After leaving Yu An's place, Su Rong finally went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
In Fengyi Palace, the queen heard early in the morning that Su Rong had entered the palace to try the case. She wanted to look for her, but after thinking about it again and again, she still didn't leave and just waited for her in the palace.
That day, the little palace maid used a golden needle to kill her. If it hadn't been for Su Rong, she and the eldest princess Sheng'an would have died. If something happened to them together, it would be a fatal blow to the prince.
Therefore, the Queen thanked Su Rong from the bottom of her heart.
She waited for a day, and finally in the evening, when Su Rong came, she personally greeted her at the gate of Fengyi Palace. At a glance, she saw the little girl holding an umbrella and walking towards her, wearing a white fox fur cloak.
, in the wind and snow, the white fox fur was pure white, without a trace of impurities, almost blending with the falling snow in the sky.
The queen was startled.
The nun who was waiting beside her said in a low voice: "Mother, the white fox fur cloak on Miss Su Qi is a gift from our Crown Prince, right?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that he would give it to the future Crown Princess.
The Queen nodded, "Really?"
White foxes are rare. The white fox skin Yan Huisheng had in his hand was a chance hunt when he was young. It was just one piece. Later, his subordinates heard that the prince liked white fox skins, so they searched everywhere and got a few more. Concubine Guo Bao learned about it and asked for it.
, he did not respond, and the words he said to the future princess were three years ago.
The two chatted for a few more words. The queen knew that Su Rong was not just here to see her, but for the sake of a case, so she sent everyone around her away and they talked in private.
The queen was stunned and asked keenly: "Is the precious concubine related to this case?"
The queen didn't press for it after hearing this, "How about leaving the palace after dinner?"
"It's just speculation at the moment." Su Rong said conservatively.
Su Rong snorted softly, "He came to the palace to protect the empress, why is he so out of tune? I will teach him a lesson later."
Now Su Rong is wearing a white fox fur cloak. Except for the one given by the prince, there is really no one in the world.
The queen asked Su Rong, "Is the investigation going smoothly?"
Su Rong nodded.
Su Rong was able to agree, "Sure, I'll leave the dinner at your Majesty's place."
Su Rong smiled and declined, "It's just a matter of a few steps. Don't bother your Majesty. I'll talk to your Majesty for a while and then leave. There are things outside the palace."
The queen said: "Let's stay in the palace today. Just stay here in this palace. Don't bother leaving the palace on this snowy day."
The queen smiled and said: "Okay, next time you come again, I won't welcome you."
Su Rong nodded, "It went smoothly."
The queen added: "After she entered the palace, she was very good at being a person. She did not commit crimes because of her beauty, nor did she show off her power because she was favored by His Majesty. Although she was not very low-key, she was not really flamboyant. She once
She surrendered to me privately, saying that her mother died in childbirth and that her father hated her. When she was a child, she had no protection from her mother and no love from her father. She grew up stumbling and was bullied by her stepmother's sisters.
Entering the curling court hurt her body. Even if she enters the palace now, it is difficult for her to have children. She is not a threat to this palace. The reason why she entered the palace is that she is forced by the situation and she wants to live a better life for the rest of her life.
My son, at least, she won’t be bullied by others. Please ask me to give her a place to stay.”
The queen came to her senses and quickly held her hand, "Quickly excuse me."
The queen added: "There are so many beauties in the harem. As a queen, and with a prince beside me, what I want is naturally not your majesty's love. This is of no use to me. I only want the prince to be well, grow up safely, and have a smooth future."
After ascending the throne, for a person who has no heirs, I can naturally treat her well and not take action against her. And the precious concubine is also sensible. She has not had any bad relations with me for so many years. Not only that, she has suffered from the relationship between the prince and me.
During these years of being treated coldly, although she did not help, she did not step on her, let alone help the Concubine De, Concubine Xian, etc."
Su Rong nodded.
The two of them talked and entered the inner hall. The wind and snow were suddenly blocked outside, and the hall felt warm and cozy.
The queen smiled and said not to bother her, and immediately ordered her to go. At the same time, she smiled at Su Rong and said, "Your brother Fengling has almost grown up in the imperial dining room since he came to the palace."
