171: Prince Rong Slapped His Mother in the Face

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

A decree was sent to the palace that on the sixth day of the second lunar month, the ladies would enter the palace to be selected and move into Yangde Palace.

Su Xinyi knew about Yangde Palace. After receiving the order, the Dowager called her, looked at her and said: "Your mother should have told you when you enter the palace this time, not to seek merit but to have no faults, and don't stand out in everything. I’m waiting for you to come out of the palace safely.”

Su Xinyi looked at her grandmother and saw a worried look on her face. It was obvious that she was not reassured by her temperament, so she said, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely remember my grandmother's words of instruction."

After hearing this, the Dowager's face softened slightly, she looked at Su Xinyi and said: "Choosing a concubine in the East Palace is not a simple matter. The current queen is the successor, and the relationship with the prince is not very harmonious. In addition, with the presence of King Rong, the prince The concubine will definitely take action when choosing the queen. No matter who she chooses, it has nothing to do with us. You are just here as a foil this time. Remember not to meddle in other people's business and don't cause trouble. The most important thing is to get out of the palace safely. "

"Yes." Su Xinyi responded cautiously. She didn't want to do anything this time. She was just going through the motions. "Grandma, what if the Queen deliberately targets me?"

This possibility is very high. Su Xinyi does not think highly of herself, but whether it is because of Shang Junyan or Yan Qiongsi, she does not have a good impression on the queen.

Mrs. Tai's expression became serious when she heard this, "Then you have to remember that you are a child of the Duke of Qi. Our Su family does not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it. With your grandfather and uncle here, as long as you do the right thing, we will naturally do it for you." support."

Su Xinyi's lips curled up slightly. It felt so good to have the support of her family. "Thank you, grandma. My granddaughter will remember that I will not deliberately cause trouble."

Madam:......

I have a headache, and I always feel that entering the palace is not going smoothly this time.

After coming out of Mrs. Tai's place, Su Xinyi walked briskly. She thought that if she came out after entering the palace, Su Chaoyan's wedding would have been completed long ago. She turned around and went to the third sister's place to add makeup for her in advance.

Su Chaoyan saw Su Xinyi and hurriedly invited her in. Su Xinyi was surprised when she saw that the third sister's room was already quite empty.

Su Chaoyan said sheepishly: "My mother asked me to take away all the things I usually use, so many things in the house have been packed in boxes, and the newly added ornaments that my mother later added have not been delivered yet."

"Second aunt treats third sister very well." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Su Chaoyan nodded, "Sixth sister, why did you come here so suddenly? Is there something wrong with you?"

Su Xinyi took out a palm-sized small box from her sleeve pocket. Although the box was not big, the pattern was simple, and the small gold lock on the box was also very delicately made. She put it on the table and pushed it in front of Su Chaoyan, "Third Sister , I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up with you when you leave the palace when I enter the palace, so I came to add a box to you first. This is my intention. "

Su Chaoyan knew it was valuable just by looking at the box. She hurriedly pushed it back, "There's no need to be so polite between sisters. This thing is too valuable."

"Third sister didn't even open it to look at it, how do you know it's valuable?" Su Xinyi said with a smile.

"Just by looking at the box, you can tell that it is an old item, and by looking at the lock, you can also tell that it is made by a famous artist. Did you buy this from a famous jewelry store in Beijing?" Su Chaoyan pursed her lips and smiled. Although she She doesn't go out much, but she is a girl who grew up in a public house. She has seen a lot of good things, and you can tell them at a glance.

Su Xinyi gave a thumbs up, "Third Sister is really awesome. I have already guessed this. I don't know what to give. This box looks very nice. The things in it are not very expensive. They are just a few pearls. Keep them for Third Sister. If you don’t spend much money on jewelry from now on, just accept it.”

After Su Xinyi said this, Su Chaoyan couldn't refuse anymore and said with a smile: "You are so generous, I really deserve it." After saying this, he paused and said, "Thank you, Sixth Sister."

Su Xinyi frowned, "Third sister, don't blame me for not sending you out of the cabinet. When you get married, if the brother-in-law named Tu bullies you, come back and tell me, and I will support you."

