Su Yueling took a look at Xie Yunzi's favorability score for her... As someone she met for the first time, her favorability score was quite high, at thirty points.
Is she thinking too much? Or is her intuition malfunctioning this time?
After Su Yueling thought for a while, she decided not to think about it for now. They couldn't stay in Xinzhou for many days this time, six days at most.
After letting go of this idea, she began to appreciate Xie Yunzi more leisurely. She could see that Xie Yunzi's reputation for liking flowers and plants was not deliberately cultivated. She really liked them, and looking at her actions, she was indeed doing it.
She was used to farming, so she did all the weeding and watering herself. Su Yueling even saw her throwing the bugs into the bucket without changing her expression. She knew where the cocoons in Xie Yunzi's hands came from, and they were really hard at work.
Su Yueling can't do this herself, but that doesn't stop her from admiring those who can really do it.
There are many girls from aristocratic families in the capital, but Su Yueling has never seen Xie Yunzi's style. Her indifferent temperament makes her different from those girls from aristocratic families who are like carefully crafted works of art.
After Su Yueling drank a cup of tea, Xie Yunzi's work was mostly done.
She also picked a handful of flowers and walked to Su Yueling, "A gift."
Su Yueling accepted the gift and said, "Thank you very much."
Then Biyu helped her hold the flowers to prevent the branches and leaves from getting stuck into Su Yueling.
Su Yueling had already seen him, and her curiosity was satisfied, so she didn't stay too long and left quickly.
Xie Yunzi watched Su Yueling leave. After a while, the corners of her lips slowly curved in pleasure.
She was confident, and Su Yueling should admire her. It could be seen from her eyes and demeanor. Su Yueling was just as she imagined. She did not reject competition just because she was a woman, but was willing to appreciate the advantages of others.
.
If she plans to take that path, Su Yueling shouldn't stand in her way, and that's enough.
What she wants is not to stop her. If she can get her help, it will be an unexpected surprise.
As if she remembered something, the smile on her face faded.
Xie Yunzi only hated that she was not a man, and that this woman's body constrained her. Even though she was more talented and beautiful than most men in the world, she still could not achieve success and had to rely on them. She was unwilling to admit defeat, so she wanted to
Forge a new path in your own way.
…
Su Yueling returned to her house in Xinzhou and asked people to place those flowers in the room. Xie Yunzi is quite aesthetic. The flowers are just right, and the floral fragrance does not look messy, but has a fresh and pleasant feeling.
.
Not long after she rested, the Yang family sent an invitation. Along with the invitation were two paintings and calligraphy by the calligrapher, which can be said to be worth thousands of gold.
Su Yueling knew that this was probably because Yang Wang was still worried after returning home, so she sent it as an apology.
Her expression remained unchanged and she said: "Let them go back."
If she had any grudges, she would report them on the spot and fight them back, so she would not inflict additional insults on the Yang and Wang family unless the other party continued to offend her. But she also did not want to have anything to do with the Yang family and the Wang family. These wealthy families were competing against each other.
They have too many minds, and dealing with them takes too much effort. Su Yueling doesn't like it.
With her current status, if she wanted to be willful, no one would dare to accuse her.
In fact, after being rejected, the steward of the Yang family who personally sent the apology just bowed respectfully and left without any intention of further entanglement.
In the next few days, Su Yueling occasionally visited other places in Xinzhou, but she did not go to Xie Yunzi's Taoist temple again.
Xie Yunzi has always been peaceful and contented.
Queen Gu also asked Su Yueling what she thought of Xie Yunzi, and Su Yueling answered truthfully.
Queen Gu told Su Yueling something, "Mrs. Zi took the initiative to contribute her iron-making method to the emperor. The iron-making method in her hands is better than that of the imperial court, and the iron she produces is harder."
"She even gave several iron ore sites controlled by the Xie family to the court."
Su Yueling was surprised, "Does the Xie family know?"
Whether it is the iron smelting method or the iron ore, they are the core secrets of the Xie family, and they are also the foundation of the Xie family. How could the Xie family obediently give such good things to the court?
Queen Gu lowered her eyes and shook her head, "If the Xie family knew that Xie Yunzi had these things, I'm afraid Xie Yunzi wouldn't survive until now."
"Six months ago, Xie Yunzi's biological mother passed away, and her father got married within a hundred days."
Su Yueling looked at Queen Gu, "Do you think she is separated from her family because of this? What does she want?"
What Xie Yunzi did was a naked betrayal to the Xie family. If the Xie family knew the truth, even if she was the legitimate daughter of the family, they would not easily spare her life.
Having stayed in this era for a long time and having dealt with many powerful families, Su Yueling knew that for these families, interests were the most important thing.
Queen Gu's expression became complicated, "She wants to become the emperor's concubine, and she wants to use this status as her amulet."
Su Yueling thought of the leisurely and elegant Xie Yunzi, and there was confusion in her eyes. Xie Yunzi actually wanted to be the emperor's concubine? The Xie family was one of the four great aristocratic families and had always been proud. When the country was founded, the daughter of the Xie family even disdained it
Marriage with the Daxia royal family.
What is she thinking about.
With Queen Gu here, she will be a concubine until she dies, and will never become a queen. Once she enters the harem, she will no longer be able to live her current peaceful life. Moreover, the Xie family will also regard her as a great shame and humiliation, and may even have her
Removed.
She might as well take advantage of this merit and ask the royal family to knight her.
Su Yueling felt that she could not understand Xie Yunzi more and more.
"Is this confirmed?"
Queen Gu nodded, "If she enters the palace, considering her family and merits, she will be the concubine at the lowest level."
It's not that Su Yueling can't understand that even if Xie Yunzi is remarried, as the daughter of the Xie family, if her status is lowered, the Xie family will definitely not tolerate it. Secondly, what Xie Yunzi took out was changed to a concubine.
It's the royal family's blood. If she enters the palace, Queen Gu will be the most threatened. After all, Xie Yunzi's family background is much better than Queen Gu's.
Hey, as a queen, there are always many things you can't help yourself.
However, there was no trace of reluctance on Queen Gu's face. She was still gentle and virtuous. "She has made such great contributions to the court. After entering the palace, I should take good care of her."
Su Yueling served tea and asked: "When will the imperial edict be issued?"
Empress Gu said: "The transaction between Xie and the emperor cannot be put on the table, let alone leaked. Therefore, the emperor plans to reward her for saving her."
The corner of Su Yueling's mouth twitched: Why does the emperor always use this trick!
If this continues, rescue vehicles will be ruined on the streets.
