Once the Crown Prince Joins In

315: The Third Lady Is Angry

The queen smiled after hearing what Su Xinyi said, "Such things are not rare. You will know when you see more. Google search to read"

Are there not many examples of people who have risen to fame overnight in the harem?

For example, her.

"What mother said is right. Your daughter-in-law still has too little experience. In the future, you will have to help me broaden my horizons." Su Xinyi smiled.

The queen was very comfortable with this flattery. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Don't worry. You will see it when Your Majesty selects the next selection."

Su Xinyi: ...

I always feel that the queen's words imply a lot of people.

Su Xinyi coughed lightly and looked at the queen and said, "There is something that your daughter-in-law just learned. I am a little hesitant whether to tell your mother."

The queen looked at Su Xinyi's embarrassment and became curious for a while. If she could take it so seriously, it must be a big deal. "Tell me, what can't you and me say now?"

Su Xinyi pretended to be relieved, "I really don't know how to tell you. This matter involves Xu Yurong."

Xu Yurong?

The queen thought about it and remembered that Xu Yurong was her nephew's divorced wife. The queen never liked Xu Yurong very much. When she knew that this matter was related to her, her face darkened.

If it was only related to Xu Yurong, Su Xinyi would definitely not mention it. Could it be that Xu Yurong went to harm the Shu family again?

"You say." The queen's face was not very good.

Su Xinyi looked at the queen's expression and thought that although Shu Xuebo and his son had been demoted to commoners, it seemed that the queen did not care about her family.

It's better to care.

She told the news she had inquired about it in a tactful tone.

After hearing this, the queen's face froze. Xu Yurong and Fu Yun got together?

Who is Fu Yun? The concubine of King Xiang, she has always been at odds with Concubine Li. Could Xu Yurong know?

Therefore, the Queen felt that Xu Yurong was now together with Fu Yun, and it must be a bad thing. If Xu Yurong hadn't interfered, would her family have been demoted to commoners?

The Queen was so angry that her face changed. She looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "Is this news accurate?"

Su Xinyi said tactfully, "I didn't believe it when I knew it, so I asked someone to check it out. It turned out that Fu Yun went to Yuling Temple to see Xu Yurong several times."

At this point, Su Xinyi still had a bit of hesitation on her face, and it was obvious that she had something else to say.

"Tell me everything else." The Queen said immediately.

Su Xinyi sighed softly, "The person I sent met Princess Runyi once, but I'm not sure who Princess Runyi went to Yuling Temple to see."

The Queen felt a terrible headache. Qiong Si was actually involved.

The Crown Princess saved Qiong Si's face, but could it be so coincidental?

You should know that Qiongsi had been in contact with Xu Yurong before, but they broke up later, but no one dared to say whether they would get back together.

The queen couldn't suppress her anger. They just saw that her position as queen was too stable, and they had to make something happen to overthrow her.

Seeing the queen like this, Su Xinyi was not much worried. The queen was not a fool, and she would definitely think of the tricks here.

What was Fuyun trying to do by being close to Xu Yurong and Yan Qiongsi?

Who was behind Fuyun?

It was Prince Xiang.

What was Prince Xiang planning?

Could the queen not think of it?

"I will have someone investigate this matter." The queen calmed down and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise I'm afraid I would still be in the dark."

If these little bastards really did something, how could she know from far away in the deep palace? In the end, wouldn't she and her son be the ones who suffered?

The queen always felt that she had done her best for her family, but now she felt that she had failed to manage them properly, which was a mistake.

The queen needed to take a break, so she asked Su Xinyi to sit and drink tea, and she went into the inner hall on the pretext of changing clothes.

After entering, the queen looked at Madam Zhao and ordered: "You go to the Shu family in person and ask Shu Xuebo to investigate what happened to Xu Yurong."

Madam Zhao naturally heard what was said before, and her face was very solemn, "I will go now, but Madam, what if Master Shu refuses?"

The queen sneered, "What Master Shu, what kind of master is a bald commoner?"

Madam Zhao saw that the queen was furious, and hurriedly comforted her: "They have divorced a long time ago, and the master may not know about this."

