After Jiang Sheng returned to Da Xiao, he heard three gossip about the royal family.

One: The prince was abolished for murdering a minister, the uncle of the country was dismissed, and the queen was given dove wine for her inability to teach her son.

After getting the emperor's oral order, the crown princess left the capital with the little princess who was not yet one year old.

Two: The eldest daughter of Li Taibao's family, the one who was named princess at birth, is actually the emperor's own daughter.

The statement given by the royal family is that when the princess was born, Gao Ren said that she was weak, and she was afraid that she would not be able to bear the blessings of the palace wall, so she was fostered in the courtier's house.

But anyone with eyes can see how much the princess of Changning looks like Mrs. Li, and the reason for this is not for outsiders to understand.

Three: The emperor's health has gradually deteriorated since the winter of last year. At this time, the deposed prince has been imprisoned in the prince's mansion and cannot go out for life. The courtiers have different thoughts, and there are many people standing in line.

Of course, the third is not gossip.

The real gossip is...

Jiang Sheng squinted at him: "The emperor has so many children living outside."

"My mother..." Jiang Yan smiled, "Her surname is Su, and she is from Pinghang County, Jiangzhou."

"I met her more than 20 years ago when the emperor went to the south, her parents were dead, and she had nothing to worry about. She fell in love with the emperor and followed him to the capital..."

At that time, Su Yirong guessed that the other party was either rich or noble, but he never expected that he was the most 'expensive' person in the world.

The emperor took her back to the palace, waiting for her to ask her identity in surprise.

Seeing the high palace walls and magnificent palace, how could Su Yirong not understand?

All of a sudden, I felt my heart sinking.

Su Yirong just wanted to choose an ordinary husband and son-in-law to grow old forever. Even though she knew that the other party was a son of a wealthy family, she still wanted to at least have respect and understanding, so she did not hesitate to leave her homeland and come to the capital with longing for love.

It seems that as long as they love each other, all problems will be solved.

And the emperor's status, as well as the beauties in the harem who look like gods, let her temporarily recover her mind dazzled by love.

The emperor said that he would make her Concubine Shu.

How much honor is it to give the high position of one of the four concubines to a businesswoman?
The emperor also said that he didn't want to settle the matter with an imperial decree, and wanted to give her a grand canonization ceremony, and let people build the "Shuyi Palace", and temporarily wronged her to live in the Qingping Palace.

Su Yirong only felt terrified.

But up to this point, she still lived in the palace with love.

There are many rules in the palace, and she doesn't understand anything, so the queen sent a nanny to teach her etiquette.

Can't talk when eating, can only eat half full; can't talk when sleeping, can only lie down when sleeping, and can't do any other movements;
You can't show your teeth when you smile, and you can't turn your back when you walk. If you make a mistake, you can hit with a long board... and you can beat people very skillfully, which can make you hurt without leaving traces;
And in the winter, with a bowl filled with ice water on top of your head, if you are not careful, you will be doused in the biting coolness.

No matter how low the family background of the other concubines in the palace is, they are still the daughters of the county magistrate, not to mention the daughters of high-ranking officials. They all look down on her, sarcasm in their words, and there is something in their words, intrigues.

The emperor naturally wouldn't care about this.

He brought Su Yirong to the palace, gave her gorgeous clothes, exquisite meals, and sent someone to take care of her daily life, he felt that it was a great honor and favor.

What really made Su Yirong make up his mind was that on the night of the fifteenth day, the emperor stayed in the queen's palace.

It was her birthday that day, and she put on new clothes full of joy, but she waited and waited but did not get the emperor.

The mother of ceremonies saw her thoughts and was a little disdainful: "The girl is waiting for Your Majesty?"

She hid the knife in her smile, and her tone concealed her complacency: "Today is the fifteenth day. According to the usual practice, Your Majesty will rest in the Queen's Palace."

At that moment, Su Yirong suddenly realized

— Concubine Shu, to put it nicely, she is just a noble concubine.

She only lived in the beautiful palace like a painting because of the emperor's favor for a while. There were many servants and servants around her, but none of them really treated her as a master.

What's more, I don't have a strong natal family to rely on compared to other concubines. The emperor can praise her high today, but if she is rejected in the future, in this man-eating deep palace, she can only end up wrapped in a straw mat.
