King Rong was threatened by his own mother. He was so angry that he kicked the door open, "Who was displeased with Su Xinyi at the beginning? Why are they so affectionate and harmonious now?"
He was so angry!
She is such a dear mother, dear!
Knowing that Su Xinyi really hit him, he actually asked Su Xinyi to deal with him!
If the queen would have been so angry before, she was particularly calm now. She looked at her son and said with a smile: "There is no way, my son is ineffective and useless. As a loving mother, I can't bear to discipline him, so I can only let others take care of him. "
King Rong burst into tears, there was really no way to survive.
During the time he was away from the capital, what kind of incredible food did Su Xinyi give his mother to change her temperament so much?
King Rong decided to ask his mother to divert her attention. He looked at her and said, "Don't keep staring at me. You should also take care of Jones's affairs."
The queen looked at her son and asked, "Did your aunt tell you something?"
Wang Rong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "You told me what happened this time. If you ask me, my cousin was taken advantage of this time..."
"Being used? By whom? Why don't you just say Xu Yurong's name!" The queen's face suddenly darkened, "I told your aunt earlier that you should not mention the past things again, and treat Qiong Si properly in the future. Just find a good family. But look what they did? Who is Xu Yurong? She is the one who broke up with your cousin, and Qiongsi still associates with her. Isn’t this stepping on your cousin’s face? , you have some thoughts in your heart about what happened back then. Liang Ju deserved it, but Xu Yurong dragged your uncle and cousin into the water. With such hatred, Qiongsi still associates with Xu Yurong, and I, as an aunt, am also very sad."
King Rong was stunned for a moment, "That's not what my aunt told me. She said that my cousin was taken advantage of by Xu Yurong."
"Use of what? Didn't the drug enter the hunting ground through her hands? Now that she can return to the Guangping County Prince's Palace, I have tried my best. Jones is no longer the same person. After the marriage with Shang Jun failed, the whole People become extreme and narrow-minded, and they do things without considering the consequences. "The queen used to love this niece very much. She didn't have a daughter, and she really loved her as her own child. Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed her son to protect her like this. Holding her.
But the queen was really disappointed with what happened this time. Didn't Yan Qiongsi know that this matter would be harmful to her as the queen if it was discovered?
But she did it anyway.
The Queen made a promise in front of His Majesty. Yan Qiongsi only brought something to her old friend because of her previous relationship with Xu Yurong. She didn't know what she brought.
The Queen said this, but she felt that His Majesty might not believe it, but His Majesty still asked the Ministry of Punishment to release Yan Qiongsi. Based on this, the Queen could no longer and dare not protect the Guangping County Prince's Mansion, and could no longer protect Yan Qiongsi.
If she doesn't teach her a lesson this time, she may cause even greater trouble next time.
King Rong was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, "What on earth is going on at the hunting ground? How come your words are completely different from what my aunt and cousin said?"
The queen has been busy with palace affairs these days, and has no time to care about her son. She originally wanted to talk to her son about the matter in detail after Chinese Valentine's Day, but she never expected that her sister and niece actually came to her son first and dared to confuse right and wrong!
The queen asked her son to sit down, with a look of helplessness and disappointment on her face, "Listen to me and tell you slowly. I know that you trust and protect your aunt and cousin, but you can't do this anymore."
If this continues, she is afraid that her son will be destroyed.
Between her sister, niece and son, the queen would naturally choose her son first. If her sister and niece were willing to listen to her, how could such a thing happen?
The queen believed that she had done her best and no longer wanted to protect her.
Moreover, if something happened again to His Majesty, she would really have no shame in begging His Majesty to be so arrogant.
Looking at his mother's expression, King Rong knew that things might be different from what he thought. After passing the incident in Zhangping Mansion, he immediately calmed down and listened to his mother's detailed explanation.
Things at the hunting ground were not complicated. On the contrary, they were very simple. The only thing they didn't catch was the master behind the dead man.
However, the queen knew that her majesty and the prince would definitely continue to investigate, and since she was deep in the palace, she could not interfere with external affairs. However, this did not mean that she had to watch her son be dragged into the water by her own sister.
"Is that so?" King Rong was a little sad. He really protected his aunt and cousin with all his heart, but they actually lied to him like this. This made her feel unspeakable loss and sadness.
