The only advantage of the Qi family is that they have more money. Those who are trying to quarrel with the Qi family are just interested in the dowry given by the Qi family.
Especially the old nobles, while they look down on the Qi family, they also need the dowry of the Qi family's daughters to maintain their honor.
From Princess Huirong's point of view, there is no need for the Lian family to get involved with the Qi family.
Lian Suisui shook his head and nodded again.
Mrs. Qin bought most of the dowry for her and asked her to take it away. Even Mrs. He showed up and asked her to return it. There must not be much money left in the family.
When the Qi family was mentioned, the look on Princess Huirong's face was very unnatural.
"There are many concubines in the back house of the Qi family, and there are also many children born from concubines. I have a girl who has been raised under my knees since she was a child. She has a good character. If possible, you can help her."
When it comes to important matters such as marriage and parents' orders, no one can make the final decision.
No matter how hard you understand, there is no other way.
Princess Huirong has been away from the Qi family for five or six years. When she left, the girl was only nine years old. She must be fifteen now. It's time for a kiss.
"I know the situation in your family. With your mother here, it's always better to be in someone else's house."
Lian Suisui responded yes.
"She is the ninth in the family and does not have a serious name. She is called Qi Jiumei. Her mother is a lotus picker girl. Qi Yan brought her back from the south. When she was born, she was in labor. I looked pitiful and took her over to raise her. "
"I have raised a few before, but they were all given away by Qi Yan, and this is the only one left."
"She has a weak temper, and I don't know if she was bullied when I was away."
Princess Huirong sighed, fearing that Lian Suisui would be burdened.
"There's no need for me to take special care of her. Everyone has their own path to take. I don't know where her path is."
This trust was very heavy, and Lian Suisui was not sure whether she could fulfill it. Princess Huirong saw through her mind.
In fact, the eldest princess Huirong didn't pay much attention to Qi Jiumei, at least she didn't see her again after she came out of Qi's house.
"I'm very happy that you can come and talk to me today."
Lian Suisui asked curiously: "Elder Princess, what's the problem between you and the Ninth Prince? You are so good to me, why are you so alienated from your own brother?"
Royal family affection is indifferent. Lian Suisui knows this truth, but still wants to ask.
The eldest princess Huirong sighed: "What grudge can I have against him? It's just an idea that was instilled in me when I was a child. The current emperor and I are from the same mother, and he is on the opposite side of us, so the relationship will naturally be weak."
"In order to deal with him, I married into the Qi family. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have to sacrifice my own happiness."
The eldest princess Huirong resented not Chu Zhiyi, but the imperial power.
Lian Suisui understood.
"You want to ask him about being punished by the emperor to kneel down in the palace..."
Princess Huirong guessed what she wanted to ask, and said helplessly: "The two of them are natural enemies. A person who has been lame for six years can still make the emperor who is the ninth fifth emperor afraid. The ninth brother is better than I imagined." It’s awesome.”
He is definitely not as harmless as the world sees him.
These words could not be heard by outsiders. Qinghe lowered his head, not daring to take a breath. Even Suisui's breath was stagnant.
"I understand."
I hope she really understands.
"I'm tired. You can pick me up and take me to Meng's house tomorrow morning."
Princess Huirong pursed her lips and said with a smile, "The emperor still wants to reuse your father. Please let him calm down and be patient."
The eldest princess Huirong knew Emperor Chen. There were a lot of things going on in the court recently, and the case of Yishantang was revealed again. She could not blame anyone else, but Lian Fangyu happened to be in Emperor Chen's anger.
But the Ministry of Rites has lost a Yao Shangshu, so Lian Fangyu cannot be left behind. After all, even Emperor Chen’s ministers can’t trust him, and Emperor Chen can’t trust anyone else. Instead of promoting others, it’s better to use Lian Fangyu as a victim. There is no one more trustworthy than the Lian family!
"Thank you, Princess, for clearing up the confusion!"
This trip to the eldest princess did not expect an unexpected surprise.
Lian Sui bid farewell to Princess Huirong.
