Qingping felt that it was not easy for her after so many years.
Over the years, she has been criticized and looked down upon by others, saying that she behaves perversely and cannot teach her daughter well. Although the prince-in-law married her, he never liked her. Although he did not dare to take concubines or raise extramarital affairs like other princes-in-law. She dared to visit the brothel, but she was always cold-faced with him, often quarreled, and her life was miserable. She said she deserved it.
She could only endure it. After all, it was her own marriage. She could only swallow the grievances she felt. But now, hearing what he said and his words, she suddenly felt that she did not regret what she had asked for.
At the very least, after all these years, his heart had been warmed by her. Until the day he died, he still told her that she deserved it.
No matter what outsiders say, only she knows the days behind closed doors, and she is not too unhappy. She can lose her temper whenever she wants. Although the prince-in-law has a cold face, he has never done anything to her, and she was Just pester him and coax him. Apart from the gossip outside, she really couldn't say anything bad.
She is used to being arrogant and lets others say whatever they like, but she can't block everyone's mouth.
Precisely because she was not too unhappy, no matter what outsiders said about her daughter, she did not forcefully control Duanhua. The temperaments of mother and daughter were so similar that she knew she couldn't control him, but Zhou Gu was not a prince-in-law. The Duke Protector's Palace and Princess Sheng'an were both his shields. There was no way she could ask the emperor to just ignore him and do the next thing. Imperial decree.
I originally thought of starting with Su Rong, but who knew, before I started, Su Rong was brought into the house as a guest by her daughter. The two were still arguing, and the daughter did not allow her to call Su Rong the concubine.
This is really...
Qingping really didn't expect this direction. But now, as the prince consort said, it's not a bad thing.
She reached out to hold the consort's hand, "Let's not fight anymore, right?"
The prince-in-law held her hand instead and made a condition, "Then you can't lose your temper with me at will in the future. Don't come back one day to lose your temper with me because you didn't buy the new hairpin from Baoxiang Pavilion."
Qingping blushed, "Let's do it!"
She didn't lose her temper because she didn't buy a hairpin, but she lost her temper with him when she heard others secretly criticizing her, but she let it go and didn't tell him. She won't be angry if others talk about her in the future.
Because the prince-in-law said, she is not to blame. If others want to talk, just say it, and she will treat it as if they are not talking about her.
The couple talked to each other and felt much relieved.
Qingping also didn't expect that because of Su Rong, she thought that the consort who still blamed her for many years could be solved so easily. After receiving his affirmation, she felt happy, and she was very happy about Su Rong moving into the princess mansion. My son, I don’t hold on to him anymore.
Live if you love it!
Therefore, when Mrs. Guo Gong came to the door and saw Princess Qingping with a smile on her face and greeted her with a smile, Mrs. Guo Gong's heart suddenly "thumped" for a moment, thinking that it was not good, otherwise why would Princess Qingping be like this? happy? Ever since Duan Hua fell in love with Zhou Gu and was too tight, she knew that Duan Hua was not allowed to be seen by the Duke Protector's Palace. Every time she faced people from the Duke Protector's Palace, she always had a cold face and no smile. Could this smile today really be a trick on Su Rong?
"It's getting late. I came here rashly and disturbed the princess. I hope you'll forgive me." The Duke's wife looked at Princess Qingping and wondered whether it would be better to speak directly or to speak tactfully.
Before she could figure it out, Princess Qingping, who was in a good mood, said directly: "It's indeed a bit disturbing. The Duke's wife doesn't come to the door of my princess's house easily. Now she comes to the door at night, is it for Miss Su Qi?"
The Duke's wife was stunned. She didn't expect her to be so direct, so she simply nodded along with her words, "Yes, I heard that Su Rong was invited by the princess to come to the princess mansion as a guest?"
Qingping raised his eyebrows, "Where did you hear about this, madam?"
"It's spread all over the street, and the princess palace has never concealed it deliberately. It's easy to hear." Madam Guogong was not sure about Qing Ping's attitude, but no matter what, she must see Su Rong tonight, and tell Su Rong Take it away, "The princess knows that Su Rong is engaged to Brother Gu. She has just come to Beijing. She is new here. The Duke's Mansion should take care of her. How can she come to the Princess Mansion to disturb the princess?"
"Don't bother me." Princess Qingping thought to herself: "How can the Duke's Mansion treat Su Rongzhen?"
As soon as Su Rong came to the princess mansion, the Duke's wife got the news and came after her. Su Rong also said that she was canceling the engagement. I don't know if she was really fooling Duan Hua or pretending to be.
