It is winter now and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away.

Wen Zhimiao was always very active at this time of year in previous years, actively organizing various activities, but this year he is not as enthusiastic.

Maybe it was because I was missing a few friends, or maybe it was because I had gone to the south and experienced so many things that I haven’t recovered yet.

On the day of the crown prince's enthronement, Wen Zhimiao spent a leisurely day in the palace and ate a lot of cakes made by Yun Zhou. In the end, she actually finished them all.

Wen Jiuzhao did not go to the government office that day, so he just played with Wen Zhimiao for the whole day.

Wen Zhimiao brought back a lot of gadgets from the south and played with them for a whole day.

Su Qingluo, the emperor, also played these childish things with her.

The next day, Wen Zhimiao wanted to find Shi Wanyue, but Shi Wanyue had to report to the Censorate and was too busy to talk to her during the day.

Wen Zhimiao had nothing to do so he could only go find He Yuanyao to play with, and He Yuanyao happened to have nothing to do either.

The two idle guys made an appointment to play football.

I calculated the time when Shi Wanyue got off work to pick her up for dinner.

I haven’t been back to Yunjing for quite a while, and the dishes at Shilizui have been updated a lot.

But today when Wen Zhimiao went there, the boss of Shilizui came out to greet her in person, looking very nervous and honored.

It was obvious at first glance that Wen Zhimiao's identity was already known.

Wen Zhimiao could only helplessly tell him not to be so nervous and just act as usual.

But once her identity was known, there would be no possibility of everything going back to normal, and the boss still looked terrified.

Wen Zhimiao had no choice but to give up. He waved his hand and let him leave the private room. Out of sight, out of mind.

Some people learned that the prince had come to Shilizui, and they came here specially, hoping to meet him by chance.

Only half an hour after Wen Zhimiao and the others sat down, the entire Shilizui was packed with people.

Through the cracks in the window, Wen Zhimiao looked at the surging crowd outside and couldn't help but sigh: "Does it really have to be cleared when going out in the future?"

"I don't want to have a bodyguard with me wherever I go. It's too conspicuous."

"But you are very ostentatious now." He Yuanyao shrugged.

Wen Zhimiao:......

That makes sense.

Soon Wen Jiuzhao also came over, but with her came a face that none of the three were very familiar with.

Wen Zhimiao looked at the person, hesitated for a long time and said, "Auntie?"

Su Yubing was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he bowed respectfully to Wen Zhimiao and said, "I greet your highness."

Wen Zhimiao didn't know why she came, and she came with Wen Jiuzhao.

"No need to be so polite." Wen Zhimiao smiled and asked her to stand up: "We are all family."

Shi Wanyue also stood up and greeted Su Yubing: "Wanyue greets Doctor Su."

"Master Ji, you are too polite." Su Yubing returned the greeting.

He Yuanyao didn't know her, so she followed Shi Wanyue and bowed.

"Why did sister come here with Doctor Su?" After getting to know each other, Wen Zhimiao asked Wen Jiuzhao curiously.

Wen Jiuzhao smiled and said, "Dr. Su and I have been good friends since we were in the Imperial College. Later, she took the imperial examination a year late because she had to observe mourning for Old Master Su. Otherwise, it is unknown who would have been the top scorer between her and me." Wen Jiuzhao said with a smile.

"I know that." Su Yubing was also a famous figure in the Imperial College back then, and his knowledge was not inferior to Wen Jiuzhao.

But later he became an official in the Ministry of Rites, and there was not much news about him.

Wen Zhimiao didn't ask too much about her. After all, she was not an overly important person in the Su family, and the Su family didn't pay much attention to her. She felt like an insignificant marginal figure.

Although Wen Jiuzhao had said before that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, she had not done anything particularly outstanding during her years as an official and had always been well-behaved.

Naturally, it was impossible for Wen Zhimiao to pay attention to her just for no reason.

"Yu Bing said that she wanted to come and congratulate Your Highness, and by the way, she wanted to talk to Your Highness about the Su family."

Wen Zhimiao tilted her head and looked at Su Yubing. She blinked at Su Yubing and said, "The Su family is the mother's family. What's the problem?"

"I'm afraid to be honest, although your majesty's mother's family also has the surname Su, they are not the same Su as me." Su Yubing said with a smile.

Although Su Qingluo's mother also had the surname Su, she was an orphan. She only knew Su Qingluo's father because she studied in a school sponsored by the Su family.

The teacher of the academy saw that her mother, a little beggar, was always secretly studying outside the door, so he adopted her as his daughter, provided her with food, clothing, and education.

Su Qingluo's father was originally just a branch of the Su family, but later he was promoted to the rank of general because of his conquests.

As a result, he became the patriarch of the Su family, and the Su family was resurrected from a family that was about to be lost in the long river of history.

So to be honest, now everyone in the Su family thinks that Su Qingluo was able to sit firmly on the throne with the help of the Su family. Su Yubing really can't understand why they dare to think so.

If Su Qingluo was still the queen back then, then the Su family could indeed barely say so.

But in fact, if you look closely, it has little to do with the Su family. At that time, Su Qingluo was able to successfully support Wen Huai to ascend the throne not only because of the Su family's wealth, but also because of the military power in the hands of Su Qingluo's parents.

Moreover, the rise of the entire Su family depends on this family.

That's why Su Yubing found it very interesting. She found these people's self-righteousness very interesting.

Wen Zhimiao didn't understand it at once.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Your Majesty takes your mother's surname. It just happens that your mother's surname is also Su. I just benefited from it. So your Majesty's Su and my Su are not the same Su." Su Yubing said with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao nodded in understanding: "So that's how it is."

These are not in the original book, and Su Qingluo also told her. As for whether they told Yun Zhou and Wen Zhimiao, she didn't know. After all, those two often don't take her to play now!

"But the Queen Mother is still the head of the Su family. What problems could there be in the Su family?" Wen Zhimiao looked innocent and puzzled. She tilted her head and looked at Su Yubing.

Su Yubing met Wen Zhimiao's clear eyes, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she really thought so or was testing her.

Wen Jiuzhao smiled at Wen Zhimiao and said, "Okay, Miaomiao, there's no need to test Yu Bing. We were able to get some of the evidence of the Wen family so quickly this time, and it was also with Yu Bing's help."

Wen Zhimiao's expression suddenly changed: "Sister, you should have told me earlier that acting is very tiring."

Shi Wanyue laughed beside him and said, "You are addicted to acting, who can stop you?"

Wen Zhimiao muttered, "Just bully me."

He Yuanyao ate a fruit and said: "Who can bully you? You are the only one who can bully others, right? Don't be the first to complain."

Su Yubing: ...

She really didn't expect Wen Zhimiao to be like this in private.
