Strange love across time and space

After the morning court the next day, Su Qixuan was invited by the emperor to the imperial study. Su Qixuan saluted, and the emperor said with a smile.

"Su Aiqing, I heard that your wife's maiden family is the Jiang family in Fuyang?"

Su Qixuan was wondering, how could the emperor ask about his family affairs so well? But still answered respectfully

"Back to the emperor, Wei Chen's Yue family is indeed in Fuyang."

"Well, there is a concubine named Jiang Mei in Prince Rui's house. Is she your wife's niece?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that there was some misunderstanding between the Su family and the Jiang family, which resulted in them no longer communicating with each other. Is this possible?"

"Back to the emperor, the misunderstanding between the Su family and the Jiang family is not as simple as this, but..."

Before Su Qixuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't be involved in your household affairs, but now that Jiang Mei is pregnant with the royal heir, I have to inquire more. If a family has any deep hatred, it will be fine if they just step back. It would be too much to cut off the relationship. Seriously, if Jiang Mei did anything wrong, when she gives birth to the child, I can ask her to go to the Su family to apologize to you. As elders, can you and your wife be as knowledgeable as the younger generation? Su Aiqing, what I said Right?"

Su Qixuan felt miserable. Dare he say that what the emperor said was wrong? He had no choice but to nod in embarrassment. The emperor saw that he had a good attitude and said

"That's right. You go back and advise your wife not to argue with the younger generation. Now that Jiang Mei is three months pregnant and it's not convenient to go out, let your wife take Ning An to visit her. After a while, Jiang Mei will be happy when she sees her aunt and cousin coming to see her. The misunderstanding is resolved, her mood will be better, and it will also be good for the fetus in her belly."

Su Qixuan felt helpless. The Emotional Emperor said all this for the sake of his unborn grandson. But it was hard to disobey the emperor's order, so he nodded in agreement and left the palace.

Back at the Su Mansion, Su Qixuan told Jiang and Su Qing what the emperor meant. Jiang was so angry that she slapped the table, but did not dare to scold the emperor. Su Qing comforted her.

"Mom, the emperor has said so. Let's go to Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow to see our cousin. It's just a formality to show respect to the emperor."

Mrs. Jiang sighed and patted Su Qing's hand, "Qingqing, Mom, I'm sorry for you. Having such a relative has caused such great losses to the soap workshop that you have worked so hard to run."

"Mom, it makes my daughter feel uncomfortable when you say that, but it's just something external. My daughter will definitely come up with more ways to make money in the future."

Mrs. Jiang nodded and ordered Nanny Lin to prepare some gifts to go to Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jiang and Su Qing took a carriage to Prince Rui's Mansion. After getting off the carriage, Nanny Lin stepped forward and handed over the greeting card. The janitor took the post and saw that it was the Su Mansion, and immediately trotted away. When they went in, they announced that Prince Rui was not in the palace. According to the rules, the servant had to deliver the greeting card to Princess Rui first.

At this time, Princess Rui Xiao Yuhan was taking a leisurely walk in the garden of the palace. When she heard the servant saying that the Su family was coming, Su Qing's face immediately appeared in front of her eyes. The hatred in Xiao Yuhan's heart welled up again. She originally wanted to let people take her away. They drove away, but when they thought of the child in Jiang Mei's belly, they immediately came up with a plan and asked the servant to invite Jiang and Su Qing into the house.

The janitor led Jiang and Su Qing to the flower hall in the front yard, and saw Xiao Yuhan approaching with a smile. Jiang and Su Qing bowed to Xiao Yuhan, and Xiao Yuhan asked them to sit down. As soon as he sat down, Su Qing said

"Princess Rui, my mother and I mainly want to visit my cousin Jiang Mei this time. She is now three months pregnant. Is it convenient?"

"Convenient, of course it is convenient." Xiao Yuhan said with a smile, "The cousin of the Ning'an County Lord is very favored in Prince Rui's Mansion. She was pregnant with a child before she even entered the Prince's Mansion. Alas, to be honest, the maid in the mansion Zidu secretly doubted whether this child belonged to the prince. Huh? Mrs. Su, is the Jiang family's tutor always like this?" Xiao Yuhan looked at Jiang and Su Qing and said with a strange expression.