This time Su Chaoyan happily agreed, "With the eldest sister, the Tu family won't dare to bully me easily." After saying this, he looked at the sixth sister and lowered his voice and said to her, "Last time the fourth sister came to me Come here, she has asked Prince Dong carefully and he will definitely not be able to defeat you."

Su Xinyi:......

Seeing Su Xinyi's speechless expression, Su Chaoyan smiled softly. With this, the sixth sister's nervousness and sadness about getting married were reduced a bit.

At noon, Su Chaoyan left Su Xinyi to eat, and sent the girl to invite Su Jingmo and Su Xixian. She also asked her sister-in-law Zeng. Zeng rarely came out to walk around the yard, and everyone hurriedly greeted her when they saw her.

Mrs. Zeng had gained some weight, and her expression looked more relaxed than before. Her brows were less depressed than before. When she saw her sisters, she smiled and said, "I'm not made of porcelain. Don't worry. I'm better now than before." It got better after a while, and my mother told me to come out to get some air. It’s not good to hold it in the yard all the time.”

Everyone sat down and chatted and laughed. Su Chaoyan asked the girl to place various dessert plates, and specially made red date and lotus seed tea for her sister-in-law.

"Sixth sister, you must be careful when entering the palace this time. For the sake of the position of the Crown Princess, you must also be careful about others." Madam Zeng looked at Su Xinyi and said softly, "Logically, I shouldn't say these things, but I You treat me like a real sister. Your eldest brother has not slept well these past few nights since you entered the palace, and I am also very worried. "

"Sister-in-law is right, Xiaoliu, although you are very powerful, you are too soft-hearted and not ruthless. Don't be fooled by others and you don't know what happened. Please go back and teach you some tricks." Su Xixian didn't care now. Aunt Shangweng was sad for spring and sad for autumn, and she felt worried for Su Xinyi when she looked at her.

Su Jingmo nodded, "Only Xiaowu in our family can teach you this, so you should study hard."

Su Xixian's face turned dark when he heard this. What do you mean? You just want to find something to do if you don't quarrel for a day, right?

Su Chaoyan pursed her lips and smiled, and spoke slowly and softly, "We can't help much. I heard from mother that the ladies on the booklet this time are all the best in the capital. After all, they are selecting the crown prince. Father said that the palace Li takes this matter very seriously. Sixth sister, although you will come back after a short walk, others may not think so. "

"Yes, you are still the Lord of Yong'an County personally granted by His Majesty. In terms of popularity, these people combined are not as good as you. Oh, now that I say that, I am even more worried." Su Jingmo frowned.

Mrs. Zeng listened to what the sisters-in-law were saying to each other, and then she said with a smile: "Sixth sister, as long as she stays in peace and contentment after entering the palace, others will not dare to provoke you easily. Our Duke of Qi is not a furnishings.”

Su Xinyi's heart was filled with mixed feelings. She really didn't expect her sisters-in-law and sisters at home to regard her as such a kind person. How could she be?

They all thought she didn't understand the back-house thing, but what they didn't know was that she had more experience than everyone here.

But none of this can be said.

She listened to everyone's suggestions with gratitude, knowing that they all had good intentions, and took them all to heart.

"Does anyone on the list know?" Su Jingmo suddenly asked.

Everyone shook their heads, "I only know a few of them, and I know which family is going to hire someone, but it's hard to say who is running for the election. In our family, only Xiaoliu is not engaged, and what is said to the outside world is that the other sisters are discussing marriage. Yes, this is not a lie. Chaoyan is about to get married, Jingmo has an engagement with the Changnan Hou Mansion, and Xixian's marriage with the Weng family has broken up. These are all certain facts, except for Xiaoliu. Discussed marriage."

Mrs. Zeng looked at everyone and spoke slowly, then looked at Su Xinyi, "Sixth sister, the most important thing for the emperor to select a concubine for His Highness is to have a clean family background. It is impossible for a girl who has been married to be sent to the election. So we can’t guess the candidates for other mansions. The roster is confidential and we will only know it after you enter the palace.”

