Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 495 The Price Is Expensive
Rong Rong is leaning against the beauty in the water pavilion in Su Yue's backyard, looking at her with a new silk fan in her hand.

Miss An San was sitting next to her, while Miss Ning Fourth and Miss An Qi were standing by the table, unfolding a cloud, admiringly.

Su Yue sat at the tea table making tea, looked at them, and unconsciously raised the corner of her lower lip.

In the morning, she sent a gift to Marquis Huaining, Changningbo Mansion, Duke of Rongguo's Mansion, and in the afternoon, these people ran over at the same time.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but when they met, they were not unfamiliar at all. Rong Rong and Miss An Qi shouted directly to bring out the good things.

That attitude made her feel very comfortable.

"Sister Yue, the ones in the capital are so precious now, and you can double them." Miss An Qi put down Yunluo and went to look at Fei Yunsha again, and said with a smile.

There are three big boxes that Su Yue sent to Chang Ning Bo's house. Although Mrs. Chang Ning Bo and Mrs. Chang Er are away with Miss An Liu, it is not easy for them to open the boxes, but they also know that fashionable silk must be indispensable.

She came over to see it, just for fun, and to tell Su Yue that this kind of silk is the best gift in today's capital, so don't give it indiscriminately.

"Yeah, I don't know why, but now these things are much more expensive in the capital, as well as gems and pearls." Miss Ning Si also said: "Nowadays, they are all good things that can't be found."

Miss Ning San is already engaged, and the family is preparing a dowry for her. Because she is married to a scholarly family in Huai'an, Mrs. Huai Ning Hou originally wanted to make a few more sets of pearl south red jewelry (Qinggui), but found that the Not to mention the good ones, the price is still expensive.

But Su Yue's gift included a box of pearls and a box of Nanhong.

Seeing the gift, Mrs. Huaininghou asked her to come over quickly to thank her, and at the same time told Su Yue that this thing is precious, so don't give it away so generously.

"Really? But I didn't see any merchant ships along the way." Su Yue handed the brewed tea to Miss An San, and said, "I heard that the tariffs on the road are too heavy, and merchants in the south dare not transport them." The goods are coming up, probably because of this, there is a shortage of goods in the capital."

"The tariff is too heavy?" Miss An San asked puzzled.

"Well." Su Yue nodded and said: "It is the tax collected at the checkpoints when passing through. Anyone who brings more than a certain amount will be taxed. When I was in Hangzhou, I heard that there was a merchant fleet. When they arrived in Yangzhou, most of the goods were deducted for tax, and the merchant simply abandoned the fleet and went back, saying that if he went on, not only would the goods be gone, but he would have to pay them upside down.”

"There is such a thing?" Miss Ning Si wondered.

"Then you brought so many things, didn't you also pay a lot of money?" Miss An Qi put down the Feiyun Sha in her hand, sat down beside Su Yue and said.

A blush flashed across Su Yue's face, and she said, "I'm not... I'm... that..."

"She is the emperor's tea fairy, who dares to check her with something." Rong Rong put down the silk fan in her hand, and said in a deep voice, "You really don't know what happened in the palace?"

The girls fell silent.

Su Yue looked around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Of course she knew that something happened in the palace. After waking up this morning, Xie Jue told her the details of the matter, but naturally, she couldn't show that she knew.

Moreover, the reaction of Rong Rong and the girls was a bit strange.

"Last night, the Queen Mother called my grandmother into the palace, and she hasn't come back until now." Rong Rong said quietly: "This morning, the emperor did not go to court. At noon, there was news from the palace that it was The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is cancelled."

Su Yue blinked her eyes and pretended to be stupid: "Why?"

"The eleventh prince died, and the seventh prince was also seriously injured." Miss An San frowned slightly and said, "It is said that the two princes fell into the lake after drinking too much, but who would believe such a statement? It's a battle in the harem, according to what my father said, the Seventh Prince is probably not destined for the throne."

"Uh." Su Yue continued to play dumb: "Why?"

"In the palace, the eleventh prince and the seventh prince were drinking together. No matter what the truth is, the eleventh prince was with the seventh prince when the accident happened. Now that there is one death and one injury, the seventh prince can't get away with it." Rong After Rong said something in a low voice, she looked at Su Yue and asked with a serious expression, "Did you enter the palace yesterday?"

"Ah?" Su Yue froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Go in, as soon as my boat landed, the people in the mansion said that the emperor sent Mr. He to look for me. I didn't know what happened, so I rushed into the palace first. gone."

"Then, when did you come out? Did you hear anything?" Miss An San asked with a serious face.

Su Yue's face was full of confusion, she looked around and said: "I came out before dinner, after I entered the palace, Eunuch He took me directly to the emperor's place, had tea and chat with the emperor, see you later It was getting late, so I left the palace, and I didn't hear anything happened when I was there."

"Before dinner, it's okay." Rong Rong said as if he was relieved.

"Hey, tell me clearly, what does this mean?" Su Yue called out unconsciously.

"Now the two princes have an accident together, and you happen to be entering the palace." Miss Ning Si said: "If the time just coincides and someone catches you, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Su Yue was surprised: "Ah? Me? What can I do!"

Her image in the capital is that of an orphan girl. Although she is favored by the emperor, she has no background or power at all, and she hasn't been in the capital for more than half a year. She just returned to Beijing yesterday. Can this also be contacted?
"You don't know, even though you are not here at these times, there are not few people gossiping about you." Miss An Qi pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "Especially that Mrs. Cai Xiang, and Princess Anjun , I have nothing to do, I will mention you a few words when I go out to socialize, and I will say anything nasty."

"But this..." Su Yue was still a little confused.

If Cai Xiang's family had a grudge, it was indeed Cai Ji's grudge, but it wouldn't be like this, would it?
"This morning, grandma asked someone to send a letter back, asking if you're back." Rong Rong said with a grim expression, "I don't think grandma will send this letter on purpose."

Someone must have said something in front of the emperor and the queen mother, so the old lady let her remind Su Yue by sending a letter.

This year's capital city has not been very peaceful. There was the Yuan family's incident before, followed by the border war, and then Kang Wang's high-profile return to Beijing.

Now two princes have fallen again.

Today's capital city is full of panic, and some ghosts naturally want to use this to cause chaos.

Although Su Yue looked at it and had nothing to do with this matter, it was hard to say that no one would use this to make something wrong.

Anyway, Su Yue didn't have any background influence, so she was used as the trigger point of the matter, as long as she triggered what she wanted to do, she would find out that Su Yue was innocent afterwards, and she was not afraid of Su Yue's revenge.

"Oh, elder sister Yue is doing the right thing. Besides, why don't you drink tea with the emperor..." Miss An Qi called out, and hurried footsteps came from outside the waterside pavilion.

Bo He went outside to ask a question, then hurried into the waterside pavilion, and said in a low voice: "Girl, there is someone with a queen outside, let you enter the palace."
