Duan Hua asked the housekeeper to prepare a large cart of gifts for Su Xingze. When the housekeeper ordered someone to lead the loaded carriage out of the house, Su Xingze was stunned when he saw the large cart full of things.
He shook his head and refused again and again, "I can't accept these things!"
Logically speaking, his sister had been staying at the Princess's Mansion for many days, eating, drinking, and staying. It was his turn to thank the Princess' Mansion, but because he had just come out of the examination room, he was in such a hurry that he didn't have time to prepare, so he planned to come another day.
Gifts came to his door, but who knew that before his thank you gift was sent, Duan Hua would give him such a large truckload of gifts.
He is really...
His refusal was very obvious and resolute, but the housekeeper could not allow him to refuse. He said with a smile: "Just accept this cart of things. It contains not only the congratulatory gift given to you in advance by the princess, but also the princess and the consort."
Yes, the princess and the consort heard this morning that the princess had prepared a gift for you, so they also gave a gift separately and told the old slave that you must accept it. If you don't accept it, you will look down on the princess's mansion.
"
Su Xingze really didn't dare to look down on the Princess Mansion now, and he didn't know what to say at this time despite his outstanding literary talent and ability to argue among the crowd.
The housekeeper smiled and said: "You live in the Shen Mansion, right? I will personally take these things to you and send them to the Shen Mansion first? Or will they be sent to the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong?"
Su Xingze really didn't want to accept it, but now that it came to this, could he just accept it if he didn't want to? If you don't accept things from others, wouldn't you be giving others face? Especially the three princesses and consorts.
The face of being together. If her sister didn't live in the princess's mansion, he wouldn't have to give it to her, but now that her sister was so close to the princess's mansion, how could he not give it to her?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Shen Mansion!"
When the time comes, I will discuss with Uncle Shen what to do with this ceremony.
When the housekeeper saw that Su Xingze had accepted it, he immediately smiled and happily ordered someone to drive the car and personally take Su Xingze to the Shen Mansion.
The steward of the Shen Mansion heard someone report that Mr. Su was back, and the steward of the Princess Mansion came to the door. He quickly came out to greet him.
When he first saw the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion pulling a cart full of things, he was very frightened and looked at Su Xingze.
Before Su Xingze could speak, the butler of the Princess Mansion said with a smile: "We, the Princess Consort and the Princess, are sending a congratulatory gift to the First Young Master Su in advance to congratulate him on being named to the gold list."
The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion suddenly realized that he had never seen anyone give a gift in advance, and this was the first time for the Princess Mansion.
Su Xingze went to see Shen Xian and told him how he went to the Princess's Mansion and the congratulatory gifts that the Princess's Mansion forcibly sent. Shen Xian was also surprised, "You sister, it seems that you are really favored by everyone in the Princess's Mansion.
"
Su Xingze nodded, "Everyone in the princess's house seems to like my sister."
She didn't expect Su Rong to be so popular. When she was in Jiangning County, she was hated by everyone and wanted to beat her up all over Jiangning County.
Shen Xiandao: "In the capital, Princess Qingping's Mansion is a very special existence. Your Majesty's only sister has an extraordinary affection. Therefore, after your Majesty came to power, he was very kind to her. She even insisted on forcing the consort, and your Majesty
So he really gave her a marriage. Everyone said that Princess Qingping was arrogant, domineering, and acted without scruples. She didn't know what to do because of her status as your majesty's sister. But in fact, this was not the case. In the royal family, she only relied on the blood of her mother's compatriots.
Status cannot allow her to remain favored for many years. The reason why Princess Qingping's Mansion can remain standing is because no one understands His Majesty better than her, a compatriot sister who grew up with His Majesty. It can be said that His Majesty's
Wherever the sword points, she will strike. When it comes to guessing the Sacred Heart, Princess Qingping is unique."
Su Xingze was a little shocked. Looking at Shen Xian, he had just overturned his understanding of the princess mansion today.
Shen Xian did not form any political parties for personal gain, and always remained neutral. He was the emperor's trusted minister in the court. What he said was never without purpose, "So, your sister can live comfortably in the princess's mansion, not only Duanhua likes her, but also the princess's consort." Duoliu, I will give you these gifts from now on. It can be seen that she is lovable on the one hand, and on the other hand, Princess Qingping and the consort should have made a deal with the prince through your sister and you. They want to tell the prince that Qingping The Princess Mansion will not turn against the eldest prince, the second prince, or other princes, the Princess Mansion will lean towards the prince."
Su Xing understood somewhat. Even if Su Rong and Zhou Gu broke off their engagement, his father Su Xu was definitely recognized as a member of the East Palace camp, and he would also be a member of the East Palace camp in the future.
