Yao sent Baoqin to inquire about the situation outside, and only then did she feel relieved. No matter what, she had finally covered up the fact that she had caused the old lady to be imprisoned this time.
However, in the end, Su Chenyu got a bargain, and she gained fame.
Baoqin looked at Yao's face and asked cautiously, "Second Madam, the young lady will be moving into the Crown Prince's residence in a few days. Should we prepare something for her?"
When this matter was mentioned, Yao became angry: "The prince didn't send anything over. How can she survive in the prince's mansion in the future if she enters the house like this?"
It is precisely because Yao loves her daughter Bai Qi that she considers more.
The Crown Prince's Consort, no matter how nice it sounds, is just a concubine. Even if the Crown Prince's status is high, she doesn't want her daughter to be a concubine to someone else. She is just the daughter of a merchant, and the Crown Princess is the Duke of Beirong. In terms of status, Bai Qi is a head lower than her.
"Take the Ice Silk Fan with you. I want to go to Beiyuan."
Baoqin had no idea what Yao was thinking and could only do as she was told.
In Beiyuan, Bai Yanqing was peeling lychees for Su Chenyu: "Is it sweet?"
Su Chenyu stuffed a lychee into Bai Yanqing's mouth and said, "Don't just peel it for me, eat it yourself too."
Since the beginning of summer, Su Chenyu has particularly liked eating chilled fruits. Lychees are a fresh product, and as soon as she arrived in Beijing, Bai Yanqing found ways to get them for her.
Bai Yanqing didn't really like eating these sweet things, but when he saw Su Chenyu eating happily, a smile appeared on his face.
When Yao came in, she saw Baiyu Yanqing wiping Su Chenyu's hands with a wet towel. Her eyes fell on the lychee shells on the table: "Prince and Princess Consort are eating lychees. These are new tributes from the capital, sent directly to the palace. No one outside the palace can eat them."
Bai Yanqing carefully wiped the sweet stuff off Su Chenyu's hand, put the handkerchief in the basin and asked, "Why is the Second Madam here?"
Yao asked Baoqin to put the box containing the ice silk fan on the table: "I thought that my husband was afraid of the heat, so I got an ice silk fan a few days ago. The wind from this fan is very cool."
As Yao spoke, she opened the box, took out the ice silk fan inside, and handed it to Su Chenyu.
Su Chenyu took the fan and fanned it a few times. There was indeed a cool breeze blowing on her face. She put the fan down calmly and said, "Why didn't the Second Madam give this kind of thing to the Old Madam?"
"The old lady is afraid of cold, but not heat. It would be more appropriate to give this ice silk fan to Gongyu."
Su Chenyu didn't believe that Yao would be so mean: "I remember that the prince's wedding is just a matter of a few days. Let's leave this ice silk fan to Bai Qiqi. It will look more decent as a dowry."
Yao smiled and said, "Why would Qi'er need such a fancy thing? But what Gongfu said is true. Qi'er's wedding is coming soon, and she needs to make preparations. But the person who will escort her to the wedding has not been thought of yet, and there are not many people of Qi'er's age in this mansion, so I dare to ask Gongfu and the prince consort to escort Qi'er to the wedding."
In Dayu's wedding customs, there is a tradition of sending the bride to her husband's house. The higher the status of the people accompanying the bride, the higher the status of the bride's husband's family.
Yao's little thoughts were obvious. She wanted to bring honor to Bai Liqi, so she asked Su Chenyu and Bai Li Yanqing for help.
