Su Qingyu lifted up her skirt, stood up and stepped forward.

When he walked up to Concubine Rong and was about to salute, Concubine Rong interrupted him.

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

Su Qingyu sat down next to Concubine Rong, her expression respectful and calm.

"How have you been getting along with Elder Shen these days since we got married? Although he is a serious person, he is an upright person. Marrying him is a good choice."

Concubine Rong and Su Qingyu didn't have any airs when talking to each other, and they looked like ordinary wives making house calls.

But Concubine Rong could ask casually, but Su Qingyu didn't dare to answer casually. The people in this palace have eight hundred thoughts. Who knows which sentence dug a hole for her and Shen Zhixiu.

"What the empress said is that the third master is indeed of good character." Su Qingyu replied in a gentle tone.

Concubine Rong added: "These days, even King Cheng is full of praise for Mr. Shen Ge. He said that he only knew what the overall situation is after asking Mr. Shen Ge about some things. These days, he has benefited a lot."

Su Qingyu suddenly remembered the dispute between the prince and the king that Shen Zhixiu had mentioned a few days ago, and knew that Concubine Rong was trying to win over the Shen family.

She didn't dare to be careless when she spoke, and replied: "His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is so complimentary. The third master often said that eating the emperor's salary means being loyal to the emperor."

The implication is that the Shen family is loyal to the emperor.

No matter how you preach this kind of thing, it won’t be wrong.

Concubine Rong originally thought that Su Qingyu would be the best way to get closer to the Shen family. But after chatting for a long time, Su Qingyu advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and every word she said was impeccable.

Suddenly, a chamberlain shouted: "The Concubine Xian is here."

As if she didn't hear it, Concubine Rong pulled out a luxurious phoenix hairpin from her head and wanted to insert it into Su Qingyu herself.

"Your Majesty, I am frightened by such a valuable reward." Su Qingyu said hurriedly.

At this time, everyone else present was kneeling on the ground to greet Concubine Xian. Only Su Qingyu and Concubine Rong were sitting opposite each other.

I heard Concubine Rong say: "I fell in love with you at first sight today. This phoenix hairpin was a gift from the late Queen. I give it to you today because of the love between us."

Su Qingyu couldn't refuse, so she could only let Concubine Rong insert the hairpin for her, and knelt down to thank her.

She knew in her heart that Concubine Rong was doing this for Concubine Xian. The purpose is to drive a wedge between the prince and the Shen family.

But what Concubine Rong didn't know was that there was no need to alienate the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Shen family, as the rift had already appeared.

When Concubine Xian called everyone up, Su Qingyu saluted Concubine Xian again.

Concubine Xian sat down next to Concubine Rong and said calmly: "Mrs. Shen San, please get up." Then she looked at the phoenix hairpin on Su Qingyu's head, "This is the relic of the late queen, Mrs. Shen San must be careful when wearing it. If someone bumps into someone, it is a crime of disrespect."

Concubine Rong laughed sarcastically, "Sister said this as if I wanted to harm Mrs. Shen San."

Song Wanwan, who was sitting below, suddenly said: "Although this phoenix hairpin is a relic of my aunt, it was not given by the emperor in the palace. Even if Mrs. Shen San accidentally breaks it, my aunt Izumi knows better and will not blame her."

"It's not a crime of disrespect."

Concubine Xian was talking, but Song Wanwan was the only one who dared to interrupt like this. Su Qingyu felt relieved when she saw that no one else present looked surprised. It seems that the rumors outside that Concubine Xian and the Marquis of Zhongyi are at odds are true.

Back then, the late queen was pregnant with a dragon seed, but a fire broke out in the Fenghe Palace. The late queen was buried in the flames, killing one and two others.

In the second year after the late Queen's death, Concubine Xian took over the gold book and seal of the Queen in the Middle Palace, and the second prince born by Concubine Xian was also established as the crown prince.

But more than ten years later, the position of Empress has remained vacant. The Emperor still favors the Loyalty Marquisate, and the Loyalty Marquisate has always been rude to the Concubine Xian and the Crown Prince.

