Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi with a smile, "I'll let Zhang Jian go, you don't have to worry."

Su Xinyi nodded hurriedly, "It's best for Zhang to go."

He is the chief steward of the East Palace, and it is also appropriate for him to come forward.

Yan Junchu called Zhang Jian over and gave him some instructions. Zhang Jian immediately nodded and left.

Su Xinyi looked at the prince and said, "I think it must be the Queen's intention. She is on guard against You Xiangrui entering the palace to get these things."

Yan Junchu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if she has that intention, she won't get it."

After all, his father still has some face.

"Anyway, the Queen helped with this matter. I will go to Yuanhui Palace tomorrow to thank her." Su Xinyi pondered and said, "What gift do you think we should give to the Queen?"

Yan Junchu thought for a while and said, "Send the coral in Curry over."

Su Xinyi nodded in agreement. Coral is beautiful and rare, and it looks good as a decoration. She remembered that the Queen had a pink coral, but it was only one foot high, not big.

The one in the storeroom was a white coral, but it was more than two feet long, and it was also spectacular in size.

The couple was in a good mood. After dinner, Yan Junchu pushed her into the tent. Since they came back, they have been busy and have not been able to get close to each other.

The next morning, the prince had already gotten up to attend the morning court. After breakfast, Su Xinyi went to Yuanhui Palace again and brought the coral to the Queen.

The Queen was quite surprised to see the coral Su Xinyi brought, and she was even more surprised to know that it was for her. Then she smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

"This is what your Highness asked me to bring specially for my mother." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

The queen knew that the prince was thanking her, so she was not polite. She asked Zhao Ma to put it away, and then looked at Su Xinyi and said, "The prince is thoughtful."

"This is what I should do." Su Xinyi was also happy. It's better for everyone to be happy than for them to fight each other and let the enemy gain benefits.

As usual, wait for the concubines in the harem to pay their respects to the queen first, and then follow the queen to handle the palace affairs.

Today's greetings were much quieter, and even Concubine Li was not as noisy as before. I don't know what she was thinking about. She was obviously absent-minded. She stood up and said goodbye after a few words.

Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming also took their leave. After they left, the queen took Su Xinyi to handle the palace affairs. After the summer banquet, she was obviously much more relaxed, and it didn't take long to handle it.

The Queen looked at Su Xinyi, "This year, a group of palace maids should be released. Next year, there will be a general election. Not only will we fill the harem for Your Majesty, but we will also select a group of palace maids to enter the palace."

Su Xinyi nodded, and her mind quickly turned. Letting the palace maids out of the palace, did the Queen want her to join in?

This is a bit interesting.

Looking at Su Xinyi's burning eyes, the Queen sighed. The Crown Princess's brain is too good. She just mentioned it, and she knew what to do.

Your Majesty really chose a good daughter-in-law for the Crown Prince. She didn't need to say anything extra. Su Xinyi naturally knew what to do.

"Thank you, mother. Your daughter-in-law will definitely follow you to handle this matter well." Su Xinyi smiled happily.

Letting the palace maids out of the palace is not a simple matter. You can take this opportunity to do many things.

For example, if Su Xinyi knew about Concubine Li's secret agent, she could take this opportunity to get the person out of the palace, which is equivalent to clipping Concubine Li's wings.

Next year, the selection of palace maids will be carried out. If she can still follow the Queen to do this, she can also take the opportunity to arrange her own people to come in as spies.

I didn't expect the Queen to be so generous. She herself doesn't have such connections, but the prince may not have them. This is equivalent to the Queen opening a back door for them. Although it is not very spacious, it is still possible to send a few people in and out.

After hearing this, the Queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "The list of each palace is drawn up by themselves. This is also the rule of the harem."

If each palace draws up its own list, it will be a bit difficult for Su Xinyi to do what she wants.

But the Queen told her so long in advance, didn't she give her time to plan?

