Chapter 772 Friends or Relatives
"Our concubine is too lazy to worry about these things." Shangguan Yuan couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "These harem chores are actually taken care of by the prince. These few days are busy at court, and the young couple are not free , I’m just helping.”

Su Wenyue was taken aback for a moment, she didn't know what Shangguan Yuan meant when she said this, she just felt that the logic in it was beyond her comprehension.The prince is in charge of the chores in the harem, what about the princess?Is it possible to concentrate on going up?
And why is Shangguan Yuan's attitude so natural?She is an ordinary official's wife who doesn't even have a seal, not even a married woman. Even if her younger sister is a princess, she has no right to interfere in the affairs of the palace.

Su Wenyue used to live in the harem with the second prince for a period of time, and she could not be more clear about Empress Chen's rules, not to mention Shangguan Yuan's status, even when she was a concubine, Empress Chen would never tolerate her treating the palace. Pointing fingers at China's affairs, even talking behind their backs, can cause a mess, let alone someone like Shangguan Yuan intervening overtly.

But obviously, such a situation would not happen in the Eastern Palace. Looking at the maids in this courtyard, they all seemed to be accustomed to such scenes.Only Nanny Chen babbled a few words, and the content was just that she was afraid that Shangguan Yuan would waste too much energy.

Not only the people from the East Palace, but also the internal eunuch in charge of the Shangyi Bureau,
Su Wenyue thought about it carefully, she had only been in the palace for more than half a month, how could the situation in the palace change so quickly?

At this time, Su Wenyue couldn't help but feel a little regretful, feeling that there was something wrong with her itinerary for entering the palace. She originally planned to go to pay her respects to Concubine Li after seeing the princess, and then go to see the sick empress dowager before leaving the palace.

But now it seems that she should go to see Concubine Li first!

Shangguan Yuan looked at Su Wenyue's complex expression, smiled slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.She turned her head and told Lan Rui who was beside her, "Go to the Chongzheng Hall and see if the Crown Princess is still busy?"

Lan Rui promised to leave soon, while Shangguan Yuan looked at Su Wenyue with apologetic expression on her face: "I am sorry, elder sister, I know that you are going to the palace today to see the princess, but elder sister should also know about the recent situation in the court. Yes, the Crown Princess has been very busy recently, and today the Lords of the Shangshu are all here, I am afraid that the empress will not be able to escape from the Chongzheng Hall for a while, so please wait for a little longer with me, Eldest Sister."

Su Wenyue smiled at Shangguan Yuan, but felt a little awkward in her heart.Lord Shang Shu is here, so the Crown Princess is not free, this sounds really weird and weird.

"It's okay," she tried her best to suppress the strange feelings in her heart, and replied to Shangguan Yuan: "If the princess and concubine are not free, I will go and see the imperial grandmother and concubine mother first."

Shangguan Jing is indeed not free.

But when she heard that Su Wenyue was coming, she thought about it, and decided to find some time to meet her. She really wanted to hear what Su Wenyue wanted to say, and she didn't know how Grand Master Su explained to her.

So Shangguanjing simply and happily threw Wang Shangshu and Xiao Jingheng together in Chongzheng Hall, and ran to Zuochunfang's small courtyard by herself.

Su Qingyun originally wanted to follow her eldest sister into the palace, but Shangguan Jing didn't let him come.Who knows what Su Wenyue wants to do when she enters the palace, and avoid embarrassment if she doesn't see her!
However, to Shangguan Jing's surprise, after Su Wenyue saw her, she didn't say anything, she didn't even mention her purpose of entering the palace, she exchanged a few words with Shangguan Jing, and made a few gossips, mostly around Holding the unborn child in Shangguan Yuan's womb.

That's all, and within a quarter of an hour, she stood up and planned to leave, as if she really came into the palace purely to see her cousin who was about to give birth.

"The empress is very busy, so I don't want to delay here any longer." She told the Shangguan sisters like this: "It's getting late, I'm going to greet the emperor's grandmother and concubine mother, and I have to rush out of the palace. Say goodbye first."

"Concubine Jing," Shangguan Jing smiled: "Thinking about it, the two of us are really destined. I met you in Chen Chengxiang's villa in the suburbs of Beijing, and it has been nearly ten years now? I think, so For many years, we have gotten along pretty well, and we can be regarded as friends, if Princess Jing has something to say, she might as well say it directly, between friends, there is no need to pay too much attention."

Su Wenyue understood Shangguan Jing's words immediately.The princess is expressing goodwill to her, but the premise is that the princess is willing to treat her as a friend, not a relative.

Su Wenyue liked Shangguanjing's direct and unobtrusive attitude. To be honest, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Shangguanjing's words.

"It's really nothing else." Su Wenyue looked into Shangguan Jing's eyes and replied, "It's just that there are rumors outside that the empress was recently impeached by a joint letter from various states, and someone has created some kind of "Wan Min Shu". I'm a little worried." , I went into the palace to have a look. Seeing that the empress is in good spirits, I am relieved, naturally there is nothing else to do."

Talk to smart people and worry free!Shangguan Jing nodded with a smile, and made a more straight ball: "It's rare for Grand Master Su to think about his mistakes at home and care so much about the situation in the DPRK and China. I hope that Princess Jing will tell Grand Master Su that my palace is very good, but it's just a mere impeachment. A little thing is not enough to make me restless. I never feel that I have done anything wrong. Since I came to court, I have issued a series of decrees. I think I have never done anything that would bring disaster to the country and the people."

"On the contrary, the courtiers outside, women going to the court to be regents, made them panic, which surprised me very much. In their words, Bengong is just a female class who can't get on the stage. Don't they think that the imperial examination is the end of the land? Is a scholar always better than a woman? Why panic?!"

Hearing Shangguan Jing's words, Su Wenyue was taken aback for a moment, but Shangguan Yuan laughed unabashedly: "Yeah, what are you panicking about?! Maybe it's because they are afraid that all the smart heads of all the adults in the court will not be able to compete with each other." My little sister? Why don't all the big men who stand up to the sky don't even have this bit of self-confidence?"

The conversation between the Shangguan sisters made Su Wenyue dizzy.

As a girl raised and brought up carefully by Mrs. Su herself, Su Wenyue has always been a standard noble lady in Beijing, a perfect and impeccable princess.

Her values ​​are the mainstream values ​​of the Great Zhou Dynasty today, and her criteria for identifying a good woman are also in line with the mainstream concepts.Before today, she always felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

She didn't want to get involved in the princess concubine's going to court, just because she didn't want to be nosy, and she didn't want to offend Shangguan Jing who had always been friendly to her, that's all.This doesn't mean she thinks Shangguanjing is doing the right thing.

 --- Here is the quiet dividing line ---
  Jingjing's attitude towards Su Wenyue is very clear: I like you very much, and I would like to treat you as a friend, but Donggong and Su's family are not relatives.

  Thanks to Yun Qingqing, Pili Mu, and the whole city who love oo's daily dried fish! !