Concubine Xian felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Song Wanwan said, but she just glanced at Song Wanwan with a smile in her eyes, "You girl, you are facing Mrs. Shen San. I just said casually, you don't need to be nervous."

Then he looked at Su Qingyu with a smile and said, "Sit down quickly."

Seeing this, Su Qingyu bowed, bowed and returned to her seat.

As soon as Concubine Xian arrived, everyone present was much more reserved than before.

Su Qingyu asked Shen Yue in a low voice, "Is Miss Song often like this? Does Concubine Xian not get angry?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Shen Yue lowered her voice and replied: "Not only Miss Song, but also Mrs. Zhongyi Hou has a bad attitude towards the Concubine Xian."

"I heard that Concubine Xian made trouble twice and wanted to punish the Song family, but in the end she suffered the consequences. So she put up with it later. No matter what the people in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion said, she was not angry or angry."

Shen Yue's words aroused Su Qingyu's curiosity.

The Xian Concubine’s status in the palace is no worse than that of the Queen of the Middle Palace. Can she really tolerate such a provocation from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion?

However, the royal family has many secrets and dirty things. What they saw was only the surface. I am afraid that only Concubine Xian and the Marquis of Zhongyi knew what was going on.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Xian had a conversation, and everyone had finished their lotus seed soup. On such occasions, young ladies and gentlemen who perform performances are naturally indispensable.

There are those who play the piano, the flute, and those who recite poetry and paint.

These have nothing to do with Su Qingyu. With her status, no one will let her perform.

The little princess of Prince Zhao's Mansion finished playing the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and everyone present cheered along with her.

Concubine Rong gave her a set of headgear and looked at Su Qingyu, "Last time on the Emperor's Longevity Festival, I was caught in the cold and could not go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I heard that Miss Su's song moved the capital. I will definitely do it if I have the chance. I want to hear you play another song with my own ears."

Su Qingyu stood up and said with a smile: "My Majesty, I praise you. All the ladies play well. Princess Chaoyun's music was even awarded by the emperor. I dare not take credit for it."

Concubine Rong nodded and said, "I have also heard that the emperor gave Jiaowei to Princess Chaoyun."

Speaking of this, Concubine Rong turned to Concubine Xian and asked, "Sister is also proficient in music. Why didn't the Emperor give the Jiaowei reward to my sister?"

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Sister, I don't know something. I can't get used to Jiaowei. The emperor wanted to give it to me, but I refused."

He sighed again, "If there is a good piano in the world, it must be Luqi."

When Shen Ying heard this, she rolled her eyes and blurted out: "Green Qi? That Qin was given to my third aunt by my third uncle."

"If the Concubine Xian likes it, my third aunt will bear the pain and give it to you."

Shen Ying had always wanted the famous Luqi Qin in Shen Zhixiu's storeroom. She asked Shen Zhixiu twice, but Shen Zhixiu refused to give it to her. Later, she heard that he gave it to Su Qingyu. At this time, Shen Ying didn't think about anything else, but only thought that if she couldn't get it, Su Qingyu couldn't get it either.

Su Qingyu glanced at Shen Ying with her lowered eyes, thinking that there was probably no one more stupid than Shen Ying among the younger members of the Shen family.

When Shen Ying said these words, she was in a dilemma. If the concubine Xian offered Luqi, she would not say anything, but she would think in her heart why she didn't give it earlier? After all, everyone in the court knew that the Concubine Xian loved music and famous pianos.

Moreover, Su Qingyu was not willing to offer Lu Qi like this. I didn't get the benefit of the doubt, so I went in with Qin in vain.

But if you don't give it, you have to think of a reason, and it has to be a reason that the concubine Xian can't refute.

When Su Qingyu looked up again, she was already smiling sweetly.

"It turns out that Concubine Xian also loves music. Since you like it, I should part ways with you."

"It's just... I can't give that piano to my empress."

Su Qingyu's next explanation made Concubine Xian blush.
