Chapter 134: Soft-hearted
Su Chen just looked at Xiao Shi like this, for a long time, she laughed at herself: "In the end, I am still soft-hearted, innocent and kind." β
Xiao knelt on the ground: "Concubine Xian, the concubine has no intention of concealing it, there is really a reason for it." β
Su Chen stretched out his hand to help her and sat on the low couch: "I don't like people to kneel, it's good to sit and talk, I'll eat here with you this morning." β
Xiao Shi wanted to earn back, but he didn't dare, so he said half-unearningly: "This is not in accordance with the rules." β
Su Chen smiled: "Do you know what the hundred officials impeached me?" Rules are one of the first things, but what are the rules? As long as it's reasonable. β
Xiao Shi opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You came to me, but is there something?" β
Of course, Su Chen came here because of something, and she didn't want to detour, so she said directly: "Seriously, I really yearn for your life, you follow Xiao Li, I will fulfill you, the condition is that the Liao Dynasty will surrender, and the county will be a city, no longer a country." β
Xiao Shi was really frightened, his face turned white for a moment, and he hurriedly broke away from her hand and knelt at her feet: "Niangniang, the concubine is the emperor's concubine, one day as a concubine, never change, don't do this to me!" β
"Don't you dare?" Su Chen felt funny: "He loves you so much, for you, from a slave to a general, reading and writing, knowing the truth, in the end, you are the prince, and for you to break into the imperial city alone, you are the emperor's concubine and sent him away?" Is his love too cheap, or is your feelings so cheap? β
"Niangniang......" Xiao's heart sank, his face was pale, he couldn't say anything, he couldn't say anything, he could only look at her tremblingly, hoping that she wouldn't block the road.
Su Chen said: "That's it, you have your own decision, I just suggest that since you have this in mind, then Xiao Li can't live." β
Xiao Shi slammed his head on the ground: "Niangniang, I beg Niangniang, save Xiao Li, he didn't mean to, he was just confused for a while, you save him, don't let him die, please......"
Su Chen took out a bottle of pills and gave it to her: "Very good, if you eat this, I will save him." β
Xiao Shi looked at the finger-sized medicine bottle, stunned, after all, he couldn't kneel anymore, and squatted on the ground: "Is this a life for a life?" Niangniang really planned it, not to choose the concubine, you know that the concubine is greedy, and deliberately let the concubine choose, ha, hahaha......"
She laughed, the more she laughed, the louder she laughed, tears flowed, I don't know what it was like in her heart, she grabbed the bottle violently, poured it into her mouth, and finally threw the bottle out vigorously, paused for less than two breaths, grabbed her neck with her backhand, and looked unwilling.
Su Chen got up indifferently: "Don't worry, you will be buried in the concubine's mausoleum when you die, since you said that life and death are his people, how can I not fulfill you?" I'm going to be perfect, too. β
Xiao tried to speak, but she couldn't speak, and even her breath was about to leave her.
-
Concubine Xiao leaned peacefully in the soft sedan chair, and the soft sedan stopped at the gate of the palace.
Su Chen held Er Qiao's hand, stood idle, and watched Xiao Li follow the little eunuch over, she was silently relieved.
raised his voice and said: "She begged me before she died, one life for another, she died and you left, I don't think I am infatuated, and I will fulfill you, take her away." β
Xiao Li looked at her coldly: "I won't be grateful to you." β
"You don't have to be grateful." Su Chen smiled, and his voice suddenly lowered: "There are only eight hours of medicinal effect, and now three hours have passed." β
Xiao Li's expression moved, wanting to show something, Su Chen said again: "I will explain to the emperor, the guards have also been transferred, and the time in this palace is limited." β
Xiao Li took Xiao out of the soft sedan chair, walked firmly, and left quickly.
Su Chen stood still and stood for a long time.
The sun is rising, and autumn is hot.
Er Qiao looked at her expression and whispered, "Niangniang, they are already gone." β
She actually wanted to say that it had been a long time.
"Do you know what Concubine Xiao's name is?" Su Chen curled the corners of her lips slightly: "She came to Dacang, deliberately gave her Chinese name, called Xiao Liangyuan, on the first day she came, she made a poem for the emperor, and she was very pleasing to people, but she was not born enough, the emperor didn't look at her, she had done a lot of things, but the emperor only had me in his heart, and he couldn't tolerate her, do you think I was ruthless?" β
Er Qiao echoed: "Niangniang is for her good, you have always been soft-hearted, why do you say it ruthlessly?" β
"You don't have to coax me," Su Chen smiled: "It's not early, let's go back, I've been busy all this time, I haven't been to kindergarten, go over there today to see, has the eldest princess begun to enlighten?" β
"Niangniang, since you are going, don't be embarrassed for the slave, what you said, the slave doesn't know." Er Qiao saw that she was in a good mood, so he smiled deliberately.
The two just talked, all the way to the kindergarten.
There are laughter and laughter in it, the baby's laughter is innocent, it sounds very infectious, Su Chen came in, and saw Zhao Ning reading poetry, like a decent look, and the people around him looked at it happily.
At first glance, when they saw Su Chen coming in, they saluted one after another.
Su Chen immediately said: "Excuse me, you have such a good atmosphere, but I interrupted, you continue, I'll take a look and leave." β
"Virtuous Mother Ann." Zhao Ning held the book and saluted her: "Concubine Xian can come today, An Ning is very happy." β
"You have grown up, you are very sensible, you look at the things here, what is lacking and what is missing, go directly to the Department of Internal Affairs." Su Chen reached out and touched her head, which was soft, which was the unique hair of young children: "I will hand over this place to you, which is also reassuring." β
"Don't worry, Concubine Xian, An Ning will take care of her younger brothers and sisters." Zhao Ning knows the benefits of power and does not shirk at all.
