357: Setting a Trap for Su Xinyi in Front of His Majesty

Li Guifei was not as domineering as before today. She seemed to have returned to the humble and low-key Li Guifei that everyone praised. Even her expression towards Su Xinyi was much gentler.

Su Xinyi felt that it was not good. Such a Li Guifei was not easy to deal with.

Ruan Mingfei was obviously a little restless, especially today when Li Guifei kept talking to her. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

The queen sat at the top and glanced at Li Guifei. There was a trace of disgust in the depths of her eyes that was not easily noticed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Concubine. The prince of Xiang will get married soon. You should pay more attention to the things in the prince of Xiang's mansion during this period. I heard that Fu Yi Niang, who was sent to the manor, was brought back. Is this true?"

Li Guifei's expression did not change. After hearing the queen's words, she turned her head and smiled and said softly, "To answer the queen's words, Fu Yun went to the manor to take a breath because of her poor health. Now she is brought back because she is almost recovered. In the end, she saved the prince of Xiang's life, which is different from ordinary people."

When Fu Yun was taken as a concubine, His Majesty did not say anything, so Concubine Li was naturally not afraid of the queen's embarrassment.

Fu Yun was able to gain a foothold in the prince of Xiang's mansion because of the life-saving grace. How much Concubine Li hated these words at the beginning, and now she feels that the weight of these words is as heavy as possible.

Su Xinyi just found it funny. Concubine Li wanted to kill Fu Yun at first, but now she took the initiative to mention the grace of saving her life. She just wanted Fu Yun to return to the palace to compete with You Xiangru.

However, Fu Yun was really powerful. She didn't get dragged down by the matter of Yuling Temple before, and now she returned to the Prince of Xiang's Palace by taking advantage of the matter of You Xiangru.

When it comes to the affairs of the Prince of Xiang's Palace, Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming are both silent and never get involved easily. Su Xinyi, the Crown Princess, naturally followed suit and acted as a mascot with a smile on her face.

However, Su Xinyi's non-interference did not mean that Concubine Li would let it go easily.

"Speaking of which, Miss You and the Crown Princess are also relatives, and they will be a family in the future. Miss You doesn't understand the rules of the palace, and the Crown Princess has to give her some advice." Concubine Li looked at Su Xinyi and smiled sincerely, "After all, you are all young people, and some things are easy to say."

As soon as these words came out, the palace was quiet for a moment.

The queen glanced at Concubine Li with displeasure, but did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked at Su Xinyi to see how she would respond. After all, with Su Xinyi's personality, she was not one to suffer losses.

Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming did not dare to say anything. They just wanted nothing to do and waited quietly for their son to marry his daughter-in-law. Now that Concubine Li was against the Crown Princess, what could they do? Just don't make trouble.

Su Xinyi looked up at Concubine Li, with no sign of anger on her face. Instead, she spoke more sincerely than Concubine Li, "Speaking of which, Concubine grew up in the capital and has been in the harem for many years, while I have only been back in Kyoto for a few years. Concubine Li probably knows more about the Pei family's affairs than I do. It's not that Your Highness doesn't care about blood ties, but it's really that the Pei family's actions are chilling. Speaking of which, they are not far away from each other, or separated by life and death, but they are such a close relationship. However, Your Highness has not received letters from his family for more than ten years, and he has no contact with them at ordinary times. Don't you think it's funny to talk about blood ties now?"

Even though Concubine Li had experienced Su Xinyi's straight punches, she didn't expect her words to be so unpleasant this time, even bringing up the separation of life and death, and the expression on her face almost couldn't hold back.

Su Xinyi didn't care if Concubine Li was embarrassed. Since she wanted to threaten people with family ties and blood ties, she naturally slapped her back without any hesitation.

Blood ties also have to be mutual. She was so stubborn in her previous life that she would not encounter difficulties and use blood ties to threaten the people of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. She did not give the people of the Duke's Mansion family feelings, so naturally she would not ask them to give her anything.

But people like Concubine Li talk about blood ties all the time, they are not worthy!

Blood ties are fake, and they want to take the opportunity to threaten the East Palace.

"The Crown Princess is still young and energetic. It is impossible to judge the right and wrong of the past. Now that they meet again, there is no knot that cannot be untied as a family." Concubine Li looked at Su Xinyi and said.

She knew what the Crown Prince disliked and what Su Xinyi cared about, so she would not let them feel at ease.

