Once the Crown Prince Joins In

364: Tune the tiger away from the mountain

It was rare to see Xin Yi like this. Yan Junchu looked at her and said slowly: "I know you have always been suspicious of Fu Yun. Since the third uncle is willing to go there in person, let's wait for the news this time."

Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi turned around and hugged the prince's waist, leaning against his chest.

Yan Junchu lowered his head and looked at Xin Yi, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Last time I asked the imperial doctor to come over and diagnose your pulse, and I asked the imperial doctor to go to Xin Yi."

Su Xinyi stopped the prince and said, dumbfounded, "What time has it been? I'm not sick. Don't disturb others at night and then go to the palace. I know my own health, I really don't feel any discomfort. I will celebrate the Double Ninth Festival soon." Let’s talk about it after the festival.”

Yan Junchu frowned, "Since you are on duty at the Imperial Hospital, even a trip is just part of your job. You just think too much."

Su Xinyi knew that His Highness was worried about her, so she said: "His Highness was born as a person above the clouds. Naturally, he would not know the thoughts of the people below him. If I were the imperial physician, everyone would be asleep this late at night before announcing someone to the palace." , even if I dare not say anything, I still feel hard in my heart."

Yan Junchu patted Xin Yi on the back and said, "Okay, don't shirk it after the Double Ninth Festival."

Su Xinyi naturally agreed. She really felt that there was nothing wrong with her body. Maybe it was because she had too many things recently and had less time to rest, so she felt tired easily.

In the evening, Yan Junchu didn't bother Su Xinyi and rested early after leaving the tent.

When Su Xinyi got up the next day, she remembered that His Highness had said that she wanted to meet Mu Xing. She asked Delphinium to inform Zhan Qiao and ask him to go to Mu Xing's place.

Speaking of which, she did have something to ask Mu Xing.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Qiao came back and said that Mu Xing had been invited away by Sheng Siming from King Rong.

Su Xinyi:......

Sheng Siming definitely didn't dare to make his own opinions, it must be King Rong's intention.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhan Qiao and said, "Then go to King Rong and ask His Highness when he will release me."

Zhan Qiao responded hurriedly, looked at the Crown Princess and said, "When I returned home, I met the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince said he would come see you later. If you are free, I will go back and say something."

Su Xinyi usually didn't do anything important in the afternoon, just doing some trivial matters for the Double Ninth Festival. She also missed her eldest brother very much, so she said: "Then you tell your eldest brother and ask him to come to the East Palace at noon."

Zhan Qiao agreed and then turned around and left.

Su Xinyi had time to have breakfast, and took the time to go to Yuanhui Palace.

Passing through the palace gate between the East Palace and the Harem, Su Xinyi walked slowly and slowly on the palace road. The palace walls on both sides were high and straight. The road paved with bluestone slabs was cleanly swept, and the people coming and going in the palace could see it. She stood at the base of the wall with her hands tied and bowed her head to salute, and then she continued her duties after she passed by.

After entering the harem, he embarked on the road to Yuanhui Palace, but unexpectedly saw Princess Wu Ji Yun at a fork in the road.

Ji Yun was following the palace attendants to Chunze Palace of Concubine Ruan Ming. He did not expect to see Su Xinyi here, so he immediately stopped and greeted Su Xinyi, "I have met the Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi glanced at Ji Yun, then nodded with a smile, "Wu Wangfei doesn't need to be polite. Come to the palace today to visit Concubine Ming?"

Ji Yun nodded when he heard this, "Yes."

Su Xinyi could sense Ji Yun's indifference towards her. She had little contact with Ji Yun and had never had any bad relations with her. This indifference was a bit inexplicable. However, she was not a philanthropist and would smile at everyone she met. , after saying hello, he said no more and left directly with the people.

Nanny She followed the Crown Princess and glanced at Princess Wu turning onto the palace road to Chunze Palace. Then she said in a low voice: "Princess, I feel that Princess Wu seems to be a little dissatisfied with you?"

Su Xinyi was not surprised that Aunt She could notice it. After all, she had been in the palace for decades. She said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, she and I are just sisters-in-law. We have similar temperaments, so let's talk more." , keep in touch with each other as much as possible, and don’t be rude if you don’t agree with your temperament.”