"You should stay out of the affairs of the Guangping County Prince's Palace from now on. If your aunt and cousin still want to find you, just say that I don't allow you to interfere and let them come to see me directly." The queen was afraid that her son would be soft-hearted, so she directly cut him off. think.
King Rong was silent for a moment, then asked: "Queen mother, is my cousin really innocent?"
The queen also fell silent, and then said after a while: "The queen doesn't know either, but now she must be innocent, otherwise she will implicate us. But what will happen to her in the future? If they listen to advice, life will be easier. If Jones insists on going his own way, in the future You are not allowed to go to the Guangping County Prince's Mansion anymore. You are going to marry a wife and have children of your own in the future. You should think more about your wife and children."
King Rong looked at his mother in shock. He knew how much her mother protected her family, but he didn't expect that in just a few years, her mother would be so disappointed with her family.
The mother's family had broken the mother's heart and made her so sad. As a son, he could not make the mother feel uncomfortable anymore, so he nodded gently, "Don't worry, my son knows how to do it. I'll ask my eldest brother what he should know." ”
The Queen originally wanted to stop him, but suddenly thought of His Majesty, she did not speak.
If the prince knew that his son was innocent and something happened again, he would still be able to speak for him, but she, the queen, would have no shame in going to his majesty to plead for mercy.
The Queen sighed heavily, and Aunt Zhao beside her felt very distressed, "My Lady, Your Majesty is much calmer now. Your Majesty praised His Highness when he came back from an errand this time. You should be happy."
The queen showed a wry smile and said, "Mother Zhao, you don't need to comfort me. You go to the Guangping County Prince's Mansion for me and warn them once. If they don't listen to the advice again, I will never interfere with their affairs in the future. Really. If anything happens, it will be handled by Your Majesty."
Aunt Zhao hurriedly responded, "Old slave, go now. The Princess of Guangping County always listens to your words. Knowing that you really want to let go, she will not dare to do things of her own temper."
The queen sighed, "In order to fight against Concubine Li and the Li family, I tried every means to get my sister to marry the Prince of Guangping County, and I have been protecting her for so many years. Now that I think about it, it was me who did not do things well and slowly raised them. The hearts of mothers and daughters.”
"How can I blame you? You just value family ties too much." Aunt Zhao said hurriedly.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Go ahead and speak more emphatically and don't show mercy."
"Yes." Aunt Zhao sighed inwardly, then turned and walked out.
The queen slowly stood up and walked to the window. The golden crow was already falling in the west, just like the queen, she, was gradually sunset.
Every time she asks His Majesty for something now, she is squandering the little friendship she has left with His Majesty. She can't go on like this. She has to leave some blessings for her son and future grandson.
In the past, she was brave and aggressive, and she was ruthless in everything she did, but now that her son is about to get married, she is a little scared.
Only if she is as stable as a mountain can her son and grandson be blessed. As for her sister's family... the queen lowered her eyes slightly. If she didn't listen to the advice, she would have no choice but to cut off one of her arms.
…
After the Chinese Valentine's Day, the issue of the empty granary was mentioned again in the court. It was delayed again because of the war in Zhangping Mansion, and then the hunting grounds. Now that King Rong has returned to Beijing, there are courtiers. The matter was laid out once again.
Although His Majesty sent people to go south to investigate, the officials sent there did not have much weight and they might not be able to find out the truth.
Now that the old matter is being brought up again, the Ministry of Punishment proposes that the imperial envoys be allowed to go south and that the case must be investigated strictly.
There was an uproar in the court because of this matter. Some people agreed and some opposed, each holding their own opinions and refusing to give in to each other.
Su Xinyi vaguely heard some rumors while she was in the East Palace. She received a letter from her family here. Her second brother had sent back the news. The dead people written in the letter were not ordinary people who could raise them. First, they must have rights, and secondly, they must have financial resources. , there are very few people who meet these two conditions, and the ability to raise dead soldiers without being discovered only shows that the place where they are raised is not in the capital, and no one under His Majesty's eyes has such courage.
Since he is not in the capital, he can only check outside the capital.
When Su Xinyi saw the end of the letter, Su Qi said that his third uncle said that King Yi of Suizhou had a reputation as a virtuous man and asked him to go to Suizhou to see it first.
Su Xinyi frowned slightly, Suizhou?
