Yan Junchu said goodbye and left, and met King Wu and King Jing at the door. The two came over to greet him immediately when they saw him, "Big brother."

Yan Junchu smiled and nodded, "Why are you here? Is there something?"

King Jing smiled and said nothing, but King Wu said straightforwardly, "Father asked us to come here, it seems to be about marrying a wife."

Yan Junchu said warmly after hearing this, "This is a major event in life. If Father asks you, you must answer seriously."

King Wu agreed with a smile, "Big brother is right, I listen to you."

King Jing also smiled and nodded, but he felt that his big brother was really good at pretending. When his father asked him to marry Su Xinyi, he was not reluctant. Outsiders don't know, don't they, the brothers, know it?

However, King Jing doesn't dare to say this now. After all, anyone with eyes can see that his big brother is very concerned about his crown princess now.

Yan Junchu left without saying anything else. King Jing looked at King Wu and said, "Third brother, do you have someone you like?"

King Wu glanced at his sixth brother, then smiled and asked, "What about you?"

King Jing was stumped by King Wu's question, and said after a while, "Not yet."

King Wu smiled, but didn't say anything else.

King Jing: ...

I always feel that Third Brother is different now than before.

Yan Junchu asked Yang Jin to take people to Yuling Temple, and then he went to the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case. Because of the incident with King Xiang, the Ministry of Justice has been busy since the incident, and it was even more nervous when the prince came.

On the other side, Su Xinyi also got the news that the guard committed suicide by taking poison, and her expression was not very good. He committed suicide before he was caught. From this, we can see the cruelty of the person behind the scenes.

Zhan Qiao saw that the Crown Princess looked unhappy, thought for a while and said: "The old man said that you should be patient. The death of a person does not necessarily mean that there are no clues. You should wait for news."

"Grandfather has a way?" Su Xinyi's eyes lit up. She had never encountered such a thing before, nor had she encountered a dead man, so she didn't know what to do for a while. She had no experience.

But when her grandfather said this, he might have some ideas.

"The old man didn't say anything else, just asked you to wait for news." Zhan Qiao paused here, "The third young master took people to Huaining."

Su Xinyi looked up at Zhan Qiao when she heard this, "Could it be that there is a way in the hometown?"

Zhan Qiao shook his head. He didn't know this, but after thinking about it, he still said, "The family has a rich foundation, but they didn't need to take action before."

Su Xinyi felt that she didn't understand her family well enough. In her previous life, she only knew that their branch in the capital was scattered, and she didn't know the situation in her hometown at all.

Now it seems that the old house has a deeper foundation than she thought, as it has been able to stay in Huaining for so many years.

"Okay, I know, you go back and tell your grandfather to let him rest assured." Since Su Xinyi knew that her family had taken action, she would not act rashly.

Zhan Qiao responded and walked out. Halfway through, she heard the Crown Princess say again: "Prince Rong will arrive in the capital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You and Lord Yang will go to greet him then."

Prince Rong is now developing in the direction of being young and promising, and Su Xinyi feels that she should encourage him, so asking Zhan Qiao to greet him is to express her attitude.

After all, she had been unkind to Prince Rong in the past, and now that the relationship is very good, she has to show her attitude as the eldest sister-in-law.

Prince Rong, who was traveling overnight, felt his nose itchy and sneezed, muttering in his heart that he didn't know who was talking about him again.

After thinking about it, the only one who could think of him like this was his mother. If his elder brother had time, he might even say something. As for that evil star Su Xinyi, it was good enough that she didn't hit him, and she couldn't even think about saying anything.

Thinking of this, Prince Rong wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

In the palace, Prince Wu and Prince Jing took their leave after seeing the emperor. On the way out of the palace, Prince Jing looked at Prince Wu and hesitated to speak. His third brother had really changed a little. He actually said directly in front of his father that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and his father actually agreed.

Prince Jing was now regretting his intestines. If he had known this, he should have chosen one himself. Unfortunately, it was a pity that it was difficult to regret if he had known earlier.

How come everyone has become different from before? This made him feel a little uneasy.

"Third brother, what do you think? Just tell your father like this. What if your father doesn't agree?" Prince Jing couldn't help but ask.

