Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Just a box of books would inevitably feel a bit too far-fetched.

The eldest lady thought for a while, looked at the fourth lady and said, "Fourth sister, you are also from a scholarly family. I thought it would be better for you to try Su Qi's wife tomorrow?"

The Fourth Madam would have never agreed before, but now she nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Qi's daughter-in-law has not passed the door. We have also joined her twice. It seems that the little girl has a good temperament. Maybe she is really married." If anything happens, I can tell my family."

"I hope it's okay." The second lady said to the fourth lady, "It's all thanks to the four brothers and sisters."

"The whole family is talking about this, second sister-in-law."

The third lady stood up after hearing this, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Is a box of books worth such a big fanfare? Second sister-in-law, if you don't have anything else to do, I will go back first."

The second lady agreed with a smile, and the third lady left. It had been a busy day today, and she was really tired from supporting the guests inside and outside.

As soon as the third lady left, the eldest lady and the fourth lady also said goodbye.

After coming out, the eldest lady looked at the fourth lady and said softly: "Fourth brother and sister, what do you think about this matter?"

The fourth lady shook her head, "Sister-in-law, this kind of thing is just our guess, and I can't say. However, books are very important to a scholar's family, especially books with inheritance value."

The eldest lady's face was a little gloomy. She knew that the fourth lady must have felt something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything without evidence.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the second wife will also be the younger generation who will take charge of this house in the future. If there is any problem, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

The two separated at the intersection.

The fourth wife also felt uneasy after returning, so she wrote a letter to her natal sister-in-law to inquire about the Zhao family.

The letter was delivered quickly. Mrs. Gao was quite surprised when she received it. She was stunned when she opened it. She had never heard anything happened to the Zhao family.

But the things mentioned in her sister-in-law's letter also seemed a bit strange to her, so she called her mother, who was in charge, and told her, "Go and find out in person whether the Zhao family has encountered anything strange recently."

"Zhao family?" The steward's mother was stunned for a moment, then understood, "Zhao Hanlin family? I haven't heard anything about it, so I'm going to inquire about it."

"Go ahead and inquire more carefully. It's best to ask someone in the mansion."

"This is a bit difficult. Why don't I take the purchasing manager from the kitchen of our house?"

The person in charge of purchasing in each house is the one who is most knowledgeable about the information. The capital is such a big place, and the markets and shops where each house goes to buy things are similar, so everyone in each house looks very familiar. Can say a few words.

If you really want to inquire about the news in the house, they really can do it.

Su Xinyi didn't know that something happened to the Duke's Mansion after she left. She took the two little ones back to the East Palace and placed them in a side hall of her palace. Then she reorganized the palace and dressed it up like children. look.

He also took Xie Kun and Sister Jun to the martial arts field. Sister Jun, a little girl, was not interested in these at all. However, Xie Kun felt that the martial arts field here in the East Palace was different from the one at home and in the Duke's Mansion. It was so similar that I was immediately interested.

However, it was getting dark, so Su Xinyi just let him have a look and took them back to the main hall.

After returning, Xie Kun stared at Su Xinyi with bright eyes, "Sixth Aunt, can I go to the martial arts field tomorrow morning?"

Su Xinyi smiled, "You can go if you want, but don't practice the plum blossom pile on the martial arts field lightly. It is not prepared for children. You must pay attention to safety."

Xie Kun agreed, but his eyes kept rolling.

Su Xinyi didn't say a word when she saw it, she just smiled. Although she had no experience in raising children, she had also been with children herself and knew what children liked best.

After dinner in the evening, he took them to the side hall to settle down. Su Xinyi told them about hunting in the mountains before. Sister Jun fell asleep after listening to it for a while. Xie Kun was in high spirits and thought it was very novel. .

"Sixth Aunt, you were so young at that time, weren't you afraid?"

Su Xinyi watched Xie Kun ask her in a lowered voice, as if he was afraid of waking up Sister Jun, so she lowered her voice and replied, "Are you scared now?"

Far away from home, to a completely unfamiliar place, with only my stepsister by my side.

Xie Kun didn't expect Aunt Six to ask him this question. He thought it was something different, but he still thought about it seriously and then said, "I was scared when I first came here, but now I'm not scared at all."

