The days of waiting for selection in the palace were much easier than Su Xinyi had imagined. Since the female corpse appeared in Xiaoyuqing Pool, the queen has not shown up in Yangde Palace, but the daily test tasks have not stopped.

Embroidery on the first day, calligraphy on the second day, painting on the third day, and chess for everyone in Yangde Palace on the fourth day to finally decide the winner.

Su Xinyi is an upper-middle level in chess, and she followed her family's instructions to keep a low profile, so she decisively lost to Zhu Chanyi when playing chess.

Waiting for the fifth day is to play the piano. This time it was Concubine Li who came to sit in charge. Su Xinyi always felt that Concubine Li's eyes looking at her were not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. After thinking about it, she played the most common flute for country people.

That cheerful and loud sound made everyone silent.

In just a few days, Su Xinyi's popularity in Yangde Palace became better and better. Even when Xu Yuru was looking for trouble with her, she didn't have to do it herself. Others gathered together and said one thing and fought back. She didn't shut herself up because she was mentally strong and had strong fighting power.

The only thing that Su Xinyi found strange was Pei Nianwei. The happier she was in Yangde Palace, the more depressed Pei Nianwei's spirit became. She was not sociable and didn't get close to anyone. She stayed alone in the West Palace or outside the palace all day.

Until one day, Su Xinyi accidentally discovered that the maid next to Pei Nianwei secretly went to see Huang Zhuo. She was far away and couldn't see clearly at that time. She only saw Huang Zhuo reaching out to take something, putting it in his arms and running away. The direction he went back was Shaoyang Courtyard.

Su Xinyi knew that Huang Zhuo was a person trusted by the prince because of her experience in her previous life, but if Pei Nianwei also knew it, it meant that the cousins ​​were not familiar with each other in public, but not necessarily behind the scenes.

She retracted her gaze and walked back slowly. After a few steps, she looked back again for some reason, but there was no one there.

Su Xinyi felt that her mood was a little strange. Pei Nianwei and the prince were cousins, and the prince's mother was Pei Nianwei's aunt. Isn't it normal for them to be close?

She took a deep breath and decided to forget what she had just seen, and strode back to Yangde Palace.

At this time, Huang Zhuo returned to Shaoyang Courtyard and ran into Yang Jin. He stopped and greeted him, "Lord Yang, are you leaving the palace?"

Yang Jin was busy with the business of the caravan. Now that the sixth lady was in Yangde Palace, she couldn't take care of the things outside. His Highness was full of the little girl, and he specially asked Huang Zhuo to secretly pass the message. Tsk, can he not serve him?

Yang Jin looked at Huang Zhuo and nodded, "What have you been doing? You look like a thief. Did you do something bad?"

"Oh, Lord Yang, you can't say that. It will cost someone's life. Please forgive me." Huang Zhuo said quickly, "What can I do? Miss Pei insisted that I take a letter to His Highness. I have made several excuses, but I can't refuse this time, right?"

Yang Jin's face darkened slightly when he heard this. He sneered and kicked Huang Zhuo.

Huang Zhuo dodged quickly, clasped his hands and begged for mercy, "Lord Yang, let's talk nicely. My body is not worth your fist. Spare my life."

Yang Jin retracted his legs, thought for a while and asked, "Where is the letter?"

Huang Zhuo knew that Yang Jin was one of the people the prince trusted the most, and quickly took out the letter, "Here."

Yang Jin reached out to take it, looked at Huang Zhuo and said, "Remember, from now on, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, you are not allowed to accept any message or anything that the Pei family asks you to pass on. I'll spare you this time, otherwise you will not be able to escape when you are in front of the prince."

Huang Zhuo didn't expect the matter to be so serious. He knew that the prince had little contact with the Pei family, but that The cousin was gentle and polite in words and deeds, so he just couldn't bear to help her. However, after hearing what Lord Yang said, he was frightened and immediately said, "Thank you for saving my life, Lord. I will remember it and there will never be a next time."

Yang Jin waved his hand, "You go and do your work. Oh, by the way, you should pay attention to Yangde Palace. If there is any news about Princess Yong'an, whether it is good or bad, please report it to me."

