Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Mrs. Xiang was shocked. She didn’t expect that there was such a reason. She said: “It’s really unbelievable. When I heard the news, I was thinking that this marriage was a bit weird. With Madam’s temperament, how could she be with Guangzhou? Marriage between the Prince of Ping County and the Prince's Palace. I never thought that the Princess of Guangping County would let her daughter do whatever she wanted, so she was really not afraid..."

At this point, I remembered that there was a queen behind the princess of Guangping County. For a moment, I didn't know what to say in front of the princess.

Su Xinyi really couldn't criticize the queen and the princess of Guangping County outside. She pretended not to hear it and said: "Marriage is all about your love and my will. Madam has suffered such grievances. Having such a plan is nothing." .”

Mrs. Jiang knew that the Crown Princess was not on good terms with Princess Runyi, but she knew that the Crown Princess now had a good relationship with the Queen, and was afraid that the Crown Princess would have different ideas because of this. Now she was relieved to hear this.

"Thank you, Crown Princess, for your understanding. I really can't watch my son being ruined for the rest of his life." Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "If it was really my son's fault that day, I will definitely let him come and apologize, and then he will be fine. Just marry this girl into the house. But, he was framed innocently, how could I let such a vicious person in? If I really let her in, I'm afraid our Jiang family will be restless from now on."

Yan Qiongsi is just a princess, but there is a queen behind her. This is what Mrs. Jiang is most afraid of.

As long as the marriage fails, the queen will be dissatisfied with her. With His Majesty around, she will not blatantly embarrass her family. She is not afraid even if she enters the palace to offend the queen.

But if the marriage is done, and a vicious person like Yan Qiongsi comes in, and the queen is backing her, how can this family survive?

There is no way to survive.

Now after listening to what the Crown Princess told her, even though she has always been tenacious, she almost couldn't hold on.

After taking a sip of tea to calm down, Mrs. Jiang's mood slowly stabilized. Then she looked at the Crown Princess and said, "If your guesses are true, Crown Princess, what do you need me to do?"

Mrs. Xiang did not expect Mrs. Jiang to be so straightforward, but it was not a surprise. If she could endure being bullied like this, she would not be Mrs. Jiang.

Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Jiang and smiled, "At this point, the matter is beyond the control of our women in the back house. Madam still needs to inform Shangshu Jiang about this matter. Lord Shangshu has his own plans. However, Ji Shilang and Yi My wife still needs to explain clearly to the Minister about the king, and I don’t have any evidence on this matter. I just saw them meeting each other while avoiding the public eye, and I don’t know what they said during the meeting.”

Mrs. Jiang understood and nodded, "Don't worry, Crown Princess, I will tell my master the truth."

Mrs. Xiang had been silent for a while, then suddenly she said: "We can't interfere in matters in the court, but I have an idea about breaking off the engagement."

Mrs. Jiang raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Xiang, "Please give me some advice, madam. My mind was in such a mess that I couldn't think of a good solution."

Mrs. Xiang glanced at the Crown Princess and said, "The Crown Princess mentioned the hunting ground before. Princess Runyi was summoned by the Ministry of Punishment about the hunting ground. If new evidence can be found, Princess Runyi's reputation will be damaged if she is suspected." , if you cancel the engagement, it will be justified."

Mrs. Jiang was stunned for a moment and carefully considered the feasibility of this matter.

Su Xinyi said: "Princess Runyi was put back because of insufficient evidence. If we want enough evidence, we must find Xu Yurong and make her tell the truth. If Xu Yurong can't be found, we want Runyi to be released." It is difficult for Princess Yi to plead guilty. Or, it may be possible to pry open the mouths of others in Yulingan, but the Criminal Department failed to do it at the beginning, and it will be difficult to do it now. "

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it." Mrs. Jiang said solemnly.

"Then you have to plan carefully." Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Jiang and said.

Mrs. Xiang thought carefully before saying, "There is another person."

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Xiang and asked, "Who?"

Su Xinyi glanced at Mrs. Xiang and knew who she was talking about. Sure enough, she heard Mrs. Xiang say: "It is Aunt Fu, the concubine in Prince Xiang's palace who is much loved by Prince Xiang."

Mrs. Jiang immediately clapped her hands and said, "Yes, I forgot about her."

