The rebirth of the poisonous girl is back

Chapter 225 Dove occupying the magpie's nest
When they came to the front yard, they could see a dozen maidservants standing on both sides, all of them bowed their heads and looked at the ground without squinting.
Seeing Su Ying approaching, the palace servants bowed their knees symbolically.
Su Ying had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still nodded with a smile on her face, and walked into the front hall after a while.
The two people in the front hall stood and sat one at a time.
Sitting in the first place was Gu Beiyu's biological mother Concubine Taishu. When she and Gu Beiyu entered the palace to serve tea on the second day of their marriage, Su Ying got to see her.
Concubine Tai Shu was sitting upright at this time, her expression was much more serious than before.
The woman standing in the hall was wearing a light blue flat skirt, her hair was simply tied up in a single bun, and a pearl tendril hairpin with cloud feet was inserted obliquely. Overall, she looked fresh and beautiful.
It's not that Su Ying is flattering herself. When it comes to appearance, this woman is not as good as herself.
Withdrawing her gaze, Su Ying took a few steps forward, feeling blessed, "I didn't know that my mother and concubine were coming, but my son and minister were not far enough to meet her, and I hope that my mother and concubine will forgive me."
Concubine Tai Shu glanced at her indifferently, "Isn't King Xian back yet?"
"Yes." Su Ying nodded, "His Royal Highness has gone to court, but has not yet returned home."
After finishing speaking, Su Ying looked at the woman with doubts in her eyes, "Mother Concubine, I don't know if this girl is...?"
Concubine Tai Shu glanced at the woman.
The woman hurriedly turned to face Su Ying, "Minister Nie Shuangshuang has seen Wangfei."
She folded her arms by her waist and bent her knees slightly.
Su Ying smiled lightly, "Miss Nie, you don't have to be polite."
Nie Shuangshuang straightened up with a smile.
The moment Su Ying and Nie Shuangshuang's eyes met, she saw the flash of pride and contempt in each other's eyes.
Withdrawing her eyes calmly, the smile on Su Ying's face remained the same, and she showed suspicion again just right, "Mother Concubine brought Miss Nie here today, is there any important matter for His Highness?"
Concubine Tai Shu glanced at her, narrowing her eyes slightly.
It has long been heard that the girls of the Su family are all ice-snow and smart. Before Su Ying married, although Concubine Tai Shu had never met her, she had met Su Xun, the former Second Prince and Concubine.
That woman had always been smart, she was not fighting or snatching, but at the same time she was secretly using means to protect herself, otherwise, how could she give birth to Gu Zizhan safely?
It can be seen from this that the girl from the Su family is not simple, so this daughter-in-law in front of her is definitely not a simple-minded master.
She personally brought Nie Shuangshuang to Xian Wang's mansion. The intention was so obvious that Su Ying even put on a blank expression that she didn't know anything. This acting skill is really good.
Thinking of her mother fighting with Mrs. Jin Guogong for so many years and still not being able to untie the knot, and this time the kiss added to the conflict, Concubine Tai Shu felt a little resentful in her heart, she snorted coldly for a moment, but smiled on her face Yingying, "Ai's family heard that after you came to the mansion, Bei Yu kicked out all the servants and concubines in the mansion. Is this true?"
Su Ying nodded deliberately, "Yes, after my minister entered the mansion, the concubines that His Highness used to serve as concubines are indeed gone."
Concubine Tai Shu's eyes were a little cold, but her smile remained unchanged, "The Ai family only heard about it before, but what you said today is true. You just came to the Xianwang's mansion, and now the mansion And there is only you as the hostess, when Beiyu is not around, you will inevitably be lonely, Aijia specially sent Shuangshuang to be with you."
This was so tactful, it was clear that the mother-in-law was pushing women around her husband, but she expressed it in such a tactful way that the daughter-in-law had no reason to refuse to refute.
A bit of bitterness overflowed from the corner of Su Ying's mouth, and she was slightly disappointed in her heart.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Concubine Tai Shu saw that he did not answer for a long time, and her tone was already displeased.
Su Ying came back to her senses, and said in a calm voice: "My concubine's kindness, I shouldn't have dismissed it, but after all, His Highness is the master of the Xianwang Palace, and Miss Nie wants to stay in the palace. This kind of thing, I can't take the initiative to do it, mother and concubine might as well wait for a while, and you can discuss with him after His Highness comes back from court, if he agrees, then I will have nothing to say."
Concubine Tai Shu's face darkened, "You are Princess Xian, the mistress of the back house of Prince Xian's mansion, can you not even take charge of such a trivial matter?"
Su Ying kept a faint smile on her face, "It's not that the minister alone can't be the master, it's that the minister and the husband drank the wine together on the night of the big wedding, and agreed that from now on, the husband and wife will work together and be honest with each other. The matter seems small, but whether the husband is happy or not, the son-in-law does not know. If the son-in-law decides to keep Miss Nie in private, and the husband is displeased by then, then the relationship between the son-in-law and the husband will definitely be strong. If it is damaged, the concubine mother is His Highness's biological mother, so she probably doesn't want to see a estrangement between her son and daughter-in-law?"
Su Ying's words first showed that she and Gu Beiyu were deeply in love with each other, intending to test Concubine Tai Shu's attitude towards her relationship with Gu Beiyu, and then pushed Nie Shuangshuang, a hot potato, on Gu Beiyu by the way.
Anyway, it was Gu Beiyu's biological mother who was sitting on it, so how he wanted to deal with it was up to him, lest she should not be a daughter-in-law, should not be, and would not be a human being inside and out. .
Concubine Tai Shu's face darkened again and again, she only expected that the girl from the Su family was ice-snow and smart, but she never expected that Su Ying would be so eloquent, she could easily and indirectly reject her kindness of being a mother-in-law with seemingly innocent words.
Impatiently waving her hands, Concubine Tai Shu said in a slow tone, "Since you can't be the master, then the Ai family will be the master for you. From now on, both will stay in the Xianwang mansion, and both are members of the Ai family. , and you are still young, if there is something that you did not do well, Aijia hopes that you, the head of the house, can be more tolerant, bear what you should bear, let what you should let, don't bother with her about everything, and spread the news if you don't have anything to do. People saw the joke."
"Your servant will save you." Su Ying knelt again.
Concubine Tai Shu looked at Nie Shuangshuang with a smile on her face, completely opposite to her cold and rigid face when she faced Su Ying before, "Shuangshuang, from now on you will live in the Xianwang Mansion. Xianwangfei has always been magnanimous, she will definitely I will treat you like a sister, if you need anything, just go to her, if someone bullies you, you will go to the palace to find Aijia, and Aijia will make decisions for you."
Nie Shuangshuang's clear eyes were shining brightly, the smile on his face was very sweet, and he looked very pure and harmless, "Thank you, Madam Toffee."
Su Ying's face was slightly stiff.
Although Concubine Tai Shu said these words to Nie Shuangshuang, how could she not know that every word of Concubine Tai Shu was warning her that Nie Shuangshuang belonged to her mother-in-law, if she dared to do something to Nie Shuangshuang out of jealousy? If something happens, don't blame her mother-in-law for being rude.
Su Ying didn't know what was wrong with her, but after knowing that Nie Shuangshuang would definitely stay in the mansion to serve Gu Beiyu with her, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and her heart was tight.
Concubine Tai Shu didn't stay in Prince Xian's mansion for long before leaving.
After seeing off Concubine Tai Shu's guard of honor, Su Ying turned around and saw Nie Shuangshuang facing her with a smiling face.
"Sister, where is my room?" Nie Shuangshuang asked.
Su Ying suppressed the emotions in her eyes, "I'll arrange for someone to clean up the yard for you."
Nie Shuang's eyes moved, and she interrupted Su Ying when she was about to call for someone, "Sister, I'm new here, I'm not used to it, and I'm not comfortable with the bed, if the location of this yard is not chosen well, I will get rashes all over... ..."
After finishing speaking, she blinked her watery eyes at Su Ying.
With this sentence, everyone sounds like they are asking for Su Ying's opinion, after all, Nie Shuangshuang is the weak one.
But Su Ying could clearly see the flashing sneer and sarcasm hidden in her eyes.
Having talked to this point, if Su Ying doesn't let go, then Nie Shuangshuang will go to her mother-in-law and file a complaint at will, then she, the "jealous woman", will be blamed.
Forced to smile, Su Ying said: "Since Miss Nie recognizes the bed and the location, it's up to you to choose the yard yourself. There are many vacant yards on the left and right of the Xianwang Mansion. I will let you know which one you like. Which room will someone arrange for you?"
"Really?" Nie Shuangshuang acted like a kid who got candy.
After a while, Nie Shuangshuang stopped smiling, pouted, and walked over shaking Su Ying's arm, "Since my younger sister has already confirmed that she will stay in the Prince Xian's mansion, sister don't call me 'Miss Nie' from now on. Lest it sound terribly unfamiliar."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "Then what do you think is more appropriate for me to call you?"
Nie Shuangshuang smiled, "Of course they call me 'sister'! After all, people feel very kind when they first see you, and they have already treated you as their own sister!"
Su Ying looked at Nie Shuangshuang with coldness in her heart.
If she hadn't realized that Nie Shuangshuang was not a good person, she would have been deceived by the innocence and innocence on his face.
Asking her to call her "sister" is tantamount to forcing her to admit this woman's status in Prince Xian's mansion before Gu Beiyu comes back.
How could Su Ying not know this?
But she is just a new mistress who has just entered the house, and Nie Shuangshuang's backstage is her mother-in-law.
