Once the Crown Prince Joins In

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Because of the heavy snowfall, Su Xinyi and his party, as well as people from the Changnan Hou Mansion, stayed overnight at Daling Temple, so they all had dinner together in the evening. newᴄᴏᴍ

Su Xinyi looked at the attitude of Mrs. Changnanhou, and then looked at Su Jingmo who seemed to be satisfied with Dong Zhiwei. The two families had dinner together in the evening. Although Dong Zhiwei was the prince, he took good care of everyone. Su Xinyi felt that such a person was also very considerate. It's hard to be unsatisfactory. As an object of admiration, it's only nine points if not ten points.

Su Jingmo and Su Xinyi slept in the same room at night. After washing, they sat together and talked.

Su Xinyi listened to Su Jingmo and said: "Xiao Liu, do you think it's strange or not? I felt very pleasing to the eye the first time I saw him. I originally wanted to find fault with him, but in the end I found him pleasing to the eye."

Su Xinyi:......

Because you were husband and wife in your previous life, and this is fate for many lifetimes.

"What do you mean by liking?"

"Hey, I feel like it's hard for me to lose my temper with him. He has such a good temper and always smiles at me. How can he be angry?"

Su Xinyi didn't know what it felt like to like someone, but she knew what it felt like to want to kill someone.

I'm afraid that her fourth sister doesn't dare to know, hum!

Su Jingmo rolled on the bed with the quilt in her arms. Su Xinyi was startled by the look of joy on her face. Was she so happy if she liked someone?

Su Jingmo sighed softly, "Xiao Liu, I tell you secretly, don't let my mother know. I finally understand why my father is so good to Aunt Weng. If I think about it differently, if I were my father , if Dong Zhiwei were Aunt Weng, then I would also want to be nice to him, he will always be on the top of my heart."

Su Xinyi:......

It's over, Su Jingmo is crazy!

"If Third Auntie finds out, prepare to beat you out of here, this evil girl, with a stick." Su Xinyi said.

"So I said you must not let my mother know, and don't sue me." Su Jingmo said and felt happy again, "They say you are as gentle as water, but I don't know what it is, I just know When I lose my temper, it’s a storm, but I think I understand what it means today.”

When Dong Zhiwei looked at her and smiled, she suddenly thought of these words. They were so appropriate.

Su Xinyi: Okay, got it, stop showing off!

When Su Xinyi got up the next day, she didn't see Su Jingmo, so she looked at Forsythia and asked, "Where is the fourth sister?"

Forsythia came in with a water basin and said with a smile: "Early in the morning, the prince came to invite the four girls to enjoy the snow."

Su Xinyi:......

All right.

When Su Xinyi was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, she looked at the dark circles under her eyes and thought about Su Jingmo, who had never been able to get up early. He spent the whole night showing off to her last night, but he was still able to get up and follow her the next morning. People go to enjoy the snow...

Could it be that liking someone has such great power to make such a big change in another person?

Su Xinyi didn't quite understand. After she washed up, she went to find her aunt and the others. When she saw her, her eldest aunt smiled and waved, "Xinyi, come sit here and have breakfast together later."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Auntie, you slept well last night. Although the mountain temple is clean, it is not as good as home."

The eldest lady heard Su Xinyi's concern and said: "It doesn't matter if it's just one night. The snow will stop this morning. Let's go down the mountain and go home after lunch."

Su Xinyi nodded to express his understanding. As he was talking, the third lady and Mrs. Xiang also arrived. Su Xinyi hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Mrs. Xiang grabbed Su Xinyi, held her hand and said with a smile: "They are all from her family. The more I see the sixth girl, the more I like her. I wish I could take her home."

Su Xinyi did not understand the meaning of these words, but the eldest lady did. Mrs. Xiang was interested in Xinyi and wanted to take her back to be her daughter-in-law. This was not something she could decide. She pretended not to hear it and laughed. Then he said: "The weather has cleared up today and everyone's heart has brightened up. Let's go for a walk after dinner."