"It's just that Aunt Fu is in Prince Xiang's Mansion now. It's not easy to borrow power from her." Mrs. Xiang looked at the two of them and said, "Princess Xiang is about to get married. I heard that Concubine Li takes Prince Xiang's Mansion very seriously."

Su Xinyi said nothing and looked up at Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang looked calm, and after listening to Mrs. Xiang's words, she said slowly: "Although I still don't know how deeply Aunt Fu is related to this matter, but since it is related to Yuling Temple, I don't believe that she is completely innocent. .”

Su Xinyi knew Mrs. Jiang's temperament, and was not surprised at all when she heard her say this.

"Since King Yi and Ji Shilang rushed to meet at Yuling Temple, it shows that they have great trust in Yuling Temple. Does this mean that Yuling Temple actually has a close relationship with King Yi?" Mrs. Xiang also felt a little worried as she said this. Trembling, if it were true, it would be really incredible.

"It's hard to say without evidence, but I think it's possible." Mrs. Jiang let out a sigh of relief, "If Aunt Fu is really related to that side, as long as some unexplained news is released, I think Aunt Fu who is trapped in Prince Xiang's Mansion will I will definitely be anxious. People, once they lose their sense of proportion and have no bottom in their hearts, they will act differently than usual."

If Yan Qiongsi's move hadn't offended Mrs. Jiang so much, Mrs. Jiang was cautious by nature and wouldn't have acted like this.

But now, other people have their knives on their necks, just waiting to push them into the quagmire. Of course she can't wait.

Mrs. Xiang breathed a long sigh of relief and felt her palms getting cold. Things like this made her know that she would not be able to get off this boat.

As an official, my husband has always been loyal to the emperor. Of course, because of his in-law relationship with the Duke of Qi and Xin Yi becoming the crown prince, he is still somewhat inclined. However, his husband is usually very cautious and will not let his colleagues see anything.

Mrs. Jiang's family is very similar to her own, so the two have always had a good relationship.

but now……

Mrs. Xiang raised her head and looked at the Crown Princess. Fourth Master Su had given birth to a good daughter. He was able to let them jump on their own without any coercion, inducement, or even coercion.

With such good skills, it is no wonder that not long after marrying into the East Palace, the relationship with the Queen became so harmonious.

Before the Crown Princess married, the relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince was only superficially harmonious, and privately she pushed Prince Rong to fight with the Crown Prince, but what about now?

King Rong had completely become the prince's pawn. Not only was the queen not angry, she actually let nature take its course.

It's a pity for Mrs. Xiang once again that she was optimistic about the daughter-in-law candidate. If such a person marries her son, the Xiang family will definitely be able to make further progress in the future.

Her vision was correct, but she didn't dare to compete with the royal family.

Mrs. Xiang had already made up her mind after thinking of this. She could not get off the East Palace ship, but she had to think carefully about how to gain a foothold on this ship.

Relying only on in-laws is not enough. Although the prince is generous, he is always fair in court affairs. Fortunately, her husband relies on his own strength to become an official.

With such a change of mind, Mrs. Xiang's stance changed instantly, and her thinking also changed.

In the past, I thought that the Xiang family would lean toward the East Palace, but they still had to maintain their appearance of neutrality.

But now that we are going to board Donggong's ship, we naturally have to do things in the interests of Donggong.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, "Princess, there is something you may not know yet."

Su Xinyi turned to look at Mrs. Xiang. She could clearly see the subtle changes in Mrs. Xiang's expression before. In her previous life, she was forced to learn to read words and expressions. Every expression of these ladies from noble families was not useless.

So, she smiled and said, "I am currently raising a baby in the East Palace, and I am not sure about many things. It would be best if Madam could talk to me."

Mrs. Xiang also laughed after hearing what the Crown Princess said, "Yes, everyone is thinking about letting you have a good pregnancy. We try not to let the Crown Princess worry about these unnecessary little things."

Su Xinyi's thoughts changed. The only people who could think of her like this were her mother's family.

"Did something happen to the Duke's Mansion?"

Mrs. Xiang nodded slightly, "My sister-in-law didn't mention this matter to your wife, because she was old, and Aunt Weng had already gone to Zhuangzi. She had moved earlier because of Aunt Weng's affairs. Angry, now naturally we can’t let her worry anymore.”

