Once the Crown Prince Joins In

"Ninth brother and sister, sit down and talk. How can I blame you? It's still early in the auspicious time, and you are not too late." Su Xinyi said with a smile, and waited for You Xiangzhe to take a seat before continuing, "Speaking of I have met Aunt Fu a few times, and I know that she made mistakes before and was punished. I wonder if she is okay now?"

You Xiangzhe's eyes flashed when she heard this. Before she could speak, she heard Princess Wu speak first.

"The Crown Princess and the Ninth Brothers and Sisters are sisters-in-law. She cares so much about a concubine, but it only makes her look bad. Doesn't this embarrass the Ninth Brothers and Sisters?"

Su Xinyi remembered that Concubine Ming had also sent beauties to King Wu before. Regardless of whether Ji Yun liked King Wu or not, Concubine Ming's doing this was tantamount to a slap in her face. No wonder she was upset.

Tu Jingjia rarely spoke, but this time she still spoke in a gentle and gentle tone: "There is something you don't know, third sister-in-law. Aunt Fu came back from Ding'an Guard with Prince Xiang, and she was helpful to Prince Xiang. She and the prince My concubine has been with me all the way, so I only ask this question."

Of course Ji Yun knew about this. She looked at Tu Jingjia and smiled, "Sixth brother and sister, if you have a favored concubine in your house and others care about this concubine, would you feel comfortable?"

Tu Jingjia looked at Ji Yun and said: "Our prince has not taken a concubine yet, but my father has an aunt named Zhang who died in childbirth. My mother raised Aunt Zhang's son as her own. When Aunt Zhang was alive, She treated my mother very respectfully. Now that my third brother is married and has a child, people sometimes ask about Aunt Zhang, but my mother doesn’t think there is anything wrong. I think it would probably be the same if it were me. .”

Su Xinyi raised his eyes and looked at Tu Jingjia, who was also a talkative person.

But can Aunt Zhang be compared with Fu Yun?

Aunt Zhang is Mrs. Tu's personal maid, and the relationship between master and servant has been there for more than ten years. Moreover, Aunt Zhang has been very respectful to Mrs. Tu from the beginning to the end and has never exceeded the rules, but is Aunt Fu?

Of course Fuyun is not such a person.

But from the perspective that they were all concubines, Tu Jingjia's answer was quite clever, completely avoiding the point and painting a big cake on the side.

It turns out you are like this Tu Jingjia.

Ji Yun's face turned dark at that time, "Sixth brother and sister are really good at talking. Since you are so generous, I will send a beauty to my sixth brother later. What do you think?"

Su Xinyi knew that this was not a good idea for everyone present, so she said directly: "The third brother and sister's kindness, I will personally mention it to the Concubine Xian later."

King Jing is the son of Concubine Qi Xian, and he is not the brother of the same mother as King Wu. If Concubine Ruan Ming is compared with Concubine Qi Xian, Concubine Qi Xian is slightly better. Where does Ji Yun have the courage to say such things directly? ?

Her words not only caused trouble for Concubine Ruan Ming, but also stepped on Concubine Qi Xian's face. It was really powerful.

Sure enough, when Su Xinyi mentioned Concubine Qi Xian, Ji Yun immediately shut up.

Tu Jingjia was slightly relieved. She was really afraid that Ji Yun would turn around and send someone to Prince Jing's Mansion. This would be really difficult to do.

Who would have thought that Princess Wu is so careless in what she says and does now? A new daughter-in-law has to keep her head down and live a low life for three years after she enters the house. This one is quite good. She has already caused a lot of troubles since she got married.

Zhu Chanyi rolled her eyes inwardly, she even gave King Jing a beauty, but you, a sister-in-law, gave it to your brother-in-law?

I'm not afraid that outsiders will laugh out loud, but I dare to say it.

After hearing this quarrel, You Xiangzhi no longer spoke easily, and only pretended to drink the tea.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for guests to come for the wedding banquet one after another. Knowing that people like Su Xinyi were here, they would inevitably come to see them. Su Xinyi and the others couldn't stay away for a while, so they simply went out to meet everyone. .

Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Han saw that Su Xinyi was as close as before. Su Xinyi listened to Mrs. Jiang saying that Jiang Ruolan, who married into the Yue family, was living a good life now and would have a child in a few months. Su Xinyi was very happy.

Wang Yingyao did not marry her husband's family far away in the capital, but her husband was still just a commoner, and he would have to endure hardship if he wanted to get ahead.

Han Wenyin was married to a Hanlin editor and lived a leisurely life. Her parents-in-law's family had a good life, and she could live a stable life without seeking wealth.

