Once the Crown Prince Joins In

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Su Baiwei was embarrassed to go out at first, but Su Jingmo said: "Sister, it's not your fault. If you don't go out, others will think you are at fault. New𝟲𝟵书吧→𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺"

Thinking of this, Su Baiwei put on the new clothes her mother had prepared for her and took her sisters out.

Sister Jun was taken away by the eldest lady because her daughter was worried that the child would not be able to play well outside.

They were divided into two extra carriages, Su Xinyi and Su Baiwei were in one carriage, and Su Jingmo and three others were following in the rear carriage. After summer comes, the heavy curtains of the carriage are replaced with thin bamboo curtains. When the bamboo curtains are rolled up, a layer of gauze falls down, and the scenery outside can be seen from the car.

The cool breeze blows in along the gauze curtains, making people feel refreshed.

Su Baiwei pointed to the streets outside to Su Xinyi and told her where they were and what they did. It was not boring along the way. When the carriage passed the gate of Golden Square, Su Xinyi saw a familiar figure.

This back figure was so familiar to her that she would not recognize it even if it turned into ashes.

Shang Junyan?

What is he doing here?

This man prides himself on being a gentleman, and Golden Square is a street where famous ladies and young men from various families in Kyoto like to come to eat, drink and play.

Here you can buy the most beautiful clothes, customize the most luxurious jewelry, eat the most delicious wine and food, and listen to the best opera troupes.

People like him would disdain to come to such a luxurious place to have fun. After all, in their hearts they only have great talents and great plans, and a bright future in officialdom.

Shang Junyan seemed to feel something and looked back. Just as the wind blew up, the thin gauze curtain rolled up a corner, and Su Xinyi's face appeared in front of him.

The two people looked at each other, separated from the noisy street and the crowds of people, Shang Junyan's throat moved, and he subconsciously took a step forward, but the white gauze curtain fell again, and everything became silent.

Shang Junyan was in a trance. Yes, she was no longer his wife, and she would not be standing where he could see her when he turned around.

In the past, he only felt bored. Ever since that day when he heard his mother and sister talking about her in private, whenever he had free time, he couldn't help but think about those things in his previous life, how true or false they were.

He felt like he was going crazy.

Su Baiwei also took a look outside and said casually, "Hey, I seem to have seen Prince Shang from Pingjing County Prince's Palace? Why is he here?"

"Really? I didn't see it." Su Xinyi didn't want to mention this person. Although the two of them had never met in this life, the suffering she had suffered could not be erased just by starting over.

She told herself that as long as they didn't mess with her, she would treat them as if they didn't exist, and try not to take revenge for things that hadn't happened.

However, as long as she saw them, it was difficult for her to be calm and really not care.

The hardships she had endured, the sins she had suffered, every word they scolded her and every word they ridiculed her was like a knife leaving a mark on her bones.

It hurts so much, how can you just forget it?

She is not a god or a Buddha. She cannot save sentient beings, nor can she save herself.

The carriage stopped, and Su Xinyi felt relieved. He raised the curtain and jumped out of the car. Su Baiwei smiled and didn't stop her, and got out of the car. Outside, Rendong had already set up the pedals and helped her get down safely. On the ground.

Forsythia retracted her arm calmly. Well, her arm was just sore. She wanted to stretch it out.

The Yuande Theater stands in the most conspicuous place of Huangjinfang. The three-story theater building has cornices and brackets, and it looks very imposing with its golden paintwork.

As soon as they got off the bus, a theater clerk came up to them, invited them in very attentively, and took them directly to the third floor.

The entire theater is in a semicircle, with Nuo Da's stage in the middle. The left half of the wing on the third floor was occupied by Jiang Ruolan, who immediately came up to them when he saw them. new

"Sister Bai Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, you still look so charming." Jiang Ruolan said with a smile.

Su Baiwei also smiled and said: "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. When I see Aunt Jiang later, I will ask what I have eaten for you all day."

