Once the Crown Prince Joins In

371: There Is Nothing to Say to a Madman

Shang Junyan paused, looked carefully, and found that the figure was somewhat familiar.

The person standing in front of the door seemed to notice something, and slowly turned around. Under the faint night, he suddenly smiled, "Shang Junyan, you are back."

Yan Qiongsi!

Shang Junyan really didn't want to see this person at all. Thinking of all the bad things that happened to him, almost all of them were related to her. She didn't know how deeply Yan Qiongsi intervened in them, but after seeing some of Yan Qiongsi's true nature in this life, he vaguely understood that Su Xinyi lived so miserably in his family in the previous life, and it must have been her handiwork.

He had never loved anyone, and didn't know why love could make people so crazy.

He didn't know what made Yan Qiongsi like him, so that she would endure and wait for him to marry a wife and then divorce her to marry her.

He didn't think of marrying Su Xinyi and then divorcing her. Even if they hated each other later, he didn't think of divorcing his wife.

Before he could help Prince Rong gain a foothold and before he had time to have a good talk with Su Xinyi, Su Xinyi burned everything down with a fire.

After he was reborn, he initially believed that the matter had nothing to do with Yan Qiongsi, and there was really not much contact between the two of them. However, as Yan Qiongsi continued to force marriage, Shang Junyan saw her true face and wanted to retreat.

He couldn't afford the love of Yan Qiongsi.

The price was too high.

"Princess Runyi, why are you here?" Shang Junyan's expression was cold, and he even took a few steps back to keep his distance.

Yan Qiongsi turned her head slightly and looked at Shang Junyan, "I just wanted to see you."

Shang Junyan felt that Yan Qiongsi was crazy now, and said directly: "I don't have any feelings for the princess, so it's worth the princess to come and visit. It's getting dark, the princess should go back early."

"Shang Junyan, what are you afraid of?" Yan Qiongsi smiled and took a step forward, "I won't force you to marry me, I just came to see you, is this not okay?"

Shang Junyan frowned even more tightly, and he really couldn't talk normally to a madman.

He turned around and left. Yan Qiongsi was nothing, but Yan Qiongsi had Prince Rong behind him, and Prince Rong had the queen behind him. Shang Junyan didn't want to confront them.

Looking at Shang Junyan's back, Yan Qiongsi actually raised his feet to chase him, and asked him with a smile, "Why are you running? Can I still eat you? Shang Junyan, don't you even want to talk to me now?"

Shang Junyan quickened his pace and went straight to Prince Rong's mansion.

He had no choice but to let Prince Rong handle it.

Yan Qiongsi actually followed Shang Junyan to Prince Rong's mansion. The gatekeeper of Prince Rong's mansion was a little surprised to see Shang Junyan and Yan Qiongsi come together. When he saw Shang Junyan's cold face and his expression of avoiding suspicion, and then saw Princess Runyi's smiling face, he was a little scared for a while.

The gatekeeper saw that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to drive people away, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite the prince.

Prince Rong came back from the East Palace, and then changed his clothes to finish his meal. After hearing the news from the gatekeeper, he couldn't recover for a while, and rushed to the door immediately after he came to his senses.

Prince Rong went out with a dark face, and saw that Shang Junyan's eyes lit up the moment he saw him. Prince Rong's heart was choked, and suddenly he felt that Shang Junyan was not easy either.

"What's the matter?" Prince Rong frowned and asked the two of them.

Yan Qiongsi spoke before Shang Junyan: "Cousin, nothing happened, I was just walking around, and I didn't expect to meet Lord Shang."

Prince Rong is not the same as before. He looked at Yan Qiongsi suspiciously, then turned to look at Shang Junyan, "Lord Shang, what's going on?"

He used to have a good relationship with Shang Junyan, but Shang Junyan refused to marry Yan Qiongsi, and the two families had an unpleasant quarrel, so he and Shang Junyan became more distant.

This time, because of the investigation in the south, he walked more.

Who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he turned around.

Shang Junyan didn't care what Prince Rong thought, and said directly: "When I returned home, I saw Princess Runyi standing outside my house. And I kept talking, not trying to avoid suspicion. I really didn't want to ruin the princess's reputation, so I had to come to the prince for help."

