Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Su Xinyi had an average opinion of Fu Yun before, but thinking that the two of them would have little interaction, she actually didn't take her to heart.

After all, she was just a concubine of Prince Xiang, and even if she was tossing around, it would only be in the backyard of Prince Xiang's Mansion.

But now she doesn't think so. Fuyun has hooked up with Xu Yurong and Yan Qiongsi, and she can't think about it with a normal heart.

After hearing Xin Yi's words, Yan Junchu patted her hand and said, "You don't need to take action to touch her."

"you mean?"

"Prince Xiang has been making many moves in private during the period when I left Beijing, and Concubine Li has high hopes for her son. If Concubine Li knows that Fuyun has hindered Prince Xiang's reputation..."

"She's certainly not going to sit around and wait for this to happen."

Yan Junchu smiled and nodded slightly, "Why would such a villain dirty your hands?"

Su Xinyi:......

Since His Highness already had an idea, she naturally left it alone and said, "Then I'll wait for the good news."

"Yes." Yan Junchu responded with a smile and looked at Su Xinyi, "Just focus on the summer banquet now."

He is her crown princess, and when he takes that position in the future, she will be his queen. She is the one who wants the mother to honor the world, and her reputation must not be flawed.

A Yuan himself didn't care, but he did.

He knew that for him, Ayuan would protect him even if she gave up her own reputation, but he was her husband, so he naturally had to think carefully about her.

Yan Junchu went to the Mingguang Hall, called Huang Zhongsheng, looked at him and said: "It is important that everyone knows about the news that King Xiang is greedy for women and disrespects Concubine Li, and that Concubine Li angered Aunt Fu and caused her to have a miscarriage."

Huang Zhongsheng's eyes lit up. His Highness finally figured it out. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said seriously: "I will do it now. Your Majesty often said that filial piety is the basis, but His Highness Prince Xiang really went too far. It’s really outrageous that Concubine Li was humiliated like this by a concubine in the palace.”

Hearing the word insult, the corner of Yan Junchu's mouth twitched. Huang Zhongsheng really liked what he did, but he said: "There is no need to exaggerate, just be realistic."

Huang Zhongsheng listened to these words and sighed again in his heart. His Highness is really kind. King Xiang secretly colluded with the courtiers, but His Highness still spared this younger brother. However, His Highness is kind, and they who are the staff cannot.

"Your Highness, the summer banquet is coming soon, and this is an excellent opportunity. Wei Chen knows that you miss your brotherhood, but His Highness Prince Xiang does not take your brother to heart. Please forgive me for this matter. I cannot promise your highness." After Huang Zhongsheng finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, got up, turned around and left.

Yan Junchu looked at Huang Zhongsheng's back and smiled, it was good.

Huang Zhongsheng went to Wang Ce, and the two discussed how to do this. The two discussed excitedly for a long time. Wang Ce wrote in the study for a long time, and then left the East Palace with a book in his arms.

The next day, teahouses and restaurants everywhere in the capital, wherever there was a storyteller, were talking about a new book, and the incident in Prince Xiang's Mansion spread in the capital instantly.

The cook who bought vegetables at the Duke of Qi's residence returned to the house and told the people in the kitchen what she had heard. Everyone listened with interest.

"Old Xu family, are you telling the truth? His Highness, Prince Xiang, disobeyed Concubine Li for a concubine? This can't be done." Another cook in the kitchen asked while making noodles. Prince Xiang had a reputation before. How nice.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but the storyteller is very knowledgeable. Do you think that if Prince Xiang doesn't like this Aunt Fu, he can bring her all the way back to Beijing?"

"Isn't it said that there is a life-saving grace? It's okay to repay the favor and bring the person back."

"Bah! If you are good-looking, you can promise me your life. If you look like a Yaksha, can you still bring someone back? What do you mean by repaying a favor? There are many ways to repay a favor. If you have to get the person on the bed, in the final analysis, you still can't. Don’t you think you look good?”

This statement made everyone laugh all of a sudden, and there was some truth to it.

