"Thank you, cousin."
After Shen Shi thanked Su Qianxi politely, she looked up at the half-person-high ruby coral ornament in front of her, and her expression suddenly became a little strange.
If she remembered correctly, this red jade and coral ornament caused a joke in the harem when the subject country paid tribute.
The reason is that the imperial concubine took a fancy to this red jade and coral ornament at first sight and thought it was beautiful. In addition, it was a tribute from a subordinate country, so it was very honorable to take it out, so she was bound to get it.
Without waiting for her father to speak, she vowed to express in front of the other concubines in the harem that this red jade and coral ornament belonged to her, so that others would not think of what she was interested in.
Under normal circumstances, the father would usually give the concubine something she liked.
After all, the imperial concubine is very good at guessing her father's thoughts, and her father is willing to give the imperial concubine some face in matters that have nothing to do with state affairs.
But an accident happened.
Probably because the imperial concubine was too arrogant, and I don't know which concubine was offended, she made people say in front of the father that the ruby was festive and noble, and it was also a tribute, so it was the best match for the regent.
His father always regarded his cousin as more important than anyone else. After hearing this, he did not consider other people for the ownership of the red jade and coral ornaments, and directly sent them to his cousin.
By the time the imperial concubine tentatively asked for the red jade and coral ornaments, the items had already entered the private treasury of the Prince Regent's Palace.
The imperial concubine was greatly embarrassed because of this. She was scolded and ridiculed by other empresses in the palace for a long time. Her biological mother was also hurt and bullied by the imperial concubine behind her back for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the thing that the imperial concubine had tried so hard to get but was now given to her by the princess regent.
"As long as the second princess likes it."
Su Qianxi raised her lips and smiled, then asked curiously.
"There is a banquet today. Didn't the Second Princess arrange a song and dance to celebrate?"
As soon as Shen Shiwan heard this, she knew that Su Qianxi wanted to watch the actors perform singing and dancing.
She gave the nanny who was waiting next to her a look, and the other party immediately understood and turned around to arrange the people.
"If my cousin didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten."
Shen Shiwan spoke with a slight smile, as if she had really forgotten, rather than that she had not arranged for an actor to perform in the first place.
Su Qianxi is now a very popular person in the capital, and even if Shen Shiwan is a princess, she would not dare to neglect her.
The nanny of the Princess Mansion quickly brought actors to perform for Su Qianxi.
Listening to the melodious and beautiful sound of silk and bamboo in her ears, Su Qianxi closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was immersed in this beautiful music.
After the song ended, Su Qianxi opened her eyes, with a bit of satisfaction in her hopeful eyes.
"Not bad, reward."
At Su Qianxi's signal, Qingzhu came forward with the money bag and rewarded them one by one.
When everyone saw it, although they didn't say anything, they silently felt that Su Qianxi's move was a bit petty.
Generally, rewards in this situation are waiting for the actor to exit before arranging for the people around him to reward him.
First of all, for people like them, money is a vulgar thing, and everything is related to money, which makes them seem tacky and easy to be looked down upon.
Secondly, if you give rewards in front of so many people, you will feel uncomfortable if you give too much. If you give too little, others will laugh at you and hurt your face.
But Su Qianxi's next words interrupted everyone's thoughts.
After Qingzhu rewarded the last actor, Su Qianxi slowly said, "The accompanist over there is a good accompanist, let's reward him too."
Qingzhu followed Su Qianxi's gaze and realized that the princess was talking about Su Ruowei.
Everyone stared at Su Ruowei, who had not dared to stop until now. After hearing Su Qianxi's words, his whole face turned red with anger, his whole body was trembling, and there was a bit of sympathy in his eyes.
How did Su Ruowei offend the Princess Regent so badly?
After all, Su Ruowei was also the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in name only, but Su Qianxi compared her to an actress for people's entertainment in public, and her face was really stepped on by Su Qianxi.
"puff!"
I don't know who among the ladies from the aristocratic family couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing. When Su Ruowei heard this, her eyes turned red with anger.
Qingzhu knew that his princess and Su Ruowei would not deal with each other, so naturally he would not give Su Ruowei a good attitude.
She searched directly from the money bag, finally found a copper coin, and handed it to Su Ruowei.
Su Ruowei's breathing became heavier after seeing this. She had just seen that except for the lead dancer who received ten taels of silver, the rest of the actors received five taels of silver.
When it's my turn, I only have one copper plate.
She thought that Su Qianxi comparing her to an actor would be enough to make her feel humiliated, but she didn't expect that it would be even more humiliating! !
She, the dignified lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is actually not as good as an actress! !
"Miss Su Er didn't accept the reward from the princess. Could it be that she doesn't like the reward from my princess?"
Qingzhu saw Su Ruowei gritting his teeth and looking at her. He didn't take the copper plate away for a long time, and immediately asked sternly with a straight face.
"It seems that Miss Su Er still doesn't understand her identity clearly."
"What an honor it is to be rewarded by the princess. Miss Su Er refuses to accept the reward from the princess. Could it be that she feels that the princess is humiliating you?"
Among the ladies from aristocratic families present, there were naturally some who had trouble dealing with Su Ruowei. Seeing this scene, they spoke angrily.
"It is said that the second young lady of the Su family is a noble person. Now it seems that the rumors are true."
"If you were truly noble and knew that you were not the biological daughter of the Su family, you should have left voluntarily instead of remaining shamelessly in the Su family."
Several young ladies from aristocratic families who had long disliked Su Ruowei started to sing along and directly criticized Su Ruowei until his face turned blue and white.
"Having occupied the wealth that belongs to others for so many years, anyone with a little bit of conscience should feel guilty and try every means to make up for it."
"Don't say that the princess thought her accompaniment just now was good, so she rewarded her. Even if the princess was humiliating her, she should accept it on her knees."
Although Su Ruowei was revealed to be not the real daughter of the Su family before, the Su family still did not drive Su Ruowei away, and even treated Su Ruowei as well as ever.
For the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if some people don't like Su Ruowei, no one will openly have trouble with Su Ruowei.
After all, the prime minister is the head of the officials and plays an important role in the court. They don't want to cause trouble to their parents.
But now Su Qianxi clearly showed her dislike for Su Ruowei, and even the servant next to the Princess Regent had just revealed that Su Ruowei had been expelled from the Su family's family tree a long time ago and was not considered a member of the Su family.
So what else do they have to worry about?
No - Su Qianxi only needs to show her displeasure with Su Ruowei, and there will be people who will suppress Su Ruowei for her one after another to make her happy.