Su Xinyi looked at Concubine Li with an expression of sudden enlightenment, "The Concubine is indeed open-minded. No wonder she brought Concubine Fu back now. It seems that the Concubine is also looking forward to the harmony between the wives and concubines of the King of Xiang. After all, they will be a family in the future."

Fu Yun is like a knife in Concubine Li's heart. Whoever hits her will be hurt. If she didn't hate You Xiangru even more, Fu Yun would never return to the Prince of Xiang's mansion in this life.

Listening to Su Xinyi talking about the harmony between the wives and concubines, it was like punching her in the face.

Concubine Ruan Ming closed her mouth in astonishment. She always felt that the Crown Princess was a little murderous today. It seems that Concubine Li's previous words did annoy the Crown Princess.

Although the matter of You Xiangru was not mentioned openly, everyone still didn't know what the Wu'an Marquis's mansion was thinking at the beginning. This was to send someone to the East Palace without any hope of entering the harem, but in the end, the harem could not enter, and finally the King of Xiang became the unlucky ghost.

Now Concubine Li wants the Crown Princess to consider blood ties. If the Wu'an Marquisate and the You Family had considered their kinship with the Crown Prince, would they have done such a wicked thing?

Concubine Li was clearly trying to slap the East Palace in the face, so it's no surprise that the Crown Princess slapped back.

The queen smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone has their own fate. Family affection cannot be forced, Concubine, don't you think so?"

Concubine Li held her breath, listening to the queen's words that clearly favored Su Xinyi, and suppressed her displeasure. She put on a nonchalant smile on her face and spoke slowly, "What the queen said makes sense. I just said it casually. I didn't expect the crown princess to care so much."

Su Xinyi chuckled, "Concubine, I have always been a serious person. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Okay, stop talking. The new couple will be here soon." The queen glanced at everyone and made a final decision.

Concubine Li really shut up, and Su Xinyi looked at her and the look she gave her made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not long after, the King of Wu brought the Princess of Wu into Yuanhui Palace. The two new couples were dressed up today and knelt in front of the queen to pay their respects. The Princess of Wu also respectfully served tea.

The queen took it, drank a sip, and put it down. She admonished the newlyweds for a few words, and then smiled and asked someone to bring a gift to thank Princess Wu.

The queen looked at the two and said, "Concubine Ruan Ming has raised King Wu. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. Let's serve Concubine Ruan Ming a cup of tea today."

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Obviously, she had not expected such a thing before, and she couldn't help but look at King Wu.

King Wu was also surprised, but then he knew that the queen was giving his mother face, so he immediately knelt down to thank her. Ji Yun was stunned for a moment and knelt down.

The queen waved her hand, "Go."

Another palace servant brought tea, and King Wu took Princess Wu to Concubine Ruan Ming to serve tea. Ji Yun took the tea and knelt down, "Mother, please drink tea."

King Wu was slightly stunned by Ji Yun's actions, and then pursed his lips and said nothing.

Concubine Ruan Ming smiled and took a sip of the tea, and then took out the prepared gift. Although she wanted to say something, she swallowed it back in front of so many people.

At this time, Nanny Zhao came forward and took the Princess of Wu to meet Concubine Li and Concubine Qi one by one, and finally led Su Xinyi here.

Su Xinyi and Ji Yun were of the same generation, so naturally they didn't need to serve tea, but she was the Crown Princess after all, so Ji Yun and the King of Wu still bowed and greeted each other.

Su Xinyi smiled and responded, and then asked someone to take out the gift for Ji Yun.

Ji Yun thanked her and returned to the side of the King of Wu.

Su Xinyi looked at Ji Yun again, but Ji Yun lowered her head slightly, and she really couldn't see anything, but she always felt that the state of the young couple was a little bit wrong.

It was just a little feeling, and she couldn't see anything from the face of the King of Wu, and Ji Yun lowered her head and couldn't see any clues.

At this time, the palace servant reported that the prince had arrived with several princes.

Su Xinyi's eyes looked at the door of the palace, and sure enough, she saw His Highness with King Jing, King Rong, and King Xiang arrived. After entering the palace, they first bowed to the queen, and then greeted several concubines, and then they sat down.

Yan Junchu sat directly next to Su Xinyi, and Su Xinyi couldn't help but turn her head to look at His Highness.

Yan Junchu smiled at her, and Su Xinyi seemed to see spring flowers blooming, and the previous displeasure in her heart was swept away.

Almost everyone present saw the scene of the two smiling at each other. Concubine Li was thoughtful, and Prince Rong rolled his eyes. Who didn't have a wife? Soon he would also marry a wife.

Prince Jing didn't feel anything, and sat directly next to Concubine Qi with a smile on his face.