Huang Zhuo nodded hurriedly and remembered Princess Yong'an in his heart. Last time, His Highness asked him to deliver a letter to her, and Lord Yang was so cautious. Could it be that Princess Yong'an was more important than the cousin of the Pei family in front of His Highness?

Huang Zhuo didn't dare to ask again. Seeing Lord Yang turn around and go back, he leaned against the door frame with a little weak feet.

The Pei family is really harmful!

Yang Jin entered the room with the letter, and saw His Highness reviewing the files, with his pen occasionally drawing a line. He waited for His Highness to read a paragraph before speaking, "Your Highness, Miss Pei asked Huang Zhuo to write you a letter."

Yan Junchu didn't even raise his head, "Burn it."

Yang Jin knew this would happen, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Miss Pei has sent letters here several times in a row. It seems that she must see you, Your Highness..."

"Yang Jin, when did you become so talkative?" Yan Junchu frowned slightly, "Have you finished your work?"

Yang Jin immediately said, "I'll do it right away."

Yang Jin went out and found a quiet place to burn the letter, looking at the pile of ashes and said, "Why bother?"

Yang Jin crushed the ashes with his feet, and then strode away.

Pei Nianwei in Yangde Palace had been waiting for news, but until it was completely dark, there was no movement from Shaoyang Courtyard, and her heart sank completely this time.

All night long, Su Xinyi could hear Pei Nianwei tossing and turning. She was too upset to sleep, so she simply sat up and meditated.

On the other hand, Wang Yingyao in the middle slept soundly without any worries. Su Xinyi was really envious at this moment.

She didn't sleep well at night, and she didn't feel energetic when she woke up in the morning. She got up a little late. When she got up, she saw Wang Yingyao coming back from outside. As soon as he saw her, he walked over quickly and whispered: "Xinyi, Xiaoyu Qingchi The matter has come to a conclusion.”

Su Xinyi immediately perked up and asked, "What did you say?"

"It is said that the female corpse was investigated and thought to be a female envoy from Yangde Palace. I don't know what happened. She went the wrong way at night and accidentally fell into the pool and lost her life."

Su Xinyi:......

Looking at Su Xinyi's expression, Wang Yingyao said softly: "Who do you think can take the female envoy of Yangde Palace there at night? Everyone is talking about it now, and they can't find out which one is missing."

However, Su Xinyi could understand that this was related to King Rong and he must not reveal who it was, but she did not expect that after the prince's investigation, he actually made the queen's face smoother. She didn't know what happened, but she knew The prince and the queen have never been on good terms, so there must be something going on here.

But no matter what the reason was, it had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't go beyond the rules to investigate. Since he said this to the outside world, His Majesty must have nodded, which is equivalent to sealing the coffin.

After the incident at Xiaoyu Qingchi came to an end, the Queen appeared at Yangde Palace again, but this time she did not test everyone, but posted all the contents of the test for everyone during this period to support the Palace of Virtue. Watch the ladies from above and below.

There is no ranking, but everyone is an expert, and we can make some calculations about which one is good and which one is not.

That is to say, today, the Queen hosted a banquet, and Concubine Li, Concubine Qi Xian, and Concubine Ruan Ming once again appeared to see everyone off.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, are they leaving the palace now?

There was no order of priority, so they thought there would be a follow-up, and that was the end of it?

Su Xinyi was also surprised, but when she thought about it, it was a good thing. She originally focused on participation. It would be great if she could get out of the palace quickly, but she was really suffocated in the palace.

Moreover, she was anxious about the caravan. She could only ask clearly after leaving the palace.

This luncheon was exquisitely arranged, and the singing and dancing were particularly exciting, especially the dancer's Hu Xuan dance, which everyone praised. When her slender waist that was not tight enough to be held in her hands continued to rotate, the tiny flowing beads also swirled...

After the banquet, the queen made a speech, which was nothing more than that everyone's performance was recorded in a book, and the person who selected the crown princess would go back and wait for notification.