Su Xinyi nodded slowly, "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."

"It is naturally a big deal for a country's crown prince to choose a princess. How can you find it troublesome?" Su Jingmo glared at Su Xinyi, "Don't talk about it outside. If someone is in the palace, someone might be able to find it for you. If the trouble reaches the ears of the superiors, you know that the Queen is a little dissatisfied with you, so be extra careful."

Su Xinyi immediately said: "Fourth sister, don't worry, I know."

Su Jingmo sighed, "It's over. I'm even more worried when you say that."

Su Xinyi:......

She subconsciously touched her face. Could it be that her face has become weak and vulnerable in this life?

"Xiao Liu, what are you doing?" Su Xixian looked confused as she watched Su Xinyi touch her face, "I know you are beautiful, okay?"

What else can Su Xinyi say? You are right.

She finally knew what it was like when a scholar meets a soldier.

Su Xinyi gained a lot of weird knowledge after one meal. Su Jingmo actually asked Su Xinyi to learn how to show weakness from Aunt Weng, but Su Xixian scolded her.

Su Xinyi went to choose the princess, not the aunt, so what should she learn? Don't teach good children bad things!

The two of them almost rolled up their sleeves and started fighting!

Mrs. Zeng laughed so hard that she held her stomach in joy, and Su Xinyi was also extremely happy. It was Su Chaoyan who persuaded the two of them to stop, and they had a meal full of joy and excitement.

After finishing the meal, I sent my sister-in-law back first to let her rest. Su Jingmo and Su Chaoyan asked for advice on dowry matters, so Su Xixian and Su Xinyi went back together.

On the way back, Su Xixian looked at Su Xinyi and said: "Sixth sister, some of what the fourth sister said makes sense. It's easy to be tough. Girls should be softer. After you enter the palace, don't act like you are outside. There is no shame in taking a step back at a critical moment.”

Su Xinyi knew that she was too soft in her previous life, and she could show weakness to others, but the feelings were hard to describe.

"I know, fifth sister, don't worry, I understand."

"Hey, if you say that, I'm even more worried." Su Xixian sighed, "How discerning do you have to be? The palace is a place for cannibalism. It's easy to be kind-hearted. Do you understand? Doing this doesn't mean you are a bad person. , but you must know that everyone who is running for the crown princess will regard you as their opponent, and you will not know whether what they say or do to you is true or false. If you rush forward with passion, you may bury yourself. "

Su Xinyi smiled, "Okay, I remember."

"I wish you all the best this time in the palace. We will wait for your return at home." Su Xixian looked at Su Xinyi at the fork in the road and said seriously.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Don't worry, Fifth Sister, I will definitely come back."

The weather was not good and gloomy on the day Su Xinyi entered the palace. The carriage coming to pick him up from the palace was waiting outside the residence. Su Xinyi said goodbye to his grandparents and elders before leaving the residence and getting on the carriage.

The fourth lady walked all the way to the carriage, held Su Xinyi's hand, and gave her final words, "Xinyi, don't be afraid if something happens. Your family is waiting for your return."

"Mother, please go back soon. It's still a little cold today. I will definitely come back well." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Madam Su Si let go of her hand, watched the carriage go away, and then turned back.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Xinyi thought of her mother's previous worry, with a smile in her eyes. No matter when, in the past life or this life, her mother has always treated her like this.

It only takes two quarters of an hour to reach the imperial city from the Duke of Qi's Mansion. The carriage did not go directly into the palace gate, but went around to the Jiuxian Gate and went directly into the inner palace from the Jiuxian Gate.

Su Xinyi was not very familiar with this road. In her previous life, she mostly followed the Princess of Pingjing County into the palace from the main palace gate, passed the Danfeng Gate, walked down the horse bridge, and then went all the way to the harem from the Guangfan Gate, Zhaoqing Gate, and Guangshun Gate.

There were already many carriages waiting outside the Jiuxian Gate. Su Xinyi was about to lift the curtain to take a look, and the maid from the palace looked up at her.

Su Xinyi put her hand down. The maid's attitude towards her was not good, but she could not find fault with it either. She was very cold and would not say a single extra word to her.

