A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

On the birthday of Empress Chen Fei, Su Qingyu got up early and began to dress and put on makeup.

I heard that today's palace banquet was as grand as the emperor's birthday celebration. This shows the status of this Empress Chen in the emperor's heart.

They say that the capital's feng shui changes over time, and this year is a perfect example.

The fallen Marquis of Pingning Mansion, thanks to its found son, once again squeezed into the ranks of upper-class families.

They were not as well off as the Su family's Jingyuan Marquisate, but they relied on their illegitimate daughter to become the new rich in the capital.

It is said that in the past few months, some people have started to get in touch with their poor relatives. Who knows which cloud will bring rain? What if this good thing happens to your family?

There are many ladies and young ladies entering the palace today. The maid who came to the palace to deliver messages said that each mansion is requested to bring fewer maids and servants into the palace.

Su Qingyu planned to take only Feicui with her, as Feicui was steady and good at martial arts, making her more suitable than anyone else.

Zhenzhu was standing behind Su Qingyu at this time, helping her comb her hair and put on hairpins and rings.

Su Qingyu looked at her gorgeous makeup in the mirror and asked Feicui behind her through the bronze mirror, "Have you packed the gifts for Empress Chen?"

Feicui took the box from the maid, opened it in front of Su Qingyu, and asked her to take a look.

In the box is a double-sided fan embroidered with Sichuan embroidery. One side depicts mandarin ducks playing in the water, and the other side depicts a beautiful scene.

The best embroiderer in Shu can only embroider three or five fans a year. Even the threads used to embroider this fan are made of gold and jade threads. Jade threads are especially rare.

Su Qingyu took a look at it and then closed the jade. This thing was worthy of the status of Empress Chen and was valuable enough.

To be on the safe side, the master and servant also prepared a string of top-quality red coral bracelets, fearing that someone would interfere and take advantage of the birthday gift.

Today's court meeting was the same as usual, so Shen Zhixiu went directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony after the court session, and Su Qingyu had to enter the palace alone.

On the way, Su Qingyu told Feicui, "You can't be distracted for a moment in the palace today."

Feicui knew the seriousness of the situation, and nodded solemnly, "Madam, rest assured, I will protect you and the young master today."

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Feicui helped Su Qingyu get off the carriage. They were about to change to a sedan chair to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to attend the palace banquet.

But before she could get on the sedan chair, an aunt came forward and bowed to Su Qingyu.

"Hello, Madam Shen San. I am Aunt Wan, the head of the Empress Chen's staff. The Empress Chen wants to invite Madam Shen San to Guanju Palace to sit down and talk."

This Aunt Wan was in her forties, and judging by her clothes and the jewelry she wore, one could tell that she was well-received by the nobles.

Since Empress Chen Fei sent someone to invite her, Su Qingyu couldn't refuse.

He got on the sedan chair and went to Guanju Palace with Aunt Wan.

After getting off the sedan chair, Aunt Wan took her to the side hall. Before entering the door, she stopped Feicui again and said, "Miss, please follow me to the tea room to have a cup of tea. The Empress Chen wants to talk to Madam Shen San alone."

Jade didn't move, but looked at Su Qingyu with embarrassment.

Su Qingyu nodded and motioned for Feicui to go first. Empress Chen meant that they had no right to refute or comment.

Feicui followed the little palace maid to the tea room not far away, and Nanny Wan personally lifted the curtain and invited Su Qingyu in.

After Su Qingyu entered the side hall, she walked to the middle, knelt down and paid her respects to Empress Chen.

"Mrs. Shen San, there is no need to be so polite. Aunt Wan, why don't you help him up quickly?"

After Jiang Ziyan finished speaking, Su Qingyu finished her ceremony. Without the help of Aunt Wan, Su Qingyu stood up.

"Madam Shen, please sit down. I invited you here today because I want to talk to you."

Su Qingyu didn't hesitate and sat down on the chair below.

When I looked up, I could see the appearance of the Empress Chen. She had dark eyebrows, almond eyes, and skin as white as jade. Her appearance was excellent, but in this capital, she was not very stunning.

Of course, Concubine Chen did not rely on her beauty to rise to power. As long as the emperor thinks she is good, that's enough.

Su Qingyu sat upright and bowed slightly when she heard the words, "Your Majesty, I am flattered by your kindness."

This Concubine Chen almost ruined Su Yuanzhou's wedding ceremony. Su Qingyu disliked her and was on guard against her.

Jiang Ziyan seemed not to notice Su Qingyu's alienation, and said with a smile: "That day when I went to Prince Ning's Mansion, the fourth lady of the Su family took good care of me."

"I even sent a letter to Prince Ning's Mansion, but Miss Four said she wanted to stay at home to take care of the old Princess Ning. What a pity."

Su Qingyu said, "It's just that the girl is unlucky. Her biological mother is ill."

I think when Ah Ci received the invitation, she secretly cursed the Empress Chen for half a day. She said she was afraid that if she entered the palace, she would be rude to the Empress Chen, so she decided not to come.

But Su Qingyu couldn't say this and could only answer Jiang Ziyan with polite words.

Jiang Ziyan sighed when she heard this, "I know that Madam Shen San may have misunderstood me."

"In fact, I didn't intend to do anything when His Royal Highness Prince Ning got married that day. I just wanted to show off in front of the emperor. Later, I caused the Marquis of Loyalty to misunderstand me and I had a conflict with the emperor. It was my fault."

Even though Jiang Ziyan spoke very sincerely, Su Qingyu still bowed and said, "I dare not, Madam Chenfei is too kind."

Jiang Ziyan added: "Please ask Madam Shen San to go back and explain to Elder Shen and His Royal Highness Prince Ning that I have no ill will towards the Shen family and Prince Ning's Mansion."

"Mrs. Shen San also knows my origins. I only seek the emperor's favor and wealth."

Su Qingyu was a little impressed by Jiang Ziyan. While she was plotting against the Shen family, she also did not forget to leave a way out for herself.

She didn't believe that Jiang Ziyan had no hand in today's incident. If she was right, they took the jade away not just to drink tea.

"I have remembered your Majesty's instructions," Su Qingyu replied.

After a while, a little palace maid came in and reported that Empress Chenfei's mother and sister had arrived.

Su Qingyu took the opportunity to stand up and leave the side hall.

When she left the side hall, Feicui also came out of the tea room with a dazed look in her eyes.

Aunt Wan prepared a sedan chair in advance to take Su Qingyu to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Su Qingyu thanked Aunt Wan and said, "It's not far. We can still make it on foot. It is said that the palace has the best scenery in autumn. I will take a look with the blessing of the Concubine Chen."

Aunt Wan didn't say much after hearing this and walked Su Qingyu to the door.

The master and servant admired the flowers and grass and walked slowly towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Only after they left the Guanju Palace did Su Qingyu whisper to Feicui, "Did you get tricked?"

As soon as she took one look at Emerald's unclear eyes, she guessed that she might have been drugged.

Feicui nodded and said, "I followed Madam's orders and did not resist. But I was unconscious for a while and didn't know what they did."

Because of the information Su Yuanzhou had heard from the Li family before, although the few people didn't know what the Li family was going to do specifically, they had some guesses in their minds.

Su Qingyu then told Feicui that as long as her life was not in danger, she should go along with the other party and not reveal any clues.

"Let's find a place first and see what they have done to you." Su Qingyu looked around and said softly.
