that the slug's father used to be nicknamed Slug when he was in school. ”
Shuya couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth with her hand and laughing, "How could there be such a coincidence?" ”
Su Youyi said: "Later, everyone said that since his father is a slug, then he has to be called a little slug." Because his surname is Zhang, we call him Zhang Little Slug. This kind of old thing, except for the children in the school, is only known to me and him. So he used this as a code, and I could naturally confirm that it was him. ”
In addition to the two of them, the other children in the primary school should all be in Lingnan now, either marrying wives and having children, or running businesses and schools, and living a peaceful life.
There may be a few people who can enter the official career, and it is impossible to come to the capital, so Su Youyi has no doubts about this.
Shuya couldn't help but say: "The school run by Niangniang's father in the past is so lively, I'm afraid more than one child has a nickname, right?" Then Lord Ji will discuss things with you again, wouldn't you want to report the nicknames of the children in the school one by one? ”
Su Youyi smiled and didn't speak.
Those old memories gradually emerged, and for her, in addition to sadness, it was bitterness.
……
In the afternoon, Su Youyi came as she said, and it was the rockery last time.
Shuya knew that the last time she came here was to talk to Ji Yushen secretly, she didn't go up, but watched the wind below.
Although this is a remote place and few people come, if someone comes and bumps into it, things will go bad.
Ji Yushen arrived early, and when he saw Shuya looking at the wind below, he subconsciously said, "Are you a palace maid with a clean bottom?" ”
