Chapter 12 Don't Detain Her
"Using each other?"
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that."
Su Ci raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression indifferent: "I used her to clear the obstacles created by Zhao Yusuyin for me, so that I could enter the palace smoothly. She used my status and power as a concubine to be able to hold her head high in her husband's family.
Daddy used my beauty to help the Su family, getting promoted and making money, and I used my status as a daughter of the Su family to enter the palace and become rich and powerful. Aren't we just supporting and using each other?"
“…”
Aunt Lan looked at her somewhat unfamiliar daughter in surprise, and subconsciously reached out to touch her face.
"Ci'er, what about you saying that you've been loved by your father since you were a child and you don't hope for the Su family to fall? Is that also false?"
"Of course this is true, and Daddy's approach is also correct. Officials want to be at the top of the ladder, and concubines in the deep palace want the emperor's favor. Isn't this what should be expected?"
Su Ci raised her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother. Even if I'm eighty years old, I'm still your and father's sweet little girl. If I don't love you, who will you love?"
"Besides, the only ones who are harsh on us in the Su Mansion are the mother and daughter. Big Brother and Second Brother, I have always been very good to you. Why would I want the Su Family to fall?"
But...
The heroine is a kind and magnanimous gentleman, while she is a narrow-minded and vindictive green tea girl.
If a mistress or a daughter-in-law dies in the family, it won’t have any impact on the careers of the father and brother, right?
"That's good, that's good."
Aunt Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked again in confusion, "Ci'er hasn't finished yet. Even though His Majesty personally fed you tea, he just left like that. How can you be sure you can enter the palace? If you guess wrong, the young lady will definitely not let it go."
"I just rely on my intuition."
Su Ci smiled and tilted her head.
Because she has a golden finger.
Xuan Yi is a loving supporting male character who falls in love with the heroine at first sight. After helping the heroine, he hides his love for the rest of his life.
The extra chapter dedicated to Xuan Yi, describing his psychology before his death, made her cry.
Moreover, taking Xuan Yi's performance today as an example, she was 100% sure that he had piqued his interest.
At this moment, he is probably secretly savoring the seduction of this little devil...
…
Imperial Palace, Funing Hall.
"cough…"
Xuan Yi touched the slightly itchy tip of his nose and lowered his eyes to look at the bowl of warm milk on the table.
Su Yan deserves credit for the fact that a concubine's daughter, who was oppressed by her mistress, could still maintain such a pure and simple character.
Well, that Minister of Rites is so old and his eyesight is so blurry that he can't even write memorials clearly. It's time for him to retire...
"His Majesty."
Grand eunuch Zhuang Yu came in with a hunched back, "Your Majesty, which concubine will you summon to sleep with you tonight?"
Xuan Yi frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and waved.
"…yes."
Zhuang Yu retreated, and Nanny Qin came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, Minister Su has left the palace."
"Um."
Xuan Yi's eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the milk and took a sip, but then frowned slightly.
It doesn't taste like this.
Nanny Qin raised her eyes slightly and saw that His Majesty had put down the milk again, and she was quite suspicious.
Your Majesty rarely drinks pure milk, so he ordered a bowl as soon as he returned to the palace today.
But now he looked dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, who should we send to the Su Mansion as the tutor?"
Xuan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "You can go there yourself. Apart from the necessary etiquette and palace rules, you don't need to teach me anything else."
"yes."
"Well...don't restrain her."
A smile flashed in Nanny Qin's eyes.
"As you command."
It is said that the Holy Heart is unfathomable.
On the way back to the palace from Su Mansion, His Majesty did not say a word, but as soon as he arrived at Funing Palace, he summoned Su Yan, who was about to leave, to talk inside, and rewarded him with two boxes of tribute tea Yueshan Yunwu and a box of jewelry.
Sure enough, her judgment of people is never wrong.
She was a very lucky little girl.
