The next day, Concubine Su's carriage arrived outside the Prince's Mansion early in the morning.
She slept directly at the Su Mansion last night, and hugged her straight from the Su Mansion this morning. The people arranged by Su Huai were very good at planning, and they waited until the prince went to court before he came with Concubine Su.
According to the rules, when Concubine Su returns to Beijing, she should first go back to the palace to pay homage to the emperor, and then announce that the prince and princess enter the palace to pay her respects.
However, she came directly to the Prince's Mansion to visit her daughter-in-law on the grounds that it was inconvenient for the Crown Princess to go out. Naturally, she was praised when the news reached the ears of the Emperor.
"I heard that the Crown Princess is pregnant. She was frightened by a cat a few days ago and had fetal contractions."
So she wanted to come and take a look. In addition to the few confidants Su Huai arranged for her, Su Yanran was also accompanied.
In the carriage, Su Yanran sat obediently on one side and said softly: "Aunt, the prince's cousin has already gone to the morning court. What are we doing at the prince's residence?"
"Silly girl, I'm sorry that you have been waiting for Rui'er for so many years. My aunt will not let you wait in vain." Concubine Su said coldly: "Now that I am back, Qi Siyun's life will not be easy."
Her ears turned red, her eyes were filled with grievances, and she said obediently: "But, aunt, the prince brother doesn't like Yanran. He only likes the prince concubine. If aunt embarrasses her, she is afraid that the prince brother will be angry."
"Who said that? Our Yanran is so beautiful, gentle and lovely. The only daughter-in-law in my heart is Yanran. Just wait, my aunt will not let her sit so calmly."
Suddenly, Su Yanran's eyes turned red and she lowered her head slightly, pretending to be shy: "Yanran listens to my aunt."
"Yanran still understands her aunt's heart best and listens to her words the most."
But even Concubine Su didn't see a stern look in Su Yanran's eyes. Nangong Rui was not even willing to let her be his concubine, so why should she have to wait for him for so many years.
Outside the carriage, a tall and thin woman in her thirties appeared in front of the carriage and said, "I will knock on the door now and ask the Crown Princess to come out to greet the Empress."
"Wait a minute, I will go in personally." A faint smile of unknown meaning hung on Concubine Su's lips.
"Auntie, why do you have to lower your status to see her? You are the elder. It should be the Crown Princess who goes to greet you."
"Silly girl, my aunt has her own reasons for doing this."
Su Yanran looked at Concubine Su with innocent eyes, only to hear her say again: "I have also woken up. If you want to ease the relationship between me and Rui'er, I must first give in and let Rui'er marry you." Don’t rush things, as long as Rui’er listens to me, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future.”
"Yanran understands."
Su Yanran opened the car door first, exchanged glances with the tall and thin woman, then got out of the car, and respectfully greeted Concubine Su down: "Auntie, be careful on the steps."
I saw Concubine Su wearing a gorgeous palace dress, and her hair was combed into a high imperial concubine bun. She looked so majestic and noble, followed by a huge group of people, all of whom were arranged by Su Huai to serve her.
Su Yanran stood beside her, waiting obediently. She knew that Concubine Su hated Qi Siyun very much, and she just hoped that her aunt would not kill anyone today.
Su Yanran had long disliked Qi Siyun, but the prince often ignored her in the past. Su Yanran thought that the prince was just a joke in Kyoto and did not take her to heart.
She couldn't believe it until it was reported that the Crown Princess was pregnant, so that day she secretly brought a cat as a gift to her, but she didn't expect that she just had fetal contractions.
Since the Crown Princess became pregnant, the Crown Prince's Mansion has tightened its security. The child in the Crown Princess's belly is not only the Crown Prince's expectation, but also the Emperor's expectation.