"Royal Aunt."
Unfortunately, I ran into an old acquaintance.
King Cheng gave her an awkward salute.
Lian Suisui is very relieved.
"Will King Cheng also come to meet the eldest princess?"
Although the eldest princess Hui Rong stayed at home, she was well-informed about the news in the court and the palace. Lian Suisui re-examined the weight of eldest princess Hui Rong in front of Emperor Chen.
"My aunt has had a bad appetite these days, so I bought some snacks and sent them over."
The maid went in to report, and Qinghe came out to greet her.
"It's unfortunate that Your Highness Prince Cheng is here. The eldest princess was tired from shopping and just fell asleep..."
Qinghe was worried that the two of them would start fighting.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Wang's attitude was surprisingly calm.
"It's okay, Aunt Qinghe, please bring the snacks in. I'll come back to visit Auntie later."
Qinghe took the snack, bowed and left.
Lian Suisui walked away from him and Wang Cheng took two quick steps to catch up.
"Are the aunt and uncle okay?"
His tone was not friendly.
"Okay or not, what does it have to do with you?"
If you have time to pester her here, why not go home quickly and see if Weng Ling'er has cuckolded him again? Don't raise a son for someone else then!
"Don't be so hostile to me, we are not necessarily enemies!"
Lian Suisui paused in his steps and let out a cold chuckle.
"You were the one who brought my grandmother here, right? I can't think of anyone else besides you!"
King Cheng blinked.
"What evidence does Auntie Huang have?"
He stared at Lian Suisui with a probing tone.
"I have no evidence. If I had evidence, I would have gone to the palace to complain. No one but you can do such a stupid thing!"
cut……
King Cheng laughed out loud.
"Then should I thank Auntie Huang for her praise, or should I thank Auntie Huang for her compliment?"
"I haven't wished the Emperor's aunt and the Emperor's uncle a happy marriage."
This is Princess Huirong's mansion. He seems to be quite polite, but he can do such a stupid thing as hanging out with Xia Jing'er at the palace banquet... Who knows what bad things are in his belly!
Lian Suisui ignored him, got into the carriage and drove away.
"master."
King Cheng retracted his gaze from the Nine Princes' carriage, his face condensed.
"It's not Uncle Jiu or the Lian family. Who ruined my plan?"
He muttered.
"Go home."
When his aunt saw Lian Suisui but not him, King Cheng clenched his fists. Was he wrong in his bet?
After learning the details of Chu Zhiyi being punished to kneel from Princess Huirong, Lian Suisui returned to the house and went straight to Chu Zhiyi's room.
"Princess, the prince has not come back yet!"
Ji Ying's prompting voice came from behind, and Lian Suisui looked in through the half-opened door. The window of the room was open, and the setting sun was shining in through the window. There was indeed no one there.
"The sun is setting. Where has the prince gone?"
"The prince never explains to the slave where he goes, and the slave doesn't know."
Well, even Suisui returned to his room. When it got dark, there was still no movement in the room next door.
"Princess, let's eat something first."
Pei Shu served dinner, a combination of meat and vegetables, as well as a bowl of medicated Chinese angelica and black-bone chicken soup. She originally wanted to replenish Chu Zhiyi's qi and blood.
"Prepare some hot water, let me wash up first."
It was getting dark, and she began to feel something was wrong.
Chu Zhiyi had secret guards around him, hiding in every corner of the palace. Ji Ying didn't tell her, so she asked herself.
"Qing Luo's little fan flutters at Liu Ying?"
This was the secret code she had given Chu Zhiyi. Others might not be able to understand it, but the secret guards around Chu Zhiyi should be able to understand it.
"Qingluo's little fan flutters at Liuying!"
After shouting twice, no one showed up. Lian Suisui said angrily, "If you don't show up now, I will tell your prince when he comes back that you peeked at me taking a shower!"
The secret guard who was suspected of spying on her bathing last time shivered. He had just returned from the machine camp and might have to go back again.
"My subordinate Qingying has met with the princess. What orders does the princess have?"