In this way, what reason can she have to reject Nie Shuangshuang?
Quickly brushing away the loss and gloom in her heart, Su Ying said with a smile: "I'd better call you 'Shuangshuang', it sounds more kind."
Nie Shuangshuang hooked her lips, "Really? Does my sister really think the name 'Shuangshuang' is very kind?"
"Of course." Su Ying smiled. After all, His Highness hasn't come back yet, she hastily called Nie Shuangshuang one "sister" and "sister" right. If Gu Beiyu didn't like this woman at all, wouldn't it be awkward on both sides? ?Simply changed to a name that would not offend anyone.
Nie Shuangshuang blinked, and acted like she had suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder my sister feels kind. Just now my sister heard my sister call the maid next to her as 'Shuang'er'. Could it be that my sister's name is too similar to hers, so she treats my sister too much. Have a good feeling?"
Su Ying's face froze slightly.
What Nie Shuangshuang said was clearly telling her that the reason why she thought calling her "Shuangshuang" was kinder was that she regarded her as her maid.
The fingers in the sleeves clenched a little bit, Su Ying didn't speak.
However, Nie Shuangshuang was still holding that harmless smiling face of humans and animals, and still held Su Ying's arm familiarly, "If sister likes it, then call me 'Shuangshuang'. Anyway, Shuangshuang is new here, so it's right for me to serve my sister." of."
These words invisibly condemned Su Ying.
If her mother-in-law knew that she treated Nie Shuangshuang as a servant, would she still have a place in Prince Xian's mansion in the future?
The face was stiff but not for a moment, Su Ying quickly calmed down, and slowly spit out, "My sister was joking, there is no shortage of maidservants in the Xianwang Palace, you are the master, and they are servants, how can you compare with you?"
Hearing Su Ying's "sister", Nie Shuangshuang really smiled, a bright smile.
The two soon came to the backyard led by the maidservant.
Su Ying stood aside and let Nie Shuangshuang choose the yard she likes.
After watching for a long time, Nie Shuangshuang shook his head to express his dissatisfaction.
Seeing that only Su Ying's own courtyard, Fanghua Pavilion, was left, she said in embarrassment, "Sister, tell me what kind of courtyard you like, and I will discuss it with His Highness in the evening, and I will find someone to repair and decorate it for you tomorrow. what do you think?"
Nie Shuangshuang didn't answer, her eyes rolled around, and finally stopped on Su Ying's Fanghua Pavilion, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Sister, I really like this courtyard! Can I live here?"
Shuang'er, the maidservant behind Su Ying, gritted her teeth.
The woman Nie Shuangshuang clearly did it on purpose.
Fanghua Pavilion is the main courtyard of the princess, and Nie Shuangshuang is just a concubine, what qualifications does she have to live in!
Hearing the sound of Shuang'er gnashing her teeth, Su Ying shook her head at the other party indiscriminately, signaling her to be calm.
To be honest, on the first day Nie Shuangshuang entered the mansion, she robbed her yard without even seeing His Highness, Su Ying was very angry, but when she thought of the words her mother-in-law said before she left, she couldn't help but feel angry. Thinking of the earnest instructions of her mother and ancestors before she got married, she felt a little relieved.
Forget it, she's just a little girl who hasn't experienced much in the world, so why do I bother with her so much?
Putting on a smile, Su Ying said: "Since my sister likes Fanghua Pavilion, I'll let someone move it out for you later."
Nie Shuangshuang immediately put on an appearance of "I didn't mean it, I just found out that this is my sister's yard", with guilt on his face, twisting his sleeves helplessly, "If you can't do it, how can you not live because my sister is not acclimated?" Are you used to other yards and easily occupy your sister's yard? This is too..."
Su Ying turned her eyes away and said calmly: "Sister, don't say anything unnecessary. As long as you like it, don't say one courtyard, even two. I have to find a way to let someone move it out and tidy it up for you."
Nie Shuangshuang still looked panic-stricken, "Then... thank you, sister."
Su Ying clenched and loosened her fingers in her sleeves, and soon someone moved all her things in Fanghua Pavilion to a smaller listening courtyard not far away.
Originally, Fanghua Pavilion was the main courtyard, and she, the head mistress, should have lived there, but who made Nie Shuangshuang find a good excuse?
People are not acclimatized to the environment, they recognize the bed and the location of the courtyard, and if they live in the nearby courtyard, they will get a rash and feel uncomfortable, but they can only live in the Fanghua Pavilion in the main courtyard.
About the intrigue in the backyard, it's not that her mother didn't tell her before she got married, and she also knew that Nie Shuangshuang planned to use Concubine Taishu as a big backer to give herself a bad reputation on the first day of entering the mansion, but it's not that she didn't want to fight, or she didn't want to expose it Nie Shuangshuang's clumsy tricks, but now that His Highness's attitude is not yet clear, how dare she easily contradict her mother-in-law and let His Highness be caught in the middle?
After thinking about it, Su Ying could only temporarily swallow her breath.
Su Ying just moved out of Fanghua Pavilion to the Listening Academy, and Nie Shuangshuang moved into Fanghua Pavilion, and even came to Su Ying's place to act like a spoiled child, "Sister, sister thinks that many of the furnishings and decorations in Fanghua Pavilion are unremarkable. It's too rustic, what do you think if you want to change it?"
Originally Fanghua Pavilion is also owned by Nie Shuangshuang now, so there is no need for her to come and talk about this kind of thing, as long as the servants rearrange it.
However, this woman still came with a seemingly cautious "respect" attitude.
It's nothing more than wanting to laugh at Su Ying for pretending to be mature at a young age, the decorations and furnishings in the courtyard are rustic, and she doesn't know how to keep up with the fashion to please His Highness.
Su Ying felt bitterness in her heart one after another, and forced a smile, "Whatever my sister likes, just let someone arrange it for you, there is no need to come here to discuss with me."
Nie Shuangshuang went back contentedly.
inner room.
After Su Ying took the maids and women to arrange the room, she sat aside and rested.
Shuang'er bit her lower lip dissatisfied, with a look of resentment.
"Your Majesty, you are the concubine who was personally bestowed by the Empress Dowager, how could you allow such a woman to step on your head?"
Su Ying waved her hand, "Forget it, it's just a yard, she likes it, so let her live in it."
Shuang'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "But the nature of this matter is very serious, it's not just as simple as your empress being tolerant and generous and giving up the yard to that woman."
Su Ying pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Shuang'er became even more anxious, "Mother, things have developed to this point, why are you not in a hurry at all? That woman can occupy your yard today, but tomorrow Then we can take His Highness as our own. Besides, those of us who know the truth know that the empress is kind and magnanimous to give up her yard to her. Those rotten mouths outside who don't know will only think that the empress is cowardly. Even the concubines in the mansion can't fight, how ugly it is!"
"Shuang'er!" Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Su Ying immediately interrupted, "Stop talking about it, I have my own considerations about this matter."
His Highness's attitude is the key to her future fate, but now His Highness has not come back, if she can't hold back and have a dispute with Nie Shuangshuang, His Highness will come back in a while, in case she favors Nie in the face of Concubine Tai Shu On Shuangshuang's side, wouldn't she be ashamed by then?
Shuang'er persuaded her not to, and sighed one after another.
An hour later, Shuang'er came to report happily, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is back."
Su Ying's heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to get up, she saw another woman coming outside the door and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has gone to the Fanghua Pavilion."
"Okay, I see." Su Ying suppressed the sudden pain in her heart, and lay back on the couch again, staring at the ceiling beam, a little dull.
*
Gu Beiyu walked into the Fanghua Pavilion, and suddenly found that the furnishings inside had changed a lot. He was full of doubts, and was about to find a maid to come over and ask, "Shuang'er!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang, who had packed up inside, came out with a pure smile on his face.
Suddenly seeing a strange woman in his mansion, Gu Beiyu's face was not very good, "Who are you?"
The smile on Nie Shuangshuang's face remained undiminished, "Your Highness just called 'Shuang'er', isn't it just calling 'Concubine'?"
Gu Beiyu's heart sank, "A concubine?"
Nie Shuangshuang explained with a smile, "Yes, the concubine was personally sent by the concubine Tai Shu to serve your Highness together with the princess and sister."
Gu Beiyu listened, his expression changed again and again, he glanced around, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Yinger?"
Nie Shuangshuang faltered, making Gu Beiyu even more suspicious. He frowned and shouted, "Speak!"
Nie Shuangshuang had tears in his eyes, "My concubine came to Jinling City for the first time from my hometown, and I couldn't fully adapt to the weather here, and the water and soil were not acclimatized, so I asked my sister to help me choose a courtyard with quiet air. My sister asked me to choose it myself. I don’t know that this Fanghua Pavilion is the main courtyard, but I simply like this courtyard, so I specified that I want this one. My sister didn’t tell me beforehand that this is only for princesses to live in. After I move in, let the servants start to rearrange her. Come here and blame the concubine."
Speaking of this, Nie Shuangshuang cried pear blossoms with rain, "Your Highness, I really didn't intend to occupy the courtyard of the concubine's sister. I really didn't know it beforehand. She allowed me to live in. Later, it was probably I don’t feel reconciled, so…”
Gu Beiyu frowned even deeper, "The difference between the main courtyard and the side courtyard where the concubine's room lives is so big, tell me that you can't see that this is the main courtyard?"
Nie Shuangshuang choked for a moment, tears streaming down her face, "Your Highness, I come from a poor family. I have never seen such a big courtyard. Today is the first time, so... I can't recognize it for a while."
