Chapter 519 Meet Ma Xiyue again

   When she first arrived in the bustling Yangzhou, but she couldn't go out for a stroll, Yu Xiaolian was a little depressed.

   It wasn't because the child was holding her back, but because Cao Guangqiao paid for the murder, and she would have to stay in the mansion for a day until the dust settled.

   I hope that the reply from Beijing will be faster!

  What Yu Xiaolian didn't expect was that the reply from the capital didn't come, but an invitation from Prince Cheng.

  To be precise, it is an invitation from the Crown Princess.

  The person who sent the invitation was none other than the 'old butler' who guarded the house last time. Because he chatted with Yu Xiaolian, he was considered an 'acquaintance'.

   Therefore, as soon as Yu Xiaolian inquired, the old housekeeper told the truth.

Princess Cheng wanted to set up a charity hall to take in some orphans without father and mother, and asked Yu Xiaolian to go there for no other reason. Firstly, she wanted to get acquainted with this legendary female wife. Yu Xiaolian donated some as appropriate.

  Yu Xiaolian has nothing to say. She is new here, and she has not even gone out of the gate, so she has to donate money. Thinking about it is aggrieved.

   This is too much donation, it seems not good to compare Shi Zifei, but if the donation is less, she will appear to be quite shabby.

  According to Yu Xiaolian, she wanted to just pretend to be sick. Anyway, the fact that they were intercepted and killed by bandits was already a well-known secret. Even if she said that she was frightened by the vicious bandits, it was reasonable to think about it.

   Moreover, she didn't think that Princess Cheng Wang's invitation to her was purely for the sake of the Charity Hall, and there must be other things.

   It might be Hongmen Banquet!

  Su Jingchen couldn't wait for the reply from the capital, nor did he wait for Cao Guangqiao to start again, so he couldn't sit still.

  He knew that the invitation to become a prince concubine might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface, but it didn't feel good to have a knife hanging over his head.

  Su Jingchen suggested that Yu Xiaolian go to the appointment!

   It is very suspicious that Cheng Wang's son does not live in Huizhou, but settled in Yangzhou. Su Jingchen does not believe that he does not covet the oil and water from the Lianghuai Salt Field.

  Yu Xiaolian went to the appointment, changed into a relatively formal dress and went to Chengwang Mansion, besides Sun Manyue and Fangcao, there was also a coachman Grassroots with her.

   As for the gift, she didn't prepare it.

  She wasn't going to curry favor with Prince Cheng, she had a hunch that the emperor's transfer of their couple to Yangzhou might be aimed at Prince Cheng in disguise.

  The only remaining sibling of the emperor is Cheng Wang. If he kills Cheng Wang's son or Cheng Wang in the name of corruption, I am afraid that everyone will poke his back and scold him for his lack of brotherhood.

  So, the emperor wants Su Jingchen to persuade him to settle down when he becomes the prince's son?

   Or maybe someone else can't keep Chengwang's family here, and let Su Jingchen take strict precautions at the saltworks?

  Isn’t it, after going through this experience today, I guess I can understand one, two, three.

   It's just that Yu Xiaolian didn't expect that this concubine, the princess, was actually an acquaintance.

   Ma Xiyue, the daughter of the county magistrate of Los Angeles.

  Since Ma County Magistrate died, Ma Jingwen took his family and left Los Angeles.

  Where did she go? Yu Xiaolian was not interested in asking. People who thought they would never meet again in this life actually met again.

   Moreover, it is still on this occasion!

  Thinking of giving a big gift to Ma Xiyue, Yu Xiaolian was in a bad mood.

  This... She doesn't know whether Prince Cheng is involved in the matter of the saltworks, but Ma Xiyue called her here, it is definitely not because he wants to discuss the matter of the saltworks.

  This person...she is the enemy!

  She still remembers Ma Xiyue's resentful eyes when she defeated Ma Xiyue in Jianyin Academy.

   Come on, now that she is a princess and you are a minister's wife, it is necessary to salute.

   Ma Xiyue sat in the middle, enjoying the happiness brought by Yu Xiaolian bowing her head and saluting.

  Feng Shui takes turns, I never thought that Yu Xiaolian would fall into her territory one day, God really helped her.

  Bowing your head and curtseying is already Yu Xiaolian's bottom line. As for kneeling and bowing, Yu Xiaolian can't do it.

   What if her man is a third-rank official, so what if he becomes a prince, he just has the title of a prince, and has no official position. She is so afraid!

  Yu Xiaolian saluted with a slightly bent knee, and then stood up straight without waiting for Ma Xiyue to say excuses.

  Even if you don't look at Su Jingchen, she is also a seventh-rank academic officer herself, and the concubine Cheng Wang Shizi can't let him bow down. Her bowing down can only be given to the current emperor.

  Yu Xiaolian prepared Ma Xiyue to go crazy in her heart.

   It's a pity that she thought a lot about "returning" words, but Ma Xiyue didn't make things difficult for her, but showed her politely.

   There is progress, Yu Xiaolian sighed in her heart, Ma Xiyue is no longer the spoiled and savage county magistrate daughter when she was in Los Angeles.

   Also, the county magistrate's father is dead, she has no support, and if she doesn't restrain her temper, she will be a fool.

   But, how did Ma Xiyue get involved with Cheng Wangfu? She also became the daughter-in-law of Prince Cheng, which is very strange these days.

  Don’t say Ma County Magistrate is dead, even if he is not dead, he is not qualified to be in-laws with King Cheng!

   Is it because of love?

   Thousands of possibilities flashed through Yu Xiaolian's mind in an instant.

   "Master Yu, I haven't seen you in a few years, are you all right?" Ma Xiyue looked like an old acquaintance.

  Yu Xiaolian made a smirk, "I'm all right, how is the princess?"

  Ma Xiyue showed a wry smile, "I... that's the way it is!"

  Yu Xiaolian raised her eyebrows. Ma Xiyue is in a high position now, so she shouldn't show her unsatisfactory appearance in front of her.

   "Since my father passed away, my mother brought me and my brother to my grandparents' house in Yangzhou. It feels like living under the fence...it's not good!" Ma Xiyue looked like reminiscing with old friends.

   "However, no matter how hard it is, it's better now. I think I still have some blessings in my life, don't you think so, Master Yu?"

  Yu Xiaolian wasn't sure what Ma Xiyue meant, but she didn't dare to do anything to her, "Of course the concubine is a lucky person!"

   "I heard that Mrs. Yu married Su Jingchen? When I was in Los Angeles, I could see that the relationship between you was unusual, but I didn't expect that I was quite accurate." Ma Xiyue covered her lips and smiled.

   "Yes, now that we have a child, the child is only six months old, and it is inconvenient for me to leave her for too long.

  But the Crown Princess invited me to talk about the Salesian Church, and I had to come. I don’t know about the Salesian Church, how can I help? "Yu Xiaolian said lightly.

  Ma Xiyue was secretly proud when she saw Yu Xiaolian walking away in a hurry.

  Hmph, be afraid!

  Since I called you here, I didn't intend to let you go easily!

   "Master Yu, don't worry, it's easy to talk about the Salesian Church, it's just that we can scrape together some money.

I have a muddled account in my hand, and the gentleman in the mansion has calculated it for many days, but he still can't figure it out. As we all know, Master Yu is a genius in mathematics. I want to ask Master Yu to help me, so that I can call me a bad account. head and tail! "Ma Xiyue said, and asked someone to bring over two stacks of thick account books.
