Chapter 429
Lu Shuhui looked relieved.
Su Jingxian continued, "Mother, Yuze said that you should also pay more attention."
"Since I heard the news, I have been on guard." Lu Shuhui said.
"Then you still let the troupe perform?"
"There is no need to be so cautious."
The troupe was invited by the queen, just because Lu Shuhui casually said a few days ago that she wanted to listen to the opera.
This daughter-in-law did a pretty good job.
Su Jingxian did not comment on this.
"In this case, I will not bother mother to watch the opera. There are still many things to do at Qingyun Peak."
Su Jingxian did not like the atmosphere of the imperial city.
Especially the harem.
Staying here for a quarter of an hour, there is an inexplicable torment.
Lu Shuhui smiled and said, "You girl, since you are here, why don't you have a meal together?"
"This..."
Su Jingxian couldn't refuse politely, so she had to stay for a while.
It would be better if Lu Shuhui didn't keep her.
Since the mother-in-law has said so, if she must leave, she will appear too ignorant.
No matter how high the martial arts realm is, these human relationships and family education still need to be done.
No matter how urgent the matter is, it cannot be rushed for a while.
Near noon, Lu Shuhui held a banquet in the Cining Palace, and the emperor Shen Yuqing also brought her favorite concubine Guo Miner to come.
This made Lu Shuhui a little unhappy.
She had a headache when she saw these vixens in the harem.
It was like this before, and it is still like this now, and she forgot that she is also a vixen...
Since she brought them, it is not easy to say more.
When Su Jingxian saw the emperor Shen Yuqing, she stood up and bowed.
"Brother and sister-in-law, please don't bow. We are all family. There is no need to pay attention to these things."
Shen Yuqing smiled kindly.
The turmoil in the Tianshi Mansion did not affect the imperial city.
The country is the country, and the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes. Shen Yuqing also sent people to "condolences". This is the attitude of the court.
At the dinner table, Shen Yuqing asked casually.
"Sister-in-law, what is the situation at the Tianshi Mansion?"
Without waiting for Su Jingxian to answer, Lu Shuhui scolded: "Hurry up and eat your food. Why are you asking so many questions? Your brother is in charge of the Tianshi Mansion. Are you afraid that the Xuanmen forces will be in chaos because of this?"
"Mother, can't I want to know the details?" Shen Yuqing smiled bitterly.
"Isn't the court's affairs enough for you to be busy?"
"Enough..."
Shen Yuqing simply stopped asking.
Lu Shuhui also wanted to protect her eldest son.
This matter is too complicated. One son has been involved, and both sons cannot be involved.
At the dinner table, everyone talked about family matters.
Lu Shuhui glanced at the pregnant bellies of Queen Pei Liqing and Concubine Guo Min'er.
She also glanced at Su Jingxian's flat belly.
"Jingxian, why don't you and Yuze plan to have an heir?"
Su Jingxian said: "Mother, we are both busy, and there is no rush to have an heir."
If it were any other woman who said this.
Lu Shuhui would definitely not be happy.
When Su Jingxian answered like this, Pei Liqing and Guo Min'er felt a sense of fear.
Before she was pregnant.
Whenever she mentioned this, she would break out in a cold sweat.
When it came to Su Jingxian, it was a completely different situation.
Lu Shuhui said softly: "That's right, don't rush, pregnancy for ten months will affect your martial arts practice, anyway, you and Yuze are still young, why not wait a little longer."
Su Jingxian understood what she meant.
In the past, she begged the young couple to have an heir because Shen Yuqing didn't have any children.
Now, she wants to tell herself that she should prioritize everything and not make mistakes in certain things.
What if she gets pregnant.
Not only did it affect himself, but Shen Yuze also lost another blessing.
After dinner, Emperor Shen Yuqing went back to the Shangshufang to do business.
Lu Shuhui planned to continue listening to opera to kill time.
Su Jingxian originally planned to leave directly, but it happened that the opera troupe sang in the afternoon, which was also her favorite in the past, so she sat down in the courtyard.
This play is called "The Story of the Stone".
Su Jingxian and Lu Shuhui watched it with relish, and Queen Pei Liqing also felt good.
The imperial concubine Guo Min'er felt very bored, and made up a random reason to leave from the Cining Palace. Lu Shuhui didn't say much.
Until the end of the play, the three still felt unsatisfied.
Pei Liqing took the initiative to invite: "Sister-in-law, it seems that you also like this "The Story of the Stone". Why don't you stay in the palace for a few days? The troupe still has to perform for a few days."
"Thank you for your kindness, Queen. I feel a little guilty for wasting half a day. After all, I still have the responsibility of a sect." Su Jingxian said.
People are different.
Lu Shuhui originally planned to retire and guard the imperial city.
Pei Liqing didn't have much to do.
But Su Jingxian was different. As aAs the leader of a sect, there are so many things to deal with, how can you be so free and easy?
However, Pei Liqing is very envious.
Compared to being a canary, she wants to be a famous swordsman like Su Jingxian and her maid Pei Qing.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have that ability or opportunity.
After Su Jingxian said goodbye, she walked across the stage and glanced casually, but she vaguely saw a corpse among the belongings of the group of actors.
Her steps did not stop, but slowed down a lot.
After the play, the actors packed up their things under the supervision of eunuchs and palace maids, and waited until tomorrow to continue the performance.
Su Jingxian observed it repeatedly for a while.
Suddenly turned around and walked towards the pile of debris.
After pushing aside the debris, she saw the full appearance of the "corpse", which turned out to be a puppet.
Mainly because it was too lifelike.
Su Jingxian looked around.
The actors were still packing up. Lu Shuhui and Pei Liqing had already returned to the palace. The situation was not strange.
Su Jingxian always felt that something was wrong.
Her eyes fell on the puppet again, and then she reached out and pulled it out from the debris.
An actor hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Princess Yu, please be merciful. This puppet is used by our troupe to replace the staff. There is a play tomorrow and it will be used!"
"I just take a look." Su Jingxian said.
"Okay..."
Su Jingxian looked at it again and again, and her intuition told her that the puppet was too lifelike.
From a distance, it looked like a corpse.
But there was nothing unusual when you looked closely.
Su Jingxian was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "How about this, I like your puppet very much. Lend it to me for one night and send it to you tomorrow morning. How about it?"
"Didn't you say you were leaving?" asked an actor.
"I'm not leaving. I like this puppet more."
Su Jingxian grabbed the puppet's head and pretended to leave.
This thing is well-made, but it's not worth much.
What's more, the person who wants it is Princess Yu Su Jingxian. No matter how painful it is for the troupe, they will reluctantly give it up, and the queen has given them a lot of rewards.
The whole troupe started to get serious about this puppet.
The old troupe leader knelt directly in front of Su Jingxian.
"Princess Yu, to be honest, this thing is a relic left by my master. If you want it, I can make another one for you and send it to Qingyun Peak!"
Su Jingxian asked back slowly: "If it's a relic, why put it among a pile of miscellaneous items?"
"Do you think you can justify this?"
"Or are you afraid that this puppet will fall into my hands?"