Speaking of which, the Su family and the Ji family have little contact. The two families have neither the friendship of the previous generation nor the current generation, so they have become sisters-in-law. Since Ji Yun does not want to have much contact with her, he should stay away from her in the future. That’s it.

Not a big deal.

Aunt She nodded slightly after hearing what the Crown Princess said, "As long as you think so, there will only be more and more people in this palace. You are the Crown Princess, and you don't have to bend to anyone except the Queen. "

Su Xinyi could tell that Aunt She was afraid that she would be unhappy or disappointed because of Ji Yun's attitude, but that was not the case.

She is not the sensitive and inferior self she was in her previous life, who valued other people's opinions more than her life. She has already died once, so there is nothing she can't figure out or understand.

"What mama said is true." Su Xinyi smiled slightly, raised her head slightly and looked into the distance. Insignificant people were not worth her trouble.

When they arrived at Yuanhui Palace, the queen saw Su Xinyi and handed her the account in her hand, "Come and take a look. I feel dizzy and need to rest. This account in the Inner Palace is quite complicated and makes my eyes tired from looking at it." . Regarding the matters related to the Double Ninth Festival, His Majesty also leaves it to the Inner Palace to handle. If you have any matters, just negotiate with the Inner Palace directly."

When Su Xinyi heard this, he smiled and said, "Seventh brother is in charge of the inner court now. If anything happens, just call people into the palace and give them direct orders."

When the queen heard this, she became very angry, "You can't touch anyone, so what else are you giving me? You said he finally returned to the palace, and he didn't know what he was busy with when he saw the world. As a mother, I have to send a message in advance if I want to see my son." , are you angry?"

Su Xinyi was startled for a moment. If this were the previous queen, she would definitely not complain about this in front of her. Now the relationship between the two is getting more and more harmonious. The queen really treats her like a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and she can say such things.

She smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll ask someone to ask. If something happens to Seventh Brother, we'll have an idea."

The queen said angrily: "What serious business can he have? He is said to be in charge of the inner court, why don't he leave everything to Huang Zhongsheng? I think Huang Zhongsheng is really aggrieved."

Su Xinyi was happy and understood tactfully. Originally, Huang Zhongsheng was the head of the inner court, but now King Rong took his position. As a result, he stopped doing business. Huang Zhongsheng was acting as a deputy but doing his main job. Queen This was because he was worried that Huang Zhongsheng would be dissatisfied and would ask Su Xinyi to make up for his son.

Being a mother is different, she really thinks about her son with all her heart.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi said: "You don't know the temper of the seventh brother? How can he have the patience for such trivial matters? Huang Zhongsheng is used to doing these things, and it is his duty to share the worries of the seventh brother. The seventh brother also Don’t worry if you can lose to him.”

How could the queen not be worried? Huang Zhongsheng belonged to the prince. If she were an ordinary official, she could take advantage of the approaching Double Ninth Festival to send some etiquette to his family members. The queen of Huang Zhongsheng's family could not reach out.

Now after listening to Su Xinyi's words, the queen knew that as long as the prince and his wife didn't feel that their son was not doing well, she would not care.

Putting aside this worry, the Queen talked about the Double Ninth Festival again with Su Xinyi, "In previous years, it depends on His Majesty's wishes what to do during the Double Ninth Festival. Sometimes it would be a big event, and Your Majesty would call on his close ministers to accompany him to the summit. Of course, the harem would also invite Their families are accompanying them.”

Su Xinyi nodded slightly. Those who can be summoned by His Majesty are all close and important ministers. In the previous life, the Prince of Pingjing County was summoned by His Majesty once. The Princess of Pingjing County and Shang Yuqing had to show off in front of her countless times. These two ministers It's a great honor.

"Most of the time, His Majesty does not invite courtiers. Instead, he walks with everyone in the harem, climbs mountains to look up, and holds palace banquets. This festival is over."

Su Xinyi smiled and asked, "I wonder if my father will have any decree this year?"

The Queen nodded, "We will still hold a family banquet this year."

It would be much easier if Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The queen is getting older now and is not as energetic as she was when she was young. Mountain climbing is no longer a pleasant thing for her, so it is natural to hold a family banquet without leaving the palace.

"This year's family banquet will be held at the Great Yuqing Pond according to the rules. Going up to the Yuqing Tower as usual will be considered as climbing." The queen said with a smile.