The husbands of Han Wenyin and Wang Yingyao had low official positions and were not qualified to attend the palace banquet. Su Xinyi could only invite her to the East Palace or visit her if she wanted to meet someone.

But no matter which one it is, it is not suitable for the two of them based on their current status, so it is not easy to meet even though they are both in the capital.

Su Xinyi thought that in a year or two, when her position was stable, she would not have so many concerns about meeting her friends.

Not only did she have concerns, but she also had to consider the position of the husband's family they were marrying into. If the family's position with the prince was a bit delicate, it would not be a good thing if the daughter-in-law had too much contact with the prince.

After getting married, things will always be different from when you were in a boudoir.

Mrs. Jiang blinked at Su Xinyi, and Su Xinyi nodded knowingly, and moved slightly to the side with her. Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "The marriage has been successfully resolved. Thank you Crown Princess this time."

Su Xinyi understood that Mrs. Jiang knew that His Majesty had entrusted this matter to her, so she smiled and said: "I am just talking, but Madam has worked a lot hard, and now it is as expected. I hope that the second young master can have a good relationship in the future. Get well soon.”

Jiang Zhongqing got married a few days ago, and Su Xinyi did not send any congratulatory gifts. It was not good for a princess to have such contact with the courtiers and their families, so they could only exchange a few words when they met on weekdays.

Mrs. Jiang thanked her, and left without saying anything more to the Crown Princess in full view of everyone, and left with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang walked forward, and Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xiang came behind.

"Aunt, Mrs. Xiang." Su Xinyi was very happy to see the two of them. Seeing that the other princesses were also talking to their relatives and friends, she stayed aside to talk with them.

Mrs. Gao looked at Su Xinyi, and then said with a smile: "I heard from your mother that you look very good, but now I feel relieved when I see it with my own eyes."

Su Xinyi greeted her uncle and grandfather again, and felt relieved after knowing that both of them were in good health.

Mrs. Xiang also has a good relationship with Su Xinyi because of the relationship with the third wife. At this time, Mrs. Xiang listened to the two talking and thought to herself that the Crown Princess was really well-rounded. The Gao family, who had not been back a few times, could let her be like this. Thinking about it, he is a person who has a heart to remember his gratitude.

Mrs. Xiang knew that Mrs. Jiang's matter had been resolved, and she had nothing private to say with Su Xinyi at this time. She greeted her, said a few words about home matters, and then went to talk to others.

Mrs. Gao said softly: "Your cousin mentioned you before and knew that you were doing well in the East Palace."

"I just met Mrs. Wang and mentioned my cousin to her. Now my cousin is safe and sound in the Wang family." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Mrs. Gao said: "You don't have to go out of your way to mention your cousin to Mrs. Wang. Since you became the Crown Princess, Mrs. Wang has treated your cousin more kindly than before. It's all thanks to you."

"Auntie, please don't say that. It's my cousin who makes me likeable. It's hard to meet her now, but it will be much easier in the coming year." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

"You don't have to worry about them. They are all a family. Whenever we meet, it will not affect the friendship between us. You are better than anything else. You are good and safe." Mrs. Gao warned carefully, looking at Wu An over there. Mrs. Hou came over, and Mrs. Gao stopped walking again.

Mrs. Wu'anhou's attitude towards the East Palace is disgusting. What good can she say if she comes here now?

"Looking from a distance, she is the Crown Princess, and it turns out she is." Mrs. Wu Anhou raised her head slightly and looked at Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi glanced at Mrs. Wu Anhou, and then at Pei Nianwei, who was following her with a pale expression. The smile on her face did not change, and she said slowly: "Madam, you have such good eyesight. How are you doing lately, Madam?"

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not close to the Wu'anhou Mansion, Mrs. Wu'anhou is his aunt after all, and at least the superficial relationship must be maintained.

Mrs. Wu Anhou wanted to get angry when she heard Su Xinyi's words, but she suppressed it and said calmly: "Thanks to God's blessing, it's good to thank the Crown Princess for thinking about her."

Mrs. Gao frowned slightly, what are these words?

"Mrs. Hou must cherish the blessings received from heaven." Mrs. Gao said coldly, "People should cherish blessings when they are blessed."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for what Mrs. Wu Anhou was saying, she said directly to Su Xinyi: "Princess, it's better to go and take a rest first. It's not good for you to stand and talk like this now."

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded at Mrs. Wu Anhou, and said, "Madam, please sit down. Thank you for coming to have a wedding banquet today. I must go back having a great time."

If this wasn't the Su family's wedding banquet, and she couldn't overturn her own table, Su Xinyi would have been able to push her back as she said before. This family has a human appearance and can't do anything about human affairs, so they still have the nerve to point fingers?