Gu Beiyu looked at Nie Shuangshuang, feeling helpless for a moment, he didn't like women who were easy to cry, but this was sent by his concubine himself, so he couldn't get angry at her, and he couldn't do anything to her.
After deliberating for a long time, Gu Beiyu's immediate thought was to go to Su Ying to find out more about this matter.
As soon as Gu Beiyu turned around, his sleeve was grabbed by Nie Shuangshuang.
Gu Beiyu had no choice but to turn his head, "What are you doing?"
Nie Shuangshuang's eyes were full of tears, "Your Highness, this incident is the concubine's fault. Don't blame my sister. My sister was also very angry for a while, so she took it out on me..."
Gu Beiyu pinched the center of his eyebrows, "You go back and rest first, I will go find her myself."
"No." Nie Shuangshuang shook his head, his eyes showed a bit of guilt, "This matter is ultimately my fault, and I am going to go to my sister's yard with His Highness, and confess my mistake to her face to face."
Gu Beiyu pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Please Your Majesty." Nie Shuangshuang said as she bent her knees and was about to kneel.
Gu Beiyu hurriedly helped her up, "Okay, I will take you there."
Nie Shuangshuang was full of gratitude, but showed a sinister smile from an angle that Gu Beiyu didn't see.
Su Ying, everything today is just the beginning!
*
Listening House.
When Su Ying was drowsy, Shuang'er came to send a message again, but her complexion was not very good.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is bringing the woman surnamed Nie here."
Su Ying's eyebrows jumped, she straightened up slowly, smoothed the folds on the skirt in an orderly manner, "Come, come with me to meet His Highness."
The two master and servant came to the gate of the courtyard, and they saw Gu Beiyu coming this way.
Nie Shuangshuang followed behind him, presumably she had cried, and there were still crystal teardrops on her eyelashes. I couldn't express my pity for her weak expression.
Su Ying looked away and fixed her gaze on Gu Beiyu. When he approached, she slowly knelt down, "I have seen Your Highness personally."
"Yinger, what's going on?" Gu Beiyu glanced at Nie Shuangshuang and asked Su Ying.
His original intention was to ask Su Ying how Nie Shuangshuang came to Xian Wang's mansion and why he didn't know anything about it before.
Su Ying took a look at Nie Shuangshuang, who was pear blossom and raining, and thought that Gu Beiyu was asking why Nie Shuangshuang was crying, and whether she made her cry.
Her heart sank slightly, Su Ying didn't speak.
Before she could open her mouth, Nie Shuangshuang came forward and knelt down in front of Su Ying with a plop, tears streaming down her face like a broken thread, "Sister, sister knew she was wrong, sister shouldn't be so ignorant to snatch your yard, sister's heart It's only natural to have fire. Before, my sister didn't know the way, couldn't find the listening theater, and couldn't come to apologize to you in person. Now, thanks to His Royal Highness leading the way, my sister feels guilty. I'm really sorry. Sister, you want to beat and scold , my sister listens as you please."
Su Ying looked at Nie Shuangshuang, thinking that before she came over to ask if she could decorate the Fanghua Pavilion as she liked, but now she said in front of His Highness that she couldn't find a way to come here before.
This play is so vividly performed that it is hard to doubt whether it is true or not.
With a sneer, Su Ying said: "It's just a courtyard. My sister likes it, so you can live in it. Why do you have to go to war?"
"Really?" Nie Shuangshuang once again showed that flattered expression, "But... will my sister really not come to me for no reason and get angry with me like before?"
Su Ying was stunned.
Shuang'er and the maidservants' faces all turned dark. Their princess has never stepped out of the yard since they moved here. Even their maidservants know that the princess voluntarily gave up Fanghua Pavilion to Nie Shuangshuang, so how could she still run away? Get angry at her in the past?
Nie Shuangshuang, that bitch, is simply too shameless!
Shuang'er tightly clenched her fingers, and kept looking up at Su Ying.
Su Ying has fully realized that her feelings for Nie Shuangshuang have staged a tragic drama long before Gu Beiyu came: Nie Shuangshuang is a woman from the countryside, her family is poor, and she doesn't know the main courtyard and the side courtyard in the palace. The courtyard, and she, the princess, pretended to be virtuous and generous when Nie Shuangshuang was selected, and made things difficult for Nie Shuangshuang after she moved in, making Nie Shuangshuang cry.
Concealing her anger, Su Ying didn't look at Nie Shuangshuang, but just looked at Gu Beiyu, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, you said that I will give Fanghua Pavilion to this younger sister, okay?"
Gu Beiyu looked at Nie Shuangshuang, who was still wiping tears with red eye circles, and then at Su Ying, who had cool pupils. He couldn't bear it, so he took two steps forward, took Su Ying's hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yinger, I have wronged you."
This is to indirectly agree with her to give up Fanghua Pavilion to Nie Shuangshuang.
The smile on the corner of Su Ying's mouth gradually turned bitter, and she shook her head.
Don't be wronged, she is already a princess, what else is there to be wronged, the husband is a prince, isn't it normal for him to have three wives and four concubines?
Isn't it just to let her, the concubine, give up the main courtyard to a concubine who just entered the mansion?
Isn't it because the husband began to favor this woman on the first day she entered the mansion?
Isn't it because I was framed by that woman and misunderstood by His Highness?
No grievances, no grievances at all.
Withdrawing her hands from Gu Beiyu's, Su Ying said coolly, "Your Highness, I am tired and want to go back to my room to rest."
After speaking, Su Ying turned and went back to the room without looking back.
The maids and women all followed, all hating Nie Shuangshuang to the bone.
"Your Highness."
Seeing that Gu Beiyu's eyes were still locked on Su Ying's closed door, Nie Shuangshuang stood up, gently tugged on Gu Beiyu's sleeve, and whispered, "Sister, she has already gone back."
Gu Beiyu took a deep look at Nie Shuangshuang, raised his hand and broke free her hand holding his sleeve, and said expressionlessly, "I've been tired all day, isn't Miss Nie planning to go back to her room to rest?"
"Ms. Nie?" Nie Shuangshuang was shocked, "Didn't Your Highness call me 'Shuanger' before?"
Gu Beiyu didn't want to say any more, turned around and strode out of the listening courtyard. He didn't go anywhere, but went straight out of Prince Xian's mansion, and rode his horse and galloped towards the palace.
Concubine Tai Shu held a silver fork in her hand and was enjoying the chilled fruit.
Nanny Zhou came in and said, "Princess Taifei, His Royal Highness King Xian is asking to see you outside."
Concubine Taishu paused fork the fruit, "Let him in."
Not a moment after Nanny Zhou left, Gu Beiyu came in and saluted Concubine Tai Shu respectfully, "I have seen my concubine mother."
Concubine Tai Shu lowered her eyes, "Bei Yu, are you here for Shuang Shuang's business?"
Gu Beiyu nodded.
"That's a good girl." Concubine Tai Shu said, "You have to treat her well in the future."
Gu Beiyu frowned, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, I just want to know, did you arrange this Nie Shuangshuang, or did your grandmother instruct you to arrange it?"
The grandmother and Mrs. Jin Guogong did not get along, and the two had been fighting openly and secretly for many years because of Su Leyao's death. Gu Beiyu knew about these things.
Concubine Tai Shu's face darkened, "Beiyu, what do you mean, did you come all the way into the palace to question your mother and concubine?"
Gu Beiyu said: "There is no shortage of concubines in the son's house."
The implication is that he doesn't want Nie Shuangshuang to stay in Xian Wang's mansion.
Concubine Tai Shu was furious, and slapped the table heavily, "Presumptuous!"
Concubine Tai Shu has a gentle temperament, and she basically would not get angry like this, but this was the first time she got angry at Gu Beiyu.
Therefore, Gu Beiyu was taken aback by her.
"Don't think that Ai's family doesn't know. You drove away all the concubines as soon as Su Ying married into Prince Xian's mansion. Before Shuang Shuang came, there was only Su Ying in your mansion. Now you tell me that you don't lack concubines. ? One Su Ying can replace so many women?"
Gu Beiyu bit the bullet and said: "Mother, this son-in-law didn't mean that. It really happened too suddenly. After the son-in-law left the court, he suddenly found out that there was an extra woman in the house. This is simply..."
Concubine Tai Shu snorted coldly, "Don't try to use these excuses to fool the Ai family, both of you must stay in the Xian Wang's mansion to work for you, if you dare to treat her badly, it is tantamount to being dissatisfied with the Ai family, Then, if you have any dissatisfaction and want to get angry, just come to Aijia."
"Mother Concubine!" Gu Beiyu thumped and knelt on the ground, "I never thought of forcing you."
"You don't want Shuangshuang, aren't you forcing Ai's family?" Concubine Tai Shu gritted her teeth, tears glistening in her eyes, "Your father just left Ai's family behind, and now all hopes of Ai's family are pinned In you, only you are the motivation to support Aijia's survival. Aijia naturally hopes that you will have a full family of children and grandchildren in the future. Aijia will not care about you because of Su Ying driving out the concubine in the house, but You must accept Shuang Shuang, and give her the position of side concubine when she is pregnant."
Gu Beiyu looked troubled.
It's not that he hasn't touched other women, but after marrying Su Ying, he never thought of touching other women. One is to be responsible to Su Ying, and the other is because he doesn't want to disappoint cousin Jingse.
"Mother and concubine, don't force me." Gu Beiyu clenched his fingers tightly, and his voice was very deep.
"Forcing you?" Concubine Tai Shu suddenly smiled, "You said that Ai's family sent you a girl and asked her to work for you, are you forcing you?"
