Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Su Xinyi had a deep impression of Zhao Ying. After all, she was the first person left in the draft that day. Later, she also heard several Forsythia talk about her. She was the daughter of the prefect of Qingzhou, and her background was slightly lower than that of several empresses in the palace. Not as good as that, but this face is indeed beautiful, and it doesn't seem surprising that she can become a blockbuster among the few remaining beautiful girls.

But what surprised Su Xinyi was that she actually came together with Concubine Li, which was really strange.

Concubine Li took Guiren Zhao and the queen to see them and then took their seats. She glanced at Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi, with a kind smile on her face, and said, "It's rare to see the Crown Princess and Princess Rong. What kind of behavior are they doing today?" Brought you here?"

Zhu Chanyi frowned. Although Concubine Li smiled kindly, her words sounded so sinister and uncomfortable.

"The Imperial Concubine is serious in her words. The Queen Mother is considerate of the fact that the Crown Princess has to take care of the children, and understands that it is very hard for me to be pregnant, so we are not allowed to enter the palace every day to pay my respects. The Queen Mother is generous and kind, and as juniors, we are naturally filial." Zhu Chanyi's face said He had a faint smile, and if he didn't want Concubine Li to take advantage of him, he wouldn't want to give her a smile.

Su Xinyi glanced at the queen and saw that the queen did not look displeased because of Zhu Chanyi's words, so she continued, "The seventh brother and sister are right. Is there anything dissatisfied with the imperial concubine?"

Concubine Li looked at Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi singing harmoniously, snorted, brushed her armor with her fingertips, and said as if she didn't care: "I don't have any dissatisfaction, as long as the Queen is satisfied."

After saying that, he stopped talking to Su Xinyi and the two of them, but looked at the Queen and said: "Empress, yesterday I was admiring flowers in the Imperial Garden and passed by Fufeng Pavilion. I saw that Fufeng Pavilion was still a bit off. , Zhao Guiren is now favoring His Majesty, in order for her to serve His Majesty better, I think it would be better to change her place, what do you think, My Majesty?"

Su Xinyi lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this. No wonder Zhao Ying and Concubine Li came together because of this matter.

Zhao Ying was able to catch up with Concubine Li so quickly, and she was able to get Concubine Li to speak for her in front of the Queen. She didn't know what kind of deal the two made in private.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi frowned slightly, wondering what the Queen would do.

Just as I was thinking of this, I heard the Empress say: "Your Majesty personally selected Fufeng Pavilion. If Concubine Li is dissatisfied, just go and talk to Your Majesty." After saying that, she looked at Zhao Ying and said, "Zhao Guiren, you have to live with yourself." Not satisfied with the place?"

There are so many concubines in the harem, but not one of them is dissatisfied with the place where they live. For a noble man, letting her live alone in Fufeng Pavilion is already giving her face, but now it makes her mad and even more dissatisfied. .

Zhao Ying stood up immediately after hearing this, with a look of panic on her face, and said, "I am not dissatisfied at all when I reply to the Queen, but the Imperial Concubine is also kind-hearted. I am very grateful to the Imperial Concubine, and I also ask the Empress not to anger the Imperial Concubine."

He said this as if the Queen was an unreasonable person.

The queen's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and she just said: "Oh? How did you hear that I am angry with the imperial concubine?"

Zhao Ying was stunned. She thought about what the queen would say next, but she didn't expect it to be like this. As soon as she heard these words, she knew that something was wrong. She had made a mistake and shouldn't have used the queen to fight with the noble concubine.

She immediately bent over and knelt down, "My Queen, please forgive me. It was my concubine who broke the rules with her unscrupulous words."

"Queen, your Majesty Zhao has just entered the palace not long ago, so she is not familiar with the rules in this palace. This matter has nothing to do with her. It's just that this palace is troubled." Concubine Li frowned and said.

The queen chuckled softly, "It is extremely rare to have a noble concubine get busy. I have known the noble concubine for so many years, but I have never seen her a few times."

Su Xinyi listened to the back-and-forth exchange between the Queen and Concubine Li, and her eyes fell on Zhao Guiren, who was lying on the ground to plead guilty. She always felt that there was something unexpected about the matter, but she couldn't see it yet.

"The Queen, Mr. Zhao will accompany you today." Concubine Li said lightly.

The queen glanced at Zhao Ying and said, "Did you hear what the noble concubine said? If you don't get up quickly, if you are injured, I will not be able to explain to your majesty."

