Once the Crown Prince Joins In

369: Could it be that his wife can’t beat him?

Speaking of this matter, the eldest lady was also a little worried. She had not had this idea at first, but now she heard the words of the fourth brother and sister and she was inevitably a little moved.

She is in charge of the middle child in the house, and she also has to take care of her grandson when she has time. Her daughter not only wants to send Sister Jun back, but also wants to send Xie Kun. The two children really need to be taken care of carefully. Such a big child There were so many things going on in the mansion every day that she was too busy to take care of her grandson. She could not bring her daughter back, so she could only let her servants take care of her.

She had never thought of troublesome the fourth lady, but now that the fourth lady said this, the eldest lady was immediately moved.

"Would it be too troublesome for the four younger siblings? The two children may have to live here for a few years. I'm afraid they will cause trouble to you." The eldest lady also has concerns. This is not a day or two day care, but a matter of years and months. .

The fourth lady then said: "After Xin Yi got married, I will be the only one in the fourth room. It will be more lively with two children, and it can also relieve my boredom."

The eldest lady laughed. The fourth lady said this, but she couldn't take it for granted. The second lady and the third lady both had their own children, and only the fourth lady had nothing to do with her. But the fourth lady used to love reading, so how could she be so boring? Panic.

"Fourth brother and sister, I won't say any polite words. I really want to thank you this time." The eldest lady was also happy and agreed simply. After all, we live under the same roof, so we should take care of each other. From now on, the four brothers and sisters will She will naturally take more care of things.

The matter was settled like this. The eldest lady sent the fourth lady away and wrote a letter to her daughter. The fourth lady was a scholar and a really talented woman. It would be beneficial for the children to follow her. She had to tell her daughter about the matter. Remember the fourth lady’s love with your son-in-law.

When Uncle Su came back, the eldest lady told her about Xin Yi's pregnancy. Obviously, Uncle Su already knew about it, and she smiled all over her face and said it was a happy event.

The eldest lady smiled and told the story that the eldest wife was going to visit the East Palace. "My four siblings and I were worried about our mother's health. We couldn't help it, so we thought about asking my father what he meant."

Uncle Su knew that he had to do this by himself, so he changed his clothes and said, "I'm going over there right now. Have you handed over the message to the Crown Princess?"

"Not yet. Isn't this waiting for you to go to my father's side?"

Uncle Su nodded and walked out, "I'll go right away."

Su Xinyi from the East Palace received many posts, all of which were congratulations. She smiled and asked people to put them away. She was thinking that although His Majesty promised that she could return to her parents' home at any time, she had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, so she could not be so public.

While still thinking about when to go back, Delphinium sent a post from the Duke's Mansion. She opened it and smiled when she read it. Her mother and eldest aunt were coming. It said that her grandmother also wanted to come to visit her, but she is old now. My family still persuaded me to stop.

Su Xinyi thought that the only person in the family who could persuade her grandmother was her grandfather. She wrote a letter to her family, telling her not to worry. She would go back in a few days, and she was ordered to go home, so that the wife would not have to worry.

After sending the letter, Su Xinyi was in a very happy mood. How could she have imagined that she could get along so well with her family when she first came back.

The life she is living now is something she never dared to think about or do in her previous life. She has no extravagant expectations.

Not to mention the mood of the Duke's Mansion after receiving the news, Su Xinyi did not really have time to raise the baby. Although she did not have to help the queen handle palace affairs, nor did she have to deal with the marriage affairs of several princes, she still Still thinking about things in Suizhou.

Counting the time, King Yi and his wife should be able to arrive before King Jing's wedding.

The second brother didn't know if things were progressing, so Su Xinyi habitually took out a map. Although she had seen it many times, she still marked the prefectures and counties around Suizhou one by one.

When she saw Nanshang Mansion, she thought of Shang Junyan again. His Majesty had approved Shang Junyan to go south to investigate the case as an imperial envoy. She also told the prince that Mu Xing should go south with her elder brother. Mu Xing's main purpose was to investigate the original case. Does the assassin have anything to do with Suizhou?

Although Su Xinyi was not sure, he always felt that there should be some connection. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too coincidental?

