307: Misstep, Misstep

Aunt She followed Su Chaoyan to the courtyard where they lived. Tu Sijing was a concubine and the third eldest son in the family. Of course, his courtyard was not as good as that of the eldest son or the second son. The location was a little more remote. Fortunately, the courtyard did not count. It's small, but it's well-kept and quiet and elegant.

After entering the house, Su Chaoyan first asked Nanny She about the sixth sister. After knowing that the sixth sister was safe, she breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Mammy, the sixth sister didn't go to Daling Temple, right?"

Aunt She smiled and did not say whether it was true, but Su Chaoyan knew it well and said softly: "When Sixth Sister said she was going to Daling Temple to pray for His Highness, I felt something was wrong, and many people from the Tu family came to inquire with me. , I said I didn’t know and blocked it. After I went back, I told the sixth sister to pay attention to herself. "

Aunt She smiled and nodded, "Third Miss, how are you doing at the Tu family? The Crown Princess was very concerned about it. This time, a letter came from the Duke's Mansion in the East Palace, and she immediately asked the old slave to come and visit. If not The Crown Princess was afraid that she would cause trouble to you, so she came to take a look in person. "

Su Chaoyan smiled. Xiaoliu said he would protect her at first, and now he is indeed protecting her. Knowing that she was afraid that her husband's family would be unhappy after giving birth to a daughter, how could she not understand that he supported her with both big and small gifts?

It happened that Hemerocallis came in with tea at this time. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Mommy, you don't know that our girl gave birth to Sister Min. My wife and uncle didn't say anything, but the eldest mistress and the second mistress kept the secret. There were a few words outside, but the lady said a few words, and the two of them didn't dare to say anything. "

When Grandma She heard this, she looked at the third girl.

Su Chaoyan knew that Nanny She wanted to ask questions so that she could tell Sixth Sister when she returned, so she said softly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that my husband is hard-working and hard-working. When the two families got engaged, no one knew that Sixth Sister could become the Crown Princess. , so after we got married, the two sisters-in-law were inevitably a little uncomfortable, fearing that our third wife would overwhelm them. However, my mother-in-law is a fair person, and my father-in-law also knows what is right and wrong, so my child and I will not be wronged, which reassures my sixth sister. "

Su Chaoyan knew that the royal family was not easy to get into, and the sixth sister's life in the palace might not be smooth. As an elder sister, she could not help with anything, so she could only try not to hold the sixth sister back.

If it was her temperament, she would tolerate these little things as long as she could, but when the two sisters-in-law went too far, she would straighten her back and fight back.

Mother said that she was soft-tempered, but she could not lose the face of the Duke's palace and her sixth sister. Although she was a little scared, after fighting once, she found that her mother-in-law was fair, and her husband also supported her. I gradually became more courageous.

Thinking of this, Su Chaoyan smiled at Nanny She again and said: "Fourth sister and fifth sister were also afraid that I would be wronged, so they came to see me specially. Sixth sister has a high status and cannot go out easily. Auntie must have told sixth sister that I am very important." OK, let her not worry."

Aunt She saw that the third girl looked really good, so she said softly: "The Crown Princess is now in the royal family and her every move is attracting attention. It is not easy to come to visit her. When the cousin is older, the Crown Princess will invite her to the East Palace. Be a guest."

Su Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She understood what the sixth sister meant. Being able to step through the door of the East Palace, among a group of sisters-in-law in the Tu family, she was naturally the top one. No one dared to look down on her.

Mother She went to see her cousin again. She was a small ball sleeping soundly. Her face was white and tender, and her eyebrows were straight. Fortunately, she didn't look like her father and mother. If she looked like her father, she was a dark ball. How can I find my husband's family in the future?

Grandma She praised her cousin again and again, then stood up and left.

In the main room of the Tu family, Mrs. Tu rubbed her forehead, looked at her confidant Grandma Sun, and said, "I didn't expect that the Crown Princess would have people come to visit the third family as soon as she returned to the East Palace. I usually heard that the sixth girl brought back by the Duke's Mansion and her family were I didn’t quite believe the close relationship between the sisters, but now it seems a bit believable.”

Grandma Sun had served Madam since she was a little girl, and later she got married and came back to work as a housekeeper. She could not be more loyal to her Madam, so she smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, Madam, you are not kind to Third Young Mistress. The eldest mistress and the second young mistress are the same. You raised the third young master by yourself, and the third young master is the most filial to you. Besides, the third young mistress is really good-tempered, and she will definitely not be able to pick on you."

