IACF [QT] Chapter 69.1

Arc 3 - The Heroine's Stunning Stepmother: Tease (1)

Advertisement

The next morning, when Su Yi woke up, she found herself rolling on King Rui’s body again. The soft quilt that had been between them was now lying wrinkled under the bed.

“Are my sleeping postures so bad?” She muttered to herself suspiciously.

King Rui’s expression remained unchanged. He waited until she retracted her hands and feet before sitting up from the bed.

Su Yi accidentally turned her head and found a bulge under his underwear.

The big demon would not cover her face out of shyness. She would just look at the other party’s face with interest, with the mentality of watching a good show, intending to see what the other party would do.

As a result, there was no fluctuation on King Rui’s face. He put on his outer coat and robe as usual, and then he sat down at the table. He looked calm and indifferent.

After a while, the maid came to help him wash. When Su Yi saw that he stood up, he had already calmed down.

“…”

To be honest, Su Yi felt a little bit of admiration in her heart.

Could it be that this guy lived to be 30 years old, and every morning when he got up, he would just sit like this and wait for that thing to disappear by itself?

She admires him.

She suddenly felt that the dog in this world had gotten rid of vulgarity and was now a dog with ideals and lofty ideals.

There was no need to go out today. After King Rui went to the camp, Su Yi began to get familiar with the affairs of the palace.

Things were much more complicated than when she was in the Shen family. The interpersonal relations in King Rui’s palace alone were not something that ordinary people could compare with.

Fortunately, these things were previously handled by the stewards in the palace, and Su Yi did not like to take power. Now they were still in charge, with Qing Lian and Qing Xing assisting from the side. She only had to review them in the end to know what was going on.

Qing Lian placed a stack of visiting cards and invitations on the coffee table beside her and said, “These servants and stewards have already screened them. There are no important people or things. But if you feel free, you can pick some that interest you and invite people to the palace or go to other people’s mansions to pass the time.”

Su Yi took a quick look at it and found that she had become a princess. Even the status of the people she interacted with had become much higher.

In the past, the people who would invite her were only some childhood friends or families who had contacts with Duke Anguo Mansion. Now, they were all madams from noble families, madams with royal titles, and even princesses and county ladies.

After being busy for several days, Su Yi just wanted to take a break today, so she said to Qing Lian: “Forget about leaving the palace. Tell me what’s new recently.”

Qing Lian knew that she didn’t like to hear about the jealousy of the women in the back house, but she was very interested in listening to the trivial things in other people’s eyes, such as who went to the kitchen to eat in the middle of the night and was beaten with a stick as if he was a rat; two peddlers in the back street fought on the ground because of competing for business; which old woman’s new daughter-in-law gave birth to two grandchildren in one pregnancy…

Su Yi listened and suddenly said: “Qing Lian, I want to transfer Li Zhuangtou to the palace and let him be the steward. What do you think?”

Li Zhuangtou is Qing Lian’s husband and also the man who came with Miss Su’s dowry. He manages a farm outside the capital for her.

Originally, Qing Lian should have moved to the farm after getting married, but she was worried about Miss Su, so she stayed at Shen’s mansion to accompany her, and the couple spent less time together.

Qing Lian is already 25 years old this year. Although she got married late, she has not had any children for five years.

Although Su Yi thinks that it is the healthiest and most appropriate time for her to have children now, in this era, her peers already have children everywhere.

This is definitely not a long-term solution. Su Yi is reluctant to let Qing Lian leave. Fortunately, the palace is big enough, so there is always a way to accommodate a few people to come in. So, she wants to transfer Li Zhuangtou back. From the farm to the palace, it is a promotion anyway.

“Is there a vacancy suitable for him in the palace? Miss, please don’t make it difficult for yourself.”

Although Qing Lian was somewhat tempted, she still had reservations.

“Don’t worry.”

Su Yi said, “Originally, the rules of the palace were not complete, but we were able to cope with it because there were fewer people and King Rui was not picky. Now that there is an additional princess, we should make some additions.”

Qing Lian nodded, “That’s good, Miss. Just find a place where there is a shortage of people and fill him in. He doesn’t have to be a steward. He is new here, and if he is in a high position, others will not accept him.”

Su Yi smiled and said, “You really don’t feel sorry for him. Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be dissatisfied about. We only have a few people, so whose job can we take away? I have planned it all. When Li Zhuangtou comes, you will move to the back with him, like the other stewards, in a small courtyard by yourself. I will also assign you a little maid so that you can enjoy yourself.”

Qing Lian also laughed and said, “Then, I will wait for my happiness.”

King Rui came back a little late today.

Su Yi had already had dinner and just finished washing up. She sat in front of the dressing table and Qing Xing wiped her hair.

Although the palace gave her many servants after the marriage, she was still used to the ones who had been around her before.

As for King Rui, he was probably used to staying in the military camp and hardly needed any service in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, so there were usually no outsiders in their bedroom.
