It was decided that when the summer passed, Su Youyi would return to the palace and expand the place.

The eldest princess was interested, saying that she had learned painting from the painter in the palace for a few days, and wanted to draw a drawing of the expansion for Su Youyi, and Su Youyi also went with her.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, two noisy people, heard that the Grand Duke was mainly planning expansion, so they also rushed up and said that they wanted to build the best house for themselves.

Yes, one for the little six, one for the little seven, and the eldest princess must have another one.

Every child needs a house of their own, and no matter how big it is, it won't fit it.

Su Youyi didn't pay attention to it, let them get it, anyway, we have to wait until this summer is over, and then there will be something to change.

Because Su Youyi went to the Imperial Garden, the women and dependents of the court were busy again.

In the past, Su Youyi was in the palace, and she was a high-grade wife who was qualified to enter the palace to ask for a meeting, and it was not good to go again and again, and it was troublesome and gossipy.

Now it's different when you go to the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Garden is more convenient than in the palace, so those women are busy sending stickers to ask to see.

Su Youyi only heard it and didn't take it seriously, and when the posts were sent in and put in front of her, she felt terrible.

"So much?"

This is the life of the Manchu Dynasty to deliver the post, right?

Chunhua said: "These are the wives of the third-grade and above, and those low-grade slaves and maids have not been brought yet, the Queen Mother thinks about how many there should be." ”

"That's an exaggeration."

Su Youyi thought about it, she didn't know what these women were doing, she suddenly thought of something, and asked Chunhua, "Isn't it that they fell in love with our third prince and wanted to set a family affair for him, so they came to tie up?" ”

Chunhua sneered, "Queen Mother, even the emperor and the second prince will have to be married in two years, how can the third prince be so early?" By the way, the third prince is shouting that the mansion that will be given to him in the future has been repaired, and he wants to invite the queen mother to enjoy it. ”

Su Youyi was even more puzzled, "It's not the third prince, could it be those small ideas?" That's even worse! ”

She was also caught up in this matter, and always thought that those women had come to beg her prince.

I don't want to think about it, even if those women want to, where do they dare to ask?

The prince of the former emperor and the current prince, who can ask for it?

Chunhua then said: "The slave maid listened to some words outside and told the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother may understand." ”

"What?"

Chunhua smiled quietly: "It is said that this time the government and China are rectifying corruption, and the Queen Mother is the first to make a decisive decision." also said that the queen mother would rather cut off her arm to protect the country, and she admired it outside, the slave maid thought, maybe because of this, so these women were even more in a hurry. ”

Su Youyi was a little surprised.

It's not that I'm surprised how the people outside the scenes know about this matter, after all, she can rank above the third rank in the court, so she naturally knows the current operation of the imperial court.

Yuanzhi is not in power yet, no matter what idea he takes, it is actually through Su Youyi's nod.

It was not surprising that those people blamed her for this.

But what is there to worry about in this matter?

Su Youyi thought for a moment, "Rectifying corruption in the DPRK and China has always been the most thankless task. Although the biggest fish this time is Su Qing, a relative force, it also implicates many ministers in the DPRK and China. It's when everyone is in danger and scolding me behind my back, why are they rushing to slap me? ”

Chunhua won't answer this, "I want to come...... Are you afraid of the Queen Mother? ”

Su Youyi disagreed.

If she was afraid, these people would not have rushed to slap her.

Su Youyi flipped through those famous posts, picked a few important ones with noble status, and asked Chunhua to invite them to meet.

Everyone sat down casually in the pavilion by the lake, as if ordinary women were drinking tea, and those women were a little uneasy, with embarrassed smiles, "The Queen Mother has tormented us, let us sit with the Queen Mother." ”

"It's okay, this is outside the palace, so you don't have to be too formal."

Su Youyi smiled and waved her hand, and Chunhua moved the dim sum on the table towards the women, motioning for them to use it, "Ladies, please try it, these are snacks made with flowers and plants produced in the Imperial Garden." For example, this rose cake and this lotus pod balls are all liked by the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother likes it, and that's naturally a good thing.

The women of life tasted each of them, and their faces bloomed.

No matter whether it is delicious or not, it is the face of the Queen Mother, and this face is rare, and they are naturally happy.

Su Youyi slowly got to the point, "There is something I don't understand in the mourning family, so I just want to ask a few ladies." Several ladies often go to the palace to talk to the mourning family, and the mourning family knows that you are all honest people, don't hide it from me. ”

Those ladies should be, of course.

Su Youyi said: "The mourning family came to the Imperial Garden to escape the summer, and it has only been two days, and the posts received have been piled up. It is common for you ladies to mourn the family, and it is normal to send a post to say goodbye. But some ladies have never seen the mourning family a few times, why do they suddenly remember to ask to see the mourning family? ”

It turned out that this was the question.

Su Youyi picked them up in her words, and it became a matter of asking others, since it was someone else's business, they didn't dare to say anything.

Mrs. Gu Hou said, "Doesn't the Queen Mother know yet?" In fact, it's a little embarrassing to say, those ladies are in a hurry to ask to see, and to be honest, they are here to ask for sin. ”

"Please?"

Su Youyi didn't understand this even more.

Mrs. Gu Hou was a little embarrassed, "I heard that there are two Song family brothers around the Queen Mother, one has been killed, and the other has been demoted back to his hometown and is not allowed to participate in the scientific examination, and even their father has been taken away, is this so?" ”

"That's true."

Mrs. Gu Hou hurriedly said: "That's for this!" In the past, outsiders said that the two of them were the faces of the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother was young and widowed, there were such people around her...... And not surprisingly. But some old-fashioned people have some whispers in their hearts. ”

"After this incident, every house has heard about it! It turned out that the Queen Mother kept the two of them by her side just to collect evidence of Su Qing's crimes, and these two people were never the faces of the Queen Mother. No, those who misunderstood the Queen Mother before will be guilty of it! ”

Su Youyi couldn't cry or laugh.

What should she have done, it turned out to be because of this.

Who sent this out? The mourning family has never been passed on, isn't it you-"

She turned her head to look at Chunhua, Chunjing and the others, and the two of them hurriedly shook their heads, "It's not the slaves and maids, the Queen Mother didn't order, how dare the slaves and maids say it?" Although the slaves and maids have long been upset about the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is not allowed to say it, so we naturally don't dare. ”

Rather, they have always been faithful.

Mrs. Gu Hou also waved her hand and said, "It's not from the harem, it's from the previous dynasty." What the emperor said in the court, Su Ge Lao also said so, and even Prince Yong said so, isn't this conclusive! ”
