Li Yao hooked her fingers at Su Yirou, and Su Yirou came over. Li Yao whispered a few words in her ear. The more Su Yirou listened, the tighter her brows furrowed.
"Mom, isn't this method too risky?"
"Wealth and wealth are found in danger."
"But..." Li Yao patted her hand, "Don't worry, think about it slowly, and when you think about it, ask Xing'er to send a message to your parents. Your parents will make careful arrangements then."
"good."
Su Yirou thought of something and reminded Li Yao, "Mom, Xing'er's name has been changed to Hongxiu. Don't call her by the wrong name in the future."
"What's the point of changing your name?"
"It's not because of that bitch Su Xing'er!"
Su Yirou's expression was distorted, "Just because the pronunciation of Xing'er's name is similar to hers, the prince asked me to change Xing'er's name."
"The prince took the initiative to ask you to change it?"
The handkerchief in Su Yirou's hand was distorted, "otherwise my daughter wouldn't be so angry."
"..." Li Yao frowned.
Chu Mohan couldn't even tolerate a name similar to Su Xing'er. It was obvious that he was really interested in Su Xing'er. Li Yao's face turned a little gloomy, "Don't Chu Mohan hate Su Xing'er very much? How long has it been?
Are you so nice to her?"
"Who knows where she learned the charming tricks from, and she stole away the prince's soul. Now the prince has given her the power of housekeeping, and now she is about to walk away from the palace."
Li Yao said bitterly, "Chu Yuning is robbing your mother for a man, and Su Xinger is robbing you for a man. These mother and daughter are the nemesis of our mother and daughter."
"..." "Don't worry. Back then, my mother was raised outside by you, just in an outer room, with no one around to help her. Now that Chu Yuning is the eldest princess, she has never fought against her.
Your current situation is much better than your mother's at that time. You are Chu Mohan's concubine who was carried into the palace in a sedan chair. You have a serious status and you have parents to give you advice.
Then Su Xing'er is definitely no match for you!"
"Su Xing'er is dad's legitimate daughter after all. Will dad really help me?"
"certainly."
Li Yao chuckled lightly, "It's true that Su Xing'er is the legitimate daughter, but since she was taken into the palace to be raised by the Queen Mother, she has never returned to the Su Mansion during the holidays.
Even if we meet on various occasions, Su Xing'er never greets you x, she doesn't take you x seriously at all, and you x have no father-daughter affection towards her."
"Your x was originally a third-rank official, but because of Chu Yuning you were demoted all the way to the seventh rank. He hates Chu Yuning to death, and even more hates Su Xinger for not speaking for him in front of the Queen Mother.
At first, when Su Xing'er was taken to Cining Palace, you x tried to find a way to visit her, but Su Xing'er was taught by the Queen Mother to hate you x. You x visited her several times, but she didn't give you x.
You look so good, but after a few times, you x will completely give up on her."
"You x no longer regard Su Xing'er as your daughter. To you x, you and Changfeng are his children."
Su Yirou snorted softly.
That's right.
It doesn't matter if Su Xing'er is the princess, she can't compare to her in terms of love from her parents.
"Su Xing'er won't be proud for long."
"how do I say this?"
Li Yao sneered, "She can be so arrogant because of the support of the Queen Mother. You have got it right. She said that the Queen Mother has lost a lot of weight after a serious illness a few days ago and is not in good spirits. I'm afraid she doesn't have much time left."
Already."
Su Yirou was extremely surprised, "Seriously?"
"of course it's true."
Li Yao felt like she was struggling to get ahead, "Over the years, the Queen Mother has been suppressing me, so you can only be a minor official, and my mother can only be a concubine.
How many years has passed since Chu Yuning died? When the Queen Mother dies, who will still remember her?
You, x, are only less than forty years old this year. Maybe after the Queen Mother dies and our family uses money to smooth things over, you, x, may be promoted to a higher official position."
She continued, "Even if you have no hope of getting an official position, at least he can straighten your mother out. Then you and Changfeng will be your legitimate daughters and sons, and you won't be caught in the future. You are from a bad background and will make a fuss about it, especially you."
Brother, he is still young. When he wins the imperial examination and becomes the legitimate son, he will not have to worry about finding a good marriage in the future."
Su Yirou was also very happy.
Although she is famous in the capital, she has always been looked down upon because of her background.
Because she was a concubine, she could only be a concubine. If she became a legitimate daughter, the prince might let her be his concubine.
After becoming a side concubine, is she still far away from becoming a main concubine? Thinking of this, Su Yirou felt that the future was bright.
"Rou'er."
"Um?"
"Your top priority now is to capture the prince's heart."
"My daughter knows."
"you do not know."
Li Yao looked at her steadily, "Your brother is in need of help now. Only by grasping the prince's heart can his future journey be easier.
If your brother's journey is smooth, he will be able to rely on you in the future."
"My daughter understands."
...That night, Su Yirou had dinner at Su's house.
On the dinner table.
Fifteen-year-old Su Changfeng said something, "Today I was drinking tea in a teahouse on Zhengyang Street and saw Su Xing'er and Prince Yu bump into each other."
"..." Su Yirou's eyes lit up, "King Yu is famous for his cruelty. Did Su Xing'er offend Wang Yu, who splattered her with blood three feet away?"
"Not really."
Su Changfeng was at the age when he was tall. He was as thin as a bamboo pole and had no flesh on his face. At the age of fifteen, his eyes were filled with anger and he looked a little gloomy. He put down his chopsticks and laughed inexplicably.
.
"Not only did Prince Yu not do anything to her, the two of them were still chatting happily in the private room. It wasn't until Prince Jing went to the teahouse that he picked Su Xing'er up."
Su Yirou's eyes flickered, "Changfeng, what do you mean..." "Prince Yu doesn't have a good temper towards women, and it's rare that he doesn't treat Su Xing'er well."
Su Changfeng chuckled, "I guess even if Prince Yu doesn't like Su Xing'er, he probably doesn't hate her either."
Su Yirou was thoughtful.
After meal.
Su Qingfeng dismissed the maid and mother-in-law, leaving Su Yirou to speak, "Rou'er, how is your relationship with the prince?"
Su Yirou said vaguely, "It's not bad."
"That's good."
Su Qingfeng squinted his eyes, and his slender face looked a bit mean, "No matter what method you use, give birth to your eldest son as soon as possible."
"Father...mother has already told her daughter, and she understands."
"There are some things your mother doesn't know either."
"..." Su Yirou looked at him blankly. Su Qingfeng knew that Su Yirou knew the seriousness, so he hesitated and mentioned it to her, "The prince coughed up blood again today. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left."
"..." Seeing her confusion, Su Qingfeng pointed out again, "Chu Mohan is also the emperor's legitimate son."
Su Yirou's heart skipped a beat.
"Dad, what do you mean..." Su Yirou raised her head suddenly, and after meeting her father's eyes, she took a deep breath, "My daughter understands, and she will make plans as soon as possible."
"Um!"
...In the evening, Little Xingxing cooked a large table of delicious food.
After the sun went down, there was a slight breeze in the yard, so Little Xingxing simply started eating in the yard. She asked Lu'er to order mugwort to smoke mosquitoes, and was about to let Lu'er eat it with her.
A stone suddenly fell at her feet.
Little Xingxing was stunned.
She raised her head suddenly and met Chu Li's eyes with a deep smile on the branches of the tree.
