Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chu Qianyu pulled Yunying behind him and shook his head to signal her not to get involved.

She didn't want her mother to worry about this irrelevant Zhao Qing.

Then she looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, I think it would be inappropriate for you to let my aunt's granddaughter follow me to the palace as a slave. And my aunt would probably feel bad about it."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Li and asked, "Aunt, is that right?"

"How could that be? Your grandmother didn't ask Qing'er to be a maid. She mainly wanted to be the prince's concubine or something like that."

"The prince's concubine? I didn't know my grandmother had such an idea."

"Grandma, is what my aunt said right? Have you ever thought about it this way?" Chu Qianyu looked at the old lady, whose face had darkened. She was very different from her usual well-behaved appearance.

The old lady was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhao Li would be so brainless as to say these words directly.

I had to quickly smooth things over with a smile, "Grandmother just thought it would be nice for Qing'er to go to the palace to accompany you. And now their family is in a very difficult situation, we should help as much as we can. And now you are also the regent princess, your status is not low. In the future, you should attend more gatherings of ladies, and there will definitely be a chance to find a good family for her."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yunying again and said with some embarrassment: "You know your mother's health condition. I will definitely keep Qing'er here today. If you really don't want Qing'er to go to the palace with you, then you can let her stay in our house. But you will have to trouble your mother a lot."

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Chu Qianyu confidently. She didn't believe that she would have the heart to let Yunying work so hard. Today, she would send Zhao Qing to the palace no matter what.

But how could Chu Qianyu be defeated by her clumsy tricks now?

Although she is the elder on paper, and everyone's impression of Chu Qianyu in the past is that she is timid and cowardly.

But now her identity is different, if there are some changes, it will surely not arouse suspicion among others.

But Yunying was a little anxious. She couldn't let Zhao Qing go to the palace, so she was about to step forward to stop her, but Chu Qianyu pushed her slightly with her hand.

Yunying then came to her senses and realized that the person inside her daughter's body was Situ Yue.

As the youngest patriarch of the Situ clan, nothing could be difficult for her. Even if Zhao Qing went to the palace, she would probably die without knowing how she died.

Thinking of this, she calmed down and sat quietly to see how she would handle it.

Chu Qianyu pretended to be thinking, wondering whether to let her go to the palace. If she was not allowed to go, she would surely stay in the palace and cause trouble for her mother. If that was the case, it would be better to let her go first. After all, it was just a small matter for her.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianyu seemed to be moved by the old lady's words. She looked up at the old lady with some grievance and unwillingness and said, "Grandma, you make it very difficult for me. After all, I just got married, and you let me stay in the palace with my cousin temporarily. It's not easy for me to ask the prince for it."

When the old lady saw her like this, she knew it was safe.

So he said, "What's the big deal? Just say that she is your distant cousin who came to seek refuge with you. After all, she is not living in the palace for free. She can take care of your daily life. I'm sure the Regent and the old princess won't say anything."

Chu Qianyu sighed and said, "But others will always think that it is inappropriate to live with a married girl. Why not live in the general's mansion? How can I explain this? Why don't you ask the prince for his opinion later? After all, I have just married and I don't have much place to stay in the palace."

The old lady rolled her eyes and came up with a new excuse.

She did not reply to Chu Qianyu's words, but looked at Zhao Lishi and said, "If I say that if I go to the palace as Qing'er now, I will definitely be a servant. I think it is better to let Qing'er go in as Qianyu's personal maid first. We can do things step by step in the future. How do you think?"

"That's impossible. Although our family cannot compare to the general's mansion, Qing'er is my precious granddaughter and has never suffered any hardship at home. How can she go to be someone else's maid now?" Zhao Li quickly waved her hands, showing reluctance.

At this moment, the old lady really wanted to pry open her head to see if there was water inside.

He can't understand what people are saying. He is as stupid as a pig.

"In that case, take Qing'er back to your home and enjoy your life." The old lady rolled her eyes at her angrily, and there was a hint of anger in her words.

Zhao Li was so frightened when she saw this that she quickly said, "Oh, big sister, I...I didn't mean that. I just felt sorry for my Qing'er."

"Think about it carefully. Qing'er and Qianyu have this kind of relationship. They entered the palace together and were said to be personal maids, but why would Qianyu let Qing'er do those servant jobs? It's just a way to deal with the regent and the old princess."

"Ah? Grandmother, is this what you think? So in the final analysis, grandma still wants her to be the prince's concubine? In that case, I'd better ask the prince." Chu Qianyu said a little disappointedly.

The old lady was feeling overwhelmed at the moment. She had originally thought that this matter could be easily resolved, but she didn't expect that Chu Qianyu would be so sharp-tongued and difficult to deal with.

After taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, the old lady slowly said, "Qianyu, grandma is doing this for your own good. I just said that if you get pregnant in the future, it will be much better to have your family take care of you than outsiders. And the regent will definitely not take concubines like your father did."

"You should prepare early. Let's just leave it at that. When you go back later, take Qing'er with you. If anyone asks, just say that you are there to serve you."

After the old lady finished speaking, she didn't want to continue the topic. Without waiting for Chu Qianyu to respond, she changed the subject and looked at Zhao Jing beside her and said, "This is Jing'er. I think she's pretty good. What is she doing now? Has she participated in the imperial examination?"

When Mrs. Zhao Li heard this, she smiled like a flower and stood up, spitting excitedly. "Big sister, you don't know, Jing'er is really promising. He passed the examination and became a scholar in the past two years. If you can get Jun'er to give you some advice, he will definitely be a good official in the future."

After saying that, she looked at Chu Qianyu and was even happier. "And Qianyu is now also the regent princess. I think if she goes to the prince to talk to him at night, Jing'er's official position will definitely be settled."

???

Chu Qianyu felt like laughing when she heard this. It seems that the old lady might shoot herself in the foot this time. It is easier to invite a god than to send him away.

It depends on what she says next.

As expected, the old lady looked unhappy and frowned as she said, "This child is really good. It is also good that he can pass the examination to become a scholar. However, this is not a trivial matter. We will discuss it slowly later. After all, today is Qianyu's return home day, and we can't ask too much of the child."

"Madam Liu, it's getting late. You should take them downstairs to rest first. It won't be good if the Regent and his men come back and see the mess here."

"Yes, I will go right away." Madam Liu agreed and walked to Zhao Li's side, making a gesture of invitation, and then said, "Please ask Old Madam Zhao and Young Master Zhao to accompany me to the courtyard prepared for you two."

Zhao Li and Zhao Jingben said that they wanted to meet Chu Jun and the Regent, but seeing the old lady's warning look, they dared not say anything more and obediently followed Nanny Liu out, leaving Zhao Qing alone in the hall.