When Su Xinyi was still helping the Queen in handling palace affairs in Yuanhui Palace, Zhang Jian took people to the warehouse to transport the things of the previous Queen. With the warehouse account book and the decree of His Majesty in his hand, the warehouse door was quickly opened. While checking the account book, the people of the East Palace began to load the car.

This movement was not small, and the news soon spread to Zhaoyu Palace.

Concubine Li was in a very bad mood these two days. After hearing this news, she was so angry that her nose was crooked. It was very sudden.

It happened that Prince Xiang came to the palace to pay respects. Concubine Li looked at her son, "What are you doing here? Why don't you stay with your beloved baby?"

Prince Xiang frowned slightly when he heard his mother's words, "Mother, my son came to the palace to discuss important matters with you."

Concubine Li was annoyed when she heard this. What important matters, what else is more important than the affairs of the East Palace?

"Look at your current appearance, you are totally at a loss for a Fuyun. Today, the East Palace has moved all the things of the late queen away. Do you know?" Concubine Li said angrily.

Prince Xiang had just entered the palace and had no idea about this news. He was stunned.

Concubine Li's face became even uglier when she saw it. If it was news like this from her son before, she would not need to remind her. She would have known it long ago, but what about now?

Prince Xiang's expression was also grim. He looked at his mother and concubine and said, "Concubine, my son really wants to tell you about Fuyun seriously. Do you know what is being said outside now?"

How could Concubine Li know what was being said outside? She couldn't help but frown when she heard her son's words, "What do you want to say?"

King Xiang told the matter, and Concubine Li's face became even darker. She looked at her son and said angrily: "I have long said that this Fuyun is a disaster. Look, am I right? Since she entered Xiang "Prince's Mansion, how much has happened?"

"Mother!" King Xiang had a headache, "What's the use of talking about this now? If you don't target Fuyun, how can others take advantage of it? I beg you as your son, don't stare at Fuyun anymore, just If we work together, these rumors will disappear.”

"The rumors have been dispelled, but how can you find Princess Xiang?" Concubine Li looked at her son and asked.

Prince Xiang said: "Mother, Fuyun is just an aunt. If there weren't these turmoils, how could anyone care about her? What's more, she can hardly give birth now, so just let this news out."

What kind of threat can a concubine who cannot have children pose?

Concubine Li made some sense when she thought about it, but she was still disgusted with Fuyun and didn't want to mention her anymore. She looked at her son and said, "Do you know what happened at the Marquis Wu'an Mansion?"

King Xiang hesitated for a moment. When Concubine Li saw it, she knew that her son must have known something before, so she said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Next year, my father will also have a talent show. The Marquis Wu'an Mansion has sent word that they want to cooperate with me. If we join forces, even if You's daughter enters the palace, she will not be harmful to my mother and concubine. Don't worry." King Xiang said.

Concubine Li sneered, "Everyone in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is short-sighted, but I didn't expect that this time they would sink the boat. That You's daughter is a bit like the former empress. By sending someone to the palace, they are breaking up with the prince and asking you to cooperate." No surprises either.”

Prince Xiang smiled and said, "The prince has always been indifferent to Wu'anhou's mansion. Originally, Wu'anhou wanted to send his daughter to the East Palace, but it was said that the princess refused. Seeing that there was no benefit, he became anxious. This couple We are doing a good job. The prince and his wife have turned against each other. When the news spreads, even if the Wu'an Hou Mansion is criticized, the prince cannot escape. "

Concubine Li's eyes lit up when her son said this. She had been so angry recently that she didn't even think of this.

"If you can plan well, it's not impossible." Li Guifei said thoughtfully.

"I asked Prince Fuyun about things before..."

Concubine Li:...

"What did you say?" Concubine Li almost gasped.

"Mother and concubine, don't be angry. Listen to your son. There are constant rumors about you and Fuyun. If you want to suppress this matter, my son thinks it is better to borrow the name of the prince. Now I I asked the prince for advice, and the prince gave his son an idea..." King Xiang briefly recounted the conversation with the prince.

Concubine Li looked much better this time, "The prince's words are in line with my wishes. If you had done this earlier, how could you have done this?"