Is it related to Aunt Weng?

No wonder Mrs. Xiang didn't say it before, it was really difficult to say it.

It was about Aunt Weng, and even Mrs. Jiang looked a little serious.

In fact, it was Aunt Weng's name that Mrs. Jiang didn't care if she didn't know. In the early years, the Xiang family had many fights with Mr. Su because of Aunt Weng.

Later, I heard that Aunt Weng was sent to Zhuangzi, and many people in the capital were talking about it behind their backs.

However, she did not expect that this matter could be related to Aunt Weng, which involved the secrets of the Duke of Qi's palace, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang's uneasy look, Su Xinyi could guess that the other party didn't want to get involved in the Su family's affairs, so she smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, Aunt Weng did something wrong, but the family let her go Zhuangzi reflected on it and found that he did not do anything inappropriate again. When Mrs. Xiang mentioned this matter, someone probably wanted to use Aunt Weng to do harm to the Su family."

Mrs. Xiang was very surprised. The Crown Princess was so perceptive, and she was really right.

Mrs. Jiang then breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a shameful thing in the Duke's Palace. She smiled at the Crown Princess and said, "The third lady had an unpleasant quarrel with Aunt Weng because of the fifth girl's marriage. We have the third lady in the capital to be such a legitimate mother." It’s really rare to see someone who protects a concubine, how many people praise her behind her back.”

Mrs. Xiang couldn't help but feel a little hot after hearing this. She knew that Mrs. Jiang was giving gold to her sister-in-law, but the gold was right.

Her sister-in-law has a lot of problems: she has a bad temper, she has high eyelids, and she refuses to be soft on her own men. She has always been at odds with the third master, and she even hates Aunt Weng.

The only thing is that her sister-in-law is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and she wants to skin Aunt Weng, but the two children she gave birth to are indeed good-natured. Her sister-in-law has never deprived the two children, and is willing to lend a hand in marriage. Who can I can think of a lifetime of notoriety, but it was because of these two things that I was cleared of it all at once.

Mrs. Xiang did not like to praise, but Su Xinyi had no scruples, so she said to Mrs. Jiang: "Back then, the third aunt shed tears in front of my grandmother because of the marriage between the fifth sister and the fifth brother. She just refused to watch them being raped by Weng. My aunt is a drag. Third aunt is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and everyone in our house knows that."

Mrs. Xiang's old face turned red. When Xin Yi returned home, her sister-in-law had a lot of mean words. Fortunately, she turned around later.

Mrs. Xiang could no longer let the Crown Princess go down quickly, so she continued what she had said before, "A few days ago, my sister-in-law came back to her parents' house with a sad face. I asked her what trouble she had encountered, and then I realized that someone was trying to go to Zhuangzi. I struck up a conversation with Aunt Weng and bribed people in Zhuangzi. Fortunately, my brother-in-law's people were careful and they discovered the clues."

Su Xinyi really didn't know about this, so he continued to listen to Mrs. Xiang.

Later, after the third master got the news, he sent someone to investigate the matter. The relationship between the third wife and the third master eased a lot, so she also found out.

Although the Third Madam is usually a bit reckless, she can still imagine that this incident is unusual. She and her husband cannot treat each other like Aunt Weng, otherwise they will have to quarrel.

The two couples now have a good relationship, and quarreling at an old age is not a joke for the younger generation, so the third wife went back to her parents' house to discuss the matter.

"My husband discussed this matter with his brother-in-law, and decided to wait and see what happened. He wanted to see who was behind it. The person who was bribed in Zhuangzi at the beginning knew only a limited amount. After dealing with it, there is no one behind it now. Contact Aunt Weng again. I thought, since someone is eyeing Aunt Weng, they must be targeting the Duke’s Mansion. Now it seems that this method is not much different from what happened at the hunting ground. "

Mrs. Jiang looked at the Crown Princess and said thoughtfully, "If we want to start from Aunt Weng, I wonder if Aunt Weng will cooperate."

She is also a fickle master, so she may not be willing to do so.

Su Xinyi remembered what Su Xixian had said before and wanted to take Aunt Weng to her village, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

Su Xixian would definitely not harm her family, but did she come up with this idea on her own, or was someone whispering in her ears?

