The palace is very large, but Su Qingwan did not have the opportunity to enter the palace in her previous life, so she doesn’t know much about it.

But on the way into the palace, the old princess explained to her the affairs of the palace.

Their carriage stopped outside the palace gate. Su Qingwan helped the old princess get off the carriage and then got on the inner court's carriage.

This was granted by Emperor Wenjin, who sympathized with the fact that Princess Wang was old and could not walk such a long distance.

Su Qingwan thought that it wouldn't be long before she would be able to see Concubine Shu, but it took her more than half an hour to leave.

After getting off the inner court carriage, they saw several palace maids standing beside the carriage. They followed the older palace maid in the lead and saluted towards the old Princess Wang.

"Meet the princess!"

"Aunt Li, please stand up," said the princess.

Su Qingwan looked at the older palace maid. She was the Aunt Li that her aunt had mentioned. She was indeed someone who enjoyed the favor of Concubine Shu, and her clothes were better than those of the other palace maids.

Aunt Li bowed to Su Qingwan again and said, "Greetings, Fourth Miss Su."

"Aunt Li is polite." Su Qingwan nodded slightly but did not move.

Aunt Li just blinked and said nothing, then led them towards Concubine Shu's Yunyi Palace.

Su Qingwan had come all the way here in a carriage and had no chance to appreciate the scenery of the imperial palace. But now that she was walking, she could look around casually.

It is worthy of being an imperial palace, with carved beams and painted buildings, and diverse scenery. It is much more beautiful than the mansions of marquis or princes.

After a while, the four of them were led into Yunyi Palace.

Jiang was quite nervous. As a merchant girl, she never dared to think that one day she would be able to walk into the palace and sit in the harem to drink tea.

Su Qingwan took out a piece of mint candy made of coral and said, "Mother, eat one first. Don't be nervous."

"Put it away quickly. I'm not nervous." Jiang was afraid that the rules would be broken, so she quickly asked Su Qingwan to put away the mint candy.

Su Qingwan had no choice but to listen to her.

She had just put away her things when she heard the sound of the crystal curtain being lifted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a graceful woman in palace dress walking out from behind the crystal curtain lifted by a palace maid. She had towering hair and picturesque eyebrows and eyes. She was worthy of being the mother of Prince Rui, and she was indeed born with a stunning appearance.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Concubine Shu!" The princess led everyone in paying respect.

Concubine Shu quickly stepped forward, helped old Princess Wang up, exchanged a few words of greeting with her, and then asked everyone to take a seat.

After everyone was seated, Concubine Shu looked at Su Qingwan and Jiang.

She looked at Su Qingwan carefully and exclaimed: "This must be the fourth daughter of the Su family. She is really born with natural beauty and looks very beautiful."

Su Qingwan was not shy and said bluntly: "Your Majesty has good taste!"

The palace maids!!!

Why is Miss Su Si like this?

If other noble ladies received praise from their queen, they would definitely shyly say "Your Majesty, you are too kind". Who would admit it as directly as she did!

She also praised the Empress for her good taste. At this moment, they didn't even need to look at the Empress Shufei's expression to know that the Empress must be in a very good mood.

It was indeed very exciting. Concubine Shu looked at Su Qingwan in astonishment, and then looked at Chen.

Mrs. Chen never said that Su Qingwan was like this before!

Chen was a little confused, but the old Princess Wang kept nodding: That's right! Their Qingwan is really beautiful, and the Concubine Shu has good taste.

Jiang felt like she was going to faint. Was there something wrong with her daughter's response? But looking at the princess's expression, it seemed that Qingwan's answer was fine.

"Uh, hehe!" Concubine Shu's awkward laughter broke the slightly weird atmosphere. She said, "Come, sit next to me."

"Okay!" Su Qingwan walked forward, sat down, and pressed down a part of Concubine Shu's skirt.

Such a situation made all the palace maids terrified!

The Queen has given you the grace to sit next to her. Which noble lady would sit as honestly as Su Qingwan? They would all sit there cautiously.

I didn't even dare to hold up the Empress's dress, and I even didn't dare to sit over there without even thanking her for her grace!

But Su Qingwan did just that, and looked at Concubine Shu with a happy face and spoke.

"My Lady Shufei, you are so beautiful, much more beautiful than Prince Rui."

Everyone: "..."

Although this sentence sounds harsh, if you think about it carefully, you can't find any fault with it. It naturally has different meanings to different people.

Jiang: Why don't you take your daughter away from the capital now? It's a good place to stay in Mo'nan.

Chen: How can a mother be prettier than her son? She will have to talk to Qingwan about this later.

Old Princess Wang: Qingwan is indeed a sweet-talker, there is no problem in coaxing her future mother-in-law like this.

Lady Shufei touched her face and felt inexplicably happy. She just thought that although Su Qingwan behaved in a rude manner, she was actually a sweet-talker.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingwan said again: "You are so beautiful, my queen, please give me some more things, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, satin, etc., I am not picky."

Concubine Shu reacted for a moment, and the expression on her face slowly cracked...

No wonder my son doesn’t like Su Qingwan very much. How can anyone like someone who talks about money all the time?

I guess her behavior was influenced by the daughter of a merchant.

Concubine Shu glanced at Jiang, her eyes somewhat cold.

Su Qingwan has a mother who is the daughter of a merchant, but her status is still low after all. Moreover, it is really unfair to him to let a merchant's daughter be the mother-in-law of his son. It is better to let Lord Su find a wife with a higher status!

After Jiang came out from Concubine Shu, she didn't dare to look at her for too long, so she didn't notice the way she looked at her.

But Su Qingwan saw it, and even caught a glimpse of the contempt that flashed across Concubine Shu's face.

She snorted in her heart. It was ridiculous that Concubine Shu looked down on her own mother, but let her son marry her!

But she had to be on guard to prevent Concubine Shu from doing anything to her mother.

"Qingwan, how can you ask for things from your elders? Why don't you apologize to the queen?" Princess Wang reminded her. She just remembered that she forgot to remind Qingwan not to ask for things on her own initiative.

"Oh!" Su Qingwan immediately looked at Concubine Shu obediently after hearing that, showing her standard eight teeth, and smiled: "Don't blame me, Madam. I accidentally said the truth."

The expression of Concubine Shu became more and more stiff!

Is it really possible for such a woman to be the Princess of Rui?

But when she looked at Su Qingwan again, she seemed to see something standing behind her, and hurriedly comforted herself.

It doesn’t matter what Su Qingwan’s personality is. The worst that can happen is that after she marries his son, he will lock her up in the backyard and prevent her from going out and embarrassing herself.

"You are a child of true nature. I like you and will naturally reward you with more things." Concubine Shu smiled softly and slid the jade bracelet on her hand onto Su Qingwan's wrist.

Su Qingwan shook her wrist and smiled happily, "Thank you, Madam!"

"Alright, you're also a child who can't sit still. Aunt Li, take Miss Su to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the scenery. I'll talk to the princess and the two ladies about my son."