Mrs. Xiang made it clear to her sister-in-law last night that Su Xinyi was on the list to run for the Crown Princess. However, Mrs. Xiang was not worried at all. The position of the Crown Princess was not suitable for the sixth girl. The sixth girl grew up in the countryside. A little, I'm afraid the people in the palace won't nod.

She waited for the sixth girl to lose the election, and then she could go to her sister-in-law's place to drum up some interest. If the Duke's Mansion was interested, everyone could look at each other.

What's wrong with the girl who grew up in the country? Yesterday, she had been observing the sixth girl. This child really didn't look like she grew up in the country. Her demeanor seemed to be the same as that of a lady who had been carefully taught in Beijing since she was a child.

I have to say that there is a saying that goes well, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, a mouse's son can dig holes, and the children of people like Mr. Su are no different.

Since Mrs. Xiang had this intention, her attitude towards Su Xinyi became even more cordial. She really looked at what was best.

When the girls outside were preparing to prepare the meal, Dong Zhiwei sent Su Jingmo back and came in to say hello to the elders before returning to his house next door. Before leaving, he said that he would show the way to the temple for the elders after breakfast. Check out the scenery.

The third lady couldn't close her mouth. She had to be strong all her life. Because of Aunt Weng, she always felt inferior to others, but now this future son-in-law has given her a lot of face.

Su Jingmo sat down next to Su Xinyi, and the family gathered around to eat. Su Xinyi did not let the girl wait on her, but got up to serve the elders. Su Jingmo also helped as soon as he saw it.

Mrs. Xiang felt happy when she saw her. This child was really considerate and considerate. If she really became her daughter-in-law, she would have no problem supporting the family.

Although the Xiang family is not a noble family, it is still a scholarly family. Her husband is a minister of Dali Temple, and the eldest son has already won the imperial examination. At his age, he is worthy of being said to be young and promising.

The sixth girl was made the head of Yong'an County by His Majesty. It seems that his son is a bit high-spirited, but really speaking, although the sixth girl is listed in the name of the fourth lady, she is indeed a concubine. However, she does not care about this and just looks at the child. very nice.

"Madam, the kitchen is here to bring extra food." Mother Sun next to the eldest lady raised the curtain and came in to reply.

"Additional food?" The eldest lady was a little surprised. They didn't ask for more food. "What's going on?"

Mother Sun immediately said: "It was sent from His Highness the Prince."

The whole table was stunned. They knew about the meeting between His Highness the Crown Prince and Xin Yi yesterday. Because Xin Yi and His Highness the Crown Prince had frequent contacts due to official business, everyone didn’t think much about it. Even after Xin Yi came back, they didn’t ask much, and the Crown Prince His Highness is a person in the clouds. This time, there was no man from the family accompanying him, so he did not go to visit.

Who would have thought that His Highness the Prince would give them extra dishes for breakfast.

The eldest lady came to her senses first, looked at Mother Sun and asked, "Who sent it?"

"It's the little novice from the kitchen." Mother Sun said immediately.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not the person next to His Royal Highness, so she hurriedly said: "Please come in quickly."

The little novice monk carried a three-layered food box, bowed to everyone when he came in, and then said: "Excuse me, female benefactors, the kitchen has prepared a few more vegetarian dishes this morning. After your highness eats well, let me I gave a box to all the guests in the temple.”

It turned out that it was not their family. The eldest lady and others were relieved, smiled and thanked them, and the young novice put down the food box and left.

Su Xinyi stretched out her hand to open the food box. There were three layers in total, with one dish on each layer. She took it out and put it on the table. Seeing that it was indeed a fresh dish, she heard Mrs. Xiang say: "This is Luohan Zhai, this dish temple." It’s rare to make it here. This dish looks simple, but there are more than a dozen kinds of side dishes, especially in this winter, it’s even more rare.”

The eldest lady took a look at it and said with a smile: "It is indeed Daling Temple's signature dish. This dish is mostly made in summer."

Su Xinyi saw Luohanzhai for the first time. Hearing what everyone said, he looked at the plate and counted a dozen kinds of side dishes, such as mountain mushrooms and the like. These things are eaten by the Daling Temple. It’s easy to get, but shredded cucumbers, day lilies, and even two fresh vegetables are hard to come by.

