Chapter 275 Palace Gate

Su Yiqing didn't say anything about Madam Qing's questions, and lowered her head to drink tea. Madam Qing was so old that these things should be taught by Madam, not by Madam. If Madam Qing couldn't even see through this, then let her take a break.

However, Madam Xiang, who came to serve her in the Ding Mansion, explained with a smile, "Madam Qing, you don't know anything. You should be very careful when giving gifts to the king's mansion, and it seems to be flattering. It is inconvenient for people to accept them. Even if you barely accept them, you have to worry about returning an equally expensive portion, which makes people uncomfortable. It is just right for the elders to taste fresh fruit."

Madam Qing was upset. She didn't understand such a simple truth, but she was just anxious for a moment and wanted to show her face in front of the princess. She knew that although she was following the princess' dowry, she had no feelings for the princess. Not to mention her, even the mother-daughter relationship between Madam Meng and the princess was still faint. If she didn't find a way out, she would be left aside. Seeing Madam Xiang's behavior, she wanted to fight for power. She had to work harder and not make any mistakes anymore.

The third day of the wedding was supposed to be the day when the newlyweds returned to the door for three dynasties, but it happened to be the day when the foreign wife entered the palace. As a princess, she should go to the palace to pay homage to the empress and the concubines in the palace according to the rules. The folk customs cannot overcome the imperial power. Therefore, in the early morning, the sky was still pitch black and there was no light. Su Yiqing got up and dressed up with Lian Yufeng under the maid's service. Lian Yufeng was a man who was easy to deal with. After washing up, she picked up a book and read it while waiting for Su Yiqing. Su Yiqing put on makeup and combed her hair around a bunch of maids, and four or five maids surrounded her. Her makeup was even more rigorous than when she got married.

After putting on makeup, facing the mirror, she brought heavy and bright jewelry that was no less than when she got married. The face in the mirror was not hers anymore. She applied a thick layer of rouge and water powder. Although it was still very beautiful, it was too delicate and gorgeous, and it was not her style. But it was not her style when she was a different person. But it was beneficial to think about it. At least she couldn't tell if she blushed and white.

Lian Yufeng admired it with great interest, and then laughed after getting on the carriage: "It should be added to Green Teng and the others in monthly payments. It's so amazing, it's like a change of face."

Su Yiqing gave him a blank look and said, "What do you men like? It's better to buy a piece of painting paper and draw a beautiful woman on it without fermi grain to keep it. It's easier to save trouble."

Lian Yufeng laughed, "How is this? How can a person who is motionless in painting compare to a lively and beautiful real person? In fact, you can't say that men judge people by their appearance. You women say it nicely. Men only know how to learn about their character, but how can they measure their character? Is it good to have a clean and honest body without any fortune? As for those who learn it. Those who cannot be replaced by wealth, rice, oil and salt are afraid they cannot be considered real talent. After all, everyone chooses one that they prefer. Of course, it would be better."

"That's the truth, but it's not that good to say it openly." Su Yiqing smiled slightly, "People have bad habits, and sometimes it's inevitable that they can't resist temptation. In order to show openness, they yell around and even take pride in this way, which is despicable. The ancients said that food and sex are also the same, and most people in the world are like this. Few can avoid vulgarity, so some noble character is still worthy of praise. If everyone is not ashamed of lust, what will this world become?"

Su Yiqing remembered that at first sight, she had to admit that her love for him at first sight was due to his outstanding appearance, but judging people by appearance was not a glorious thing. She didn't dare to say it calmly that she was attracted to his appearance, but this appearance was just the beginning after all, and then it was in the inner world. But she had to admit that if he didn't have the appearance that could make her fall in love with him at first sight, they wouldn't have had any beginning.

"So even if you don't like men, three wives and four concubines, you never say it?" Lian Yufeng raised his eyebrows, "Just for that virtuous reputation?"

"Who said I won't say it?" Su Yiqing blurted out and looked embarrassed. She kept saying it explicitly, but the person she was talking about was not him.

Even Yufeng obviously thought of the imperial edict that Zhao Boyang asked for back then.

The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became awkward, and this topic obviously could not continue. Su Yiqing thought that there must be one of the couples who took a step back. Since that is the case, what's the point of retreating, so she opened the topic and said, "By the way, I haven't told me about the empress in the palace and how the empresses of each palace are like? Are there any taboos?"

Even Yufeng followed the steps and said warmly: "If you talk about the taboos in the palace, there are many things that can't be explained clearly for a while. As long as you remember the most important thing, talk less, say more mistakes, and don't talk much, you will be shy. At most, you will be dull and unrighteous. If you say too much, you may make a mistake. If you say too much, you may make a mistake. For example, the concubine Yan in the palace has been damaged and is about to give birth. Congratulations to him when he meets Yan, but the concubine who has no children will be unhappy, especially... the queen has no children."