Prince Rong:...

Prince Rong looked at Yan Qiongsi, "Why are you running out so late instead of staying at home?"

Yan Qiongsi was not afraid of her cousin, and still smiled and said: "Cousin, I was just bored in the mansion, so I came out for a walk, but I didn't expect to walk to the outside of Lord Shang's house. Look, are we really destined to meet? We can even meet like this."

Prince Rong rarely looked at Yan Qiongsi with a stern face, "I thought you had figured it out, but now it seems that I still overestimated you. I'll tell you the truth, it's impossible for you and Shang Junyan. Last time, my mother asked about your marriage. I will go to my aunt and ask her to find a good family for you to marry into. "

When Yan Qiongsi heard this, the smile on her face slowly faded, "Cousin, I am your cousin, why are you standing on the side of others to scold me? Shang Junyan has not married yet, right?"

Shang Junyan's face darkened when he heard this. For the first time, he stared at Yan Qiongsi with a bit of hostility in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Runyi should think about what you say in the future. I remember that your father's job in the past few years was not satisfactory."

Yan Qiongsi was stunned, looked up at Shang Junyan, and then put on a smile again, "What does Lord Shang mean? I don't understand these."

"It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't understand now. As long as the princess acts the same, I think the princess will understand what I mean soon." Shang Junyan didn't plan to continue hiding from Yan Qiongsi. Since there was no way to avoid it, he would face it directly.

Yan Qiongsi is not Su Xinyi. He feels guilty towards Su Xinyi, but not towards Yan Qiongsi.

Prince Rong frowned and looked at Shang Junyan, wanting to say something, but thinking about Yan Qiongsi's actions, he swallowed it hard and had no intention of helping.

Shang Junyan looked at Prince Rong's attitude at this time and felt relieved. He was right to come. He had not misjudged people in his previous life. The prince still knew right from wrong.

"Prince, I have something else to do, so I will leave first." Since Shang Junyan didn't want to waste time, he had to make some necessary preparations.

He was really tired of Yan Qiongsi's entanglement.

Prince Rong did not keep Shang Junyan. How could he have the face to reprimand others? After Shang Junyan left, Prince Rong looked at Yan Qiongsi, "Cousin, I have one last piece of advice for you. You and Shang Junyan were not arranged by a matchmaker or your parents. If he is not happy with this marriage, you should quit while you are ahead. Now Shang Junyan is highly regarded by the emperor, and he is not someone you can treat casually. Don't let your willfulness implicate the Prince of Guangping. Think about it carefully."

Prince Rong looked at Chen Shansheng and waved, "Send Princess Runyi back home, and be sure to tell the Prince of Guangping and his wife what happened just now."

Chen Shansheng nodded, "Your subordinate As you command. "

Yan Qiongsi's face changed again and again, and she looked at King Rong and said angrily: "Cousin, how can you treat me like this? Didn't you say you would help me before?"

"That has to be mutual!" King Rong scolded, "You'd better stop while you're ahead, otherwise I can't save you." Fearing that Yan Qiongsi would not listen, King Rong looked at her and said, "The Shu family can become commoners, and the mother didn't lend a hand to save them. If you insist on treating Shang Junyan like this, as long as the evidence is solid, the mother will not ignore justice and help you. Think about it carefully. "

Rong Wang really didn't know what else to say, and he returned to the mansion with a flick of his sleeves.

After returning, he still felt very angry. How could he be like this? How could he be so willful.

Obviously, my cousin was not like this before.

But he also knew that what he said was just to scare her, and Yan Qiongsi didn't really do anything. At most, she went to Shang Junyan's house to see him. What a big deal?

But it was because of such behavior that people were more uncomfortable.

Prince Rong thought that he couldn't wait until his sixth brother got married, and he had to let Shang Junyan go south quickly, otherwise who knows what Yan Qiongsi will do again.

Thinking of this, Prince Rong couldn't sit still anymore, and got up and went to the East Palace again. To be honest, he really couldn't make the decision on such a matter, and he couldn't do it by throwing a tantrum in front of his father.