Gu Beiyu argued hard, "I already have a main concubine, so I don't want any side concubine."
Concubine Tai Shu said sharply: "If you are just a son of an ordinary family, then you don't want it, and the Ai family will not force you, but it is a pity, you are a prince, have you ever heard of any prince's house except the concubine? , let alone a side concubine, who doesn’t even have a concubine? Even the regent has to take a concubine, do you think you can escape?”
When Gu Beiyu heard about the Prince Regent taking a concubine, he thought it was very strange at the time, but thinking about it later, it was probably a response made by the Prince Regent in order to prevent the Empress Dowager from filling his house with women.
But I am different from the regent, he can ignore or even not touch the concubines that the regent takes, but he has to be forced to have both and let her be pregnant, this is completely different!
With his concubine and grandmother on one side, and Su Ying and Jing Se on the other, Gu Beiyu was caught in a difficult decision for the first time in his life.
"You have considered it before leaving Zhongcui Palace today." Concubine Tai Shu commanded condescendingly.
"Mother Concubine." Gu Beiyu had the last sliver of hope, "Didn't King Ning and Prince Yue only marry one wife, why can't my son follow their example?"
Concubine Tai Shu looked down coldly, "Did that woman Su Ying say something to you?"
"No." Gu Beiyu quickly shook his head in denial.
Between the lines, the concubine Mu clearly had extremely strong dissatisfaction and resentment towards Su Ying, and he couldn't drag Su Ying into the water anymore.
"No, that would be the best." Concubine Tai Shu snorted coldly, "Prince Ning and Prince Yue are kings with different surnames, you are a prince, how can they be compared with you?"
Gu Beiyu's heart sank.
Hard ones won't work, so Concubine Tai Shu had no choice but to be soft.
"Beiyu, Concubine Mu is already half-buried in the ground, and I only have this wish for you, can't you satisfy Concubine Mu?"
Gu Beiyu thought of the scene when his father passed away, his mother and concubine nearly collapsed, and couldn't get out of bed for several days. He was so panicked that he pinched his fingernails into his palms. meaning."
He didn't want to disappoint Su Ying, and he didn't want to disappoint Cousin Jingse, but he couldn't let his mother and concubine worry about it. In order to let him survive the imperial power struggle safely, the mother and concubine fought so much with the women in the harem. It took a lot of hardships to protect him under the wings and let him grow up safely. This is his biological mother!Parents with body, hair and skin, without mother and concubine, how could there be Gu Beiyu today?
Isn't it just a Nie Shuangshuang?
He just accepts it!
Finally hearing him let go, Concubine Tai Shu's brows relaxed, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, she walked down and helped Gu Beiyu up herself, "That's right, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why do you have to do it for a man? Women and concubines and your grandmother are having trouble, and we are doing it for your own good."
"Well, Erchen knows."
*
When we returned to Prince Xian's mansion, it was nearly dark.
Gu Beiyu sat down in the study.
The servant came in and asked if he wanted to pass on the meal, Gu Beiyu waved his hand, "No need, this king has no appetite."
He stood up and walked to the listening courtyard in a mysterious manner.
He wanted to go in and ask Su Ying to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
"Your Majesty, servant girl." Seeing Gu Beiyu, the maidservants hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed in unison.
This movement startled Su Ying in the room.
She was embroidering against the lamp, when she heard the sound, she opened the door and walked out, and she saw Gu Beiyu hesitating outside.
After saluting, Su Ying asked: "Has Your Highness eaten?"
Gu Beiyu didn't answer, "Can you let me in for a sit?"
"Your Highness, I dare not refuse." Su Ying bent her knees again and led Gu Beiyu into the second room.
When Gu Beiyu saw that she didn't let him into her room, he felt even more guilty. Su Ying must have noticed it, so there was a estrangement in his heart for him.
"Yinger." After serving the tea that Su Ying personally poured, Gu Beiyu took her hand, "Are you blaming me?"
Su Ying looked as usual, and asked with a smile, "What's your fault?"
When Gu Beiyu met her clear eyes, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
If there is something, he has to say it.
"Nie Shuangshuang... she must stay."
Su Ying felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show anything unusual on her face, "I understand His Highness's embarrassment."
On the one hand is his biological mother, and on the other is her, the princess who has just married, but anyone with a little filial piety will choose the biological mother.
Therefore, Su Ying was not surprised to hear this answer.
"The concubine knows." Su Ying said: "His Highness will treat her well in the future. If she does not live well in the house, it will not be your highness, but the concubine. I understand your highness's embarrassment, please Put yourself in another place and understand the difficulties of the concubine."
If Nie Shuangshuang's life is not good, her mother-in-law will never criticize Gu Beiyu, but will push all the faults on her "jealous" daughter-in-law.
Instead of embarrassing your husband and yourself because of your own selfish desires, it is better to be more tolerant and let your husband accept that woman and everyone will be happy.
Seeing her like this, Gu Beiyu scolded himself in his heart for not being human.
Even though he failed to give her his heart, he originally wanted to promise her to be a couple for the rest of his life, but now he can't do it.
He felt like a jerk.
"Ying'er, why don't you beat me and scold me?" Gu Beiyu suddenly looked at her in a daze.
"You and I are a married couple." Su Ying said quietly: "It is said that the husband and wife are of the same mind. How can I not understand the difficulties of the husband? If you neglect both of us for the sake of the concubine, it will only make the mother and concubine feel cold. Although the concubine is not too much Great family management skills, but I also have a small wish, that is, our family can be more peaceful and peaceful, and don't make a mess because of trivial matters. This is not what I want to see, and I believe it is not His Highness and Mother Concubine wanted to see."
"But..." Gu Beiyu frowned.
He hoped that Su Ying would stop talking about this, he would rather she cry and be ignorant at this moment, maybe he would feel better.
"Your Highness, it's late at night." Su Ying reminded him, "Miss Nie has just entered the mansion, if you don't accompany her, it will be unreasonable."
Gu Beiyu gently took Su Ying's hand, raised her hand when Su Ying was unaware, and slapped her jade-white cheek with his strength.
That half of his face instantly turned red and swollen.
Su Ying was shocked, "Your Highness, you..."
She hurriedly got up to find ointment to apply to him, but Gu Beiyu grabbed her wrist, "I'm a beast, I'm not a human, I deserve this slap."
Seeing him like this, how could Su Ying feel any better? Tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Not daring to face her again, Gu Beiyu resolutely got up and left.
Seeing Gu Beiyu coming in, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she changed into a panicked look in an instant, and she sat up and shrank into a corner with her arms around her.
"Your Highness...you..."
Gu Beiyu stood on the screen with his hands behind his back, his face was hidden in the dark, he didn't look at her, and his voice was very calm: "I've been tired all day, go to bed earlier."
When you're done, turn around and leave.
Nie Shuangshuang was anxious, "Your Highness came to Fanghua Pavilion, just to say this to my concubine?"
Gu Beiyu never looked back, "You and I met for the first time, and I don't think there is much to talk about. This king is very busy, so let's go first."
Nie Shuangshuang suddenly had tears in her eyes, and tightly clenched the mattress with both hands, "Is there something wrong with Shuangshuang that made His Highness unhappy?"
Gu Beiyu sneered, "No, as a child-bearing tool, your performance is very good."
Nie Shuang's face froze.
Gu Beiyu didn't want to talk to this woman anymore, "This king's concubine is He Bingxing, no one knows better than this king, from now on, you'd better restrain yourself, otherwise, don't blame this king for being rude!"
"Your Highness!"
Looking at the back of Gu Beiyu who was resolutely preparing to leave, Nie Shuangshuang shouted, "Since the concubine was personally delivered to you by the concubine, how could she do something that would make His Highness sad? Those during the day, concubine What I say is the truth.”
Gu Beiyu pursed his lips coldly, "Well, liars will suffer a terrible death."
Nie Shuangshuang was shocked and stared at his back in disbelief.
This time, Gu Beiyu didn't stay any longer, and left Fanghua Pavilion directly. He had no face to see Su Ying, and went to sleep in the study.
In the listening courtyard, Shuang'er whispered: "Madam, the lights at Fanghua Pavilion have been turned off, you should rest earlier."
Hearing the word "lights off", Su Ying felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and her nose was so sour that tears welled up in her eyes.
Clearly knew that such a day would come, but it always came so fast that it was simply incompetent to accept.
Wiping away tears secretly, Su Ying lay down on the bed under Shuang'er's service.
That night, Su Ying suffered from insomnia.
But in fact, Gu Beiyu who was sleeping in the study was the one who suffered from insomnia.
On the second day, Gu Beiyu didn't go to court, he asked someone to enter the palace to ask for leave, and after washing up, he went directly to Chu Palace.
Jing Se and Fan Chen just woke up.
Fan Chen is still sending Jing Sewan.
Jing Se sat in front of the bronze mirror, yawning again and again, unable to open her eyelids.
"Still sleepy?" Fan Chen said with a smile: "You slept for a long time yesterday, you can't snooze any more today, you have to get up and walk, it's good for the baby."
Jing Se said angrily: "You probably made me lazy." When I was pregnant with Haohao before, why did I want to sleep all day like now?At that time, I was very energetic.
"So I don't plan to make you lazy anymore." Fan Chen gently helped her stand up, "The King Xian came to our house early in the morning, presumably there is something important, you have to go see him .”
"Bei Yu?" Jing Se looked surprised, "He hasn't come to our house for a long time, what's the wind here today?"
"I don't know." Fan Chen shook his head, "I don't want to worry about other people's affairs except you."