The Yuqing Tower is built on a rockery and is three stories high. It is the highest place in the harem. The steps carved on the rockery are winding and rotating, and the terrain is steep and handsome. If you don't leave the palace, it is indeed a good place to climb.

After listening to the Queen's words, Su Xinyi had already made plans in her mind on how to arrange the banquet. Then she went over the accounts given to her by the Queen, gave a few instructions to Aunt Zhao, and asked in detail about the Double Ninth Festival in previous years.

After receiving the Queen's instructions, Aunt Zhao naturally told her everything, and the matter was soon settled. Then the imperial dining room will issue the meal list, and the inner court will arrange the banquet dishes, tables, chairs, incense and other matters at the Yuqing Tower.

The palace rules are complicated, and there are many banquets a year. There are certain rules about what wine pots and glasses to use for each banquet, what dishes and cups to put out, and what dishes to eat on the meal list.

Su Xinyi had a lot of hard work when he first learned it. Others only saw the glory of being in charge of the affairs of the Sixth House, but they didn't know the hard work behind this glory.

After returning to the East Palace, the prince did not come back for lunch. He has been so busy recently that most of the time the prince will not come back for lunch. Moreover, His Majesty has recently asked the prince to participate in more and more government affairs, so time is naturally tighter. .

After lunch, Su Xinyi took no time to rest and went over the Double Ninth Festival matters in the East Palace carefully. He considered everything carefully. When he felt a little tired, Su Yi arrived.

She got up and changed her clothes, washed her face to refresh herself, applied a thin layer of powder on the mirror, and saw that the expression of the person in the mirror was as usual again, then she went to the main hall.

As soon as the two brothers and sisters met, Su Yi was polite according to the rules. Su Xinyi said: "Brother, there are no outsiders here. We, our own brothers and sisters, don't be too polite."

Su Yi shook his head, the courtesy cannot be discarded.

After the two sat down, Su Xinyi looked at her eldest brother carefully this time. Not only was he darker and thinner, but she always felt that his eyes were much sharper than before. She asked with a smile: "Brother is going south this time, it seems. There’s a lot to gain.”

Su Yi smiled and said, "Going out for a walk is indeed better than staying in one world."

Su Xinyi agreed with this and said with a smile: "I think it's good for my family to let Third Brother and the others go to Huaining this time. It's better to go out and have a look than to stay in the capital."

Speaking of this matter, Su Yi thought it was feasible. He looked at Xin Yi and hesitated before speaking, "The second brother is still in Suizhou. I didn't know where he went until I received his letter last time."

"Brother, what's going on over there in Suizhou?" Su Xinyi looked at Su Yi's expression and asked.

"It's hard to say now. The granary case may have some involvement with Suizhou, but the evidence is not yet certain."

Um?

Su Xinyi's expression became serious, "How can the granary case be related to Suizhou?"

Su Yi said: "When I followed His Highness Prince Rong south, and then received the order to raise food, I raised food on the spot. Only then did I find that many local granaries were empty. You should know this."

Su Xinyi nodded, "I heard His Highness the Crown Prince say that I remember that my eldest brother discovered the shortage of granaries when he was raising grain in Nanshang Mansion. Nanshang Mansion is still some distance from Suizhou."

"It's not just Nanshang. Huishan Mansion is not far to the north, Huiqi Mansion is further down, and Yuning Mansion is further south from Huiqi." Su Yi said while thinking, "You know, Huiqi is you Although my sister-in-law’s natal family is located away from home on business, I still have to visit her when I pass through Huiqi.”

Su Xinyi nodded, "It should be."

He passed by his father-in-law's door and didn't come to the door. I'm afraid the son-in-law didn't want to do it anymore.

Su Yi looked at her sister, "My father-in-law knew that I was investigating the granary case and reminded me that Nanshang Mansion, Huishan Mansion, Yuning Mansion and Cangnan Mansion are closely related."

Su Xinyi was shocked by these words and said hesitantly: "Uncle Zeng actually said that. My sister-in-law told me before that Princess Yi invited Aunt Zeng to Suizhou for the Double Ninth Festival. Brother, Aunt Zeng is the aunt of Princess Yi's cousin. Do you know the matter?"

Su Yi said: "She's not a direct cousin, but a distant relative. If we really talk about it, she's almost going to be on the fifth server. When I went to Huiqi, my mother-in-law also told me about this matter."

