That night, King Rui came back to have dinner with her. Su Xiyue did not mention Xiao Tao to him, but only asked a few indirect questions about Xiao Tao's family background and background. Although he did not ask directly, the shrewd King Rui still
I heard something.
"But she is restless living here?" King Rui's face turned a little cold.
When Su Xiyue took a look, she was even more sure that he had no feelings for Xiao Tao at all! Otherwise, he would never have had such a big reaction after just listening to a few questions from her.
.
"Not really. I just think it's not good that such a girl lives in our palace for no apparent reason. Now that we have just returned to Beijing, it's better. But if time goes by, the reputation of other girls will always be bad.
Lossful."
Hearing what Su Xiyue said, Prince Rui's expression softened, "Your concerns are not without reason. Whatever, it's up to you. You are the mistress of the palace, and now she is also a guest. You see.
Just settle down."
"I was thinking that we should first ask about her aunt's situation. If she is indeed a difficult person to get along with, then we will let her live in the mansion in the name of the prince's sister. If her aunt's character is
Yes, we treat people generously, so why not just send her back. If we are worried about someone bullying her, we will send people over from time to time to check on her. In addition, if we give her a few maids from the palace to support her appearance, what do you think?
how?"
"This is a good idea! In fact, her aunt is still here, so it is not our turn to worry about her matters. The reason why her father entrusted it to me in the first place was just because he was worried about whether his wife would treat her well.
She, in fact, if we really do this, this Xiaotao will not be able to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan, and secondly, she will be disrespectful to her wife!"
"Since you agreed, I'll let people inquire before we talk."
King Rui saw that Su Xiyue looked good and asked with a smile, "Has Su Yuer's matter been resolved?"
Su Xiyue shook her head, "Not yet. I would like to solve it earlier, but it has to take some time, right? Besides, you know that when I do things, I always have to think through all the ins and outs.
"Don't leave any more excuses. In fact, I really want to know who is behind that business? What thoughts do you have to marry Yu'er and go back!"
"Don't worry, things will eventually come to light one day. You are her sister-in-law, so it is appropriate for you to come forward in this matter."
"I sent someone to the Wuchang Marquis Mansion today and asked Su Lian to come over tomorrow. I also want to hear what she means. After all, she is also Su Lian's biological sister."
"You are nominally recuperating now. It is normal for them sisters to come and see you. You must not leave the palace. I don't want those in the palace to miss you anymore."
"I know." Su Xiyue knew that Prince Rui was feeling sorry for her, so she smiled sweetly, "Actually, the more lively the fights in the palace, the better, so I'm too lazy to pay attention to it. However, I won't go into the palace to pay tribute to my father, the queen, and the queen.
Is it really appropriate to say hello?"
King Rui patted her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. My father has already spoken out, saying that you have made great achievements in Jiangnan, and your body is also tired from Jiangnan, so I hope you will be well taken care of for a long time."
Now, just go back to the palace and pay your respects."
Su Xiyue laughed out loud after hearing this, "It must be your idea, right? Now that the emperor has spoken, the queen and Concubine Hui have no intention of making things difficult for me."
"Yeah. However, before I left the palace today, I heard from people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that it seemed that the Queen and Concubine Hui were preparing gifts, which should be for you. It is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow. You should be careful. They
Don’t touch the things you send, no matter how expensive they are! It’s better for me to raise my own princess.”
Su Xiyue nodded. Originally, she had no intention of using the things sent by the palace. After all, the people inside were all like thousand-year-old vixens! How could she be able to fight against a few of them by herself? That is, relying on
I still have some special abilities, otherwise, I might have been harmed so many times!
Early the next morning, King Rui did not go to court, but went directly to the Xishan Camp. He was in charge of the military department, and it was natural for him to go there for inspection.
After Su Xiyue had breakfast, not long after she arrived in the garden, she heard a report from her servants that Su Lian had arrived.
"Greetings to the princess." Su Lian bowed politely. After Su Xiyue called out, she sat down beside her.
"Have you heard about Yu'er's marriage?"
"Back to the princess, I heard about it. However, it was impossible for Aunt Cao to assign Yu'er to a merchant in the first place. Those people must have ulterior motives." Su Lian said anxiously, "Although Yu'er is a concubine, she is also from the Hou Mansion.
Serious lady. How can a person of such status be married to a merchant?"
"You are right, but now people have come to your door with tokens. If we don't respond, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Marquis Mansion and my sister's reputation."
"Then there is no other way? You are now Princess Rui, with a distinguished status, and Yu'er has always been close to you. Can't you just think of another way?" Su Lian said sincerely, but she was really worried.
This is my sister.
Seeing that she was a little anxious, Su Xiyue also knew that she was not a particularly cold-hearted person, so she said slowly, "I have asked people to find out what kind of family they are. In addition, as for the token, you
Have you seen it?"
Su Lian nodded, "Last time, my grandmother also called me back home. I saw it. It was indeed Aunt Cao's thing. It was a fine jade pendant. On the jade pendant, there was Yu'er's name. It was
When she was a child, Aunt Cao rewarded us with it. I also have a piece."
"Oh? Bring your piece to me."
Su Lian also took the jade with her. She also knew why Su Xiyue was looking for her today, so she naturally made extra preparations.
Su Xiyue took the jade and looked at it carefully. It was the finest Hetian white jade. The jade pendant was engraved with a lotus flower, which was the word "lian" in Su Lian's name!
"Are you sure that jade pendant is right? It was the one that Cao gave to Yu'er?"
"That's right." Su Lian nodded.
Su Xiyue frowned slightly, I'm afraid it would be difficult to deal with this. She lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant in her hand. Su Xiyue's eyes flashed slightly, thinking carefully, "This jade pendant
His carving skills are indeed good. Let me let the people in the mansion take a closer look first to see if craftsmen from other places besides our capital city can carve such patterns."
Su Lian was stunned, "My sister's piece is carved with orchids. Originally, my sister was named Su Lan, but later it was changed to Su Yu'er for some reason. However, the pattern on the jade pendant has not changed.
It was only later that someone carved a jade character."
