The wife of the female Zun Kuaichuan is a doting maniac

After pondering for a long time, Hu Ziqiu said, "I will stay in the inn for the next two days and not go out. Let's see what Jing Chen can do next!"

She sent Si Jingchen to the study of the Prime Minister's residence to steal the list of officials from the Eastern Ling Kingdom, as well as some important letters.

If Si Jingchen can really get his hands on it, they will have leverage over the entire court, and then she can easily turn a few of them against her.

As for the defense map, it should be in Prince Yong's residence.

Si Jingchen probably doesn't have the ability to enter the Yongqin Prince's Mansion yet.

"Has the person I asked you to arrange been sent to Jingchen's side?"

"Yes, Hu Qi and Hu Jiu went there personally, using the aliases Gu Xing and Gu Yue."

"I trust the two of them to handle things."

Hu Qi and Hu Jiu are the two most capable male bodyguards around Hu Ziqiu, and they are usually responsible for things that are difficult for women to handle.

With the two of them working together, Si Jingchen will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

After hesitating for two days, Su Qiruo finally decided to tell Si Qianling her speculation first.

She was worried that the third princess of the Xihu Kingdom might take advantage of Si Qianling's lack of knowledge to frame him. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it was always good to be on guard.

When Si Qianling first heard the news about his background, he was not as excited as Su Qiruo had imagined. He just sat quietly, his hands still moving.

Su Qiruo's gaze was also drawn to the glittering gold thread in Si Qianling's hand. The gold thread was embroidered on the black brocade robe, exuding wealth and luxury.

After sewing the last stitch and cutting the gold thread, Si Qianling stood up and came to Su Qiruo.

"Try it on and see if it fits."

Su Qiruo obediently stood up, letting Si Qianling gesture as he pleased.

"Beautiful." Si Qianling's lips curled slightly as she glanced at the small roll of gold thread that remained.
"Let me embroider two little phoenixes for you here on the hem!"

The Eastern Ling Kingdom has a strict hierarchy. The emperor uses a nine-tailed phoenix, the crown princess can use an eight-tailed phoenix, and princes, legitimate princesses, and daughters of princes like Su Qiruo who can inherit the prince's title can use a seven-tailed phoenix.

If a princess is born out of wedlock, she can only wear a six-tailed phoenix. However, if she is born out of wedlock like Su Ziyin but cannot inherit the title and status, she can only wear a five-tailed phoenix. Others cannot wear phoenix-themed clothing and accessories, otherwise it will be considered that they have disloyal intentions.

Apart from the Emperor and the Crown Princess, who are the most noble members of the Dongling royal family, only Prince Yong, the Ninth Princess, and Su Qiruo can use the Seven-Tailed Phoenix.

When Her Highness the Crown Princess ascends the throne, apart from the old Prince Yong, only Su Ziyin and Su Qiruo will be able to obtain the title of Prince in the entire Eastern Mausoleum.

The royal family valued both legitimate and illegitimate children, and the eldest daughter born of the legitimate wife held an even more prestigious status.

"It already looks great. You don't need to work so hard anymore. Be careful not to hurt your eyes."

This dress was a New Year's gift from Si Qianling to Su Qiruo; every stitch was made by his own hands.

He also obtained this gold thread by exchanging his own gold; it was very expensive.

This one garment could feed an ordinary family of ten for a lifetime.

"I have nothing to do on a daily basis, I just make clothes, how can it be considered hard work?"

Si Qianling took off Su Qiruo's clothes, threw them onto the kang table, and gestured where to embroider the little phoenix.

"This little bit of gold thread isn't enough to make another garment, so there's no point in keeping it."

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Su Qiruo dared not say no again.

She sat opposite him, watching herself gesture with the hem of her dress, looking very obedient. Si Qianling was pleased and continued the conversation from before.

"The Eastern Ling Kingdom and the Western Hu Kingdom have always been at odds, and their conflicts have continued for years. If I were truly a prince of the Western Hu Kingdom, would you mind?" (End of Chapter)
