Chapter 604: Digging

After the queen led all the concubines to leave the scene first, Su Yiqing and several noble ladies who had just been quietly notified by the palace maids walked behind the hall with the envious eyes of some experienced noble ladies.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, those who can be left by the queen are those who are valued. Power is indeed a tempting person. These people have forgotten the dangers of being left behind so quickly. What they can remember is only the glory they can bring, and envy those who can get glory.

Su Yiqing finally came to a relatively small side hall. The queen did not arrive, only a few of them. She recalled the identities of these ladies. Some had seen them several times, and some had the first time to see them, but no matter what they had seen before, they were not familiar with them, which means they were not from the same circle.

Just as civil officials and military generals rarely interact, Yancheng's powerful circles are divided into several types. Although they are not in the same circle, they will not have no contact, but they have very little communication. What is the purpose of the queen gathering this noble lady who is not in the same circle? Youshi, the second wife of Zhongsu Hou Mansion, was also among them. Seeing Youshi and several of them secretly exchanging eyes, Su Yiqing thought about the identities of these people one by one. It seems that these people are more or less related to Zhongsu Hou Mansion, and they should be said to be in-laws of Zhongsu Hou Mansion.

Princess Xiangshan reminded her that it was true that this time Concubine Rong was going to target her.

In terms of status, Su Yiqing, the Ding Prince's Mansion, is higher than the noble ladies present, but she is the youngest in the turn, so her seat is arranged on Youshi's head to close. She has no contact with Youshi. Although after sitting down, Youshi first smiled enthusiastically at her, as if she had the intention of talking to her, she was wary of her heart and just nodded lightly.

It must be that You Shi felt Su Yiqing's indifference, and her enthusiastic smile suddenly became a little stiff, but the stiffness just flashed by, and then she smiled even more enthusiastically.

She didn't hit the smiley person. Although others smiled at her, Su Yiqing did not respond with the same smile. Earlier, she thought of being a qualified lady and wearing a hypocritical mask, so that people would not see what she really thought. However, after confirming that Zhongsu Hou Mansion had bad intentions, she could not take her mask.

According to past experience, if she was enthusiastic about Youshi, Youshi would definitely hit a snake and stick it with a stick, and then she would find a way to get it close to it and set a trap. Now she is a little colder, and if Youshi can't find a suitable opening remark, she will naturally give up. If ordinary country women may stick it to her, but if you become a noble lady like Youshi, she may not be able to do it even if she practices at home.

Sure enough, the expression on Youshi's face changed a few times, but she didn't take the initiative to speak loudly. Instead, she turned sideways and talked to another noble lady next to her. The noble lady Su Yiqing had a relationship with a noble family. Her husband's family had a surname Duanmu, and was a famous family in Yancheng. As for her own family, it had declined and nothing to pay attention to. However, this kind of aristocratic family is generally large in foundation and has a close relationship with the famous families in Yancheng. Maybe it is related to Zhongsu Hou Mansion.

Su Yiqing didn't listen carefully to what You Shi said, but just pretended to bow her head and admire the exquisite tea sets on the table. Or she deliberately refused to listen. As a dignified and virtuous lady, You Shi and the others would not speak too loudly, and they wouldn't hear it if they didn't deliberately.

After a long time, Empress Ni brought Concubine Rong to her.

"Let you wait for a long time." It was probably too late. Queen Ni did not say too much about the prelude to the opening remarks, and said directly, "I invite you to thank you for your unstoppable changes and people who can stabilize people's hearts when the chaos in Yancheng is disrupted. Especially the Ding Princess, who has made great contributions and Princess Ding can make Princes Ding have no worries."

After hearing these words, Su Yiqing felt a little dissatisfied. Even Yufeng might have made great contributions to the chaos in Yancheng, but not only did nothing, she also ran away when she was disrupting her. Now Queen Ni said this obviously not because she did not understand the facts, but because she would have another idea after praise.

"Empress, I just did what I changed." Su Yiqing was not humble and replied lightly. People said that. Do you want to be pretentious? Anyway, it's just a few words, and it's not a matter of stealing someone's credit. It's not worthy of being accepted.

"The positioning concubine is really modest." This time, Concubine Rong said with a smile, "There is no elder in the Ding Prince's Mansion. It must be very hard to take charge of the entire positioning concubine alone, right?"

Concubine Rong's words were not in vain, but at this moment, Su Yiqing didn't care about analyzing whether there would be any verbal traps. When she found an opportunity, she immediately seized it and said immediately: "Although there are no elders in the Ding Palace, there are still many elders who guide me, otherwise she really doesn't know what to do."

"Oh, which elder is talking about the princess?" Concubine Rong asked casually.

Su Yiqing said: "The earliest one is Old Concubine Xue, who has always taken care of the younger generation."

As soon as this said, the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold. Everyone knew that the case of the Emperor's assassination of the Guo County Prince's Mansion was like a serious crime of corruption. The house was only in the front line, and it was too late for others to hide. Not to mention it in public, few people dared to mention it in private. Unexpectedly, this positioning concubine was so bold that she dared to mention the old concubine Xue at this time.

It was easy for others to say that Concubine Rong's face suddenly turned pale. If it was inappropriate to say such words from Concubine, then the person who took the verbal talk was also guilty.

Judging from Concubine Rong's reaction, Su Yiqing immediately knew that Empress Ni was not as amiable as she seemed on the surface, and she must be strict with the concubines in the harem.

Everyone was so arrogant that they dared not say anything. At this time, Empress Ni smiled and said, "Old Concubine Xue is indeed a kind junior. I remember that when I was not married into the royal family, I was taught by the old Concubine Xue. I heard that the younger brother of the concubine's family and Miss Lewen from the Prince of Guo County were about to get married. I am really congratulations."

Su Yiqing said: "I have to thank Your Majesty for your success."

Everyone present looked a little ugly again. The positioning concubine actually reminded the Queen Meng family and Prince Guo’s Mansion so bluntly that the marriage between the Meng family and the Prince Guo’s Mansion was granted by an imperial edict, so she should not be punished. After all, Empress Ni is the mother of a country, so she obviously has a little provoked to Queen Ni’s authority.

Concubine Rong and You Shi exchanged their eyes secretly again, obviously very worried.
