343: Waiting for the Dog to Bite the Dog
Su Xinyi carefully selected the fine wine, delicacies, songs and dances. Every dish on the banquet corresponds to today's Qixi Festival, flying in pairs, forever and ever, meeting on the magpie bridge... Every dish is delicious, after all, she has tried them one by one.
Today, the dancer performed the magpie bridge fairy, which tells the story of the seven fairies and Dong Yong. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the song and dance are, they can't stop everyone from thinking differently. Only Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi watched with relish.
When Prince Rong met Zhu Chanyi's bright eyes, he was even more silent for a while.
Miss Ji is probably the most dignified and the most beautiful among the several princesses. She sat next to Madam Ji and Lord Ji from beginning to end without moving. Su Xinyi felt ashamed of herself. This skill is not something that everyone can cultivate.
Miss Ji was asked by the King of Wu to marry him. The King of Wu was a dull person. Now, Miss Ji was not a lively person. Except that she was a little fat and looked very blessed, Su Xinyi could not see much else.
Although the women of Southern Qi were beautiful with slim figure, Miss Ji was just the right amount of fat, which made people feel very comfortable when looking at her.
As for You Xiangru, Su Xinyi did not look at the wife of Marquis Wu'an for much. After all, the relationship between the two families was very delicate. If she looked at her more, she might have something wrong.
Su Xinyi was thinking wildly. His Majesty and the Queen had also agreed with the other families on the date of marriage. The King of Wu, King of Jing, and King of Xiang were arranged according to their ages. The third King of Wu was naturally married first. It was scheduled before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was quite rushed.
Because the marriage of King of Jing and King of Xiang would be held later, Ruan Mingfei and King of Wu did not object to rushing it. Although Lord Ji frowned slightly, he finally agreed.
Su Xinyi should just listen to such things. The wedding of King Jing was scheduled for the end of September, the wedding of King Xiang was scheduled for the end of October, and the wedding of King Rong would have to wait until the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. Su Xinyi could imagine that she would be busy accompanying the queen these days.
Keeping a smile is a very difficult thing.
The emperor glanced at Su Xinyi.
Su Xinyi subconsciously straightened her body, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
Emperor:...
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere in the palace gradually became milder. Several ministers toasted His Majesty, and several ladies talked with the queen and Li Guifei, and the younger generations below could relax a little.
Zhu Chanyi got the chance and came to Su Xinyi. Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing when she looked at her, and Zhu Chanyi sighed faintly.
The two had a good relationship, so Su Xinyi looked at her and said, "I didn't expect that we would have such a fate."
"I don't really want this fate." Zhu Chanyi murmured in a low voice.
Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi like this and knew that Prince Rong's reputation was indeed a little different, but now she had a good relationship with Prince Rong, and she couldn't curse him against her conscience, so she looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "Prince Rong is actually not as unreliable as the rumors outside. Although he is sometimes willful, he is actually very kind-hearted. You will know it in the future."
Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi in surprise, "Didn't you say before..."
Su Xinyi said seriously, "Before, Prince Rong and I had some misunderstandings at that time. Don't worry, I won't lie to you. There is only one thing, you have to suppress Prince Rong's temper from the beginning, otherwise let him suppress you, and your life will definitely be very lively in the future."
Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and listened to her advice. She felt warm in her heart and said to her, "You don't know, I have been feeling very nervous. If I suppress Prince Rong, what if the Queen is dissatisfied with me?"
Zhu Chanyi herself is not afraid, but she is afraid of involving her family.
She had also heard from her mother about the Queen's temperament, and she was not an easy person to get along with.
"Why do you think she chose you to be the wife of Prince Rong? Why did the Queen agree? Didn't she know your temperament? It was because she knew your temperament that she agreed. Do you understand?"
Zhu Chanyi was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Really?"
"In fact, the Queen is also easy to get along with. I will tell you in detail another day. It's not a good time to talk about it today." Su Xinyi smiled.
Zhu Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Xinyi, "I rely on you."
If she hadn't married into the royal family, she wouldn't be so nervous about marrying anyone. After all, with her family background, she could hold on as long as she didn't marry into the royal family, but if she married into the royal family, her family background would be inferior. Zhu Chanyi was used to being casual, so she was afraid that she would not do well and make the Queen embarrassed her family.
Zhu Chanyi now felt confident after hearing what Su Xinyi said. Xinyi would definitely not lie to her. With confidence in her heart, her expression softened a little.