(End of this chapter)
When they came to the front yard, they could see a dozen maidservants standing on both sides, all of them bowed their heads and looked at the ground without squinting.
Seeing Su Ying approaching, the palace servants bowed their knees symbolically.
Su Ying had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still nodded with a smile on her face, and walked into the front hall after a while.
The two people in the front hall stood and sat one at a time.
Sitting in the first place was Gu Beiyu's biological mother Concubine Taishu. When she and Gu Beiyu entered the palace to serve tea on the second day of their marriage, Su Ying got to see her.
Concubine Tai Shu was sitting upright at this time, her expression was much more serious than before.
The woman standing in the hall was wearing a light blue flat skirt, her hair was simply tied up in a single bun, and a pearl tendril hairpin with cloud feet was inserted obliquely. Overall, she looked fresh and beautiful.
It's not that Su Ying is flattering herself. When it comes to appearance, this woman is not as good as herself.
Withdrawing her gaze, Su Ying took a few steps forward, feeling blessed, "I didn't know that my mother and concubine were coming, but my son and minister were not far enough to meet her, and I hope that my mother and concubine will forgive me."
Concubine Tai Shu glanced at her indifferently, "Isn't King Xian back yet?"
"Yes." Su Ying nodded, "His Royal Highness has gone to court, but has not yet returned home."
After finishing speaking, Su Ying looked at the woman with doubts in her eyes, "Mother Concubine, I don't know if this girl is...?"
Concubine Tai Shu glanced at the woman.
The woman hurriedly turned to face Su Ying, "Minister Nie Shuangshuang has seen Wangfei."
She folded her arms by her waist and bent her knees slightly.
Su Ying smiled lightly, "Miss Nie, you don't have to be polite."
Nie Shuangshuang straightened up with a smile.
The moment Su Ying and Nie Shuangshuang's eyes met, she saw the flash of pride and contempt in each other's eyes.
Withdrawing her eyes calmly, the smile on Su Ying's face remained the same, and she showed suspicion again just right, "Mother Concubine brought Miss Nie here today, is there any important matter for His Highness?"
Concubine Tai Shu glanced at her, narrowing her eyes slightly.
It has long been heard that the girls of the Su family are all ice-snow and smart. Before Su Ying married, although Concubine Tai Shu had never met her, she had met Su Xun, the former Second Prince and Concubine.
That woman had always been smart, she was not fighting or snatching, but at the same time she was secretly using means to protect herself, otherwise, how could she give birth to Gu Zizhan safely?
It can be seen from this that the girl from the Su family is not simple, so this daughter-in-law in front of her is definitely not a simple-minded master.
She personally brought Nie Shuangshuang to Xian Wang's mansion. The intention was so obvious that Su Ying even put on a blank expression that she didn't know anything. This acting skill is really good.
Thinking of her mother fighting with Mrs. Jin Guogong for so many years and still not being able to untie the knot, and this time the kiss added to the conflict, Concubine Tai Shu felt a little resentful in her heart, she snorted coldly for a moment, but smiled on her face Yingying, "Ai's family heard that after you came to the mansion, Bei Yu kicked out all the servants and concubines in the mansion. Is this true?"
Su Ying nodded deliberately, "Yes, after my minister entered the mansion, the concubines that His Highness used to serve as concubines are indeed gone."
Concubine Tai Shu's eyes were a little cold, but her smile remained unchanged, "The Ai family only heard about it before, but what you said today is true. You just came to the Xianwang's mansion, and now the mansion And there is only you as the hostess, when Beiyu is not around, you will inevitably be lonely, Aijia specially sent Shuangshuang to be with you."
This was so tactful, it was clear that the mother-in-law was pushing women around her husband, but she expressed it in such a tactful way that the daughter-in-law had no reason to refuse to refute.
A bit of bitterness overflowed from the corner of Su Ying's mouth, and she was slightly disappointed in her heart.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Concubine Tai Shu saw that he did not answer for a long time, and her tone was already displeased.
Su Ying came back to her senses, and said in a calm voice: "My concubine's kindness, I shouldn't have dismissed it, but after all, His Highness is the master of the Xianwang Palace, and Miss Nie wants to stay in the palace. This kind of thing, I can't take the initiative to do it, mother and concubine might as well wait for a while, and you can discuss with him after His Highness comes back from court, if he agrees, then I will have nothing to say."
Concubine Tai Shu's face darkened, "You are Princess Xian, the mistress of the back house of Prince Xian's mansion, can you not even take charge of such a trivial matter?"
Su Ying kept a faint smile on her face, "It's not that the minister alone can't be the master, it's that the minister and the husband drank the wine together on the night of the big wedding, and agreed that from now on, the husband and wife will work together and be honest with each other. The matter seems small, but whether the husband is happy or not, the son-in-law does not know. If the son-in-law decides to keep Miss Nie in private, and the husband is displeased by then, then the relationship between the son-in-law and the husband will definitely be strong. If it is damaged, the concubine mother is His Highness's biological mother, so she probably doesn't want to see a estrangement between her son and daughter-in-law?"
Su Ying's words first showed that she and Gu Beiyu were deeply in love with each other, intending to test Concubine Tai Shu's attitude towards her relationship with Gu Beiyu, and then pushed Nie Shuangshuang, a hot potato, on Gu Beiyu by the way.
Anyway, it was Gu Beiyu's biological mother who was sitting on it, so how he wanted to deal with it was up to him, lest she should not be a daughter-in-law, should not be, and would not be a human being inside and out. .
Concubine Tai Shu's face darkened again and again, she only expected that the girl from the Su family was ice-snow and smart, but she never expected that Su Ying would be so eloquent, she could easily and indirectly reject her kindness of being a mother-in-law with seemingly innocent words.
Impatiently waving her hands, Concubine Tai Shu said in a slow tone, "Since you can't be the master, then the Ai family will be the master for you. From now on, both will stay in the Xianwang mansion, and both are members of the Ai family. , and you are still young, if there is something that you did not do well, Aijia hopes that you, the head of the house, can be more tolerant, bear what you should bear, let what you should let, don't bother with her about everything, and spread the news if you don't have anything to do. People saw the joke."
"Your servant will save you." Su Ying knelt again.
Concubine Tai Shu looked at Nie Shuangshuang with a smile on her face, completely opposite to her cold and rigid face when she faced Su Ying before, "Shuangshuang, from now on you will live in the Xianwang Mansion. Xianwangfei has always been magnanimous, she will definitely I will treat you like a sister, if you need anything, just go to her, if someone bullies you, you will go to the palace to find Aijia, and Aijia will make decisions for you."
Nie Shuangshuang's clear eyes were shining brightly, the smile on his face was very sweet, and he looked very pure and harmless, "Thank you, Madam Toffee."
Su Ying's face was slightly stiff.
Although Concubine Tai Shu said these words to Nie Shuangshuang, how could she not know that every word of Concubine Tai Shu was warning her that Nie Shuangshuang belonged to her mother-in-law, if she dared to do something to Nie Shuangshuang out of jealousy? If something happens, don't blame her mother-in-law for being rude.
Su Ying didn't know what was wrong with her, but after knowing that Nie Shuangshuang would definitely stay in the mansion to serve Gu Beiyu with her, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and her heart was tight.
Concubine Tai Shu didn't stay in Prince Xian's mansion for long before leaving.
After seeing off Concubine Tai Shu's guard of honor, Su Ying turned around and saw Nie Shuangshuang facing her with a smiling face.
"Sister, where is my room?" Nie Shuangshuang asked.
Su Ying suppressed the emotions in her eyes, "I'll arrange for someone to clean up the yard for you."
Nie Shuang's eyes moved, and she interrupted Su Ying when she was about to call for someone, "Sister, I'm new here, I'm not used to it, and I'm not comfortable with the bed, if the location of this yard is not chosen well, I will get rashes all over... ..."
After finishing speaking, she blinked her watery eyes at Su Ying.
With this sentence, everyone sounds like they are asking for Su Ying's opinion, after all, Nie Shuangshuang is the weak one.
But Su Ying could clearly see the flashing sneer and sarcasm hidden in her eyes.
Having talked to this point, if Su Ying doesn't let go, then Nie Shuangshuang will go to her mother-in-law and file a complaint at will, then she, the "jealous woman", will be blamed.
Forced to smile, Su Ying said: "Since Miss Nie recognizes the bed and the location, it's up to you to choose the yard yourself. There are many vacant yards on the left and right of the Xianwang Mansion. I will let you know which one you like. Which room will someone arrange for you?"
"Really?" Nie Shuangshuang acted like a kid who got candy.
After a while, Nie Shuangshuang stopped smiling, pouted, and walked over shaking Su Ying's arm, "Since my younger sister has already confirmed that she will stay in the Prince Xian's mansion, sister don't call me 'Miss Nie' from now on. Lest it sound terribly unfamiliar."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "Then what do you think is more appropriate for me to call you?"
Nie Shuangshuang smiled, "Of course they call me 'sister'! After all, people feel very kind when they first see you, and they have already treated you as their own sister!"
Su Ying looked at Nie Shuangshuang with coldness in her heart.
If she hadn't realized that Nie Shuangshuang was not a good person, she would have been deceived by the innocence and innocence on his face.
Asking her to call her "sister" is tantamount to forcing her to admit this woman's status in Prince Xian's mansion before Gu Beiyu comes back.
How could Su Ying not know this?
But she is just a new mistress who has just entered the house, and Nie Shuangshuang's backstage is her mother-in-law.
In this way, what reason can she have to reject Nie Shuangshuang?
