Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Tu Jingjia was not very familiar with Zhu Chanyi, and they didn't have much contact before they got married, but she came from the East Palace, and the Crown Princess was trustworthy. At this time, Princess Rong might have meant the Crown Princess when she said this.

Tu Jingjia nodded without hesitation, "I got it. I was just thinking about what was going on. I was murmuring in my heart and couldn't ask anyone. I was just thinking about it by myself. The seventh brother and sister arrived just in time. Let's discuss it. .”

Zhu Chanyi smiled at Tu Jingjia after hearing what she said. The Crown Princess was right, Princess Jing was indeed a trustworthy person, so she stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "What happened when Princess Wu was reprimanded last time?" , Sixth sister-in-law also knows, right?"

Tu Jingjia nodded, "I know a little bit."

Hearing Zhu Chanyi call her sixth sister-in-law, she did not call Ji Yun third sister-in-law, but called her Princess Wu. This is not a matter of distance, but there must be something big going on with Ji Yun. This is to draw a clear line. limit.

Thinking of this, Tu Jingjia became serious.

"The last time Princess Wu attended Princess Yi's banquet, Concubine Ming punished her. Although she was not punished externally for attending the banquet of Prince Yi's Mansion, we people still know some inside information and can't hide it from others, but not from us. "

Tu Jingjia nodded slightly, "I feel uneasy when I talk about this. The last time Princess Yi sent me a post, it happened to be that I was not feeling well. I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise."

Tu Jingjia said that she didn't care whether she felt unwell, but in the end, it was just that he didn't go.

"That Sixth Sister-in-law is so lucky. She caught her by surprise." Zhu Chanyi smiled, "Anyway, I won't get involved in Princess Wu's affairs. She wants to be a filial daughter-in-law. She is the one who goes to the palace to pay respects to Concubine Ruan Ming. Regarding the matter, my mother here has said that there is no need to go every day, I just want to go back every three to five days."

Tu Jingjia heard that Zhu Chanyi did not pursue her words, but also clearly expressed her attitude. This was a disguised way of telling herself that she did not want to get involved with Princess Wu.

She got the news from her mother. Although it was not accurate, she knew that the Ji family had not been in peace recently, and now it seemed that it was related to the East Palace.

This time, the Crown Princess asked Princess Rong to give her a message, and she said it so tactfully, because she did not want to get her involved with the Tu family. Thinking of this, Tu Jingjia thought of her mother's words again.

She said that the Crown Princess is a very smart person. Others say that the Crown Princess relies on strength, but do you think she did one thing wrong when she married into the royal family?

On the contrary, she makes people think that she is not easy to mess with. On the contrary, others will not easily provoke her, but avoid her. If they want to plan something, they have to think about whether this matter will offend the Crown Princess. She has a good reputation. Time is a double-edged sword.

Used well, that is a great skill.

The Tu family never gets involved in the disputes in the court easily, so the Crown Princess is considerate of the Tu family's situation, so she is so careful in doing things, right?

Tu Jingjia thought of this and said to Zhu Chanyi: "What the seventh brother and sister said is true, and my mother and concubine also told me the same thing. I also thought that everyone would not go to the same place after entering the palace, so there is no need to go together. "

Zhu Chanyi laughed and said, "What Sixth Sister-in-law said is that if you are not a family, you will naturally not enter the same family."

Tu Jingjia smiled slightly, these words were quite interesting.

Zhu Chanyi had dinner at Prince Jing's Mansion. After Prince Jing returned to the Prince's Mansion at noon, he went over to say hello, but did not stay and turned back to the front yard.

King Jing had a simple lunch by himself in the study, and then fell asleep.

However, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning for a while. The prince went south and soon called King Rong away. Something must have happened in the south.

However, there was no word from the father's side, and there was constant suspicion in the court. But now the father trusted the prince very much, and the courtiers gave him a lot of support. With the help of King Rong, even the concubine Li Guifei and others People said some specious things, and no one of the ministers who supported the East Palace took the initiative to respond.

Why did Princess Rong come to see her own princess at this time?

King Jing was really curious. After Princess Rong left, he went directly back to the backyard to ask his princess.

Tu Jingjia did not expect that the prince would come back suddenly, and was a little surprised to see the person. After listening to his words, her mind whirled rapidly, she smiled and asked King Jing to sit down, and then personally brought the tea, and then sighed and said: " There is something I was thinking about inviting you to come over to discuss after the prince has taken a nap. Now that the prince can come, I am really relieved."

