Concubine Li looked at Su Ningxin, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but in the end she tolerated it, bowed and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your good words."
"You're welcome." Su Ningxin said casually.
In fact, Su Ningxin knew that Concubine Li had no children. She had been pregnant several times before, but she had miscarried accidentally. Her only daughter also died when she was half a year old.
It was precisely because she knew what to say that was most heartbreaking to Concubine Li that she said this. Losing a child is very pitiful, but can you plot against the princess's fetus if you are pitiful
Did you think that when you blatantly bumped into the princess, everyone thought that no one would be so stupid, so they thought you didn't do it on purpose? The reason for not punishing you is because of the princess's generosity. Can't you bear a few words
After saying this, Su Ningxin helped the princess into Prince An's Mansion, followed by Prince An's concubines and concubines.
, but the princess was never close to them, so they just followed her from a distance.
As the princess walked away, she whispered to Su Ningxin, "Ning'er, Concubine Li has such a temper. You don't have to be angry with her. It's not worth it."
Su Ningxin rolled her eyes playfully, "I can't stand her treacherous behavior. Which concubine is like her?"
The princess smiled helplessly, "Look at the rest of them, none of them are acting against each other. They each have their own agenda. If you argue with them, you will probably keep it in mind for the rest of your life."
"Then let them know the rules. Do you, your majestic princess, want to wrong yourself in front of them?"
Su Ningxin disagreed. She understood the world. People who are kind can be bullied. The kinder the person, the more they will be endlessly demanded and bullied. Even kindness should have a bit of edge. .
"I also watched them enter the house, from green young girls to what they are now. Each is pitiful in its own way, and each is hateful in its own way. The same thing is equally pathetic. I don't want to have anything to do with them. Just live your own life."
The princess said with emotion, and then looked at Su Ningxin with a smile, "But you don't have to worry about this. The grievances of our generation have nothing to do with you. Just do it in the way that makes you happy. If they make you angry You can reprimand and punish them, but they are just concubines and concubines."
Su Ningxin responded obediently, "Don't worry, concubine, I will never let myself be wronged."
The princess also smiled happily, "I feel happy just looking at you. With the emperor's imperial edict when granting marriage, you will always have less trouble in the backyard."
Su Ningxin smiled and said nothing.
In fact, she didn't care whether Chu Jihan had concubines or not. Just like the concubines in the emperor's harem, she didn't care no matter how many there were. The more people there were, the more fun she would have.
She was also happy to use these people to pass the boring time, after all, there were very few entertainment activities in ancient times.
She had never felt the grievance and sorrow of the queen, the resentment or jealousy of the other concubines. If her heart was not moved, there would be no pain. That was probably how it was.
Entering the back hall of the palace with the princess, everyone took their seats, and Su Ningxin naturally sat on the right side of the princess, closest to her.
The princess began to ask about the big and small things that happened in the mansion during the time she left. Concubine Li was reporting most of the time, but she looked a little absent-minded.
As for the other concubines and concubines, there were also undercurrents surging, but they were not really exposed openly, so the princess pretended not to see them at all.
Su Ningxin was so bored that her eyelids started to tremble, but she couldn't leave first and could only sit here and wait.
In fact, it's not that the princess doesn't allow her to leave, it's just that she has no place to go now. The residence the princess arranged for her is Chu Jihan's courtyard. The luggage she brought from the capital has just arrived at the house and has not yet been placed.
Even if she went there now, she would see that the yard was in a mess and had to eat dust. Although she liked to join in the fun, she didn't do it that way.
But Su Ningxin wasn't too worried. Although she was delayed for a while when entering the city, she was confident that it wouldn't take long to clean up the yard.
Now her three maids have gone to decorate the yard, and Xia Mu, who is very capable in business, is here, so it will definitely be completed soon.
That's right, Xia Moumu was the chief eunuch around the queen. When the queen left, she had no time to take care of herself, so she entrusted Eunuch Xia to Su Ningxin.
Xia Mutou was also very low-key along the way. He was usually the first to get on the carriage and the last to get off. He almost never went out. Many people in the convoy had never even seen his face.
Now that we have arrived at Daming Mansion, which is a hundred miles away from the capital, we can relax a little. After all, Daming Mansion is relatively far from the capital. There are not many wealthy families here, and even fewer can enter the palace. Except for the princess, almost no one can see the queen. There is no need to worry about anyone recognizing Eunuch Xia.
Su Ning was thinking that if the queen came back, she would send Xia Mu back. If she didn't come back, she would keep him by her side. She had been coveting such a capable and ruthless person for a long time.
Su Ningxin was thinking to herself in boredom when she was attracted by a high-pitched female voice in the hall, "The Meng family behaves like this, they really don't take our county and prince's palace seriously!"
Su Ningxin looked up following the voice and saw a concubine wearing a woman's hair and a light green brocade dress standing up to answer the princess. There was another young woman beside her holding hands. The veil is sobbing.
Since she didn't hear what she said before, Su Ningxin didn't know what happened, but she didn't show any signs of confusion or curiosity.
The princess on the throne asked, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail."
The woman said, "Zhu'er has always respected his elders and was filial to his parents-in-law in the Meng family, but Meng Ji raised an outhouse behind Zhu'er's back. Zhu'er was generous and didn't want to quarrel with him, so he only let him take care of his parents. He didn’t care if the outer room was sent away, but not only did he not send it away, he even arrogantly wanted to carry the outer room into the house.”
"After all, our Zhu'er is also the eldest daughter of Prince An's Mansion. How could we be so wronged? So we packed up our clothes and returned to Prince An's Mansion in a fit of anger."
Listening to the other party's words, Su Ningxin guessed the other party's identity. The Zhu'er she mentioned should be Chu Qingzhu, the eldest daughter of Prince An, and the woman was Mrs. Ying in the mansion.
As for Chu Qingzhu’s husband’s family, the Meng family is the inspector of Daming Palace. It can be regarded as a powerful family in Daming Palace, but it is inferior to that of Anjun Prince’s Palace. Otherwise, the legitimate son would not marry a concubine. After all, An The county prince is a local emperor on the border, and there is indeed no one in Daming Mansion who can rival the county prince's palace.
