Chapter 229: The Day Comes
She was not angry in her heart, the emperor hadn't said that he would give the eldest prince to Su Youyi to raise, why did she go to the Qianqing Palace like the queen and Yan Concubine and talk like the mother of the eldest prince?
Even if it's Concubine Hui's turn, it won't be Su Youyi's turn!
Thinking like this in her heart, in the end, she still hoped that the emperor could raise the eldest prince for her, so she listened to Concubine Yan and said: "Jiang Guiren, if you are taking the eldest prince, what will you do?" ”
"Me?"
Jiang Guiren was a little surprised that Concubine Yan would actually ask her this question.
She thought for a while and said, "I naturally want to defend the eldest prince." The eldest prince's intentions were good, but it was obviously the second prince who provoked the trouble first, how could he blame the eldest prince? ”
After Jiang Guiren finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had lost his words.
The second prince is now the adopted son of Yan Concubine, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, she said in front of Yan Concubine that the second prince is not, Yan Concubine won't think she did it on purpose, right?
She carefully looked at Concubine Yan's expression, not wanting Concubine Yan not only to not be angry, but to smile.
"yes, you're right. The second prince should be punished for this matter, and the eldest prince is right. ”
Concubine Yan still had a smile on her face when she spoke, and she was not annoyed when she looked at Jiang Guiren, only a trace of pity.
She finally understood why the emperor let the eldest prince's cousin not let him get close, but chose Su Youyi.
The emperor is really discerning.
……
The turmoil of the three princes fighting has just passed, at least on the surface.
Behind the scenes, the queen ordered someone to deduct the second prince's use, and Su Youyi was quite surprised when she saw it when she checked the account books of the Internal Affairs Office.
It seems that the queen is still holding grudges for the third prince being pushed.
An adult is still a mother-in-law, and holding a grudge against a child, which is a bit too calculating.
Su Youyi didn't want to bring it up in person, so she asked the eldest prince about the situation of the second prince in private, but the eldest prince didn't pay much attention to it, only saying that it was rare to see the second prince wearing new clothes recently.
That's it.
In the cold winter season, on this day, she came out of the queen's palace, and Su Youyi specially invited Concubine Yan to her palace to talk.
The earth dragon of Yongshou Palace is as warm as spring, and it is also inlaid with warm jade, there are many rumors in the palace about this matter, and Yan Concubine has long wanted to try it, but naturally it is disrespectful.
When she arrived at Yongshou Palace, Concubine Yan stepped on the white jade like Su Youyi usually did, and said happily while stepping on it: "This jade is warm, it's really comfortable to step on the soles of your feet." My sister will enjoy it when she is alive, and the emperor is too willing to spend money on you! ”
Su Youyi sat on the couch and picked up the teacup, and when she heard it, she said, "Sister Yan, do you still have the heart to tease me?" Don't you know anything about the second prince recently? ”
Concubine Yan still stepped on the white jade and turned her head to look at her, "What's the matter?" Oh, you mean the queen deducted his use, right? ”
Concubine Yan really knew.
Su Youyi didn't speak again, and Concubine Yan reluctantly put on her shoes and socks, walked over to her and sat on the couch, "I'm not nervous as an adoptive mother, what's the matter, are you nervous for the second prince?" ”
Su Youyi said: "Not really, no matter how much the queen holds grudges, she won't take the life of the second prince, right?" I just think it's unfair for the queen to be so calculating with a child, after all, it's common for children to fight. ”
Concubine Yan smiled, "Who said it wasn't?" But you also said that it will not cost the life of the second prince. After all, I don't have any feelings for this child, as long as the queen doesn't go too far, I naturally have no reason to object. Now that the Li family in the harem is gone, Concubine Fang has also become a nobleman, and the queen's family is dominant, who dares to offend her? ”
That's right.
Su Youyi obviously saw the deduction from the accounts, but she didn't dare to mention it openly, she didn't want to offend the queen more than Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan at least has her father and brother who are officials in the court, what does she have?
I didn't want Concubine Yan to look at her for a while, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the only person in the palace who can compete with the queen is you." But you are a good person, you have always respected the queen, isn't the queen unscrupulous if no one can compete with her? ”
"Me?"
Su Youyi smiled and shook her head, "What is Sister Yan kidding me?" I don't have anything but being pampered. It's me, it's better to say it's you, you at least have a net worth background and the adopted son of the second prince, what do I have? ”
Yan Concubine said: "I don't think so. I think the emperor will hand over the eldest prince to you to raise sooner or later, the background and heirs in this harem are not so important in the final analysis, the most important thing is pampering. Look at the Li family, no matter how much background there is an heir, once the child dies, it will become someone else's, has the emperor ever cared about it? Therefore, it is still the most important thing to pamper. But ......"
"But what?"
"But I think that even if you respect the queen with all your heart, the queen will use you as a raft sooner or later. Maybe it's when you're promoted to a concubine, maybe it's when the emperor gives you the eldest prince, or maybe it's when you're pregnant......"
She is now an assistant harem as a concubine, and the queen is not suspicious of her, but she has always been respectful, but when the power goes further, no matter how respectful she is, the queen will not tolerate it.
Su Youyi smiled, "Sister Yan, do you really think that the queen trusts me very much?" It's not so much that the queen trusts me, but that she has no one in the harem to trust me. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Su Youyi pursed her lips and smiled, got up and walked to the window, opened the window slightly, and Yan Concubine stepped forward to take a look.
I saw a palace maid standing in the courtyard who was quite exquisitely dressed, and from the perspective of dress, her status in Yongshou Palace was probably second only to that of the palace maid Shuya.
Su Youyi said: "Her name is Cuiwei. ”
"Cuiwei?"
"It's Emerald shaking that Emerald."
Concubine Yan was stunned for a moment, "What is the relationship between this Cuiwei and the henchman Cuiyao beside the queen's mother?" ”
"It's the kind of relationship my sister can imagine."
Su Youyi closed the window as she said and looked at Concubine Yan, "This person has been sent by the queen since I was a palace maid in the East Fourth Academy, and he has been monitoring me. If the queen really trusts me, why hasn't she said that Cuiwei is her person until now? In fact, when I had an affair with the emperor some time ago, the queen also ordered someone to send her to inquire about the news. ”
Concubine Yan never thought of such a thing.
It is normal for the harem concubines to have each other's spies around them, but most of them are just rough palace maids who sweep and can't touch the core of the matter.
...... like Cuiwei It can be seen that the queen is attentive.
Yan Concubine said: "Then you let her always be by your side to make a deaf report?" Don't think of a way to get rid of her. ”
Su Youyi smiled, "It's okay, Cuiwei has already rebelled." Maybe she felt that it was more profitable to be by my side than to be loyal to the Empress, or maybe she had been loyal to me for a long time in the Eternal Longevity Palace. Anyway, the last time the queen sent her to inquire about the news, she didn't tell the truth, and told me everything afterwards. ”
Concubine Yan's eyes lit up, "That's a good dare!" The spies sent by the queen have become your people, so won't you be able to use her in the future......"
