Zhan Qiao went to the manor immediately after hearing what the old man said. Because he didn't want to make it public at this time, he asked each person privately one by one.
There were surprises and disappointments, some were willing and some refused. Zhan Qiao wrote down the willing people and then selected the best ones. Every name on the paper made him feel sad and excited.
Wu Shun looked at him confused. He didn't quite understand Zhan Qiao's current mood. He just chose someone. Why was he so sad?
When Zhan Qiao was resting, he looked at Wu Shun's expression. After finishing his meal, he looked at him and asked, "Wu Shun, why are you willing to follow the Crown Princess? Is it just because of the favor you gave me?"
Wu Shun was stunned. Looking at Zhan Qiao's serious expression, he thought for a while and said, "I guess so, but I have no relatives anymore. If I don't work for the Crown Princess, I don't know where I should go."
Zhan Qiao smiled when he heard this, "Yes, so do you understand now? Why the old man doesn't allow you to force it is because these people are different from you. They still have families and places to go, so they can make choices. If you are unwilling to sincerely follow the Crown Princess, you will inevitably feel dissatisfied in the future, and it will be easy for others to take advantage of you."
Wu Shun understood what Zhan Qiao said, and said after a while, "These nobles are all very thoughtful people."
Anyway, he is just an ordinary person and can't think of these things. He used to think about avenging his sister, and then he thought about repaying his gratitude. He has always been a simple-minded person.
Zhan Qiao looked at Wu Shun's expressionless face, smiled, reviewed the list again, and then said: "Who doesn't want to live a relaxed life? You are happy to have such a life now."
Wu Shun: ...
Thank you, he doesn't really want such happiness. If possible, he would rather his sister is still alive.
He just wants to live a simpler life.
"Why did the Crown Princess form a guard team?" Wu Shun looked up at Zhan Qiao and asked.
Hearing Wu Shun rarely ask such questions, Zhan Qiao looked at him with a smile, "What do you think? Join, if one day, the Crown Princess needs you to fight the enemy, will you go?"
Wu Shun was startled, hesitated for a while and said: "I will go."
"What do you mean by going? Go if you want to go, and don't go if you don't want to go." Zhan Qiao was almost angry and laughed.
"My sister left a daughter. If I can have military merits, the child's future life will be better. So, I should go." Wu Shun lowered his head and said.
Jiang Yi is now with the wife of the Duke of Dongli. Because he works for the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess has some favors for the wife of the Duke of Dongli, so her niece's life in the Duke's mansion is not bad, but she will eventually get married. After getting married, he wants her life to be better, so he also needs military merit.
Zhan Qiao looked at Wu Shun and didn't know what to say for a while, so he patted his shoulder hard.
Wu Shun didn't care much. There must be some hope in life. Now it's much better than being on the run.
Soon Su Xinyi got the list of the Duke's Mansion, this time it was delivered by Su Yi himself.
Su Xinyi was quite happy to see her elder brother. She looked him up and down and asked with a smile, "Brother, are you really okay?"
Su Yi smiled and nodded, "It's okay. It's been so long. I can now pick up a gun and ride a horse to fight for three hundred rounds."
The two siblings had a lot to say when they met. Su Yi asked his sister how she was doing in the East Palace. He felt relieved when he knew that she was living a good life. Finally, he said, "The family still supports the guard team. These people are trustworthy. In the future, they and their families will be under your care."
Su Xinyi was not surprised. She knew that her family would definitely do this. She nodded and said, "I will take good care of them."
Su Yi nodded, hesitant After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "What does His Highness mean about the caravan?"
Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Brother, you follow Prince Rong to the south. Don't interfere in the caravan's decisions. Just follow Prince Rong's instructions. Of course, if he has any inappropriate requests, you don't have to agree. Your task is to supervise and make sure Prince Rong doesn't make any mistakes."
Su Yi nodded, "That's easy. There is also Prince Wu. What about His Highness Prince Wu?"
Su Xinyi also shook her head, "I don't know what His Highness Prince Wu thinks and does now, but brother, you should be more cautious. After all, His Highness Prince Wu is not one of us."
Su Yi understood that His Highness Prince Wu needed to be observed.
Su Xinyi originally wanted her brother to observe Prince Wu secretly, but she thought that her brother's personality was afraid that Prince Wu would see something, so it would be better to get along openly.
As for the supervisor, she has other spies in the caravan, and His Highness must have other preparations.
