Chapter 411 After the Loyal Servant Stopped Protecting His Master (7)
They all felt like they were dreaming.
Or there might be a problem with their ears.
The imperial concubine still wanted to act superior.
She had been fighting with the Empress her whole life, and she was always at a disadvantage. Now that she finally had the upper hand, she didn't want to produce Bai Ruofu's indenture so quickly. Instead, she wanted to whisper in the Emperor's ear.
Lady Lin'an Marquis persuaded her, saying, "Your Majesty, although you are favored, you have no children to rely on. In the future... you will still have to rely on Her Majesty the Empress for protection!"
"First of all, your previous battles were all verbal; you haven't harmed her. Now, it's not too late for you to show her goodwill..."
The imperial concubine was favored, but she had no children.
The empress had two sons, one was the crown prince, and the other was Prince Huan.
The emperor's health was deteriorating, and the crown prince had been overseeing the country for quite some time.
Lady Lin'an, the wife of the Consort, was the sister-in-law of the Imperial Consort and the only "sane" person in the Imperial Consort's faction.
The Imperial Concubine, the Marquis of Lin'an, and Gu Junyue are all single-minded.
The Imperial Concubine was foolish when she was young, but the Emperor always said, "The Imperial Concubine is foolish, but she is really beautiful."
As time goes by, the Imperial Concubine's youthful beauty has faded, and it's time for her to use her brain a little more.
Fortunately, although she was foolish, she listened to advice.
He thought about what the Lady of Lin'an Marquis had said carefully, but still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it too deeply.
Just listen to them.
And so, Bai Ruofu became the Emperor's chosen Princess Consort of Prince Huan.
After the couple held their wedding in the capital, they were able to travel to their fiefdom.
The emperor and empress always understood their son and knew what kind of character he was.
Once King Huan sets his mind on someone, he will never let go of them in this lifetime.
But if the other person isn't the one she's set her mind on, she wouldn't marry him even if it meant risking her life.
As Qi Yunshu grew older, the Emperor and Empress were originally very worried about his marriage.
Even if the girl he fancyed was a maid, they would still be willing to marry her...
Moreover, the Emperor and Empress had met Bai Ruofu and were very satisfied with her.
Although she was not as good as the noble ladies of the capital in terms of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and court etiquette, that was because the noble ladies had been exposed to the relevant education from a young age.
Given Bai Ruofu's experiences, the fact that she can still maintain her current mindset is enough to demonstrate her resilience.
Those things, it's okay.
In time, as long as she wants to learn, there will be plenty of people willing to teach her.
-
Before Bai Ruofu and Prince Huan got married, Prince Huan took Bai Ruofu back to the Su family for a visit.
The official explanation was that he was taking his future princess back to her homeland.
But after they left, Madam Su was discovered to be harboring an adulterer and was drowned in a pond.
When Lord Su learned that Madam Su had caused the death of Bai Ruofu's mother, he knew that Prince Huan Qi Yunshu's visit was to demand his stance once again.
Therefore, Madam Su not only had to die, but she had to die in a way that would be universally reviled.
Being "cuckolded" was a situation that Su Daren arranged for himself, so he could only swallow this bitter pill.
Although he has lost his wife and daughter, he still has nephews, nieces, and maternal nephews.
When he gets old, he'll be counting on them to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
Therefore, we cannot let Madam Su implicate the entire Su family!

Su Jinyue, a maid working as a lowly servant in the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion, learned of her mother's death, and in such a humiliating way, leaving her eyes vacant and her back pressed against a pillar...
Someone next to her asked, "Is your back itchy?"
Su Jinyue kept repeating three words: "I don't believe it..."
A moment later, she suddenly rushed outside, shouting the name of a servant from the Marquis's mansion: "Zhou Lingche! Zhou Lingche!!"
Zhou Lingche arrived quickly, looked at her with concern, and said, "What's wrong? Don't worry, tell me!"
