305: Thanks to Concubine Li

"Father, what is going on?" Su Xinyi was unsure. She knew the emperor's character well and felt that it would be a trap. Google search reading

"Since you are already the crown princess, you should help the queen with some things in the future. You should learn."

Su Xinyi:?

Can you say it again?

Perhaps because Su Xinyi's face was no longer surprised but only frightened, the emperor found it interesting and said with a smile: "How is it?"

Not so good!

The queen's character is to eat alone. Now let her interfere. Isn't this adding fuel to the fire and making the queen fight with her?

What does the emperor mean?

Su Xinyi didn't dare to guess and immediately said: "Father, it's not that my daughter-in-law is unwilling, but my mother is good at handling the affairs of the harem and has spare energy. I really can't help."

The emperor chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. This matter is settled."

Su Xinyi's scalp tingled. This time, the emperor had stirred up a hornet's nest, but she was the one who suffered.

The emperor waved his hand, "You go back and rest, come back overnight, don't bother going back to the city tonight."

Su Xinyi hurriedly agreed. His Majesty only said that she didn't need to go back to the city, but didn't say whether she would go back or not.

Thinking of Miss You, Su Xinyi stopped her steps to leave and asked, "Father, how do you arrange for the cousin from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Xinyi. At this time, he already knew that it was a cousin, so he worked hard.

"Hu Siyi will do it, don't worry about it."

"Yes." Su Xinyi nodded and agreed, then she left.

After leaving the door, Su Xinyi thought that the emperor might have some thoughts about this matter. He didn't let her care, but didn't stop her from testing it before, so she would naturally be obedient and not interfere in the next matter.

But the result, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

Su Xinyi went back to her own courtyard and ate first. She was really hungry. She couldn't say she ate like a wolf, but it was almost the same. After she felt full, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, it was still raining outside, but the rain was much lighter. She took a walk under the eaves to digest her food. Occasionally, she looked up at the next door. She heard some noises before, as if someone went out.

Although she was curious, she couldn't offend His Majesty. Since His Majesty didn't let her manage it, she, as a daughter-in-law, naturally had to avoid suspicion.

Tsk, if it doesn't go well, I'm afraid there will be one more beauty in the palace.

In this case, the prince will not look good, but the queen and Li Guifei will look even worse.

After all, this person is from the prince's mother's family, and in the eyes of outsiders, the impact on the prince should not be great.

However, Su Xinyi knew that the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion might not have no resentment towards the prince, and it was hard to say who would stand on the side of this person after entering the palace.

It's really troublesome.

The emperor wants to make trouble, and no one can stop him.

Food and sex are human nature. When a beauty is seen, even the emperor has seven emotions and six desires.

Su Xinyi had almost digested the food and was about to go to bed. Suddenly, she heard a noisy sound next door. She stood up and stood in front of the window. She heard a few words faintly. It turned out that Wu'an Marquis Mansion came to pick someone up.

Counting from the time they met to now, this time is really well grasped.

Soon the sound next door disappeared, and it was estimated that the person had left.

Su Xinyi was about to rest when she heard a knock on the door. She walked over and opened the door, and saw Zhan Qiao outside and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Qiao looked at the Crown Princess and whispered, "Crown Princess, the girl next door went to see His Majesty before, and General Manager Hu came here in person to bring people over."

Su Xinyi sighed in her heart. It was a guess, but she was a little uncomfortable when she really guessed it.

Who is Hu Siyi?

The chief steward beside His Majesty is only the important officials of the court. His Majesty would ask Hu Siyi to summon them. I didn't expect that the niece of Marquis Wu'an really has some tricks.

She showed up in time and left happily. If this kind of character really entered the harem, it would be terrible.

Zhan Qiao saw that the Crown Princess looked not very good, and said softly: "Do you want me to pass the news to the Duke's Mansion?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Not for the time being, it's hard to say without results now, don't act rashly, don't say a word after returning to the city, and let others shut up."