Su Chen is making the best use of everything, since Zhao Ning has this ability, then Zhao Ning will naturally do his best to manage these things.
Su Chen asked about the daily life and diet of the princess and princess, and the nurses took care of them very reasonably, she didn't do much, just left the calendar.
She formulated a cycle system, after all, there are no weeks and only months in this era, but she still pushes forward, from the time she is in, to the current week, it takes her a lot of effort, but these hundreds of years of calendars are available.
The lunar calendar is ready-made, just put it in, the date and festival or something, there is no shortage, she made a few sets by hand, and the palace is not enough, ready to be printed at the end of the year, and sell a handful.
Thinking like this, she remembered Liu's family, Liu's only sends the account book every month, and she hasn't talked about it for a long time, just thinking about it, Zhou Yueqing is here.
"You, a virtuous concubine, are busier than me, where are you free?" As soon as she came in, she sneered: "Last time, you didn't even have time to see the princess, this time, you are always free, right?" β
Su Chen burned tea: "She's just asking for peace, this court, who doesn't know that I don't pay attention to the rules, please be safe or something, excuse me." β
"People are courtesy, and there is a little intention to cooperate, if you don't nod, I don't dare to agree." Zhou Yueqing said, sitting opposite: "Please come over Princess Lian." β
Already here? Su Chen grinned: "You only told me when you came, it's insincere." β
"My sister, you have the biggest fat powder shop in the world, even I am red-eyed, you always score me a little bit for this good thing, right? Even the matter of Princess Zhang Luo is also my favorite. β
"I know that a newly crowned king, there is no reason to deliberately befriend me, and I am too tired these days to take care of these, thank you for leaving me a place." Su Chen smiled and made tea: "Taste, new tea this summer." β
"It's still your craftsmanship that has raised my mouth, and now I can't drink the tea made by the palace maids around me." Zhou Yueqing took the cup, sniffed it first, and then praised it.
Su Chen directly pinched a snack for her: "Don't say it, I can't hear you say this." β
Even the princess was brought in at this time, she heard the two laughing, but she still didn't dare to raise her head, and bowed down: "Say hello to Concubine Shu, please say hello to Concubine Xian, concubine Fang, this is polite." β
What Fang said was polite, it was really polite, the red lacquered wooden box, the jewelry and medicinal materials inside, were unusual.
"Even the princess is so polite, speaking of which, this palace and the concubine are not queens, I can't call you a brother and sister, you give gifts like this, I will put it away." Su Chen smiled and handed her tea: "The princess, please come forward, in the end, it is considered a concubine, and it is common to sit and drink tea together." β
Fang had long heard of this style of acting, although she had never dealt with it, but she had experienced a lot of truth and falsehood in the palace, so she stepped forward and took Su Chen's tea.
Zhou Yueqing said with a smile: "The princess doesn't need to be restrained, the virtuous concubine is this kind of character, straightforward and heroic, and very happy." β
"Yes, Concubine Shu said it before, and the concubine remembers." Fang Shi accompanied the smiling face: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is transparent, has a good temperament, and has a high vision, which is well known. β
"Is this a compliment to me?" Su Chen smiled: "The princess doesn't have to be so polite, I heard Qing'er say, do you want to do business?" β
This is straightforward, Fang Shi couldn't accept it a little, she hurriedly replied: "Yes, the concubine has a little idea, and she also has a little spare money." β
Su Chen nodded: "Then since you have passed it to the palace, you also specially let me know, don't talk about it, how many percent are you going to give me and Qing'er?" β
Fang: "This ...... What we discussed was, four or six points. β
Su Chen: "Four or six points, can there be any points for me?" β
Fang: "...... Yes. β
Fang's answer lacked confidence, but at least it was a slight hesitation.
Su Chen glanced at Zhou Yueqing: "You have no objection?" If you divide me, you won't get much. β
Zhou Yueqing said with a smile: "It's okay to give it to you, I don't need anything on my side." β
Su Chen: "I think you have to use more places than me." β
Zhou Yueqing: "What you do is a big thing, and you have to use everything that should be used." β
The two of them were complimenting each other, and the Fang clan was dumbfoundedβwhat should she say? She finished everything and gave them the money for nothing, she took sixty percent very little, after all, she was all responsible for the top and bottom, do you want her to take another twenty percent? She didn't want to, so she hesitated.
Su Chen waved his hand: "Okay, I know that you are protecting her, I have no opinion, since I have expressed sincerity, then I will also give you something, Er Qiao, bring the wooden box on the dresser." β
She was not stingy at all, and directly gave her all the clothes design drawings and shoe samples she had drawn before, about a dozen.
Su Chen flipped through it first, then sorted it out, and handed it to her: "These are all my clothes, the gimmick is enough, you can take it." β
Fang's was taken aback: "Xian, Xian Concubine Niangniang......"
"You have come to me and said it, I should always show it, I am a straight person, I won't go around the corner, what do you think, just say it, otherwise I can't understand your hidden meaning." Su Chen put the pattern in front of her, asked Er Qiao to put it back, picked up the teacup, felt the cold, and made a new cup.
Fang didn't know what he meant, and looked at Zhou Yueqing.
Su Chen saw her expression and said directly: "Concubine Shu means the same as me, you don't have to look at it." I don't have anything else to do here, and if you still have it, let's hear about it as well. β
These words were a send-off, and the Fang clan knew each other very well, so he immediately retired.
Zhou Yueqing got up to send him off, but Su Chen didn't move at all, still pouring tea.
