345: Excuse Me
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Nowadays, the capital city is extremely lively. Several princes are getting married one after another, and people shopping everywhere are so busy that they don’t even put their feet on the ground. The entire capital was caught up in the carnival of several princes getting married, happy events one after another, and wedding wine one after another.
It seems that the incident in Zhangping Mansion has become a thing of the past, and few people will mention it anymore. Moreover, with the marriage of Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhe, no one will say anything that should not be said in public anymore. The appearance of peace and prosperity.
Su Xinyi had keenly felt that there was a hand behind her back guiding all of this. When His Highness came back, she asked her question, and Yan Junchu smiled.
"The matter of the dead soldiers cannot attract other people's attention, so the matter of the hunting ground must be suppressed. Besides, after all, Prince Xiang is the son of his father."
After listening to Yan Junchu's words, Su Xinyi understood, but she didn't feel it was inappropriate. Just because the hunting ground incident was suppressed, it didn't mean it never happened.
The selection of several princesses is also worthy of scrutiny. Princess Jing is a girl from the Tu family. At the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, Mrs. Tu and her daughter did not stand out in the slightest. Even the presence of mother and daughter during the entire banquet was very weak, but this incident People outside the banquet didn't know about it. They only knew that the Tu family and the Duke of Qi were related by marriage. As a result, His Majesty has now designated the Tu family's daughter as Princess Jing.
In addition to Princess Jing, the selection of Princess Rong was even more surprising. No one expected that Zhu Chanyi would become Princess Rong. The relationship between this person and the Crown Princess was unknown to everyone in the capital.
So, what does your Majesty mean?
Two of the four princesses are related to the crown prince, which has to be thought-provoking.
At this time, a princess was born in the Tu family, but Mrs. Tu was not very happy, but instead frowned.
After Lord Tu left the office, she went to the front yard. She kept thinking about it these days and couldn't settle down.
As soon as Tu Jian returned home, he saw his wife coming over in a hurry. He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master, it's not because of Jingjia's marriage that I've been feeling panicked." Mrs. Tu sat across from her husband and said slowly, her eyebrows showing light marks in just a short period of time.
Tu Jian knew what his wife was worried about, so he looked at her and said: "Our Tu family does not form factions and is only loyal to the emperor. Jingjia is married to King Jing, as long as she stays true to her heart."
"But, after all, the third daughter-in-law is from the Duke of Qi's palace. We just stand upright. I'm afraid others won't think so." Mrs. Tu is not worried about anything else. She is afraid of hurting her husband. The whole family depends on him. Woolen cloth.
Tu Jian gave a rare smile and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been upright. Although Prince Jing's temperament is too straightforward, he is also a smart man. You see, when Prince Rong and the Crown Prince were at odds in the past, or now, Prince Xiang and the Crown Prince are at odds with each other. His Highness Prince Jing can It’s not mixed up, so don’t worry.”
King Jing and King Wu are both smart people. Their mothers and concubines were somewhat favored in the early years. In the past ten years, they were granted the title of concubine because of the birth of children, but there were no more others, so Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Qi Xian were Concubine Ruan Ming has always been peaceful.
The son born between the two of them also resembles his mother. After all, King Wu and King Jing are really just sons in front of His Majesty. It is not like King Xiang has a favored concubine Li Guifei, nor is it like King Rong's biological mother is the queen. , let alone the prince's weight in front of His Majesty.
Therefore, the two princes have never caused trouble for so many years. Although Tu Jian was not very willing to marry his daughter to King Jing, he could not resist the decree. Fortunately, King Jing was quite calm in his work.
"What if the Crown Princess wins over Jing Jia after she marries her?" Mrs. Tu sighed and said, "To be honest, I really have no dissatisfaction with the Crown Princess, otherwise I wouldn't have decided to marry the third child to the Qi family in the first place. . But, marrying into the royal family, the water is very deep, I am afraid of my daughter..."
When Tu Jian heard this, he looked at his wife and suddenly became happy, "I think your worries are unfounded. With the temperament of the Crown Princess, she would not do anything to take advantage of Jingjia. You see, Prince Rong has been dealt with by the Crown Princess several times before. , but look at the relationship between the Queen and the Crown Princess now? "
Mrs. Butcher thought thoughtfully after hearing her husband's words, "What the master means is..."
