312: Did the Crown Princess Do This on Purpose?
"If you want to do this, the Crown Princess will definitely appreciate your kindness. I've seen that when the Crown Princess is on good terms with others, she is very easy to talk to." Zhao Mama had no way to say good things to the Crown Princess. Seeing that their Prince Rong had decided to be a little follower for the Crown Prince, although the Queen was not convinced and she felt that the Prince was wronged, she couldn't help but feel happy.
To be honest, the Prince had been against the Crown Prince many times before, but now the Crown Prince didn't say that he was holding a grudge against them. It is said that the business trip this time was given to the Crown Prince by the Crown Prince after the Crown Prince interceded in front of His Majesty.
Zhao Mama has been with the Queen for most of her life. Of course, she can't watch the Queen go against each other and let Concubine Li take advantage of the opportunity. She will say good things to the Crown Princess whenever she gets the chance, so that the relationship between the Queen and the Crown Princess can become more and more harmonious.
After hearing what Zhao Ma said, the queen said unhappily: "She still doesn't appreciate it? I'm afraid she wants to go to heaven. I told her sincerely about the things in this palace, and I didn't hide anything."
The queen also looked aggrieved. Her family has completely collapsed now. She, the queen, is just an empty shell. Her son is not motivated and is willing to be a slave to others. What else can she do?
She is arrogant. If she has a father who is a master of ceremonies behind her like Li Guifei, she can also fly with wings.
But she doesn't have such a fate.
She has lived for most of her life. She has been glorious and proud in her life. Now she can still be as stable as a mountain in the position of queen. What does she rely on?
Knowing what's good for her.
Is the queen willing?
No.
But if she must choose one, between the King of Xiang and the prince, she will definitely choose the prince.
Besides, Su Xinyi is a person who has both words and heart, and can beat people when she is on horseback and scold people when she is off horseback. As a queen, she can't lose face and confront her like a shrew.
She can't do it, and Li Guifei can't do it either, but Su Xinyi can really do it.
The one who wears shoes is not afraid of the barefoot.
She is the one who wears shoes. She looks glorious with the title of queen, but in fact she is also constrained by various rules and etiquette.
Moreover, the queen has to think about her son. If the prince's position is stable, looking at the way the prince treats her son now, the future will not be difficult.
But if the prince of Xiang sits in that position, what good life can they have?
The queen can sit firmly on the throne without the support of her family. Naturally, she has her own ability. Her ability to change with the wind is not something that everyone can have, and not everyone can lose face.
Anyway, Li Guifei can't do it.
The queen just needs to think about her son and look at Su Xinyi's face and she will feel much more approachable.
Fierce?
That's good. Being a little fierce will keep your position stable.
Su Xinyi has a good relationship with her son. With this sister-in-law looking after him, he won't make any big mistakes in the future.
Anyway, she saw that her son who has no future is not afraid of the prince, but Su Xinyi.
Although he has no future, what can she do?
She is her own child, so she has to accept it.
Nanny Zhao went out before the queen, whispered a few words to the princess, and then bowed and retreated.
Su Xinyi looked at Nanny Zhao in surprise. The wife of Marquis Wu'an handed in a memorial to the palace to pay homage to the queen. Oh, this is to pave the way for You Xiangrui. The action is quite fast. No wonder Pei Nianwei is so eager to find her.
The queen showed her goodwill, so Su Xinyi naturally couldn't just accept it dryly. After thinking about it, she felt that she should still tell the queen about You Xiangrui.
The concubines in the harem had not yet paid their respects, but Su Xinyi stood up to greet the queen when she saw her coming out.
The queen waved her hand, "Sit down, there's no need to be so polite."
Su Xinyi smiled and sat back down, looking at the palace servants around her without saying anything. The queen thought she had something to say?
Oh, Zhao Mama just passed on the message, and Su Xinyi is returning the favor?
The queen was quite happy, she liked this about the crown princess, she would repay a favor and avenge a grudge.
The queen looked at Zhao Mama in a pretentious manner, and Zhao Mama pursed her lips and smiled, then retreated with the palace servants, and she herself stood guard at the palace gate.
