Chapter 429 Gifts
The queen did this with good intentions. First, she couldn't bear Xiao Nan being embarrassed and humiliated by Wei Liangdi's mother and daughter. Second, she wanted to avoid conflicts between Xiao Nan and Ping An, and she didn't want the relationship between the two families to become more and more tense.

Xiao Nan understood the Queen's intentions, and immediately thanked him gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, Queen!"

Then, Xiao Nan went down to the East Palace accompanied by the maid.

In Xingqing Palace, Wei Liangdi was talking with her daughter in Ping An's bedroom.

After a month of recuperation, Ping An has already recovered, and all the scratches on his body have also healed, except for the shallow scar about two inches long on his forehead.

However, Wei Liangdi was still very worried, because the changes in Ping An were too great.

In the past, Ping An would vent out any unhappy things, whether it be cursing or beating, after venting, the anger will disappear, and then how to laugh and laugh, how happy and willful?
Now, Wei Liangdi found that her daughter suddenly became silent, even after being told that the scar on her forehead could never be removed, she just nodded calmly and didn't say a word of complaint or curse.

If the daughter has really grown up and matured, it would be fine if she knows how to hide her thoughts, but...Wei Liangdi has caught the glint of prey and coldness in Ping An's calm eyes several times.

That look was terrifying, even Wei Liangdi, a mother, was terrified when she saw it.

So, these days, Wei Liangdi went to Ping An's room when she had nothing to do, chatted with her, and tried to enlighten her, lest her daughter might not think about it and do something drastic.

As for why Ping An has such a huge change, Wei Liangdi also thought about it, but she didn't know that her daughter even hated her and the crown prince in her heart, she just thought that Ping An hated Xiao Nan, but she couldn't vent her anger, and she The scar on her forehead couldn't be removed, and the little girl couldn't think about it for a while.

"...Tomorrow we should set off for Mount Li. We went to Tangquan Palace. Auntie will accompany you to soak in the hot spring." Wei Liangdi sat on the main seat, held Ping An's hand, and said softly.

Ping An's expression was very calm, oh no, to be precise, he should have no expression.

She let Wei Liangdi rub the back of her hand, and after a while, she interrupted: "Aniang, I'm fine, you don't have to come to comfort me all the time. Heck, it's just that there is a scar on my head, and the makeup is thicker That's it. Besides, I'm already engaged, and the funeral ceremony is only postponed until October, and it's not that I'm being divorced, so you don't have to worry about me being unable to get married."

There was a pause in the cool voice, Ping An pulled the corners of his mouth, revealed a sneering smile, and said in a low voice: "Even if my whole face is ruined, their family would not dare to resign, hehe, I am the daughter of a dignified prince! "

The words "the daughter of the dignified prince" are often on the lips of Ping An.

But at this moment, upon hearing this familiar words, Wei Liangdi couldn't help shivering, she seemed to have thought of something, and her heart was as startled and uncertain as a stormy sea.

After a long time, Wei Liangdi murmured and asked: "Are you still blaming A Niang for being useless? Failure to avenge you, let you vent your anger?"

The daughter's phrase 'the daughter of a dignified prince' is obviously full of sarcasm. She is blaming her parents. Her father is the future heir, the second most noble person in the world, but she is crushed to death by the daughter of a princess. Woohoo, No wonder Ping An's temperament changed overnight.

Seeing that Wei Liangdi's face was full of sorrow and guilt, Ping An suddenly smiled brightly, put her arms around her arm, and said coquettishly, "Aunt, how could I blame you? You are the person who loves me the most in this world."

Hearing this, Wei Liangdi's expression finally softened, she patted the back of her daughter's hand lightly, and corrected her daughter's mistakes: "And you, Aye, he loves you very much. I have to inquire about your condition every day, and specially told the imperial physician to take good care of you..."

Wei Liangdi's voice paused, she stretched out her hand to support her daughter's chin, looked into her eyes, and said firmly: "For the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the heart of the saint and empress, you, Aye, did not punish Xiao Shi, and he was very sorry for your injury. It hurts, but now I can only endure it, so, my child, don't blame you, Aye, and don't feel resentful towards him."

Ping An met her mother's eyes, and the mother and daughter looked at each other for a while, then Ping An nodded slowly, and said with a forced smile: "Look at what Aunt said, I, how could I blame Aye. I was reckless this time, I almost caused trouble for Aye, I am already very happy if Aye is not angry with me, how can I be resentful?!"

Wei Liangdi spent half of her life in the harem, how could she not see her daughter's insincere words, she sighed slightly in her heart, but said nothing.

At this moment, a palace maid outside the door reported, "Liang Di, Princess, the Princess of Xiangcheng is here!"

"Who's here?" Wei Liangdi raised her head, the helplessness in her eyes was wiped away, replaced by a serious coldness: "But Mrs. Xiao is here?"

Ping An also sat upright, staring at the door with burning eyes, as if her big enemy would walk in from outside the door in the next moment.

It wasn't Xiao Nan who came in, but the little maid, she first saluted respectfully, and then said back: "Just now the little maid at the gate of the palace came to report quietly, saying that the princess of Xiangcheng came to visit the princess and brought a lot of things Make an apology."

"Hmph, who cares about her things!" Ping An said with a cold snort.