Looking at the backs of Su Xinyi and Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Wu Anhou sneered and said to her daughter: "Look at that villain's triumphant look. If you hadn't failed to live up to the expectations, where would she be in the spotlight now?"

Pei Nianwei has heard such words too many times, and it still feels harsh when she hears them. She gritted her teeth and could not hold back, and said: "You have gone to great lengths to send You Xiangzhi to be Princess Xiang, but how can she repay you?" ? Instead of teaching your daughter a lesson here, why not go to Princess Xiang and talk about family ties?"

Pei Nianwei was really fed up. Ever since she couldn't enter the East Palace, her family members treated her like a world apart. She had endured all this, but she couldn't bear the fact that they still ridiculed her.

Don’t you have high hopes for You Xiangzhi?

It's a pity that after borrowing the threshold of their home, now they only care about their parents, not their aunt.

Pei Nianwei turned around and left. She didn't want to come today, but her mother insisted on her coming and she didn't know why.

Mrs. Wu'an's face turned dark with anger, and it was not easy to shout and stop people on such occasions, so she could only watch her daughter go outside and sulk alone.

Su Xinyi was surprised to see Li Yan's wife, Concubine Li's younger siblings, which was strange.

When Mrs. Li Er saw Su Xinyi, she took the initiative to come over and say hello, "I have met the Crown Princess."

"Mrs. Li, you don't need to be polite." Su Xinyi said with a smile as the visitor was a guest.

Following Mrs. Li was Li Qingyi. When they met again, Li Qingyi felt a lot of emotion in her heart, "I haven't seen the Crown Princess for a long time, and meeting the Crown Princess today is just like before."

Su Xinyi felt a little strange. She felt the kindness from Li Qingyi, and she didn't have time to think too much, so she smiled and talked, "Yes, when we said goodbye, I missed the days when I met Miss Li very much."

When Mrs. Li Er saw her, she smiled and said, "Speaking of which, after Qingyi returned home, she praised the Crown Princess in front of the courtiers. Qingyi will also get married soon, so it will indeed be difficult to meet her in the future."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Miss Li's marriage has been decided? That's really congratulations."

Li Qingyi could sense the surprise and the sincerity of congratulations in Su Xinyi's words. She raised her eyebrows slightly, then raised her head and looked at her and said directly: "Thank you, Princess. Speaking of which, you may have heard of my future husband's family, although he is a small one." The family is from Shangjing together with Aunt Weng of your mansion, and is the Zeng family of Shangjing."

Su Xinyi was really surprised this time. Will Li Qingyi marry Shangjing?

Maybe she couldn't hide the surprise on her face for a while, so Li Qingyi lowered her voice and laughed: "The Crown Princess didn't expect it either, right?"

"I'm rude." Su Xinyi said immediately, "I don't know much about Shang Jing, but since Mr. Li and Mrs. Li are optimistic about him, he must be a young talent with a promising future."

Li Qingyi looked at Su Xinyi intently and said, "You are the first to tell me this. When others find out, they will only ridicule me for joining such a low-income family. Thank you."

Su Xinyi saw that Mrs. Li had quietly gone to the other side to talk to someone, obviously leaving a place for them to talk. She remembered that Li Qingyi had also given her a few words of care in the palace, and then said: "I know that Miss Li has always had ideas. He is also a smart man. Since he has made such a decision and agreed to this marriage, there must be something extraordinary about Mr. Zeng. A hero does not care about his origin, and a scholar will have a bright future. I look forward to it. I can see Miss Li again in the capital someday."

Li Qingyi's eyes turned slightly red when he heard this, then he lowered his head to cover it up and lowered his voice: "The Li family is different from the past. My father has some things he can't help himself. Princess, my uncle may have to return to Beijing." After saying this, Li Qingyi He immediately raised his voice and laughed: "I won't disturb the Crown Princess. I will go and catch up with some friends."

Su Xinyi suppressed the turmoil in her heart. What does it mean that Li Ji is returning to Beijing?

A person who has been exiled cannot be pardoned unless he is granted amnesty. How can he return to Beijing?

Why did Li Qingyi come to remind her?

She said before that the Li family was different from the past. Did she mean that there was internal strife within the Li family?

Su Xinyi's mind was spinning very fast, but no one could notice anything strange. Fortunately, the fourth lady came over at this moment, smiled at her and said: "It just so happens that your sisters are back, I will take you there and you sisters will also Let’s meet.”

The fourth lady saw something wrong with Xin Yi's expression from a distance, so she hurried over, fearing that she might feel uncomfortable.