Speaking of the Jiang family, a noble family of civil servants, the Duke of Qi is a noble family, and people from both sides don't have much contact with each other.

Firstly, civil servants and nobles have always disliked each other, and secondly, it was also to avoid being suspected by His Majesty of their personal friendship with each other.

However, they are all female relatives of the house, so it doesn't matter if they have more interactions, especially since Mrs. Su Si and Su Xinyi have a good relationship with the Jiang family. Even if others know about it, they will not criticize them.

Jiang Ruolan asked people to bring refreshments and introduced them: "My mother and the others came to the theater a few days ago. I heard she said that the theater has a new snack called Jade White Jade Rouge Crispy. It is very delicious. I want to come. If you don’t want to go out alone, I invite everyone to come and try it together.”

"The name sounds nice. I want to eat it when I hear it." Su Xixian said with a smile, "Thank you Miss Jiang for the hospitality."

Things were brought up. There were peony-shaped snacks on a palm-sized white jade plate. The outer layer of peony leaves was gently holding them, and then there were white jade-like petals and carmine-red stamens. Waiting for the waiter on the side to pick them up. Gently cut open with a silver knife, the peonies bloom in layers, which is really beautiful.

Su Xinyi also found it interesting. She had never seen such a snack before. She picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted sweet and crispy, with a hint of peony flowers. It was indeed delicious.

Everyone was full of praise. Jiang Ruolan was very happy and said softly: "They also grow tea at home. It's called Jiangshan Junzi Tea. I ordered it too. Let's try it later."

When it comes to eating and drinking, these ladies really have a lot in common, and the conversation became lively for a while.

Su Xinyi never paid attention to these eating and drinking. She would eat more if there was something delicious, and she could even swallow the dumplings with dried vegetables if they were not delicious.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice coming from the next door, "Please, gentlemen, the box on the right has been reserved for a few distinguished guests."

The private rooms on the left and right are bounded by stairs in the middle, and bamboo curtains are hung on each side. Only a few figures can be seen vaguely through the curtains, and it is not clear which one they belong to.

Su Xinyi didn't pay attention, but when she heard Shang Junyan's voice, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. What a coincidence?

When they heard someone coming from the other side, they lowered their voices to avoid indecent comments.

Because the middle is suspended in the air, which is convenient for listening to the opera, the boxes on both sides are not closed, and roller blinds are also hung on the side facing the stage. These jade-white roller blinds are made of ivory silk, which is noble and elegant.

As soon as the curtain falls, the two sides disappear from each other and are very private. However, the sound needs to be controlled and slightly louder so that it can be transmitted to the other side.

But when the gongs and drums on the stage are beaten, it becomes a natural place for talking. The loud sound of gongs and drums hides any sound.

The ivory curtain on Su Xinyi's side was only half lowered to make it easier to watch the show. The curtain on the opposite side had not been rolled up yet. She could vaguely see that there were seven or eight people on the opposite side. After they sat down on the other side, the curtain was still not rolled up. His voice was also low, and he didn't know what he was saying.

Su Xinyi lowered her eyes and told herself not to meddle in other people's business. She had nothing to do with Shang Junyan now. She just came to watch the show, so just watch the show.

At this time, a gong sounded on the stage, and the originally noisy theater gradually became quiet, and everyone was waiting for the play to start.

The gongs and drums on the stage were beaten progressively, and with a graceful and melodious voice, a graceful beauty in costume came out and started singing.

Su Xinyi was really not interested in listening to the opera. After listening to a few words, he felt sleepy.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but smile when she saw her like this.

Su Xixian reached out and poked Su Xinyi's waist. Su Xinyi perked up and said with a stiff mouth, "I am listening too deeply. New ᴄᴏᴍ"

Everyone was happy, lowered their voices and smiled softly, and then listened carefully to the play again. Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat there with her back straight and watched the people on the stage singing with full concentration. She was distracted while listening, and suddenly she heard the three words "Yan Shizi" coming from the opposite side...