It's just that His Highness is too kind, so she still has to make other arrangements, but don't tell her elder brother about this for the time being.
She also vaguely feels that something is not right now. Judging from Prince Rong's current temperament, he should not have had the intelligence and courage to compete with His Highness in his previous life, but he did it.
She used to only suspect Prince Rong, but now she thinks that there must be someone behind Prince Rong, and if she thinks so, things will make sense.
But if there is really someone, does Shang Junyan know?
Su Xinyi thinks that the possibility of him knowing is not very high. First of all, Shang Junyan is too smart. If someone is manipulating Prince Rong behind the scenes, he should advise Prince Rong if he knows.
Secondly, Shang Junyan works for King Rong and travels out all year round. He doesn't stay in the capital for many days. Under such circumstances, it is unlikely that he will notice.
If there really is such a person, who would it be?
Su Xinyi has no clue now, but looking at King Rong now, it's hard to believe that he can do what he did in his previous life.
Therefore, she is more inclined to her current guess.
However, this was just her own suspicion, so she could only observe secretly to see if her guess was correct.
Without evidence, this matter can only be suppressed in the heart, and it is not easy to find this person, after all, there is no clue now.
Su Yi didn't stay long. After the two of them finished speaking, they stood up to leave. Before leaving, he looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Sixth sister, if you go south quickly this time, it will take several months to come back. What will happen if you really encounter Zhangping Mansion?" I’m afraid it’s going to be a long time before I return home, so I’ll ask you to take more care of me at home.”
Su Xinyi looked at Su Yi and nodded, "Brother, just don't worry. I wish you all the best. There are several factions in the caravan. Brother, you must be careful and don't act impulsively."
Su Yi responded with a smile, then turned and left.
There is no need for the two brothers and sisters to say polite words, they just need to explain what they need to explain.
After the imperial edict was issued, the departure date for King Rong and others was quickly decided. Although they had expected it, they did not expect that His Majesty would let them leave so quickly.
Only three days were given. Three days later, Yan Junchu personally sent them out of the city.
Su Xinyi happened to be going to the harem to pay respects to the queen that day. It was probably because King Rong left the capital. The queen didn't look very good and didn't face her in any way. Even Concubine Li was extremely quiet today. She probably knew that The queen is in a bad mood.
Coming out of Yuanhui Palace, Concubine Li stopped and looked sideways at Su Xinyi, "The Crown Princess looks very high-spirited today."
When Su Xinyi heard Concubine Li's words, she knew that she meant that Su Yi could follow Prince Rong south, probably without the support of Prince Xiang. Concubine Li was very dissatisfied. The queen was in a bad mood today, and Concubine Li didn't want to get into trouble, so Are you trying to make amends with her?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Su Xinyi smiled and accepted the words directly, treating her as a compliment.
Concubine Li didn't expect Su Xinyi to be so thick-skinned. She didn't believe that she didn't hear what she meant, but she really pretended that she didn't hear it.
Concubine Li was about to laugh out loud, and she remembered the news she had heard before. His Majesty had said that no one would be allowed to enter the East Palace for the time being. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
"It's good to praise people only if they are able to praise you, and if they are lucky enough to be able to bear it, don't you think so, Princess?" The smile on Li Guifei's face slowly faded and she looked at Su Xinyi and said.
Su Xinyi sneered in her heart, but said: "What the imperial concubine said is very true. I have heard people say before that the blessings in this life are limited. You should cherish it and don't squander it. So I remind myself all the time. "As a human being, you cannot rely on luck, otherwise it will eventually run out."
Concubine Li's expression changed. Was Su Xinyi mocking her?
"The Crown Princess is really eloquent." Concubine Li dropped these words and walked away with a dark face and sleeves.
Su Xinyi watched Concubine Li leave with the same expression on her face. She said goodbye to Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming, and then turned and walked towards the East Palace.
Concubine Ruan Ming looked at Su Xinyi's back and hesitated, and finally said nothing.
Concubine Qi Xian frowned slightly as she looked at Su Xinyi's back. She didn't notice Concubine Ruan Ming's expression for a moment. They walked back side by side. After taking a few steps, she said softly: "Although I know that the Crown Princess is brave, she is a bit too big." , After all, it’s different when there are people supporting me. It’s not like us. After so many years in the palace, even when my son is older, he is still very nervous these days. "
After hearing Concubine Qi Xian's words, Concubine Ruan Ming did not agree with her before. Instead, she said softly: "Sister Concubine Xian, I think the Crown Princess did the right thing."
