Three days later, Su Tang knew that she had gone astray.
On this day, the weather was fine. Su Tang had breakfast and went to Songhe Hall to say hello. Only halfway there, a layer of fine sweat formed on his forehead.
It was so hot today that Su Tang wanted to wear something cool, but she could only think about it, not to mention wearing it out, even in her own room.
Su Tang decided to go back after only spending half a cup of tea in Songhe Hall. However, as soon as he entered the house, Su Tang changed his mind because it was very cool in the old lady's house.
There are ice basins placed at the four corners of the house, which is very effective in cooling off the heat.
When Su Tang came up to say hello, the fourth wife said, "This year is much hotter than in previous years. Without ice, I really don't know how to survive this summer."
The third wife said, "The ice stored in the house in the cold winter is not enough. The prince spent the night in the ice cellar before, but the ice cellar was not sealed. When the servants found out, it had melted a lot. This year, it will cost at least two thousand yuan."
Two ice cubes are enough."
"Then you have to buy it quickly, as it gets more expensive as time goes by," the second wife said.
Su Tang stepped forward to greet the old lady, and then sat down. A maid came in from outside, holding a post in her hand, and told the old lady, "I heard that the prince's palace sent someone to deliver the post."
The maid sent the post to the old lady.
Even without reading it, the Fourth Madam and the others knew what kind of post it was. Princess Nankang put down the tea cup and said, "This matter is not easy to handle. In a few days it will be Princess Wen's birthday. The old lady celebrates her birthday. Let's Jing
Prince Nan’s Mansion confiscated the birthday gift from someone, so I have to send you a post, let alone go empty-handed.”
Courtesy requires reciprocity, and only what comes must go.
Can’t Jingnan Prince’s Mansion only give out gifts but not accept them?
The princess of Nankang didn't want to open any pot. When the old lady thought about the birthday banquet, her face sank uncontrollably. She glanced at the post and threw it on the small table, "If you can't make up your mind, just ask
princess."
Su Tang sat there, laughing and enduring the hard work. These people's mouths were like knives. Princess Nankang rubbed salt on the old lady's wound, and the old lady threw it back.
Although Princess Nankang received the gift in the palm of her hand, she was still crushed by the princess. This pain was much more painful than the old lady's birthday but not receiving a birthday gift. The pain was so painful that Princess Nankang's face was instantly distorted.
Princess Nankang said, "The princess has never cared about these things, so asking her is in vain."
The old lady looked at Su Tang, "Concubine, do you think you should send it or not?"
Ask her what she does, and she doesn't care.
However, Xie Boting is the eldest son of the Jingnan Palace, and the Jingnan Palace will be under her control sooner or later. If she can't handle such a trivial matter, wouldn't she be laughed at?
Su Tang then said, "It's not because she didn't want to give the old lady a birthday gift, it's because my father refused to give it to me to avoid suspicion. When I heard that the concubine was celebrating her birthday, since she didn't say she wouldn't accept a birthday gift, she naturally wanted to give it to her, but the gift was probably expensive.
I feel sorry to hear that the palace has given me half of it this year."
The old lady's eyes swept across Su Tang's face, she fiddled with the tea gently, and said, "It seems that these people who are welcoming you and sending you off can't trouble you."
Princess Nankang's already ugly face became even more ugly, and the look in her eyes that fell on Su Tang was more effective than ice cubes in relieving the heat.
Su Tang stood up with a calm face and left with the old lady.
Su Tang was walking out of Songhe Hall to Jingmoxuan. A maid over there lightly lifted her skirt and ran into Songhe Hall. She ran very fast and directly bumped into the maid in the yard.
When Banxia heard the noise, she turned around and said, "I don't know why I am so anxious to report something, so I am running in such a hurry."
When Su Tang walked to the door of Jingmoxuan, he knew what the maid was anxious to report. A maid ran over and said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother sent someone to convey her decree."
Su Tang frowned, "For me?"
The maid shook her head, "No, it's for the older girl." This chapter has been completed!
