"Xiaoqing, I'm tired. Please accompany me for a walk outside." Su Qing took the initiative.
"Okay, madam." Xiao Qing started chirping again, trying to divert Su Qing's attention, "I have been practicing diligently recently, and my skills have improved a lot. Madam, do you have to praise me?"
"Praise you!" Su Qing said helplessly.
Su Qing and Xiao Qing were walking in the yard, looking quite comfortable.
No matter how life has changed beyond recognition, she still has to grit her teeth, maintain a peaceful mind, and face it bravely.
This is the top priority.
Su Qing was moving forward when suddenly she heard the whispers of several servants. Looking at them, they seemed to be several older servants.
"Do you know? I heard before that although the queen is favored, the prince, mother and concubine are even more favored!"
"Really?" Another servant exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, the queen and the prince and his mother-in-law were the two most beloved concubines at that time, and the prince and his mother-in-law were even better!"
The servants are all proud of their past glory.
They all believe that a woman's degree of favor determines her identity and status.
"Then what happened next?" Another young servant asked.
Another older boy said: "Later, the prince's mother and concubine fell ill for some unknown reason. Since then, the status of the prince's palace has plummeted."
"Is this because beauties have a bad fate?" said an ugly-looking maid.
It is not a good habit to belittle others in search of a sense of presence when one's own conditions are not good.
Su Qing stood nearby and listened to everything. She didn't expect that such things happened in the palace in the past. It was really shocking.
Is the death of the mother-in-law really just because of the beauty's unlucky fate? What is the reason for this?
Su Qing thought for a long time, puzzled. She suddenly remembered that Xie Shuyi once said that the death of Xie Shuting's mother and concubine was related to a maid.
Xie Shuyi also used this as a condition for Xie Shuting to participate in government affairs.
There must be something fishy about this.
Xie Shuting's development of such an awkward character must have a lot to do with the fact that he lost his mother and concubine when he was young.
Therefore, Su Qing always felt in her heart that if she wanted to truly get into Xie Shuting's heart, the most important thing was to find out the cause of her mother's death.
The trouble should end it.
Su Qing just hoped that Xie Shuting could quickly get out of the circle in his heart and stop pretending to be himself with superficial superficiality.
It is important to become a more authentic version of yourself.
Xiao Qing looked at Su Qing's serious expression and couldn't help but ask: "Should we ask them to stop talking?"
"Nothing comes out of nowhere. They just discussed it in their free time and didn't bring it to light. Just remind them." Su Qing arranged.
Xiaoqing felt that Su Qing's arrangement was just right.
After that, Su Qing returned to the room.
A few days later, Xie Shuting came to Su Qing with a plate of braised pork.
Su Qing could smell the smell of meat from afar. It was the work of the Second Prince's cook. After her training, she was able to make unique delicacies.
Xie Shuye showed the braised pork to Su Qing: "I ordered the cook to cook this for you. You can try it. She misses you very much and wants to hear your opinion on her cooking skills."
Of course Su Qing agreed happily: "Of course."
She tasted it casually and found that the meat had been stewed until it was soft and melted in her mouth. It was quite delicious and said, "Yes, the cook's skills have improved a lot. The Second Prince's house is full of delicious food."
"It's not because of you." Xie Shuye had a gentle smile on his face, which was quite bright.
Su Qing felt a warm feeling instantly when she saw his expression.
Xie Shuyi is really a person who is very good at dealing with people and worldly affairs. He always makes people feel comfortable and like a spring breeze.
But it is precisely because it is too comfortable that it gives people an uneasy feeling.
It was as if his every move and smile were carefully designed, but it felt a little unrealistic.
Xie Shuying began to ask the next step: "Su Qing, will you blame me for giving the bell to Shuting?"
Su Qing thought, Ganqing is waiting for her here!
"The second prince really doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!" Su Qing teased.
"It's nothing, I just want to know what you think." Xie Shuye was not angry.
Su Qing took another deep look at Xie Shuye. When it comes to the ability to control emotions, no one can match her.
Su Qing felt that it would be a good thing to express her mentality earlier: "I believe that if the prince has me in his heart, he will not be easily shaken. I still have this confidence."
"Very good, I didn't expect Su Qing to be such a generous person." Xie Shuye praised and held it.
"I'm afraid the second prince doesn't know me well enough. When I treat Lingdang, I treat my sister more like I cherish my talents." Su Qing explained, "I won't be hostile to her."
"In addition, there is a saying that I leave here. I would rather not have people or things that can be easily snatched away."
This is Amelia Su’s self-esteem and confidence.
Xie Shuying couldn't help but ask: "Then will you change your attitude towards Xie Shuting because of his indifference?"
"Of course not. Do I look like the kind of person who changes his mind easily?" Su Qing asked.
Xie Shuying couldn't help but come to the conclusion: "You like Shuting more firmly than I thought and believe in his character."
"Second Prince, that is my husband, how can I not trust him?" Su Qing made her attitude clear.
"I think I know what you're thinking. You can eat the braised pork slowly and I won't disturb you." Xie Shuyuan already knew Su Qing's attitude, so naturally he was not prepared to have any more entanglements, so he had no choice but to leave.
Su Qing looked at his back, thinking about his question just now, feeling a little confused.
Later, she thought that Xie Shuyuan came here just to test her attitude towards Xie Shuting. When she heard the answer he wanted to know, she would naturally leave.
On the other hand, Xie Shuting was in the room reflecting on what Su Qing had done during this period.
He felt momentarily shaken.
What if Amelia Su really thinks about him?
What if she is completely different from the person with ulterior motives that she understands?
What if...she really protects and likes him?
Then she won over General Tang's Mansion for herself, tried every means to save herself, and was also implicated by the Queen...
The more Xie Shuting thought about it, the more he felt a headache. The reasons were so complicated that he couldn't figure it out for a while, but he was just a little at a loss.
Even the Queen Mother stood on Su Qing's side, and Xie Shuting fell into confusion.
Xie Shuting's living environment since childhood has been full of intrigues, and now suddenly there is someone who is wholeheartedly for himself. It is understandable that he can't understand and accept it for a while.