In winter, it’s not easy for the Duke’s Mansion to eat fresh vegetables. This is because there is a greenhouse on the farm to provide it. This dish is indeed an expensive dish for breakfast here in Daling Temple.

Su Jingmo secretly poked Su Xinyi and said in a low voice: "Xiao Liu, His Royal Highness is so kind. It's worth your praise every time. Luo Han Zhai is indeed delicious. I'll stay here for a few more days in the summer." , eat every day.”

Su Xinyi:......

Just know how to eat.

However, the fourth sister was right, it was delicious.

Because of the extra dishes, the eldest lady and the others couldn't help but mention the prince. When talking about His Highness, they would talk about the recent lively selection of the prince concubine.

The third lady said: "The Crown Princess looks at the scenery, but this seat is not easy to sit in. The one in the palace has his own son, and he encourages his own son and the Crown Prince to fight for this and that. Anyone who is stupid would do this. The location, I don’t know if I can wait until the day of glory.”

"Third brother and sister, be careful what you say." The eldest lady hurriedly sent the waiter away, "It's not easy to say these things outside."

The third lady immediately said: "Sister-in-law, there are no outsiders here. Tell me what happened. Am I not telling the truth?"

Mrs. Xiang looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Madam, it's for your own good. We can just talk among our own families. We can't talk nonsense outside."

The third lady could still say something to the eldest lady, but she respected her sister-in-law very much, and immediately said: "I know, I won't talk nonsense, and what I say is also the truth."

Mrs. Xiang smiled when she heard this, "As you know, everyone in the capital doesn't know, but the names on the roster are not full yet. It doesn't matter what the person in the palace is thinking. What matters is His Majesty. The prince has been in front of the emperor for so many years. When he is on duty, His Majesty has great trust in him, and that is enough."

The eldest lady also agreed with Madam Xiang's words and nodded, and then added smoothly, "Although the Queen will intervene in the selection of the Crown Princess, the selection of the Crown Princess is not a trivial matter. In the end, His Majesty's nod is not required, so let's not worry about that. , anyway, our girl is just going through the motions."

Mrs. Xiang was delighted when she heard this. Her sister-in-law was right. It seemed that the daughter-in-law she had chosen had hope.

After breakfast and drinking tea, Dong Zhiwei arrived outside.

Su Xinyi and Su Jingmo went out with the elders, and Mrs. Changnan Hou was also outside. They went over to see the ceremony, and then everyone gathered together to watch the snow scene at Daling Temple in the sunshine.

Halfway through, I met the abbot of the temple who came over. Since you are all the big patrons of the temple who add money to the fragrant oil every year, you came here to say hello.

When Su Xinyi arrived yesterday, she didn't see the host. This was the first time she saw him. He had a kind face and kind eyes, and his smile made people feel friendly. However, his smile was a bit attentive, which made Su Xinyi look a little weird.

But then I thought about the amount of money that their family donated to Daling Temple every year, at least a few thousand taels, so it made sense to be more diligent.

The host was chatting with everyone over there, and Su Jingmo poked Su Xinyi's arm, "Xiao Liu, do you see His Royal Highness over there?"

Su Xinyi looked in the direction Su Jingmo pointed, and the first thing she saw was Yang Jin's familiar face. He was walking in a hurry. The person next to him was dressed in black clothes, and the golden embroidery thread on the corners of the fluttering robe was shining in the sun. The sky was shining brightly, and Su Xinyi only saw a back figure, which disappeared in an instant.

"Yes." Su Xinyi nodded.

Su Jingmo said: "You look so anxious, is there something going on with His Highness?"

Su Xinyi didn't know. Could it be something related to Yulin Guard? Probably not. If there is news over there, His Highness will send a message to her.

"I do not know then."

"His Royal Highness is so powerful. Even if something happens, he will settle it. Let's go hiking." Su Jingmo grabbed Su Xinyi and said.

The mountain of Daling Temple is not very high, and there are stone pavilions for resting all the way to the top. After walking and resting, we reached the top of the mountain in half an afternoon.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the magnificent palace of Daling Temple stretching all the way down the mountain. It is sunny today, and there is a long queue of pilgrims' carriages at the mountain gate.