The only person in the capital who can be called the Crown Prince of Yan is Yan Congjia, the elder brother of Yan Qiongsi, the Prince of Guangping County.

Huh?

On the opposite side today are not only Shang Junyan but also Yan Congjia?

Su Xinyi's mind couldn't help but be attracted to the person opposite. She couldn't help but concentrate on listening to the movement on the other side. She didn't know what was being said over there, the voice was very low. Just when she was not ready to listen anymore, she heard again Calling Mr. Jiang...

Jiang...the one who can listen to the opera with these people, the one named Jiang...is the second in line...isn't that the son of Concubine An of Dongli Palace, Jiang Mozhou, the bastard of Dongli Prince?

This is even more strange, how did these people get together?

Shang Junyan claimed to be a gentleman from a well-known family, and rarely hung out with these dandies, especially Yan Congjia, who was good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, looked like a human and dog, and never did serious things.

Su Xinyi didn't have much curiosity at first, but things changed when Jiang Mozhou appeared. Princess Dongli is still fishing with her wounds. Although he, a bastard, doesn't have to go to his aunt's mother to pay her respects every day, it's not good to be in this kind of situation. Sometimes he even appeared openly in places like theaters.

What exactly is going on?

The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more suspicious the matter became. Although she told herself not to get involved, she couldn't sit still because this was not a case involving Wu Shun from Princess Dongli.

Wu Shun is still in detention and has not been released. It can be seen that the case has not been closed yet, and last time it involved the Dongli Palace and the salt merchant Ma Rude. Her eldest sister and Li were because of their plot. All these factors combined, she is really I can't sit still.

She said that Shang Junyan had memories of his previous life, and he would definitely continue to serve King Rong in this life. Look, didn't he, a gentleman whom she considered to be a gentleman, still get involved with these people?

Just thinking about how he was going to be unfavorable to the prince, and it also affected her eldest brother's future and her marriage to her eldest sister, how could she still sit still?

Su Xinyi stood up quietly and said with a smile, "I'll go change and I'll be back in a moment."

"Go, do you want me to accompany you?" Su Baiwei asked hurriedly.

Su Xinyi immediately shook her head, "No, I may have to wait a little longer. My stomach is a little uncomfortable. You can just watch the show."

Su Baiwei immediately nodded considerately, "Then go quickly."

Su Xinyi smiled at a few people, then turned around and lifted the curtain and left.

She lifted the curtain and came out, then walked lightly, trying not to disturb the people on the other side. She walked down the stairs, took a few steps, looked at Forsythia who was following her and said, "You don't have to follow me, go to Front Street." Baiweizhai will buy some candied fruits, and when the fruits come back, Miss Jiang will treat us to a treat, and we will also add some toppings."

Forsythia hesitated for a moment, then listened to the girl say again: "I'm just staying in the theater and won't go out. Besides, if something happens to me, can ordinary people beat me? Anyway, it's not your girl who's going to suffer, so go ahead."

Forsythia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only say: "Slave, go and come back quickly. Girl, be careful."

"Go, go." Su Xinyi smiled and waved her hand. After watching Forsythia go downstairs, she did not go to the clean room, but walked in the direction of the clean room, then climbed over the window and used the window to Leng climbed up, gently pushed open the window of the right wing, and climbed in gently.

The layout on the left and right sides of the third floor was the same. She had carefully looked at the private rooms on their side. Outside there were tables and chairs for watching theater, and there were several small rooms at the back, two of which were used for guests to take a nap. There is also a utility room for storing things.

Su Xinyi settled in this utility room. This place was not big. There was a closet and two low tables. There was a nanmu clothes hanger next to the low table. There was nothing on the shelf except for a hollow hanging in one corner. The exquisite silver aromatherapy ball exudes a faint fragrance.