Su Xinyi packed up her things and left the palace, her footsteps so cheerful that Wang Yingyao couldn't laugh or cry. However, she was also like this. She was always cautious in her days in the palace and was really tired.

I finally got a good night's sleep after I got home.

Zhu Chanyi and others came over and walked out with Su Xinyi. On the way out of the palace, they could have time to play polo together. Zhu Chanyi was quite reluctant to leave, mainly because the family of their military generals had bad relations with the families of these noble officials and nobles. So even though she knew the name of Yong'an County Lord before, she never thought that he was not only well-deserved but also so interesting, which really made her feel frustrated.

After leaving the palace, a carriage from the palace took everyone back. Especially Su Xinyi, a group of people who came to say goodbye gathered around, making Shu Siyang and others' faces darken.

Li Qingyi also came to say goodbye to Su Xinyi. She said with a smile: "It is really interesting to get to know the county lord when we enter the palace this time. I will invite the county lord to go out for fun another day. It will be spring outing in a few days." Maybe we’ll meet again.”

Su Xinyi's feelings towards Li Qingyi were good or bad. She used to think that she might have other agendas when she showed up to Li Guifei, but when she was in Yangde Palace, she had no intention of targeting her. This made her feel strange and she didn't let down her guard, but she also He didn't turn a blind eye to Li Qingyi's overtures.

"Okay, if we have the right time, then we can go on a spring outing together and learn from the literati. You can compose poems and I will add wine."

Everyone laughed when they heard this. After laughing for a while, they each got into the carriage and went home.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief after getting on the carriage. The person in the carriage who took her back to her home was Ran Su, which relaxed her tense nerves a lot. When she got off the carriage, Su Xinyi stuffed a big purse into her, "This paragraph I will take care of you in Yangde Palace, thank you very much.”

Ran Su had already received a purse before, but she didn't expect to receive another one now, so she hurriedly extended her hand to refuse.

Su Xinyi jumped out of the car, waved to her and turned around to enter the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Ran Su had no choice but to put the purse away, thinking that it was no wonder that the Lord of Yong'an County could be liked by so many ladies, and even a female envoy liked her very much.

The people in the Duke's Palace of Qi got the news from the palace. Until today when Su Xinyi returned to the palace, everyone was waiting at the Madam's place. Even Su Chaoyan, who was married, had returned.

Su Xinyi was moved by this, and saw the third brother-in-law next to her whom she met for the first time. Although she was a bit dark, she was very strong and tall, and she smiled with a simple and honest look. When she saw her, she took the initiative to call her "Sixth Sister" and returned the favor. A welcome gift!

Su Xinyi's face turned red. She was so old, how could she accept the greeting gift? She was not a child.

Everyone had long been accustomed to Su Xinyi's shamelessness, and they didn't expect to see her blush, which made the wife laugh.

The second lady was really satisfied with her son-in-law. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Xinyi, just keep whatever your brother-in-law makes up for you. You deserve it."

Su Xinyi then stopped and looked at Tu Sijing and said, "Thank you, third brother-in-law."

The second lady smiled and looked at Xinyi and said, "Your second sister was going to come back too, but Shu Ge'er didn't know if he ate something wrong this morning and felt uncomfortable in his stomach. She said she would come to see you tomorrow."

Shu Ge'er mentioned by the second lady was Li Zhongshu, the eldest son of Su Lanxi and Li Sui. Su Xinyi asked hurriedly, "Is Shu Ge'er okay? Second sister doesn't have to come specially. I can go to see her when I have time."

The second lady smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, she just can't leave. Your second sister has always wanted to come back to see you. It's a good opportunity for you. You can't stop her."

Su Xinyi smiled happily and said hurriedly, "Okay, then I'll wait for my second sister to come back."

The old lady looked at Su Xinyi carefully, "Xiao Liu, why do I see you are fatter?"

After the old lady said this, everyone took a closer look and it was true.

Su Xinyi: ...

Everyone asked at once. Zeng's pregnancy was already stable. She was directing the maids and servants to serve tea and snacks. Hearing this, she also looked at the sixth sister more. Her face was really rounder.

