"Then have you asked Yu'er where her jade pendant went?"
"I asked, but Yu'er said that the jade pendant has not been worn for many years. It has been kept in her own small warehouse, but for some reason, it disappeared." Su Lian looked surprised when she said this.
, "What the princess means is, inside the prince's mansion?"
Su Xiyue nodded, "It's better to think of a way to stabilize Yu'er first, and then start with the people around her. I'm not in good health now, and it's inconvenient for me to come forward. It's up to you to go back to my house more often. After all,
Grandma still loves Yu'er sincerely. If Yu'er doesn't marry well, her old man will also be worried."
"Yes, Princess."
Su Xiyue saw that her meeting was completely etiquette and there was no violation of the rules. She nodded secretly. It seemed that Su Lian had really matured a lot! Now she understood that she wanted to be in the Hou Mansion.
To gain a firm foothold, you must have strong support from your mother's family. Just the favor of your husband is not enough!
"Sister, don't be too formal. My sister-in-law came yesterday and I mentioned Yu'er's marriage to her. She also felt that marrying a merchant was not appropriate. After you go back, discuss it with your sister-in-law first. As for Yu'er, I think
, it would be better to send them to my place to stay for a few days first. At least, those people will not take the leopard's courage and come to my place to make trouble! I want to rest now. The prince also said it yesterday. If you feel bored,
Just ask some of your old relatives and friends to come over and sit down and talk together."
Su Lian understood what Su Xiyue meant. This showed her attitude that she would never let Su Yu'er marry her. Thinking of this, Su Lian felt relieved!
"I heard that during the Chinese New Year, the queen rewarded the eldest brother-in-law with two beauties?"
Su Lian's face darkened and she bit her lip. She didn't know for a moment whether Su Xiyue mentioned this to humiliate her or because she was sincerely thinking about her. After hesitating for a while, she said
, "Exactly. Both of them are the concubines of minor officials."
"The little official who is posted outside is also an official. Big sister, this matter of competing for favor among the family members must not make the eldest brother-in-law feel troublesome or disturbed. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating!"
Su Lian was startled for a moment after hearing this, and looked at Su Xiyue in the chair with a strange expression. Is she trying to help herself?
"Now the eldest brother-in-law knows how to make progress. This is a good thing. The eldest sister is a sensible person. Naturally, she understands that at this time, Cheng cannot hinder the eldest brother-in-law. Besides, the Marquis of Wuchang was originally quite dissatisfied with the eldest sister. If the eldest sister continues to
If you can't manage your own back house well, I'm afraid it will make Madam Leng even more displeased."
"Thank you, Princess, for reminding me."
"Now, both my father and brother are trusted by the emperor. I, Princess Rui, who has disappeared in the capital for several months, have also come back. For a while, the Marquis of Wuchang may not have any intention of touching you, but Mrs. Leng and the Queen are.
Not necessarily! Especially now that the queen already has the seventh prince as her legitimate son, the Leng family also has a new support target. However, the eldest brother-in-law may not be willing to be of the same mind as Wuchang Hou anymore.
As for the Marquis of Wuchang, there is only one legitimate son, the eldest brother-in-law. I wonder if the eldest sister can understand what my younger sister said?"
"Yes! I understand. Thank you, Princess, for your advice." In fact, with the current situation in the capital, a discerning person will know that the emperor still relies more on King Rui and King Qin. But in the palace, Concubine Jing's belly,
I don’t know whether he is a boy or a girl. Although the seventh prince has become the legitimate son, he has no other foundation. It is impossible for all those who supported the prince to switch to the seventh prince! Firstly, the seventh prince is young, and secondly,
This time, Prince Rui made two great achievements one after another, and was in the limelight for a while. It was also because he followed Prince Rui that his husband gradually knew how to make progress. Needless to say, Su Lian'er now also knew which side she should be on.
.
After sending Su Lian away, Su Xiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not convenient for her to show up now. There were some things that she could only let Su Lian do first. Her sister-in-law was young, Su Yuer was unmarried, and her grandmother was old. In addition,
Su Lian could be where she is today, without her support, she would have died eight hundred times ago! Now that the Su family is in trouble, she should naturally step forward! What's more, he just asked her to run away
Even though she was running errands, she wasn't asked to do anything excessive, was she?
"Princess Qi, Lord Qinglong asks for an audience."
Su Xiyue thought for a while, although this is a separate hospital, it cannot be too casual to avoid criticism.
"Ask him to go to the front hall, I'll be there right away."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Su Xiyue asked Aunt Qing and Liangchen to accompany her to the front hall.
"What's going on? Did you find out everything?"
"Back to Your Highness, the deputy general's surname is Chen. His wife, Mrs. Liu, now has two sons and two daughters. In addition, there is an aunt and a concubine in the house. When deputy general Chen died, the court gave him a pension. In addition, the prince
I also received some money, and now Vice General Chen's eldest son has left Yin'en. Now he is a bodyguard under the commander of the Royal Forest Army under the prince's command. Now he has reached the fourth rank of imperial guard with a sword."
"Oh, that sounds good. What is Mr. Chen's name?"
"Back to the princess, Mr. Chen, whose name is Chen Daming. Because of his high martial arts skills, and last year, when he accompanied His Highness the King of Qin to practice martial arts, in order not to accidentally injure one of the guards around the King of Qin, he was injured. Therefore,
He was commended by the emperor for doing something, and in this way, he became a fourth-rank sword-wielding guard."
"Well, he is quite honest."
"What is he like as a person?"
"After some inquiring, I found that this Chen Daming is quite normal. It's just that his mother seemed to have heard some rumors about Vice General Chen raising his wife outside. However, after Vice General Chen died, he never saw the outside wife.
I brought people to look for me, but I gradually forgot about it."
"How is Liu doing with the concubines and servants in the mansion?"
"Princess, she's pretty good! At least, she doesn't do anything too extreme. It's human nature to feel unhappy occasionally."
Su Xiyue nodded. No woman would really like the child that another woman gave birth to for her husband. Fortunately, this Xiaotao is from a girl's family. If it were a boy, the Liu family would not be able to tolerate her even more!
After listening to Qinglong's words, Su Xiyue had already made a calculation in her heart. This Liu family should be pretty good. If it didn't work, she would ask someone to send some silver over. Compared with the trouble, it would be better to pay some silver.
