Resourceful beauty

Chapter 145 Su Yuan's Ambition

As night fell, in the inner hall of Yixin Hall, Su Yuan had her hair loose, looking at her lonely face in the mirror, she couldn't help thinking of the sad scene in the afternoon.

Before dinner, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Su Yuan asked King Qi in a good voice, what would happen to Fang Ruhui when the marriage in the Jingning Hou Mansion was hopeless, but King Qi said it was no big deal. Is Lu Qiao a good boy?

Su Yuan felt that it was a chicken talking to a duck.

Seeing that it was already the first month, on the eighth day of the second lunar month, Fang Ruhui was old enough.

May I ask, which girl didn't get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and only waited to get married when she was young?How did it happen to his own daughter, seeing that there is no hope of getting married soon?
She just felt that even her husband and son-in-law, whom she depended on wholeheartedly, could no longer be relied upon. Su Yuan was so desperate that she had never felt before.

Looking at Mother Zhao who was looking at her worriedly in the mirror, Su Yuan asked softly, "Where is your lord? Where did you rest tonight?"

"It's in the Nuanxiang Hall of Concubine Shen."

Mother Zhao replied, guessing what Su Yuan meant: "Wangfei, don't worry, even if Concubine Shen knows how to plan again, Miss Seven can't surpass Miss Fifth and Miss Six, not to mention Miss Six is ​​still the princess, her marriage Undecided, Miss Seven's side, the prince will not plan to get up so soon."

Feeling relieved, Su Yuan sighed, and said with a sad face, "What can Huier do..."

"Princess, don't worry. There are young talents from other families in the brochure. Let's take a closer look and see if there is a suitable one."

Zhao Nanny smiled and comforted Su Yuan.

I'm used to eating bird's nest, so I bring out some eight-treasure porridge, no matter how good-looking it is, can it be the same?

Among the candidates in the booklet, apart from Song Qian who couldn't make it, among others, Lu Qiao was the best match. Now it is absolutely impossible to find someone who is similar to Lu Qiao from it, otherwise, It will never appear in that booklet, waiting to be chosen by myself.

Feeling helpless, Su Yuan couldn't help but blame King Qi.

If it wasn't for him, how could my three sons have ended up in such a situation?
The husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew separately when the disaster was imminent. At this moment, Su Yuan only complained about Qi Wang's carelessness. After the treason and collaborating with the enemy that year, the entire Qi Wang Mansion fell into the current situation, but she never thought about it. Many years ago, How much glory and wealth she has enjoyed.

And what she did to King Qi was taken for granted in Su Yuan's eyes at the moment, and she even secretly hated that King Qi was not as ambitious as King Lu.

"Mommy, tell me, if things come to fruition in those years, what will we look like today?"

Su Yuan turned around and asked Mother Zhao.

Surprised on the face, Zhao mama looked at Su Yuan reproachfully, while walking cautiously to the screen and looking out.

In the main hall, Qiu Tong and Qiu Shuang were waiting. They only waited for Su Yuan to speak, and then they came in to serve her to rest. Most of the servants outside the hall had gone back to their rooms to rest at this moment, and there was no possibility that the walls had ears.

Feeling relieved, Mother Zhao walked back to Su Yuan's side and whispered, "Princess, don't say such things in the future. You know how much was involved in the incident back then. The master promised, who I don't know if it will be fulfilled. It's not easy for Prince Qi's mansion to have what it is today, but it can't stand the slightest trouble."

Su Yuan turned her head and sneered and said, "Trouble? Why did Prince Qi's mansion ever go through such a hassle?"

Thinking about the affluence and luxury of the Jiangbei period, Su Yuan said coldly: "Today's Prince Qi's Mansion is not as good as one-tenth of what it used to be. After a long time of tossing around, it is getting worse."

Knowing that Su Yuan was on the tip of her horns at this moment, no matter how much she said, it would be in vain, Mammy Zhao sighed and stopped answering, stepped forward to pick up the mahogany comb from the dressing table, and combed Su Yuan's hair gently.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Su Yuan stared at herself in the bronze mirror for a long time.

Recalling the events of her childhood, Su Yuan showed a gentle smile, "The first time I saw him was in the Su Mansion, and I knew that he was King Qi, whom the Holy Majesty relied on the most, and the future husband-in-law of my cousin. I just thought, why is there such a big difference between this person and the fate of a person? Why is she the daughter of the Su family? Just because she is a descendant, she wants to marry the prince, and I am a concubine, so I will marry her For a poor scholar with no foundation?"

"Marry those poor scholars, and follow them to poor rural areas for more than ten or twenty years. If you have connections, you may be able to come back and become a fourth- or fifth-rank Beijing official. If you don't have connections, you may die of old age. I, Su Yuan How can I live like that? Fortunately, my mother made my wish come true. Even though I am a concubine, being a concubine for the prince is much better than that wife who doesn't know how high the rank of the official family is."

Even if she was only a side concubine, Su Yuan had a comfortable life during those years when she was married to Jiangbei.

The cousin is a concubine, and she is kind, so she will not suppress her to death. Compared with the other concubines and concubines, her life is much easier.

However, how can a side concubine satisfy her?