When the men in the family returned home at noon, it was even more lively. The old man was also invited by the eldest master with his hands behind his back.

Because of Tu Sijing, the new son-in-law, everyone had separate tables for men and women. The family did not have a screen between them. They talked and laughed while listening to Su Xinyi talking about the things in the palace.

Everyone was shocked when they heard about the Xiaoyu Qingchi female corpse case. They did not expect that such a thing would happen in the palace in just a few days. Su Xinyi did not mention Prince Rong when she talked about it. After all, she did not mention Prince Rong when she announced it to the public. Some things were not easy for her to assert.

And there was also the newly-minted third brother-in-law, so some things could not be said.

It was not that Su Xinyi did not trust Tu Sijing, but if Tu Sijing told the Tu family about this matter after returning home, it would be a big deal if this matter spread to so many people in the Tu family.

To avoid trouble, Su Xinyi naturally didn't mention it, and if she let it slip, the Queen would not let it go.

After the welcoming banquet, the old man called Su Xinyi away.

Su Xinyi helped her grandfather back to the yard. The old man asked Su Xinyi to sit down, looked at her and said, "What is the secret of the female corpse case?"

Su Xinyi: ...

Others can hide it, but grandpa can't.

Su Xinyi explained the matter in detail, and finally said, "My granddaughter doesn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided the case with such a result."

The old man looked at his granddaughter with his cloudy eyes, and nodded secretly in his heart. He left room for maneuver when he spoke at the table just now, and he was a clear-headed person.

"It's just a maid, it doesn't matter. His Royal Highness Prince Rong is the son that His Majesty loves. The fact that His Majesty and the Crown Prince can make such a decision can only mean that Prince Rong is not the murderer. I'm afraid there is something else going on."

"My granddaughter also believes that His Royal Highness Prince Rong would not kill anyone. I just heard that the Queen coveted the position of the Crown Prince and instigated Prince Rong to compete with the Crown Prince. Moreover, the Queen always secretly targeted the Crown Prince. With such a good opportunity, my granddaughter doesn't understand why His Royal Highness Prince showed mercy to the Queen's men." Su Xinyi really couldn't figure this out. If it were her, such an opportunity would definitely trip up the Queen.

When the old man heard this, he knew that Xinyi had thought about this problem seriously. He looked at her seriously and solemnly, "Have you ever thought about what His Majesty would think and do?"

Su Xinyi was stunned. She thought about how the Queen would react, how Prince Rong would react, and how the Crown Prince would react, but she had never thought about His Majesty!

The old man taught in a slow and gentle voice, "Xinyi, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, or your Majesty's sons, whether it is the crown prince or the princes, in the end, the judge of all things is your Majesty. It doesn't matter what others think or do. The key is what your Majesty thinks and what results he wants. Right or wrong is not important."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Grandfather, what do you mean?"

The old man waved his hand, "Xinyi, you are a smart child. It's good to understand some things in your heart. There are three kinds of people in this world. The first kind of people can learn by watching, the second kind of people can learn by teaching, and the third kind of people can learn by playing I can't do it even if I scold you. You, like your father, can learn it by watching, but as a girl, it's not a good thing to show off your edge. You have to learn to hide it. Don't be too strong like your father. Being too smart is sometimes not a good thing. You have to remember it. "

Su Xinyi hurriedly stood up, "Yes, granddaughter remembers it."

"Go, don't think about Xiaoyu Qingchi anymore after this door. If someone asks you something in the future, you have to answer according to the conclusion of the palace on this matter. "

"Yes."

Su Xinyi left her grandfather's yard. It was sunny, but her hands and feet were cold.

In her previous life, she learned how to survive in the inner house, learned a lot of women's tricks, and understood the hidden words of those ladies, but no one taught her about the affairs of the court and the emperor's heart.

The art of the emperor and the struggle for imperial power are unfamiliar to her.

What her grandfather said opened a new door for her.

The next morning, Su Xinyi received a box full of books sent by her grandfather. When she opened it, she saw that they were all historical records and policy essays written by famous scholars from all dynasties.

She: ...