Still have to ask the eldest brother to find a way. The eldest brother is so powerful, there must be a way.

Su Xinyi knew about this matter the next day, and it was the prince who mentioned it during breakfast.

Su Xinyi didn't know what to say. What exactly is Yan Qiongsi obsessed with Shang Junyan?

Talent? Appearance? Family background?

If you compare like this, there are people who are more powerful than Shang Junyan, why are you staring at him and pulling him hard.

If it's love, at least there should be a response, right?

Whether in the previous life or this life, Yan Qiongsi is unrequited love.

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out, but she wouldn't dwell on it. After all, no matter how much trouble Yan Qiongsi made, it had nothing to do with her, because she had already drawn a clear line with Shang Junyan in this life.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi looked at the prince and asked, "Your Highness, what advice did you give to Prince Rong?"

Yan Junchu saw that Su Xinyi didn't take this matter to heart, smiled lightly, and then said, "I also think it's a good thing to go south as soon as possible. After all, Fengpingwei needs to investigate secretly as soon as possible. As for Yan Qiongsi, it's the father's fault for not raising and educating him. I will report to my father and let the Prince of Guangping stay at home and have a good rest recently."

The Prince of Guangping was not a capable person. When he married the Queen's sister, he had the Queen's help. In addition, the Prince of Guangping himself was also motivated, so he was able to stabilize his footing in the capital. Otherwise, the idle royal family would only be able to receive a salary and live a leisurely life.

If it was before, Yan Junchu would definitely not alarm His Majesty, but now Shang Junyan is an imperial envoy. Although this imperial envoy is just a tiger skin in the eyes of the court officials and has no real political achievements, he is appointed by the emperor, which is different.

"This is a good idea." Su Xinyi thought it was very good. "Yan Qiongsi dared to act so recklessly because he relied on his family and the queen. Now that His Majesty has spoken, he will probably be more honest."

Even the queen is afraid that she will be angry again. None of her family members are worry-free, and they are all stubborn, thinking that they can reach the sky and pick the stars with wings.

Yan Junchu listened to Su Xinyi's slightly sarcastic tone and looked at her sideways, "You seem to hate Princess Runyi."

"Yes, the grudge between her and me is really innocent." Su Xinyi said this with even more sarcasm, "I think Shang Junyan is a treasure, so I think everyone in the world thinks he is a treasure. It's a pity that he has a bad eye at such a young age."

Yan Junchu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea. He thought it made sense and it was indeed a pity.

Su Xinyi was going to meet her family today and was in a very good mood. When she sent the prince out, the prince asked her, "Keep your family for lunch at noon, maybe I can come back in time."

Su Xinyi was happy, "Your Highness, please do your thing. If you want to come back, I'm afraid my family will be constrained and can't eat well. I'm glad you have this intention. I will convey it."

Yan Junchu shook his head helplessly, but he also knew that Xinyi was telling the truth, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to add a few dishes, which is also my intention."

Su Xinyi was filled with joy when she heard that His Royal Highness treated her family so considerately. "Thank you very much, Your Highness."

Yan Junchu squeezed Xinyi's hand. "Go back. I'm leaving."

Su Xinyi nodded and watched Zhang Jian walk away behind His Royal Highness. She did not return to the palace, but took Madam She to take a slow walk in the East Palace.

Madam She followed her and said as she walked: "I have almost handed over the tasks at Yuanhui Palace. If there is anything at the Inner Court, I will report directly to Yuanhui Palace. In addition, Madam Zhao also told me that the Queen asked the Inner Court to find the best blood swallows for you. There are still some tributes from last year, but the quality is not good. You are not pregnant now, so you can use them when they are sent to the palace later."

"Thank you, Queen." Su Xinyi did not expect that the Queen would do such a thing. It was quite unexpected.

"Your Royal Highness and you are supporting Prince Rong so much now. The Queen knows it very well." Madam She said.

Su Xinyi nodded, it was a pity. Prince Rong's personality was not like the queen who was thoughtful. If he was half as thoughtful as the queen, he might really become a strong rival for His Highness.