King Wu looked at King Jing in surprise, "Sixth brother, didn't my elder brother say before? If the emperor asks us, we should answer seriously."

King Jing:...

Then you really believe it?

What if the prince sets a trap for them?

King Wu looked at King Jing's expression and said nothing. He rarely smiled, "Sixth brother, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

King Jing watched King Wu hurriedly walk towards the harem. He must have told Concubine Ruan Ming about this.

King Jing was silent for a while, and walked out of the palace with heavy steps. After a few steps, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he turned around and went to Zhaoyang Palace.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine Qi Xian was shocked when she heard her son's words. She couldn't believe her ears, "Did King Wu really say that he wanted to marry a girl from the Ji family?"

King Jing nodded, "Yes."

"Did your father really agree?" Concubine Qi Xian asked again, "Didn't he say anything else?"

King Jing shook his head, "My father only asked the third brother if he really liked the Ji family's daughter. He also said that once the imperial edict is issued, he cannot go back on it."

Concubine Qi Xian looked at her son. The mood between mother and son was really complicated now. His Majesty was not so easy to talk to before. He always had his own ideas no matter what he did. No matter whether he was a concubine or a son, who would be so easy on your Majesty? When they talk about their preferences in front of others, they always act based on assumptions.

Concubine Qi Xian thought of this, looked at her son and asked, "Do you have a girl you like? If you tell my mother, I will tell you to the queen later."

Go directly to see His Majesty. Concubine Qi Xian would have dared to go if it was about the hunting grounds before, but now that something happened to Prince Xiang, she does not dare to go in front of His Majesty, but she does dare to ask the Queen to help.

King Jing still shook his head, "My son doesn't have a favorite girl. He just wants to marry someone who has a gentle temperament and can manage the family well."

Seeing the twists and turns of Prince Xiang's marriage, he doesn't dare to think too much now. He just thinks that the prince and the princess are very good. He just wants to find someone who can save his worries and doesn't have to be as capable as the princess. Don't give it to him. Just cause trouble.

When Concubine Qi Xian heard that her son had gone to the same place with her, the smile on her face became much happier, "You are right to think this way. If you marry a virtuous wife, even if her appearance is a bit different, you can still have a concubine in the future. . But the first wife should not be careless. If you marry someone carelessly, your life will not be easy in the future. "

King Jing nodded, "That's what my mother and concubine said."

"What do you think of the girl from the Qingtu family of Dali Temple?" Concubine Qi Xian actually had a candidate in mind for a long time, but His Majesty kept delaying her, and now that Prince Xiang's incident has come up, she kept it in her heart and did not dare to speak out.

Now His Majesty suddenly asked her son about getting a wife, and she felt that she should discuss it with her son first.

King Jing thought of Tu Jian's serious face, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Concubine, have you seen Miss Tu?"

Concubine Qi Xian nodded, "Of course I have seen it before. Madam Tu showed up with her daughter at the New Year's Banquet."

"But didn't the third son of the Tu family marry the princess' sister?" King Jing said hesitantly. If he married a girl from the Tu family, wouldn't he also have a crooked relationship with the princess?

"So what?" Concubine Qi Xian said disapprovingly, "The Tu family has a good family tradition. If the Tu family girl marries you and becomes the princess, apart from anything else, the affairs of the palace will definitely be taken care of for you. Besides, right now, It seems that His Majesty attaches great importance to the Crown Prince. Look at the things that the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion has done. His Majesty has not done anything here, but there is endless trouble over there. Now Prince Xiang has fallen into a pit, and the mother-in-law feels that the Prince's I'm afraid no one can shake your status. With this relationship, you will be closer to the prince than other brothers."

King Jing knew that his mother-in-law had her own plans. He thought about it and said, "My son will listen to you."

Concubine Qi Xian was very happy. She looked at her son and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law will definitely not harm you. I am not like Concubine Li who chooses a concubine for her son. Her eyes are so high that they can reach the sky. I will marry you someone who can live a down-to-earth life. No." I'll be satisfied if I hold you back."

Concubine Qi Xian also wanted to let her choose her daughter-in-law, but she was not the prince. His Majesty would definitely not let his other sons marry a daughter-in-law with a greater pomp than the prince. Moreover, the prince Su Xinyi's temperament was really not easy to get along with. Too tough, so my daughter-in-law can't be too strong-tempered. Isn't this point of reference going to cause trouble for my son?

