Drunk House Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Fengyi Palace (one more)

Coming out of Yu An, Su Rong finally went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

In Fengyi Palace, the queen heard that Su Rong had entered the palace for trial early in the morning, and wanted to find her, but after thinking about it again and again, she still didn't leave, and only waited for her in the palace.

That day, the little maid used a golden needle to assassinate her. If it wasn't for Su Rong, she and the eldest princess Sheng'an would surely have died. If the two of them had an accident together, it would be a fatal blow to the prince.

So, the queen thanked Su Rong from the bottom of her heart.

She waited for a day, and finally at dusk, when she arrived at Su Ronglai, she greeted her personally at the gate of Fengyi Palace. At a glance, she saw a little girl walking with an umbrella, wearing a cape of white fox fur.

The queen was taken aback.

The nurse who served beside her said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the white fox fur cloak worn by Miss Su Qi was given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said that he would give it to the future Crown Princess.

The Queen nodded, "Really?"

White foxes are rare. The white fox fur in Yan Huisheng's hands was also hunted by chance when he was young. It was just one piece. Later, when his subordinates heard that the crown prince loved white fox fur, they searched everywhere and got a few more. Concubine Guizheng asked for it after learning about it.

Now Su Rong is wearing a white fox fur cloak, except for the one given by the prince, there is really nowhere to find one in the world.

Su Rong quickly came to the front, and greeted the queen with a smile, "The empress."

The queen came back to her senses, and quickly held her hand, "Excuse me."

Su Rong's hands were very warm today, but the queen wore less clothes, and came out in a hurry, her finger bones were a bit cold. Su Rong held the Queen's hand instead, and while helping her warm her hand, she walked into the palace, "Your Majesty is too polite, we are on our own, I don't need you to welcome me."

The queen smiled and said, "Okay, next time you come again, I won't welcome you."

The two of them were talking and entered the inner hall. The wind and snow were suddenly blocked outside, and the inside of the hall was warm.

Su Rong untied the white fox fur cloak, and immediately a nun carefully took it over, folded it for her and put it aside. The serving maid hurriedly made hot tea and handed it to Su Rong to warm her hands.

The queen asked Su Rong, "Is the investigation going well?"

Su Rong nodded, "It's pretty smooth."

The queen said: "Let's live in the palace today, just live here in this palace. Don't bother to leave the palace on this snowy day."

Su Rong declined with a smile, "It's just a few steps away, so don't bother Madam, I'll leave after talking with Madam. There are still things outside the palace."

The queen didn't force her when she heard the words, "Then leave the palace after dinner?"

Su Rong can agree to this, "Sure, I will bother you at the empress's place for dinner."

The empress said with a smile that she would not bother her, and immediately ordered someone to go on. At the same time, she said to Su Rong with a smile: "Your brother Feng Ling, since he came to the palace, he is about to go to the imperial dining room."

Su Rong snorted softly, "He came to the palace to protect the empress, why is he so out of tune? I'll train him later."

The empress smiled and shook her head, "He brought two people here. On the first day, he helped me check the people around me, and cleared out the two people with malicious intentions. I went to the imperial dining room because I saw that there was no danger around me. That's what I said, so don't scold him. That child is very happy. After he came, Fengyi Palace was full of excitement."

Su Rong nodded, "Since the empress said so, I won't discipline him."

Feng Ling knows which is more important. Although he is a foodie, he will never delay his business. Going to the imperial dining room is probably just a cover.

The two chatted a few more gossips, the queen knew that Su Rong didn't just come to visit her specially, but for the sake of the case, so she dismissed all the servants around her, and the two talked in private.

Treating the queen is different from treating others. Prince Yan Huisheng's mother puts the prince first. Therefore, after she dismissed her, Su Rong said bluntly: "As for the concubine precious, the empress is in charge of the six palaces. You should be more clear about it. You might as well tell me about the concubine precious."

The queen was taken aback for a moment, and asked keenly: "Concubine Zhen is related to this case?"

