Apei said: "His Highness will not treat the Qinglong Guards lightly. In fact, the Qinglong Guards will become the royal guards in the future. This is something His Highness has promised a long time ago. Therefore, everyone has the patience to serve His Highness loyally and does not think about it." Of glory and wealth."
Leng Xiao sighed, but now they have been despised, and even talking about getting married is a problem.
Indeed, the emperor's deliberate suppression has also caused the people around the prince to lose their due status.
Even Mr. Lu is much more low-key now, keeping a low profile and biding his time. The East Palace has finally reached its lowest ebb since Nangong Yitian was canonized as the crown prince.
"Qinglongwei cannot tell others about many things, so it doesn't matter what others think. Let's wait and see later." Ape said.
Leng Xiao chins his head slightly, but still needs to take a longer view.
Over at the Jin Palace, Concubine Xiao also had a strategy.
In fact, in order for the Su family to break off the engagement, it would be best to slander the reputation of spiritual cultivation.
However, Lingxiu has always been elusive, and it is not easy to slander his reputation. After all, slander requires some specious evidence.
It costs a lot of money to create evidence, and it also costs a lot of money to get people to spread the word. You can't just find someone to talk about it outside and it will spread.
She needs to use the least amount of money to do the most appropriate thing.
She asked Caiying to bribe a doctor, and asked the doctor to follow her instructions if someone came to ask for spiritual advice.
After buying off the doctor, she invited Mr. Su's wife to come out for tea at Wangjiang Tower.
Mrs. Su didn't care too much about the marriage of her concubine. Anyway, it wasn't her own birth, so as long as she didn't lose her face, that was fine.
But after hearing what Concubine Xiao said, she was shocked, "Is what Concubine said true? Is spiritual practice really inhumane? But I have never heard of this."
Concubine Xiao said: "I also learned about this incident by accident. I felt unwell a few days ago and asked Dr. Zhou to come over to check my pulse and prescribe medicine. I only learned about this from Dr. Zhou's medicine boy, who said that the spiritual practice was I went on an expedition with His Highness the Crown Prince and was injured on the battlefield, which seriously damaged me. Now I am taking medicine from Doctor Zhou every month for treatment, but I still haven’t recovered yet.”
Mrs. Su frowned, "But outsiders don't know about this."
Concubine Xiao said: "That's right, outsiders don't know, so after my concubine marries Lingxiu and has no income during the year, everyone will speculate that my concubine is infertile. I remember that my wife has a legitimate daughter who has not yet given birth to hairpins... "
Mrs. Su is not worried about this. Being unable to have children is not a moral impairment, it is just a physical disability.
That was not her biological daughter, and she didn't care.
However, Concubine Xiao told her about the matter, which meant that she knew about it in advance but still let the concubine marry Lingxiu. If the matter went out in the future, Concubine Xiao would tell the public that she would marry Lingxiu in advance. Knowing that, she has gained the reputation of being a mean concubine and delaying concubines.
This is absolutely impossible.
Leng Xiao looked at her face and smiled slightly, "Madam, it actually doesn't matter. Ling Xiu is the person next to His Highness, and he will be successful in the future. If my concubine and him cannot have children, it will be the same if they adopt someone from another family."
Mrs. Su was very angry, but she had to say with a smile: "Thank you, concubine, for informing me. I, a woman, can't decide on this marriage. I have to go back and discuss it with the officials."
"Indeed, it is difficult to be a legitimate mother. If you make any mistakes, you will have a reputation of not treating your concubine well, and it will also affect your child's future. I understand this."
Mrs. Su was already scolding her in her heart. She forced a smile to say goodbye to her, and immediately went back home and sent for Dr. Zhou to ask.
Doctor Zhou was reluctant to tell at first, saying that he didn't know about it. After Mrs. Su gave her some money, he hesitated and said that it was true.
Mrs. Su was furious. It seemed that neither Princess Jin nor Concubine Xiao were good people.