Su Xinyi felt a hidden look sweeping over her, and she subconsciously looked back, but didn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Yan Junchu saw that Su Xinyi's expression was different, and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Su Xinyi didn't want to say more in front of everyone.

The queen looked at everyone and smiled, "Today is a good day, so stay for dinner." Then the queen asked the palace maid to go to the Purple Palace to invite His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't like to come to the harem recently, and it was not easy to say whether he could come or not.

There was still some time before lunch, and Su Xinyi didn't want to sit here like a wooden stick, so she got up and found Zhao Mama, and went out to take a breath under the pretext of asking about lunch.

Zhao Mama looked at the Crown Princess like this and smiled, "Crown Princess, why don't you go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll? It happens that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here too, it's a rare opportunity to travel together."

Su Xinyi was hesitating when she heard footsteps coming from behind her, and then she heard His Royal Highness speak, "Mama is right, I am usually busy with my errands, but it's rare for me to accompany the Crown Princess for a stroll, why don't we take a walk today?"

Su Xinyi: ...

Zhao Mama smiled and left as soon as she saw her, she didn't want to stay and get in the way.

Yan Junchu watched Zhao Mama leave, and stood in front of Su Xinyi and asked, "Who made you unhappy?"

Su Xinyi said, "Who can make me unhappy?"

"Yes, my Crown Princess is invincible and no one can defeat her."

Su Xinyi:...

Seeing Su Xinyi smile, the Crown Prince said, "Let's go for a walk?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Everyone is here, it's not easy for us to hide, let's go back."

If Prince Rong knew, he would definitely jump up and laugh at her again.

Yan Junchu squeezed Su Xinyi's hand under the cover of his sleeve. Su Xinyi subconsciously looked around and her face turned red.

Yan Junchu was even more happy. Seeing Xinyi put her hand back, he returned to the hall with her side by side.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the voice of Prince Rong coming over, "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Is there anything we can't listen to?"

Su Xinyi didn't indulge Prince Rong, she glanced at him and said directly, "Don't listen to anything inappropriate, Seventh Brother should know it, right? It doesn't matter if you don't know it now, you will know it when you get married."

Humph, let Zhu Chanyi deal with you then!

Prince Rong said, "We are not in the East Palace. What can't we listen to? You are not going to complain about me again, are you?"

Prince Rong and Su Xinyi started to argue. Concubine Li smiled and turned to look at the Queen and said, "Queen, I didn't expect that Prince Rong and the Crown Princess are now on much better terms than before."

The Queen listened to Concubine Li's warm but sarcastic words and smiled without changing her expression, "Prince Rong has always been erratic. Your Majesty and I can't do anything about her. The Crown Prince, the eldest brother, also favors her. There is no choice but to let the Crown Princess control her."

Concubine Li: ...

You are not as good at bragging as you are. A few years ago, the relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Rong was simply incompatible. Why didn't you say that at that time?

On the other side, Su Xinyi and the Crown Prince came in and sat down. Su Xinyi had sharp ears and happened to hear this. She looked at Prince Rong with a smile.

Prince Rong was alarmed. Su Xinyi must be up to no good. She immediately slid to her eldest brother and said seriously, "Brother, I just have something to discuss with you. It's about the inner court. Are you free? Let's talk for a few words, brothers?"

Su Xinyi didn't even bother to roll his eyes. This excuse was really not very good. What kind of things could he manage in the inner court?

Prince Rong happened to look over and caught Su Xinyi rolling his eyes. He was immediately angry, "I really have something important to do. Don't you believe it?"

"Seventh brother, why don't you tell me?" Su Xinyi smiled.

Prince Rong said angrily, "The inner court is now taking over the affairs of the Six Shang Bureaus. Many procurement matters are now in chaos. I went to the south this year. I can really help with this matter."

"Oh, you are really capable now. Why didn't you tell me this?"

The voice of His Majesty came suddenly, and everyone got up to welcome him.

The emperor walked in slowly and glanced at everyone, "Everyone, get up. Today is a family dinner, no need to be polite." After saying that, he looked at Prince Rong and said, "Tell me something. I want to hear what you have to say."

Prince Rong:...

Su Xinyi pursed her lips to hold back her laughter. Let you brag.

Prince Rong rolled his eyes and immediately came to His Majesty and said, "Father, this matter is not just my business. You have to ask my sister-in-law. She knows more than I do."

Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong. He was talking nonsense and didn't tell the truth. How dare he set a trap for her in front of His Majesty?