Who asked Concubine Li to ridicule Su Xinyi first? Besides, although Su Xinyi retaliated against Concubine Li, she didn't use a single curse word, and her demeanor was not disrespectful. What's the point of asking her for her courage?
People are so courageous. Not only do they dare to speak out, but they also dare to speak out so that others can’t get a handle on them. This is great.
This really doesn't look like someone who grew up in the countryside. The Duke of Qi is from a century-old family, and his ability to teach people is different.
Thinking of her son following Prince Rong south, Concubine Ruan Ming felt very uneasy. She originally wanted to inquire about the news with the Crown Princess today, but she did not dare to do so in front of Concubine Li and others.
Concubine Ruan Ming and Concubine Qi Xian separated at a fork in the road and returned to their own Chunze Palace, with a worried look on their faces. Concubine Li Guifei had been quietly looking for trouble for her in the past few days. She knew it was because Prince Xiang failed to get this job. for the sake of.
It is said that the prince recommended her son in front of His Majesty, and Concubine Ruan Ming was upset. She would rather her son remain unknown as before, rather than be at the forefront of the limelight.
too dangerous.
***
Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace. Today, His Highness has arranged for all her escorts to enter the East Palace. She plans to let Zhan Qiao and Wu Shun take them to practice first, and they will just place them in the martial arts field in Beiyuan.
In this way, it is convenient for her to observe at any time and make follow-up plans.
She doesn't know how to train soldiers, but there are records in her father's handwriting. She can learn from her father's handwriting, and then combine her experience in hunting in the mountains to train her own escort team as much as possible.
So she has been writing military training notes these days. She has never done this kind of thing, but she can learn to do it.
She couldn't help but think of how her master trained her. Although there were no mountains here, she could also change to something else. The most important thing was that a team had to have a certain level of tacit understanding. Her guard team was small in number. If she couldn't win in numbers, she could only make up for it in other ways.
For example, combat effectiveness.
For example, tacit understanding between each other.
Su Xinyi wrote a lot without realizing it. When she came to her senses, she found that there were too many and too complicated things, so she reorganized them to make them look concise and clear.
"Crown Princess."
Su Xinyi raised her head and saw Nanny She coming in, so she put down her pen, "Nanny, what's the matter?"
"Mother Yu from the Madam's side is here."
Su Xinyi stood up when she heard it, "Why did Mother Yu come here suddenly?"
"To announce the good news."
"Announce the good news?"
"Yes, the third lady gave birth."
Su Xinyi was overjoyed. She had calculated that the third sister was due in the next few days, but she didn't expect that she would give birth now. She immediately met Mother Yu.
Mother Yu stepped forward with a smile on her face and saluted, "This old servant greets the Crown Princess."
"Please stand up, Mother Yu. I heard from Madam She that the third sister gave birth." Su Xinyi asked someone to move a stool for Mother Yu and asked with a smile.
"Yes, the third girl gave birth to a girl as her first child. The first lady and several other ladies went to see her and said that she was white and plump and looked very pleasing." Mother Yu said with a smile on her face.
Su Xinyi nodded, "The girl is fine, she is my little cotton-padded jacket. How is the third sister? Is Madam Tu happy to have a granddaughter?"
After hearing this, Mother Yu knew that the Crown Princess wanted to ask if the Tu family was unhappy that the third girl gave birth to a daughter, so she said, "The first lady came back and said that the Tu family was very happy."
Su Xinyi thought that her third brother-in-law was just a bastard, and in fact, no one would care what the first child was.
Now her family came to send her a letter, and they probably wanted to ask her, so she looked at Mother Yu and asked, "I can't go there on the day of the third day of the third month, but I will ask Madam She to go on my behalf and congratulate the third sister."
Mother Yu hurriedly said, "I will definitely convey the words of the Crown Princess to the Madam."
Su Xinyi asked a few more questions about the elders' health, and felt relieved to know that everyone in the family was fine. She looked at Mother Yu and said, "After the eldest brother left, is the eldest sister-in-law okay?"
Mother Yu heard the Crown Princess asking about the eldest young lady, and immediately said, "Everything is fine with the eldest young lady, but she is worried about the eldest young master. The Madam is preparing to look for marriages for several young masters in the family, so she also wants to ask the Crown Princess for her opinion."
Su Xinyi was stunned, so fast?
Could it be that my grandmother has a girl in mind? This is good news. I wonder which family she has chosen.