Su Xinyi reached out and patted Xie Kun on the shoulder, "Yes, Aunt Six was scared when she first entered the forest, but she became less scared after a while. Xie Kun, you are a very smart child, but, little child Don’t worry so much, you should learn what you should learn and do what you should do, do you understand?”

Xie Kun:......

Seeing the little guy's surprised look that he couldn't hide, Su Xinyi flicked his forehead and said, "Your father loves you very much. Your stepmother, who is also my sister, is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person. You are The eldest son of the Jie family, you will have many things on your shoulders in the future, but you should not be defensive or distrustful of your relatives."

Xie Kun's entire villain froze, and the smile on his face seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Su Xinyi herself had been prepared, made mistakes, lost, and regretted back then, so she hoped that the little guy in front of her would be luckier than her in the previous life.

Children who are too smart and sensitive are destined to be unhappy.

Xie Kun should not take such a path.

Xie Kun's small body was curled up in the brocade quilt. On another couch in the palace was Sister Jun who was already asleep. Across the curtain was the maid keeping vigil. Although he had his eyes closed, he couldn't fall asleep. .

He lay there motionless, even the sound of his breathing kept the same rhythm, just because he was afraid that the night watchman would find that he was not asleep.

His memory of his biological mother has become increasingly blurry, and the only thing he remembers is the Jiao family's appearance every time they see him.

He will be asked to do many things and ask him to speak for the Jiao family in front of his father. His father loves him very much, but there is something in his eyes that he cannot understand now.

Although he didn't understand it, he could feel that it was not a good thing.

The princess was right, her stepmother was a very good person, she treated him well, cared about him, loved him very much, and raised him like Sister Jun.

However, others said that his stepmother was so kind to him because she wanted to flatter him and kill him.

Because his stepmother gave him a younger brother.

He will make way for his younger brother in the future.

He felt that it might not be right, but everyone said so, and he felt that he was wrong?

Therefore, he is more cautious in what he says and does, and he dares not let people see what he is thinking or what he wants to do.

He is afraid, because once others know what he is thinking and what he wants to do, they will either destroy what they think they should not do or have, or they will coax him and deceive him.

He hid it so well, how did the Crown Princess find out?

My father said that the Crown Princess was a very smart and powerful person.

really.

Xie Kun was very annoyed. For the first time, he didn't know what he should do.

Early the next morning, Su Xinyi was not surprised to see that Xie Kun was not very energetic. She pretended not to notice and invited the two little guys to eat.

The table is full of food that children like to eat. Even the steamed buns are shaped like small animals. Sister Jun is reluctant to eat the ones she likes.

Su Xinyi smiled and talked to them, looked at Sister Jun and asked: "After dinner, what do you want to do, Sister Jun?"

Shi Yun tilted his little head and said crisply: "Aunt, I want to go to the martial arts field."

Su Xinyi smiled, "Didn't you like it there yesterday?"

"But my brother likes it, so I will accompany him." Shi Yun smiled sweetly.

"Okay, I'll go with you too." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Xie Kun looked at Sister Jun and then at the Crown Princess, then lowered his head to eat.

"Brother, aren't you happy?" Shi Yun turned his head and looked at his brother in confusion.

Xie Kun said immediately: "I'm not unhappy, I just want to finish my meal quickly."

"Oh, I know. My brother wants to go early, so I can eat quickly." Shi Yun held a small bowl and gulped down the porridge, as if I was really working hard to eat.

Su Xinyi also picked up the bowl, "Auntie, eat quickly."

Xie Kun:......

He saw the narrowness in the Crown Princess's eyes, she must have done it on purpose.

The sun was very bright today, and the three of them were walking on the way to the martial arts field. Sister Jun ran in front like a little butterfly, Xie Kun followed behind and watched carefully, and Su Xinyi followed them thoughtfully.

Sister Jun was very young when she married into the Jie family with her eldest sister. She probably had no memory of her biological father. In the past few years, the Jie family and his son have been with her. Seeing how trusting and dependent she is on Jie Kun, in ordinary times This is probably how Xie Kun treated her when she was Ning Wei.

Although this guy has deep thoughts, he is really kind to Sister Jun.

Su Xinyi did not use swords and guns easily now, so she called a few guards to play with Xie Kun. She took Sister Jun to accompany her.

