"Lianlian, of course I understand what you are saying, but what is at hand is the matter between the princess and the consort, which is beyond the control of ordinary people like us." Su Liuye said.
Qin Lian bit her lower lip, still feeling unwilling.
Su Liuye also knew what she was angry about, so she deliberately changed the topic and asked her to pack up the gifts on the table and move them all into the warehouse.
On the way, Su Liuye and the two met Chu San and Qing Shu who happened to be coming from the side room. They were also holding several gift boxes in their hands.
Even though the New Year is approaching, Chu San has no intention of going home. Instead, he wants to stay at the house. These gifts were bought by him and Qin Lian outside in the past few days, and they seemed to be intended to be given to others.
Seeing Su Liuye, he was very surprised, then his eyes lit up and he came over quickly, "Sister Liuye, when did you come back?"
"Just came back today."
Su Liuye's eyes were crooked. After getting along with him for a period of time, she still liked Chu San quite a lot.
The other person is younger than her. Every time he sees her, he always has a smile on his face and his eyes are bright.
"Sister Qin Lian and I went out this morning. No wonder I didn't know you were back." Chu San felt a little regretful, but soon he smiled again, "But Sister Liu Ye, I bought you a gift. I originally wanted to wait for you to leave the palace." I’ll give it to you when I get back. Look, isn’t this golden bull very unique? I liked it very much when I saw it, so I bought it specially for you, Sister Liuye!”
As Chu San finished speaking, Qingshu next to him also smiled and opened the brocade box in his hand. Inside was a golden bull the size of an adult's palm. It was exquisitely made and lifelike. At first glance, it was obvious that it was expensive.
Su Liuye was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "Mr. Chu, I can't have this, it's too precious!"
She had not known Chu San for a long time, and she really did not dare to accept such an expensive gift.
"Sister Liu Ye, I bought this specially for you. If you don't want it, I don't know where to put it." Chu San's expression was a little pitiful, and he said in a soft voice, "If it weren't for Liu Ye, Sister Ye took me and Qingshu in, I’m afraid we’ll have to stay overnight on the street.”
"Yes, yes, Mrs. Chu, my young master is right!" Qingshu nodded repeatedly.
Chu San said again, "Sister Liu Ye, I won't lie to you now. When Qingshu and I first arrived in the capital, our money bags were stolen, and we only had a jade pendant left on us. That jade pendant belonged to my elders. The token left to me cannot be lost no matter what."
"At that time, we only had enough money to eat for a few days, and we couldn't afford accommodation in the capital. Sister Liuye, I am very grateful that you can take me in, so I bought this gift specially for you. Here it is, please accept it!"
Chu San spoke sincerely, and the eyes he looked at her were full of respect.
Su Liuye was stunned, unsure of what he said.
"Sister Liuye, just accept it!"
Chu San took the opportunity to put something into her hand, "If you don't accept it, I will feel uneasy! By the way, Sister Liu Ye, what are you holding in your hands? Do you need my and Qingshu's help?"
Probably to change the subject, Chu San suddenly turned his attention to the gift box in her hand.
Su Liuye came back to her senses and said, "These were sent by Princess Anyang just now." As she said that, she looked at the little golden bull that Chu San had stuffed over her. This little thing didn't look big, but it was really big in her hand. Heavy.
She was in trouble for a moment, and knew that there was no way to refuse Chu San, so she could only say, "Mr. Chu, please put all these gifts into the warehouse with me first."
This little golden calf was too valuable, and she knew that Chu San would not give up easily at this time. It was too valuable for her to take, so she might as well put it in the warehouse temporarily and return it to Chu San when she found the opportunity.
"good!"
Chu San didn't know what she was thinking, and thought she had accepted his kindness. Looking back at the gift boxes in her and Qin Lian's hands, he asked curiously, "Sister Liu Ye, weren't you going to the palace with Princess Anyang this morning to meet the Holy Emperor? Why are you back so soon?"
"I didn't go today. Something happened at the Princess's Mansion."
"what happened?"
Su Liuye frowned, not wanting to tell Chu San these things. He was a man after all, and these matters were just private matters between Princess Anyang and her consort.
"Did Princess Anyang quarrel with the consort again?"
"how do you know?"
Before she could figure out how to cover it up, Chu San suddenly spoke, and Su Liuye looked at him in surprise.
Chu San laughed and said, "I'm just making a random guess. After all, the feud between Princess Anyang and the Prince Consort is not a secret in the capital. Apart from this incident, I don't know what else can be done in Princess Anyang's mansion." what happen."
Su Liuye was silent and couldn't say much. She raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her. She didn't know why, but the man knew so much about the affairs of the royal family and nobles in the capital, and he was able to speak out without any hesitation, without the slightest fear of getting into trouble.
Even if the matter between the consort and Princess Anyang is indeed outrageous, it is still a matter of the royal family. If ordinary people talk about it at will, it may lead to trouble.
But Chu San was not afraid at all and chatted without restraint every time.
Thinking of this, the doubts in her eyes became more intense, but she did not ask. After all, Chu San would only say that the elders in his family were related to the royal family every time.
Su Liuye really believed what he said at first, but now that she thought about it carefully, it was full of loopholes and flaws.
Chu San didn't want to say anything, and it was inconvenient for her to ask more questions.
When they went to the warehouse, Su Liuye took Qin Lian and the others to put away the gifts. On the way back, Chu San asked about Princess Anyang and the consort, and Shu Li also took the roasted chestnuts he just bought from the street. , asked while eating.
"Sister Liu Ye, what are the quarrels between Princess Anyang and the Prince Consort this time? I remember they had a quarrel last time because Anyang went back without waiting for the Prince Consort at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
"Mr. Chu, how do you know these things? This is not a big deal." Su Liuye was confused.
Chu San smiled calmly and said, "Sister Liu Ye, have you forgotten? My family has many contacts with the royal family, and I have several relatives who work in the palace, so I naturally know these things. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is held in the palace. Held, happened to be seen.”
"is that so?"
The doubts in Su Liuye's heart were not eliminated, but she could also tell that Chu San didn't want to say more. She thought for a while and said vaguely, "What happened in the princess's palace today was not a quarrel between the prince consort and the princess..." Thinking about it, she felt a little heartbroken, "Princess Anyang doesn't know why she cares so much about the prince consort. What happened today If the matter at the Princess's Mansion was different for ordinary people, I'm afraid the government would have made a divorce."
Chu San raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "What is so serious? Are you going to make peace with the government?"
