How could Su Jinpa not know this truth?
But when all is said and done, the core problem lies in one question: when will the prince come back?
"I don't know the whereabouts of the prince now. He may be on the road, or he may still be on the front line, but no matter what, since the prince has not returned, we must persevere."
After saying that, Su Jinpa bowed deeply to Zhao Qinglan and said sincerely: "Your Majesty understands the great righteousness, and all the ministers and concubines see it in their eyes and are grateful in their hearts. I think your Majesty must have worked so hard. When the prince returns to Beijing, I will also remember the five inner thoughts.”
Zhao Qinglan said lightly: "I have not considered these things. It doesn't matter, I am a little tired. Since the Crown Princess already knows these things, let the Crown Princess handle them. I am unable to interfere too much."
After saying that, Zhao Qinglan left.
Seeing Zhao Qinglan leave, Su Jinpa opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just watched her leave Qianqing Palace.
After Zhao Qinglan left, Su Jinpa did not stay in Qianqing Palace for long. After leaving the palace, she got on the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, she said to her subordinates: "Go and call Xu Changqing to the East Palace."
The attendants of the East Palace were very fast. When Su Jinpa returned to the East Palace, Xu Changqing was already waiting respectfully outside the East Palace.
"Xu Changqing, a humble minister, has met the Crown Princess."
Nodding slightly, Su Jinpa said: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Xu. Come in with me."
"Mother, please go first."
Xu Changqing turned to the side, bowed and raised his hand to ask Su Jinpa to go first.
Su Jinpa did not refuse. The difference between superiority and inferiority is a rule that can never be vague. Those in higher positions can be amiable and avoid some red tape, but those in lower positions must not take the initiative to have this idea.
The former is grace, the latter is transcendence.
After entering the palace, Xu Changqing stood on the ground in an orderly manner. Su Jinpa did not go to take a seat, but sat down below and motioned for Xu Changqing to sit opposite him.
After Xu Changqing thanked him, he sat down with half of his butt on the chair.
Then he asked the palace maid to pour tea. When the tea was served, Su Jinpa invited Xu Changqing to drink tea together and said: "Although this tea is a small variety and not well-known tea, that's all there is in the palace now. It's not deliberately frugal. But the prince likes the slightly bitter taste of this tea with a sweet aftertaste. Although other teas also have a sweet taste, the bitterness is too strong. The prince always laughs and calls himself a person who can't stand hardship."
Xu Changqing smiled and said: "If Your Highness cannot endure hardship, there are not many people in the world who can endure hardship."
Shaking his head, Su Jinpa disagreed with this and said: "The prince is born in a noble family. He has been a prince since he was born. There is definitely no shortage of fine clothes and food. When he comes to eat, he opens his mouth and puts out his hands, these are the most basic things. , and later he took charge of the East Palace. As the crown prince, he can count on one hand all the things in the world that he wants but cannot have."
"How can you say it's bitter?"
"As for those days and nights of hard work, they are all things that the prince must bear in this position. He shoulders the entire country and the country. These are the prices that must be paid, and these prices are higher than those of poor people. , It’s really nothing. Some people work hard day and night without having enough to eat.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing immediately said: "What the Crown Princess said is absolutely true."
Su Jinpa lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put down the tea cup.