The previous shopkeeper of Yubaozhai was from Suizhou, but now her second brother has also gone to Suizhou, and she was afraid that the second brother had not received the letter she had sent from her mother's family to Huaining. If the letter was not received, the third uncle and the others asked the second brother to go to Suizhou. state……
Although she didn't write it in the letter, she felt that the elders in her hometown must have discovered some clues, but she was not sure, so it was difficult to mention it in the letter.
Suizhou...King Yi...
King Laoyi is His Majesty's only living brother. The relationship between the other members of the royal family has become increasingly distant over the generations.
The only younger brother was sealed in Suizhou and did not come to Beijing all year round. The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
When the prince returned to the East Palace in the evening, Su Xinyi showed him the family letter. After Yan Junchu read it, he said to Xinyi: "The people sent by my father will arrive in Suizhou soon, and they will also be accompanied by people from the East Palace. I I have told them to take care of the second brother, don’t worry. I originally planned to ask them to send someone to Huaining, but I didn’t expect the second brother to go to Suizhou, but the leader will know how to do it.”
Su Xinyi was slightly relieved and said: "Thanks to Your Highness this time, otherwise I would really not be able to feel at ease. Moreover, I also wrote to the eldest sister and brother-in-law, and they will also take care of it."
Yan Junchu held Xin Yi's hand and said, "Don't worry. The second brother came back from Zhangping Mansion this time. He is no longer the ignorant young master he was in the capital. He knows what he is doing and will only encounter people he may encounter." No matter what the danger is, even if we don’t mention it, you still have to believe what the old Guo Guo Guo said.”
"That's right." Su Xinyi smiled, "Your Highness, you'd better eat first. Are you tired from a busy day today?"
While the two couples were talking, they got up to clean their hands. Grandma She led the others to put the dinner on the table, and then left with the palace guests.
Su Xinyi served His Highness a bowl of corn and pumpkin porridge, plus slices of hibiscus chicken and assorted shark's fins. She smiled and said, "Your Highness, please try the newly learned dishes from the kitchen. It will be ready in two days." I’m eating crabs, and I was told that I wanted to make stuffed crabs, which made me want to eat them.”
Yan Junchu gave Xin Yi some vinegar fish, "If you don't like this the most, just eat it."
The vinegar fish is soft, tender, sour and sweet, and very refreshing. Su Xinyi likes this bite. She can eat a fish by herself.
"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I have to help the Queen to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. However, this time, Concubine Li said that she wanted to help the Queen to share her worries. If Concubine Li comes out, I can have a rest." Su Xinyi said with a smile.
Yan Junchu turned his head to look at Xinyi, "Are you willing to let Concubine Li come out?"
Su Xinyi was happy, "What's there to be willing or not? Now it is your Majesty's harem. Concubine Li is willing to serve the Queen, and that is also fulfilling her duty. I, the Crown Princess, am just following my father's order to follow the Queen to learn how to manage things. It's still different."
Su Xinyi made it clear that if the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, this matter would really depend on whether she was willing or not. Now, it is not her turn.
Yan Junchu was immediately amused. A Yuan was always very clear about this. He looked at her and said softly, "Because of the matter of the King of Xiang, Concubine Li has recently annoyed the emperor, so she wants to please the emperor again and help with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. It's just her trick. You really don't have to take it to heart."
Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be the marriage of the King of Wu. There will be a lot of work to do later. It would be great if Concubine Li could be tactful and help the queen with her worries."
Yan Junchu was instantly amused, "You are really generous."
Su Xinyi also laughed. It was not her territory, not her job, so why couldn't she be generous.
If the incident happened in the East Palace, let's see if she is generous.
Thinking of this, Su Xinyi was stunned. Did she think like this now?
Evidently, before she married in, she was determined to be a good wife.
Yan Junchu put some food on the plate in front of Xinyi. Seeing that she looked a little strange, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Su Xinyi hurriedly shook her head, "Nothing, I just thought that if Concubine Li was willing to help, I could take the opportunity to get out. There are a lot of things to do in the East Palace, so let me take a break."
Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi and always felt that what she said was not what she thought. Could it be that someone was embarrassing her?
Thinking about it, Yan Junchu couldn't think of who was so blind at first, but he kept it in mind and would ask Madam She.
After the two finished their meal, Yan Junchu was about to take Xinyi out to digest the food, when he saw Yang Jin hurried over, looking a little serious, and didn't know what happened.