Su Xinyi was very familiar with this kind of cold treatment. It was obviously from the Queen's hand.

She knew the Queen a little bit. She was a person who would never suffer a loss. Was she trying to show off her power?

In this case, Su Xinyi would naturally not do anything to win over the maid. It would be useless. Maybe if she did it, it would become a handle for the Queen.

The maid's surname was Zhang, and her name was Huiming. At this time, she looked at the famous Princess Yong'an again in surprise. Everyone said that Princess Yong'an had a bad temper and would beat people if they disagreed with her. Now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

She thought that Princess Yong'an would be angry with her for her attitude. She did not expect that this person would be so calm and unconcerned. This was a bit difficult to deal with.

Maid Zhang turned her eyes and said to Princess Yong'an, "Princess, there are many people in front of the palace gate now. You need to wait to enter the palace. It may take a long time. Do you want to get off the car to get some fresh air?"

Su Xinyi turned her head to look at Maid Zhang. She would glare at her before when she lifted the curtain, but now she asked her if she would get off the car?

If she got off the car, other ladies would be waiting in the car. Wouldn't she have a reputation for being unruly?

Will she be able to explain to everyone that it was this maid who asked her to get off the car?

If she denied it flatly, she would suffer the loss regardless of whether she was right or wrong.

The people in the palace are still so powerful. They can dig a pit for her to jump into and can't climb out with just a casual word.

Su Xinyi was not afraid of her. She raised her eyes slightly and said expressionlessly, "Maid Zhang, did anyone get off the other carriages?"

Maid Zhang didn't get off the car yet, so how could she know? But she knew that no one would get off here, and the smile on her face froze slightly.

Su Xinyi threw down this sentence and ignored her, simply closing her eyes to rest. She disdained to pay attention to such a small person, just a lackey.

Maid Zhang was at a loss for words after being asked by Su Xinyi. Seeing that she had closed her eyes, she knew that it would be difficult to explain her mission this time. Who knew why this person was so difficult to deal with.

Su Xinyi slowly calculated the time and could feel the eyes of the maid Zhang constantly looking at her. She felt disgusted and was unwilling to open her eyes to give her a chance.

She didn't want to be wronged, but she was not a stupid big guy without brains.

She waited for nearly an hour before it was her turn to ride in the carriage. Maid Zhang lifted the curtain and went out. Su Xinyi listened to her through the curtain and said, "It's the carriage of the Princess Yong'an of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. The Princess is taking a nap and it's inconvenient to disturb her..."

Dog thing, this is going to trip her up again.

Su Xinyi lifted the curtain directly this time and said with a smile to the palace maid who was checking the list outside the palace gate: "Do you want to check the luggage? Just feel free."

Madam Zhang didn't expect that Princess Yong'an would wake up at this time, and she also lifted the curtain to interrupt her. Her face suddenly became very interesting. The palace maid who checked the list was also an experienced person. He knew something was wrong at a glance.

They had heard of Princess Yong'an for a long time. Who dared to offend this lady easily? They were just small people checking the list at the palace gate. They didn't want to get involved in any grudges with such a big person.

"I am here to greet the county lady. Please forgive me for disturbing her."

Su Xinyi saw that the person who brought the name list was very kind, so she knew that it was not the queen's man. The smile on her face became more friendly, and she spoke softly, "You are here on official business. What do you mean by disturbing me? The luggage is in the car behind. Just check it." She paused here and looked at the person who came with a smile, "Do you need me to get off the car?"

"No, no, just checking the name list as usual." The man smiled and replied, and then asked someone to go to the car behind. When she checked her luggage, she thought that Princess Yong'an had a really good temper. Why did she dress like that outside? She didn't look like that at all. It was really better to meet her in person than to hear about her. She had a very good impression of Princess Yong'an and couldn't help but remind her, "Princess, go straight to Yangde Palace from Jiuxian Gate. There will be palace servants there to pick you up and arrange things. Don't worry." Su Xinyi smiled and thanked her. When she looked up, she accidentally saw the dark face of the maid Zhang. She sneered in her heart. It seems that this person wants to make some trouble on the way to Yangde Palace? Thinking of this, she simply asked the other party how to get there. She asked very clearly, even asking about every turn. Seeing the maid Zhang's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Su Xinyi felt even happier.

