Along the way, Su Qingyu always felt that something was not right, but she could never figure out what was wrong.
Finally, when walking through the corridor, a maid carrying a wooden tray came towards me.
I don't know if Su Qingyu was too obsessed with it or if the maid was too careless. Anyway, the two of them bumped into each other, so almost all the hot soup on the wooden plate was poured onto Su Qingyu.
"This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die! Princess, please spare your life!"
Mingyue was eager to wipe her master, but Su Qingyu raised her hand to stop her: "The cloak is thick and the soup didn't burn me, so it doesn't matter."
Jiang Shangshu seemed to have reacted, so he looked guilty: "I frightened the princess, I really..."
Su Qingyu waved her hands nonchalantly: "I'm fine. Mr. Jiang, please get someone up!"
Jiang Shangshu then scolded the maid angrily: "If the princess hadn't been kind-hearted today, do you think she would have bypassed you? Why don't you get down quickly!"
The maid was so frightened that she couldn't help but said, "Thank you, princess, thank you sir!"
Under the recommendation of Jiang Shangshu, Su Qingyu met Jiang Shangshu's old mother. She did have a headache, so Su Qingyu prescribed medicine for her.
When they came out of the backyard, Su Qingyu and Mingyue were left to go to the front yard.
"Mingyue, do you think the maid serving the soup did it on purpose?"
Mingyue said categorically: "Master, did you see that she did it on purpose, and that's why you didn't avoid it?"
This is why Mingyue clearly has the ability to prevent Su Qingyu from being splashed with soup, but still chooses not to take action.
Su Qingyu nodded: "When she came over, I saw an obvious thick callus on the tiger's mouth of her right hand. It is very likely that she is a practitioner. But such a person is doing the job of a maid in the backyard."
"Princess, you think Master Jiang is also testing whether you know martial arts?"
"Otherwise, how would a maid in Jiang Mansion's backyard know that I am the princess?"
Su Qingyu walked slowly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she couldn't connect these intermittent thoughts together.
"He wants to test me. At present, there are only two possibilities."
"Firstly, His Majesty still doesn't believe me, so he asked Jiang Shangshu to take this opportunity to test me and see my reaction. Secondly, Tuoba Linglong said something that should not be said in front of Jiang Shangshu."
Mingyue was worried: "Which possibility does the princess think Jiang Shangshu has?"
Su Qingyu shook her head: "I can't guess either."
She had a feeling that someone was weaving a big net, and this big net wanted to trap many people in it...
The master and servant never spoke again, and the whole journey was very quiet until they heard the conversation between Jiang Lanyin and Lu Yuncheng at the corner of the corridor.
"Does His Highness Prince Ling really not remember my daughter?"
"Should I remember Miss Jiang?"
Su Qingyu and Mingyue looked at each other and asked her with their eyes: Did Lu Yuncheng and Jiang Lanyin know each other before?
But she remembered that Lu Yuncheng said that they only met a few times...
Mingyue shook her head: I don’t know.
When Jiang Lan heard Lu Yuncheng's rhetorical question, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
After a while, she regained her sense: "Your Majesty, when the Jiang family's carriage encountered bandits in the suburbs of Beijing, it was you who rescued us."
She could even clearly remember every back view he had in front of her back then, but now, he actually said he didn't remember?
Jiang Lanyin simply didn't believe in such a result, nor did he accept it.
Lu Yuncheng seemed to be really remembering, and after a while he slowly replied: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember."
"However, Miss Jiang suddenly mentioned this matter. Is there something wrong?"
Jiang Lanyin shook her head and forced a smile from her face: "My lord, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to say thank you to you. I have no other intention."
Lu Yuncheng didn't answer, and Su Qingyu could almost imagine how embarrassing it must be for the two people to face each other but not speak.
After a while, Jiang Lanyin said again: "I heard from my father that His Majesty just issued an imperial edict this morning to clear up the grievances of the past for the Pure Concubine, and she was also posthumously named the Pure Concubine."
"I'm sorry that my aunt's thoughts caused such consequences."
Lu Yuncheng said in a calm tone: "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Jiang, so naturally there is no need for Miss Jiang to apologize."
Su Qingyu could vaguely feel some kind of faint resentment from this, but she didn't know what the source of this resentment was.
"Hey, aren't these the younger siblings who have become famous recently?"
Su Qingyu didn't expect that King Qi would notice her lying in the corner and yell out.
She could only walk out of the corner slowly, pretending to be polite and greeting everyone.
"Ah, everyone is here, what a coincidence."
Jiang Lan looked surprised and embarrassed.
On the other hand, Lu Yuncheng's face was full of some kind of embarrassment, and he seemed to be in a good mood, with a faint smile on his lips.
"Princess Ling, please don't misunderstand me. I just had a casual chat with His Highness Prince Ling and had no other intentions."
King Qi took advantage of the opportunity: "Miss Jiang, are you too careful? So what if it's not just chatting? Why are you in a hurry to explain?"
"Let me tell you, sister-in-law, you are too strong! Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines? You forced the seventh brother not to take concubines. You are really a shrew and have lost the dignity of the royal family."
These words not only clearly stated the image of Su Qingyu as a shrew and jealous woman, but also deliberately made Lu Yuncheng and Jiang Lanyin's alone time ambiguous.
Su Qingyu couldn't help but exclaimed in her heart, how could King Qi be so brainless? It's just the way he behaves, and he deliberately wants everyone to think that he is brainless.
If you think about it carefully, many of the things he said seemed to be mindless, but in fact they were secretly stirring up trouble every time.
"Please, Your Highness Prince Qi, please stop talking nonsense so as not to cause Princess Ling to misunderstand."
Jiang Lanyin's face showed the shame and anger of being humiliated.
How could she bear it when the apple of her eye was compared to a concubine?
"You can talk endlessly all day long, and now you even use it to tease women in the boudoir. This kind of behavior is simply shameless! Who among the two of us has lost the face of the royal family? Do I need to say more?"
Su Qingyu's expression of disgust and disgust was not concealed even when she glanced at King Qi for a second time, which surprised Jiang Lanyin on the side and forgot to look away.
She has been well-educated by her family since she was a child. She has always held herself to the highest standards and learned the magnanimity that a housewife should have.
At least Su Qingyu's behavior of confronting him face to face, or her behavior of humiliating King Qi, is probably something she will never be able to do in her life.
At this moment, Jiang Lanyin was extremely envious of Su Qingyu.
I envy her that she can do whatever she wants, such as practicing medicine.
I envy her that she can say whatever she wants without any scruples, like now.
I envy her that she has a husband who indulges her infinitely, who will stand behind her and look at her with a smile no matter what she does.
Just like now, Su Qingyu was clearly scolding Lu Yuncheng's brother, but instead of being angry, he stretched out his hand to her with a smile, worried that he did not give her enough sense of security...
And all of these are things that she, as a Jiang family girl, cannot do and will never get.
"Su Qingyu, don't think that you are so unscrupulous just because your father and the emperor's grandmother look down upon you! You have no respect for your elders, no respect for others, and you speak without restraint. Coupled with the fact that you are jealous of your wife, this king's seven I can divorce you a hundred times, even if it’s too many!”
Su Qingyu was not angry, and looked at Lu Yuncheng with a smile: "Look, how long have I been married to you? Why are so many people looking forward to your divorce?"