I have to say that Xiao Yuhan's mouth is really vicious. In a few words, he cursed both the Jiang family and the Su family with insinuations. How could Jiang and Su Qing not hear it? However, they came here purely for a formality, and because Xiao Yuhan was the princess, they could not confront her head-on, so Jiang could only change the subject.

"Since it's convenient, can Princess Rui ask a servant to take us there?"

Seeing that they didn't answer his words, Xiao Yuhan thought they were scared, so she became even more proud.

"There is no need for servants to take you. I, the princess, will take you there myself."

After saying that, he stood up. Jiang and Su Qing also stood up immediately and followed Xiao Yuhan to Jiang Mei's yard.

When Jiang Mei first entered the palace, she was pregnant, so the courtyard prepared for her by King Rui was quite good, spacious and gorgeous. Jiang Mei was very satisfied. At this moment, she was embroidering a small bellyband, which she saw was for herself. It is used for unborn children. At this time, Dong'er, the personal maid, came in and bowed.

"Aunt Mei, the princess has brought Mrs. Su and the Ning'an County Lord to see you."

Jiang Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard Dong'er's words, then remembered that Jiang was talking about her aunt, and immediately became more energetic, because King Rui had told her a few days ago that he wanted to make her a concubine after she gave birth to the child. Concubine, but after asking people from the Ministry of Etiquette, they found out that based on Jiang Mei's background as a merchant, even if she gave birth to the eldest son, she could not be named a side concubine. At most, she would be regarded as a concubine. Jiang Mei was anxious and thought of the Su family. If Jiang The Su family and the Su family had rekindled their old friendship. With Su Qixuan's second-grade official position and Su Qing's status as the head of Ning'an County, she had the opportunity to be named a concubine. Jiang Mei told King Rui about her thoughts, and King Rui immediately agreed to go with her. The emperor mentioned this matter. After all, Jiang Mei was carrying the emperor's eldest grandson. Even if the emperor didn't look at Jiang Mei, he would do this for the sake of his eldest grandson's face. Now it seems that the emperor indeed told the Su family about this matter. Jiang and Su Qing came to Prince Rui's Mansion today to reconcile with her. Thinking of this, Jiang Mei immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and went out.

As soon as she went out, she saw Jiang and Su Qing behind Xiao Yuhan. They also saw Jiang Mei. Su Qing couldn't help but think, it seems that Xiao Yuhan was right. Jiang Mei was really doing well in Prince Rui's Mansion. After a month, Jiang Mei's skin became fairer and a little fatter. However, it is normal for a pregnant woman to be a little fatter. Looking at the courtyard where Jiang Mei lived, Su Qing knew that King Rui valued the child in Jiang Mei's belly very much.

"Aunt! Cousin! You are here to see me!" Jiang Mei stepped forward to hold Jiang's hand with a smile on her face. She was so excited that she even forgot to salute Xiao Yuhan.

Xiao Yuhan felt unhappy and coughed slightly. Only then did Jiang Mei react and quickly let go of Jiang's hand and leaned down to salute Xiao Yuhan.

"I met the princess just now. I haven't seen my aunt and cousin for a long time. I was so excited that I forgot my etiquette. Please forgive me, princess."

Xiao Yuhan snorted coldly, "Of course I want to forgive you. You are a pregnant woman now. The prince values ​​you so much. Your current status in the palace makes even me, the princess, feel ashamed!"

"The princess said something serious, I'm scared!" Xiao Yuhan lowered her head.

"Okay, stop being pretentious. What you say will only work for the prince. This princess is here to send Mrs. Su and Ning'an County Lord. You haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a good talk. I'll let the kitchen Prepare a few more dishes, and at noon, Mrs. Su and Ning'an County Lord will stay for lunch." After Xiao Yuhan finished speaking, she took the others away without waiting for Su Qing and Jiang to refuse.