After looking at the map for a long time, her mind was in a mess, so she simply went out for a walk. As soon as she went out, Forsythia and the palace attendants immediately followed her.

Deyang Hall is the main hall where Su Xinyi and the prince live. After Deyang Hall, there is Chenghua Hall, which is where affairs of the East Palace are handled. However, Su Xinyi found it troublesome and mostly worked in the side hall of Deyang Hall, so Chenghua Hall was temporarily closed. Take some time off.

Moreover, she did not have the habit of inviting people to the East Palace as guests, so the Chenghua Palace was rarely used. However, there was a small garden behind the Chenghua Palace. It was originally a large garden, but Su Xinyi set aside more than half of it as a martial arts performance ground. So the garden has shrunk a lot.

Even so, it doesn't feel too small when walking in it. If you walk slowly, it will take you half an hour to turn around.

After walking a few steps, Su Xinyi suddenly heard voices in front of her. Su Xinyi was startled and turned to look at the people around her. Delphinium immediately took a few steps to see what was going on.

Forsythia looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Why don't you go to the pavilion over there to rest first?"

Su Xinyi shook her head. She was not tired at all. She was so strong, but she was pregnant but not sick. The imperial doctor said that lethargy was also a symptom of pregnancy, so there was nothing to worry about.

The master and servant walked forward slowly, and after a few steps, Delphinium came back and saluted: "Princess, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Prince Rong, and Lord Shang who are admiring the flowers. Please come over. "

Su Xinyi was stunned. She was not surprised that King Rong was here, but why was Shang Junyan also there?

Tsk, with Shang Junyan's ability, he can quickly behead him if he wants to.

Su Xinyi walked there, walked along the Yong Road, turned through a bush of flowers, stepped on the wisteria corridor, and saw His Royal Highness the Prince in the Octagonal Pavilion in front of him.

Stepping onto the steps, Yan Junchu saw Xin Yi approaching, then stood up to greet him and extended his hand.

Su Xinyi put her palm into the prince's palm, raised her head and smiled at him, "I didn't expect His Highness to be here today to enjoy the flowers with Seventh Brother and Lord Shang, but I was presumptuous in coming."

When King Rong heard this, he immediately said: "Is there a place here that you can't go to? Is it interesting to say such kind words?"

This means stop pretending, I don’t know who you are yet.

Su Xinyi snorted, looked at Rong Wang and said, "I still have to say it. Whether I do it or not is my business."

Does this mean you can control it?

When Shang Junyan saw Su Xinyi come in, he looked uncomfortable for a moment and felt quite complicated.

When Su Xinyi got married, he didn't think anything was wrong. At that time, he thought that the two of them would go back to their own way and be well.

Indeed, after the two knew each other's rebirth, they had almost no contact unless necessary.

However, for some reason, seeing someone completely different from her previous life, seeing her living a carefree and comfortable life, he wished he could just stay in the household and be a doctor, and never interact with her again for the rest of his life.

However, the words she said the last time they met made him feel ashamed and ashamed.

He was obsessed with the grudges from his previous life and told himself that he had let them go, but in fact he had not.

The one who really let go was Su Xinyi. She had started a new life of her own, but he was still spinning around. No, he was even going backwards.

He used to be a man with great ambitions, and he also wanted to use his skills to leave a miserable life in this world.

But he stayed in his own shell. He thought he had done a lot, but Su Xinyi's words shattered his illusion.

He is not as good as her.

So he walked out, thinking he couldn't lose to her.

Su Xinyi, a little girl, is willing to run around for the common people, wearing armor and holding a gun, but he is obviously a man and can carry heavy burdens, but he shrinks his neck because of those mistakes in the past.

He finally plucked up the courage to move forward again, but got the news that Su Xinyi was pregnant.

Pregnant...

Maybe a long time ago, he also thought that even if he married a woman he didn't like, he still wanted to fulfill his responsibilities and thought about having a child, but...

Without the but, he was blind and deaf. He only wanted to see what he wanted to see and hear what he wanted to hear, so he made a big mistake.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Shang Junyan calmed down as quickly as possible, stood up, and greeted Su Xinyi, "Wei Chen has met the Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi looked at Shang Junyan with a normal expression, "Master Shang, there is no need to be polite."