She is not going to take the imperial examination, so isn't her grandfather's expectations of her a bit too high?

Is this something she can read?

However, Su Xinyi felt itchy when she saw these books. A voice in her heart told her that she wanted to read them. These were things she had rarely read before, and she would like them.

Su Xinyi picked up a book and read it slowly. Some of the words were obscure and difficult to understand. She had to write them down and go back to ask her second brother, a scholar, for advice.

"little six!"

Su Xinyi was getting a headache from reading when she heard Su Jingmo's voice coming through the window. She put the book away and got up and walked out. Su Jingmo also walked to the eaves of the corridor and grabbed her as soon as he saw her. Run, "Let's go, Su Xixian is pouting again."

Su Xinyi:......

"Fourth sister, please tell me clearly, what's going on? Wasn't it fine yesterday?" Su Xinyi asked hurriedly as Su Jingmo dragged her away.

"My mother showed her the marriage, but she didn't go to see it. Do you think there's something wrong with her?" Su Jingmo got angrier as she spoke, "She must not know what Aunt Weng said. I heard they were quarreling again. The fight must have something to do with this marriage. Please advise her that Aunt Weng is not a good person and don't delay your future because of her. "

Su Xinyi was confused after hearing this, why did she have anything to do with Aunt Weng again?

Just as they were talking, Su Jingmo grabbed Su Xinyi and walked directly into the main room. A group of girls did not dare to stop them and could only let them break in.

"Su Xixian, come out!"

Su Xinyi felt a headache from Su Jingmo's voice, and said hurriedly: "Fourth sister, don't be angry yet, speak slowly if you have anything to say."

"Why am I not angry? My mother is not in good health, and I have worried so much about her marriage. Do you think she is worthy of my mother?" As Su Jingmo said this, she saw Su Xixian coming out, and her eyes were filled with tears when she looked at her. She blushed, and swallowed back the second half of the curse words, which made her blush. "Who are you showing this to? If Sixth Sister sees it, she will think that I bully you again, right?"

"I didn't mean that." Su Xixian didn't want to quarrel and looked at the two of them listlessly, "Sit down and scold me. Stop standing. It's so tiring."

Su Jingmo's hand trembled when he pointed at Su Xixian, and he turned to look at Su Xinyi, "Xiao Liu, have you seen it? What do you mean, mud can't go up the wall? That's it!"

Su Xinyi:......

"Fourth sister, please sit down and take a moment. I'll ask Fifth Sister what's going on." Su Xinyi pressed Su Jingmo down first, then looked at Su Xixian and asked, "Fifth Sister, Fourth Sister said that Third Aunt was here." You saw the marriage, why don’t you go see it?”

Su Xixian was silent after hearing this, and said after a long time: "If I go to see her, my aunt will definitely make trouble with my mother. I don't want to cause trouble to my mother."

Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian, "Did Aunt Weng tell you that if you go to see her, she will make trouble?"

Su Xixian was silent.

Because of what happened when she was sent to Zhuangzi last time, my aunt always felt that she had lost to the madam and resented that she had embarrassed her. Her temper had become more and more sharp since she came back from Zhuangzi.

She also felt that she had wronged her aunt about what happened last time, so she kept enduring it.

She didn't want to cause trouble for her aunt, and she didn't want to give her aunt a chance to use the topic to her advantage.

"No." Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian and said with a smile, "Fifth sister, you are always smart, why can't you see through this time? Aunt Weng dares to threaten you like this because she knows that in your heart she will My aunt takes her very seriously and cares about her thoughts and feelings, so she is confident.”

Su Xixian opened her mouth to say something to refute, but she didn't know how to explain it correctly.

Su Jingmo was angry and laughing, looking at Su Xixian and mockingly said: "Su Xixian, you are so awesome. I always thought you were so smart, but you have been acting smart for so many years. Don't even think about it. Last time, because of your marriage, Aunt Weng She can be sent to Zhuangzi, but if she makes trouble again this time, it won't be as simple as sending her to Zhuangzi. She doesn't dare!"

Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian's thoughtful expression, and suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