After calculating for so long, finally, she got her wish and became Princess Qi.

When Su Yuan received the secret letter from that person, it was not that Su Yuan was shocked, but compared to the monstrous wealth she was about to get, she was willing to give it a go.

Who knows, it will be defeated.

Today, she is still Princess Qi, but looking back, she is not as good as before.

In the Jiangbei period, no matter who saw him, he would kowtow in reverence and respect. The gifts received during the festivals were dazzling.

Back in the capital, because of the suspicion of the current emperor, she didn't even dare to spend her birthday extravagantly, and the unsatisfactory marriage of her children made her feel even more obscure.

Just imagine, King Qi held a heavy army back then, if he had the ambition of King Lu, maybe now he would not be humiliated to live in Yixin Palace, but in Fengyi Palace within the palace walls.

Why would even a person like King Lu who has no military power or backing dare to sit on the throne, while King Qi has both military strength and financial resources, but he dare not even think about it?

The more she thought about it, the more helpless she felt. Su Yuan felt more and more that what she did was correct.

"You said, the prince's jade pendant can really play such a big role?"

Su Yuan asked Mother Zhao.

Zhao Nanny shook her head, "I don't understand the things outside. However, since the master has put so much thought into it, it can be seen that it is useful."

Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that it's useful. If he succeeds in the future, why should I count it as the first achievement?"

Su Yuan forgot that she was just a girl, no matter how great her contribution was, she was still just a princess, and she couldn't do much tricks.

"Princess, it's getting late, let's rest early. Tomorrow will start, and the banquets in the mansion will be held one after another. By then, you will still be busy."

Zhao mama put down the mahogany comb and persuaded.

Withdrawing her thoughts of not knowing where she had gone, Su Yuan nodded.

The night is deep.

In Shu Yuxuan, there were still two candles burning on the candlestick in the corner, Fang Ruxuan leaned on the soft pillow, and said to the kapok leaning on the soft couch: "You used to travel around outside, you can be considered a lot of knowledge. , have you ever seen a snow-white elk?"

On New Year's Eve, I learned from Fang Ruxuan that the auspiciousness offered by King Lu was a pair of pure white elk. Seeing that Fang Ruxuan was still suspicious at this moment, Kapok shook her head, "Don't say I saw it, I have never heard of it, so I can't blame the Holy Majesty for being so happy." Well, maybe I really thought it was a gift from God."

Although he hadn't seen it, Kapok also felt that there was something strange about this auspiciousness.

Fang Ruxuan thought of something else.

Northern Ning is close to the Udal tribe. Udal is an endless prairie, and the growth environment of elk is such a vast grassland.

What if the pair of elk belonged to the Udal tribe?
I don't know why I came up with such an idea, but Fang Ruxuan intuitively believed that the purpose of King Lu's presenting a pair of auspicious omens at such an opportunity is definitely not simple.

After thinking about it, Fang Ruxuan fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, it was already the next morning.

Today, King Lu was going to have a banquet. Chen Mei was pregnant, but she didn't want to hand over the housework that had been sorted out so hard. Fang Ruxuan was bound to help her a little bit. She got up and cleaned up. Fang Ruxuan went to Qingfengzhai.

In the Yixin Hall at noon, Fang Ruxuan met King Lu.

Lu Wang was accompanied by two tall and thin attendants. Mu Mian concluded that the two men were excellent in martial arts after only one glance, and then saw that although Lu Wang looked like a full-fledged man with wine bags and rice bags, his eyes were exposed from time to time. Fang Ruxuan knew that King Lu was hiding something.

King Qi and King Lu are siblings, and now they seem to be friendly when they drink wine together, but who would have thought that King Lu has a sword in his heart, and King Qi has already seen through his plot?
She stayed in Prince Qi's mansion for a whole day before leaving. After King Lu left, Fang Ruxuan immediately called Mu Mian and asked her to find Chu Dong.

For someone like King Lu, Fang Ruxuan asked herself, if she only relied on kapok or mulberry mulberry leaves, if she wanted to follow them, she would only startle the snake, and Chu Dong was undoubtedly the best candidate.

Although Fang Ruxuan had some doubts about Chu Yuan's order, Chu Dong still happily complied with Chu Yuan's order before he left. Therefore, Fang Ruxuan learned at the sixth day that the two people beside King Lu had been together recently. Circling around Sifangzhai.

After more than a year of operation, experts in antiques in the capital probably guessed that Sifangzhai's prosperity is due to the masters behind it. Extraordinary value?

After seeing through the doorway, gradually, people paid a lot of money to come to the door, hoping that the gold abacus can make the fakes in their hands indistinguishable from the real ones, just like the antiques that circulated out of Sifangzhai in the past.

On the bright side, Jin Abacus is naturally refusing.

But in private, who would have trouble with money?

Gradually, Sifangzhai became more and more famous in the capital, but there were not many people who knew the inside story.

As soon as Lu Wangfu arrived in Beijing, he grasped such secret information. It can be seen that the dynamics in the capital did not miss a little bit because he was far away in Ningbei.

But now his people appeared near Sifangzhai, Fang Ruxuan felt that this was not accidental.