Su Jingmo and Dong Zhiwei were wandering on the top of the mountain. Several elders were resting in the pavilion. There was also a small hall on the top of the mountain, with only three rooms. The Buddha statue was enshrined in the middle. The small room to the east was a Zen room for rest, and the west side was a small tea room. Pilgrims provide tea for use.

Su Xinyi had nothing to do and didn't want to go to Su Jingmo's place to disturb the two of them, so he simply went to the palace. She raised her head and looked up to see which Buddha it was. She was not a devout Buddhist, so she didn't know it. She walked around the temple and found that there was a lottery box in the corner, and an old monk was sitting at the table and taking a nap. .

She was about to walk away when she heard the old monk suddenly speak, "It's fate that the donor comes in. Why don't you come and have a divination?"

Su Xinyi wondered what was wrong with Daling Temple. First she made a fuji, and now she asked for a signature. She was about to refuse, but she heard the old monk say again: "The donor is a person who has a connection with Buddha."

Su Xinyi was stunned and suddenly remembered his rebirth. As soon as his mind changed, he looked at the old monk and said with a smile: "Master, if you want to say this, I can't just leave. Then I'll ask for a fortune, and I'll bother you to give it to me." Explain the signature."

The old monk pushed the lotus tube forward.

Su Xinyi smiled, reached out to pick up the lottery tube, calmed down, and then stretched out his hand to shake it.

Others shook the lottery tube vigorously, but she was a martial arts practitioner, so the strength in her hand was evened, and it took a long time to shake out one. I put down the tube and was about to pick up the signature when I saw the old monk had already reached out and picked it up.

"The peaches and plums thank the spring breeze, flying west and returning to the east. There is no emotion at home, and the boat is in the waves." The old monk read the signature in a calm and unhurried tone, which was very comfortable to people's ears.

Su Xinyi didn't hear the ugly Yinmao coming, so he looked at the great monk and asked, "Master, what's the meaning of this signature?"

The great monk raised his head and stared at Su Xinyi for a long time, and then said: "Peach blossoms and plum trees flourish in the beginning of spring and bloom in late spring. Therefore, spring is the time when peaches and plums grow from their peak to decline, and migratory birds also decline from their peak." Return to the original place of residence. Although people are calm as usual, the impact from the outside is relatively large, such as the hull of a ship in the waves. This sign tells the donor to be careful in everything and beware of all sudden changes."

Su Xinyi was stunned, a sudden change?

Could it be Yulinwei's side?

Her heart suddenly rose. She was already anxious because there was no news from her cousin, but now she was even more worried.

Su Xinyi's thoughts lingered in her mind, but she heard the great monk whisper again, "Everything revives in spring, and all life is like this. Donor, Buddha's fate is not easy to come by, you need to cherish it."

Su Xinyi's heart trembled, and when she was about to ask for more information, she saw that the great monk had closed his eyes and seemed to be ignoring people, so she had to give up.

But as soon as the words "All things revive, all life" came to mind, her heart beat faster. After taking a few steps and looking back, she saw that the old monk had left, and there was nothing in front of the shabby table except for The sign tube is on it, which gives it a rather bleak feel.

If the previous interpretation hadn't been true, she would have thought it was just a dream.

Su Xinyi calmed down. These great monks might be fooling themselves with their blabbering. Who would believe someone who has never experienced rebirth?

Maybe the great monk was trying to get some money for sesame oil.

Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, she walked out and stood in the sunshine. Although the sunshine on her face was cold in winter, it calmed her heart.

"Xiao Liu, we are going down the mountain."

Su Xinyi heard Su Jingmo's voice and hurriedly walked over.

At noon, everyone had a lunch together, and then left the temple and went down the mountain. Dong Zhiwei put the group of them into the carriage, watched them leave, and then turned around and got into his own carriage.

The third lady could not be more satisfied and felt that this son-in-law could not run away.

On the other side, Mrs. Changnan Hou looked at her son in the carriage of the Changnan Marquis Mansion and asked, "What do you think of Miss Su Si?"

Dong Zhiwei listened to his mother's question and smiled and said, "Very good."