Su Xinyi coughed lightly, looked at the queen and said slowly: "Madam Zhao just told my daughter-in-law something. It's a coincidence that my daughter-in-law has something to tell my mother today."
The queen immediately became excited. This was the first time Su Xinyi revealed news to her. She was very excited. She still maintained her dignity as a queen and said slowly: "What can make the Crown Princess so concerned?"
Su Xinyi glanced at the queen and said: "It's a coincidence. It happens to be related to the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion."
The queen's nerves were tense all of a sudden. What a coincidence?
Su Xinyi couldn't be fooling herself. How come she told her about the Wu'an Marquis's wife here, and she had news about the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion?
"What is it? Tell me." The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said.
Su Xinyi picked out what she could say about the day she returned to Beijing and met His Majesty and You Xiangru, and Pei Nianwei's visit.
The matter of You Xiangru cannot be kept secret for too long. Now that the Queen is trying to make peace with her, there is no need to make enemies over such a matter.
"At first I thought that meeting Miss You was an accident, but after Miss Pei came to see me, I realized that this matter was originally a trap. Now I heard that Aunt Zhao told me that Wu'an Marquis's Mansion was going to the palace to pay respects to my mother, so I thought that Wu'an Marquis's Mansion was going to pave the way for Miss You. I was afraid that my mother would not know about it and would be used by Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, so I hurried to tell you." Su Xinyi said seriously.
Queen:...
Let her slow down.
Wu'an Marquis' Mansion is really shameless. The former queen has been dead for so many years, and they still have to climb up on her corpse.
Thinking about it this way, Wu'an Marquis' Mansion is no better than her own family, and neither is a good thing.
After the queen was extremely angry, she calmed down and looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Su Xinyi had been secretly observing the queen's expression. Seeing that she could calm down so quickly, she thought that although this person had done a lot of disgusting things in her previous life, she was really smart.
If she had not married Shang Junyan in this life, the queen would not have joined hands with the Princess of Pingjing County to humiliate her. Now that the prince is fighting outside, she must find a helper in the harem to fight against Concubine Li and her son, and the queen is the best candidate.
The things in the previous life did not happen in this life, and the queen did not have any substantial hatred with her, so why can't they join forces.
She can even reconcile with Shang Junyan, let alone the queen who has not done much bad in this life.
Su Xinyi put down the last bit of obsession in her heart, looked at the queen with a serious expression and said: "Now no one knows what your majesty thinks of Miss You, so I don't have any idea. What's more, how can I, as a daughter-in-law, interfere in my father's affairs."
The queen thought so too. Not to mention Su Xinyi, even she, the queen, dare not interfere in your majesty's affairs.
If your majesty really wants to bring You Xiangru into the palace, she, the queen, will have to happily help your majesty settle her.
The queen was a little upset when she thought about it, and cursed the Wu'an Marquisate in her heart.
Just thinking about it, she heard Su Xinyi slowly say: "Such good news can't be enjoyed alone, mother, don't you think so?"
The queen's eyes lit up when she heard this. Yes, how could Li Guifei be left out of this frustrating thing? She said seriously: "You are talking about Li Guifei serving Your Majesty in such a fancy way at her age. If there is really a girl like a delicate flower coming in, it would be good for Li Guifei to take a break."
Su Xinyi: ...
In terms of yin and yang, the queen is also the best.
The queen dare not interfere with what His Majesty does, but she can do something with the help of others.
Anyway, she is the queen, and His Majesty will definitely not depose the queen at this age. Even if You Xiangrui enters the palace, what can it do? It is definitely not her who is unlucky, but Li Guifei.
You Xiangrui's entry into the palace took away Concubine Li's favor and status, but she, the queen, would not be affected. At most, His Majesty was greedy for beauty and did not enter her Yuanhui Palace. As long as she was still the queen, she would not care about the favor.
If the queen had cared a lot in the past, she would have quarreled with Concubine Li for so many years, but now that the prince has married, and she will have a daughter-in-law, she will not care so much about such things. As long as she is still the queen, everything can be discussed.
