A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 438 Song Hongshen Returns to Beijing
Su Qingyu didn't listen to Shen Yue in the end and sent people to quell the rumors. Within a few days, the matter faded away.
But the old lady was worried, as it would eventually affect Shen Yue's future engagement.
Shen Yue, however, had made up her mind not to marry in this life and to remain faithful to Li Yunzhou. Therefore, these rumors did not harm her and could also stop many people from coming to propose marriage.
In the following half month, the capital city and the Shen family gradually returned to peace.
Shen Yue never left the house. All day long she either made clothes for Li Yunzhou or followed the old lady to eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha.
Su Qingyu always wanted to take her out for a walk. How could a girl in her teens eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures at home?
However, Shen Yue felt that every day was extremely peaceful and she felt at ease living in Qingyuanju.
In the blink of an eye, it was early March, and Song Hongshen escorted the king and queen of Liao back to Beijing.
On the day of the prisoner presentation ceremony, Su Qingyu got up early in the morning to prepare the clothes and jewelry to wear for the celebration banquet.
Her brother's life or death was uncertain, so she didn't want to go to such a party.
While choosing jewelry, she asked Shen Zhixiu, "Isn't today's celebration banquet a reward for the generals who returned from Liaodong? Why do you want the women to go?"
Shen Zhizheng was changing his clothes. He did not have to attend court today, but he had to accompany the emperor to the city gate to preside over the ceremony of presenting prisoners.
After listening to Su Qingyu's complaints, Shen Zhixiu said, "It was the Empress Xianfei who proposed it, saying that Song Hongshen had made great contributions. If the women of the Song family can enter the palace together to attend the celebration banquet, it is also the favor of the emperor."
"The emperor has just issued an order. If you don't want to go, don't force yourself. I'll just find an excuse and get away with it."
Su Qingyu thought of the thoughts of Concubine Xian and the Crown Prince, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
"Your Highness, have you not given up yet? Do you want the Crown Prince to marry Song Wanwan?"
He added: "I'd better go. There's no harm in going to such an occasion."
A lot of news was spread among the ladies of each mansion. A qualified lady of the inner house could manage the household affairs and gather information and plan the future for her husband.
Shen Zhixiu reached out and pulled the brocade belt off the hanger and tied it around his waist.
"Song Hongshen was made a king, and the Song family became more powerful. It's normal for Consort Xian to be concerned about him. But given the Song family's intelligence, they won't marry the prince."
Su Qingyu recalled the last time the prince plotted against Song Wanwan, and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it."
"But isn't Concubine Xian afraid that if she really marries into the Song family, it will make the Emperor wary?"
Shen Zhixiu had put on his clothes at this time, but he still stood beside Su Qingyu and started chatting.
"The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne. The Concubine Xian wants to find a marriage for the Crown Prince that will help him. The Emperor can't say anything."
"We can't be afraid of the Crown Prince's power and choose a Crown Princess from a small family for him. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle important tasks in the future."
"So the emperor hasn't chosen a wife for him yet. This is the reason."
"Your Majesty... is still struggling over whether to change the crown prince."
"As for Concubine Xian, she has been with the emperor for many years, how could she not see what the emperor is thinking?"
Su Qingyu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and finally understood what Shen Zhixiu meant.
While the Emperor was struggling, Concubine Xian was also working hard to pave the way for the Crown Prince.
The road has been paved, so even if the emperor wants to change the crown prince, they have other options.
Although the crown prince does not have great talent, there is no other suitable candidate among the other princes.
If the Song family is really willing to form an alliance and support the prince, perhaps the emperor would give up the idea of changing the crown prince.
But it’s hard to say whether he will become suspicious in the future.
Shen Zhixiu added: "If the prince wants to marry into another military family, the emperor might be wary. But if it's the Song family, the emperor won't be suspicious, at least not now."
Su Qingyu chose the clothes and jewelry and sent Shen Zhixiu out.
She went to Qingyuanju to pay her respects, and then entered the palace in the afternoon to attend the celebration banquet.
She, Li Chaoyun and the second wife Yang all moved into Qingyuanju at the same time.
After they arrived, they found out that the old lady was ill.
I started to have a fever at night, so I went to see a doctor that night. I took some medicine and went to sleep.
They didn't want to disturb the old lady's rest, so they didn't go in and sat in the side hall outside.
The specific details were all told by Aunt Hua.
Yang looked at Madam Hua complainingly, "Madam, why didn't you send someone to tell us so that we could come and serve you."
Su Qingyu also nodded in agreement, "Yes, my mother is sick, and my daughter-in-law should come and take care of her."
Aunt Hua explained: "The old lady didn't allow us to tell anyone. I thought it was just a common fever, so I didn't send anyone to report it."
"The doctor also said it's nothing serious and I just need to take good care of myself for a few days."
Li Chaoyun suddenly said, "Could it be that Miss Three is unlucky and brought bad luck to Grandmother?"
"Otherwise, why did my grandmother get sick after she lived in Qingyuan for a while?"
Just at this moment Shen Yue walked to the door and stopped when she heard Li Chaoyun's words.
Although she didn't believe it, but... the matter involved her grandmother, so she couldn't help but think about it.
Is there really such a thing as a tough life?
Su Qingyu became furious after hearing what Li Chaoyun said. Seeing Shen Yue standing at the door in a daze, she went forward and dragged her in.
He glanced at Li Chaoyun and asked, "May I ask, Princess, the eldest young master of the Li family and his family of five died in the border town. Who killed them?"
Li Chaoyun was stunned. Her brother's family was the biggest pain in her heart.
"What are you talking about, Auntie? My eldest brother died on the battlefield. He sacrificed his life for his country."
This sentence made Su Qingyu laugh, "Didn't Xuanwu Hou die in battle? Didn't Li Yunzhou die in battle?"
"I'm going to the palace this afternoon. I want to ask those generals who killed so many people in their families."
"I would also like to propose to the Emperor that we ask a master to calculate whether there is someone in the royal family who is unworthy of his position, which is why so many soldiers have died."
"Everyone can say empty words. As for spreading rumors, the princess can do it, and so can I."
Su Qingyu had previously suspected that it was Li Chaoyun who spread the rumors in revenge against Shen Yue.
But because there was no evidence, the matter was shelved. It's not good to accuse her without any evidence.
Today, Li Chaoyun said this to Shen Yue on the spot, but Su Qingyu refused to endure it any longer.
These words made Li Chaoyun's face turn pale. If he said these words at the celebration banquet, it would be like stirring up a hornet's nest among the generals.
Who doesn’t die in a war? The Xuanwu Marquis’s mansion is about to be wiped out.
Li Chaoyun was a flexible person. After realizing that he had angered Su Qingyu, he immediately said with a wry smile.
"Aunt San, I didn't mean it. I won't say it again."
Su Qingyu certainly didn't want to start a war, but she wouldn't let it go easily.
"The princess scared the third young lady."
Li Chaoyun knew what Su Qingyu meant. She was indeed impulsive today. Coincidentally, she was going to the palace in the afternoon. Based on her understanding of Su Qingyu, if she did not apologize to Shen Yue, Su Qingyu would really dare to bring this matter to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
She had no choice but to walk up to Shen Yue and said, "Third sister, I didn't mean what I said. I hope you won't be angry, right?"
Shen Yue raised her eyelids slightly and said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you are too serious. I think you just heard the rumors outside, right?"
"The most hateful thing is the person who spread the rumor. He is not afraid of being punished for spreading the rumor and his parents and brothers dying again."
