Not long after Su Juan returned to Prince Jing's Mansion, the Queen's reward arrived.

Dong Dong exclaimed, "Master, the Queen is so generous!"

Silks, satins, and jewels. No one in the capital has ever received such rewards from the Queen Mother!

Su Juan looked at the things in front of her, and they were indeed all top-quality products. "Dongdong, give two of these pieces of silk to the princess, and keep the rest."

"Ah?" Dong Dong was puzzled. "Master, you put away all these good things. Why don't you keep one or two for daily use?"

Although Prince Jing's Mansion had no shortage of these silk jewellery, because the Crown Prince was dissatisfied with the Crown Princess, the people in the Mansion were also taking advantage of the situation and all the things sent to the Crown Princess were withheld.

Su Juan fiddled with the jade pendant she had taken out of her bosom, "If I don't put it away, and the prince sees it, won't I lose everything?"

Put it away, at least if you really want to live a carefree life in the future, you will have something to rely on.

Dong Dong pouted, "How can the prince treat the master like this!"

No one would believe that the prince was unaware of the housekeeper's miserliness.

The master has a good temper and doesn't care about these things in the mansion. But the prince is really too much. Two days ago, the princess sent a box of newly made jewelry, all of which are the styles that are popular in the capital.

When the prince saw it, he actually took the whole box away. No one knows which little devil has it fallen into its hands now. The master didn't want to cause trouble at home, so he didn't let them tell the princess.

Su Juan stroked the pattern on the jade token with her fingertips, and suddenly thought of something. She stood up immediately and said, "Dongdong, I'm a little tired. I want to rest for a while. Don't let anyone come in and disturb me."

"Master, rest assured. I will be here to guard you."

After Su Juan entered the house, Dongdong took people to collect all the rewards in the house into the warehouse.

In the room, Su Juan took out the jade pendant that Lin Xizhi had returned from her dressing box.

This jade pendant was the only thing left by her mother, and Su Juan had always carried it with her. At first, she was a little curious as to how could there be only half a piece of the jade pendant? Could it be a token of love?

But the other half is not in Mr. Su's hands.

It's just half a jade pendant, and you can't even see the specific pattern. It just means that the jade is precious and worth some money.

Su Juan put the half jade pendant and the jade token given by the queen together, and compared them carefully. Suddenly, she found that the pattern on the jade pendant matched that on the jade token! ?

She was immediately startled and clenched the object in her hand. This was not a pattern commonly used by the royal family in the palace. Perhaps it was unique to the queen.

But my mother is just an ordinary citizen. What connection could she have with the queen in the deep palace?

A question grew bigger and bigger in Su Juan's mind, and she suddenly remembered that she had never heard of her mother's family since she was a child.

Maybe I should find time to visit the Su family.

At this time, Song Qianfan's voice was heard from outside. He was probably blocked outside by Dongdong because his temper as a prince was simply unbearable.

Su Juan put away the two pieces of jade, stood up and walked out, only to see Dong Dong being pressed to her knees by the guards beside Song Qianfan. Song Qianfan shouted, "What a bold maid, Li Ming! Take out her tongue for this prince!"

Dong Dong's face turned pale, and she begged for mercy desperately: "My Lord, I know I was wrong! Please don't pull out my tongue! I won't dare to do it again!"

Liming, the guard standing by, clamped Dongdong's cheeks with his hands. Dongdong was frightened and cried. His wet eyes fell into Liming's eyes, but there was no sympathy in them.

Su Juan, who had just walked out, heard this and frowned at the scene in front of her. "My Lord, I wonder what Dong Dong has done wrong that you want to punish her like this?"

Song Qianfan looked displeased, "A maid dared to block the master's door. Does the Crown Prince's Concubine think that the Crown Prince should not punish her?"

A little maid actually dared to stop me. It was true that the people around Su Juan were all so unruly.

Su Juan was silent. "The prince wants to punish Dong Dong, and I cannot stop him. But His Majesty loves the people like his own children, and he does not like the trend of private punishment and bullying in the mansion. If the news gets out, and someone with ulterior motives tells His Majesty about it..."

"It's no big deal to punish a maid, but I'm afraid that rumors will affect your reputation in the future."

Song Qianfan narrowed his eyes, "How dare you threaten this prince?"

Su Juan said timidly, "I dare not, but I am worried about the prince."

[The old emperor hates people who abuse their status to abuse their power and punish slaves at will. If the emperor knows about this, I wonder how you can fight for the position of crown prince.]

Song Qianfan's face was gloomy. What Su Juan said was indeed reasonable. He should indeed be more careful.

Moreover, Su Juan has been entering the palace so frequently recently. If I really pull out the maid's tongue today, she will be unhappy and her ventriloquy will be heard by people in the palace, which will be very disadvantageous to me.

[I just blocked your door, and you pulled out someone's tongue. You are so violent now. No wonder you will be called a tyrant by the officials and people when you ascend the throne...]

[You should just tell all these shits of yours to the world. I don’t think you’re still fighting for anything! ]

[If you ask me, there are so many royal children in the capital, who is not better than Song Qianfan? The emperor can marry such a good queen, but how could he be so blind to choose such a bad godson. ]

tyrant?

Royal family?

Song Qianfan sneered. It seemed that the Crown Prince's wife didn't take her, her good husband, seriously at all.

When I ascend the throne in the future, I will ask Su Juan to open her eyes and watch carefully to see how he, Song Qianfan, governs the Great Jin Dynasty into a prosperous place with a bright future!

[The old emperor must have cured his eye disease later, which is why he wanted to appoint a new crown prince. He should have invited a miracle doctor to take a good look at his eye disease.]

Song Qianfan sneered in his heart. Even if His Majesty really had an eye disease, with him, Song Qianfan, around, he would never be able to cure it in this lifetime.

Su Juan stared at Liming, trying to prevent him from really pulling out Dongdong's tongue.

With Song Qianfan's desire for the position of crown prince, after hearing these words, even if he was annoyed, he did not dare to pull out Dongdong's tongue at this time.

"I will keep this maid's tongue for now, and the princess will discipline her well. If the same thing happens again, even the queen can't save her!"

Song Qianfan looked at her with sarcasm, "Princess, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Even if you please the Queen, you won't get any benefits."

Although the Queen is the master of the harem, the affairs of the harem are all managed by the Imperial Concubine. From this point of view, the benefits of being close to the Queen are not as great as those of Concubine Su, who has been in great favor recently.

However, Su Juan didn't want to listen to Song Qianfan's sarcastic words. She knew very well that in Song Qianfan's eyes, the benefits she could get from the Queen were not as much as those she could get from other concubines who were slightly more favored.

Song Qianfan has always had such a short-sighted mindset.

The Queen is the Queen after all. She was able to rise from a concubine to the position of the master of the harem, which shows her weight in the Emperor's heart. Now she is just not fighting or competing, but if she wants to say something, ten favored Concubines Su might not be enough to stop her.

Su Juan collected her thoughts and asked, "I wonder if the prince came here today for some important matter?"

"Yes, there are some things." As he said that, Song Qianfan flicked his sleeves, strode into Su Juan's room, sat down, and looked at Su Juan coldly.

"I heard that you met cousin Jingwen in the palace today?"
