Su Rong came to the Princess Mansion to stay for a while. It was a spur-of-the-moment idea after meeting Duan Hua, and she also followed the trend with the intention of testing. Her face looked like a face to Grandma Zhao, and it made no sense for Princess Qingping who grew up with her mother. Don't think so.
Therefore, it can also be said that Princess Qingping's Mansion was the one she found for herself as a major supporter after withdrawing from the marriage arrangement at the Duke Protector's Mansion.
Princess Qingping is the emperor's biological sister. Unlike the Protector's Palace, which was feared and guarded by the emperor and was forced to keep a low profile, Princess Qingping's Palace has been favored for many years, so she has always been flamboyant and acted wantonly without any scruples.
This coincided with her temperament and plans. She didn't expect to come to the capital, so she put her tail between her legs and lived a life of humiliation.
Therefore, Qingping Princess Mansion is a good choice.
Now, as expected, as long as Princess Qingping can reminisce about the past, and the consort thinks that her mother-in-law sacrificed her life for justice, it is admirable. If these two people are willing to show goodwill and protection to her, she will be able to do a lot of things in Daliang Capital.
Princess Qingping pulled Su Rong and talked for a long time with red eyes. She didn't stand up until she was tired and left. After taking two steps, she remembered something again and turned back to Su Rong and said, "Are you going to Shen's Mansion tomorrow?" Why don’t you stay at the princess’ mansion?”
Su Rong shook her head, "I have already promised Aunt Shen. If I don't regret it, I will stay there for a while."
Princess Qingping was helpless, "Well, if I had known your life experience earlier, when I saw Cheng Shaoqing at Prince Ruian's Mansion today, I would have pushed Shen Mansion for you."
Cheng Shaoqing is Mrs. Shen's first name.
Su Ronxiao said, "I have lived in the princess's mansion for a long time. If you miss me, princess, I will come to see you often in the future."
Princess Qingping nodded, "Logically speaking, you should call me aunt, but it might be overheard by others, and I'm afraid that your background will be exposed too early, so I'll leave it like that for the time being, and change your name later!"
Su Rong nodded.
Princess Qingping looked at her and seemed to have something to say, but she opened her mouth and finally just said, "You have been talking to me for so long, are you tired? Go and rest!"
Su Ronxiao said, "I'm not tired yet. If you have anything to tell me, it doesn't matter. Don't worry."
Qingping was amused, "You kid, you are much smarter than Duanhua." She simply said directly: "I want to ask you, after you came to Beijing, did you deliberately go to the First Prince's Mansion for the banquet? Why? Do you intend to antagonize the First Prince's Mansion?"
Su Rong nodded, "Well, it was intentional."
"Why? Even though Su Rong has surrendered to the crown prince, your life experience does not require you to be a pawn." Qingping was puzzled.
Su Rong thought to herself that the princess was indeed a princess. Everyone in the palace was good at catching clues and never missed anything amiss. She replied thoughtfully, "After my eldest brother came to Beijing, the eldest prince has set his sights on him. Although it was hindered by Shen Uncle, you didn't do anything, and it didn't affect my eldest brother's scientific examination. But now that the Su family has boarded the ship of the East Palace, they should keep a distance from other princes. Naturally, they can no longer be a mere wallflower. And I was born in the Su family and grew up in the Su family. It is my responsibility to protect the Su family. Those who have trouble with the Su family are those who have trouble with me. Naturally, I cannot be too passive. I have to take the initiative to make trouble for others and cause trouble for others, so that others will not cause trouble for me. , caught me off guard."….
Her reason was so serious that Princess Qingping laughed angrily and reached out to tap her forehead, "Yes, you took advantage of me, which really caught Yan Li off guard. He probably didn't expect that secretly inciting people to impeach your father, instead It caused him to set himself on fire, and Mr. Liu was dismissed from office, which was a disgrace to himself."
After she finished speaking, she laughed again, "Okay, let's go, you can rest!"
Su Rong nodded and sent the two of them out of the Cangjiao Pavilion. A smart person speaks without too much effort. Princess Qingping wanted to use the eldest prince to find out her attitude towards the prince, and she used the Su family to express her position, indicating that she and the Su family stand on the same line and advance and retreat together.
Therefore, Princess Qingping will also understand that as long as the Su family always stands on the line of the East Palace, she will naturally support Prince Yan Huiwei when she returns to Nanchu to seize power in the future. The other princes are not within her scope of consideration at all.
If you choose or not, you will stand in line and leave it to the Princess Mansion to decide.
If she doesn't take sides, Princess Qingping is the aunt of the princes, any one of them
Even if the prince ascends the throne, she will still be a princess. But the treatment is naturally different from standing in line. After standing in line, it is as close as family and life, and as distant as life and death enemies. The bet is big, the win is big, and the loss is big.
Duanhua woke up from sleep and walked out of the room in a daze. He saw Su Rong standing under the eaves of the door, holding a fallen leaf and twisting it in her hand. The setting sun hit her body. She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. What.
