Ming Yu was pouting as she ate the lychees. She was very happy to see Pei shi return, but when she saw that Pei shi was accompanied by a woman, she immediately sat up straight. In front of outsiders, she had always been a dignified princess.
"This concubine greets Your Highness." Madam Su had already bowed politely.
Pei shi smiled and said, "This is Madam Su, your youngest aunt's mother."
"Madam Su, you may rise." Ming Yu remembered that she had seen this madam when she visited the Su family before. No wonder she looked familiar.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Madam Su straightened up, her eyes carefully sizing up Ming Yu.
Although Ming Yu was not familiar with Madam Su, she was Youngest Aunt's mother and Madam Pei had brought her here personally. Ming Yu smiled at her. "I heard that these lychees were sent by Madam Su. They are delicious and we all like them very much."
Madam Su was very happy to hear that. "As long as Princess likes it."
Ming Yu saw that Madam Su had not left and guessed that she had come to see her, "Maternal grandmother, Madam Su, please sit."
Pei shi said, "Ming Yu, Madam Su has a niece in the palace. I don't know if you have seen her."
"Who?" Ming Yu was stunned. She did not remember there being anyone from the Su family in the palace.
"Su Jieyu, Su Yingying," Madam Su replied quickly.
Ming Yu suddenly realized, "Ah, I remember now. So it's Su Jieyu. I didn't know she was Madam Su's niece."
Didn't that mean she was cousins with youngest aunt?
Other than going to Lei Bingfu's place every day, she did not have much interaction with the other concubines. She seemed to have seen Su Jieyu before, but she did not have a deep impression of her.
"Although I don't see her every day, I will occasionally meet her in the palace," Ming Yu said.
"I wonder if Su Jieyu … is she well?" Madam Su asked excitedly.
Ming Yu looked at Madam Su doubtfully, "How can Su Jieyu not be well? No one in the palace would bully her."
Madam Su smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I was wrong."
"When I go back, I will tell Su Jieyu," Ming Yu said.
"Okay, okay." Madam Su nodded gratefully.
Pei shi looked at her with a smile.
In fact, Su Furen still had many questions she wanted to ask, but Ming Yu didn't know much about Su Jieyu. She only knew that Su Jieyu was already serving him in bed. As for how the Emperor treated her, it couldn't be seen on the surface.
"Mother, I still have something to tell you. Why don't we not disturb the princess here and go to my room?" Su Xiaoxiao walked to Mrs. Su and whispered.
Madam Pei did not take the initiative to ask Madam Su to stay.
Madame Su smiled and nodded. "Very well." She looked at Ming Yu. "Princess, I will take my leave first."
"Take care, Mrs. Su." Ming Yu put down the lychee in her hand and looked at Mrs. Su with a smile.
…
…
Mrs. Su and Su Xiaoxiao returned to the yard together.
"Mother, why did you come today?" Su Xiaoxiao held Mrs. Su's hand and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Knowing that the Princess is here, I am anxious." Su Furen said. "Listening to the Princess, it seems that she didn't get along with Yingying. I don't know how the Emperor treats Yingying. Being able to serve her in bed, it should be counted as entering the Emperor's eyes."
Su Xiaoxiao was helpless and anxious. "I know you care about your sister, but you didn't come directly to ask the Princess. What will in-laws think of me?"
"It's nothing." Su Furen didn't think so. She didn't see why Pei shi was unhappy. "Don't you always have a good relationship with the Princess? It's not good for me to talk about this. You have to do it. "
"What is it?" Su Xiaoxiao saw that her mother didn't realize that today's visit had any impact on her. She didn't want to explain anymore. Next time, she won't reveal the Princess's visit.
Su Furen took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and entered the room. She sent away all the servants, leaving only the mother and daughter.
"Mother, what is it?" Su Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully. Why was her mother so mysterious?
"I heard that the Princess is very close to Lei Huipin in the palace. Lei Huipin deliberately approached the Princess just to compete for the Princess's favor. I don't know what means she used to coax the Princess. She is not as good as our Yingying. The Princess knows our Su family very well. As long as she helps Yingying stabilize her position in the palace, if Yingying can give birth to a prince in the future, it will be of great benefit to the Princess." Su Furen lowered her voice and said.
Su Xiaoxiao gasped. She didn't know that her mother had such thoughts. She couldn't help but emphasize, "Mother! What are you talking about? "
"Don't you know what I'm talking about?" Su Furen glanced at her daughter. "Think about it. Now the Emperor has no power. As long as Yingying can give birth to a prince, her position in the palace will be different. Maybe she can soar in the future. Don't you want the Su family to stand out?"
"Even if she can give birth to a prince, what does it have to do with Ming Yu?" Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice. "No one can change Ming Yu's position in the palace."
Su Furen smiled. "You don't understand. The Emperor didn't make Ming Yu the Crown Princess. People are selfish. When the Emperor has his own child, he will think differently. At that time, whether he will still regard Princess Ming Yu as the apple of his eye is another matter."
In fact, many people outside the palace were guessing that when the Emperor had his own prince, Ming Yu's position in the palace would certainly not be as good as before. Maybe she would be sent out of the palace.
Who would treat their own child badly? Moreover, Princess Ming Yu's parents were a threat to the Emperor.
"Mother, don't say such words again." Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, "Whether there is an edict or not, Ming Yu is the Princess. Now she is the only Princess. What will happen in the future is not something you and I can predict."
"So we have to prepare for a rainy day." Su Furen said, "If another woman gives birth to a prince, Yingying's position in the palace will not be so noble. Don't you have a good relationship with the Princess? You can test her. As long as the Princess helps our Yingying, the Su Family will not forget her in the future. "
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Furen silently and said after a moment, "I won't tell Ming Yu. If Ming Yu likes Yingying, she will naturally be close to Yingying. As for whether Yingying can be favored or not, it is not something Ming Yu can help."
"Are you still Yingying's sister? You are not willing to help her." Su Furen asked angrily.
"Did Yingying ask someone to pass a message to you?" Su Xiaoxiao's face changed.
Su Furen's face stiffened. "She is in the palace. How can she pass a message to me? I thought of it myself."
"Mother, you don't have to say anything. This matter ends here. I have to entertain the Princess. I can't keep you today. I will go home tomorrow to apologize." Su Xiaoxiao said nothing and sent Su Furen away.