Quickly brushing away the loss and gloom in her heart, Su Ying said with a smile: "I'd better call you 'Shuangshuang', it sounds more kind."
Nie Shuangshuang hooked her lips, "Really? Does my sister really think the name 'Shuangshuang' is very kind?"
"Of course." Su Ying smiled. After all, His Highness hasn't come back yet, she hastily called Nie Shuangshuang one "sister" and "sister" right. If Gu Beiyu didn't like this woman at all, wouldn't it be awkward on both sides? ?Simply changed to a name that would not offend anyone.
Nie Shuangshuang blinked, and acted like she had suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder my sister feels kind. Just now my sister heard my sister call the maid next to her as 'Shuang'er'. Could it be that my sister's name is too similar to hers, so she treats my sister too much. Have a good feeling?"
Su Ying's face froze slightly.
What Nie Shuangshuang said was clearly telling her that the reason why she thought calling her "Shuangshuang" was kinder was that she regarded her as her maid.
The fingers in the sleeves clenched a little bit, Su Ying didn't speak.
However, Nie Shuangshuang was still holding that harmless smiling face of humans and animals, and still held Su Ying's arm familiarly, "If sister likes it, then call me 'Shuangshuang'. Anyway, Shuangshuang is new here, so it's right for me to serve my sister." of."
These words invisibly condemned Su Ying.
If her mother-in-law knew that she treated Nie Shuangshuang as a servant, would she still have a place in Prince Xian's mansion in the future?
The face was stiff but not for a moment, Su Ying quickly calmed down, and slowly spit out, "My sister was joking, there is no shortage of maidservants in the Xianwang Palace, you are the master, and they are servants, how can you compare with you?"
Hearing Su Ying's "sister", Nie Shuangshuang really smiled, a bright smile.
The two soon came to the backyard led by the maidservant.
Su Ying stood aside and let Nie Shuangshuang choose the yard she likes.
After watching for a long time, Nie Shuangshuang shook his head to express his dissatisfaction.
Seeing that only Su Ying's own courtyard, Fanghua Pavilion, was left, she said in embarrassment, "Sister, tell me what kind of courtyard you like, and I will discuss it with His Highness in the evening, and I will find someone to repair and decorate it for you tomorrow. what do you think?"
Nie Shuangshuang didn't answer, her eyes rolled around, and finally stopped on Su Ying's Fanghua Pavilion, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Sister, I really like this courtyard! Can I live here?"
Shuang'er, the maidservant behind Su Ying, gritted her teeth.
The woman Nie Shuangshuang clearly did it on purpose.
Fanghua Pavilion is the main courtyard of the princess, and Nie Shuangshuang is just a concubine, what qualifications does she have to live in!
Hearing the sound of Shuang'er gnashing her teeth, Su Ying shook her head at the other party indiscriminately, signaling her to be calm.
To be honest, on the first day Nie Shuangshuang entered the mansion, she robbed her yard without even seeing His Highness, Su Ying was very angry, but when she thought of the words her mother-in-law said before she left, she couldn't help but feel angry. Thinking of the earnest instructions of her mother and ancestors before she got married, she felt a little relieved.
Forget it, she's just a little girl who hasn't experienced much in the world, so why do I bother with her so much?
Putting on a smile, Su Ying said: "Since my sister likes Fanghua Pavilion, I'll let someone move it out for you later."
Nie Shuangshuang immediately put on an appearance of "I didn't mean it, I just found out that this is my sister's yard", with guilt on his face, twisting his sleeves helplessly, "If you can't do it, how can you not live because my sister is not acclimated?" Are you used to other yards and easily occupy your sister's yard? This is too..."
Su Ying turned her eyes away and said calmly: "Sister, don't say anything unnecessary. As long as you like it, don't say one courtyard, even two. I have to find a way to let someone move it out and tidy it up for you."
Nie Shuangshuang still looked panic-stricken, "Then... thank you, sister."
Su Ying clenched and loosened her fingers in her sleeves, and soon someone moved all her things in Fanghua Pavilion to a smaller listening courtyard not far away.
Originally, Fanghua Pavilion was the main courtyard, and she, the head mistress, should have lived there, but who made Nie Shuangshuang find a good excuse?
People are not acclimatized to the environment, they recognize the bed and the location of the courtyard, and if they live in the nearby courtyard, they will get a rash and feel uncomfortable, but they can only live in the Fanghua Pavilion in the main courtyard.
About the intrigue in the backyard, it's not that her mother didn't tell her before she got married, and she also knew that Nie Shuangshuang planned to use Concubine Taishu as a big backer to give herself a bad reputation on the first day of entering the mansion, but it's not that she didn't want to fight, or she didn't want to expose it Nie Shuangshuang's clumsy tricks, but now that His Highness's attitude is not yet clear, how dare she easily contradict her mother-in-law and let His Highness be caught in the middle?
After thinking about it, Su Ying could only temporarily swallow her breath.
Su Ying just moved out of Fanghua Pavilion to the Listening Academy, and Nie Shuangshuang moved into Fanghua Pavilion, and even came to Su Ying's place to act like a spoiled child, "Sister, sister thinks that many of the furnishings and decorations in Fanghua Pavilion are unremarkable. It's too rustic, what do you think if you want to change it?"
Originally Fanghua Pavilion is also owned by Nie Shuangshuang now, so there is no need for her to come and talk about this kind of thing, as long as the servants rearrange it.
However, this woman still came with a seemingly cautious "respect" attitude.
It's nothing more than wanting to laugh at Su Ying for pretending to be mature at a young age, the decorations and furnishings in the courtyard are rustic, and she doesn't know how to keep up with the fashion to please His Highness.
Su Ying felt bitterness in her heart one after another, and forced a smile, "Whatever my sister likes, just let someone arrange it for you, there is no need to come here to discuss with me."
Nie Shuangshuang went back contentedly.
inner room.
After Su Ying took the maids and women to arrange the room, she sat aside and rested.
Shuang'er bit her lower lip dissatisfied, with a look of resentment.
"Your Majesty, you are the concubine who was personally bestowed by the Empress Dowager, how could you allow such a woman to step on your head?"
Su Ying waved her hand, "Forget it, it's just a yard, she likes it, so let her live in it."
Shuang'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "But the nature of this matter is very serious, it's not just as simple as your empress being tolerant and generous and giving up the yard to that woman."
Su Ying pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Shuang'er became even more anxious, "Mother, things have developed to this point, why are you not in a hurry at all? That woman can occupy your yard today, but tomorrow Then we can take His Highness as our own. Besides, those of us who know the truth know that the empress is kind and magnanimous to give up her yard to her. Those rotten mouths outside who don't know will only think that the empress is cowardly. Even the concubines in the mansion can't fight, how ugly it is!"
"Shuang'er!" Seeing that she still wanted to say something, Su Ying immediately interrupted, "Stop talking about it, I have my own considerations about this matter."
His Highness's attitude is the key to her future fate, but now His Highness has not come back, if she can't hold back and have a dispute with Nie Shuangshuang, His Highness will come back in a while, in case she favors Nie in the face of Concubine Tai Shu On Shuangshuang's side, wouldn't she be ashamed by then?
Shuang'er persuaded her not to, and sighed one after another.
An hour later, Shuang'er came to report happily, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is back."
Su Ying's heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to get up, she saw another woman coming outside the door and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has gone to the Fanghua Pavilion."
"Okay, I see." Su Ying suppressed the sudden pain in her heart, and lay back on the couch again, staring at the ceiling beam, a little dull.
*
Gu Beiyu walked into the Fanghua Pavilion, and suddenly found that the furnishings inside had changed a lot. He was full of doubts, and was about to find a maid to come over and ask, "Shuang'er!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Shuangshuang, who had packed up inside, came out with a pure smile on his face.
Suddenly seeing a strange woman in his mansion, Gu Beiyu's face was not very good, "Who are you?"
The smile on Nie Shuangshuang's face remained undiminished, "Your Highness just called 'Shuang'er', isn't it just calling 'Concubine'?"
Gu Beiyu's heart sank, "A concubine?"
Nie Shuangshuang explained with a smile, "Yes, the concubine was personally sent by the concubine Tai Shu to serve your Highness together with the princess and sister."
Gu Beiyu listened, his expression changed again and again, he glanced around, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Yinger?"
Nie Shuangshuang faltered, making Gu Beiyu even more suspicious. He frowned and shouted, "Speak!"
Nie Shuangshuang had tears in his eyes, "My concubine came to Jinling City for the first time from my hometown, and I couldn't fully adapt to the weather here, and the water and soil were not acclimatized, so I asked my sister to help me choose a courtyard with quiet air. My sister asked me to choose it myself. I don’t know that this Fanghua Pavilion is the main courtyard, but I simply like this courtyard, so I specified that I want this one. My sister didn’t tell me beforehand that this is only for princesses to live in. After I move in, let the servants start to rearrange her. Come here and blame the concubine."
Speaking of this, Nie Shuangshuang cried pear blossoms with rain, "Your Highness, I really didn't intend to occupy the courtyard of the concubine's sister. I really didn't know it beforehand. She allowed me to live in. Later, it was probably I don’t feel reconciled, so…”
Gu Beiyu frowned even deeper, "The difference between the main courtyard and the side courtyard where the concubine's room lives is so big, tell me that you can't see that this is the main courtyard?"
Nie Shuangshuang choked for a moment, tears streaming down her face, "Your Highness, I come from a poor family. I have never seen such a big courtyard. Today is the first time, so... I can't recognize it for a while."