"Yes." Zhan Qiao agreed, "I see that His Majesty is preparing to return to the city, Crown Princess, you..."

"Go back tomorrow." Su Xinyi said, looking at Zhan Qiao and speaking again, "You also go back to rest, don't be so tense here, you will be busy tomorrow when you go back."

Zhan Qiao nodded and left, but Su Xinyi lost her sleepiness for a while.

She simply went back to her room and wrote a letter to the prince, but she stopped halfway and lit the paper. It was not a good idea to cause trouble for His Highness.

Let's wait until the matter has a result. Maybe I guessed wrong. His Majesty is old and may not really be able to bring a little girl into the palace.

Go to sleep.

Su Xinyi didn't sleep well that night. Some fragments of her previous life flashed in her dreams. She felt a little tired when she woke up in the morning because she didn't sleep well.

Washed, changed clothes and ate. When she was ready, she came out and found that His Majesty had returned to the city last night.

That's right. After all, there was an early court session. It was impossible to rush back from outside the city in the middle of the night.

Su Xinyi led Zhan Qiao and several others to leave the farm and return to the city, heading straight to the East Palace. After entering the East Palace, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her spirit was not so tense. She changed into a palace dress, and asked Lian Qiao to comb her hair into a beautiful bun in front of the mirror. Then she sent someone to send a message to Yuanhui Palace to see if the queen wanted to see her.

Nanny She, Lian Qiao and Cui Que were telling the Crown Princess about what happened in the East Palace these days. Su Xinyi was not surprised at all when she heard Nanny She say that many people came to inquire about her whereabouts.

"It's good that the Crown Princess is back now. It's time to show up at Yuanhui Palace so that people will know that you are back from praying at Daling Temple." Nanny She said.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Are there any other things besides these?"

Madame She heard this and said, "There is an interesting thing. His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang wanted to promote a favored concubine to a concubine, but Concubine Li rejected it in anger and asked the housekeeper to go to the palace to reprimand Fu. I asked someone to inquire and heard that Fu was beaten with ten boards."

Su Xinyi said in surprise, "The Prince of Xiang is really bold. If he wanted to repay his kindness and make Fu a concubine, he should have done it in one go when he brought her back to the capital. Now that she is talking about this, Concubine Li will naturally not be happy."

The main reason is that Fu's status is too low. A fisherman's daughter, even if she is the daughter of a county magistrate, Concubine Li would probably agree with gritted teeth.

"Madame, do you know Yuling Temple?" Su Xinyi looked at Madame She and asked.

"Yuling Temple? Why did the Crown Princess suddenly ask this? I know a little bit about it, but it's not a good place. Yuling Temple is for girls who are homeless or expelled, imprisoned, or disciplined by their families." Nanny She said.

Su Xinyi said to Nanny She: "Xu Yurong is in Yuling Temple now. I heard that she has a relationship with Fu. If you have any connections, please help me find out what's going on."

Nanny She agreed immediately, "I know a friend of mine. It seems that someone in her family is a nun in Yuling Temple. I'll ask first."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Nanny."

"This is what I should do." Nanny She said hurriedly, "I'll send a letter over now, and there will be news soon."

Su Xinyi nodded, and Nanny She let go, and then a letter came from Yuanhui Palace, and the queen asked Su Xinyi to go over.

Su Xinyi went to Yuanhui Palace and took a sedan chair to the harem. When she arrived outside Yuanhui Palace, she got off the sedan chair, tidied her clothes, and then walked in.

The palace maids guarding the gate of Yuanhui Palace saluted and greeted the Crown Princess. Su Xinyi waved her hand to let them get up, and she walked in directly.

A little palace maid had already rushed in to deliver the message. When Su Xinyi walked in, Zhao Ma, who was beside the Queen, came out in person, "This old servant greets the Crown Princess."

"Please get up quickly, Madam Zhao. Is your mother doing well?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile.

"The Queen is fine, and she has been thinking about the Crown Princess." Zhao Ma replied with a smile.