Sister Jun squatted on the ground and looked at her brother, as if she didn't dare to disturb him, and her voice was low, "Auntie, do you think my brother will win?"

"Do you want your brother to win?"

"Of course, but my brother is too short. He will definitely not be able to beat an adult. My brother is so pitiful. Auntie, why did you ask an adult to beat my brother? Can't you use a villain instead?"

Su Xinyi:......

She felt that she might not be a very friendly adult in Sister Jun's heart.

"Sister Jun, my brother will grow up. Now there are adults accompanying him to spar with him. When he grows up, he will be very powerful."

"Wow, is it true?" Shi Yun's eyes lit up, "Mom said, my brother needs to be very powerful to protect us."

Su Xinyi listened to Sister Jun's childlike words with a soft smile in her eyes, "You are right, a brother needs to be very powerful to protect his sister and brother."

Xie Kun was quickly thrown to the ground, but he quickly got up again, his fighting spirit still high.

Su Xinyi thought about giving him a handy weapon. Jie Kun from Pingning Guard had already prepared it for him, but it was just not easy to bring him with him when he came to the capital.

Thinking of this, she sent someone to invite Zhang Jian.

After Zhang Jian heard this, he smiled and said: "This is not a big deal, Princess. I don't know what kind of weapons you want to make. Swords, guns, swords and halberds must have some appearance."

Su Xinyi observed Xie Kun carefully and found that his usual moves seemed to be with a knife, so he said: "Just use a knife. It should be about this long, and the curvature of the blade should be slightly deeper..."

Zhang Jian kept this in mind, turned around and retreated.

After Xie Kun exchanged moves with others, he glanced at the plum blossom pile. Unfortunately, he had short calves and was really powerless.

Su Xinyi was amused and waved him over, "Do you practice this at home?"

As he spoke, he poured a cup of hot tea to quench his thirst, and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Xie Kun was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't hide away. He lowered his head to drink tea and nodded after hearing the words.

"This is for adults, you can't use it. Later I'll have someone make a set for children, what do you think?"

Xie Kun shook his head, "Sixth Aunt, don't bother me, I'll be back after a few days..."

"Do you want it?" Su Xinyi rarely interrupted Xie Kun and asked him.

Xie Kun looked up at the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi looked at him and did not move his eyes away.

One big and one small, four eyes collided with each other. I don’t know how long it took, but Su Xinyi heard Xie Kun spit out one word, "Think."

"Say what you want, don't make excuses to refuse. I am your aunt, not an outsider, and I don't need hypocritical politeness." Su Xinyi said.

After saying that, he ordered to the delphinium: "Have someone add a set of plum blossom stakes for children here."

"Yes, Crown Princess." Delphinium bowed in agreement, then turned around to deliver the message.

Xie Kun put down the tea cup in his hand. Although he was sitting there politely, his eyes kept turning.

Su Xinyi said: "If you want to play, just go."

Xie Kun hesitated and looked sideways at Sister Jun.

Su Xinyi said again: "Sister Jun is here to talk to me."

Xie Kun felt that no matter what he was thinking, the Crown Princess could guess it.

Su Xinyi looked at Xie Kun and turned away, curled up the corners of her mouth, and said to Sister Jun, "Shall we go over there and play on the swing?"

Sister Jun happily agreed, holding her aunt's hand while walking and said: "Aunt, you are just like my dad. My dad also built a swing for me, not far from my brother's martial arts practice. In the summer, there is a swing set for me." Weave a garland and it will look beautiful and fragrant."

"Did your father pierce it for you?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile.

"Yes, my mother didn't pierce me because she thought I was causing trouble for my brother."

Su Xinyi laughed, "Are you making trouble?"

Sister Jun stopped talking, her eyes flying around.

Su Xinyi was so happy that she asked Sister Jun to sit on the swing while she watched from the side.

Sister Jun's laughter soon reached Xie Kun. Su Xinyi looked at him and looked back, then started wrestling with someone again.

"Princess."

When Su Xinyi heard Nanny She's voice, she turned around and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Aunt She took a step forward and said, "Please come over from Yuanhui Palace. Something happened with Concubine Li."

Su Xinyi was stunned when he heard this, "What happened to Concubine Li?"

"The Queen beat Concubine Li."

Su Xinyi:......