"If you say that Aunt Fu is really capable, Prince Xiang, who used to be such a filial person, is now disobedient to Concubine Li because of her. This is really unthinkable."

"That's right, she seems to be more capable than Aunt Weng in our house..."

"Shut up, can you say this?"

The person who spoke immediately covered his mouth, knowing that he had made a mistake, and smiled hurriedly at everyone, but he didn't think so in his heart. Aunt Weng is really capable. A person as powerful as Third Master, who is so majestic outside, will face Weng when he returns home. My aunt has changed her face.

If Aunt Fu is more powerful than Aunt Weng, it doesn't seem surprising.

The eldest lady frowned when Song Ju next to her said what she heard from the kitchen, "Did it spread outside?"

"Isn't it true? The cook who bought groceries at our house came back and said that she heard what Mr. Shu said with her own ears?"

"Where did she hear that?"

"It's the restaurant where we often buy pickles. Isn't there a storyteller in the restaurant? That's all I'm going to tell you this morning," Song Ju said hurriedly.

The eldest lady frowned. Today was the summer banquet. Unexpectedly, something like this happened. She raised her head and looked at Song Ju. "Please ask someone to find out if there are any other storytellers in the capital who can tell this story."

Seeing the serious look on the eldest lady's face, Song Ju didn't dare to joke, so she immediately turned around and ordered someone to investigate the matter.

This matter spread quickly outside, and it was easy to find out the news from the eldest lady. After getting the confirmation, he didn't bother to eat breakfast and went directly to the eldest lady's yard.

The madam had just sat down to eat. Seeing the eldest lady coming in a hurry, she smiled and said to her, "Why so early? You haven't eaten yet? Let's eat together here."

It's not the time to say hello, so there must be something wrong with this person coming over.

The eldest lady couldn't care less about eating, so she quickly told the story, "Mom, who do you think released this news? With so many storytellers talking about this together, not everyone can do it. "

The madam's expression was also a little solemn. She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law and asked, "What do you think?"

The eldest lady felt a little panicked. The men in the family went to the Yamen and went to the Yamen. No one was seen. She thought about it and said, "Do you think it could be His Highness?"

This His Highness is naturally the one from my family.

The Dowager Queen then said: "Can't we all admit it? Today is the summer banquet. Please tell your fourth brother and sister to be careful in your words and deeds, so as not to bring trouble to the Crown Princess."

After finishing speaking, the Tai Madam looked at the Eldest Madam again, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always acted openly and aboveboard. Such methods were not his fault, but it is inevitable that someone will cause trouble. In short, we must be careful."

When the eldest lady heard what the eldest wife said, she felt that it made some sense. How could a person as famous as the Crown Prince do such a thing? "My daughter-in-law knows about it. I'll go tell my fourth younger sister and brother about it right now."

Not only the Duke of Qi is talking about this matter, but countless officials and people in the capital are talking about it. In fact, it is obvious at a glance that someone did it deliberately, and there are many speculations in private.

In Prince Xiang's Mansion, Fu Yun wore a forehead wipe on her head. She was very weak after a miscarriage and had been nursing in the house. Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. She listened to the girl beside her, Shuang Wen, talking about what happened outside. It's white with a hint of cyan.

She rolled her eyes and spoke softly, "Who did you hear about this?"

Shuangwen looked at his aunt with a scary look on her face. She hurried over and said with concern: "Auntie, you look very bad. Why don't I ask the doctor to come and take a look first?"

Fuyun shook his head weakly, looking at Shuangwen with his bright black eyes.

Shuang Wen's heart softened and he immediately said, "It was the people in the kitchen who said it. As you know, aunt, the people who buy things in the kitchen leave the house every morning. They heard it from outside."

Fuyun shed tears when he heard this, "I don't know who is so cruel. They want to force me to die."

When Shuangwen saw Aunt Fu crying so miserably, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, please don't cry. You are still in confinement. It is not good for your eyes. The prince has asked the slaves to take good care of Auntie. You must take care of yourself."