Mrs. Tu smiled when she heard this and said, "Aunt Zhang was a little girl by my side back then. Later I became my aunt. She was an honest woman, but her life was not good. Naturally, I have to take care of her children. , The third child has no other problems except that he talks a little less."

When Grandma Sun heard this, she smiled and said: "The third young master, despite being a talker, is also considerate to the third young lady. The third young lady was born white and tender. I saw that the third young master liked it very much. Last time when the old slave came over, he was very considerate." Look at the third young master holding her. Don’t worry. The third young master won’t take a concubine when the third young master is pregnant. The young couple have a good relationship, so what do you have to worry about? "

Mrs. Tu sighed softly when she heard this, "Let's talk about it later."

The relationship between the couple was good when they were young, but as they got older, it became difficult to say that. Behind the Su family was the Duke of Qi and the Crown Princess. She only hoped that her daughter-in-law would give birth to a son next time. Even if the third child wears red sleeves and adds fragrance, he won't make a fuss.

Who would have thought that the Duke of Qi would have a princess. If he had known about it earlier, the relationship might not have ended.

Others think that their family has climbed onto a high branch, but she thinks that Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, and it may not be a good thing. Let's wait and see.

On the other side, Grandma She returned to the East Palace and explained the situation in detail.

After listening to this, Su Xinyi smiled and said, "I thought my third brother-in-law was kind at first, and now I think I was right."

Madame She smiled and said, "My third brother-in-law is a concubine's son. Although Mrs. Tu treats him well, he can't be compared with a biological son. Fortunately, my third brother-in-law works hard. After a few years, he will stand more and more firmly, and my third lady's life will be better."

No matter how much the Crown Princess supports her sister, it is not as good as my third lady's family working hard.

Su Xinyi naturally understood what Madame She meant, so she smiled and nodded, "Madame is right."

She understood this truth, it is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else.

Su Xinyi felt relieved when she knew that her third sister was living a good life. The next day, she did not bring Madame She with her, but took Cuique to Yuanhui Palace to pay respects to the Queen and learn about palace affairs.

Madame She went to inquire about the affairs of Yuling Temple and Prince Xiang's Mansion.

In Yuanhui Palace, Su Xinyi sat aside with a smile on her face, watching the empress and the concubines in the harem fighting. Everyone was smiling, but every word they said was full of thorns.

As a junior, Su Xinyi just had to keep smiling.

However, Li Guifei just disliked her and tried to test her with the matter of her leaving the palace.

"The Crown Princess has lived in Daling Temple for so long, and her complexion looks rosier than before." After Li Guifei had a trick with the empress, she set her eyes on Su Xinyi.

She didn't believe that Su Xinyi would go to Daling Temple to pray for blessings. She also sent people to Daling Temple to inquire, but it was a pity that Zhang Jian was guarding it tightly and nothing was found out.

Su Xinyi looked at Concubine Li after hearing this, "Your Highness, I can't take your words seriously. My clothes are much looser this time. My mother is so distressed that she even asked the clothing manager to go to the East Palace to tailor new clothes for me."

The Queen didn't say this, but Su Xinyi used her to challenge Concubine Li. The two of them were on the same side now, so naturally they wouldn't ruin her show. She said with a straight face, "Concubine Li, look at how thin the Crown Princess's face is, and look at how the clothes are shaking on her. Even if you are nitpicking, you have to pick a decent one, right?"

Su Xinyi thought to herself, no wonder Nanny She picked the loosest clothes for her today. It's true that the old ones are the best. Nanny is amazing.

Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming kept their mouths shut and just lowered their heads to drink tea. They were determined not to get involved. Other concubines of lower status were not qualified to pay respects to the Queen. The palace looked lively, but there were not many people in it.

The emperor is a stingy person. He doesn't give high positions easily, nor does he change people easily. After so many years, the concubines with high positions in the harem are still the same few faces.

After hearing the queen's words, Concubine Li sneered, "Queen, you are really hurt by the Crown Princess now."

That's what she said, but the tone was a little sarcastic.

After all, everyone knows that the queen is the successor, and how deep can the mother-in-law's affection for the Crown Princess be as fragile as a paper shell.

Su Xinyi looked at Concubine Li and said seriously, "What Concubine said is true. I always remember the kindness of my mother to me and dare not forget it at all. Speaking of which, when we came back from Ding'an Guard, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang brought back Miss Fuyun and asked me to take care of her more on the way. His Royal Highness Prince Xiang treated Miss Fuyun, his lifesaver, so well, I think Concubine must also like and value her very much."