"Mother, concubine, it's useless to talk about this anymore. My son is thinking of using the prince's words to send Fuyun out of Zhuangzi to recuperate in a high-profile way. What do you think?"

Concubine Li looked at her son, "You want people to know that it was the prince's idea to send Fuyun out, but what's wrong with the prince?"

"But what if something bad happens to Fuyun on Zhuangzi? For example, he becomes too sad and falls ill, or he becomes sick with worry. After all, Fuyun is my savior..."

Concubine Li's fingers moved slowly on the table. If Fuyun got seriously ill, they could publicize the prince's idea and almost drive him to death. This would not be a good thing for his reputation.

The two mother and son looked at each other, and then Concubine Li snorted, "Fuyun is willing?"

"For my sake, Fuyun is naturally willing. Concubine, Fuyun treats his son sincerely, so please show your respect. She has been sent to Zhuangzi before her miscarriage is full term. If she gets seriously ill again, it will be harmful to her health. It really hurts a lot. Seeing that she has made such a big sacrifice for her son, please don’t make things difficult for her anymore.”

Concubine Li snorted and didn't say anything else this time. Fuyun couldn't give birth anyway, so since she could still help her son keep her, it wasn't impossible, and a concubine that couldn't give birth wouldn't stop her son from choosing a princess with a good background. , it was pleasing to look at her reluctantly.

Prince Xiang was slightly relieved, it seemed that he had taken the right step.

The mother and son discussed for a long time, and then King Xiang hurriedly left the palace.

The next day, King Xiang sent Fu Yun to Zhuangzi with great fanfare. Regarding Fu Yun, a fisherman girl, there was a lot of buzz in the capital. Now King Xiang is actually willing to send her away?

What happened?

Soon the news about the prince's advice for King Xiang spread.

It was already that afternoon when Su Xinyi found out. When she found out that the news had spread everywhere, she knew that this was King Xiang's deliberate act, which made her very angry.

Prince Xiang is a very sinister person. If he publicizes this matter in such a big way, he must have back-up plans waiting for the prince.

When the prince returned to Deyang Palace, Su Xinyi told him about the matter. Yan Junchu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You have made progress now."

"What should we do about this matter?" Su Xinyi looked at His Highness and asked, "We can't just let it go."

"My father is choosing a princess for them. At this stall, Prince Xiang sent her away with great fanfare and even preached that Fu Yun could not regenerate. It was obviously for his own marriage." Yan Junchu said.

Su Xinyi sat down next to him, "This is really embarrassing. We can't just suffer this loss. We have to find a way."

Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi's angry look and reached out to tap her cheek.

Su Xinyi:......

She coughed slightly uncomfortably and said, "If it were an ordinary person, I would be able to knock on the door."

Yan Junchu was happy, "I believe it."

Su Xinyi really wanted to put a bag on Prince Xiang and beat him up, but at this juncture, if Prince Xiang was beaten, others would suspect her, and she was afraid of causing trouble for His Highness.

Before the fall, the weather was so hot that it was annoying. Even though there was an ice basin placed in the palace, Su Xinyi was still a little irritable. This Prince Xiang was really like a toad crawling on his insteps. He didn't bite but was disgusting.

"The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion has also approached Prince Xiang."

"What?" Su Xinyi was really stunned by the shamelessness of Wu'an Houfu.

King Xiang was jumping up and down when the prince went on an expedition. Who didn't know what King Xiang was thinking? The Marquis of Wu'an Mansion was in contact with King Xiang. This meant that he was really going to break up with the prince.

"It's too much." Su Xinyi's face was not only dark, but also black with a green tint. She was so angry that she was dying. "This is because my father hasn't made any move yet. The people in Wu'anhou Mansion are afraid that the attempt to draw water from a bamboo basket will be in vain."

Su Xinyi also thought that after the summer banquet, maybe You Xiangzhe would be able to enter the palace soon, but there has been no movement for several days. She was naturally happy. People are afraid that they will become anxious.

After spending such a huge amount of money, the prince was offended, so he just had to turn against him face to face. If things don't work out now, it would really be a waste of money.