King Rong looked at Su Xinyi, then at Shang Junyan, and sneered with disdain, "I said you two are lying, it's not like we didn't know each other before."

Shang Junyan frowned. Why didn't he think King Rong was so stupid in his previous life? He said, "The etiquette cannot be abolished."

King Rong snorted, not paying attention to what Shang Junyan said. He turned to look at Su Xinyi, "You are really incredible. Your father is so tolerant to you before you are born. If you are really born in the future, Without my eldest brother’s eldest son and my father’s eldest grandson, how can there be any place for me in our family?”

The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, and she looked at Rong Wang and said rudely, "Did others give you a foothold? You earned it yourself. If you don't make progress, don't blame others. I advise you to be kind. point."

"Why can't you be kinder?" King Rong was unconvinced. The most unkind person here was Su Xinyi. How could she have the face to criticize others.

Yan Junchu looked at King Rong, "If Xin Yi was not kind, you wouldn't even know where to bury him now."

Just jumping up and down looking for death, my survival is really all dependent on the kindness of others.

"Sure, I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you. You are a rare treasure in our family now." King Rong said angrily. At this moment, he regretted that he got married late, and the child was born even late. Now he is being treated by Su Xinyi Bullying, then won’t your own children have to be bullied by Su Xinyi’s children in the future?

Just thinking about it made him feel unconvinced.

Thinking about it, I suddenly felt that marrying Zhu Chanyi was really the most correct thing for his mother. Zhu Chanyi was quite fierce, so the child she raised should not be a coward.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little more confident.

Suddenly, an idea flashed. No wonder the eldest brother was so happy to marry a fierce woman like Su Xinyi. Wouldn't marrying a wife with a big temper and ability be able to bully others openly?

Su Xinyi had no idea that King Rong's mind was completely distorted at this moment, let alone that it would spread to his own marriage, and she didn't know that because of today's irreversible divorce, he would still be with Zhu Chanyi in the future. They truly became a loving couple.

It has to be said that some people are looking for death and cannot hold back their luck.

No matter where he hit it while blindfolded, he couldn't hit the south wall anyway.

In this life, I boarded the prince's ship, and in my previous life, I was escorted by a capable minister named Shang Junyan.

It's so enviable.

Yan Junchu ignored King Rong's nonsense and turned to Xin Yi and said, "I am talking to Mr. Shang about the granary case. After King Jing gets married, Mr. Shang and his eldest brother will go south."

Su Xinyi suddenly understood. No wonder Shang Junyan appeared here. She said: "Since His Highness is talking about business, I won't disturb him."

Yan Junchu smiled, "It doesn't matter. You know a lot about this case. If you discuss it with us, we may be able to get more clues."

King Rong stopped nitpicking now and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Yes, my eldest brother told me about Huiqi Mansion last time. I thought that Su Yi would really have to shoulder a heavy responsibility when going south this time."

Everyone was talking about the granary again, but Shang Junyan's expression faltered when he heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calling Su Yi his eldest brother. Although he and the Duke of Qi were related by marriage in his previous life, they had very little contact with each other, let alone treating Su Yi as his uncle. Brother.

He was surprised that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so close to Duke Qi and would call Su Yi as his eldest brother.

Not to mention a noble person like the prince, even if the princes have wives, they may not really regard the people of the wife clan as a family.

"Prefect Huiqi is my eldest brother's father-in-law. Uncle Zeng is a very wise man. If something happens, I might ask him for help." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

King Rong said with a pity, "It's a pity that I can't go. In fact, I really want to go."

He wanted to stay in Beijing and marry a wife. He was quite repelled before, but now he doesn't mind at all.

His wife is someone who can compete with Su Xinyi in terms of force. If he marries her in the future, he will also have someone to support him.

He couldn't beat Su Xinyi, so couldn't his wife be beaten?

The prince looked at Prince Rong, "Aren't you busy enough with the affairs of the Inner Palace? My father said that you will not be allowed to sell sheep's heads as dog meat in the future. If you dare to give up on the affairs of the Inner Palace, I will let you know what it means to be a court official. Due duties.”

King Rong:......

There is really no way to survive.

"Brother, we are brothers, you are so arrogant." King Rong sighed.

