Resourceful beauty

Chapter 13
"Princess, I feel wronged that you live here. After a while, you can live in the main hall."

Waking up early in the morning, seeing Su Yuan's complexion was not good, the wet nurse Zhao who had served her for many years said pleasantly.

Su Yuan is currently living in the Nuanxiang Hall of the East Side Hall. The hall is magnificently decorated. If it were said in the past, she would be happy. However, she has been a step-concubine for several years, and now she can be regarded as the legitimate Princess Qi, but in Jiangbei Whether it's Prince Qi's mansion, or returning to the capital now, they are still relegated to the side hall, and if it spreads out, it will inevitably be despised by others.

When he was in Jiangbei, Su Yuan often whispered in King Qi's ear, but King Qi readily agreed to other things, but he didn't let go of the matter of moving the palace. Sleeve went out to Concubine Wu or Concubine Shen.

As time passed, Su Yuan gradually realized that in King Qi's heart, Su Xin might always have Su Xin's place, so even if Su Xin died, the position of the main hall, and even the position of the main concubine, would always belong to Su Xin. There is no substitute.

When thinking about it like this, Su Yuan's teeth itch with hatred every time.

At this moment when the close nurse said so, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little happy, "Yes, after going through such a catastrophe, everything has to start from the beginning. I will live in the capital from now on, the prince will not give me face , it is said that he himself will lose face."

After finishing speaking, Su Yuan showed a little satisfaction on her face.

After dressing up and dressing up, it was just after [-] o'clock, and the sky outside was still cloudy.

There were soft footsteps, and the servant girl Qiu Tong came in to report, "Princess Wang, Concubine Wu, Concubine Shen Shu and several young ladies have come to greet you."

Hearing this, Su Yuan suppressed her smile and nodded lightly.

He got up and left the inner hall, just sat down on the warm couch at the top, when the curtain was lifted, Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen walked in slowly, followed by Fang Ruyu and four others.

King Qi has two sons and five daughters, arranged in order.

The eldest son Fang Zhengjun, the second daughter Fang Ruyu, the third son Fang Zhengru, and the four, five, six, seven and four young ladies are Fang Ruhua, Fang Ruhui, Fang Ruxuan and Fang Rulan.

Leaving aside the deceased concubine, Su Yuan gave birth to one son and two daughters in the inner house of Prince Qi's mansion, and she was the only eldest among all the concubines.

"Greetings to the princess..."

"Greetings to mother/princess..."

Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen bowed their knees to salute, and the four girls behind them also bowed down together. Originally, the ladies all called their mother's voice, but it was particularly abrupt because of Fang Ruxuan's "Princess".

Su Yuan turned a deaf ear, called out affectionately, and each gave a seat.

Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui were Su Yuan's biological children. After getting up, they sat on the soft stool next to Su Yuan. Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen sat on the armchairs below Su Yuan, one on the left and the other on the right. For the daughters Fang Ruhua and Fang Rulan, for a while, Fang Ruxuan, who was sitting alone on the other side of Su Yuan, seemed out of place.

On the other hand, Fang Ruxuan looked calm, and didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all.

Looking past Fang Ruxuan's face, Su Yuan turned to Concubine Shen and asked, "My sister has always been in poor health, but now she lives in that remote Xilan Pavilion, is she still used to it?"

The woman who was asked about was in her early thirties, with simple and elegant makeup and modest jewelry. Even so, she still couldn't hide the scholarly aura on her body, as well as the faint elegance and nobility.

This is concubine Shen Jiaying.

Shen Jiaying's parents died early, and her grandfather had been an official all her life. He was still only a seventh-rank sesame official until his death. However, he taught the only granddaughter well.

Because of her family background, no one from Shen Jiaying came to propose marriage until Jiji, and those who came to the door all took a fancy to her outstanding appearance and wanted to hire her back as a concubine.

How could Shen Jiaying's grandparents marry their well-raised granddaughter to someone else to raise them up?One to two to go, so delayed.

When her grandfather passed away, Shen Jiaying kept her filial piety for another three years. After this delay, she became a 20-year-old girl.

Until I met King Qi.

When she met King Qi, Shen Jiaying didn't know his identity, but when she knew about him, her love was so deeply rooted that it was hard to extricate herself.

Convincing the tearful grandmother with tears in her eyes, Shen Jiaying wore a red hijab and was carried into Prince Qi's mansion on a bridal sedan chair, becoming Prince Qi's concubine.

Concubine Shen has a weak temperament and has never been competitive. When the concubine Su Xin was still there, she took care of her a lot. Even so, Su Yuan and Concubine Wu often bullied her secretly. Later, Concubine Shen hurt her after giving birth to her daughter Fang Rulan. Su Yuan let her go after losing her body, having nothing to do for so many years, and King Qi's favor is no longer what it used to be.

Hearing Su Yuan's question, Concubine Shen thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, Concubine Wang, for caring, I have old problems all over my body, I just need to take care of it calmly, it's fine."

It's just a matter of saving face, Su Yuan doesn't care if she is doing well or not.

Nodding her head, she sighed softly and said, "I'm afraid I'll be in the capital for the rest of my life. The Xilan Pavilion is cold and humid, which is not good for my sister's health. When the weather warms up in spring, I'll go and ask the prince for instructions. Let you move to Nuanxiang Palace, this place is much better than Xilan Pavilion."

