Once again, Su Qing simply hoped that she could live a decent life.
Yes, don’t be exiled, don’t die miserably in a foreign country, but live a beautiful life. The yearning for a better life almost comes from a strong instinct.
Su Qing looked at Xie Shuting's handsome profile and sincerely hoped that her life would change drastically due to different choices.
Xie Shuting joked: "I know that I am graceful and charming, but if you look at me so directly, I will definitely be shy."
Su Qing immediately felt helpless. People who have lived among flowers for a long time always speak with a little frivolity. Xie Shuting raised Su Qing's chin again: "Qing'er must take good care of her body, otherwise I will feel distressed."
Su Qing's heart beat a few beats faster. She looked at Xie Shuting blankly. She knew clearly that he treated every beauty like this, but Su Qing was still vaguely relieved.
During the time she was in the house, Xie Shuting did not beat or scold her like a brothel madam, but he also provided her with a shelter so that she could eat and drink without worrying about food.
As long as she allowed him to change his ways according to the Queen Mother's wishes, maybe everything would be different. This is the expectation from Su Qing's heart.
Deep down in her heart, she hopes that her choice is correct, that she can change the shortcomings of her birth and live a different life!
Xie Shuting looked at Su Qing's eyes shining with hope and said nothing. He just said to Xiaoqing when he went out: "Take good care of your wife."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Qing responded.
After a period of conditioning, Su Qing's body became much more limber. Ye Xinlan, who received the divorce letter, shouted at the door of Su Qing's room early in the morning: "Su Qing, you bitch, come out here."
The old nanny stopped me from the side: "Miss Ye, you have nothing to do with the prince now, so why do you come here to embarrass the madam?"
"Go away! I must seek an explanation for myself today!" Ye Xinlan pushed the old woman away, and she fell to the ground.
Su Qing opened the door and helped the old woman up: "Early in the morning, I heard a dog barking!"
"Su Qing, who are you calling a dog? This is too much!" Ye Xinlan put her hands on her hips and looked very vulgar.
"Who did I think she was? It turned out to be Miss Ye, my recently divorced concubine. It's such a shame that the former lady of the world has fallen to this!" Su Qing said.
"You..." Ye Xinlan was very angry when she heard Su Qing being so angry.
The old woman persuaded from the side: "Miss Ye, at the previous banquet, the prince promised a wish to the winner. Madam's wish is that the prince only has her as a concubine. Do you want the prince to become a treacherous person?"
When Ye Xinlan heard this, she almost lost her breath and fainted: "You just came from a brothel. Today I will be driven away by you, and tomorrow you will be driven away by the concubine. The ending will be the same. Haven't you thought about it in your heart? ?"
Ye Xinlan's words reminded Su Qing that maybe what Ye Xinlan said was correct, but Su Qing always felt that as long as she was alive, there was hope, and it was not a bad idea to take one step at a time.
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, can you guarantee that you will have the last laugh?" Ye Xinlan was still venting.
Su Qing immediately responded: "No matter what the future holds, at least for now, I am the prince's concubine, and you are just a divorced loser. You are not qualified to tell me what to do. Do you understand?"
Su Qing's expression was quite intimidating, and Ye Xinlan was so shocked that she couldn't speak and could only stare at Su Qing blankly.
She was surprised in her heart that Su Qing was really a brothel girl. Why was she more powerful than the noble girl she was?
Xiao Qing helped: "Miss Ye, please don't humiliate yourself!"
The old nanny was also pushing beside me: "Miss Ye, please don't embarrass me, an old man."
Ye Xinlan looked at Su Qing with hateful eyes and left. Su Qing looked at her back thoughtfully. With her background, how easy would it be to gain a foothold in the prince's palace?
In the afternoon of the same day, the Queen Mother summoned Su Qing.
Su Qing came to the palace where the Queen Mother was: "See the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother looked at Su Qing's reverent look, smiled and nodded: "You have successfully completed the first task given to you by the Ai family."
"Thank you to the Queen Mother for your great blessing!" Su Qing responded quickly.
"Your little mouth is quite sweet. The Ai family came to you today because they want to give you the second task." The Queen Mother observed Su Qing's reaction.
But from beginning to end, Su Qing's expression remained unchanged: "I hope the Queen Mother will make it clear!"
He is quite calm. The Queen Mother then spoke: "The Ai family hopes that you can make the third prince pay attention to the government affairs."
Su Qing thought about Xie Shuting hanging around flowers all day long, and now asking him to pay attention to government affairs would be even harder than reaching the sky...
"The Ai family orders you to allow the third prince to serve as an official in three months and contribute to the country." The Queen Mother made her request more detailed and easier to understand.
Su Qing knew that this was an order and she had no room to refute it. The queen of the current emperor gave birth to a prince who was the current prince and had a high status.
Nowadays, the second prince is in the leading position. Although the third prince is inferior, he is the queen mother's favorite prince.
It's just that Xie Shuting didn't live up to his expectations and was notorious. Therefore, the Queen Mother could only place her hope on Su Qing, hoping that someone could treat him and give him a hand.
"My concubine takes orders!" Su Qing accepted the order, but at the same time she had a headache. How to make Xie Shuting obedient was really a headache.
The Queen Mother looked at Su Qing's leaving figure and took a deep breath.
When Su Qing returned to the palace from the Queen Mother, she immediately felt exhausted. Her body was so weak that she had a fever after just being frightened.
Su Qing was tense at the Queen Mother's house just now. Now she was relieved after returning to the palace. She didn't notice that her feet were weak. When she almost fell, a strong hand grabbed Su Qing's waist and brought her back to balance. .
Su Qing looked at Xie Shuting's enlarged handsome face at close range. Xie Shuting felt the soft touch under his hands and was also in a trance.
Su Qing used all her strength to stand firm. Xie Shuting saw her recovering from the shock. For a moment, he remembered the scene of her drunkenness that night, and he felt a surge of impatience in his heart: "Qing'er, be careful when you walk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Su Qing said her words of thanks, she saw Xie Shuting's back hurriedly leaving.
If it hadn't been for Xie Shuting just now, I'm afraid she... would have fallen badly. Su Qing still cast a grateful look.
Su Qing disguised herself as a man and took Xiaoqing out to eat. Except for her tasks, she can spend the rest of her time freely, and the man's identity is more convenient outside.
Su Qing also asked Xiaoqing to dress up well.
"Husband... Young Master, why are we going out this time?" Xiao Qing followed, very curious.
Su Qing immediately said: "Of course it's to look at the smoke and fire in the world to help Xiaoxiao eat, or as the storybook says, draw a sword to help when the road is rough."
Xiaoqing thinks Madam is really bold. He is confident in everything he does and has his own ideas.