On the other side, Miss Ji and You Xiangru also talked, but seeing that You Xiangru's smile was much bigger than Miss Ji's, and she also looked a little flattering, Su Xinyi glanced at them and didn't look at them much.
Zhu Chanyi and Su Xinyi said goodbye and returned to their seats. Madam Zhu looked at her daughter and asked, "What did you say to the Crown Princess? You looked very happy."
Because of this marriage, everyone in the family was a little worried. Madam Zhu couldn't show it in front of her daughter, and she was forced to be happy.
Now watching her daughter talk to the Crown Princess, she felt relieved and happy.
"I'll tell you when we get back. Anyway, it's a good thing." Zhu Chanyi smiled and said. Their seats were next to the Ji family and the Pei family. Even if they lowered their voices, they would inevitably be heard. She couldn't cause trouble for Xinyi.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back home." Madam Zhu was happy. She thought that her daughter had a good relationship with the Crown Princess, and Prince Rong had a good relationship with the Crown Prince. With the Crown Princess taking care of her, her daughter's life should not be too difficult.
Madam Zhu had never expected Prince Rong to be her son-in-law from the beginning. She knew her daughter's temper, and everyone in the capital knew about Prince Rong's temper. She felt bald just thinking about these two people living together.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess had a good relationship with her daughter. Madam Zhu thought that she would still visit the Duke of Qi's Mansion more often after she returned. A good relationship between the two families would also be good for her daughter.
Madam Zhu suppressed her thoughts and tried not to draw attention to her mother and daughter. Madam Ji next to her looked over here for a few times, then slowly retracted her gaze. When she looked up, she saw the prince and the princess opposite. They didn't know what they were talking about. The prince lowered his head slightly and listened attentively. The princess had a faint smile on her face. Her bright features were set off by the gold hairpin with colorful gems in her hair. It seemed that the two had a very good relationship.
Madam Ji lowered her head slightly and subconsciously looked at King Wu again. King Wu was holding a wine glass in front of the emperor, and there was no expression on his face. Of course, this King Wu has always been dull, and it is difficult for others to see any thoughts from his face.
Madam Ji didn't like this marriage very much, but the imperial decree granted the marriage, and the family couldn't refuse it. After all, among the princes, she actually liked King Xiang more, but King Xiang had such a thing, and Madam Ji would never let her daughter fall into the fire pit.
Madam Ji restrained her emotions and put on a gentle smile again.
The most upset people during this meal were Concubine Li and her son. The King of Xiang did not even look at You Xiangru, and You Xiangru did not look at the King of Xiang. From beginning to end, her eyes were fixed on the food table in front of her.
Su Xinyi swept her eyes around the scene and asked His Highness in a low voice, "How did the Ministry of Justice interrogate Fu Yun?"
Yan Junchu heard this and said, "Today, the confession was made. Fu Yun only said that he went to Yuling Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. As for Xu Yurong or Princess Runyi, she said that with her status, neither of them would like her, and she did not dare to disturb them."
Su Xinyi was stunned, "So, Fu Yun completely cut off his relationship with the two women? Did Yan Qiongsi say the same thing?"
This was really unexpected.
"Yan Qiongsi said she didn't know Fu Yun."
Su Xinyi frowned, "Without real evidence, it's a bargain for them. Did the nun in Yuling Temple say the same thing?"
Yan Junchu nodded.
Su Xinyi felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong. This Fu Yun was really slippery.
Seeing Xinyi's expression, Yan Junchu smiled, "Don't worry, the fox's tail will always show up, we have to keep calm."
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Su Xinyi said in a low voice. It was not convenient at the banquet. The two of them couldn't talk face to face.
Yan Junchu nodded and stopped talking. Just then, Prince Rong came over and sat down next to the prince. He wailed, "Brother, my life is so miserable."
Su Xinyi almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Prince Rong glared at Su Xinyi. What does this mean?
Su Xinyi swallowed the tea in his mouth, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his lips, and said slowly, "Seventh brother, Miss Zhu and I are good friends. I know her pure nature. Such a good girl followed you, you must treat her well."
"Speak nicely!" Prince Rong trembled all over and got goose bumps.
Su Xinyi put away the smile on her face and said seriously: "Seventh brother, generally speaking, I am a fair and just person. Since you have agreed to this marriage, you should treat her well. If you do something against the rules, don't blame me, the eldest sister-in-law, for supporting your sister-in-law."