"Everything is handled by King Rong. There is no need for us, Jingjia, to get involved. Besides, the Crown Princess has a good relationship with the third daughter-in-law. Even for this little bit of affection, it won't be difficult for Jingjia." Tu Jian He looked at his old wife and said, "You are always good to the third child's family. The third child's family knows what's going on. Don't worry about your daughter's affairs."
After hearing this, Mrs. Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not that I am a villain, but I have never thought about marrying my daughter into the royal family, so I have never been taught any rules or knowledge. Now I have asked Mrs. Gao to help me." I hired a nanny to teach my daughter. I’m afraid that the child’s life is too short. If something goes wrong unknowingly when she gets married, wouldn’t that lead to trouble?”
Tu Jian patted his wife's hand. They only had a daughter, so it was inevitable that his wife would be worried.
"Look, you also asked Mrs. Gao for help. Mrs. Gao is willing to do her best to help. Isn't it because we are related to the Duke of Qi by marriage?" Tu Jian looked at his wife and slowly explained, "Some things are hidden. You can’t hide, just do things openly and honestly. You did well in the past, and you will continue to do so in the future.”
Mrs. Tu was amused by her husband, and she sighed for a while and said: "That's what you said, but you are right, sir. People are always close and distant. No matter how close Jingjia is to her third sister-in-law, if something happens to her, I'm afraid it will be... With her temperament, she will also side with the Crown Princess."
"As long as the Crown Princess does the right thing, Jingjia's support is right, don't think too much about other things." Tu Jian said.
Madam Tu understood, "Master is right, I think too much. However, the Crown Princess has always used force to subdue people, and she can't be criticized for her mistakes. She is also a powerful person."
"Su Chun was so obedient and arrogant back then. You can see that everyone in the Duke of Qi's mansion has an honest face, but the Fourth Master Su is an outlier. No matter who he offended in the capital, he could get away in the end. I think the Crown Princess is very much like her father."
"Master is right. The Queen didn't like the Crown Princess at the beginning, but who would have thought that she would support her everywhere now." Madam Tu didn't know how it turned out like this, but because of the result, her husband's words made her more convinced.
"Tell Jingjia to keep her relationship with the Crown Princess as usual. Don't be too close. If something really happens, her words and actions will be beneficial to the Crown Princess."
Mrs. Tu glanced at her master. He had said as usual before, but now he meant to be closer to the Qi family.
Tu Jian coughed lightly, "I have been an honest and upright official all my life. Although I disdain to seek a future through marriage, proper in-laws should also help each other, not to mention that the Qiguogong Mansion has always been fair in doing things."
Mrs. Tu was angry and laughed, "I know, don't worry, Master, I know what to do."
Mrs. Tu left her husband's study and sighed softly on the way back to the yard. What she was most worried about was whether her daughter could be happy and have a good end. Her thoughts were a little different from those of men.
However, what her husband said made sense. Real in-laws should help each other.
Their family did not expect to get any benefits from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the husband said that he was upright and naturally not afraid of other things.
…
Su Xinyi has been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet by the Queen these days. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is much grander than the Qixi family banquet and second only to the New Year banquet.
Prince Rong’s marriage will have to wait until the end, and the Queen will personally take care of it, so now he is an idle person, and the prince has also conscripted him to be a soldier, and he is always around to find something to do.
Prince Rong didn’t want to be so diligent, and he was not the prince, so he went to complain to His Majesty, but he almost got his butt broken, and jumped out of the Purple Palace.
Su Xinyi was in Yuanhui Palace. When the queen found out, she slammed the table in anger and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Look at what he has become. He has no ambition at all. He will have a family and a career in the future, but he doesn't care about his face."
Su Xinyi smiled. She couldn't complain about Prince Rong in front of the queen, so she just said, "Seventh brother is thinking about getting married soon, and he will be an adult after marriage, so he is so jumpy before the marriage. Don't worry, mother, it will be fine after the marriage."
"When you get married, you will have a wife to take care of you, and then I won't have to worry about it." The queen said bitterly, thinking of Zhu Chanyi's temperament, the queen was very satisfied at this moment.
With the character of her son, if he really married a soft lady, he would make a big fuss. He really needs to find a strong one to take care of him.
Thinking of this, the queen remembered that if she had been stricter with her brother and sister, there would be no more troubles in the future.
She also remembered that she had called her sister into the palace a few days ago to talk to her about Qiong Si. Her intention was to find a suitable marriage for Qiong Si as soon as possible, so that she could settle down after she got married and had her own children.