Fuyun cried even harder when he heard this, "Shuangwen, you have been serving me since I entered the house. Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Shuang Wen thought that his aunt was really not that kind of person. It was the aunt who persuaded the prince to accept the beautiful palace servant sent by the imperial concubine. Hey, I don’t know who had a black heart to slander my aunt like this.

"Auntie, I will make the decision for you when the prince comes back, but you must not cry anymore." Shuangwen immediately advised.

Fuyun cried so hard that he could hardly breathe. He looked at Shuangwen and said, "If it's because of me that the prince's reputation has been tarnished, what's the point of me still living? It would be better to die. I can't drag down the prince with my humble life."

Shuangwen sighed and hurriedly comforted Aunt Fu. She was also worried. What should I do?

There are rumors outside that my aunt is like a seductress. If His Majesty finds out about this... Shuangwen doesn't dare to think about it. The only one who can hate my aunt so much is the imperial concubine in the palace. Is it really true? Did the imperial concubine make it?

If this is true... Shuangwen feels that his aunt is really pitiful.

How will we spend our days from now on?

I heard that His Majesty wanted several princes to get wives. When the princess came in, Shuang Wen felt that her aunt was really miserable.

"Auntie, why don't you ask someone to deliver a message to the prince? You must let the prince know about such a big event." Shuang Wen thought for a while before making up his mind.

Fu Yun's face was full of sorrow, "It's better not to tell the prince, lest the prince find out and be upset."

Listening to his aunt's considerate words, Shuangwen felt that it was more appropriate to tell the prince, so he sent his aunt to rest, then quietly went to the front yard, and asked the guard next to the prince to pass the message.

This is what the prince told her. If there is an emergency, she will have someone send a message.

After Fuyun waited for Shuangwen to go out, he slowly opened his closed eyes and stared at the top of the tent. He chuckled for a long time and subconsciously touched his belly.

She had known for a long time that this child could not be saved.

Concubine Li disliked her and even disliked her. How could she be allowed to give birth to the child before Princess Xiang who had not yet entered the family? From the beginning, she had not thought about giving birth to this child.

However, the development of things now is a bit beyond her expectation. It is completely different from what that person said. What should she do next?

Fuyun frowned and thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of a better way. However, she could imagine that Concubine Li would hate her even more after knowing this.

Such things will only bring bad influence to the prince. How could Concubine Li give up? How should she deal with it?

At the Ministry of Household Affairs, Shang Junyan, who was on duty, listened to his colleagues talking about what was going on outside. He fell silent after listening to a few words.

Now this life is already different from the previous one. King Rong has become His Highness the Crown Prince's follower, and follows His Highness the Crown Prince's lead in everything.

What surprised him was King Xiang. In his previous life, King Xiang had always kept a low profile. In the palace, the Crown Prince was His Royal Highness, the eldest son that His Majesty always valued. King Rong was His Majesty’s favorite son. Of course, King Xiang’s situation was worse than that of King Wu and King Wu. King Jing is good, but he is low-key and has little sense of presence. However, Concubine Li is more famous than this son because she is favored.

But this life is different. Prince Xiang is more high-profile than in the previous life. Now that something like this happens again, I just... don't know what to say.

"Master Shang, what on earth do you think is going on?"

When Shang Junyan heard his colleagues asking about him, he still shook his head silently. His colleagues were very accustomed to such a silent and capable Shang Junyan, and did not continue to question him. Everyone began to speculate enthusiastically about who did it.

There was a lot of noise in the room, and Shang Junyan's mind was buzzing, and he sat there quietly in a daze.

In his previous life, he always cleaned up King Rong's messes. In order to make him stand upright in front of His Majesty, he kept running out, just to bring honor to King Rong and achieve political achievements for him.

He didn't do that in this life, and King Rong didn't confront the prince like he did in his previous life, so it was King Xiang who jumped out now?

Shang Junyan's brows furrowed slightly, and he heard his colleague say something else, "I heard that today's summer banquet was hosted by the Queen and the Crown Princess. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Didn't you say that the Queen and the Crown Princess were at odds?"

"Who said that?"

Shang Junyan stood up and walked out to take a breath. Hearing everyone mention the princess, he hadn't seen Su Xinyi for a long time.