King Jing knew that his princess had a docile temperament and had always been a gentle person. To be able to say such words clearly meant that she was really in trouble. He immediately asked: "Is Princess Rong giving you a hard time?"

As soon as I said it, I felt it was impossible.

Tu Jingjia pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My seventh brother and sister did not bully me, they just came to discuss something with me."

"It's strange that Princess Rong has something to discuss with you." Prince Jing was always straightforward, and he had no scruples about his own princess, so he asked directly.

"These are all matters related to the women in the harem. How could the prince know these trivial matters? It's just that although the matter is small, but it concerns the harem, I don't dare to treat it lightly, so this makes me a little embarrassed." Tu Jingjia sighed again as he spoke.

King Jing was happy, "This is the first time I've seen you worry like this. Let me tell you what's going on. I'll make the decision for you.

"This matter is really indispensable for the prince to explain it to me in front of my mother and concubine. Without you, I don't know how to tell my mother and concubine." Tu Jingjia immediately responded to King Jing's defense with a look of gratitude and approval. , explained the matter simply, and said: "Your Majesty, what do you think I should do?"

King Jing said: "We don't live in the palace, why would we run to the palace when we see the sky? I know you are filial, but those who don't know think that the queen in the palace is making things difficult for you. It's just nonsense."

When Tu Jingjia heard what the prince said, she knew that he did not agree. Moreover, King Jing even said a nice word to Concubine Xian, that is, Concubine Xian was not someone who deliberately made things difficult for his daughter-in-law.

People outside said that Prince Jing was too reckless, but after she married him and the two of them had been together for so long, she gradually felt that her prince was more straight-tempered, but he was not stupid, and he saw things much more clearly.

For example, in this matter, she and Princess Rong caught Ji Yun's other agenda, so they didn't want to cooperate with it.

But King Jing first thought of safeguarding the reputation of the virtuous concubine, and then responded to Ji Yun's filial piety from another level of filial piety.

This undoubtedly provided Tu Jingjia with another idea, so he said with surprise on his face: "What the prince said is, why didn't I think of it? Thanks to the prince's advice, I now know how to refuse to Princess Wu when I reply to her post. ”

King Jing was in a good mood after being praised by his wife. He was never willing to mince words when doing things. Even his own mother and concubine disliked that he sometimes couldn't turn around or speak. He was too straight and unlovable.

But after he married the princess, he never heard a single complaint about himself from the princess. No matter what he said, she could always praise him.

When his mother-in-law chose a daughter from the Tu family for him, although he did not refuse the marriage, he was worried in his heart. With Master Tu's face as a late mother, if his daughter-in-law looked like her father-in-law, she would not be able to survive this life. .

Who would have thought, oh, my father-in-law's temperament could actually raise such a gentle and considerate daughter. It's true that good things come out of bad things, and he has profited from it.

As soon as King Jing was happy, he didn't leave and took his princess to take a nap together.

No wonder everyone wants to marry a wife. Having a good wife really makes a difference.

As for his third brother, King Jing felt that his luck was not very good, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He was a boring gourd, and he ended up marrying a wife who didn't talk much. It just gave him nothing to do. .

Thinking of this, King Jing pondered that if this matter reached Concubine Ruan Ming's ears, Concubine Ruan Ming would be so angry that she wished she could beat Concubine Wu to death.

The daughter-in-law here was chosen by her son himself. Tsk tsk, the eyes of the third brother are really not that good.

King Jing felt refreshed and went to sleep, but Tu Jingjia was tossing and turning, lying quietly on her side, thinking about what Princess Rong had said before.

Although Ji Yun didn't have much contact with her, they were both the daughters of civil servants. In the past, they met more at banquets than with Zhu Chanyi, so they had only a small amount of contact.

She didn't have the impetuous temperament she has now. Why did her temperament change after getting married?

Tu Jingjia didn't quite understand, but she had already made up her mind to keep a distance from Ji Yun in the future. She guessed that there must be reasons why Ji Yun was so troubled this time that she didn't know. If Concubine Ruan Ming knew about it, she would definitely be unhappy again.

And Concubine Xian, if she goes to the palace to pay her respects and she asks about it, what should she say in reply?