Shen Xiandao: "So, since the Princess Mansion has sent you a congratulatory gift in advance, you don't need to be burdened, just keep it. When you have the opportunity, return it back. For example, you will always ask for the birthday of the Princess Consort Princess. Moving."
Su Xingze nodded.
Shen Xian smiled and said: "It's a good thing. With the Princess's Palace involved, if the eldest prince and the second prince want to deal with you, even if they don't look at their own face, they will still be wary of the Princess's Palace. Plus the East Palace. In this way, you have several parties involved, and as long as the eldest prince and the second prince are not confused, they will know that it is not cost-effective to deal with you anymore, and they will not take action against you easily."
After he finished speaking, he patted Su Xingze on the shoulder and said, "Go and have a rest! Before the scientific examination, you were afraid of causing trouble and kept a low profile. Now you don't have to worry about it after the scientific examination. Once you have a good rest, you can go out and make friends with like-minded people." of knowledgeable people.”
Su Xingze nodded, "That's what uncle said."
The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion invited the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion in, warmly entertained him for a cup of tea, and then sent him out of the house in a kind and polite manner.
This is the first time that the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion has received such treatment in the Shen Mansion. You must know that Mr. Shen is selfless and independent. He has been an official for many years and does not buy anyone's face. He has normal relations with all the houses and does not have any special friends. However, because He controls the staff, no one dares to offend him, and no one has a particularly bad relationship. The Princess Mansion, which relies on His Majesty, is no exception. Therefore, receiving such courtesy today makes the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion a little flattered.
After the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion returned to the house, Princess Qingping had already returned to the house. After hearing the housekeeper's report, she was not surprised and said nothing. She waved her hand and asked the housekeeper to retreat.
In the evening, the consort returned home, and Princess Qingping told the consort what had happened today.
After hearing this, the consort said: "Shen Xian valued Su Xingze very much. He stepped in as a guarantor and allowed Su Xingze to live in the Shen Mansion, so that the eldest prince and the second prince were at odds and failed to interfere and sabotage Su Xingze's scientific research. Now. Now Because of Su Rong, we sent a congratulatory gift to Su Xingze in advance, which can be regarded as a kind of good relationship. Since Shen Xian values Su Xingze, he will naturally give him this face."
Qing Ping muttered, "I thought Shen Xian was a rotten bone that no one could chew, but I didn't expect that he also has someone he values."
The prince-in-law sighed with emotion and reminded her, "He and Xie Yuan have the same friendship."
Princess Qingping immediately grabbed the consort's hand and said, "If it weren't for me, you would have been like them at the beginning, and now you play an important role in the court, and you wouldn't have been idle for so many years."
The prince-in-law held her hand instead, "Compared with Xie Yuan and Princess Zhenmin, who are far apart, I am already considered a blessed person. There is no need to mention the past."
There are no ifs in life, and he doesn't know what his life would have been like if Qingping hadn't disrupted the situation. But at least, he now feels that his life is stable, which is great.
Qingping whispered: "I always felt that Duanhua only had a daughter. I couldn't help you and didn't give birth to a son for you."
The prince-in-law held her hand tightly and said, "Children are fate, and there is nothing wrong with just having one Duanhua."
Qingping opened his mouth, but still couldn't say the words "I'll take a concubine for you". He only thought about the day when she took the ancient prescription Su Rong gave her to the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital to see, and the imperial doctor mentioned that the princess had this wonderful gift.
According to ancient methods, if the princess's body can be well taken care of, it may take a year and a half, and she may give birth to a daughter in another year and a half.
No one knew better than the imperial physician at the imperial hospital that she had secretly been secretly eager to give birth to another son for her husband over the years.
The consort knew Qingping's thoughts and said seriously: "I really don't think you need to worry too much. In my life, just you and Duanhua are fine."
Qingping's eyes were hot and he nodded.
The consort suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Have you noticed that Miss Su Qi looks a lot like the late Princess Zhenmin?"
Qingping was startled, "You think so too?"
The prince-in-law understood clearly that Qingping and Zhenmin had known each other since childhood. Even after many years, he would never forget what she looked like. He nodded, "Well, I also think they are somewhat similar."
Qingpingyou sat up straight and said, "I think there are some similarities, but I didn't dare to think that she and Zhenmin... could... have any relationship?"
The Prince Consort said: "Xie Yuan has been staying in Jiangning County. It is said that he stayed in Jiangning County to help Su Xu because he has a similar temperament. But isn't it Shen Xian who is more similar to his temperament? Su Rong is so similar to Princess Zhenmin.
And Xie Yuan and Princess Zhenmin..."
Qingping said: "Su Rong is fifteen this year."
She suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the consort, not daring to think, "Husband, do you think she could be..."
