Su Xiyue had just finished writing the word "quiet" when she heard Su Yu'er's voice. She sighed softly and stretched out her hand to touch her forehead. That's all. I can't practice this word today. I'd better take a rest.
"Second sister, are you practicing calligraphy?" Su Yuer, who opened the curtain and came in, saw with sharp eyes the Four Treasures of the Study prepared on the table.
"Well, I have nothing to do, just pass the time as I please. Why are you here now? Not with grandma?"
"Grandma said she was a little tired and wanted to take a nap, so I came to your place." As she said that, she saw the clothes in Xiaolu's hand, "Sister, are you choosing clothes for the 100-day banquet in half a month?
"
Su Xiyue shook her head, "No. It's Xiao Lu who insists on letting me see it." She said, waving her hand, "Take it off."
"Second sister, do you think that the fact that the eldest sister has a son this time means that her position in the Wuchang Houfu has been stabilized?" Su Yu'er said a little unsure.
Su Xiyue heard the words and raised her eyes to look at her, "Yu'er, if this woman wants to have a place in the palace, she doesn't necessarily have to have a son by her side. For example, Queen Wen Jing a hundred years ago had nothing to do in her life.
She doesn’t even have a daughter, but she has been the queen for more than twenty years and the queen mother for more than ten years. Do you understand the truth? "
Su Yu'er shook her head and said, "Please give me some advice from my second sister."
"Queen Wenjing has nothing to do in her life, and the most she and the emperor can do is treat each other with respect. At that time, there were countless beauties in the palace who were favored, but all of them were like flowers blooming outside, withering early! Only the queen has always been
She stood firm in the middle palace and never fell down! She even adopted the prince born by one of the concubines into her own name! He was the later Emperor Zheng of the Ming Dynasty. Yu'er, a woman serves people with her sex, but when her sex fades, she loves him;
If a woman is too cruel in her methods, and if she is in charge of the back house, she will be resented and revenged sooner or later. No matter what kind of situation it is, it is not advisable."
Su Yu'er nodded, "I understand! But, the Queen Wen Jing back then?"
"Queen Wenjing was smart and courageous throughout her life. Although the late emperor did not favor her, he respected her very much. Because Queen Wenjing always focused on the overall situation no matter what she did, and she was also delicate and intelligent! For example,
At that time, she took a fancy to Emperor Ming Zheng and adopted him as her prince. Empress Wenjing was well-read and managed the harem in an orderly manner. The most important thing was that although the empress's natal family was from a prominent family, after the emperor ascended the throne, she
Then he gradually withdrew from the court, so that the emperor would not worry about his relatives intervening in politics! Therefore, even if the emperor favors others, even if the queen has nothing to do, he will never abandon the queen! Yu'er, I have said so much,
Do you understand?"
Su Yu'er nodded as if she understood, "Second sister, what you are saying is that this woman must have a clear mind and see things without being too short-sighted. She must take long-term interests into consideration in everything. What I said is correct.
wrong?"
"Exactly! The reason why Queen Wenjing's family chose to retreat was because of this! Although they lost their prosperity, at least the whole family was preserved. At the same time, it also allowed the emperor to protect the queen and her family.
People are grateful in their hearts. This can be regarded as a kind of retreat in order to advance."
"Then can I understand that if the eldest sister doesn't know how to stay humble and act like a child, then sooner or later, the eldest brother-in-law will be disgusted with her?"
Su Xiyue shook her head, "Emotional matters are the hardest to judge! Who knows how deep Leng Yufan's feelings for Su Lian are, and how long they can last? However, since they got married, his wife Yao has always been
There is nothing to do, but it is really not easy for the eldest sister to successfully give birth to a son! At the same time, this is just the beginning of having to be extremely careful!" Su Xiyue thought of some of the dirty tricks she had seen in the secret histories of the palace before.
I felt a little bit chilled.
"What the second sister said is that the Yao family has always had nothing to do. Although the eldest sister is an equal wife, she is still lower than the Yao family. Now that the eldest sister has given birth to a legitimate son, Yao family must not be happy in her heart.
So happy!"
"My sister is right. You should find an opportunity to go over and see her first, and then try to persuade her properly. Sometimes, being in the limelight is not necessarily a good thing."
After hearing this, Su Yu'er frowned slightly, apparently hearing Su Xiyue's hint, "Thank you, second sister, for reminding me. I understand. I will go to Wuchang Houfu first. Tell my eldest sister carefully.
explain."
Su Xiyue nodded and watched Su Yu'er leave the room, but she shook her head slightly. According to Su Lian's temperament, she must have felt that she was a great contributor to the Leng family after she had just given birth to a son!
She must have her tail raised again! If Su Yu'er can talk to her, it will be good. If she doesn't listen, there is nothing she can do. Yao is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Others don't know why Yao has nothing to do. Wouldn't Su Lian know? She dominated Leng Yufan for more than half of a month. She is smart. Leng Yufan went to Yao's house.
During those days, either Yao was physically inconvenient, or it was impossible for Yao to get pregnant during those days. In modern terms, it was the safe period!
When Su Xiyue thought of this, she burst out laughing. It seemed that the Cao family had prepared a lot of good things for Su Lian! Most of them were about the bed! If she hadn't been in front of her,
Ancha had an eyeliner, and he was afraid that he didn't know that this Cao family actually had such secretive skills?
"Miss, Miss Cheng is here." Xiao Lu opened the curtain to one side and saw Cheng Zilan in a purple gauze skirt.
"Sister Zilan is here? Sit down quickly." Su Xiyue stood up with a smile and greeted her. "The weather outside is very hot and muggy, why are you here just now? But what's important?"
, before she could say anything, he added, "Go get some iced watermelon to relieve sister Zilan from the heat."
"Yes, miss."
Cheng Zilan smiled and said, "Of course there is something important! Otherwise, why would I come to you under the scorching sun? Is it just for a piece of watermelon in your house?"
Su Xiyue chuckled and said, "Okay! Tell me what you have to say."
Cheng Zilan smiled mysteriously at her, then took out a letter from her sleeve, "I just received this. Didn't I just send it to you in a hurry?"
Su Xiyue's eyes flashed with confusion, and she took it with a smile. After opening it and looking at it carefully, her face turned red, then she folded the letter again and put it behind her. "How is Aunt Cheng's health? Recently, she folded the letter and put it behind her.
The weather will be hot for a few days, but we should remind them to use less greasy things."
