Chapter 530 Do One Thing for Me
Shui Yanze's arrival reduced Zhao Jiuling's workload.
Their family temporarily stayed in Zhao Jiuling's house.
Shen Sui'an asked Shui Qingqing to stay in the palace for a few more days.
I didn't expect that when I took her to pay respects to the Empress Dowager that day, Shui Qingqing and Xue Jingshu hit it off right away, and the two girls had a great time chatting.
When Shui Qingqing learned about what happened to Xue Jingshu, she cried for her.
"Qingqing's embroidery is excellent and hard to compare with anyone else. I think it would be better to open an embroidery workshop in Suzhou City. Qingqing, what do you think?" Shen Suian asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, I actually have the same idea. I'm afraid that others will not like me showing up in public, and it will bring trouble to Your Highness." After all, the Shui family is also the princess's people.
Shen Sui'an laughed and said, "How can it be shameful to survive with your own hands? There are many women in Suzhou City who open their own shops to make a living."
Shui Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "My reputation in Suzhou has not yet spread, and I want to follow the princess and see more."
"Okay." Shen Sui'an nodded with a smile.
Shui Qingqing is now confident and confident, completely different from the timid girl she was when they first met.
Shui Qingqing also gave the Empress Dowager a double-sided embroidered screen with scriptures embroidered in gold thread.
The Empress Dowager couldn't let it go. "I have never seen such exquisite embroidery. Who taught you, little girl, to have such a good skill?"
"Thank you for your praise, Empress Dowager. Fortunately, the princess sent me to learn embroidery, otherwise I would not have known that I would like it so much." Shui Qingqing said shyly.
Shen Sui'an laughed and said, "Qingqing is talented, I just gave her a push."
Shui Qingqing gave Xue Jingshu another handkerchief.
Xue Jingshu was pleasantly surprised. The handkerchief was embroidered with lifelike lotus flowers, with exquisite needlework. If this handkerchief was sold in a shop outside, it would surely be worth a lot of money.
"It's too expensive, how can I accept it?" Xue Jingshu said hurriedly.
"Sister Xue, don't be polite with me. It is my greatest satisfaction that you like Qingqing." Shui Qingqing said.
Shen Sui'an looked at Shui Qingqing and felt relieved.
After she was reborn, she changed her own destiny. She also changed Shui Qingqing's original life, making her live better than in her previous life. There is no change more joyful than this.
As he was talking, Shen Sui'an saw Ningshuang walking outside the door.
"Grandma, I have something to attend to, so let Qingqing stay here and talk to you." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.
The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Go and do your work. I just like to talk to the little girl."
Shen Sui'an gave Shui Qingqing a few instructions before turning around and leaving.
After leaving the courtyard, Ning Shuang whispered, "Princess, Wei Lichu asked someone to find Uncle Liu and ask him to give her a piece of good land to buy back the barren land."
"Mr. Liu didn't dare to agree, saying that the land deed had already been handed over to the government. The Wei family went to the government again to ask for the land deed."
"The government gave it to them?" Shen Suian raised his eyebrows.
"No, the current prefect is in charge of the ban on land enclosure. How dare he hand over the land deeds to the Wei family privately?" Ningshuang said.
Nowadays, rumors about the Wei family occupying government land are rampant, and no one dares to take advantage of the situation at this time.
Between the Regent and the Wei family, they naturally prefer to trust the Regent.
"Is the prince back?" Shen Sui'an asked.
Ning Shuang: "The prince just came back."
"it is good."
Shen Suian stopped and walked in the other direction to the study in the front yard.
Hearing the maids mumbling in the back, she turned around to look at them, "Banjian, what are you talking about."
Ban Jian hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Princess, I didn't say anything."
Ning Shuang said, "Princess, she said that Miss Shui gave Miss Xue a handkerchief and a screen to the Empress Dowager, but she didn't show any appreciation to you. She felt unhappy when she saw you."
Shen Sui'an glanced at Banjian in anger, "Qingqing came to the palace for the first time. How could she know that there was Miss Xue in the palace besides the Empress Dowager? Now that she understands the ways of the world, she will be able to survive in Suzhou in the future. We should be happy for Qingqing."
"You shouldn't care about these empty formalities."
Ban Jian blushed, "Princess, I am short-sighted."
Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "I'm going to the academy. You don't have to follow me. Go back to the upper room first."
"Yes."
She had not met Fu Jinyuan much these days. He had just taken over the administration of Suzhou. Although she had learned about Suzhou's policies in the royal capital before, there were still many files to read as he was actually managing it himself.
In the study, Fu Jinyuan was discussing official business with his subordinates and staff. Shen Sui'an didn't want to disturb them, so he waited in the side hall next door.
"Princess, please have some tea." A tender voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Sui'an was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the maid who was serving her tea.
It was a strange face.
The maid was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She had a pair of bewitching fox eyes, a stunning appearance, and a slim and attractive figure. Although she was young, she already had a charming aura.
Shen Sui'an had lived two lifetimes, and he could tell at a glance that this woman had been trained since childhood to serve men.
When did the palace have such a maid?
"Are you new here?" Shen Suian picked up the teacup and asked calmly.
The maid smiled sweetly, "Princess, this servant has been given to the prince."
"What's your name?" Shen Suian asked with raised eyebrows.
"My name is Afu." said Afu.
Shen Sui'an nodded gently, "Afu, then who was your original master?"
"Yes……"
"Who let you in?" A stern shout came from outside.
The chief official came over with big strides, clasped his hands and bowed, "Please forgive me, my princess. This girl was sent by the Maritime Customs Officer. The prince ordered me to send her away, but I didn't expect that I would be so careless when I glanced at her."
Ah Fu's face turned pale as she knelt in front of Shen Sui'an, "Princess, please leave me here. If the palace sends me back, I will die."
"I don't think you look like someone from the Southern Dynasty. Where are you from?" Shen Suian glanced at the Chief Secretary and motioned him to slow down.
"I am from the Western Regions, and was trafficked to the Southern Dynasty when I was young." Afu said in a trembling voice, "Master Mi said that if I can't please the prince, I will be sent to the government station when I return. From now on... from now on, I will be worse than a prostitute."
Shen Sui'an: "What official website?"
The chief clerk glared at Afu and explained awkwardly, "It's a place specially for officials to have fun."
Afu kowtowed vigorously, "Princess, please keep me, I will work like a cow or a horse to repay you."
If I remember correctly, Mr. Mi from the Maritime Customs has an inseparable relationship with the Wei family.
Sending such a beauty to the palace must have been the Wei family's intention.
"If I kick you out, when you go back, will you commit suicide after making everyone know about it?" Shen Sui'an suddenly asked.
By then her reputation will surely be damaged. Will those noble families who have intended to cooperate with her become cautious because of this matter?
Afu looked up in surprise. How did the princess know?
Shen Sui'an lifted her chin and said, "She is so beautiful, it would be a pity if she died."
"I'll save your life, and if you do something for me, I'll send you back to the Western Regions. How about that?"