If someone makes suggestions, does it mean that the people behind it are not easy to get started from the Duke's Mansion, so they are targeting Su Xixian?

Thinking that Su Xixian was still pregnant, Su Xinyi couldn't suppress her anger.

Seeing the sudden change in the Crown Princess' expression, Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Crown Princess, is there something wrong?"

Su Xinyi told her about the last time she met Su Xixian.

Mrs. Xiang's expression suddenly changed, and she was obviously thinking of the same thing as the Crown Princess.

Mrs. Jiang was also surprised, "To be able to do so many things, it seems that the person behind it is more powerful than we thought."

"Then what should we do now?" Mrs. Xiang asked hesitantly. When it came to Su Xixian, it was hard for her to come up with an idea.

Su Xinyi looked at the two ladies and sighed: "It's a serious matter, I have to discuss it with my parents' family before we discuss it."

Mrs. Jiang immediately said: "That's right. Then I'll let someone start from Aunt Fu's side first."

Mrs. Xiang nodded in agreement, "If Aunt Fu doesn't move, there is Princess Xiang. I can use my strength to make Princess Xiang move."

Master Xiang is in Taipu Temple, and Princess Xiang's father is under his jurisdiction.

Su Xinyi looked at Madam Xiang and said, "Madam, don't be anxious. Lord Xiang, don't move. Taipu Temple is of great importance, and His Majesty has always attached great importance to it. For this matter, Lord Xiang cannot be allowed to go into the water. I have other ways here. You two, please wait for a moment."

Su Xinyi could still take advantage of the situation, but it was difficult to tell the two of them because it was related to the palace.

After some discussion, they split up. Before leaving, Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Xiang and asked, "Madam, my fifth sister is very filial to my third aunt and will not do anything detrimental to the family. Please ask Madam for this matter." Don’t tell third aunt yet.”

Mrs. Xiang sighed in her heart, the Crown Princess was such a person that people really didn’t know what to say. She thought she got along well with her family back in the Duke’s Mansion. After something like this happened, she also knew how to deal with her sister-in-law for the sake of her sister and wanted to keep her life. The faces of the two of them.

"Don't worry, Princess, I won't say anything. The matter is too important to let others take advantage of." Mrs. Xiang said immediately.

Su Xinyi thanked them, then said goodbye to the two of them and took a step forward.

As soon as the Crown Princess left, Mrs. Jiang said to Mrs. Xiang, "The Duke of Qi is very lucky."

Mrs. Xiang also lamented that when Fourth Master Su was here, the Duke of Qi's mansion was on a higher level. With Fourth Master Su gone, she watched the Duke of Qi's mansion go downhill. As a result, Fourth Master Su's daughter recognized her back.

Mrs. Xiang said to Mrs. Jiang: "The Crown Princess has always been affectionate and righteous. Not long after we recognized her, because of Miss Su's incident, everyone was shot at the Shi family. No family would protect such a good girl as a treasure." of."

Mrs. Jiang also laughed. Yes, the Crown Princess also helped her push Xu Yurong down, otherwise the eldest son's marriage would have had many twists and turns.

This person, the Crown Princess...

Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Xiang and sighed first, with a hint of helplessness in her eyebrows. Then she said, "Thank you so much for our friendship for so many years. I just thought Yan Qiongsi wanted to find someone for herself." It’s a decent marriage, but I didn’t expect that there would be so many involvements. Just thinking about it, I can’t even breathe if I marry someone else.”

"I didn't expect it. Fortunately, things have turned around, so you don't have to worry too much." Mrs. Xiang comforted her, "Does the Queen in the palace know what you said Princess Runyi did?"

Mrs. Jiang was silent.

Mrs. Xiang was also worried, "The Queen has always liked this niece. Do you think you will protect her?"

Mrs. Jiang is also worried about this, but she will not take a step back because of this. If someone like Yan Qiongsi comes in, it will be a disaster.

She glanced at Mrs. Xiang and said meaningfully: "The Queen has always been fair and generous."

Mrs. Xiang understood that Mrs. Jiang wanted to break off the engagement despite the Queen's dissatisfaction, but since she said the words "fairness and generosity", Mrs. Jiang would definitely make things go smoothly and not let the Queen find any shortcomings.

That's really exciting to watch.
