Resourceful beauty

Chapter 43 Please seal
Coming out of Baiyun Temple, Fang Ruyu's face remained pale, thinking that she was frightened by the ferocious faces of the bodhisattvas in the main hall, Su Yuan softly coaxed her a few words.

After getting into the carriage and walking to the capital, Su Yuan couldn't help but change her expression when she heard Fang Ruyu say the words Fang Ruxuan said when she kowtowed to Buddha.

"What else did she say?"

Su Yuan grabbed Fang Ruyu's arm and asked.

Shaking her head, Fang Ruyu looked at her mother with trembling lips, "Mother, isn't she really suspicious?"

Su Yuan was not sure, but she was worried that her daughter's guilt would be revealed, so she coaxed her: "Impossible. She was only very old at that time. Besides, Su Xin's illness has been dragging on for so many years. So many doctors have been invited into the mansion. Said she was exhausted? How could she think of us?"

"It must be the eldest aunt..."

Talking to herself, Su Yuan said in a low voice: "I just feel that that old hag has no good intentions and always takes Ruxuan to the Su residence. She must have something in her heart. She didn't like me back then, I always dislike me, but now that her daughter is dead and I am the second concubine, how can she not think too much?"

A little flustered in her heart, but worried that her panic would make her daughter even more uncertain, Su Yuan raised her hand and gently stroked Fang Ruyu's temple hair, and said softly: "Yu'er, when I did that back then, my mother did it for you and your younger siblings. Concubine Fang is the most favored, and she is the daughter of a big family in Jiangbei. If the mother hadn't prepared early, maybe she would be the second concubine now. Besides, there are so many young and beautiful women in the palace, you If father is moved, the consequences will be disastrous."

Now, she is the second concubine, and her children can be regarded as descendants, all thanks to the gift of that day.

Su Yuan has no regrets.

"Mom, I'm afraid..."

Fang Ruyu leaned in her mother's arms, only feeling a chill in her body.

After Su Xin's illness, the soups and medicines and meals she imported were all very delicate. Su Yuan couldn't do anything if she wanted to do it.

Deliberately angering King Qi, he was punished by King Qi to kneel down, causing Su Xin to plead for mercy. Then, taking advantage of the crowds in the room, and when Mother Yun predicted that they would not have the guts to relax their vigilance, Fang Ruyu opened the food box, and with the help of holding the medicine bowl, After a while, a little bit of Hedinghong hidden in the nails was dissolved in the medicine.

Although it's only as small as a fingernail, Su Xin's body has long been exhausted, and the poison of the crane's crimson is only a moment for her to die from the poison.

Su Xin probably never thought that her sister, who she had taken care of for so many years and pleaded for love the day before, would kill her.

In Fang Ruyu's arms, Fang Ruyu trembled slightly, and her hands were as cold as water. While Su Yuan hated herself for letting her daughter get involved with her obsession back then, she also felt that she was not up to anything. This kind of thing that could not be found out, I also scared myself out of my wits.

"She is dead, and the medicine bowls from back then have been disposed of long ago. Now they have suspicions and no evidence. Can Dali Temple still rely on other people's guesses to convict her? Good boy, don't think too much, Go back and drink some calming medicine to take good care of yourself, and you will be fine in a few days, huh?"

Su Yuan deliberately coaxed gently.

When she entered the palace and got off the carriage at the second gate, Fang Ruyu still looked a little lost, but Su Yuan, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, and carefully instructed Fang Ruyu's maid to serve her back to Lishui Pavilion.

Fang Ruxuan already knew the answer in her heart, and she didn't want to scare the snake any more, so she went to the Yixin Hall to greet her, and then planned to return to Shuyuxuan.

She didn't notice that behind her, Su Yuan's eyes were deep and frightening, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter in the dark night.

On the second day, Su Yuan handed over the sign and entered the palace again.

In Yongshou Palace, the Queen Mother looked at Su Yuan and asked with concern: "I heard that Yu'er is not feeling well?"

The Empress Dowager knew what happened last night early this morning?
Su Yuan was startled, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "After running around for a day, maybe she was tired, so my concubine let her rest. It's okay. In a few days, my concubine will bring her to pay your respects."

The Empress Dowager smiled, noncommittal, showing tiredness after just a cup of tea.

It's not good to ask the Queen Mother directly, Su Yuan exited the Yongshou Palace with some embarrassment, thought for a while, and went straight to Ningkang Palace.

"Ma'am, after all, Yu'er is still your cousin. According to common sense, the young lady of the prince's family will be named princess after Jiji. My family's Yu'er and Ji happened to be in Jiangbei that year, and the court did not have a favor, so we delayed it like this." Yes. Please take pity on your empress, and say this in front of the queen mother and empress empress."

Su Yuan looked at Su Xianfei flatteringly and asked.

Concubine Su Xian is 19 years old this year. In the first year of Ruian's first year, she entered the palace after being drafted. In the second year, she gave birth to the second princess. Her favor is not the most outstanding among the many concubines in the palace, but she is not in the wrong place either. Later, Emperor Rui'an would visit her Ningkang Palace several times a month.

The women in the palace all stared at the concubine who was favored by the emperor. Concubine Su Xian was so unobtrusive, so naturally she would not be stared at by them, and because she gave birth to the second princess, she deserved the honor, Whether it's the concubines or the House of Internal Affairs, they will all be respectful.