"I am scared, please forgive me." Zhao Ying said as she stood up and stood aside, but did not take the initiative to sit down this time.

Su Xinyi lowered her eyes and said nothing. The queen was fighting with the concubines in the harem. As a crown princess, she naturally couldn't talk too much. Didn’t you see that Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming kept silent?

Su Xinyi's thoughts kept spinning. When she came back to her senses, the queen had already served tea to see off the guests.

Concubine Li took the lead to leave, followed closely by Concubine Zhao, followed by Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming. In an instant, the palace became quiet. Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi looked at each other and were about to get up and leave when they heard the Queen Mother say: " You don’t have to worry. I have been in the harem for so many years and I haven’t seen any monsters. I will ask you about the things you are worried about this time. When I have the news, you can tell me to go back."

Zhu Chanyi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother. With you here, my daughter-in-law can really sit back and relax."

The queen chuckled lightly, even without her help, her daughter-in-law would have gotten the news she wanted with Duke Zheng outside.

Su Xinyi thanked the queen and left Yuanhui Palace with Zhu Chanyi.

Zhu Chanyi rarely came out, so she simply followed Xin Yi to the East Palace to sit for a while.

Su Xinyi asked someone to serve tea. Looking at Zhu Chanyi's frown, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Chanyi said softly: "I was thinking about Zhao Guiren. Why did she and Li Guifei get together? I don't think it was a coincidence."

Su Xinyi shook his head slightly, "I don't know either, but Zhao Guiren's favor stands out from several beautiful girls, which shows that he is someone with some ability."

"I watched her singing harmoniously with Concubine Li today, and I felt a little worried about my mother." Zhu Chanyi sighed.

"The Empress has been sitting in the harem for so many years. Concubine Li is so powerful, but she has never been able to get what she wants. The affairs of the harem are not something you and I can interfere with. All we can do is not to cause trouble for the empress." Su Xinyi did not think that the queen was easy to bully. Zhao Ying believed that she was young, beautiful and favored. If she wanted to use Concubine Li to climb up, she would have to see whether she could hold on until the end.

"I know, I'm just talking to you. Is there anything else I can do? If I had this ability, would I still be able to come to you and sigh?" Zhu Chanyi said helplessly.

Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi, "Anyway, the good news you and I are waiting for is that Concubine Li is so anxious that she will jump over the wall. We don't want to give her a chance to take advantage of her."

Zhu Chanyi nodded, "I know you're right. I've been uneasy even with this Tatar buckle, and I don't know what's going on."

Su Xinyi was naturally uneasy. The two looked at each other and sighed slightly.

Zhu Chanyi couldn't help but ask: "If, I mean if His Highness wants to go on an expedition, do you really want to go?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "Of course it's true."

"Then you can bear to give up the child?"

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment and then gave a wry smile, "To tell you the truth, I can't bear to part with you, but if I have to make a choice, I will still go with you."

Zhu Chanyi nodded, "You did the right thing. Your Highness is the crown prince after all, and his safety is naturally the most important thing."

Hearing this, Su Xinyi said nothing more about this matter, and looked at Zhu Chanyi, "Have you told Duke Zheng about this matter?"

"Are you talking about the prince? Of course you didn't say anything. Now the prince hasn't said whether he wants to go or not. How can I lose his prestige in my parents' house."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "That's right. If Duke Zheng knew about it, I'm afraid he would be mumbling in his heart about how Prince Rong is not stable even if he marries a wife who already has children."

Zhu Chanyi burst out laughing, "That's right, that's all I want."

Zhu Chanyi got up and left in a better mood. Before leaving, she looked at Xin Yi and said, "Don't worry too much. I think His Highness may not really go this time."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Then just wait."

Things were worse than Su Xinyi thought. People from Taishi Li's group obviously had the intention of letting the prince lead the army again, and there was endless debate over this matter in the court.

Su Xinyi's heart has been hanging. Yan Heng has not gone to Zichen Palace in the past few days, which shows that His Majesty has no time to amuse his grandson.

"Princess, the Crown Prince is here."

Su Xinyi immediately said: "Please come quickly!"

Su Yi arrived quickly, and Su Xinyi carried her son out to meet her eldest brother.

Su Yi glanced at the emperor's eldest grandson. He had long heard from his family that Yan Heng looked like his fourth uncle, but he had never had the chance to see him. When he saw him today, he couldn't help but be startled. There was indeed a resemblance between his features and eyes.

He watched for a while, but did not dare to reach out to hug the child. After all, he was the emperor's eldest grandson.