As they were talking, Concubine Li and her friends arrived, and Madam Zhao immediately raised her voice to report.
Su Xinyi sat up straight in an instant, and put on a gentle and humble smile on her face again.
Queen: ...
Even this change of face has some of her skills when she was young.
Concubine Li has always been a high-profile person. Today, she was wearing a pomegranate red palace dress with gold threads all over the ground, which was really dazzling. Following behind her were Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming. The dress of these two was immediately compared to Concubine Li. They were very plain and had no sense of existence.
"Meet the Queen," Concubine Li had to bow to the Queen even if she was unwilling.
"No need to be polite, sit down." The Queen smiled particularly kindly. How could she not be happy to see Concubine Li's joke?
Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming looked at each other and felt that the Queen was in a good mood today.
Concubine Ruan Ming's eyes fell on the Crown Princess. After a look, she didn't find anything different from usual, so she suppressed her thoughts and became more cautious.
Su Xinyi was used to being a wooden man in such occasions. Anyway, as long as Concubine Li didn't deliberately find her, she could do it without saying a word and be a decoration.
Obviously, Concubine Li didn't want Su Xinyi to be a wooden man today.
"I thought that the Crown Princess had been praying for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for so long in the Daling Temple, and I thought she must have written many scriptures to offer to the Buddha." Concubine Li's eyes fell on Su Xinyi, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "Your Majesty's birthday is coming soon, and I want to ask the Crown Princess for a favor. I wonder if the Crown Princess is willing?"
Su Xinyi raised her head and looked at Concubine Li, "Copying scriptures requires sincerity. Since the Concubine is copying scriptures for her father, how can she let others do it?"
"The Crown Princess really loves to joke. How could I do such a thing? I thought that the Crown Princess had experience in copying scriptures, but I asked you to go to Yuzhao Palace to help me pick a few scriptures."
Su Xinyi didn't believe that things would be so simple. Concubine Li didn't know what idea she was holding back. She really wanted to refuse, but she heard the queen say: "Concubine, if you go to the Crown Princess for a matter like scripture, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong person." , what can she understand at such a young age? I have quite a lot of experience. I will tell you about it some other time. Besides, now that the Crown Princess is helping me with the palace affairs, I am too busy to leave. Time will take care of your worries, so don’t embarrass her.”
Su Xinyi didn't expect the queen to speak for her, and thinking about the last sentence, she couldn't help but feel a little funny. Is this embarrassing?
The queen would really put a high hat on Concubine Li.
The queen gave her the steps, and Su Xinyi naturally walked down the slope and nodded immediately, "That's what the queen said."
Su Xinyi acted as if the queen said whatever she said. Concubine Li was heartbroken again and couldn't help but look at the two of them suspiciously. When did the relationship between the queen and Su Xinyi become so good?
The queen did not intend to let Concubine Li off so easily. She sighed softly, looked at Concubine Li and said earnestly: "Concubine, I heard that the concubine next to King Xiang is pregnant. If this matter comes to your Majesty's ears, , The concubine has not yet been married, and the concubine has given birth to a child. How can your majesty choose a princess for Prince Xiang? Which girl is willing to do so?"
Concubine Li's expression suddenly changed, and she felt dissatisfied with Fuyun in her heart. However, she refused to reveal anything to the queen, and only said lightly: "He is just a bastard. Even if His Majesty knew about it, he would not take it to heart. Prince Xiang is a soft-hearted person. Even if he is a concubine, he is still his own flesh and blood. Since he has it, he has to give birth to it. "
How could the queen not see what Concubine Li was thinking? She sighed in a pretentious manner, "That's what I said, but the concubine next to King Xiang is so favored. I heard that it has spread all over the capital, so you still have to take care of Concubine Li." Just take care of it. A concubine is a concubine after all, so don’t let your heart grow too big. How will she deal with it when the concubine comes in the future? "
Su Xinyi listened to the Queen's repeated words that hit Concubine Li. For the first time, she discovered that the Queen's mouth was also very tight.
This is obviously taking advantage of Fu Yun's incident to warn Concubine Li that no matter how much you behave, you are nothing more than a concubine.
