Su Qingcheng waved the maids away and asked in surprise: "How did you know he was coming?"

No matter how polite the princess was, she almost choked on the soup in her mouth when she heard these words: "What? He is really here, you..."

She glanced ambiguously at Su Qingcheng up and down, and said excitedly: "That's right, I tell you, you smell like a woman all over your body."

"What are you thinking about?" Su Qingcheng ignored her teasing and sat down to eat. "If you want a bridal chamber, you can't have it in the palace."

But in fact, when Su Qingcheng was in love last night, she did have this thought, no matter where she was.

"I thought you were so bold." The eldest princess said disappointedly.

Su Qingcheng stopped the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and asked tentatively: "Your father passed away, how come I don't see any sadness on your face?"

The eldest princess glanced around to make sure there was no one around, and said: "I'm telling you something, but don't tell it."

"Yeah." Su Qingcheng said.

"My mother called me over last night and said that my father faked his death in order to find someone among the third and fourth brothers who could inherit the throne." The eldest princess said.

Su Qingcheng had already heard about this from Emperor Dong Ling and the Imperial Concubine last night. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, she pretended to be surprised: "Such a thing could happen?"

"I was very surprised when I heard it at the time. My father was too messy. Such a serious matter as life and death could be used as a test." The eldest princess said.

From her expression, Su Qingcheng guessed that the eldest princess might not know another reason why the emperor chose to use this method...

"How is the emperor going to test him?" Su Qingcheng asked. She was driven away by the imperial concubine when she heard this yesterday.

"My mother doesn't know," the eldest princess said. "She said she wants me to wait and see what happens, and think carefully about who I am going to help, which will benefit me the most in the future."

Su Qingcheng thought thoughtfully and said: "If the soldiers come to block it, if the water comes and the earth comes to cover it, there will always be a way. Eat it."

After hearing this, the eldest princess stopped talking about it, but she remembered other things. She glanced at Su Qingcheng, who looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, and said, "What you said last time about my getting married...who do you think is suitable?" ?”

Su Qingcheng almost forgot about this. If the fourth prince came to power, then the eldest princess would not have to worry about the illegitimate child being exposed, but if it were Ouyang Yu, he would definitely not let her go...

She thought like this and said: "Young Master Zhou is too old and is addicted to gambling, so that won't work. Young Master Li is greedy for beauty, and all the girls in the courtyard are brought out from Yihong Courtyard, so that won't work."

"Wait, how do you know so clearly?" the eldest princess said.

Su Qingcheng, a Nanye native who had just come to Dongling, knew everything about such a private matter.

"It was in King Yunan's information, and I took a quick look at it." Su Qingcheng said without hesitation.

If it were in the past, she would definitely find some excuse to get over it, but after going through so many things, there is no need to hide anything between her and the eldest princess.

"I didn't expect that King Yunan has such great powers? I have to quickly order someone to find his informant in Dongling." The eldest princess sighed.

"I really don't know about this." Su Qingcheng waved her hands, afraid that she would ask the same question.

"Don't worry, even if you really know I won't ask you," the eldest princess said, "Go on, tell me, what other young master can't do it?"

"Not even Zhao Qian, Sun Li, can do it," Su Qingcheng said, "What do you think of Mr. Man?"

"No, no, no!" The eldest princess's fierce reply aroused Su Qingcheng's suspicion.

"Why do you have such a big reaction? Didn't you get along very well last time at Fengyun Mountain?"

In order to cover up her embarrassment, the eldest princess pretended to cough a few times. Her trembling eyelashes still betrayed her nervousness: "I don't have it. It's just that Mr. Man's status is too low to be worthy of me. I am the only daughter of Queen Dongling and the only eldest daughter of Dongling." Princess."

Su Yizhi was the young genius general of Nanye, the son of Su Qingcang, and the brother-in-law of King Yunan.

Su Qingcheng thought like this and said: "When did you care about status? He has been with the fourth prince for so long, so his moral character and talents are naturally good. His literary skills and military skills are among the best I have ever seen."

She did not recommend Su Yizhi for no reason. Last time she saw him holding the eldest princess in Fengyun Mountain, the feeling between the two was very strange. Su Qingcheng couldn't help but wonder if they had known each other before...

Combined with what Su Yizhi said, his body was poisonous back then.

"Even if I agree, my mother will not agree. Besides, how do you know he hasn't been pretending for so many years." The eldest princess looked indifferent, with a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.

When Su Qingcheng saw this, she stopped continuing the topic and concentrated on eating the sumptuous breakfast in front of her.

If things really go as she thinks, then her brother still has a long way to go to pursue his wife...

Su Qingcheng returned to Lily Pavilion after eating. She had nothing to do but wander around, and unexpectedly found an abandoned swing in the backyard of Lily Pavilion.

This swing looks very similar to the one in the backyard of Su Mansion, but it has a little more Dongling flavor.

"Who lived here before?" Su Qingcheng became interested and asked.

She thought that although Chuntao and Qiuxiang were young, they might have grown up in the palace and heard about the Queen's best friend in Baihe Pavilion.

"I don't know, my slave, but the Queen has ordered that no one else except her is allowed to enter here," Chuntao said.

"Anyway, it's idle time. Let's repair this swing." Su Qingcheng said.

Chuntao was very frightened and said: "How can the princess do it herself? I will find someone to repair it immediately."

Qiuxiang was very excited: "Okay, okay, I like doing handicrafts the most."

After hearing this, Chuntao immediately accused: "Qiuxiang, this is Princess Nan'an. What if my hand is accidentally scratched?"

"Don't worry, I won't punish you even if you get hurt." Su Qingcheng said, not wanting to embarrass the two little girls.

"No, no, no, that's not what I mean," Chuntao said with a blushing face, "It's just that the princess's hands are carefully taken care of, and it won't be good if they are injured."

Su Qingcheng chuckled and said: "No, it's not a delicate matter like using knives and scissors. The higher-ups told me not to leave the palace. It would be too boring if I didn't find something to do."

"Okay then, slave girl, go get the tools." Chuntao hesitated for a moment and said.

After a while, Chuntao and Qiuxiang came with a lot of saws, and Su Qingcheng also changed into convenient clothes.

It only took two hours for the three of them to help each other repair the abandoned swing.

"Not bad, not bad. It's both beautiful and fun." Su Qingcheng was enjoying herself on it.

After being in Dongling for so long, except when she felt a sense of belonging when she was around Ye Tantai and Su Yizhi, she always felt like she didn't belong here the rest of the time.

Even the eldest princess, who had stayed for a long time, could not give her the feeling of home.