With that said, Su Yuan's eyes fixed on Fang Ruxuan's face with a faint smile.

Is this the rhythm of wanting to move into Yixin Palace?

Guessing what Su Yuan was thinking, Fang Ruxuan was not surprised at all. In Su Yuan's eyes, she was inexplicably flustered by that calmness.

She gave her an annoyed sideways glance, and the phrase "Princess" she called just now rang in her ears, and a trace of anger surged in Su Yuan's heart.

Before she could say anything, a servant girl's voice came from outside the door, "Princess, the lord sent someone to ask, are you ready? We're leaving in a quarter of an hour."

Today is the first day of the new year, and I want to enter the palace to pay my respects to the queen mother, the emperor, and all the empresses in the harem.

Looking back at Qiu Tong, when she went out to respond, Su Yuan said "Let's go now", got up and led a group of people out of Nuanxiang Hall.

Outside the gate of the palace, three carriages were waiting quietly, King Qi and Fang Zhengjun each leading their own horses.

Su Yuan boarded the first carriage with her children, and Concubine Wu and Concubine Shen also boarded the next two carriages in turn. Standing outside the gate, Fang Ruxuan hesitated for a moment, and got into the carriage behind Fang Rulan.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of whipping, and the sound of the hooves of the horses fading away in the alley, and then, the wheels rolled, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

"Ruxuan, I made you suffer a few days ago..."

The tentacles were cool, Fang Ruxuan's hand was held by Concubine Shen, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Concubine Shen's apologetic eyes.

Fang Ruxuan knew that she felt guilty for not being able to take herself to escape the capture of officers and soldiers.

However, it happened suddenly, who would have thought of it?

Fang Ruxuan shook her head in relief, "Don't feel sorry for my mother, she treats you well, you deserve it, you don't have to treat me well, it just depends on whether I deserve it, okay?"

It was a bit of a mouthful to say a word, and Concubine Shen's eyes were a little surprised.

Obviously, she understood Fang Ruxuan's words.

However, Fang Ruxuan is just a little girl, and she is only a few months older than her own Rulan. Now that Su Yuan is in charge of Prince Qi's mansion, it is clear that Su Yuan, mother and daughter don't treat her well. In the future, There are still hard days, what can she do?

And all I can do is to try my best to take care of her, so as not to let her live too miserable, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of Princess Su Xin back then.

Fang Ruxuan's words were noncommittal, Concubine Shen smiled lightly, and changed the topic by putting the hand stove in Fang Ruxuan's hand.

Fang Ruxuan pretended not to know, turned her head and smiled at the girl who was snuggling beside Concubine Shen.

That was Miss Seven Fang Rulan, she looked very much like Concubine Shen, delicate and weak, but her eyes were crystal clear and beautiful.

Seeing that she smiled at herself, she tilted her head on Concubine Shen's arm, and her eyes drooped to look at the pattern on her sleeves. Obviously she didn't want to talk to her, so Fang Ruxuan stopped her mouth, but in her heart, she didn't because This little awkwardness made me feel embarrassed.

Fang Ruxuan clearly remembered that in her previous life, when Su Yuan wanted to give her horoscope to the Qiu Mansion while her father was away, it was Fang Rulan who overheard and told her quickly, which led to what happened later.

Even if she couldn't escape the schemes of the Qiu Mansion in the end and became Qiu Ming's concubine in the end, Fang Ruxuan was still grateful for Fang Rulan's tip-off.

The future is long, and good people will always be rewarded.

Fang Ruxuan thought to herself.

After checking at the gate of the palace, the carriage stopped at the gate of the inner palace after half an hour.

Parting ways, King Qi took Fang Zhengjun and Fang Zhengru to Zhaoyang Palace to meet the Holy Majesty, and Su Yuan took the female relatives to Fengyi Palace.

The current empress comes from the residence of Song Zhongzheng, a cabinet scholar. She is the eldest granddaughter of Song Zhongzheng.

When Su Yuan and others arrived at Fengyi Palace, the queen had just had breakfast not long ago.

There was no joy or anger on the queen's face, so naturally she didn't know what the emperor's case would be, or what the final trial result of Dali Temple would be. Su Yuan's face was calm, but her heart became more and more disturbed.

When she came out of the palaces of Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, Concubine De and others, Su Yuan only felt that the palms of her hands were hot and humid, and the stickiness made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

As Sishi approached, it was time to go to Yongshou Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. Su Yuan looked up at the gray sky and took a deep breath.

When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, the female officer told the news that King Lu and Princess Lu were talking with the Queen Mother. Su Yuan smiled and stuffed a red envelope, but Fang Ruxuan's heart skipped a beat.

The late emperor had quite a lot of brothers, and now they each enshrined princes in their fiefs, and they were not allowed to enter Beijing unless they were summoned.

Only Fang Zhaozhi, the King of Lu, cried in front of the late Emperor several times because of the barren land. Later, when the late Emperor passed away, the King of Lu was too embarrassed to cry in front of his nephew. Nian Enzhun once, this year, King Lu returned to Beijing with his concubine and children.

There was an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, but she couldn't tell where it came from. Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips, followed Su Yuan with her head down, and entered the main hall together.