Su Xinyi let her eldest brother see the child, then asked Grandma She to hold it while she sat down and talked to her eldest brother.

"Brother, I haven't gone to court yet, why are you here at this time?" Su Xinyi said in confusion.

Su Yi looked at Xin Yi, "I got a piece of news. This time Taishi Li's people will protect the prince from leading the army."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Isn't this the reason why the court has been arguing endlessly these past few days?"

"It's not just because of this. I received an anonymous letter. The letter said that people from Taishi Li's family would use the rest of Lu Minglin to attack His Highness the Crown Prince." Su Yi said with a solemn expression.

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Brother, is this news accurate?"

Su Yi took out the letter and handed it over, "Look at it."

Su Xinyi took the letter and opened it suspiciously. He couldn't help but be startled and said after thinking: "When Luminglin fell, Fengpingwei was basically scattered. I remember that Fengpingwei was scattered into various groups." From the guardhouse.”

"That's true, but these people may not have no contact in private. After all, they have been with Lu Minglin for so many years, and their friendship cannot be broken up overnight." Su Yi said.

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Look at the meaning of the letter, is this matter handled by people from Taishi Li's group?"

"You can't make false claims without clear evidence, but although this letter is anonymous, I can somewhat recognize the handwriting. It's Li Yiming's handwriting."

"Li Yiming?" Su Xinyi was startled, Li Qingyi's brother, "Brother, are you sure?"

"I also know Li Yiming and have seen his handwriting. Although this letter has been covered up, a person's little habit of writing will not be easily changed. You see, Li Yiming's handwriting is round and full of meaning. , especially the slightly sharp finish.”

Su Xinyi took a closer look and it was really like this. Li Yiming wrote an anonymous letter to his elder brother, which was tantamount to destroying Taishi Li's background.

"Didn't Li Yiming move out of the Taishi Mansion with his parents? Where did he get this news?" Su Xinyi still couldn't believe it easily.

"Although the second wife of the Li family moved out of the Grand Master's Mansion, they have lived in the mansion for decades after all. The relationships among the servants in the mansion are complicated, and they naturally have their own spies." Su Yi didn't think this was a big deal, like their country There are many people in the palace, and the servants are also divided into factions, each with its own master.

"What does that mean, brother?" Su Xinyi looked at Su Yi and asked.

"This matter did not alarm my grandfather. Since he was ill last time, he is now in a low state of mind. No major event will disturb him. I first reported this matter to my father, and then my father discussed it with my second and third uncles, and finally they let him know. Let me ask you what you mean."

Su Xinyi:......

To say this is to say nothing.

Looking at his sister's expression, Su Yi showed a rare embarrassed smile, coughed slightly and said, "It's different now. We have to ask His Highness about the Li family's affairs."

Su Xinyi understood and said, "Okay, I will talk to His Highness about this matter and listen to His Highness's thoughts before sending a message home."

Su Yi nodded, "Master Li is a veteran of the Three Dynasties. This time King Yi's matter was so involved, Master Li was able to escape the disaster with Prince Xiang. The elders in the family mean that if there is no real evidence, they cannot take action easily. If the Li family really With this plan, we must also think of countermeasures.”

Having said this, Su Yi looked at her sister, "If His Highness really wants to go on an expedition, I will ask to accompany you. Don't worry, I will protect Your Highness even if I risk my life."

Su Xinyi's heart trembled. She didn't expect Su Yi to say this, "Brother..."

Su Yi stood up and said, "You don't need to persuade me. This is not only my intention, but also the intention of the family. If His Highness goes on an expedition this time, your second brother will also find a way to join the army. Xinyi, don't be afraid, we will protect you." "

Su Xinyi's eyes suddenly turned red. Even at this moment, she had not mentioned that she had made up her mind to follow His Highness on his expedition. If she had said so, her family would have definitely stopped her.

The eldest brother is her uncle's eldest son and only son. He only has one son who is still so young. How can she let him take risks for her? She can't do it.

"I understand, thank you, brother." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

When Su Yi heard that her sister didn't refuse, she felt slightly relieved, but she was afraid that she would be more aggressive and refuse to agree.

Father is right. When a sister has a child, she cannot only take care of her husband, but also needs to take care of the child. In a dilemma, the child is the most important thing, so the family has to share the burden for her.

"There's one more thing." Su Yi looked at her sister, "Shang Junyan asked me to bring you a letter, but I refused. Is there anything going on?"