The queen thought so too, suppressed her anger and looked at Madam Zhao, "Tell Xuebo that if this matter is handled well, maybe the Shu family can still turn over, whether it can turn over or not depends on him."

If this matter is really related to Concubine Li and her son, then when the truth is found out, she can also overturn the case of the Shu family. Even if it cannot be overturned, she can ask His Majesty for mercy and let the Shu family get rid of the common people. Even if they can't get the position of Cheng En Gong again, at least they can turn over.

The queen's mind was working fast. This matter had both advantages and disadvantages. It depended on how she handled it.

She certainly couldn't do it alone, but didn't she still have Su Xinyi?

Su Xinyi told her about this matter. Was she really just talking?

The queen calmed down and sorted out her thoughts. Then she looked at Zhao Ma and reminded her again: "You can't count on my brother. Just tell Xue Bo to do a good job of this matter. I will take care of the rest."

Zhao Ma immediately agreed, "I will go now."

The queen nodded slightly and looked at Aunt Zhao going out, then sighed heavily. It was really a bad year and she always felt that nothing she did was going well.

Not long after Nanny Zhao left, Yin Zhi came in and reported, "Mother, Mrs. Wu Anhou has arrived."

Queen:......

There is no time for people to be clean.

She cheered up and went out. She had to ask about the daughter of the You family. She was a very busy queen.

Mrs. Wu'an Hou entered the palace dressed as a married woman and saw someone sitting next to her. There were not many people who could sit in the main hall of Yuanhui Palace. She thought she was the empress of some palace, but she didn't expect it to be the crown prince. .

Mrs. Wu'anhou's expression darkened, but she had to step forward to greet her according to the rules of her status.

"My wife pays homage to the Crown Princess." Madam Wu'anhou tried her best to look kind. When she remembered that her daughter could not enter the East Palace because of the Crown Princess, she became so angry that she could not suppress her anger.

They didn't want to take the position of the Crown Princess anymore. They could just go to the East Palace and be a good concubine, but it didn't work. It was obvious that the Crown Princess was jealous and intolerant.

Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Wu Anhou, and said that she had met her before, but there were many people at that time, so she would not pay attention if she didn't interact with her.

But it was different now. Su Xinyi looked at Mrs. Wu Anhou with a smile on her face, but her eyes were very cold, with a hint of disgust.

Su Xinyi only thought it was funny. After all, like a daughter, like a mother, Pei Nianwei's temper did not come out of thin air.

"Madam, please get up." Su Xinyi looked at Madam Wu Anhou and said calmly with a distant and polite smile on her face.

When Mrs. Wu Anhou heard the prince's lukewarm voice, she felt even more dissatisfied. After all, she was also the prince's aunt. As expected, she came from the countryside and had no rules.

It’s just that Mrs. Wu Anhou dared to think like this in her heart, and she didn’t dare to say a word with her mouth. This princess has a bad temper. What if she hits herself?

Although she could seek justice after being beaten, it wasn't her who was in pain?

Madam Wu'anhou sat aside and kept silent. She obviously had no intention of chatting with the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi was not willing to talk to her yet, so she smiled and remained silent.

Who doesn't know how to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail?

When the queen came out, she felt that the atmosphere between the two people was very strange. They were obviously smiling, but they looked panicked.

In the past, she would have clapped her hands and watched the fun, but now she doesn't like Mrs. Wu'anhou. Why is she still displaying her aunt's profile here? Who in the whole court doesn't know that the prince is not close to their Wu'anhou residence?

Fortunately, Your Majesty still remembers the late empress's affection, so he is quite good to Wu'anhou Mansion. Otherwise, would Wuanhou Mansion still be ranked high in the capital?

After the Queen sat down, Madam Wu Anhou quickly stood up to greet her and bowed. The Queen smiled and asked Madam Wu Anhou to take her seat, and then said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Madam. How are you doing now?"

"Everything is well with my wife. Empress Lao is worried about her. It's just that she hasn't seen her for a long time, so she thought of coming to the palace to pay her respects." Mrs. Wu'anhou said with a smile.