The prince was too lazy to pay attention to him. He knew everything about eating, drinking and having fun. When he was doing serious business, he only felt pain here and there. He just needed to take care of himself.

Huang Zhongsheng has complained to him several times, and the prince will definitely take Prince Rong to do a good job this time.

"The specifics of your trip south this time must be explained clearly to Mr. Shang. The case of the granary is of great importance. The stolen grain must be recovered. This is related to the rations of the border officers and soldiers." The prince said solemnly. .

The soldiers at the border tightened their belts to survive, not daring to waste a grain of food. Then look at the officials who dug into the treasury and amassed money in the blessed land. They deserved to be killed.

When it came to serious matters, King Rong did not dare to smile playfully, and explained the matter to Shang Junyan in detail. Su Xinyi had already heard the prince tell it, but now that he heard King Rong say it again, many details had been added.

"Don't you have any clue about the whereabouts of the missing grain in the granary?" Su Xinyi looked at King Rong and asked.

Although his eyes were looking at King Rong, the tail of his eyes glanced at Shang Junyan.

Shang Junyan noticed Su Xinyi's eyes, but he did not raise his head to look. He sat upright, as if he was listening carefully to King Rong's answer.

After hearing this, King Rong said: "North of Nanshang Prefecture is Huishan Prefecture. Although half of the granaries in Huishan Prefecture are not as empty as those stolen by Nanshang Prefecture, there are also a small part of them without grains of rice. Going north from Huishan Prefecture, there is no such situation. It happened. I estimate that the possibility of stealing grain and transporting it northward is unlikely. On the contrary, from Nanshang to the south, in addition to Huiqi Prefecture, Yuning Prefecture, Cangnan Prefecture and Zongping Prefecture are all involved, so I lost the grain. We should go south."

Su Xinyi and the prince looked at each other, and the prince looked at Shang Junyan, "What do you think, Mr. Shang?"

Shang Junyan didn't expect the prince to suddenly call his name. He calmed down his thoughts and tried not to let himself look at Su Xinyi. He calmly said: "It is exactly as the prince said. I also think that the prince's words are somewhat reasonable. But Yuning Mansion, Although Cangnan Mansion and Zongping Mansion are involved, the prince's intention is not as serious as Nanshang Mansion and Huishan Mansion, so the possibility of food transporting south is only 50-50. If Zongping Mansion goes further south, it will be soon. After leaving the border of Southern Qi, we are about to arrive in Annan. The land in Annan is fertile and the output is rich, and there is not enough profit from transporting grain southward, so Wei Chen feels that the possibility of transporting food southward is not very high."

Shang Junyan's words made the prince and Prince Rong think deeply. Su Xinyi felt that what Shang Junyan said made sense. In terms of politics, Shang Junyan did have more experience and higher abilities than her.

At this time, Su Xinyi listened to the prince saying: "What if we don't go south, but slightly change the direction to the west? The caravan returned home from Duogan and encountered an assassination team when passing through Licheng. I didn't think so. It was an accident.”

Shang Junyan knew about the assassination of the caravan not long ago. After hearing this, he thought for a while and said: "If it is transported to the west, it can only be transported to Duogan or the Tubo tribes, but if it is transported to that side, the distance is too long. , I’m afraid that output is not equal to profit. If there is no huge profit, what is their original intention of stealing food?”

So, there is still no perfect reason.

There was silence in the pavilion for a moment. Shang Junyan was right. The purpose of stealing the granary was to make a profit. If he followed this route, the journey would be long and the expenses would be high. In the end, the profit would be too small. No one would be willing to take the risk. Risking beheading just for the little income.

At this moment, Su Xinyi suddenly thought of something. She looked at everyone, "Actually, there is another way. Go south and then turn west. The road is indeed far away, but if you go directly from Nanshang through Huishan, then from Huishan By passing through Fengpingwei, the distance to Tubo will be shortened by more than half."

After hearing what Su Xinyi said, King Rong reached out and took out a simple version of the map and spread it on the table. King Rong's fingertips fell on Feng Pingwei, and then he exclaimed, "Sure enough, it was shortened by more than half."

The prince's eyes fell on the words Pingningwei, which was not far from Fengpingwei. He remembered that Jingjinglue was in Pingningwei.