But she didn't expect that her sister not only could not understand her good intentions, but blamed her for doing nothing.
Thinking of these, the queen was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys ached. Didn't she love Qiong Si enough?
The queen was hurt and simply ignored it.
She now understood that Qiong Si would not marry as long as Shang Junyan did not marry. Did her sister still want her to force Shang Junyan to marry?
Although she was the queen, she couldn't do such a bullying thing. It wasn't that Shang Junyan and Qiong Si were willing to be together and then Shang Junyan transferred his feelings. The two had little intersection before. Shang Junyan had no other thoughts about Qiong Si. If she forced Shang Junyan to marry Qiong Si, would her sister dislike that she, the queen, was sitting too comfortably?
The Queen has been very upset these days because of this matter, and she has not been able to think much about the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. Fortunately, Concubine Li wants to gain favor in front of His Majesty and takes the initiative to share her worries. In addition, Su Xinyi helps her sort out the matters of the princes' marriages, which allows her to relax.
"We have to arrange the marriage of the King of Wu first, and we still need to ask Concubine Ruan Ming's opinion." The Queen looked at Su Xinyi and suppressed her irritation and slowly spoke, "You used to be unfamiliar with the concubines in the harem, so this time you can take this opportunity to get to know them."
Su Xinyi looked at the Queen in surprise, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Mother, this is not necessary, right?"
"Why not?" The Queen frowned slightly and looked at Su Xinyi, "I know you are impatient with these things, but you are the Crown Princess, and you will always assist the Crown Prince in the future, and you will inevitably interact with everyone in the future."
Su Xinyi did not expect the Queen to say such a thing, which was quite unexpected. She thought for a while and said; "I know what the Queen Mother meant, but..."
She was worried that His Majesty would think too much. She could not see what His Majesty was thinking from beginning to end about You Xiangru's matter this time, but when You Xiangru broke the cup at the summer banquet, His Majesty looked at her with a lingering fear when she thought about it now.
Su Xinyi couldn't guess what that look meant, but she knew there must be something she didn't understand.
But what was the result?
As soon as the incident at the hunting ground came out, the way His Majesty looked at Prince Xiang and You Xiangzhe that day was different. Now that You Xiangzhe was going to marry Prince Xiang, she didn't understand what His Majesty meant by this.
Therefore, Su Xinyi is very cautious when it comes to the marriages of several princes.
The queen heard Su Xinyi's unfinished intention, and she said slowly: "There are always things in this world that must be done sooner or later. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Su Xinyi was thoughtful after listening to the queen. Does the queen refer to Concubine Li and her son?
She couldn't let them compete with each other, so she had to do this.
Su Xinyi left Yuanhui Palace, and after thinking about it, she had better ask someone to ask Concubine Ruan Ming first, so that it would not be convenient for her to visit.
She is not a queen, so there is no place in the harem that she cannot go to. She is now the crown prince, and Concubine Ruan Ming is also her elder, so she must be polite.
Forsythia came back quickly and said with a smile: "Ming Fei, please invite the Crown Princess to come over and talk."
Su Xinyi nodded and then walked to Chuanze Palace.
This is her first time to Chunze Palace. Chunze Palace is different from the empress's Yuanhui Palace in splendor and grandeur, and it is not as gorgeous as Li Guifei's Zhaoyu Palace. However, there is another kind of elegance here with winding paths.
The stewardess next to Concubine Ruan Ming came out to welcome her, saluted the Crown Princess, and said with a smile: "Prince Princess, please come with me."
Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, followed the steward into the main hall, walked around the four one-year-old floor-to-ceiling screens, and saw Concubine Ruan Ming sitting on the soft couch near the window. She stepped forward to greet her, "Have you seen me before?" Concubine Ming.”
Concubine Ruan Ming stood up and said with a smile: "Princess, please sit down."
Su Xinyi noticed that although Concubine Ruan Ming was smiling, her eyebrows were a bit nervous. Is she so scary?
Su Xinyi sat down, looked at Concubine Ruan Ming and said directly: "I have taken the liberty to disturb Concubine Ming today. It is because of the Queen's order that I come to inquire about the marriage of His Highness King Wu. It is sudden, so please don't blame Concubine Ming."
Concubine Ruan Ming was stunned for a moment, then realized that the queen actually asked the crown princess to preside over her son's wedding?
Ruan Mingfei didn't know what expression she should put on at this moment, she just felt that smiling was uglier than crying.