…
Su Mansion
In the mistress's courtyard, Zhao Yu was furious and Su Yin was fanning the flames.
On the other hand, Su Rong, who had calmed down, was drinking tea leisurely.
"I think you are really crazy. Yin'er is your biological sister, and you actually helped outsiders to mistreat her like this..."
"Oh, I abused her?"
Su Rong put down her teacup and glanced at her sister, whose face was covered in rashes and whose expression was angry. "Su Ci was right. The harem is a place where people can live. With Yin'er's brain, it's uncertain whether she can survive. But mother, do you really think I believed everything that girl said?"
"Now I'm certain that His Majesty has taken a fancy to her. Even if we do everything we can to stop her, how can we be sure that His Majesty will take a fancy to Yin'er? If we don't do it right, the entire Su family will be ruined. Instead of that, why not let her enter the palace smoothly and be used by us?"
Su Yin sneered: "Sister, how can you be sure that she will listen to you after entering the palace and gaining favor?"
Su Rong frowned and glanced over.
"I agreed to her agreement because I had a plan in mind. Su Ci is beautiful, and every man is lustful and eager for novelty. Your Majesty is also a man. We should take advantage of the time when she enters the palace and is favored to fight for the greatest rights and interests for our father, brother, and ourselves. As for the future, it depends on whether she can survive."
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, then asked thoughtfully, "Rong'er, do you mean that you want me to treat that bitch from Shuiyun Pavilion kindly, only temporarily?"
"Oh, of course."
Su Rong sipped her tea contentedly. "Su Ci has been spoiled by her aunt since she was little. She knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette or rules. The only thing she has is a pretty face."
"But beauty is fleeting. There are all kinds of beauties in the palace. Once Your Majesty's novelty wears off, mother wonders how long Su Ci, with her rough and crude personality, can survive in the deep palace full of intrigue and strife."
“…”
Su Yin looked at her silent mother in astonishment and stomped her feet hard.
"Mother! How could you believe it too? It's me who should go to the palace, it's me!"
"Su Yin, if you want to live, stop thinking about His Majesty."
Su Rong glanced coldly at her sister. "When Su Ci enters the palace and becomes favored, your status as a daughter of the Su family will naturally rise as well. The suitors will surely be extraordinary. By then, my mother and I will find the best marriage for you. A lifetime of wealth and glory is right before your eyes. Why bother going to that bottomless pit in the deep palace?"
"No! I won't marry anyone! I want His Majesty! I want to enter the palace!"
"lady!"
Mrs. Liu hurried in, looking a little nervous.
"The master has returned, bringing His Majesty's reward, and also, following behind him, Nanny Qin and two palace maids..."
“…”
Su Rong looked at Zhao Yu with a smile.
"Now, mother, you should believe what I say, right?"
"…Mrs. Liu, help me change my clothes. Rong'er, follow me out to greet the guests and personally escort Nanny to Shuiyun Pavilion."
"yes."
"Mother? Sister?"
clang!
Su Yin's eyes were bloodshot and she knocked over a vase.
"Ah! Are you all crazy? I should be the one entering the palace! It's me!"
…
Water Rhythm Pavilion
Su Ci had already washed up and was wearing a half-worn light green long dress with wide sleeves. Her long black hair was loosely tied up with a jade hairpin.
A face without makeup lacks the charm and cuteness of the daytime, and has a bit more purity and tenderness.
At this moment, she opened her big watery eyes and looked at the person next to Zhao Yu in surprise.
"Madame Qin, why are you here again?"
Nanny Qin stepped forward and performed a very standard kneeling and nodding gesture.
"I, Qin Zheng, pay my respects to the young lady. I have come to the Su Mansion on the orders of His Majesty to teach her the palace rules and etiquette."
"Uh, please get up."
Su Ci hurriedly gave him a fake support and turned to look at Su Yan, who was smiling.
"Look, Ci'er, this is the tribute tea and jewelry given to you by His Majesty."