I don't know why, but I feel a little irritable for no reason.

Su Xinyi was always straightforward in doing things, so this kind of thing was definitely not done by him.

But after listening to colleagues speculating that it might be Concubine Li, he also felt that it was unlikely. He suspected that His Highness the Crown Prince did it.

Everyone said that His Highness the Crown Prince was honest and kind, but he had fought with His Highness many times in his previous life, and he knew in his heart that His Highness the Crown Prince was not a soft-hearted person.

Thinking of this, Shang Junyan took a deep breath. What does this have to do with him? Now he is a person who is not even qualified to participate in the Spring Banquet.

At this time, Su Xinyi didn't know what was going on outside, and was following the queen's director, giving instructions one by one. The two of them were busy going around early in the morning.

After finally coming up with a clue, the queen took Su Xinyi to have breakfast together.

This was her first time having breakfast at Yuanhui Palace.

The Queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You have a good breakfast. I don't know when you can have a bite of lunch with peace of mind."

Su Xinyi nodded hurriedly and pretended to listen sincerely. The queen was indeed very satisfied.

Just as she was talking, Aunt Zhao came in, bent down beside the queen and whispered a few words.

Su Xinyi ate at her dining table, which was full of meals, much richer than when she was in the East Palace.

As soon as she swallowed a mouthful of porridge, she heard the queen say in surprise, "Is there such a good thing?"

Su Xinyi's ears twitched and she raised her head to look at the queen. When she saw the queen, her eyebrows suddenly lit up.

The queen's mood suddenly improved. She looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Such good news cannot be hidden. You should quickly go to Zhaoyu Palace and talk to Concubine Li."

Aunt Zhao quickly responded and turned around to leave.

The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "Today there are rumors that King Xiang was greedy for women and disobeyed Concubine Li. Concubine Li killed her and caused Aunt Fu to have a miscarriage."

Su Xinyi:......

She remembered what His Highness said yesterday to leave it to him, so this is what His Highness did?

Why do you feel so obscene?

It didn't look like the bright and majestic image of His Highness at all. She immediately made a look of surprise and said, "Mother, this is really good news."

The queen didn't like Su Xinyi's straightforward nature before, but now she really likes her. This makes people happy to hear this.

"Concubine Li Gui must be in a bad mood today. You should avoid her and don't let her find an opportunity to embarrass you." The queen looked at Su Xinyi and warned her carefully, "There are so many ladies coming to the summer banquet. In full view of everyone, you are a junior. It’s hard to deal with her.”

In private, it was okay for the Crown Princess Su Xinyi to speak more bluntly, but in such an occasion, she couldn't be so arbitrary, as there was a Crown Prince behind her.

Thinking of this, the queen was really worried about Su Xinyi's unwillingness to suffer. She looked at her and warned her again: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Think about the prince. In an occasion like today, be restrained. If Concubine Li is really If I make things difficult for you, come to me directly."

She has been fighting Concubine Li for so many years, but she is very experienced. Besides, she is a queen, so she has the advantage of status.

Su Xinyi was surprised to be honest. She didn't expect the queen to stand by her on such an occasion. She was not polite and immediately said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Queen Mother. I will definitely listen to Queen Mother."

The queen was willing to stand up for her, and she couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Only by making the connection and interests between the Queen and the East Palace deeper, it will not be easy for the Queen to get off the East Palace's ship in the future.

Thinking about King Rong, Su Xinyi felt that all her acting skills in this life had been used on the Queen, and she was worthy of King Rong's protection of His Royal Highness.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Hurry up and eat."

Su Xinyi responded and took the time to eat. He had a feeling that today's banquet would be more lively than she expected.

His Highness's timing was really perfect for taking action.

Just very excited.

But he couldn't be seen by the queen, and there was still a bit of worry on his face.

Her strong temperament shows a worried side. With the queen's temperament, she will definitely pay more attention to her today.

That's good. Paying attention to her is equivalent to paying attention to Concubine Li.

Then there were people from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, who suddenly started to look forward to it.