The queen asked tentatively: "Didn't the prince mention this cloak when he gave it to you?"
Su Rong untied the white fox fur cloak, and a nun immediately took it carefully and helped her fold it and put it aside. The waiting maid quickly made hot tea and handed it to Su Rong to warm her hands.
The queen smiled and shook her head, "He brought two people here. On the first day, he helped me check the people around me and eliminated two people with evil intentions. He went to the imperial dining room because he saw that there was no danger around me.
That's what I said, you must not scold him. That child is so charming that after he came, Fengyi Palace became lively."
However, the queen felt that if it was just a guess, Su Rong would not have mentioned the precious concubine to her in the first sentence. She must have been involved. She thought for a while and said: "The precious concubine was drafted into the palace in Nanping, and she did not talk about the show at that time.
No one among the women can match her, not even in the harem. In terms of beauty, she is naturally very bright. However, your Majesty is not someone who has never seen beauty. Not to mention your cousin, you are also your mother.
Princess Zhenmin was famous in the capital when she was young. Even your Majesty's sister, Princess Qingping, was extremely beautiful when she was young. If she only had beauty in vain, she would be nothing more than a flash in the pan and a passing cloud in this harem. She is a
There are more than just beautiful beauties, that’s amazing.”
Treating the queen is different from how she treats others. Prince Yan Huisheng's mother puts the prince first, so after Su Rong sent her away, she bluntly said: "As for the precious concubine, the empress is in charge of the Sixth Palace."
, it should be clearer, you might as well tell me about the precious concubine."
Su Rong answered: "When I was in Jiangning County, I heard that the precious concubine was making waves in the harem?"
Fengling knew what was important. Although she was a foodie, she would never delay her business. Going to the imperial dining room was probably just a pretense.
"This is an exaggeration, but it's not true." The queen shook her head, "It's just that your majesty loves your concubine, so he naturally wants to give her good things. Over time, word spread from the palace to outside the palace, from the middle of the court to the outside of the capital.
It has led to her current reputation." Speaking of this, the queen seemed to remember something and glanced at the cloak that Su Rong wore and was carefully placed aside by the nanny, "Three years ago, she asked the prince for white fox fur, you
Do you know?"
Su Rong nodded, "Since your Majesty said so, I won't reprimand him."
Su Rong quickly came to the front and greeted the Queen with a smile, "The Queen."
Su Rong's hands were very warm today, but the Queen was wearing less clothes and was in a hurry to greet her, so her finger bones were a little cold. Su Rong held the Queen's hand and helped her warm her hands while walking into the palace, "Your Majesty, you are too polite."
Now, we are one of our own, I don’t need you to welcome us.”
Su Rong nodded, "I heard that Empress Li and Eunuch Yu An mentioned this matter."
Su Rong shook his head, with a calm look on his face, "Because I don't like to carry Tang Pozi everywhere. His Highness saw me rubbing my hands yesterday, so someone gave me this cloak. He said it was light and warm, and he didn't mention anything else.
"
The queen smiled kindly and said: "That's because he didn't want to mention it. Since you know it from other people's mouths, I don't need to say it anymore. Take this cloak for example. I don't know what she had in mind at the time.
I used this to test me and the prince, because I just wanted this thing. In short, the prince didn’t give it in the end, which annoyed His Majesty. It was she who persuaded me. For so many years, she has only stretched out my hand in front of me, or in front of the prince.
Such a claw."
"As for the other things..." the queen said, "because your majesty collected firefox skins for her from elsewhere and made her happy. Since then, she has been much more high-profile. Please tell me specifically what she has done. It seems that
No, she just often went to the imperial study to see His Majesty with ginseng soup. This was something she would not do before, at least, she would not dare to do it in such a way as to offend the people in the harem. But in the past two or three years, she did not worry about it anymore.
"
Su Rong thought thoughtfully, "That day I came out of His Majesty's imperial study and saw the precious concubine from a distance. It turned out that she was delivering ginseng soup to His Majesty."
The queen nodded, "She didn't stay for a short time and left immediately after seeing off. Occasionally she met courtiers, but she was also very sensible and waited patiently so as not to disturb His Majesty's court affairs. Therefore, the courtiers turned a blind eye and did not easily
