"That's right. The princess has just returned to the house after a long journey. I shouldn't disturb the princess's rest, but I do have something important to tell the princess here, so I can only take the liberty to come here."
Concubine Yin said respectfully and politely, clearly organized and neither humble nor overbearing, showing her family upbringing.
Su Ningxin smiled, she felt that she was not worth it for others. Whether others clung to powerful people or were forced by circumstances had nothing to do with her.
"Then Concubine Yin, please go quickly. If the concubine wants to rest, her trip will be in vain." Su Ningxin warned with a smile.
In fact, in terms of rank, the crown prince's concubine is the same as the prince's concubine, but concubines like the concubine are always looked down upon in the royal family, so others often don't respect the crown prince's concubine when looking at the concubine.
However, whether the side concubine is more powerful or the imperial concubine has a higher status is different for each family.
If the side concubine is favored but the main concubine cannot suppress it, then naturally the prince concubine needs to give in to the side concubine a little bit, and she should also address her as concubine when meeting her.
But in a situation like the Anjun Prince's Mansion, the prince respects the princess enough, and there is only a single person like Chu Jihan in the manor.
As long as Su Ningxin didn't die short-lived, or Chu Jihan died suddenly and suddenly, then her position as the future princess of the county would be secure.
So for Su Ningxin, there was no need to take these concubines seriously and just treat them as concubines.
After all, these concubines only have daughters, and some don't even have daughters. In the end, the daughter will not fall into her hands when she gets married. When the time comes, it is not her decision to send her to a nunnery for hard training or to a village.
Thinking of this, Su Ning felt a little bored for a moment. No matter what her family background was, she could only flatter her when she married into Prince An's palace.
So Su Ningxin stopped chatting with Concubine Yin, nodded and walked straight forward.
But as soon as she took a few steps, she heard a soft cry from behind her, "Ah!"
When Su Ningxin turned her head, the maid who was following Concubine Yin started scolding her, "What's wrong with you, little maid? You actually bumped into Concubine Concubine Yin."
"I, I, I, I didn't." Xiao An was also frightened when he saw this scene.
After all, Xiao An was just a teenage girl. Before the incident in the Zhong family, she was just an eldest daughter who was pampered by her parents. She had never experienced anything. Suddenly, she was stunned when such an incident happened, not knowing what to say.
Su Ningxin had already passed by Concubine Yin just now, so she didn't see what just happened.
So I looked at Xiao An and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing Su Ningxin's calm eyes, Xiao An also calmed down, organized her words and explained,
"My slave was walking behind you just now. When Concubine Yin passed by me, she seemed to suddenly twist her feet. She threw herself towards my slave and fell over, falling to the ground."
Xiao An had just finished speaking, but before Su Ningxin could say anything, a maid beside Concubine Yin sternly scolded her, "You are talking nonsense. It was obviously you who knocked down Concubine Yin. Are you so confusing right and wrong just for fear of being punished?"
"I didn't. I didn't hit Concubine Yin. She fell on me and hit my arm." Xiao An defended.
"Xiao An!" Su Ningxin raised her voice and warned Xiao An. Although Xiao An felt aggrieved, she still closed her mouth and said nothing.
In fact, Su Ningxin believed in Xiao An. After all, she was with her. There was no reason for her to help outsiders.
And today, when the princess was in the back hall listening to reports from people in the mansion, Xiao An came over to ask her about things. When she came back, everyone looked at her, except Concubine Yin, who looked behind her and seemed to be looking for something.
Although she didn't move much at the time and tried her best to conceal her movements, Su Ningxin, as a secret guard, could easily see through her little tricks.
Now she bumped directly into Xiao An again, which was too much of a coincidence.
Concubine Yin, who was lying on the ground at this time, was also helped up by the maid. Her bun looked a little messy and her clothes were stained. It was not known whether she was injured or not.
Concubine Yin did not have an attack, but straightened her skirt and said softly, "She probably didn't mean it, I won't care."
She seemed to be very considerate and kind, but these words subtly confirmed the fact that Xiao An collided with her.
[Hey, you look like a high-level player.]Su Ningxin stood aside without speaking, just watching silently.
But the maid just now refused to comply and complained for Concubine Yin, "Concubine Concubine Yin, you are too kind-hearted and don't want to care about anything. Now even a maid dares to bully you."
"She didn't mean it, so don't be aggressive." Concubine Yin still dissuaded her softly.
The maid was even more domineering, "Why is this slave so aggressive? It's obvious that she is reckless and doesn't understand the rules, and she can only quibble. Such a maid will only get into trouble if she stays with the Crown Princess."
As she said this, she gave Concubine Yin an example, "Look at last time, Mrs. Ying's maid suddenly jumped out of the alley and startled Concubine Li. Mrs. Ying directly handed the maid over to Concubine Li for disposal.
Concubine Li demoted the maid to a rough girl, and asked the housekeeper to prepare a good one for Mrs. Ying. Now she is very effective in front of Mrs. Ying, and she is not like the previous maid who only caused trouble and offended her master. people. "
"I do remember this." Concubine Yin said softly.
Su Ningxin just watched with cold eyes as the master and servant sang in harmony. It was obviously a show for her.
[Want me to leave Xiao An to you? Your performance is too perfunctory.]
But this is understandable. After all, Su Ningxin has experienced a lot, and she has also been a beloved concubine for two years. She doesn't panic at all when things happen, and she won't let herself suffer.
But the people in the county palace didn't know her well. The only news they received was that she was a little girl who had just grown hair, and she seemed not to be favored. She was sent to a nunnery to grow up.
Most girls at this age don't know anything, and they are not raised by their mistress, so they probably don't have much knowledge, and they usually act cautiously.
And today in the back hall, she obeyed the princess's words, and she was completely distracted about the accounts, and she didn't seem to understand. Therefore, except Concubine Li, almost no one in the house took Su Ningxin seriously. .
Concubine Yin also had the same idea. She felt that such a little girl could make her follow the direction she led by just scaring her with alarmist words.
Moreover, this Crown Princess had just entered the palace on her first day and was not familiar with the environment. How could she really make enemies for herself by confronting herself, the concubine, over a little maid, so easily.
