Prince Yong smiled when he heard this, but did not speak.

Su Youyi picked up the teacup, raised the corner of her eye, and saw his expression clearly.

It's not that she doesn't know that since Yuanzhi ascended the throne, Prince Yong has been much more low-key than before, and he has a bit of a taoguang and obscure meaning.

Prince Yong is only in his early thirties this year.

He is so young, and his status has become more noble after the death of the first emperor, which inevitably makes people suspect that he has some intentions for the throne and peeps into the power of the court.

The smartest thing to do is to avoid retreating, and he did it right.

The more this is the case, the more Su Youyi doesn't want such a talent to be buried, "Uncle Yongwang, in fact, this incident is not only out of my little appreciation for Concubine Green, but also for you." ”

Prince Yong smiled, "I know. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come to thank you. ”

Su Youyi knew that he was a transparent person, so she simply opened the skylight and said something bright, "Does Uncle Yongwang think that the mourning family is such a cautious and unreasonable person, or does he think that the emperor is such an unreasonable person?" ”

"Naturally not, the minister doesn't dare."

Su Youyi said: "If this is your sincere words, don't blindly avoid the world anymore." The new monarch has not yet been in power, it is the time to employ people, as the emperor's uncle, if you don't help him, who will help him? ”

Since the death of the first emperor, this is the first time that Su Youyi and Prince Yong have had a deep conversation.

Prince Yong listened to her words, and soon remembered that when she was a nobleman, she, the first emperor, and him, the three of them were always laughing and laughing when they talked together.

Su Youyi is still the same, and she doesn't put on the shelf of the queen mother.

If he is still cautious at this time, it will not be like a big husband, Prince Yong laughed heartily, "What the Queen Mother said is very true, but the new monarch has not been on the throne for a year, and I, the imperial uncle, still have to avoid suspicion." Now that the Queen Mother said so, I don't dare to avoid suspicion anymore. In the future, the Queen Mother has something to do, just ask it. ”

Su Youyi snorted lightly, "Uncle Wang, this is a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain again, how can I see that I have something to tell you to say this?" I'm just afraid that you'll suffer yourself. You don't even have a princess in your house, and now that there is no emperor to talk about life with you, how can it be good to hold back your illness? ”

"In the future, if you are free, you will often enter the palace, whether you come to Kunning Palace or Qianqing Palace. You are the emperor's uncle, and no one dares to stop you. ”

Having said that, Prince Yong has no worries at all.

He asked Su Youyi, "If that's the case, the minister has a reluctant request." Since the Queen Mother wants to let the green concubine and the first emperor be buried together, can she let the minister be the soul envoy? ”

The burial of the emperor is a grand ceremony, and the etiquette is cumbersome, among which the spiritual envoy is an important position, and according to the convention, it is customary to hold the position of a respected person in the royal family.

Su Youyi sighed lightly, "I know, you want to personally send the first emperor and the green concubine to the mausoleum." Anyway, although you are still young, you can win because of your seniority, let you be the soul supporter, presumably the ministers have no objections. ”

Prince Yong was overjoyed, "Thank you Queen Mother!" ”

……

Qin Tianjian chose the first day of the fifth month as an auspicious day and held a grand entrance ceremony in the imperial mausoleum.

Out of filial piety, Yuanzhi personally led hundreds of officials out of the palace, and Prince Yong was the envoy to help the spirit, and first guarded the coffin of the first emperor.

Su Youyi stayed in the palace according to the system.

The coffin of the first emperor entered the mausoleum, and the matter in her heart was also put down.

But the people in the harem had some complaints about Su Youyi's approach, not accusing her of doing anything wrong, on the contrary, they felt that she was too generous, so much so that they sacrificed their rights.

"The Queen Mother is also too good, the first emperor said before his death that he would be buried with the Queen Mother, how much honor is this? Now the Queen Mother casually let the Green Concubine and the first emperor be buried together, although there is still a place in the emperor's mausoleum, but no matter how you think about it, you feel that the Queen Mother is too much of a loss. ”

Concubine Yan was the first to fight for Su Youyi, and even the pure concubine who had always only remembered eating and drinking and didn't care about these vulgar rituals was also unprecedentedly upset for Su Youyi this time.

"Yes, my sister is too much of a loss. With my sister's current status in the harem of the previous dynasty, even better than the original partner of the first emperor, Empress Jiang, why should she be so wronged? ”

Empress Jiang was unable to be buried with the first emperor because she drove early, but she finally had her own separate mausoleum, and all the concubines would have to be her companion in the future a hundred years later.

Thinking about it this way, Su Youyi still has to be crowded with other concubines, which is really aggrieved.

Su Youyi was so worried by them, "You know that I don't believe in these mourning after death, what is there to fight for me?" Instead of fighting for those after death, it is better to honor and honor me more when you are alive. ”

Seeing that Concubine Yan and Concubine Chun were still dissatisfied, Su Youyi teased them, "It's better to be like this, anyway, burying one is also a burial." In the future, when the two of you are waiting for a hundred years, I will have you buried with the first emperor, so that our sisters can still be companions when they go underground, do you say? ”

Concubine Yan and Concubine Chun were stunned, and they didn't understand whether she was joking or true for a while.

After a long time, Concubine Yan reacted first, and was so angry that she almost hit her, "What nonsense, how can the mausoleum be so big and so many people can be buried together?" Obviously, she is the queen mother, and she makes us happy, hum. ”

Only then did the pure concubine react, it turned out that Su Youyi was joking.

Su Youyi hurriedly apologized to Concubine Yan, "Okay, okay, it's mine, it's not mine, my sister will spare me." It's a big deal, all the southern Xinjiang jadeites in my warehouse are for you to choose, how about it? ”

Concubine Yan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pulled the pure concubine towards the treasury in the apse, "Did you hear that?" The Queen Mother will take the tribute jade to make amends for our sins, don't do it in vain, go and pick a few good ones. ”

Concubine Chun only looked at Su Youyi, and Su Youyi smiled: "Go ahead." Originally, it was meant to be distributed to everyone, but since you came first, you will pick it first. ”

When the pure concubine heard this, she followed Concubine Yan towards the apse excitedly.

When the two of them went, the smile on Su Youyi's face gradually fell silent.

Chunhua walked up from behind, "Queen Mother, the slave maid can't figure it out, why did you easily push it out to others with such a big honor?" Do you really value the green princess so much? ”

"If you value it, I naturally value Concubine Yan and Concubine Chun more, as well as Concubine Wan, who died early."

Su Youyi said honestly, "If you talk about the grace to Prince Yong, it is not on this." As for why the green concubine and the first emperor were buried together......"

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Even I can't figure it out myself." ”

"Maybe sometimes, people don't have to think too much about the truth, as long as they know the trade-offs in their hearts. I thought so, and I did it, and there was no reason to do it. ”

Chunhua frowned slightly, looking at Su Youyi's side face in confusion, her delicate face was still the same as many years ago, and she was crowned with a harem.

I'm afraid that in the future, even if the new monarch takes a concubine, those young concubines may not be able to outperform the beauty of the queen mother.

But she always felt that this beauty was different from before, and there was a faint vicissitudes between her eyebrows, and-

Life and death are separated.