Coming to cooperate with Prince Xiang, you can really think of it and do it.

Seeing Su Xinyi's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, Yan Junchu gently pulled her into his arms and slowly said, "Ayuan, you are the only one in the world who can truly consider me."

Su Xinyi felt very sad after hearing these words, and stretched out her arms to hug His Highness's waist, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely be angry for Your Highness."

"Are you angry?" Yan Junchu asked with a smile.

Su Xinyi nodded, "The person who robs with a knife does not have to be knocked on the door. You can also have someone deliver it to the door."

"Huh?" Yan Jun couldn't think of how Prince Xiang could come to his door on his own.

"We have to hunt every year. In previous years we were in the palace. If we don't go to the palace to escape the summer this year, we can't do it, right?" Su Xinyi raised her head and looked at His Highness and said with a smile. The hunting ground in the capital was still empty.

Being idle is also idle, isn’t it?

Yan Junchu immediately said in a serious tone, "You are right, I will submit a letter tomorrow about the hunt. After this year's battle with the Tatars, the royal family, the nobles and nobles, and the various guards in the capital should also come out to practice."

The look on His Highness's face was so righteous. If she hadn't come up with the idea, she would have thought that His Highness was really serving the country and the people.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The next day, the prince indeed mentioned this matter in the court. The capital has never been easy since the Tatar war began. Now that the battles have been won and the summer banquet has passed, it is time to relax. Hunting is a good activity.

Coupled with the incident of the traitor in Zhangping Mansion, the atmosphere in the court was very stagnant. His Majesty's temperament has changed a lot recently. Hunting can make people feel better. This idea was unanimously approved by the courtiers.

King Xiang:......

The prince is really too naughty, why didn't he think about this matter?

The hunting matter was quickly settled. After Su Xinyi got the news, he was going to see the Queen. When he saw the person, he said, "Mother, my daughter-in-law thinks we can also organize the ladies of the capital to participate."

The queen looked at Su Xinyi in shock, "Hunting?"

Su Xinyi nodded.

The queen said with a dull face, "How can this be done? There are many dangers on the hunting ground. What can a group of female family members do? It's better not to cause trouble."

"Mother, how can this be considered to be adding to the chaos? When Taizu raised the army, there was a battle formation composed of women. Moreover, as far as my daughter-in-law knows, she has the granddaughter of Duke Zheng, the daughter of Commander Xiong, the daughter of Commander Zhao, and Commander Xu of the Shenji Battalion. The daughters of the envoy are all good ladies, and they don’t need to be expensive. When the time comes, my daughter-in-law will take them with her to make her mother’s face look good. These are the female soldiers you brought out. "

The queen was suddenly very excited. She didn't know about others, but Su Xinyi was praised by Duke Zheng for her ability. If she could really come out on top in the hunting field, she, the queen, would definitely have a bright face.

Seeing the queen's heart moved, Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Mother, it is our honor to follow the example of our ancestors. If you can show your power this time, maybe the Tatars dare to invade again in the future, and you can Even if I can't join the battle, I can cheer you up."

The queen's biggest worry now is that her natal family has collapsed. If she can establish her own reputation and have the glory that cannot be replaced without relying on anyone, then her position as queen will be stable. No matter who enters the palace, she does not have to worry.

The queen's heart was burning at this moment. Of course she knew that Su Xinyi had her own selfish motives and wanted to use her hand to get His Majesty's permission, but she didn't mind, it was a win-win situation.

She just used her mouth, but Su Xinyi had to use her hands and brains. The two worked together perfectly.

The queen suppressed the excitement in her heart, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Are you sure?"

"Mother, no one can say with 100% certainty about things in this world, but I will try my best." Su Xinyi smiled.

There are many talented people in the capital, and there are countless martial arts masters. Qin Guansheng alone should not be underestimated.

Su Xinyi has never fought with Qin Guansheng, but she has seen his bravery in battle.

However, in order to beat the dog head of King Xiang, she has to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire!