Gu Beiyu looked at Nie Shuangshuang, feeling helpless for a moment, he didn't like women who were easy to cry, but this was sent by his concubine himself, so he couldn't get angry at her, and he couldn't do anything to her.
After deliberating for a long time, Gu Beiyu's immediate thought was to go to Su Ying to find out more about this matter.
As soon as Gu Beiyu turned around, his sleeve was grabbed by Nie Shuangshuang.
Gu Beiyu had no choice but to turn his head, "What are you doing?"
Nie Shuangshuang's eyes were full of tears, "Your Highness, this incident is the concubine's fault. Don't blame my sister. My sister was also very angry for a while, so she took it out on me..."
Gu Beiyu pinched the center of his eyebrows, "You go back and rest first, I will go find her myself."
"No." Nie Shuangshuang shook his head, his eyes showed a bit of guilt, "This matter is ultimately my fault, and I am going to go to my sister's yard with His Highness, and confess my mistake to her face to face."
Gu Beiyu pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Please Your Majesty." Nie Shuangshuang said as she bent her knees and was about to kneel.
Gu Beiyu hurriedly helped her up, "Okay, I will take you there."
Nie Shuangshuang was full of gratitude, but showed a sinister smile from an angle that Gu Beiyu didn't see.
Su Ying, everything today is just the beginning!
*
Listening House.
When Su Ying was drowsy, Shuang'er came to send a message again, but her complexion was not very good.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness is bringing the woman surnamed Nie here."
Su Ying's eyebrows jumped, she straightened up slowly, smoothed the folds on the skirt in an orderly manner, "Come, come with me to meet His Highness."
The two master and servant came to the gate of the courtyard, and they saw Gu Beiyu coming this way.
Nie Shuangshuang followed behind him, presumably she had cried, and there were still crystal teardrops on her eyelashes. I couldn't express my pity for her weak expression.
Su Ying looked away and fixed her gaze on Gu Beiyu. When he approached, she slowly knelt down, "I have seen Your Highness personally."
"Yinger, what's going on?" Gu Beiyu glanced at Nie Shuangshuang and asked Su Ying.
His original intention was to ask Su Ying how Nie Shuangshuang came to Xian Wang's mansion and why he didn't know anything about it before.
Su Ying took a look at Nie Shuangshuang, who was pear blossom and raining, and thought that Gu Beiyu was asking why Nie Shuangshuang was crying, and whether she made her cry.
Her heart sank slightly, Su Ying didn't speak.
Before she could open her mouth, Nie Shuangshuang came forward and knelt down in front of Su Ying with a plop, tears streaming down her face like a broken thread, "Sister, sister knew she was wrong, sister shouldn't be so ignorant to snatch your yard, sister's heart It's only natural to have fire. Before, my sister didn't know the way, couldn't find the listening theater, and couldn't come to apologize to you in person. Now, thanks to His Royal Highness leading the way, my sister feels guilty. I'm really sorry. Sister, you want to beat and scold , my sister listens as you please."
Su Ying looked at Nie Shuangshuang, thinking that before she came over to ask if she could decorate the Fanghua Pavilion as she liked, but now she said in front of His Highness that she couldn't find a way to come here before.
This play is so vividly performed that it is hard to doubt whether it is true or not.
With a sneer, Su Ying said: "It's just a courtyard. My sister likes it, so you can live in it. Why do you have to go to war?"
"Really?" Nie Shuangshuang once again showed that flattered expression, "But... will my sister really not come to me for no reason and get angry with me like before?"
Su Ying was stunned.
Shuang'er and the maidservants' faces all turned dark. Their princess has never stepped out of the yard since they moved here. Even their maidservants know that the princess voluntarily gave up Fanghua Pavilion to Nie Shuangshuang, so how could she still run away? Get angry at her in the past?
Nie Shuangshuang, that bitch, is simply too shameless!
Shuang'er tightly clenched her fingers, and kept looking up at Su Ying.
Su Ying has fully realized that her feelings for Nie Shuangshuang have staged a tragic drama long before Gu Beiyu came: Nie Shuangshuang is a woman from the countryside, her family is poor, and she doesn't know the main courtyard and the side courtyard in the palace. The courtyard, and she, the princess, pretended to be virtuous and generous when Nie Shuangshuang was selected, and made things difficult for Nie Shuangshuang after she moved in, making Nie Shuangshuang cry.
Concealing her anger, Su Ying didn't look at Nie Shuangshuang, but just looked at Gu Beiyu, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, you said that I will give Fanghua Pavilion to this younger sister, okay?"
Gu Beiyu looked at Nie Shuangshuang, who was still wiping tears with red eye circles, and then at Su Ying, who had cool pupils. He couldn't bear it, so he took two steps forward, took Su Ying's hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yinger, I have wronged you."
This is to indirectly agree with her to give up Fanghua Pavilion to Nie Shuangshuang.
The smile on the corner of Su Ying's mouth gradually turned bitter, and she shook her head.
Don't be wronged, she is already a princess, what else is there to be wronged, the husband is a prince, isn't it normal for him to have three wives and four concubines?
Isn't it just to let her, the concubine, give up the main courtyard to a concubine who just entered the mansion?
Isn't it because the husband began to favor this woman on the first day she entered the mansion?
Isn't it because I was framed by that woman and misunderstood by His Highness?
No grievances, no grievances at all.
Withdrawing her hands from Gu Beiyu's, Su Ying said coolly, "Your Highness, I am tired and want to go back to my room to rest."
After speaking, Su Ying turned and went back to the room without looking back.
The maids and women all followed, all hating Nie Shuangshuang to the bone.
"Your Highness."
Seeing that Gu Beiyu's eyes were still locked on Su Ying's closed door, Nie Shuangshuang stood up, gently tugged on Gu Beiyu's sleeve, and whispered, "Sister, she has already gone back."
Gu Beiyu took a deep look at Nie Shuangshuang, raised his hand and broke free her hand holding his sleeve, and said expressionlessly, "I've been tired all day, isn't Miss Nie planning to go back to her room to rest?"
"Ms. Nie?" Nie Shuangshuang was shocked, "Didn't Your Highness call me 'Shuanger' before?"
Gu Beiyu didn't want to say any more, turned around and strode out of the listening courtyard. He didn't go anywhere, but went straight out of Prince Xian's mansion, and rode his horse and galloped towards the palace.
Concubine Tai Shu held a silver fork in her hand and was enjoying the chilled fruit.
Nanny Zhou came in and said, "Princess Taifei, His Royal Highness King Xian is asking to see you outside."
Concubine Taishu paused fork the fruit, "Let him in."
Not a moment after Nanny Zhou left, Gu Beiyu came in and saluted Concubine Tai Shu respectfully, "I have seen my concubine mother."
Concubine Tai Shu lowered her eyes, "Bei Yu, are you here for Shuang Shuang's business?"
Gu Beiyu nodded.
"That's a good girl." Concubine Tai Shu said, "You have to treat her well in the future."
Gu Beiyu frowned, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, I just want to know, did you arrange this Nie Shuangshuang, or did your grandmother instruct you to arrange it?"
The grandmother and Mrs. Jin Guogong did not get along, and the two had been fighting openly and secretly for many years because of Su Leyao's death. Gu Beiyu knew about these things.
Concubine Tai Shu's face darkened, "Beiyu, what do you mean, did you come all the way into the palace to question your mother and concubine?"
Gu Beiyu said: "There is no shortage of concubines in the son's house."
The implication is that he doesn't want Nie Shuangshuang to stay in Xian Wang's mansion.
Concubine Tai Shu was furious, and slapped the table heavily, "Presumptuous!"
Concubine Tai Shu has a gentle temperament, and she basically would not get angry like this, but this was the first time she got angry at Gu Beiyu.
Therefore, Gu Beiyu was taken aback by her.
"Don't think that Ai's family doesn't know. You drove away all the concubines as soon as Su Ying married into Prince Xian's mansion. Before Shuang Shuang came, there was only Su Ying in your mansion. Now you tell me that you don't lack concubines. ? One Su Ying can replace so many women?"
Gu Beiyu bit the bullet and said: "Mother, this son-in-law didn't mean that. It really happened too suddenly. After the son-in-law left the court, he suddenly found out that there was an extra woman in the house. This is simply..."
Concubine Tai Shu snorted coldly, "Don't try to use these excuses to fool the Ai family, both of you must stay in the Xian Wang's mansion to work for you, if you dare to treat her badly, it is tantamount to being dissatisfied with the Ai family, Then, if you have any dissatisfaction and want to get angry, just come to Aijia."
"Mother Concubine!" Gu Beiyu thumped and knelt on the ground, "I never thought of forcing you."
"You don't want Shuangshuang, aren't you forcing Ai's family?" Concubine Tai Shu gritted her teeth, tears glistening in her eyes, "Your father just left Ai's family behind, and now all hopes of Ai's family are pinned In you, only you are the motivation to support Aijia's survival. Aijia naturally hopes that you will have a full family of children and grandchildren in the future. Aijia will not care about you because of Su Ying driving out the concubine in the house, but You must accept Shuang Shuang, and give her the position of side concubine when she is pregnant."
Gu Beiyu looked troubled.
It's not that he hasn't touched other women, but after marrying Su Ying, he never thought of touching other women. One is to be responsible to Su Ying, and the other is because he doesn't want to disappoint cousin Jingse.
"Mother and concubine, don't force me." Gu Beiyu clenched his fingers tightly, and his voice was very deep.
"Forcing you?" Concubine Tai Shu suddenly smiled, "You said that Ai's family sent you a girl and asked her to work for you, are you forcing you?"