People inside the bureau naturally couldn't detect it, but the queen mother, queen, and people outside the palace could all see that Concubine Su Xian was a smart person.

At her age, being able to have the position of a virtuous concubine of the second grade, and also gave birth to a princess, her future honor is indescribable.

That's why Su Yuan had to beg her.

Concubine Su Xian took a sip of tea, with an impeccable smile on her face, "Of course I understand what my aunt means. But the seal of the princess is naturally supervised by officials from the Ministry of Rituals. Has my aunt ever thought about it, even if it is Everyone in the palace has forgotten, and the people in the Ministry of Rituals have also forgotten? This is their duty..."

Concubine Su Xian spoke slowly, Su Yuan pondered the meaning of her words, and asked a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, what do you mean is that the emperor won't give this princess the title?"

Uncompromising, Concubine Su Xian raised her eyes to look at Su Yuan, and in turn persuaded her: "Aunt, it's better to stay calm. There are some things that can't be forced. It's yours, and it will come to you in the end, isn't it?" Yours, you just forced it, maybe you even touched a face full of ashes, why bother?"

Easier said than done.

With a cold snort in her heart, seeing Concubine Su Xian who was smiling like a flower, Su Yuan felt that she was not so amiable.

After leaving Ningkang Palace, Su Yuan went to Fengyi Palace without giving up.

The Empress's attitude is much better than that of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Su Xian. No matter when, she always has a dignified smile on her face, which makes people respect spontaneously.

Mentioning her purpose of coming cryptically, Su Yuan cautiously looked at the queen.

The queen smiled and said: "Perhaps the people in the Ministry of Rituals were negligent. I will ask someone to ask what's going on in a while."

After finishing speaking, the queen changed her voice and asked Fang Ruyu, "I heard that Ruyu is not feeling well now?"

What I said in Yongkang Palace, Su Yuan said it again, the empress looked sympathetic, and hurriedly ordered the maids around her to fetch some high-quality bird's nest blood swallows and bring them back to Su Yuan.

Seeing the queen like this, Su Yuan was secretly happy. Before her joy passed, she saw the queen sighing softly: "A year ago, I heard that she was ill, and she was sent to rest for a few days, but now she feels unwell again, really. It should be adjusted well."

Su Yuan nodded yes, and said, "Thank you, Empress, for your concern." The next moment, the Empress said to a female official beside her, "Why hasn't that monkey Song Qian come into the palace these days?"

"Your Majesty, Master Shizi went out to hunt in the city, did you forget?"

The lady officer replied.

When Song Qian was mentioned, the empress beamed with joy. She obviously loved her nephew very much, "This kid just likes to mess around. Let's see if he can change his temper after we get married."

Seeing the queen mentioning the son of the Marquis of Anyuan, Su Yuan didn't dare to answer for a while, but the queen said to herself: "Song Qian is the son of the Marquis of Anyuan, and in the future, the concubine of the prince will take care of the middle class of the Marquis. To take care of the housework inside and out, this person has to be selected carefully, not only must he be physically fit, but also be handsome and intelligent, oh yes, the most important thing is to catch the eyes of that monkey Song Qian."

"Isn't it? This is good, and the young couple will have a good life in the future. The empress really loves the son."

The female officer agreed with a smile.

The two master and servant seemed to be chatting, but they revealed the meaning of the queen, and Su Yuan felt a chill in her heart.

It's just an excuse whether you're resting or you're not feeling well, but now, to ruin this good marriage that Su Yuan had been thinking about for nothing, is it shooting yourself in the foot?
Thinking like this, when Su Yuan came out of Fengyi Palace again, she would feel a little distraught and lonely.

Compared with the title of princess, she would rather her daughter have a good marriage. In a woman's life, what could be more important than a happy marriage and a husband she likes?

At this moment, thinking about Mrs. Miao's disdainful gaze and Concubine Su Xian's indifferent smile, Su Yuan realized that she had been jumping up and down these days, and in the end, it was nothing to fetch water from the bamboo basket.

No, at least he still has the title of princess, which cannot be matched by Prince Anyuan Hou. There are good men from other families in the capital, and there will always be a suitable one.

Fang Ruyu's eyes were red when she heard the empress' hint from her mother. Thinking of Song Qian's gentle smile under the peach tree, Fang Ruyu felt her heart ache as if it was broken.

In the afternoon, the steward went to Yixin Hall to deliver a message, saying that a father-in-law from the House of Internal Affairs came to announce the decree, and asked the princess to go over to receive the decree.

Thinking that Fang Ruyu's order to become the princess had arrived, Su Yuan coaxed Fang Ruyu softly, and took Concubine Wu and several ladies to the front yard to receive the order.

It was a face-to-face father-in-law from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Seeing that the incense table had been set up and everyone was kneeling in front of them, the eunuch unfolded the bright yellow scroll and read aloud: "Fang Ruxuan, the daughter of King Qi, is gentle and gentle, with a pure nature. She is now named Princess Xuanyi, and I respect you."

After reading, the eunuch handed the scroll to Fang Ruxuan, who thanked her, and said with a smile: "My slave congratulates Princess Xuanyi. Tomorrow, the princess will be invited to enter the palace to thank you."

"I have Mr. Lao..."

Fang Ruxuan took the purse from Ding Xiang and handed it over.

Behind them, Su Yuan and Fang Ruyu's faces turned pale, both in disbelief.

　You can't live by committing crimes... Ruxuan has appointed the Princess, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, bring me the congratulatory gifts.