"Don't there be a third prince under the empress?" Su Yiqing opened her eyes wide. She had always heard that the current situation in the Zhou Dynasty was somewhat unclear because the third prince produced by the empress has not been made the crown prince yet. The emperor prefers the eighth prince produced by the imperial concubine Ming. However, the eighth prince is still young and Concubine Ming has a low origin and has no support from relatives. But this may be the place that the emperor likes, so he has always praised Concubine Ming.

Lian Yufeng was silent for a moment before saying, "The third prince was not the queen's biological son, but he was not born in the legitimate son when he was fighting for the throne. He directly recorded the son of the palace life in the name of the queen who was still the princess at that time. At that time, the emperor was still in the fiefdom, and intentionally confuses the public, so he misunderstood that it was the princess. This incident was later revealed, and the emperor was privately scolded by the late emperor... After all, it was a scandal. The late emperor could not bear the embarrassment of his son, and he would not mention it after the reprimand, and let the chief of the clan count the child as the legitimate son in the jade pendant to become the queen."

"Is this okay?" Su Yiqing felt a little incredible. The difference between legitimate and illegitimate is a serious crime to use legitimate to reap legitimate, and ordinary families are taboo, let alone the royal family.

Even Yufeng's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, "What's wrong? The late emperor was not the legitimate son of the queen back then... The emperor, he would praise anyone who wanted to praise him. As long as he recognized him, how could others say too much?"

Su Yiqing expressed her understanding, which is why everyone has to compete for that position. It doesn’t mean that that chair is really more comfortable than other chairs, but that the feeling of being a life-and-killer is controlled in his own hands.

Lian Yufeng continued, "Just pretend you don't know about this and you know it. After all, this is not a secret in the royal family, but most people outside don't know it, and no one dares to discuss it in public. It is well known that the Queen and Concubine Ming are not in harmony. However, the one who loves the most today is probably the Concubine Yan, which is not a good thing. At that time, you can answer whatever they ask. Don't say two words if you can answer one word, don't worry too much. With my current status, I have not clearly supported one side, and they are all trying to win over it, so I don't dare to make things too difficult for you."

Su Yiqing nodded, "I remember."

On the carriage, Lian Yufeng taught the opportunity to the face for half a day, and then Su Yiqing didn't have the chance to use it.

Because I waited outside the palace gate for a long time, no palace servants came out to summon them in. A circle of wives and palace ministers had gathered outside the palace outside the palace. From time to time, people got off the carriage and pretended to move their hands and feet, but in fact they wanted to inquire.

Lian Yufeng's face couldn't help but become solemn. Judging from his experience, something might have happened.

From dawn to midday, no one came to Xuan. Fortunately, even Yufeng was prepared, there was a small stove in the carriage and some snacks to satisfy his hunger. People walked around outside the carriage from time to time, and even Yufeng finally got off the carriage. Su Yiqing saw him and a few men wearing python robes and jade belts whispering something.

After a long time, he came back and sighed, "I'm afraid I can't see you today. It's reported in the palace that Concubine Yan had a fetal aura last night and had not been born yet, so it might be very dangerous."

Su Yiqing was shocked. It was not that she was cruel and was indifferent to this kind of tragedy. But the first thing she thought of was herself. She encountered such a thing when she first entered the palace. What would it be for Yan Fei to do? Will anyone take advantage of the problem and say that she had bumped into something?

Lian Yufeng seemed to guess Su Yiqing's concern, shook her cold hand, and said, "Don't worry, if something really happens, first of all, the ones people are talking about should be Princess Xiangshan. She married the sixth prince yesterday, and the sixth prince did not live in separate houses, so she was a relative in the palace."

Princess Xiangshan of Meng clan, Su Yiqing remembered it. At first, she was worried that she would make up Yufeng's idea. Later, she heard that it was not. She was curious about who such a princess would marry. But her wedding date was approaching and everything was messy, so she didn't have to ask. Even Yufeng mentioned it once yesterday and said that she might have to attend the wedding, but in the end she chose to stay at home with her.

Then a thought flashed through Su Yiqing's mind, but it flashed through her, and she instantly despised herself. Hey! How could she have such a despicable thought after she just became a princess? She actually wanted to take advantage of this unfortunate incident.

No, you must not be like this in life. You cannot do things that cannot be put on the table of justice.

Even Yufeng didn't know what he was thinking, frowned slightly, and his eyes looked towards the direction of the palace through the curtain of the car.

Su Yiqing suddenly felt that it was not because he had a good understanding of his heart. He now had the same idea as her, right?

No one spoke in the palace, and no one on the carriage outside dared to leave. They waited until the sun set and met with each other and went home only after they went home. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come)