When the Duke's wife saw her admitting that Su Rong was in the princess's mansion, she breathed a sigh of relief. Just admit it. She was afraid that if Qingping refused to admit it, she would have to make a fuss. She smiled and said: "I came here specially to take her back to the mansion. "
Qingping nodded politely, "Miss Su Qi and Duan Hua hit it off immediately. She came to stay at the Princess Mansion voluntarily. Madam is here to pick her up. I wonder if she is willing to come with you. Why don't you go and ask yourself!"
The Duke's wife was frightened. When did Qingping become so easy to talk to? She thought she was going to spend a lot of time, but who knew that with a few words, she readily agreed. She didn't know what Qingping had in mind, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart and nodded happily, "Princess, please appoint someone to guide me. "
"I will take my wife there myself. She lives in Duanhua's courtyard." Qingping turned around and led the way, "Madam, come with me!"
The Duke's wife followed her inside, becoming increasingly suspicious of fraud.
Soon I arrived at the Cangjiao Pavilion in Duanhua. I saw that the Cangjiao Pavilion was brightly lit, and there were maids carrying dishes in the painting hall. The smell of food came from the painting hall.
In the hall, a square table was set up, and three figures sat in front of it, talking and laughing.
I heard a man use his chopsticks very quickly and praise him loudly while eating, "Princess, the chef in your house is really good at cooking. These honey-glazed pork ribs and steamed river fish are really delicious. They are not inferior to those in restaurants outside." Chef, you are so happy to eat such delicious meals every day, right?"
A slender woman also took down her chopsticks quickly and nodded in agreement, "Yeah, yeah, I'm so happy. This pork elbow is also delicious."
The man sighed, "Reincarnation is really a technical job. Princess, are you very good at reincarnation?"
The woman nodded in agreement and sighed, "Yes, princess, how come you are so good at reincarnation? Do you want to transfer some experience to us? We have no chance of reincarnation in the princess's mansion in this life. We can try in the next life."
Duan Hua's familiar voice sounded, as if he was speechless after being praised, "I can't stop you two from eating, so shut up."
The two nodded obediently and shut their mouths.
The Duke's wife suddenly stopped in her steps.
Princess Qingping also stopped, as if she didn't expect her daughter to get along with these two people in such a way. This is too harmonious, no, more than harmonious? It's true that we felt like old friends at first sight. Even as a mother, it was the first time in the world that she had seen Duanhua being so informal with others.
"See you, princess! Madam, please be well!" Some maids and servants saw the visitor and all greeted him.
Princess Qingping coughed lightly, turned to look at the Duke's wife, straightened her back, and said with a smile: "It seems that we came at the right time, the children are having dinner. Madam, haven't had dinner yet?"
Naturally, the Duke's wife didn't have any dinner. After receiving the news, she hurried over and said with a smile, "It's quite the right time."
The painting hall fell silent for a moment, Su Rong and Fengling looked at each other, then both looked at Duan Hua.
Duan Hua was also stunned and whispered to Su Rong: "She is the Duke's wife, Zhou Gu's mother."
Su Rong quickly put down her chopsticks. She never expected that the Duke's wife would hear the news so soon. She thought she would have to wait until tomorrow. Fengling also quickly put down her chopsticks and blinked at Su Rong. Although he didn't say anything, he was obviously asking her what to do? Duan Hua glanced at the two of them, stood up and went out to greet them.
The two of them also quickly stood up and followed her out of the painting hall.
"Mother, Aunt Zhou." Duanhua said politely.
Su Rong knelt down and said, "Princess, madam!"
Fengling also followed suit, saying, "Princess, madam!"
Princess Qingping smiled and said: "Miss Su Qi, this is the Duke's wife. I heard that you were brought to the Princess Mansion by Hua'er as a guest, so I came here specially to have a look."
The Duke's wife's eyes fell on Su Rong, and she was shocked. Is this girl really Su Rong? She didn't believe it, but after carefully looking at her features, she found that her features were very similar to Princess Zhenmin's. She had to believe it. She never imagined that Su Rong would be such a guest in the princess mansion, eating and drinking so much. ,
Talking and laughing with Duan Hua, she is the Duke's wife after all. No matter what she thinks in her heart, her face still has to be tense. She has to ask, "My child, are you really Su Rong?"
Su Rong took a step forward and said obediently, "Madam, I am Su Rong. Su Xu, the governor of Jiangzhou, is my father. I am the seventh in the family. My father, mother, and brothers all call me Xiaoqi."
She knew why the Duke's wife came, so she took out the badge proving her identity from her sleeve and showed it to the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife took the badge and took a closer look, thoroughly confirming that this was really Su Rong.