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, and followed Zhao Ma into the hall. She didn't see the Queen in the main hall, and walked around the screen into the inner hall. She saw the Queen sitting on the warm couch by the window. The clothes on her body were not like the phoenix robe she wore before, but an everyday palace dress, which looked less rigid and more intimate.

Su Xinyi was surprised.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to the Queen Mother." Su Xinyi stepped forward to salute.

The Queen waved her hand, "Get up, there is no one else here, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Su Xinyi stood up slowly with a respectful look on her face, walked to a chair beside her and sat down. Immediately, a palace servant brought tea to her, and then she bowed and left.

The Queen only asked Zhao Ma to stay, and sent everyone else out. Then she looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Finally you are back. If you don't come back, I'm afraid Concubine Li will go to Daling Temple to visit you in person."

Hearing the Queen's complaints, Su Xinyi had a very strange feeling. She and the Queen did not have a good relationship, but after this cooperation, it seemed that the Queen was not as repulsive to her as before.

If it were before, the Queen would definitely talk to her seriously with a stern face, not like complaining like now.

So, during the time she was away, what did Concubine Li and her son do to make the Queen put aside her past grudges and show her kindness and closeness.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, mother. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to travel so smoothly. I will always remember your kindness." Su Xinyi left room for herself, saying that she remembered the favor, but refused to take the Crown Prince with her.

The Queen was not stupid, so how could she not hear it? The corners of her mouth twitched. Their Crown Princess could not afford to suffer any loss.

"Why say all this? I've already done it. I don't expect you to remember my kindness. Just don't cause me any trouble." The Queen said, "Did you meet Prince Rong this time? How is he? Is he okay?"

Hearing the Queen ask her son first, Su Xinyi took out the letter written by Prince Rong overnight and handed it to the Queen, "This is the letter that His Royal Highness Prince Rong asked me to bring back to the Queen."

The Queen was full of joy. This was an unexpected surprise. She didn't expect that the brat would know to write a letter to her. With this letter, the Queen looked at Su Xinyi more favorably. She coughed and asked, "How is his caravan? Did he encounter any trouble?"

"No, His Royal Highness Prince Rong raised a lot of food and grass for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time and made great contributions. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the court, he will definitely ask for credit for the seventh brother in front of his father." Su Xinyi noticed the Queen's attitude and changed the formal title of His Royal Highness Prince Rong to the seventh brother to express his response to the Queen's intentions.

The queen was indeed happy, thinking that the prince and the princess were grateful. In the past, her son was idle and didn't dare to think about making meritorious deeds and not causing trouble for her, which made her feel relieved. This time, he actually made meritorious deeds, and she had to be proud of it in front of Concubine Li.

Seeing that the queen was in a good mood, Su Xinyi took the opportunity to briefly talk about what happened to His Majesty. She also mentioned the matter of You Xiangru, saying that she met a woman with a broken carriage on the road and took her for a ride. She didn't say much about other things. Then, she talked about His Majesty asking her to help the queen manage things.

"My daughter-in-law thought that I was young and didn't know anything, so I didn't dare to say that I could help my mother manage things. Please teach me more, and I will run errands for you." Su Xinyi said seriously, with a sincere look in her eyes.

Now the harem is in turmoil with Concubine Li and her son, and the matter of Marquis Wu'an's mansion has not been settled yet. She can't turn against the Queen because of this matter, so she expressed that she was just a helper in front of His Majesty, so that the Queen would not be worried about her power.

The Queen was really surprised and of course unhappy. Why did His Majesty suddenly come up with such a thing? Was he dissatisfied with her as the Queen?

Thinking about it, she did fight with Concubine Li recently, so His Majesty was trying to warn her?

However, the warning was just to let the Crown Princess come to help, not to let her share power with Concubine Li, and Su Xinyi also stated that it was just a formality, and the Queen was very satisfied.

Besides, Prince Rong was still under the Crown Prince, and for the sake of her son, she had to hold her nose and maintain harmony with this daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, the queen was not so repulsive. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "What are you talking about? You are the Crown Princess now. In the future... this is a matter of time. It's better to learn from me now, so that you can help me at the big banquets during the New Year and festivals in the future."

