Chapter 361 Are you familiar with the Queen?
Golden Leopard held up two fingers.
"One, the queen has placed spies around her; two, she has placed spies around the queen."
Lu Hu laughed angrily: "You said too much about her. You even planted spies around the queen."
"Then how do you explain why you came here so coincidentally?"
Lu Hu pondered: "Could there be any connection between her and the Queen?"
Jin Baobao was puzzled: "What's the difference between this and what I said about planting spies?"
Lu Hu was about to speak, but Yu Shengsheng waved his hand and frowned in thought.
Su Zhiyi would not place spies around the queen. However, if the queen wanted to place spies in the Su Mansion, it would be possible. If she did, they should be used to monitor her.
Just monitoring her would be an overreaction.
Yu Shengsheng didn't know why, but she could always feel the queen's hatred towards her.
No, not just hatred, but disgust.
But why? Since she returned to Beijing and joined the Su family, she has never attended a palace banquet, nor has she met the queen, let alone had any conflict with her.
It was during that hunting trip that they met for the first time.
Where does hatred come from?
Yu Shengsheng was really confused.
The purpose of issuing an edict today is to help Su Zhiyi gain pride, but also to suppress her at the same time, making her lose face and let her see clearly that she cannot be compared with Su Zhiyi.
Yu Shengsheng was puzzled when Madam Su came with her maids and servants.
She was also carrying several trays containing new dresses.
It is a light yellow pleated skirt with flowers embroidered in the pleats. When you wear it and walk, they will appear, making it simple and elegant yet noble.
The embroidered shoes are of the same color, and each shoe tip is decorated with a pearl. The pearlescent light is warm and faintly visible under the hem of the skirt, which is low-key and luxurious.
"Shengsheng, try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll make some changes."
The maid at the side whispered, "My princess, you don't know, this is made by my wife herself after working up several nights."
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and looked at it. It was indeed a good thing. If it were before, she would be so happy that she would happily pull Madam Su and not know what to say.
But at this time...
Yu Shengsheng said, "Madam, the clothes are too expensive. I can't accept them."
Madam Su said quickly, "It's not expensive, not expensive at all. Tomorrow you will be given the incense by the emperor, so you have to dress nicely and decently."
"It's a pity that time is too tight. If I had more time, I could make it look better."
Her eyes were full of expectation and guilt, and she was very afraid that Yu Shengsheng would refuse.
Yu Shengsheng thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly.
Jin Baobao stepped forward to take it, and Madam Su was delighted: "Then you try it."
"No need to try, I think it should be suitable."
Yu Shengsheng gestured for Green Lake to serve tea: "Madam, please sit down."
Mrs. Su was startled, then she sat down happily but carefully, suppressing her emotions and not showing any excessive excitement.
She took a sip of tea but couldn't taste it. "It's delicious. If you like tea, I'll have someone bring some over."
"By the way, the tea house I mentioned last time has been changed to your name, and the deed will be given to you soon."
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes and watched the tea leaves in the cup rise and fall: "Madam, are you familiar with the Queen?"
Madam Su sighed softly, "I'm not that familiar with her. I used to say that she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but that was when your grandfather... the Duke was still alive. The Queen also came from a prominent family, and she was carefully trained since she was young, preparing to enter the royal family."
Madam Su lowered her voice and said, "If the late queen had not passed away early, the queen would have married a prince at that time and become a princess. Now that the late queen is gone, she has the opportunity."
Yu Shengsheng sipped her tea slowly, but doubts arose in her heart.
Since they were not familiar with each other, and judging from Madam Su's expression, it didn't seem like she had ever offended the Queen. So where did the Queen's hatred for her come from?
"Why do you think of asking this?" Mrs. Su asked tentatively.
Yu Shengsheng collected her thoughts and said, "Nothing. I just feel that the Queen doesn't like me very much. I don't know how I have offended her."
"She is nice to Su Zhiyi."
Madam Su was also a little puzzled: "Speaking of this, I am also surprised. Zhiyi has not met the Queen very often, but the Queen does like her more. Maybe it is because she looks like the Ninth Princess."
The Ninth Princess, Yu Shengsheng remembered that she had been mentioned during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The Ninth Princess was the Queen's biological daughter, the Crown Prince's younger sister, and was married to the Kingdom of Wu.
Do Su Zhiyi look like the Ninth Princess? Yu Shengsheng doesn't know.
Seeing that she was silent, Madam Su thought she was disappointed and comforted her, "Don't worry about it. You are in the Su family, and we will take care of you. We will never let you suffer any grievances again."
Yu Shengsheng asked what he wanted to ask and lost interest in talking about other things.
Madam Su stood up and said, "Well, take a good rest, try on your clothes, and come to me if anything seems wrong."
She left. Although Yu Shengsheng's attitude was still cold, he accepted her clothes and even invited her to have a cup of tea, which was a huge progress.
He ordered people to pack up some things and go to Zhenqiao Tower to see his two sons.
Su Zhiyi returned to the courtyard. She should have been happy that she had the queen's support and achieved her goal, but Madam Su's questioning and attitude just now made her very unhappy.
It was she who delivered the message to the Queen herself. During the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, before leaving the palace, she had met the housekeeper beside the Queen.
However, she never told this to anyone else.
She guessed that the Queen must have chosen her and made her the Crown Princess, so she treated her differently.
In this case, we should ask the Queen for help during this incense burning event.
In the letter, she talked about the benefits of burning incense and expressed her determination to be loyal to the queen. Of course, she did not mention her ambition to become the crown princess.
As a result, she won the bet, and the Queen's decree came today.
It seems that her guess was correct, the queen likes her.
Then she would be a little more confident.
He pushed the wheelchair to the water tank and took out a lively little fish from it. He slowly tightened his fingers until the fish stopped moving.
She threw it casually into a bush where all the flowers had fallen.
He sneered silently and was about to go back to the house when he suddenly heard people whispering outside the courtyard wall.
"That's soft smoke silk. That color is extremely rare."
"The material is good, and the lady's needlework is also good."
"It's been a long time since Madam made a dress by herself. This time, she gave her whole heart to Miss Sheng."
"It seems that the weather in the mansion is about to change."
"Miss Sheng is beautiful, kind, and has been given the title of Princess. Today, the Emperor also issued an oral order to let her go to burn incense. She will definitely have a bright future."
Su Zhiyi felt like a needle piercing her heart when she heard these words.
Sewing a dress by hand? When did it happen?
How come she doesn't know anything about this?
It was made of soft smoke silk material, even better than the one the Queen gave her!
Su Zhiyi was furious and didn't want to endure it for a moment.
"Someone come!"
She let out a low shout and was about to ask someone to bring in the maid who was muttering outside the courtyard wall when a light laugh was heard from the gate.
