376 side concubines
Seeing that Concubine Wu was really angry, Wu Qingyue quickly wiped away her tears.
"Mother, that's not what I meant. It's just that the prince is ...... me If it is replaced by Aunt Su, there may be a better chance of winning. ”
Wu Guifei raised her eyebrows.
She is clear about the matter in the backyard of King Lu's mansion, and Zhou Xinghao really values that Su Lanyan more.
It is said that half of the month is always going to Suiboin.
If Su Lanyan is allowed to do it, the odds are indeed greater.
And Su Lanyan is just a small person, if he misses, it's not a big deal.
Wu Guifei commanded a few words in Wu Qingyue's ear.
After Wu Qingyue listened, she sat down for a while and went back to the palace.
When she returned to the palace, she immediately asked Su Lanyan to call over.
Su Lanyan was dressed in a cyan satin robe, with no decoration on her hair except for a hosta, and no fat powder was applied to her face.
Her appearance is more pure than the subordinates who are serving closely by Wu Qingyue's side.
Wu Qingyue frowned and reprimanded: "You are dressed like this, you want others to see it, thinking that I deliberately mistreated you?" ”
Su Lanyan hung her head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The princess misunderstood, the concubine will not go anywhere in Shuifangyuan, let alone see people." Because the people sent by the princess were in a hurry, the concubine didn't dare to delay, so she didn't have time to change her clothes and hurried over. ”
Wu Qingyue let all the people who were waiting in the house go out, leaving only her henchmen.
"It's not me looking for you this time, it's the mother who has something to say to you. The mother concubine has been very troubled recently, would you like to do her a small favor? ”
Su Lanyan sighed in her heart, it must not be a good thing, "The princess said with a smile, what is the concubine?" Where it can help, it is good not to add to the chaos. ”
Wu Qingyue sneered, "Don't be modest, I don't know if the prince handed over some of the properties under his name to you to take care of?" ”
At the mention of this, Wu Qingyue felt sad again and again.
These things should have been solved by her, who is a wife, for Zhou Xinghao, but Zhou Xinghao went over her to trust a concubine.
Fortunately, no one outside knows about this matter, if it spreads, then she will be the laughing stock of the capital.
From small to large, she learned a lot of skills for the position of princess, but now she has not used any of them.
Su Lanyan lowered her head and didn't speak.
Wu Qingyue sighed, put on a gentle look, and pulled Su Lanyan to sit down beside her.
"I don't blame you, you can share the worries and solve problems for the prince, and I am happy in my heart, otherwise the prince is too tired alone. Now the mother concubine asked you to help is just a small favor, if you do it, the mother concubine will allow you to be the side concubine. With this identity, what you want to do in the future is justified. ”
"The position of the side concubine?" Su Lanyan was indeed moved.
Now because of her embarrassing identity, she has to hide everything she does.
Every time Ji Huixin enters the house, she looks like a thief.
If she really becomes a side concubine, then whatever she does is justified, and she doesn't have to be so timid anymore.
She asked, "What does the concubine want me to help with?" ”
Wu Qingyue leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Su Lanyan was surprised, "This...... This is to oppose the prince......"
She kind of understood, why she was looking for her.
Whether this is done or not, it is always thankless.
Maybe it will attract the complete disgust of the prince, Wu Qingyue really made a good calculation.
Su Lanyan wanted to excuse herself.
However, without waiting for her to speak, Wu Qingyue said with a smile: "Sister, do you really think you still have considerations?" I said I asked you for help, but was it really a please? For the sake of our sisters, I'll tell you the truth. If you don't do it well, the concubine won't be able to tolerate you. ”
Su Lanyan's pupils shrank suddenly.
Wu Qingyue patted her hand and reminded softly: "Although this is the Lu Palace, our prince is filial, and the mother insists on letting you go, do you think the prince will disobey your biological mother for you and bear a reputation of unfilial piety?" ”
Su Lanyan let out a cold sweat, and at the same time felt a chill in his heart.
She smiled miserably, "I see." ”
*
When Zhou Xinghao walked out into the courtyard, it was already dark.
Looking down and seeing that the blood stains on his hands had turned black, he frowned and walked forward quickly.
Jin Yong followed behind and asked, "Is the prince still going to Shuifang Courtyard today?" ”
"Hmm."
Jin Yong sighed in his heart, this Aunt Su really has some skills, and she can rival the princess who is the princess of the prince's childhood sweetheart.
All the way into Shuifang Courtyard, Zhou Xinghao went straight to the house to wash his hands, startling Su Lanyan and the others in the house.
As the prince came in, Shuifang Courtyard became busy.
"Lord Wang, let's use some soup." Su Lanyan served a bowl of soup with both hands.
After Zhou Xinghao wiped the water droplets on his hands, he took it and ate it.
Su Lanyan went to the side with great insight.
Zhou Xinghao is like this every time he comes over, Su Lanyan understands that he didn't come because he liked himself, he just wanted to find a place to hide.
After Zhou Xinghao finished drinking the soup, he came over, and when he saw Su Lanyan reading the account book, he said a few words to her about the newly opened restaurant.
I have to say that Su Lanyan does have some talent in business.
She has opened several branches of the pastry shop with her own experience, and she is ready to open the branch outside the capital.
These shops are also equivalent to the eyes of King Lu's mansion.
After talking about business, Zhou Xinghao felt that he had nothing to say, so he went to wash.
After washing, he went straight to the inner room to sleep.
Rose persuaded Su Lanyan: "You should also go and freshen up." ”
Su Lanyan snorted, and after freshening up, he also entered the inner room.
There is no need for anyone to be on duty at night, so Su Lanyan rests on the couch by the window.
Everyone said that the prince favored her, only she knew that the prince was just looking for a place to hide.
She and the prince only talked about business, and there was nothing else to say.
She closed her eyes and waited patiently until late at night.
In the soup for Zhou Xinghao, some more soothing medicinal materials were added, and in the incense burner burning next to the bed, soothing spices were also specially added to it.
Tonight, Zhou Xinghao will definitely sleep extra deeply, and he will not notice anything abnormal.
She carefully lifted the quilt and went down to the ground, went outside and summoned Rose, and whispered: "You go to the princess's side and ask the princess if she wants to eat rice balls." ”
Rose was surprised, "It's this hour, the princess must have rested." ”
Su Lanyan only said: "You just go, don't let people see it, go quickly!" ”
Although Rose was still hesitating, she still went to the princess's side when she heard the words.
She was confused, and at night, she might go to the princess's courtyard and touch a gray nose, which was really a chore.
Su Lanyan watched Rose walk away before tiptoeing back into the house.
As soon as I entered, I found that Zhou Xinghao, who should still be asleep, was sitting on a chair.