Prince Rong:...
Why did he come here!
Prince Rong stood up with a dark face and left. After two steps, he was still not convinced. He turned around and looked at Su Xinyi and wanted to say something. Seeing the look in his eldest brother's eyes, he was silent, took a deep breath, and decided to leave.
He couldn't beat either of the couple.
One couldn't beat him, and the other couldn't talk.
Prince Rong wondered how he could live like this. He used to be so free and unrestrained. Since he met Su Xinyi, his life has been getting worse and worse.
The listener was sad, and the listener cried.
Today is the Qixi Festival. After the banquet, His Majesty left first, and several other ministers followed His Majesty to leave. Yan Junchu and several younger brothers stayed. The Queen smiled and invited several ladies to the side hall for tea. Yan Junchu took Su Xinyi's hand and left, leaving several fiancés who were about to get married to talk.
Su Xinyi did not leave Yuanhui Palace with the prince. They found a secluded place. The two sat and drank tea, and then went back on time.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to Zichen Hall?" Su Xinyi took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
Yan Junchu looked up at Xinyi and smiled, "My father asked me to stay, isn't it to accompany you? Today is Qixi Festival."
Su Xinyi: ...
I always feel that Your Highness is getting more and more naughty.
After letting Lianqiao and Cuiqiao guard around, Su Xinyi looked at His Highness and whispered, "Your Highness, I think something is wrong between Prince Xiang and Miss You. In an occasion like today, it is reasonable to at least pretend to be nice."
This marriage was too bad, Prince Xiang felt very wronged, and You Xiangru did not achieve what she wished for, but in front of His Majesty, regardless of Prince Xiang's behavior, with You Xiangru's methods, it was not easy to ignore Prince Xiang.
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, "Pretending? What else can they do with each other? This marriage is not what they want, so if they act like they are in love with each other in a short period of time, there will be a problem."
Su Xinyi couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this, "I was wrong when I asked you to tell me this. The acting skills of these two are getting better and better."
Yan Junchu looked at Xin Yi and reminded her, "There is Grand Master Li behind Concubine Li. With Grand Master Li here, Prince Xiang may not be able to turn around. This marriage is becoming more and more unbearable now. If he and You Xiangzhe really can't become a loving couple in a few days, I'm afraid the Li family will take action by then, or everything we do now is to prepare for the future. "
Su Xinyi was shocked. Hearing what His Highness meant, Concubine Li and the Li family did not dare to disobey the imperial edict, but they could find another way. If You Xiangzhe always made mistakes after getting married and refused to live with King Xiang, then if King Xiang and Marrying another person is still possible as long as Taishi Li plans well.
Su Xinyi had never thought about this, nor did he expect that His Highness would be so aware that he could get a glimpse of the Li family's meaning from just these small things.
Looking at Xin Yi's thoughtful look, Yan Junchu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Li family may not be able to succeed in this matter."
Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, do you have any countermeasures?"
Yan Junchu said: "It's not really a countermeasure. I just guessed that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion would definitely not let You Xiangzhu get off King Xiang's boat. And looking at You Xiangzhe's current behavior, I'm afraid he might have something in mind."
"Your Highness's words make some sense. After all, not every woman has the courage to do something like meeting her father by chance, and she can do it extremely naturally. This courage is better than ordinary people." Su Xinyi recalled that she was in Zhuangzi In the heavy rain, You Xiangzhi took every step without making any mistakes. Even she did not think of her intentions until later.
"We just have to wait and see what happens on this matter."
"That's what His Highness said."
Sit back and wait for dog to bite dog.
The two sat for half an hour and then returned to the main hall. Looking at the clearly divided camps in the main hall, Su Xinyi twitched the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't show it on her face. She just smiled and asked the palace attendant to bring tea.
Fortunately, the queen came with all the ladies at this time. The ladies took their children and left the palace. Su Xinyi and the prince naturally took the opportunity to leave.
The queen left King Rong behind, looked at him and said: "I think Miss Zhu is very good. Your father and I are very satisfied with this marriage. You should also learn from your elder brother and make an appointment with Miss Zhu to go shopping another day." shop."
King Rong looked shocked and immediately said: "I am so busy, how can I have time?"
The Queen was not angry at all and looked at her son with a smile, "I know that the Crown Princess and Miss Zhu are in love with each other. If the Crown Princess knows that you are so dissatisfied with this marriage..."
