It seems that the imperial concubine came today just to tell her that the queen does not like her and has not cared about her at all for so many years...

And all this is just because she looks like an old friend who has some stories with the queen.

Su Qingcheng had to admit that the Dongling Imperial Concubine was very clever. If she hadn't been careful, she might have been taken in by her words.

But...since she wants to provoke the two of them like this, let her have her way.

"For a long time, I thought it was because I didn't do well enough that I couldn't get my aunt's love. It turns out...that's the case."

The disappointment in her eyes and the loneliness in her words were just right.

The imperial concubine immediately consoled her: "Oh, look at my mouth. Don't take it to heart. It has not been easy for the Queen for so many years."

Act, keep acting, I want to see what your purpose is...

Su Qingcheng thought like this, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes at the right time. She looked so pitiful: "It's okay, I shouldn't have been born, and I made my aunt unhappy."

"By the way, the Queen has been unable to have children since the eldest princess was born due to physical injuries. A prosperous family is a good thing, so how can she be displeased." The Imperial Concubine comforted her and handed her the silk handkerchief in her hand.

Su Qingcheng took it, wiped away her tears gently, and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your advice. I will be careful in my words and actions in front of my aunt in the future."

She returned to her usual appearance, as if she was not the one who cried uncontrollably just now.

Seeing that the time was about right, the imperial concubine said: "Okay, I'm a little tired. I'll see you another day."

Just when Su Qingcheng was thinking about the purpose of the imperial concubine, another uninvited guest quietly came to Lily Pavilion.

"I said why the flowers in Lily Pavilion are so fragrant today. It turns out to be the fragrance of the powder on my sister's body."

With the support of her nanny, the queen walked slowly towards the two of them, but Su Qingcheng's eyes stayed on Chun Tao Qiuxiang who was following her.

Could it be that the two of them summoned the queen?

With doubts, Su Qingcheng stepped back after Fu Fu, not wanting to participate in the battle between the two women.

The seemingly harmonious relationship was actually somewhat true and false. Both of them must have known about the emperor's fake death, and each had their own little thoughts in their hearts.

"Sister is here. I saw that the flowers in the Lily Pavilion are blooming really well. I stopped by to take a look. They are still blooming even in the cold winter. It is really a wonderful sight." The imperial concubine said with a smile.

The queen also smiled, but her smile seemed to be filled with anger, and she said: "My sister's Huaqing Palace is far away from here. It's really strange that my sister said we were going along the way."

Queen Chunde seems gentle, but it is not difficult for Su Qingcheng to see from the incident of the eldest princess that her methods are extremely decisive, and she is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Well, actually, I saw Princess Nan'an's face outside the palace a few days ago. She really looked like the old one..."

"Noble Concubine!" The Queen Mother stopped her sternly, with incomparable majesty, "Your Majesty has a decree, and that person's name is taboo in this harem."

The imperial concubine didn't care. Instead, she looked at the angry queen and secretly said, "I made a mistake."

Su Qingcheng couldn't help but sneered: "Before the Queen came here, you had already made a mistake for a long time."

"I heard that the third child made a big fuss in the Prince's Mansion just now. You'd better drop by the Prince's Mansion and have a look." The Queen smiled with a smile on her face, even a bit sarcastic.

Su Qingcheng turned to look at the imperial concubine, her smile remained frozen on her face, and she twitched slightly, saying: "Thank you very much for your concern, empress. The third son's temperament follows that of the king, and he gets angry easily, especially when I am not here. , If that’s the case, then I’ll go over there.”

She was blessed and left Lily Pavilion. Su Qingcheng watched with great interest. She had only heard before that the women in the harem were nothing more than two talking points, children and the emperor's favor.

In her previous life, she had never stepped out of Fengwu Palace after entering the palace. These things had nothing to do with her. It was interesting to see two concubines fighting so intuitively for the first time.

"Have you seen enough?" The Empress said calmly. Su Qingcheng then noticed that she had sat down and that all the palace maids and eunuchs around her were gone.

Su Qingcheng was very sensible. She did this simply because she wanted to talk frankly to her about something that could not be heard by others.

"If aunt has anything to say, just say it directly," Su Qingcheng said.

The Empress looked away from her face and said expressionlessly: "Two questions. First, how is Hao'er's current situation? The eldest princess did not tell you your identity at the beginning, but I can find out with just a few clicks of my finger. , don’t try to play any tricks.”

Su Qingcheng was shocked. It turned out that she had always known her identity and had hidden it from the eldest princess. This queen was really not simple.

"He is fine, but he has some diseases brought from his mother's womb that cannot be cured in the short term." Su Qingcheng answered truthfully.

The Queen Chunde in front of her is actually very different from the one in front of everyone. Which one is her true face...

"Very good," the Queen couldn't help but start to look at Su Qingcheng again, "As for the second question, I hope you answer it truthfully."

"Yes."

"Are you from Beiyuan?" The Queen's brows frowned. She probably didn't even notice it herself. Her hands held the corners of her clothes tightly.

"No." Although Su Qingcheng had doubts, she was very confident in her words.

As for why the Queen asked her like this, she didn't care at all. As long as she could remember, she was from Nanye, the legitimate daughter of the Su family who grew up in the hands of her father.

"Okay, in that case, just stay with the eldest princess." The queen was obviously relieved, but there were complicated emotions in her eyes.

After asking, she left without saying anything else, leaving Su Qingcheng confused.

To be honest, she didn't know anything about the person behind it before today, but after the scene with three women just now, she thought clearly.

It's just the concubine and the queen. She doesn't know who she prefers. Things will always show up...

After the queen left, Chuntao and Qiuxiang returned to Lily Pavilion. Su Qingcheng's heart sank, and her tone was somewhat serious: "You two pack your things and leave."

Chuntao Qiuxiang looked at each other, and was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said: "I don't know when I did something wrong and made the princess unhappy. Please punish me and don't drive me away!"

"If someone is always watching your every move, can you accept it calmly?" Su Qingcheng asked.

She was cautious from the beginning. These two palace maids were so sensible and considerate.

And today, why did the queen come here suddenly? They must have been the ones to inform the news.

She doesn't have high requirements for her servants. She doesn't need to know everything like Dan Mo, nor does she need to know martial arts or medical skills, just a little bit is enough.

That is loyalty.