The Crown Princess was absolutely not allowed to mention it. He did not hide it when the Princess came to his house, but he could mention one or two words, but he could not say more.

Princess Rong is the Queen's daughter-in-law, so she is different from them.

I was afraid that what I said was inappropriate, and it would be difficult if Concubine Xian misunderstood her.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel, why I can't live my life in peace.

Even if she is like this here, she can think of how many things the Crown Princess has to deal with every day.

The prince is away in Beijing. After all, he and the princess are still related by marriage, so they should come to visit her. The third sister-in-law has always been kind to her, so she can't just think about herself.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the prince. Going to the East Palace is not something she can decide on her own. It also depends on the prince's wishes. If the prince does not want to get too close to the East Palace, what should she do?

Tu Jingjia was a little worried, so she simply closed her eyes and took a nap first.

Su Xinyi couldn't be clean for long, and soon there was news from Aunt Weng's side. Sure enough, after the third master removed the people around Aunt Weng, someone was ready to make a move.

Moreover, the person on Su Xixian's side who encouraged her last time, the Third Master, was also secretly watched, and it was only now that there was any movement.

Su Xinyi stared at the word Chun Cao. She had an impression of Chun Cao because this girl was given to Su Xixian by Aunt Weng. Su Xixian once mentioned that Chuncao was the child of Aunt Weng's dowry girl.

Strictly speaking, Chun Cao is the son of the Weng family.

The only thing that is uncertain now is whether the deed of sale of the Chuncao family is in the hands of Aunt Weng or the Weng family.

If it is in the hands of Aunt Weng, this matter will be easy to handle, but if it is in the hands of the Weng family, it will not be easy to handle.

Su Xinyi is more inclined to believe that the deed of betrayal should be in the hands of the Weng family. Judging from Aunt Weng's dependence on her natal family, and from the fact that she desperately wants one of her children to marry into the Weng family, the Weng family's relationship with Aunt Weng is There should be some precautions or restraint measures.

Looking further down, Chun Cao went to a Wantong tea house, and he went there twice in the past half month. The third master's people couldn't find Chun Cao when they followed him, but the people waiting outside were happy with a stick of incense. When the time comes, you can see spring grass coming out of the tea house.

The third master said in the letter that he had already sent people to check the tea house. It was not a good time to alert others, so he would not take action at the tea house for the time being.

Wantong Tea House?

Su Xinyi didn't have much impression. There were countless tea houses in the capital. Unless they were particularly famous in the capital, other small tea houses really didn't have much in common.

She continued to read the letter, and after reading it, she had an unexpected feeling. The person next to Aunt Weng was Chuncao's mother, the companion whom Aunt Weng had brought from the Weng family.

For example, when she first got married, the Duke's Mansion also prepared a companion house for her, and gave the companion house a deed of sale to herself. This was to tell these companions that she had the right to deal with them.

Now it seems that Aunt Weng's companions, after following her for so many years, still choose to betray her. The only thing is that Aunt Weng cannot control them.

The Third Master's arrangements are well prepared, and they are just waiting to see when the person who contacted Chun Cao will show up.

As long as we grasp this thread, the people behind the scenes who are sowing discord and trying to divide the Duke's government will be able to surface.

It has been extremely calm for several days, with no news coming from the Jiang family, and everything at the Guangping County Prince's Mansion remains the same, with no sign of the engagement being withdrawn.

Su Xinyi told herself not to be anxious, Mrs. Jiang must have her own ideas.

Before there was news from Mrs. Jiang, news from Ji Yun came.

This Princess Wu is "sick".

Aunt She spoke slowly from the side: "Aunt Xu is very cautious in doing things. After getting the news, she didn't do anything immediately. Instead, she asked people to check whether the matter was true or not. That's why she slowly For a few days.”

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "There is a reason why Concubine Ruan Ming was able to raise King Wu in the palace and remain as stable as a concubine."

Not everyone has the ability to survive between cracks.

"What the Crown Princess said is that after Nanny Xu found out the matter, she confirmed that Princess Wu had indeed privately invited Princess Jing and Princess Rong to come to the palace to pay her respects, so she went into the palace to report back to Concubine Ruan Ming. Soon after, Princess Wu fell ill. Now Wu With Nanny Xu in the palace, it will be difficult for Princess Wu to leave the palace."

Su Xinyi thought carefully after hearing the words, "In this case, Mrs. Ji from the Ji family should also take action soon."