Su Xinyi's heart became even colder as she listened. She didn't believe that the people in Wu'an Hou Mansion didn't know about the relationship between the queen and the prince. They were still close to the queen under such circumstances. What did it mean?

These people really didn't take the prince's matter seriously, but they just felt that the prince had the blood of their Pei family, and they couldn't let go of the relationship, so they acted recklessly.

The queen was a little embarrassed now. She had a good relationship with the East Palace now. Mrs. Wu Anhou said this, which made her a little embarrassed.

The queen coughed slightly and looked at Madam Wu'anhou, "Does Madam have anything else to do when she comes to the palace this time?"

Mrs. Wu'anhou felt that the Queen's attitude was different from before. Then she thought about it. The Crown Princess was sitting here, and it was certainly not easy for the Queen to get close to her. This thought made her feel that Su Xinyi was in the way.

"There is nothing else. My niece has come all the way from Luzhou. I would like to ask my empress for a favor. Can I take her with me to this summer banquet so that my child can open his eyes to the world. Mrs. Wu Anhou said with a smile on her face.

Su Xinyi naturally knows about the summer banquet, but because of the incident in Zhangping Mansion, today's summer banquet has been postponed. The palace has not yet come out with the regulations. Now Mrs. Wu'an Hou has come to ask, which shows that she is really interested in You Xiangzhi. Very caring.

The smile on the queen's face remained unchanged, and her tone became even softer, "Of course it's okay."

Can she say no?

Speaking of which, You Xiangzhe is still the niece of the first empress. If she doesn't agree, the Pei family may not be able to promote her outside.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess was of the same mind as her, so she had nothing to worry about since she was mentally prepared.

The Pei family wants to plot something, but they don't think about whether His Majesty can be plotted against?

Don't lose your wife and lose your troops when the time comes.

"The summer banquet has not been decided yet. After all, the prince is away on an expedition. Your Majesty and I are very worried. Madam should go back and wait for news. Maybe this year's summer banquet will not be held." The queen said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu'an Hou knew something in her mind. She chatted with the queen for a few more words and then stood up to leave.

The queen asked Yun Yan to see off Mrs. Wu Anhou. After they left, she looked at Su Xinyi and said, "What you said is indeed right, but they can't wait."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "It would be great if the queen knew. If there is nothing else, my daughter-in-law should leave first."

The queen nodded, "You go back and rest too. If there is a summer banquet this year, you can learn from me."

Su Xinyi was a little surprised. This kind of palace banquet was different from helping the queen deal with some minor matters in the palace. This was a good opportunity to make a name for herself. She didn't expect the queen to be so generous.

It seems that the queen is more generous than she thought.

The victory report of Zhangping Prefecture had already been delivered to His Majesty's desk. There were more and more praises for the prince in the court. After Su Xinyi knew about it, she was not happy, but worried.

Your Majesty is still alive, and being the crown prince does not require much merit.

Looking forward to the day when the prince returns to Beijing, Su Xinyi also sent a message to her family and asked her mother and aunt to come to the East Palace.

If Su Xinyi returns to the Duke of Qi's Mansion with her identity, there must be a complete ceremonial guard, which would be too grand. If she misses her family, it would be much more convenient to take her to the East Palace.

The fourth lady and the first lady came as scheduled, and they greeted Su Xinyi and the two of them first.

Su Xinyi hurriedly helped the person up, "Aunt, mother, there is no one here, why are you doing this? Sit down quickly, let's talk, I really miss you so much."

The first lady smiled and said, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, and it cannot be criticized by others."

The fourth lady nodded and looked at her daughter carefully. Seeing that she had not lost much weight, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you are back safely. The family doesn't know how worried you and Your Highness are."

Su Xinyi asked about the health of her grandparents, and also asked about the families of her second and third uncles.

"Your grandparents are fine. They know we are here so you don't have to worry. Your second uncle's family is fine. Your second sister just came back to visit relatives a few days ago. Now that you are the crown princess, the girls in the family have risen with the tide. Life in your husband's family is very good." The first lady said with a smile.

Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing, "Auntie just teased me. Even if I wasn't there, would my sisters who have the Duke's Mansion at home still suffer in their husband's family?"

The eldest lady laughed. What she said made sense, but having a crown princess did make people look up to her. If their family had a crown princess earlier, how could their eldest daughter have suffered so much? But on the other hand, it's a good thing to see people's hearts as soon as possible.

Hearing that the aunt didn't mention the third uncle's family, she guessed that there might be something wrong, so she looked at her mother.

The fourth lady and her daughter had a tacit understanding. When she met her eyes, she knew what she wanted to ask, so she said, "Aunt Weng made a scene at home because of your fifth brother, and she still wanted him to marry the daughter of the Weng family. This time, your third aunt gave up and spread the word that if Su Chu dared to marry the daughter of the Weng family, they would separate your fifth brother and his family after the marriage."

Su Xinyi was quite surprised, "Is the third aunt so powerful this time?"

The first lady took over the conversation, "When you went to Zhangping Prefecture, the Weng family came and brought two girls. They were very arrogant and made your third aunt very angry. A concubine Weng made her feel suffocated for half her life. How could she look at the face of the concubine's wife for the rest of her life? Now she has made a scene."

Su Xinyi:...

"Grandmother will definitely stand on the side of the third aunt." Su Xinyi said with certainty.

"That's right. Your grandmother doesn't think highly of the girls from the Weng family either." The fourth lady sighed, "But it's the third house's own business. In the end, it depends on your third uncle."

"What did the third uncle say?" Su Xinyi frowned slightly.

She really didn't understand why the third uncle liked Aunt Weng so much that she was so naughty?

"Your third uncle hasn't expressed his opinion yet, but Aunt Weng is so powerful that she threatened your fifth brother with death."

It was really a thunderbolt. Su Xinyi was stunned. Thinking about it, it was indeed something Aunt Weng could do.

"Didn't expect it?" The eldest aunt looked at Xinyi and asked.

Su Xinyi shook her head, "In the final analysis, it was because Third Uncle was too indulgent to Aunt Weng before, which made her heart grow."

The Fourth Lady snorted, "When she insisted on marrying in for saving her life, I felt that this person's brain might be different from normal people. She is a decent girl from the Weng family, but she would rather be a concubine than marry your Third Uncle. She said she saved her life, but she fell in love with your Third Uncle, so after marrying in, she has been competing with your Third Aunt. It's a pity that your Third Uncle's brain is not confused in business, but it is much worse in this family matter."

The First Lady smiled, if it was before This was not to be said. Now that Xinyi was married, it was easier to say. She looked at the two and said, "When men were young, they only looked at faces. They liked the prettiest girls. Xinyi didn't know that when Aunt Weng was young, she could beat your third aunt to the ground. But when they are old and have children and grandchildren, men will not look at faces. They have to look at how well they manage the household and the success of their children and grandchildren. Both of your third aunt's children are successful. Your third uncle's heart has long been skewed."

Su Xinyi:...

Auntie really hit the nail on the head. It's true.

Looking at Xinyi's expression, the eldest lady patted her hand, "Don't worry. Although your third aunt has a bad temper and loves to compete, she really can't lose this time. Aunt Weng is smart all her life but confused for a moment. She dares to threaten your fifth brother. Even if your third uncle doesn't care, your grandmother will definitely take care of it."

"Send her to the farm again this time?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile.

"What else can we do? Aunt Weng has given birth to two children, and Xixian is married again. If her husband's family knew that her aunt was driven out of the Duke's Mansion, how can she live with dignity? And your fifth brother has to marry a wife, so he has to take care of the two children. But this time Aunt Weng has to stay in the farm for a long time to recuperate, and it's not easy for her to come back." The eldest lady has to think about everything as the head of the family, but she is indeed a little annoyed that Aunt Weng is not tactful. The concubine of the Duke's Mansion is not her own, and no one else dares to make trouble. Isn't it enough to live a decent life with good food and drink?

The fourth lady couldn't help but say to her daughter: "Your third aunt was also ruthless. She bought a very beautiful maid into the mansion, trained her for a few days, and sent her directly to your third uncle's room."