She had long since taken a fancy to the girl from the Tu family, and she had been secretly inquired about several times. They all said that she had a virtuous character, that she had studied at home and studied with the master for several years, that she had a good temperament and was talented, and that she had some connections with the East Palace. How could she? I think this is a good marriage.

The two mothers reached an agreement, and Concubine Qi Xian put aside her worries. Then she looked at her son and asked, "Do you know how your father plans to deal with the matter between Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhe?"

"How could my son know about such a thing? However, the commotion was so big that Marquis Wu'an has already asked to see His Majesty, but His Majesty has not yet announced the summons. Concubine Li Guifei from King Xiang also went to Zichen Palace to cry. It's hard to say what will happen in the end."

After listening to her son's words, Concubine Qi Xian sighed, "Why can't you get involved in this kind of thing? Your father only has the crown prince and Prince Rong in his heart. Now that Prince Rong is gone, there is only one crown prince in the capital. Prince Xiang is Concubine Li's heart. , we hide as far as we can.”

King Jing was amused by his mother's words and said slowly: "You don't have to worry too much. My son has grown up now and can protect you. He won't let Concubine Li bully you like I did when I was young. I will support you.”

After hearing this, Concubine Qi Xian felt relieved. She looked at her son and said, "Do you think it's still the past? Why did Concubine Li agree to join forces with the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion to bring You Xiangzhi into the palace this time? Don't think that everyone else is. I don’t understand, if it weren’t for the crown prince position, Concubine Li would be willing to support someone who competes with her for favor?”

At this point, Concubine Qi Xian was suddenly startled, "Do you think it's possible that the prince did this?"

After all, the matter of Wu'an Hou's Mansion was really uncomfortable, because she didn't have much affection for the late Queen, let alone the Crown Prince, and she still felt uncomfortable looking at her.

King Jing shook his head, "My son can't just talk nonsense without evidence, but the fact that things happened so coincidental will inevitably make people suspicious."

"Although You Xiangzhe is not of high birth, she can't stand the fact that the late queen is her aunt, and with that face... your father may not be cruel enough to deal with her." Concubine Qi Xian sneered, "If you really let You Xiangzhi became Princess Xiang, and Concubine Li was probably going to explode. "

King Jing also smiled, "No matter how the emperor deals with it, it has nothing to do with us. You should spend more time with Concubine Ming on weekdays, and don't get involved in other things."

Concubine Qi sighed, "How dare I, your mother, get involved? You haven't seen how sharp the Crown Princess's mouth is. If anyone says something unpleasant to her, she will fight back on the spot. Concubine Li has been fought back by her several times. The Queen is the master of the six palaces, and now she has the Crown Princess to help. I just want to live a good life and wait for my grandson in the future."

King Jing asked in astonishment: "Concubine Li was fought back by the Crown Princess, is that so Why did you admit it?"

"It is said that the Crown Princess is powerful. She has a reason and evidence, and she can catch the loopholes in Li Guifei's words on the spot. How can the children of the old Su family be so powerful even if they are raised outside?"

King Jing hesitated and said, "Among the people of the generation of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, only the Crown Princess is so flamboyant. The prince Su Yi has always been honest. I don't know about the others who studied in the academy before, but this time Su Qi made military achievements, which is really impressive. Abandoning literature and joining the military, he can still make military achievements in a short period of time. It is really amazing. "

"The prince of the Duke of Qi's Mansion is not I followed Prince Rong to the south to join the caravan. Prince Rong is now close to the Crown Prince. This time he brought Su Yi south with him. He promoted the Crown Princess's brother. I hope that if you marry Miss Tu, the Crown Prince will be more lenient to you. "

Prince Jing: ...

Prince Jing couldn't help but look at his mother and added, "Prince Su has his own abilities. Although he is honest and simple, he is a good official and has made military achievements before. Moreover, my son has seen that the temperament of the people in the Su family has changed since the Crown Princess returned to her ancestral home."