Mrs. Changnan Hou looked at her son with a dumbfounded look, "I'm picking a wife for you, but you're here to fool me. Tell the truth, do you like it or not? If you like it, you can find someone to make a decision later. If you don't like it, we have to settle with someone." Let’s talk carefully and don’t delay Miss Su Si’s marriage.”

Dong Zhiwei raised his eyes to look at his mother and shook his head helplessly, "You are really... My son thinks that although Miss Su Si looks shrewd, her temperament is a bit simple, and she speaks straightforwardly, does things neatly, and has a generous temperament. He thinks it is very good. "

Mrs. Changnan Hou smiled when she heard this, "It's good that you think so. Mom also thinks that Miss Su Si is good. You can see that she is very natural when getting along with Miss Su Liu, and the sisters get along well with each other. You must know that Su Liu The girl was found from the countryside. How could a high-spirited girl like her? From this point of view, we can see that Miss Su Si is tolerant. In a family like ours, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are the future. As a wife of a clan, she is most afraid of not being able to accommodate others, and she is also afraid of not being able to save face and not having the courage to do things. I like Miss Su Si’s temperament, and if you like her too, then everyone will be happy."

Dong Zhiwei coughed slightly, looking a little uncomfortable, "Mom, please don't say that Miss Su Liu came from the countryside in the future. Now she is the head of Yong'an County personally appointed by His Majesty, and she is extremely tough. Don't look at her... She is very well-behaved in front of you. Back then, she bravely broke into the Duke of Qin's palace alone and forced the prince of Qin to write a letter of divorce, and now there is no Duke of Qin's palace."

Mrs. Changnanhou didn't take it seriously, looked at her son and said: "What does this matter have to do with the sixth girl? Although her temper is indeed a bit tough, what the Shi family did is not authentic. That child of Bai Wei, I I have seen the most honest, virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law. It is a pity to marry into their family. If only you were a few years older, someone like Bai Wei would have been my favorite daughter-in-law a few years ago."

Dong Zhiwei couldn't tell her mother off, so she only said: "That's what you said."

Mrs. Changnan Hou saw her son's uncomfortable look, and suddenly said: "Oh, I know, mother, you are afraid that if you marry Miss Su Si, if you do something wrong to that girl in the future, you will be afraid." Miss Six comes to settle a score with you."

Dong Zhiwei:......

Mrs. Changnan Hou laughed when she saw her son's embarrassed expression. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and joked, "If this is the case, the marriage must be completed. With such a powerful aunt watching over me, I won't be afraid." You're going the wrong way."

Dong Zhi took a breath, this is really his mother!

Madam Hou Changnan then sighed again, "It's a pity that I don't have a second biological son, otherwise I would have asked the sixth girl to marry me. Your concubines are not worthy of me."

Dong Zhiwei held his head slightly, there was no way to talk today.

Her mother loved the girl from the Su family so much that she wished she could have another child, which would be more than ten years too late.

Mrs. Changnanhou looked at her son, smiled and said nothing. Her son only looked at Miss Su Si for her temperament and appearance, but she looked at her daughter-in-law for much more.

It is not an easy thing for Miss Su Liu to be called over by His Highness the Crown Prince to speak alone.

The Marquis of their family had accepted Queen Pei's love and avoided a catastrophe in the early years, which was regarded as a life-saving grace, so he took good care of the prince. When the prince grew up, he secretly worked for the prince. She learned from the Marquis's words I know what kind of temperament His Highness the Crown Prince is.

And after returning to Beijing, she also inquired about some things between the prince and Miss Su Liu, and she always felt that it was not simple.

She has long been interested in this marriage, but if the daughter-in-law's natal family has a good relationship with the East Palace, this will naturally be a good thing for their family.

I heard that the Sixth Girl was also on the list to choose the Crown Princess. Although it is unlikely that she will be selected as the Crown Princess, what if she gets lucky?

It's hard to say this kind of thing.

After all, there were so many famous ladies in the capital, but none of them had the ability to be summoned by His Highness the Crown Prince alone.

Here comes six thousand words, everyone has been waiting for a long time, okay?