Wei Liangdi showed a smile on the other hand, she spoke from her heart, it was a good time, she was about to teach Xiao Shi a lesson, to vent her anger on her daughter first.Now Mrs. Xiao came to the door by herself, Princess Xiangcheng, hmph, that is a rare visitor, she must "entertain" him well.

Wei Liangdi has lived in the harem for many years, and she is familiar with many insidious tricks that cannot be put on the table. With her methods, she has taught Xiao Nan a lesson, and she will never let people make mistakes in the open.

Besides, on the site of the Eastern Palace, even if she openly framed Xiao Nan, as long as there is no evidence, who can do anything to her? !
There was a flash of light in Wei Liangdi's eyes, she already had a 'smart plan' in her mind, she secretly estimated the time, turned her head to call the two maids close to her, and whispered something in a low voice.

The two maids were Wei Liangdi's confidantes, they helped her with a lot of private matters, and after listening to the master's order, they left immediately.

After finishing the arrangements, Wei Liangdi smiled and said to Pingan: "My dear girl, just watch and see how Auntie can help you vent your anger!"

Knowing what her mother did, Ping An nodded with excitement in her eyes, "Well, I knew Auntie loved me the most."

The two maids are very efficient and will be ready in a short while.

Wei Liangdi nodded secretly, very good, everything is ready now, only owed to the 'righteous master'.

However, Wei Liangdi missed one thing, no matter how high her position in the East Palace is, no matter how much she is above all concubines and concubines on weekdays, she is not a crown princess.

Although Xiao Nan came to visit Ping An on purpose, according to the rules, she still had to go to pay her respects to the real mistress of Xingqing Palace first.

Therefore, at this moment, Xiao Nan is chatting with the mother and daughter of the Crown Princess Su in the side hall where the Crown Princess Su lived.

Su Shi casually knelt on the main seat, Jiaojiao leaned against her side, both mother and daughter were very relaxed, even Xiao Nan didn't sit squatting, but sat more casually on the single couch at the lower right side .

"Speaking of which, is it the first time for Qiao Mu to go back to Mount Li to escape the summer heat?" Su asked softly, rubbing her Jiaojiao's head lightly.

"The princess remembers it right. When Tangquan Palace was completed, I happened to go back to Luoyang with my husband to observe the filial piety. After returning, I caught up with the production. Therefore, my family's Tangquan Villa in Lishan has been completed for four or five years. I have not seen it with my own eyes. Let alone soaking in hot springs."

Xiao Nan held the mentality of 'whatever the guest wants to do', since the Crown Princess behaved so casually, no matter what she said or did, she did not treat her like an outsider, so Xiao Nan should not be too rigid, saying I couldn't help but joke a few words when I spoke.

The Su Clan is very satisfied with Xiao Nan's performance. Now that the crown prince's position is stable, the internal struggle in the East Palace is also quietly unfolding.

Among the prince's many women, she occupies the status and the friendship between husband and wife, but that's all.

Based on the patriarchal clan, the prince respects the concubine the concubine as his first wife, but he doesn't cherish and dote on him. When it comes to the relationship between men and women, the prince prefers Wei Liangdi.

The husband's heart is not on her, which makes Su very uncomfortable and uneasy at the same time.

What makes her even more disturbed is that she has no sons, but the lowly maid surnamed Wei has three sons.

In addition, the crown prince has several concubines who have children. Although they are not as favored as Wei Liangdi, they are still a threat to the crown princess.

It's ironic to say that the ancient kings all strictly required their subjects to abide by the patriarchal clan and rules, and pay attention to the concubines, elders and children, but the harem was the one with the least rules and the least respect for concubines.

The Su family knew very well that if she did not have a son, even if she became a queen in the future, she would not be guaranteed eternal honor.For the women in the harem, only when she becomes the empress dowager and the emperor is her own son can she be considered a real victory, and she no longer has to worry about being deposed or given to death.

Now that the crown prince is not in the right position yet, various forces have started to seize territory in the East Palace. Su can see clearly that every woman who has a son has one or several forces behind her, and those people and her natal family are also All kinds of open and secret battles are going on, although the actions are not big, but it has already made Su feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, the Su family had to seek more help. Apart from winning over important officials in the court, she also had to win the support of the clan, princesses, and princes. In order to seek more support, she became more and more approachable.

After hearing Xiao Nan's words, Su Shi covered her mouth and smiled, followed her voice, and teased: "Hehe, don't be annoyed, you can leave for Mount Li today, when you arrive at Mount Li, if your hot spring If you don’t have fun in the pool, you come to my place, just to play with Jiaojiao.”

Jiaojiao hurriedly echoed: "Aniang is right, there is a hot spring in my small courtyard, and the imperial doctor said that soaking in it often is good for your health. Sister, when you come to Mount Li, you must come to my place to try it. "

"Okay," Xiao Nan nodded with a smile, then changed the topic, and said, "Speaking of being good for your health, I brought something with me today—"

Saying that, Xiao Nan winked at Yuzan behind him.

Yuzan understood, and held a wooden box in both hands and sent it to the crown prince's bed.

Xiao Nan continued: "This thing is very good. The Crown Princess uses one cup every day to nourish her body. At the beginning, before my mother gave birth, she insisted on drinking it for several months..."