Isn't it disgusting?

Who doesn't know it?

Everyone knows that Concubine Li hates Fu Yun, so Su Xinyi specifically points out Fu Yun's life-saving grace to the King of Xiang. Concubine Li's harsh treatment of her is heartless and ungrateful, as she has saved her son.

Concubine Li's face froze, and the Queen felt very happy when she heard it. At this moment, she really liked Su Xinyi. As long as Su Xinyi didn't argue with her, she would be relieved.

"The Crown Princess is kind-hearted. You still remember what the King of Xiang said. Speaking of which, I am also very curious about Miss Fu Yun. When the King of Xiang has time, bring her in to see her. After all, she is the life-saving benefactor of the King of Xiang. I am the Queen of Xiang after all, so I have to reward the girl well."

The Queen was very disappointed. Why didn't he think of it at the beginning? If he wanted to disgust Concubine Li, he should have given Fu Yun a good face. Didn't Concubine Li dislike Fu Yun?

She just promoted her. It was a mistake, a mistake. Why didn't she think of it?

Sure enough, Su Xinyi's brain is good. She hit the snake at its weakest point. Why didn't she think of it? Fortunately, it's not too late now.

Concubine Li was so angry at the Queen and the Crown Princess that she couldn't stand it anymore. She immediately stood up and left, and her sleeves were waving with the wind when she left.

Concubine Ruan Ming and Concubine Qi also stood up and left. The Queen didn't make things difficult for them. She waved her hand and let them go.

After leaving Yuanhui Palace, Concubine Qi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Concubine Ruan Ming and whispered: "What do you think is going on between the Queen and the Crown Princess? Why do I think it's not right?"

Concubine Ruan Ming naturally saw it. It was obviously the Queen and the Crown Princess who joined forces.

In the past, the Crown Prince was alone, and he, as a crown prince, naturally couldn't get involved in the affairs of the harem, but now that he has married a wife and a Crown Princess, it's different.

Before, the Queen and the Crown Princess obviously didn’t get along well, but now…

Recalling that this time when the Crown Princess went to Daling Temple to pray for the Crown Prince, the Queen not only agreed with this matter, but also praised the Crown Princess for this action many times in the harem…

The two looked at each other, and for a moment they didn’t know what to say.

Ruan Mingfei didn’t want to talk about these things with Qi Xianfei either. She was a little panicked. If the Queen really joined forces with the East Palace, the balance of the harem would be broken at once.

Didn’t the Queen always want to push her son to the throne of the crown prince? Why would she join forces with the Crown Princess now?

Qi Xianfei also felt a little uncomfortable, looking at Ruan Mingfei and said: "No matter what, we just live our own lives, sister Mingfei, I will go first."

Ruan Mingfei smiled gently, "Sister Xianfei, take care."

Qi Xianfei walked back to her Zhaoyang Palace with a light and steady pace. After returning, she asked her confidant to call her son into the palace.

King Jing happened to have an errand to do, so he entered the palace after half a day.

As soon as Concubine Qi saw her son, she quickly told him what happened today and said in a deep voice: "What do you think will happen if the Queen and the Crown Princess really join forces?"

King Jing looked at his mother with a frown on her face and said indifferently: "Just do what you did before. Concubine Li will definitely not give up. Don't get involved. You are not close to the East Palace. The Queen and Prince Rong are not easy to provoke. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

After hearing her son's words, Concubine Qi was a little unconvinced. They were all His Majesty's sons, but His Majesty was so biased that she dared not get angry.

The Crown Prince sat on the throne of the Crown Prince at a young age, and Prince Rong was His Majesty's favorite. Prince Xiang was protected by Concubine Li, the favored mother. In comparison, his son was not outstanding in talent and learning, and was not valued and loved by His Majesty. The father-son relationship was ordinary, and he had no foundation and ability to fight.

Concubine Qi was a little frustrated. She looked at her son and said, "You are right. We will not help each other and live our own lives." After a pause, "What do you think Concubine Ming and King Wu will choose?"

King Jing updated, "Third brother's temper is like a dull donkey. Who knows what he thinks, but Concubine Ming is not a troublemaker. I guess she is similar to us."

Concubine Qi sighed again, "I heard that His Majesty wants the Crown Princess to help the Queen share the palace affairs. The Queen, who is so domineering, actually agreed. This is really strange."

King Jing was stunned, "Father asked the Crown Princess to share the palace affairs?"

Concubine Qi nodded slightly, "What did the Queen say today? I am afraid that this harem will be unstable."