Hmph, her son has no chance of being the Crown Prince, so the King of Xiang can't get involved.

She was stupid before, but Zhao Ma was right. Now her son is running with the Crown Prince. Even if she is not convinced, she can only accept it.

In short, if the Crown Prince is good, her son is good. If they are good, Concubine Li is not good, and the King of Xiang is not good. Thinking of this, the Queen has currently pulled Su Xinyi into her camp, and she is much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Besides, with Su Xinyi's temperament, if Concubine Li really makes trouble in the future and she can't deal with it, she will let the Crown Princess take over. The Emperor is more tolerant of the Crown Princess than her as the Queen.

Thinking of this, the queen felt very sad. Who let the Crown Princess have a good father?

Why didn't she have a good father? Not only did he not bring honor to her, but he also held her back and made her lose face. Not only did he lose his title, but he also lost his official position and was demoted to a commoner.

She was really the first queen in history to feel so aggrieved. Even if it was for this, her son's dream of replacing the crown prince would be over for the time being. It would be better to unite with the crown prince and his wife.

Concubine Li also had an unlucky brother, but she couldn't stand up to her father.

The queen was holding back her anger in her heart, feeling sour and swollen. Comparing people with others makes people angry.

Su Xinyi was really surprised when she heard the queen's words. She guessed that the queen was so magnanimous to her, which showed that Concubine Li had done a lot of work. She must have been against the queen a lot during this period, so that the queen could tolerate her so much.

Tsk, this is really thanks to Concubine Li.

The Queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "In previous years, His Majesty would go to the palace to escape the heat every summer, but this year, due to the war in Zhangping Prefecture, it may not be possible. In this case, you can only escape the heat in the palace. At that time, there will inevitably be more things to do. You can learn palace affairs from me."

Speaking of this, the Queen hesitated, looking at Su Xinyi with a respectful face, knowing that she was pretending, but she was also pleasing to the eye, "Come here every day at Sishi, usually at this time I will deal with palace affairs."

Su Xinyi did not expect the Queen to be so decisive and not only agreed, but also asked her to come to learn so quickly. Of course, she would not refuse and agreed immediately.

She just wanted to check on Concubine Li, so she had a legitimate reason to come here.

Su Xinyi came out of Yuanhui Palace. She hesitated about You Xiangru before, but now she calmed down and still felt that she couldn't talk about this matter casually. If she guessed wrong, it would be a handle in the hands of the Queen.

Now because of Concubine Li, the Queen may not always like her, so she naturally has to be cautious.

Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace. This time, she did not meet Li Guifei and others in the harem. It was quite unexpected. In the past, when she went to pay respects to the Queen, Li Guifei could always smell the scent like a hunting dog and would block her from time to time. This time, she was quite surprised that she did not see anyone.

She thought that since she had not shown up for so long, Li Guifei and King Xiang would definitely suspect her whereabouts, so they had to come to investigate at this time, but they did not see anyone.

Either King Xiang knew that she was not in Daling Temple, or they were busy with something and did not care about her.

Anyway, even if Li Guifei and her son knew that she went to Zhangping Prefecture, what would happen? This was allowed by His Majesty, and they did not dare to make trouble. At most, they would remember her in their hearts.

Anyway, there were so many grudges, and it really didn't matter if there were one more or one less.

After a short rest, she wrote a letter to the Duke's Mansion, letting her grandmother and her second uncle and aunt rest assured that it would not be a problem for her second brother to follow Qin Guansheng. He also talked about his encounter with his eldest brother-in-law who came to reinforce Zhangping Prefecture, and mentioned in the letter the fact that Xie Kun was afraid of Yun Jie'er as a joke, in order to comfort the adults.

Her family must be worried about her leaving this time, but she just came back and His Highness is not in the capital. It is not good for her to go back to her parents' home at this time. She is thinking that she can bring her mother over to see her in a few days, so she mentioned it in the letter. One sentence.

