Mingyu was eating lychees with a pouty mouth. She was very happy to see Mrs. Pei come back, but when she found that Mrs. Pei was accompanied by a woman, she immediately sat upright. In front of outsiders, she always wanted to be dignified and majestic. princess.
"My concubine has met Her Royal Highness the Princess." Mrs. Su had already bowed in a polite manner.
Pei said with a smile, "This is Mrs. Su, the mother of your little aunt."
"Ms. Su is free." Mingyu remembered that she had seen this lady before when she went to Su's house, no wonder she felt familiar.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Madam Su straightened her body and looked carefully at Mingyu.
Although she is not familiar with Mrs. Su, she is the mother of my little aunt, and Mrs. Pei personally brought her here. Mingyu also smiled at her, "I heard that this lychee was sent by Mrs. Su, it is delicious , we all love it."
Mrs. Su was very happy when she heard that, "It's as long as the princess likes it."
Seeing Madam Su standing here and not leaving, Mingyu guessed that she must have come to look for her, "Grandmother, Madam Su, please sit down."
Mrs. Pei said, "Mingyu, Mrs. Su has a niece in the palace, I wonder if you have seen her."
"Who?" Mingyu was stunned for a moment, she didn't quite remember that there were people from the Su family in the palace.
"Su Jieyu, Su Yingying." Mrs. Su hurriedly replied.
Mingyu suddenly realized, "Ah, I remembered, it turned out to be Su Jieyu, I didn't know it before, so she is Madam Su's niece."
Isn't that like cousins with my little aunt
Apart from going to Lei Bingfu's every day in the palace, she didn't interact much with other concubines. She seemed to have seen Su Jieyu before, but she didn't have a deep impression.
"Although we don't see each other every day, we still meet occasionally in the palace." Mingyu said.
"I don't know how Su Jieyu... is doing well?" Mrs. Su asked excitedly.
Mingyu looked at Mrs. Su suspiciously, "How can Su Jieyu have a bad life, no one in the palace will bully her."
Madam Su smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I made a mistake."
"When I go back, I will tell Su Jieyu." Mingyu said.
"Okay, okay." Madam Su nodded gratefully.
Pei Shi glanced at her with a smile.
Mrs. Su actually had a lot of questions to ask, but Mingyu didn't know much about Su Jieyu, she only knew that Su Jieyu had already served her bed. As for how the emperor treated her, that was not obvious from the surface.
"Mother, I still have something to say to you, why don't we bother the princess here, go to my room." Su Xiaoxiao walked to Mrs. Su's side and whispered.
Mrs. Pei did not take the initiative to ask Mrs. Su to stay here.
Mrs. Su smiled and nodded, "Okay." She looked at Mingyu, "Princess, the concubine is stepping down first."
"Madam Su, go slowly." Mingyu put down the lychee in her hand, and looked at Madam Su with a smile.
…
…
Mrs. Su and Su Xiaoxiao went back to the yard together.
"Mother, why are you here today?" Su Xiaoxiao held Mrs. Su's hand and couldn't help asking in a low voice.
"Knowing that the princess is here, I am anxious." Mrs. Su said, "From what the princess said, it seems that we don't get along very well with Yingying, and I don't know how the emperor treats Yingying. Being able to go to sleep, should be considered as the emperor eyes."
Su Xiaoxiao felt helpless and anxious, "I know you care about your sister, but you didn't come to ask the princess directly like this. How will this make my parents-in-law think of me?"
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Su didn't take it seriously, she didn't see anything unhappy about Pei's family, "Don't you and the princess always have a good relationship? It's not good for me to talk about this matter, you have to talk about it."
"What's the matter?" Seeing that her mother didn't realize how today's visit would affect her, Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to explain any more. Next time she won't reveal the princess's arrival.
Mrs. Su took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and entered the room, and dismissed all the serving servants, leaving only their mother and daughter.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Su Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, why was she so mysterious.
"I heard that the princess was very close to Lei Huipin in the palace. Lei Huipin deliberately approached the princess just to fight for favor, and I don't know what method he used to coax the princess. It's better than us Yingying. The princess treats us The Su family knows everything, as long as she helps Yingying stabilize her position in the palace, it will be of great benefit to the princess if Yingying can give birth to a prince in the future." Madam Su said in a low voice.
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. She didn't know that her mother still had such thoughts, so she couldn't help emphasizing, "Mother! What are you talking about?"
"Don't you know what I said?" Mrs. Su cast a sharp glance at her daughter, "Think about it, now that the emperor's feet are empty, as long as Yingying can give birth to a prince, then her status in the palace will be different, maybe in the future You can still soar into the sky, don't you want the Su family to become famous?"
"Even if he can give birth to a prince, what does it have to do with Mingyu?" Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, "No one can change Mingyu's status in the palace."
Mrs. Su smiled, "You don't understand that. The emperor has no decree to make Mingyu the empress dowager. People are selfish. When the emperor has a child of his own, he will think differently. Whether or not Princess Mingyu will be regarded as the apple of her eye is another matter."
In fact, many people outside the palace are guessing that when the emperor has his own prince, Mingyu's status in the palace will definitely not be as good as before, and maybe he will be sent out of the palace at that time.
Who would treat their own children badly, not to mention Princess Mingyu's parents are still a threat to the emperor.
"Mother, don't say such things again." Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Whether there is a decree or not, Mingyu is a princess, and now the only princess, what will happen in the future is not something you or I can predict."
"So we have to plan ahead." Mrs. Su said, "If another woman is allowed to be the prince, Yingying's status in the palace will not be so precious. Aren't you in love with the princess? You try it out, as long as the princess She helped us Yingying, the Su family will not forget her in the future."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Mrs. Su silently, and said after a while, "I won't tell Mingyu. If Mingyu likes Yingying, she will naturally get closer to Yingying. As for whether Yingying can be favored, This is not something Mingyu can help if she wants to."
"Are you Yingying's sister or not? You won't help her with this kind of help." Mrs. Su asked angrily.
"Did Yingying send someone to tell you?" Su Xiaoxiao's expression changed.
A look of stiffness flashed across Mrs. Su's face, "She's in the palace, where can she send a message to me, that's my own idea."
"Mother, you don't need to talk about it. This matter ends here. I still have to entertain the princess. I won't keep you today. I'll go home tomorrow to apologize." Su Xiaoxiao sent Mrs. Su away without saying a word.