With this method, it would actually be possible if she could really deal with the inexperienced self in her previous life, but if she couldn't stand it, she wouldn't be the same fool as before.

After checking the luggage, the person over there came to reply. Su Xinyi watched the person holding the book record the number of luggage on the book. Su Xinyi brought two large boxes, and there were many things in the box. His family had prepared it for him. The people at the palace gate were mainly checking to see if there were any prohibited items. If they found anything, they would detain it.

"County Lord, we have already checked it, please." The person who checked the roster stepped forward and said with a smile.

Su Xinyi said: "Thank you."

Su Xinyi thanked her and lowered the curtain. Soon Ms. Zhang got into the carriage and the carriage started rolling again.

Su Xinyi didn't even look at her this time. She leaned against the soft pillow and lowered her eyes slightly. She could feel that Ambassador Zhang opposite her was slightly agitated.

Because Su Xinyi had deliberately asked for directions to Yangde Palace before, she immediately noticed when the carriage turned in the wrong direction.

Su Xinyi's expression remained unchanged, but she immediately said: "Stop!"

Ms. Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said in a sharp voice: "County Master Yong'an, this is the palace, and there are rules everywhere. You can't just park your car if you want to."

"Really? This is my first time entering the palace, but the person at the palace gate has pointed out the way before. I am obviously going in the wrong direction. How come Ms. Zhang has been working in the palace for many years and doesn't even know the way?" Su Xinyi's eyes Staring at the other party, "Mr. Zhang doesn't remember the road, and neither does the coachman. When I see the palace steward later, I want to ask what's going on."

Ms. Zhang did not expect County Lord Yong'an to be so strong at this moment. She immediately said: "County Lord Yong'an, there is not only one way to Yangde Palace, why are you anxious."

"Really?" Seeing that the carriage hadn't stopped yet, Su Xinyi knew that these people were afraid that they would not listen to her. She lifted the curtain and looked outside. Just as she was hesitating whether to get out of the car, she suddenly saw King Rong with his wife. The man walked quickly from the palace gate in front. This is really a failure of man and God!

"His Royal Highness King Rong!"

King Rong paused, turned his head suddenly, and saw Su Xinyi sitting in the carriage. He was stunned for a moment and then strode over, "Su Xinyi? Why are you here?"

At this point, King Rong's expression suddenly changed slightly. He knew what day it was today. Then he looked at Su Xinyi sitting in the carriage... His expression was quite subtle, and his eyes changed at this moment.

"Your Highness King Rong, is this the way to Yangdeok Palace?"

"Of course not." King Rong was used to working with Su Xinyi. He answered her questions immediately. After answering, he looked a little strange. He kicked the coachman down as soon as he raised his foot, "You are driving the coach." where?"

Su Xinyi also didn't expect that King Rong was so powerful that his own mother would dare to fight him. Well done!

Su Xinyi withdrew her gaze, turned to look at Ambassador Zhang who looked unhappy in the car, and said in a soft voice, "Envoy Zhang, why don't you get out of the car and explain to His Highness?"

"There's another one in the car? Why don't you get out of here!"

Su Xinyi didn't get out of the car, but raised the car curtain and sighed faintly to Wang Rong, "I'm lucky to have met the prince today, otherwise I don't know what would have happened. I feel very scared just thinking about it."

King Rong's soles felt cold. Did Su Xinyi see a ghost?

He subconsciously took a step back, then looked up at her, and saw her frowning and worried. He thought to himself, this is not outside the palace, she can be noisy no matter what, but she is in the palace, and she is a little scared. Yes.

Prince Rong immediately looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Don't be afraid, I will send you to Yangde Palace in person. I want to see who the bastard is behind this!"

Su Xinyi smiled and thanked him.

This is really great, she is your mother.

Hey, if the queen knew that her own son beat her for someone she hated, her face would definitely be quite wonderful.

want to see!