"It's just a guess at the moment." Su Rong said conservatively.

The queen felt that if it was just a guess, Su Rong would not have mentioned the precious concubine to her in the first sentence, and there must have been something involved. She thought for a while and said, "Precious concubine was drafted into the palace by Nanping. At that time, it was not said that there was no one like her among the beautiful women, even in the harem, she was not like her. In terms of beauty, she is naturally extremely bright. But your majesty is not someone who has never seen beauties, not to mention his cousin, you are your mother Princess Zhenmin, who was famous in the capital when she was young. It's a flash in the pan, a fleeting moment. She's a beauty who's more than just beautiful, and that's a big deal."

Su Rong nodded.

The queen said again: "After she entered the palace, she was very good at being a person. She didn't act violently because of her beauty, nor did she show off her power because of her majesty's favor. Although she was not too low-key, she was really not ostentatious. She once surrendered to the palace in private, saying that her mother died of dystocia when she was born, and her father hated her. , fell into a curling pot in winter and hurt her body. Even if she enters the palace now, she will hardly have children. She is not a threat from this palace. The reason why she enters the palace is firstly because of the situation, and secondly, because she wants to live a better life for the rest of her life. At least, she will not be bullied by others. Please ask this palace to give her a place to stay."

Su Rong nodded.

The queen said again: "There are too many beauties in the harem. As a queen, I have a prince by my side. Naturally, what I want is not His Majesty's love. This is useless to me. As long as the prince is healthy, grows up safely, and will ascend the throne smoothly in the future. For a person who will not have children, I will naturally buy her and will not deal with her. And precious concubine is also good at it. Although she wasn't going to help, she didn't step on it, and she didn't help Concubine De, Concubine Xian, etc."

Su Rong answered: "When I was in Jiangning County, I heard that precious concubine is calling the wind and rain in the harem?"

"This is an exaggeration, but it's not enough." The queen shook her head, "It's just that your majesty loves the noble concubine, so naturally he will give her good things. Over time, it spread from the palace to the outside of the palace, and from the court to the outside of Beijing, resulting in her reputation today." Speaking of this, the queen seemed to think of something, and glanced at the cloak worn by Su Rong, which was carefully placed aside by the mother, "Three years ago, she asked the prince for white fox fur, do you know?"

Su Rong nodded, "I heard that Empress Li and Eunuch Yu An mentioned this matter."

The queen asked tentatively: "Did the prince not mention this cloak when he gave it to you?"

Su Rong shook her head, with a calm face, "Because I don't like to hug Mrs. Tang everywhere I go, Your Highness saw me rubbing my hands yesterday, so someone gave me this cloak. It said it was light and warm, and nothing else was mentioned."

The queen smiled kindly and said: "That's why he didn't like to mention it. Since you know it from other people, I don't need to talk about it anymore. Take this cloak as an example. She didn't know what she was thinking at the time. She used it to test the palace and the prince, or she just wanted it. In short, the prince didn't give it in the end, which annoyed His Majesty. She persuaded her. For so many years, she has only stretched out her paw once in front of this palace, or in front of the prince. "

"As for other things..." the queen said: "Because His Majesty collected Firefox fur from other places to make her happy. Since then, she has become a lot more high-profile. Specifically, she has done anything, but it seems that she has nothing. She often brings ginseng soup to the imperial study to find His Majesty. She would not do this before, at least, she would not dare to do it to provoke the eyes of the harem. But in the past two or three years, she has no scruples."

Su Rong was thoughtful, "That day when I came out of His Majesty's imperial study, I saw the precious concubine from a distance. It turned out that she was sending ginseng soup to Your Majesty."

The Queen nodded, "She will not stay here for a long time, and she will leave after seeing off. Occasionally, she meets courtiers, and she is also very tactful. She waits patiently and does not disturb His Majesty's court affairs. Therefore, the courtiers turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and will not easily offend and impeach her because of this matter."
