Chapter 64 Xi Chuyu is embarrassed in public
Xi Chuyu was unwilling to accept that Xi Qingyan was the only one making a name for herself in Kyoto, so she agreed to go to the outskirts of Beijing with Xi Qingyan.
Before that, she returned to her small courtyard and made some preparations.
"Chu Yu, you are really too reckless today. Do you know that those gangsters that your mother is looking for are hiding in the dark, and they will swarm you when they see the Shangshu Mansion's carriage. If the time comes, you will also be injured by them.
Yes, what should I do?"
Mrs. Shangshu disagreed with her daughter going to the suburbs of Beijing to collect rent with Xi Qingyan.
Because this trip is really too dangerous.
"Mom, don't worry, I will be fine."
Mrs. Shangshu was extremely worried, but Xi Chuyu was full of confidence. She dug out a dagger from under her pillow and stuffed it into her arms.
"Those people are all my mother's people. Mother, you want them to kidnap Xi Qingyan. When we meet, I will show them the way. I will definitely make sure that Xi Qingyan never comes back this time!"
Xi Chuyu spoke confidently.
She couldn't bear for a moment that Xi Qingyan lived arrogantly in front of her!
She should obviously be the most talked-about eldest lady of the Xi family in the Minister of Rites' Mansion. Now, all her limelight has been stolen by that ugly Xi Qingyan. How could Xi Chuyu be willing to do so?
"But swords have no eyes. If those people don't care about everything and even you are injured, then mother and you will lose more than you gain!"
Mrs. Shangshu still felt that Xi Chuyu’s method was too risky.
"Chu Yu, listen to your mother, we won't go to the outskirts of Beijing. Don't worry, your mother has given many instructions to Qiuxiang. She will always follow Xi Qingyan's carriage, waiting for the opportunity to move!
"
Mrs. Shangshu only has a daughter, Xi Chuyu, and she is unwilling to watch her daughter take risks.
"Mother, there are actually other reasons why I chose to go with Xi Qingyan today!"
"Before, didn't I always ask the ladies in Kyoto about the palace banquet of the Qiqiao Festival? Although they didn't tell their daughter what happened during the Qiqiao Festival, they told her another important thing!"
"Mother, do you still remember that in the suburbs of Beijing, because His Majesty loved Concubine Dong Guifei very much, he specially built a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing in the style that Concubine Dong Guifei liked?"
When Mrs. Shangshu saw her daughter speaking seriously, she no longer blocked her blindly.
"The mother of that villa in the suburbs of Beijing remembers that although Concubine Dong is a noble concubine, she has a timid and hot constitution. Every summer, if she is bored in the palace, Concubine Dong will definitely be unwell. Your Majesty loves Concubine Dong because she loves Concubine Dong.
, so he built a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, which was specially reserved by His Majesty for Concubine Dong to escape the summer heat."
Everyone said that Concubine Dong Gui was the woman whom His Majesty cared about and loved the most.
Because His Majesty not only allowed Concubine Dong to choose from the rare things offered by various places, but also built an additional courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing for Concubine Dong outside the palace.
For this reason alone, other women in the harem cannot be compared with Dong Guifei.
"It's late autumn now, and Concubine Dong Guifei won't go to the Beijing Suburban Villa to escape the summer heat. Chu Yu, why did you mention the Beijing Suburban Villa for a long time?"
Mrs. Shangshu was confused.
"Mother, although I didn't find out what happened at the Qiqiao Festival that day, I did find out another piece of news."
Xi Chuyu looked around mysteriously to make sure that no one was listening to their conversation, and then she told what she had learned.
"Mother, in that villa on the outskirts of Beijing lives His Highness Su Yiting!"
"How did you know this news? Didn't His Highness Su Yiting say that he was grounded by His Majesty? Why are you in a courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing?"
Madam Shangshu looked surprised. She never expected that His Highness Su Yiting, who had heard that he was grounded, would be in the suburbs of Beijing!
"Chu Yu, are you sure everything you just said is true?"
"of course it's true!"
Xi Chuyu met Shangshufu
People didn't believe it and quickly proved the authenticity of the matter to their mother.
"Mother, we all know that His Highness Su Yiting has the closest relationship with the son of Mr. Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. The prince was once selected as the attendant of His Highness Su Yiting, so everyone knows that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is Su Yi.
His Highness Ting’s people.”
"A few days ago, I went to the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance to look for Mr. Wang's daughter, and then I found Mr. Wang taking his bow and arrows and getting ready to go out."
"My daughter asked because she was curious. The prince said that he was just going to the suburbs of Beijing to hunt and stay for a while!"
"Think about how unsafe the suburbs of Beijing are. Mr. Wang, a young master of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is still doing errands in the court. How come he has time to go hunting when he turns around? And he goes to the suburbs of Beijing?"
Xi Chuyu carefully speculated on the information she received, and finally came to her own conclusion.
"The only explanation for Prince Wang's abnormal behavior is that he did not go to the outskirts of the capital to relax, but went specifically to accompany His Highness Su Yiting!"
"Concubine Dong's villa on the outskirts of Beijing is very vast. In previous years, His Majesty also held hunting conferences there. In recent years, Your Majesty has canceled the hunting conferences because he has grown old."
"If His Highness Su Yiting is really in the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing as I guessed, then my daughter will have an opportunity to meet His Highness Su Yiting. He is a talented man and a beautiful woman. Maybe my daughter and I will be with that Su Yiting.
Good things are coming for His Highness Yi Ting!"