Besides, who spread the news about Fuyun's favor to everyone in the capital? Su Xinyi felt that the empress's handiwork was indispensable.
Concubine Li couldn't beg for it today, so she felt even more disgusted if she didn't face Fuyun.
The queen was right about one thing. If Fuyun really left a concubine's eldest son, her son's marriage would probably have some twists and turns, and no girl from any family would be willing to become a mother-in-law.
After returning to Yuzhao Palace, Concubine Li's expression was uncertain. At this time, Grandma Ren walked in, lowered her head and whispered a few words beside the concubine.
Concubine Li's expression changed, "Is everything you said true?"
Aunt Ren nodded hurriedly, "The palace servants who swept the small garden got the news from the people around the Crown Princess. Miss Pei from Wu'an Hou Mansion came to visit the Crown Princess. No one in the East Palace knew it, but they never expected that it was for Such a thing. Madam, if it is true, you must make plans early."
Concubine Li slapped her hand on the table and her face became even more ugly.
The last draft was for the prince. Speaking of which, no one has been admitted to the harem in six years. Is your majesty tempted?
"The news coming from the East Palace?" Concubine Li felt that this matter was not simple. "Who is Su Xinyi? How could such news leak out from the East Palace so easily."
"Is your Majesty saying that the Crown Princess did it on purpose?"
"Definitely." Concubine Li said solemnly.
"Why don't I ask someone to check whether the matter is true or not?" Nanny Ren was still very worried, in case it was true.
Concubine Li suddenly remembered something, "Did someone say yesterday that the Marquis of Wu'an had sent a notice to the palace to pay homage to the Queen?"
Aunt Ren thought for a while, "That's what happened."
Concubine Li sneered, "Since Su Xinyi dares to let the news out, I'm afraid that this matter is true. Pei Nianwei is also really stupid. He can't even enter the East Palace. Now someone else will pick the peach."
"My Lady, if it is true, how should we deal with this matter?" Aunt Ren was very worried. If it was true, the girl from the You family dared to act like she met His Majesty outside the palace. This shows that she is not a good person. With each other.
If this really enters the palace, it won't necessarily cause trouble.
The queen sits firmly in the back seat, and the concubine is the one who suffers the most.
Concubine Li had obviously thought of this as well. She looked at Aunt Ren and said, "Send a letter home and check the details of the You family. It would be best if you can grab the handle."
If there is a clue, what will happen to the girl from the You family even if she enters the palace? It is not to be held in the palm of her hand.
Seeing the stern look on the imperial concubine's face, Aunt Ren quickly nodded in agreement, "Old slave, I'll go now."
As soon as Aunt Ren left, Concubine Li called Song Yue in again, looked at her and said, "Go to Prince Xiang's Mansion. The piece of meat in Fuyun's belly must not be reborn. Keep an eye on it and deal with it."
Hearing this, Songyue spoke in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "My Lady, I'm afraid Your Highness won't agree. What will this slave do then?"
Concubine Li thought of her son's protection of Fu Yun, took a deep breath and said, "You take people to Prince Xiang's Mansion, and I will ask someone to invite Prince Xiang into the palace."
Songyue nodded when she heard this. As long as the prince was not in the palace, she could still handle a small concubine. "Then I'll leave right now."
Li Guifei nodded, "Go ahead, deal with it cleanly. Tell Fuyun that if he wants to live a decent life, he should be law-abiding and not have any bad thoughts, otherwise it will not be the meat in her belly next time, but her."
Fuyun dared to get pregnant and want to give birth before the main wife entered the house. Such ambition and scheming, Li Guifei would never tolerate it.
A mere fisherman's daughter, really thinks she is a fairy in the sky.
Li Guifei looked at Si Chen beside her again, "Is the person I asked you to pick last time ready?"
Si Chen nodded hurriedly, "She has been trained for a while. Does the queen want to see her?"
Li Guifei said, "Bring the person here, and when the prince comes, let her serve tea to the prince."
She didn't believe that the beautiful girl could not compare to a fisherman's daughter!