She stood gently against the wall, listening to the sounds outside through the thin bamboo curtain.

I don't know if she came at the wrong time. There were only sounds from the stage outside. She stood there quietly, but she was a little anxious. She didn't have much time. These people were talking about joy before, why now? No sound?

Just when she was waiting anxiously, she suddenly heard someone say, "What are you thinking, Prince Shang? Not everyone can encounter such a good thing, don't you think so?"

This voice is a bit strange. What kind of deal do these people want to do with Shang Junyan?

"I am just a scholar. I only like reading. I have never been involved in business and have no interest in it. I am afraid that I will disappoint Second Young Master Jiang."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. It turned out that the person who spoke before was Jiang Mozhou. This person actually wanted to personally persuade Shang Junyan to join the team. The business he mentioned was definitely not just for fun.

Su Xinyi couldn't help but think of the involvement between Concubine An and Ma Rude. Could it be that the business Jiang Mozhou mentioned was related to Ma Rude?

"Jun Yan, why are you in a hurry to refuse? This business is extremely profitable. I asked you to join us because everyone is familiar with it. Otherwise, who would easily bring people in to such a good business, right?"

Yan Congjia?

Su Xinyi was naturally familiar with Yan Congjia's voice. After all, this man and his sister Yan Qiongsi had shown their presence in front of her all their lives.

To be honest, Yan Congjia was really a dandy, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking. In her previous life, the princess of Guangping County had to clean up the mess for her son.

This kind of person would dare to do anything for money. Jiang Mozhou's ability to recruit him into his gang was obviously not as simple as making money for everyone.

"Is this why you insist on me coming today?" Shang Junyan looked at Yan Congjia and said coldly. He looked at everyone now as if they had two skins, one face on the outside and another face on the inside. This feeling made him uncomfortable.

"Yes, isn't this a good thing? Yanyin's business is like giving it to you for free. Isn't it easy to get some Yanyin in your capacity?" Yan Congjia said with a rogue smile, "I can share it with you after the job is done. This number!”

Su Xinyi couldn't see what gestures Yan Congjia made through the curtain, but he heard Shang Junyan speak.

"Fifty thousand taels? What a big deal!" Shang Junyan's voice calmed down, "It's indeed a good business. You can get so much money just by talking."

"That's right, if we weren't good brothers, how could such a good thing happen to you?" Yan Congjia laughed.

"Yan Shizi's words make sense. Shang Shizi has nothing to hesitate about. I have reliable connections here. As long as you nod your head, you can easily get a large amount of money." Jiang Mozhou's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face became even brighter. Really true.

Shang Junyan lowered his eyes slightly and suppressed the anger boiling in his eyes. In his last life, he went south to investigate the Yanyin case. He encountered ambushes several times along the way, and once he was seriously injured and almost died there.

He never expected that salt merchants had already penetrated into the capital at this time, and even got involved with Jiang Mozhou and Yan Congjia.

No wonder, no wonder the investigation of Yan Yin's case in his previous life was blocked at every turn and he was in danger several times.

Only his family members knew about his move south, but her mother wanted to marry the Guangping County Prince, so she might have told the Yan family in private about his move south...

Shang Junyan felt bitter, so this was retribution, right?

His mother wanted to get rid of Su Xinyi and let her marry Yan Qiongsi, but she didn't know that Yan Congjia had secretly made a shady deal with the salt merchant. What she revealed about his whereabouts almost became a sharp knife that sent him to hell.

There were still many things that Shang Junyan didn't understand, but now with this new discovery, he knew that the Yan Yin case that had not been investigated in his previous life was more involved than he expected.

His heart was shaking. He had decided to go to the Hanlin Academy to study in this life, but... But now this case was brought to him in such a way, which made him furious and itchy. He couldn't bear to treat these court bugs. If you dig it out, how can you calm down the anger in your heart?