Xi Chuyu originally wanted to marry King Li Sulixiao, but unfortunately, she only wanted to marry the bright moon, but the bright moon shone in the ditch.
His Highness Prince Li did not have the slightest attraction towards her, Xi Chuyu.
Now that Xi Qingyan kept saying that His Highness Prince Li was full of praise for her, it would be even more impossible for His Highness Prince Li to make Xi Chuyu Princess Li.
"Mother, if His Highness Prince Li is really blind and chooses Xi Qingyan, my daughter will become the biggest laughing stock in the entire Kyoto!"
"I don't want to be the laughing stock of Kyoto, so I must find a better husband to marry me before Xi Qingyan!"
"Looking at the entire world, the only man who can be more outstanding than His Highness King Li is His Highness Su Yiting!"
"His Royal Highness Su Yiting is currently being grounded by His Majesty. He has rarely encountered ups and downs in his life. If I appeared at this time, I would bring comfort to His Highness Su Yiting's irritable and sad heart. I would accompany him through it.
The most difficult days, mother, am I very likely to become the princess of His Highness Su Yiting?" Kanshu La
As soon as Xi Chuyu finished speaking, Mrs. Shangshu's eyebrows were filled with relief.
"Chu Yu, you have indeed grown up. Your mother's teachings for so many years have not been in vain. You finally have a long-term perspective!"
"Okay, now that you have inquired about the matter clearly, mother will no longer stop you. Today, you can dress beautifully and go to the suburbs of Beijing. Mother is waiting for my daughter to become the princess of His Highness Su Yiting!"
Mrs. Shangshu saw that Xi Chuyu was not acting on a whim, so she no longer stopped her.
"Mom, you finally praised me!"
It was rare for Xi Chuyu to see her mother praising her, and she felt happy. She seemed to have seen herself becoming a princess.
"Then my daughter should listen to her mother. Your Highness Su Yiting likes her daughter to wear delicate pink clothes the most. My daughter will wear this dress!"
Inside the Peony Garden.
Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu spent a long time picking and dressing themselves up, and then they showed up.
Xi Qingyan went into battle lightly and waited at the door for a long time.
When she saw Xi Chuyu's pink and exaggerated outfit, she almost laughed out loud.
"Sister, we are going to the suburbs of Beijing today to collect rent. Don't talk about collecting rent if you are dressed like this. I'm afraid it will be difficult to even travel."
"I see that you are dressed as if you are not going to do something, but as if you are going to attend a palace banquet? Is it possible that you want to compare with the beauty of those tenants who are wearing plain clothes?"
Xi Qingyan deliberately teased Xi Chuyu.
"What do you care about me? Xi Qingyan, I can wear my own clothes however I like!"
Xi Qingyan’s words made
Xi Chuyu was very unhappy, so she directly shouted back.
"I am the legitimate daughter of the Chancellor's Mansion. Naturally, I should be dignified and graceful when going out. How can you, an ugly, disfigured person, understand the meaning of every move of us, who are as beautiful as gods?"
Xi Chuyu scolded Xi Qingyan, and then when she got on the carriage, it was very difficult for her to get on the carriage even with her long skirt. Xi Qingyan looked at Xi Chuyu's clumsy body and couldn't help laughing.
The servants waiting on the side watched the second lady making a fool of herself in public. They couldn't hold back their laughter at first, but finally couldn't hold it back.
"Why are you all laughing here? Why don't you come and help me quickly? You are my servants in the Shangshu Mansion. If you don't serve me well as your master, you will reap the rewards!"
Seeing everyone laughing at her, Xi Chuyu scolded her angrily.
"Qiuxiang, come here!"
"Hold up your skirt for me. If the hem of the skirt is stained with dust, I will definitely kill you!"
"Yes, Miss Second!"
When Qiu Xiang saw Xi Chuyu calling her, she subconsciously stepped forward to help.
She is the wife of the Minister. If she watches the second young lady being wronged in public and refuses to help, the lady will definitely not let her off lightly in the future!
"Xi Chuyu, you are very smooth with the girl in my yard. I have never been so smooth with Qiuxiang. I didn't expect you to remember her clearly?"
Xi Qingyan saw Qiu Xiang going to help without thinking, so she said it deliberately.
"Miss...Miss, Miss!"
When Qiuxiang heard what the eldest lady said, she quickly stopped, and everyone else became visibly panicked.
"Miss, this servant used to serve in the second miss's yard. Second miss...Second miss may have been used to using slaves in the past, so that's why she is like this..."
Qiuxiang tried hard to put what had just happened into perspective.
Xi Chuyu also suddenly became a little strange.
"Qiuxiang, I think you and the second lady are suitable. I never like to take advantage of others. Since the second lady likes you, you can go to the second lady's garden to serve you from now on."
"Miss!"
When Qiu Xiang heard that Xi Qingyan wanted to drive her away, she quickly begged for mercy.
"Miss, it doesn't matter who Qiuxiang belonged to in the past. What's important is that Qiuxiang will be the eldest lady's person from now on. Now that Qiuxiang is in Hanlian Garden, then I will be the eldest lady's person from now on!"
Madam originally sent many confidants to Hanyuan, but those people were dismissed one by one by the eldest lady. Now she is the only undercover agent still in Hanyuan.
Qiuxiang is now highly regarded by the second young lady and Madam Shangshu. If she is kicked out of Hanliyuan by the eldest lady at this time, she will have no way to explain to Madam!
"Xi Qingyan, do you think I am a rag picker? Let me tell you, now that Qiuxiang has entered your Hanli Garden, I will no longer care about her!"
Xi Chuyu calmed down and spoke deliberately.