"There are many invitations sent to the East Palace, and I rejected them all as you wish. Since you are pregnant and in the limelight, you should be cautious in everything."

"That's right, Mammy." Su Xinyi nodded. She didn't mean to show off.

Others kept saying that she was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the emperor, but the child was not born yet, so how could she know whether it was a boy or a girl? If she really acted arrogantly as the mother of the eldest grandson of the emperor, and gave birth to a granddaughter, she would become a laughing stock.

To be honest, Xinyi didn't have any strict requirements for having a boy or a girl. Besides, she couldn't choose such a thing. Whether it was a boy or a girl, they were her and His Highness's children, and she liked them all.

But from the perspective of the overall situation of the court and the position of His Highness the Crown Prince, it would be better to have a son first.

Several other princes will get married this year. If the eldest grandson is born from another princess' belly, she and the prince don't care, but those stubborn ministers in the court may have some ideas. In short, these factors must be considered.

In this position, pregnancy cannot be treated as a family matter. The meaning is still a lot of court politics.

Nanny She told her these things obscurely because she was afraid that she didn't understand or didn't care. In fact, how could Su Xinyi not understand? She just really didn't mind having a daughter first, and His Highness didn't care.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Nanny She asked the Crown Princess to go back, and then said to her: "Crown Princess, go back and rest first, and the old servant will go to greet the two ladies."

Su Xinyi went back to Deyang Palace first. Cuique and Lianqiao were taking the palace people to clean up the things in the palace. There were messengers from the Imperial Hospital. Everything that was not good for pregnant women had to be put away. The incense in the palace, the incense in the tent, and the clothes that had been fumigated with spices in the past had to be put away and replaced with new ones.

With this change, the entire Deyang Palace has changed a lot, and it looks quite fresh.

The first lady and the fourth lady came very quickly, and Su Xinyi went out to greet them when she heard the noise.

After welcoming them into the palace and sitting down, the fourth lady saw that Xinyi looked good, and her smile deepened.

The first lady first conveyed the family's concern for her, and then said that the old lady wanted to visit but was persuaded.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Grandma just wanted to save my face, but as a younger generation, you still have to take care of the health of the elders. You did the right thing, aunt."

The first lady smiled and said, "I knew you would think so. How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing the first lady ask this, the fourth lady also looked at her daughter nervously. Although she herself had never given birth to a child, she had seen the appearance of pregnant women, and it was indeed very hard.

"It's pretty good, and it doesn't hurt my mouth. Every day, the food is very delicious. The imperial physician said that I can't eat too much. Now Madam She and the others are staring at my rice bowl."

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.

The eldest lady said, "Madame She is right. If you eat too much, the baby in your belly will grow too big, and it will be very difficult for you to give birth. I, your sister-in-law, was also watched by someone at that time. You are a mother for the first time, and you don't know the ins and outs of this. You still have to listen to the doctor."

Su Xinyi smiled and nodded, "I know, don't worry, I will listen."

The fourth lady also said, "Don't eat too little, you are not fat at all now, it doesn't matter if you eat a little more."

The eldest lady knew that the fourth brother's wife loved her daughter, so she smiled and said, "Your brothers have gone south, and several sisters have sent letters home when they knew that you were pregnant. They are worried about you. In addition, the eldest aunt has something to tell you. Your uncle wants to hear your opinion."

Su Xinyi said, "Aunt, if you have something to say, just tell me."

The eldest lady told Su Baiwei and his wife about sending the child back. Su Xinyi was very surprised. Somehow, she suddenly remembered that she mentioned Fengpingwei to His Highness, Prince Rong, and Shang Junyan yesterday.

Fengpingwei and Pingningwei are adjacent to each other. It seems unusual that my elder sister and my brother-in-law sent the child back at this time.

Perhaps because Xinyi looked a little serious, the person who answered was shocked, "Xinyi, is there something wrong?"

Su Xinyi saw that her aunt's face had changed, and she quickly calmed down and said, "Aunt, don't worry, there is something wrong, but it has not been concluded yet. Did my elder sister and brother-in-law say anything else? Did the family letter mention the current situation of Pingningwei?"