Zhanqiao went back to deliver the letter, and when he came back, he brought back a letter from home.

Su Xinyi opened it and saw that the third sister had given birth. The child was a little hugged and stayed in her mother's womb for a few more days before she came out. She was a girl.

Su Xinyi was counting the days. In March, she would get married to His Highness, and in April, His Highness would lead the troops to go on an expedition. She would follow suit, but it was not as if she didn't catch up with the third sister to give birth to a child.

I also thought that I was a Crown Princess, and my sister didn’t show any signs of giving birth. I didn’t know what the Tu family would think. There was news before that I went to Daling Temple to pray for His Highness the Crown Prince. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, now that I am back, I must give blessings to the three of them. Sister, make up for this face.

Su Xinyi hurriedly called Grandma She over and asked her how to prepare the gift list.

Aunt She smiled and said: "Princess, you are an aunt, so it doesn't matter if you have more or less courtesy. However, if it's a little late, then just three-thirds of the courtesy will be enough. If you make up for it too much, I’m afraid the faces of the other girls are not good-looking.”

When Aunt She said this, Su Xinyi nodded, "What you said makes sense, so if you write a gift note, it will be three-thirds thick as you said, and it will be for the Tu family. In addition, I will make up for the niece alone." This gift is a full moon gift for her.”

Aunt She nodded in praise, "If the princess does this, then there will be no problem."

Grandma She wrote a gift list, which was full of golden locks for children, jade ruyi, jade unicorns and other items. It was festive and auspicious. There were not many things, but when it was time to pack them, there was actually a small box.

Su Xinyi prepared a separate brocade box, which contained a set of small jade bowls and a complete set of bowls, plates, cups and chopsticks, with the word "Fu" engraved on them. The jade was warm and moist, and the word "Fu" was auspicious. It was just right to give it to a child. The most important thing was This set of jade bowls bears the royal seal.

It can be considered that she gave the third sister a face from the side and let the Tu family know that their sisters are close.

I remember that when the eldest sister married into the Shi family, people in the Shi family knew how to make faces. The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law also had a good time of love as husband and wife. However, the Shi family was hypocritical, so how could it last long.

The Tu family still can't tell what happened. The third sister gave birth to a daughter for the first time. She didn't know what she was thinking. She gave a generous gift to her. If the Tu family was kind to the third sister, everyone would be happy. If the Tu family was dissatisfied with giving birth to a daughter, this would A gift can also be considered a knock.

If it were the fourth sister and the fifth sister, she really wouldn't worry too much. Those two were very powerful, but the third sister's temperament was too soft, which was actually worrying.

***

The Tu family suddenly received a congratulatory gift from the Princess of the East Palace. The whole family was alarmed. Mrs. Tu hurriedly summoned the third daughter-in-law.

Aunt She said with a smile: "The Crown Princess prayed for His Highness at the Daling Temple before and ignored foreign affairs. Then she returned to the East Palace and learned the good news that the third girl had given birth. She specially asked the old slave to go and pay his respects to the Madam. I just happened to be checking on the third girl and my cousin for the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Tu smiled kindly and said, "The Crown Princess is eating fast, chanting and praying at Daling Temple for His Highness, so we didn't dare to disturb her. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess still cares about the blessings of our third family and our children."

Grandma She couldn't see anything from Mrs. Tu, so she spoke a few official words to her, handed over the gift list, held the brocade box that the Crown Princess had given to her cousin alone, and said with a smile: "This is the gift box that the Crown Princess gave to her alone. I sent it to Miss Cousin, just to check on Miss Cousin for the Crown Princess. After returning to the East Palace, I can tell the Princess what Miss Cousin looks like. "

How could Mrs. Tu not realize that Aunt She wanted to talk to the third son's family alone, so she smiled and agreed, looking at the third daughter-in-law and said, "You can take Aunt She there."

Su Chaoyan smiled and nodded, looked at Nanny Su and said, "Nanny, follow me."