Shang Junyan suppressed the emotions in his heart, raised his head and spoke with some interest, "Second Young Master Jiang, it's really surprising that there is such a way. Although you said that this way is reliable, doing business is risky. Sometimes just saying it won't do, let alone a lucrative salt business, right?"

Jiang Mozhou himself had little contact with Shang Junyan, and it was only through Yan Congjia that they had the chance to meet today.

He knew that Shang Junyan was not someone as easy to fool as Yan Congjia, so he was not surprised to hear what he said. He smiled and said, "That's natural. If Prince Shang is interested, I will naturally show my sincerity."

Su Xinyi listened to the conversation of several people, and after thinking about it, she never thought whether Shang Junyan had joined these people in his previous life. It turned out that these people wanted to recruit Shang Junyan to join the gang. No wonder these people got together.

After Su Xinyi got the news she wanted, for fear of disturbing others, she quietly retreated from the original path. She stood at the top of the stairs, looked in and saw that Forsythia had not come back yet, so she simply waited for her to come back and went back together. Sora gathered his thoughts.

She had just taken a breath and was still thinking, when she felt the bamboo curtain next to her move. She looked up and saw Shang Junyan walking out of it with a heavy face.

Shang Jun Yanmeng was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Xinyi here. Su Xinyi never thought of such a coincidence, thinking that it was lucky that he retreated when he saw the situation, otherwise he might have been caught if he had been slower.

Su Xinyi originally wanted to wait for Forsythia, but when Shang Junyan appeared here, she turned around and left.

When Shang Junyan saw it, he remembered how his mother and sister were unkind to her, and he had no face to talk to her. However, what he said about Yan Yin today, and the meaning revealed in Yan Congjia's words seemed to have something to do with the Duke of Qin, so he could only force it. He yelled at her.

"Miss Six, stay." Shang Junyan took a quick step to catch up with her and stop her.

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, took a step back, and then said, "Shang Junyan, what are you going to do?"

Shang Junyan looked at Su Xinyi's guarded eyes, with a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he also knew that there was no time for him to waste now, so he immediately said: "Although it is a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask, are Miss Su and Li Guijia going together?" Any other secrets?"

Su Xinyi didn't expect Shang Junyan to ask this, so he said, "Why are you asking this? What does it have to do with you?"

"I know it's presumptuous to ask this, but this matter involves a case. Su Xinyi, you know I'm not just talking nonsense, so just treat me as sincerely asking for advice." Naturally, Shang Junyan couldn't tell what happened to Yan Yin. Such a major event is full of dangers, and there is no benefit in letting Su Xinyi know.

Su Xinyi knew from these words that Shang Junyan might have suspected Yan Yin, but she also didn't understand. He hadn't been officially appointed yet, so what was the benefit to him of caring about these things?

Moreover, Yan Qiongsi is involved, isn't he afraid that the marriage will be messed up?

However, this is not bad for her.

Su Xinyi glanced at Shang Junyan, looked embarrassed, and then slowly said, "There is a secret, but..." At this point, she lowered her voice, "Shang Junyan, you are not the same as in the previous life. If you have an official position, you are not afraid of getting burned? This may involve the Guangping County Prince's Palace, which your father has always wanted to marry you to."

Shang Junyan's face darkened when he heard Su Xinyi's words, "You know everything? How do you know this?"

"Prince Shang really loves to joke. What can I know? I know nothing." Su Xinyi sneered.

Shang Junyan's face turned darker. He looked at Su Xinyi and almost gritted his teeth and said, "Su Xinyi, don't be ridiculous. If you really know something, it's best not to get involved. Those people are cruel and can do anything." It can be done.”

Su Xinyi was filled with doubts. Just as she was about to ask for more information, she saw someone coming out from behind the curtain. When she saw them, she was surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this Miss Su Liu? Why, she's chasing Prince Shang on the court?" If you don’t let go, are you going to come to the theater now?”
