Su Qingyu left the hall and only saw the man's back. She didn't dare to follow him rashly because too many people were staring at her.
She whispered to Feicui beside her, "Watch from a distance and see if it's the person who was at the restaurant door today."
"If so, find out her identity and see who she has been in contact with. Don't be afraid to spend money. Spend more money in the palace to get the news."
Jade nodded and left calmly.
Su Qingyu strolled around the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. There was a plum forest next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The flowers were in full bloom at that time, attracting many people to stop and admire them.
At this moment, in a secluded room in the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, He was about to kowtow to Su Xiangling, but was stopped by Su Xiangling.
"Mother, there's no need to be so polite. There are no outsiders here."
He looked her daughter up and down, a smile in her eyes that she couldn't hide. "Etiquette cannot be abolished. You are now a concubine."
Su Xiangling pulled He to sit down and told the people around her to guard outside, leaving the mother and daughter to talk to each other.
This was also a favor given by the virtuous concubine. She specially sent a message to the Su family, giving the mother and daughter a chance to say a few private words.
He also knew that time was tight, so she asked a series of questions after sitting down.
"Is your Majesty doing well in the palace? Is the Crown Prince treating you well? How is the baby in your belly?"
"The last time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slapped you, I was terrified. I was afraid something might have happened to the child."
"Do you have enough money? Don't be stingy when rewarding your subordinates. If you are stingy, no one will do anything for you."
Su Xiangling took He's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I'm considered a very favored person in the Eastern Palace. Even now that I'm pregnant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often visits me."
Speaking of this, Su Xiangling unconsciously lowered her head slightly, her face flushed a little.
He was an experienced person and knew what was going on at a glance.
He immediately said sternly, "Your Majesty is confused. How can you still... serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at this time?"
"The child is your last resort. Nothing lasts forever, and you can't guarantee your lifetime favor. But with a child, it's different. This is the emperor's eldest grandson."
"You must stop messing around with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The child must be the most important thing."
Su Xiangling had no words to express her grievances, and she lived in fear all day long. But when the prince made a request, there was no way she could refuse.
If you kick someone out today, you don’t know how much effort it will take to invite them back tomorrow.
She could only whisper to comfort He, "Don't worry, mother. I know what's going on and I won't hurt the child."
When it comes to sex, He Shi didn't want to ask in such detail.
I had to repeatedly remind Su Xiangling that the child came first.
Then he turned to business, "The most important thing in our family right now is your brother's inheritance of the title."
"Your Majesty, could you please talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to help your brother? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to speak, this matter will be a sure thing."
Having said that, the corners of He's narrow eyes turned up, and her expression was a little sharp.
"It's all because of that Concubine Zeng. If she hadn't gotten pregnant with this child, Yuan Qing would have gotten the title."
Although the old lady favors the second wife, she is very serious about the title and is hoping that the first wife will give birth to a son.
He made several indirect attempts to inquire about whether Su Yuanqing could inherit the title. The old lady remained silent, and implicitly threatened He not to harm the eldest wife's children. Fearing the old lady's wrath, He allowed Concubine Zeng to continue the pregnancy, hoping she would give birth to a daughter.
Su Xiangling listened to her mother's mumbling and pondered the matter in her mind.
The Su family had no real power in the court, her father was demoted, and her maternal grandfather's family was also disgraced.
Among all the concubines and ladies-in-law in the Eastern Palace, she has the least foundation.
Although the Su family's title is not very useful, after his younger brother inherits the title, at least it will sound good when others say it.
From now on, she will be the biological sister of Marquis Pingning, and can be considered a support.
When her younger brother grows up and becomes sensible, she will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to arrange a position for him in the court. If her younger brother can have a good future, her life in the palace will be much easier.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiangling had an idea in mind.
"I will find a chance to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but because of the last disaster relief incident, His Royal Highness has a very bad impression of my brother."
"Mother, please come up with something to improve my brother's reputation. That way, I can speak more convincingly to the Crown Prince."
He felt that what Su Xiangling said made sense, but she could not figure out how to restore Su Yuanqing's reputation.
The palace banquet was still going on. As soon as Concubine Xian returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a maid came to report to Su Xiangling.
"Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine has already gone back."
Su Xiangling stood up and said, "I won't say any more to Mother. I still have to go and serve the Concubine Xian."
He felt a little distressed, "You are still pregnant, why don't you let others take care of you?"
Su Xiangling took He's arm and said, "My dear mother, don't you understand this? Do you think anyone can serve the virtuous concubine?"
"Because I said I was fulfilling my filial duty by bringing my children with me, I got this opportunity."
It is said that serving others is inferior, but it depends on who you are serving.
In this palace, you have to be able to compete for a position as a servant.
When Su Xiangling and He entered the hall, Su Qingyu had already taken her seat. She held a cup of fruit wine in her hand, her fingertips stroking the cloud pattern on the edge of the cup.
Just now, Feicui came back to report that the palace maid was in charge of purchasing in the palace, and she talked with the palace maid beside Su Xiangling for a long time.
Su Qingyu's mind suddenly became clear, and she quickly grasped the key point.