Gu Beiyu argued hard, "I already have a main concubine, so I don't want any side concubine."
Concubine Tai Shu said sharply: "If you are just a son of an ordinary family, then you don't want it, and the Ai family will not force you, but it is a pity, you are a prince, have you ever heard of any prince's house except the concubine? , let alone a side concubine, who doesn’t even have a concubine? Even the regent has to take a concubine, do you think you can escape?”
When Gu Beiyu heard about the Prince Regent taking a concubine, he thought it was very strange at the time, but thinking about it later, it was probably a response made by the Prince Regent in order to prevent the Empress Dowager from filling his house with women.
But I am different from the regent, he can ignore or even not touch the concubines that the regent takes, but he has to be forced to have both and let her be pregnant, this is completely different!
With his concubine and grandmother on one side, and Su Ying and Jing Se on the other, Gu Beiyu was caught in a difficult decision for the first time in his life.
"You have considered it before leaving Zhongcui Palace today." Concubine Tai Shu commanded condescendingly.
"Mother Concubine." Gu Beiyu had the last sliver of hope, "Didn't King Ning and Prince Yue only marry one wife, why can't my son follow their example?"
Concubine Tai Shu looked down coldly, "Did that woman Su Ying say something to you?"
"No." Gu Beiyu quickly shook his head in denial.
Between the lines, the concubine Mu clearly had extremely strong dissatisfaction and resentment towards Su Ying, and he couldn't drag Su Ying into the water anymore.
"No, that would be the best." Concubine Tai Shu snorted coldly, "Prince Ning and Prince Yue are kings with different surnames, you are a prince, how can they be compared with you?"
Gu Beiyu's heart sank.
Hard ones won't work, so Concubine Tai Shu had no choice but to be soft.
"Beiyu, Concubine Mu is already half-buried in the ground, and I only have this wish for you, can't you satisfy Concubine Mu?"
Gu Beiyu thought of the scene when his father passed away, his mother and concubine nearly collapsed, and couldn't get out of bed for several days. He was so panicked that he pinched his fingernails into his palms. meaning."
He didn't want to disappoint Su Ying, and he didn't want to disappoint Cousin Jingse, but he couldn't let his mother and concubine worry about it. In order to let him survive the imperial power struggle safely, the mother and concubine fought so much with the women in the harem. It took a lot of hardships to protect him under the wings and let him grow up safely. This is his biological mother!Parents with body, hair and skin, without mother and concubine, how could there be Gu Beiyu today?
Isn't it just a Nie Shuangshuang?
He just accepts it!
Finally hearing him let go, Concubine Tai Shu's brows relaxed, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, she walked down and helped Gu Beiyu up herself, "That's right, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why do you have to do it for a man? Women and concubines and your grandmother are having trouble, and we are doing it for your own good."
"Well, Erchen knows."
*
When we returned to Prince Xian's mansion, it was nearly dark.
Gu Beiyu sat down in the study.
The servant came in and asked if he wanted to pass on the meal, Gu Beiyu waved his hand, "No need, this king has no appetite."
He stood up and walked to the listening courtyard in a mysterious manner.
He wanted to go in and ask Su Ying to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
"Your Majesty, servant girl." Seeing Gu Beiyu, the maidservants hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed in unison.
This movement startled Su Ying in the room.
She was embroidering against the lamp, when she heard the sound, she opened the door and walked out, and she saw Gu Beiyu hesitating outside.
After saluting, Su Ying asked: "Has Your Highness eaten?"
Gu Beiyu didn't answer, "Can you let me in for a sit?"
"Your Highness, I dare not refuse." Su Ying bent her knees again and led Gu Beiyu into the second room.
When Gu Beiyu saw that she didn't let him into her room, he felt even more guilty. Su Ying must have noticed it, so there was a estrangement in his heart for him.
"Yinger." After serving the tea that Su Ying personally poured, Gu Beiyu took her hand, "Are you blaming me?"
Su Ying looked as usual, and asked with a smile, "What's your fault?"
When Gu Beiyu met her clear eyes, his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
If there is something, he has to say it.
"Nie Shuangshuang... she must stay."
Su Ying felt uncomfortable, but she didn't show anything unusual on her face, "I understand His Highness's embarrassment."
On the one hand is his biological mother, and on the other is her, the princess who has just married, but anyone with a little filial piety will choose the biological mother.
Therefore, Su Ying was not surprised to hear this answer.
"The concubine knows." Su Ying said: "His Highness will treat her well in the future. If she does not live well in the house, it will not be your highness, but the concubine. I understand your highness's embarrassment, please Put yourself in another place and understand the difficulties of the concubine."
If Nie Shuangshuang's life is not good, her mother-in-law will never criticize Gu Beiyu, but will push all the faults on her "jealous" daughter-in-law.
Instead of embarrassing your husband and yourself because of your own selfish desires, it is better to be more tolerant and let your husband accept that woman and everyone will be happy.
Seeing her like this, Gu Beiyu scolded himself in his heart for not being human.
Even though he failed to give her his heart, he originally wanted to promise her to be a couple for the rest of his life, but now he can't do it.
He felt like a jerk.
"Ying'er, why don't you beat me and scold me?" Gu Beiyu suddenly looked at her in a daze.
"You and I are a married couple." Su Ying said quietly: "It is said that the husband and wife are of the same mind. How can I not understand the difficulties of the husband? If you neglect both of us for the sake of the concubine, it will only make the mother and concubine feel cold. Although the concubine is not too much Great family management skills, but I also have a small wish, that is, our family can be more peaceful and peaceful, and don't make a mess because of trivial matters. This is not what I want to see, and I believe it is not His Highness and Mother Concubine wanted to see."
"But..." Gu Beiyu frowned.
He hoped that Su Ying would stop talking about this, he would rather she cry and be ignorant at this moment, maybe he would feel better.
"Your Highness, it's late at night." Su Ying reminded him, "Miss Nie has just entered the mansion, if you don't accompany her, it will be unreasonable."
Gu Beiyu gently took Su Ying's hand, raised her hand when Su Ying was unaware, and slapped her jade-white cheek with his strength.
That half of his face instantly turned red and swollen.
Su Ying was shocked, "Your Highness, you..."
She hurriedly got up to find ointment to apply to him, but Gu Beiyu grabbed her wrist, "I'm a beast, I'm not a human, I deserve this slap."
Seeing him like this, how could Su Ying feel any better? Tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Not daring to face her again, Gu Beiyu resolutely got up and left.
Seeing Gu Beiyu coming in, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she changed into a panicked look in an instant, and she sat up and shrank into a corner with her arms around her.
"Your Highness...you..."
Gu Beiyu stood on the screen with his hands behind his back, his face was hidden in the dark, he didn't look at her, and his voice was very calm: "I've been tired all day, go to bed earlier."
When you're done, turn around and leave.
Nie Shuangshuang was anxious, "Your Highness came to Fanghua Pavilion, just to say this to my concubine?"
Gu Beiyu never looked back, "You and I met for the first time, and I don't think there is much to talk about. This king is very busy, so let's go first."
Nie Shuangshuang suddenly had tears in her eyes, and tightly clenched the mattress with both hands, "Is there something wrong with Shuangshuang that made His Highness unhappy?"
Gu Beiyu sneered, "No, as a child-bearing tool, your performance is very good."
Nie Shuang's face froze.
Gu Beiyu didn't want to talk to this woman anymore, "This king's concubine is He Bingxing, no one knows better than this king, from now on, you'd better restrain yourself, otherwise, don't blame this king for being rude!"
"Your Highness!"
Looking at the back of Gu Beiyu who was resolutely preparing to leave, Nie Shuangshuang shouted, "Since the concubine was personally delivered to you by the concubine, how could she do something that would make His Highness sad? Those during the day, concubine What I say is the truth.”
Gu Beiyu pursed his lips coldly, "Well, liars will suffer a terrible death."
Nie Shuangshuang was shocked and stared at his back in disbelief.
This time, Gu Beiyu didn't stay any longer, and left Fanghua Pavilion directly. He had no face to see Su Ying, and went to sleep in the study.
In the listening courtyard, Shuang'er whispered: "Madam, the lights at Fanghua Pavilion have been turned off, you should rest earlier."
Hearing the word "lights off", Su Ying felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and her nose was so sour that tears welled up in her eyes.
Clearly knew that such a day would come, but it always came so fast that it was simply incompetent to accept.
Wiping away tears secretly, Su Ying lay down on the bed under Shuang'er's service.
That night, Su Ying suffered from insomnia.
But in fact, Gu Beiyu who was sleeping in the study was the one who suffered from insomnia.
On the second day, Gu Beiyu didn't go to court, he asked someone to enter the palace to ask for leave, and after washing up, he went directly to Chu Palace.
Jing Se and Fan Chen just woke up.
Fan Chen is still sending Jing Sewan.
Jing Se sat in front of the bronze mirror, yawning again and again, unable to open her eyelids.
"Still sleepy?" Fan Chen said with a smile: "You slept for a long time yesterday, you can't snooze any more today, you have to get up and walk, it's good for the baby."
Jing Se said angrily: "You probably made me lazy." When I was pregnant with Haohao before, why did I want to sleep all day like now?At that time, I was very energetic.
"So I don't plan to make you lazy anymore." Fan Chen gently helped her stand up, "The King Xian came to our house early in the morning, presumably there is something important, you have to go see him .”
"Bei Yu?" Jing Se looked surprised, "He hasn't come to our house for a long time, what's the wind here today?"
"I don't know." Fan Chen shook his head, "I don't want to worry about other people's affairs except you."