Su Xinyi was quite surprised, so she looked at her eldest brother and said, "I didn't expect Uncle Zeng and Aunt Zeng to treat our family with sincerity."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Yes, so I will definitely visit you when you pass by."

"Since they are cousins ​​who are about to be released in the fifth server, this relationship is not close, but Princess Yi suddenly uses this point to talk about relatives. Brother, don't you think it's a little strange?"

Su Yike knew that she was a girl with many eyes, so when she heard what she said, she subconsciously said, "It's really strange."

After saying this, he was a little annoyed. He was no longer the stupid self he was back then. Why did he still jump into the pit of Sixth Sister when he talked to her?

Su Xinyi looked at her elder brother's somewhat troubled expression and asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Su Yi:......

Can he say that the shadow you cast on me is too deep? If told, the brother and sister might not be able to do it.

He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Don't worry, my mother-in-law declined the invitation from Prince Yi's Mansion due to poor health, and in order to avoid social interactions in the back house, she decided to come to the capital to visit my sister-in-law and your nephew. "

Su Xinyi looked at her eldest brother, "Brother, you are really looking for someone from the Yue family."

Although the two families were married, there were many plots against each other, many people fell out for the sake of profit, and many people helped each other, but not many were as decisive as the Zeng family.

It seems that the Zeng family has no intention of having any dealings with Prince Yi's Mansion, and Uncle Zeng also reminded his eldest brother of the granary case. Su Xinyi felt that the Zeng family was not only capable of dealing with it, but Uncle Zeng was also a bit powerful.

When my grandfather insisted on marrying into the Zeng family, he really didn't make a mistake.

She now thinks back to the situation in her previous life. Although her eldest brother has not changed his behavior in this life, he did feel depressed at home for a period of time after he was tricked into losing his official position. After her sister-in-law made changes at home, she seemed to slowly... He stood still.

The details are not very clear, because she had too much time to take care of herself at that time, but nothing major happened to her eldest brother, which shows that she ran the family well.

Su Xinyi looked at his eldest brother, he was a lucky man.

Su Yi subconsciously touched his face. The look in Sixth Sister's eyes made him feel a little scared.

Su Xinyi didn't notice anything wrong with her eyes. She just envied her elder brother. Finding the right partner in life is a very happy thing. "Brother, you have to treat your sister-in-law well. Uncle great-grandfather is so wise, if you are sorry Sister-in-law, there must be a way to deal with you."

Su Yi:......

I can’t have this sister anymore.

After teasing, Su Xinyi returned to the topic, "Brother, do you think the Yuning Mansion was involved in the granary incident this time?"

Su Yi took a breath and then spoke slowly, "We can still get a feel for Nanshang and Huishan, but it's very difficult in Yuning."

"Brother, Uncle Zeng asked Aunt Zeng to pretend to be sick to avoid the invitation from Prince Yi's Mansion. Do you think this matter has anything to do with Prince Yi's Mansion?" Su Xinyi said after thinking.

"There is no evidence." Su Yi looked at her sister and said, "Prince Yi's Mansion has deep roots in Suizhou. It is not easy to find out anything. Moreover, these are just guesses, let alone alarming the snake. If you guess wrong and slander a prince, there will be consequences. It’s not something you can bear easily.”

Su Xinyi nodded, "So the eldest brother is here to discuss this matter with His Highness?"

"Yes, when I replied in front of His Majesty, because there was no real evidence, I didn't even mention a word from Prince Yi's Mansion. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I can't give up just because there is no evidence. How can I have evidence if I don't investigate? But Yi If the king does not move in Suizhou, it will be difficult for him to make a move."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "His Royal Highness previously said that King Yi would come back to attend the weddings of several princes."

Su Yi's eyes also lit up.

The two siblings looked at each other, and before they could say anything, the prince strode in.

Su Yi hurriedly stood up to greet him, and Su Xinyi also stood up.

The prince asked Su Yi to sit down, then looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? I'm happy to see your faces?"

Su Xinyi asked the prince to sit down, briefly talked about the previous conversation with his brother, and then looked at His Highness, "Your Highness, did you have the intention to move the tiger away from the mountain at that time?"

His Highness must have thought of this a long time ago, but she was a little surprised. When did His Highness suspect King Yi?
