Chapter 16: The Queen's Man
Cuiwei's face suddenly turned ugly.
Shuya watched from the sidelines, and soon understood Su Youyi's question-she was testing Cuiwei.
Cuiwei suddenly realized that Su Youyi had a veil on her face, and she couldn't see the expression on her face at all, so she hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to Aunt Su, the slave maid used to serve in the harem. ”
"Where's the harem?"
Su Youyi didn't give her room to think, and quickly asked her, Cui Wei frowned, telling the truth is not not telling the truth.
If he tells a lie, he will be found out by Su Youyi in the future, which is ironclad evidence of deception, and if he tells the truth, he is afraid that Su Youyi will be suspicious......
"Huh?"
Su Youyi took off the veil on her face and glanced at her, her eyes were not angry and arrogant.
Cuiwei immediately bowed her head, "Aunt Hui, the slave maid used to serve in Changchun I Palace." ”
Changchun I Palace, that is the queen's bedroom.
Su Youyi smiled knowingly.
When people are nervous, they subconsciously answer back to reveal a lot of truths, she deliberately covered her face and asked, Cui Wei saw that she couldn't see her expression, and the tension caused by that question was relieved a lot.
Su Youyi made another turn and pressed step by step, but Cuiwei was even more nervous at this time, revealing her feet.
"I used to serve by the queen's side, no wonder I was so skillful."
She put on a relaxed smile and personally got up to help Cuiwei up, "Look at you, why are you so nervous?" It's a good thing to have served by the queen's side, and you have served the queen and served me, this is my dignity. ”
Cui Wei cautiously looked at her expression, and only felt that this Aunt Su, who had only been in the palace for a few months, could not be regarded as an idle woman.
If she is as innocent and dull as Shuya, and she doesn't know that she has died hundreds of times in the palace, how can she make the eldest prince so important, the emperor blue-eyed, and the ladies in the inner palace all look sideways?
Cuiwei cheered up 120,000 points, "My aunt praised it falsely, the slave maid has only been in Changchun I Palace for a few months, and she is the rough palace maid who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and she has only seen the face of the queen twice." ”
Su Youyi smiled and said nothing, is it useful for her to clear up her relationship with the queen now?
He Fulu stuffed an extra palace maid into her house, violating the rules of the palace just to please her? Su Youyi doesn't feel that her status is up to this point.
Now that I know that Cuiwei is a person from Changchun I Palace, everything is clear.
She smiled faintly and said, "You go out first, keep an eye on the eldest prince's side, and call me when you call for dinner." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
Cuiwei withdrew from the room, and Shuya hurriedly said, "Auntie, do you suspect that she is the person sent by the queen's mother?" But the queen has never summoned her aunt! It is said that it is a person sent by Concubine Xian, and there are some possibilities. ”
Su Youyi smiled, "Silly girl, the book explains that the plank road is darkened by Chen Cang, this is obviously the concubine Xian who wants to cross the plank road, but let others darken Chen Cang." ”
Fortunately, she guarded against Cuiwei from the beginning, and she didn't dare to use it lightly for people whose origin was unknown and who had to be fortified for herself.
Her gaze turned to Shuya, who was scratching her ears and cheeks thinking about her idiom, "Auntie, what plank road and what Chen Cang, the slave doesn't understand, can you explain it to me?" ”
Su Youyi snorted and laughed, "It's me who is not good, I know that you haven't read a book and still talk to you about idioms." Let's change the topic, how much do you know about the queen mother of Changchun I Palace? ”
Although Shuya was a little stupid, she was sent to serve the eldest prince with her at the beginning, and later the two became master and servant, but Su Youyi treated her like a sister.
Most of the palace maids at the bottom of the palace are from poor backgrounds, it's not that the family can't get by, who wants to be a slave?
Su Youyi treated her with affection.
Shuya immediately smiled, "I don't know the idiom, but when it comes to the gossip in the palace, I still know this!" ”
"Oh? Then you say take a look. ”
Shuya said: "The emperor's original partner is the mother of our eldest prince, but unfortunately he died early because he was weak. Originally, the queen of the middle palace wanted to live in Kunning Palace, but after the first queen died of illness, the emperor sealed Kunning Palace, and let the successor live in Changchun I Palace, the most spacious of the six palaces, which shows the unique status of the queen. ”
"Today, the queen mother has not complained at all, and the courtiers dare not say much, that is because the queen mother's background is actually not high. She was the daughter of the first emperor Wang Taifu, the first emperor respected Wang Taifu very much, and then Wang Taifu was gone, and the Wang family had no talents to enter the office, so it declined. ”
Shuya said a lot of things, and there were also things that Su Youyi knew and some things she didn't know.
Su Youyi thought for a while, "Regarding the background of the queen's mother, I think the rumors in the palace will not be false." Have you ever heard rumors about the Queen's wife? ”
"Human?"
Shuya pursed her mouth and thought for a while, "The minions in the palace have the most broken mouths, and sometimes they are full of nonsense, and they don't know if it's true or not." The slave maid only heard that the queen's mother was low-key and dull, unlike the virtuous concubine, who was beautiful and talented, and would please the emperor. However, the queen will still go to Changchun I Palace regularly every month, and the palace people say that it is because the virtuous concubine Niangniang is too high, and the emperor is consolidating the queen's position! ”
Su Youyi scoffed, thinking that the emperor praised Concubine Xian's father Li Gelao with a straight face, and subconsciously felt unhappy.
"If the emperor really wants to consolidate the queen's position and directly open the palace gate of Kunning Palace to let the queen in, wouldn't it be much easier? A man's heart, a needle under the sea. ”
She pressed against the sun and shook her head vigorously, "I'm not going to enter the harem, what are you thinking about?" ”
Shuya pursed her lips and snickered, "Auntie really doesn't want to be a mother?" The slave sees that the emperor likes you very much, last time the emperor blocked the arrow for his aunt, and this time he personally ran to save his aunt, isn't my aunt grateful at all? ”
To say that you are not grateful at all, it is impossible.
Su Youyi held her cheeks and rested her arms on the table, "Last time it was a coincidence, this time...... The emperor is looking at the face of the eldest prince, and it has nothing to do with me. What's more, you can't just make a promise as soon as you are grateful, right? ”
Su Youyi has read men's books since she was a child, and she has not been affected by the male superiority and inferiority of women in her bones, and she has a broader vision and mind than ordinary women who do not read.
Shuya looked at her stupidly, with a look of reverence, "It would be nice if the slave could be as confident as my aunt, aunt, do you know?" What the slave envy most is not that you are born beautiful, but your thoughts, you seem to think that you are losing money by being a concubine to the emperor, this is the idea of a fairy, right? ”
Her eyes were sparkling, filled with the starry sky she had seen on the haystack as a child.
Su Youyi was embarrassed by her, "What a fairy, I'm just a village girl, I want to live a peaceful life......"