She shouted softly: "Su Rong."
Su Rong turned around and smiled at her, "Are you awake?"
Duan Hua nodded and reached out to hold her hand, "What are you thinking about? Why are you standing here motionless?"
Su Rong sighed, "I was thinking, your parents have such a good relationship. They held hands when they left. I have never seen my father and mother walking hand in hand."
Duan Hua didn't expect that she was thinking about this, "When I was young, their relationship was not good. They fought every three days and quarreled every other day. In the past few years, they have stopped quarreling. Especially since you came to the Princess Mansion, The two of them don’t know what’s going on, but they are so inseparable.”
Duan Hua shuddered, "I'm so old, it's really hard to understand."
Su Rong was amused.
Duan Hua said again: "You have six sisters, and there are six aunts in the prefecture now. It would be strange if your father had a good relationship, okay?"
"Their relationship is not bad at all. It's my mother who has the final say if they don't quarrel. My mother is generous, but don't even think about being intimate with my father. She often wants to kick him out of the house." Su Rong would not envy other people's parents at first, but they were born in the same royal family with different fates. Princess Qingping had a smooth life for half her life, and her strong-willed consort was still very sweet even now, while her mother fell into the trap of a long-lost woman. The consequences of loss.
She dragged Duanhua back to the house, "It's getting cold. You went out wearing such thin clothes. Hurry back to the house." She rubbed her hands. "This autumn wind is like a knife. I only stood for a while and I felt cold." Already."
Duan Hua followed Su Rong back to the house and muttered, "Fengling is not here suddenly, it's so quiet."
Su Rong thought to herself that it was not quiet. You were asleep and you didn’t know. Your mother held me and cried for a long time, which made my heart numb.
Speaking of Fengling, Duan Hua asked again: "Is there any news? Has the thief been caught?"...
Su Rong shook his head, "How could it be so fast? Didn't the princess say that we only have three days to catch the thief?"
"What if you can't catch him? Will that person come back to kill you?" Duan Hua said, "Fengling hasn't even caught up with him yet. The thief's martial arts are so high and his legs and feet are so fast. Don't go to Shen's Mansion tomorrow." ? It’s better to stay at the princess mansion.”
Su Ronxiao, as expected of a mother and daughter, didn't want her to leave. She patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my martial arts are not bad either. Jing Zhaoyin can't catch him. There is also Dali Temple. Sooner or later, he can catch her. Now the whole city Martial law has been imposed, and the thieves cannot get out of the city or leave in such a short period of time."
The thief's purpose was to kill her, but he was charged with the assassination of a princess. This matter was serious. The governor of Jingzhao issued a military order, and with the cooperation of Dali Temple, he would not give up until the capital was turned upside down. .
Su Rong's guess was correct. Li Shu, the governor of Jingzhao City, was determined to catch the thief. With the emperor's orders in hand, he vigorously searched the capital.
Therefore, for a time, in addition to a few residences such as the Princess Mansion and the East Palace, even the residences of noble and important ministers in the court were searched one after another. Not to mention the mansions of ordinary people were turned upside down.
The entire capital city was filled with roars of wind and cranes, soldiers were everywhere, and the whole city was under martial law.
In the East Palace, Grand Tutor Qin was very confused, "How could someone assassinate Princess Qingping? Has Princess Qingping offended someone recently? She couldn't be the one who made the eldest prince kill her just because she was protecting the daughter of Su Xu, the governor of Jiangzhou." ? This shouldn’t be the case, the eldest prince will not be so stupid, especially since His Majesty has just beaten the eldest prince, he does not dare to act rashly."
Yan nodded in response, "Master is right."
When Su Rong lived in the East Palace, he had been avoiding Taifu Qin, and Yan Huisheng had no intention of telling Taifu Qin about Su Rong. Therefore, Taifu Qin did not know that the assassination was aimed at Su Rong, but Not for Princess Qingping.
Although Yan Huisheng did not witness the assassination of Su Rong at that time, he also knew that the assassin wanted to assassinate Su Rong, not Princess Qingping. But in public
When the Lord is traveling, if someone shoots a cold arrow, no matter who it is aimed at, it can be directed at Princess Qingping.
He said: "The thieves are so bold and confident. The forces in the capital are so intertwined. How do you know there is no conspiracy behind it? I am afraid that Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple alone will not be able to find out in a short time. I have someone to help them secretly. I hope it will happen soon." Apprehend the thieves and maintain public security in the capital. We will not tolerate thieves running rampant in broad daylight."
Grand Tutor Qin agreed, "We have people in Dali Temple. Although Li Shu from Jing Zhaoyin is your Majesty's, if you help him get through this, he will definitely be grateful and accept your kindness."
Yan Hui nodded, "Gu doesn't need everyone to take refuge in Gu. He only needs them to be in his position and pursue his political goals. Not only to express his gratitude to the emperor, but also to the common people. Li Shu said that it's okay to be an official, but not to flatter others. It's hard to bully someone."
Tai Fu Qin nodded, "Your Highness is right.".