Concubine Qi snorted, " The Crown Princess was someone who dared to come to the door with a gun if she didn't agree with him. The Duke of Qi's Mansion used to be low-key and didn't want to stand out, especially after Su Chun died in battle. The Su family had no geniuses in this generation, so they had to shrink their necks and move forward. Who knew that she was so lucky that the child she found looked like her father. You see, your father felt sorry for Su Chun and married Su Xinyi to the Crown Prince. Some people are destined to be rich and powerful. Even if they are raised in the countryside, they will become famous sooner or later. "

King Jing held his forehead. No matter what, he couldn't afford to offend either the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess.

After all, the Crown Princess was someone who dared to hit even King Rong, and he didn't see how his father and the Queen treated her.

King Jing stood up and said, "Please don't interfere in the affairs of King Xiang and Concubine Li. As long as you like the candidate for your daughter-in-law, it's fine. My son has no objection. I'll leave first. If you have something to say, send someone out of the palace to pass on the message to me."

Concubine Qi waved her hand, "Let's go. I won't keep you for dinner."

The son also liked the candidate for his daughter-in-law. Concubine Qi was very happy about this matter. After sending her son away, she happily went to Yuanhui Palace to find the queen.

The queen was busy all the time. Knowing that Concubine Qi was coming, she calmed down and invited people in. After hearing what Concubine Qi said, the queen thought seriously about which girl from the Tu family was. When the face in her mind matched the name, she looked at Concubine Qi and smiled, "You are good at choosing. The girl from the Tu family is not bad."

When Concubine Qi heard what the queen said, she couldn't hold back the smile on her face. "I don't have anything else to do on weekdays, but I'm not just worrying about this. I want to choose a wife for King Jing, and I don't need to pay attention to family background. As long as the girl has good character, it doesn't matter if her family background is lower."

The queen laughed in her heart when she heard this. Miss Tu's family background is not low, and Tu Jian is a minister that His Majesty uses. Concubine Qi has chosen the person, but she still has to be humble. It's also funny.

"Since you have chosen, I will see if there is Miss Tu on the list. If there is, I will choose her for King Jing. If not, don't be disappointed." The queen looked at Concubine Qi and said.

Concubine Qi was stunned, "How can she not be on the list? I heard that Miss Tu has chosen someone?"

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi, who had been in the palace for so many years that her brain was not working well. "Your Majesty only asked King Jing and King Wu first, and the news has not been released yet, so the list has to be re-drafted." The Queen paused after she finished speaking, "Besides, there must be an explanation for King Xiang's matter, and the list will have to wait for a while, so you can relax and go back and wait."

Concubine Qi's face looked a little bad when she heard the Queen's words. What does this mean?

They didn't dare to say anything about the important matter of King Jing and King Wu choosing a concubine because of the delay of the war. Even if they couldn't send the ladies from various families to the palace for selection like the Crown Prince, at least they couldn't look at King Xiang.

If there is no result in the matter between King Xiang and You Xiangru, other princes can't get married?

Concubine Qi looked at the Queen and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, the matter between Prince Xiang and Miss You..."

The Queen interrupted Concubine Qi, "Your Majesty has his own plan for this matter. Concubine Qi should not ask about it and go back early."

Concubine Qi had to leave, and she was still very angry on the way back. She finally fell in love with the girl from the Tu family. If it takes a few months, what if the girl gets engaged in this time?

Although they are all sons of His Majesty, there are also differences in importance. Her son cannot be compared with the Crown Prince or the Prince Rong. Is he going to be trampled under the feet of the King of Xiang now?

This is not okay.

Concubine Qi thought about it and felt that the matter could not be let go like this. How can she think of a way?

Concubine Qi closed the door to think of countermeasures. On the other side, Su Xinyi and the Crown Prince also got the latest news that Xu Yurong ran away from Yuling Temple and was not caught at all.

After failing to catch Xu Yurong, Su Xinyi knew that Yan Qiongsi would not be able to escape this time. When Yang Jin went to the Prince of Guangping's mansion, she went to Yuanhui Palace to give the Queen some information.

After all, everyone is on the same boat now. Yan Qiongsi is the Queen's niece, so the Queen must be mentally prepared to avoid unexpected events. At that time, the Queen will blame the Prince and her for not taking her, the Queen, seriously.
