Once the Crown Prince Joins In

372: Sowing Discord

The eldest lady shook her head when she heard this, "I didn't say anything else. I just said that Xie Kun and Sister Jun are growing up. After all, Pingningwei is not as good as the capital. I want them to come back and study in the capital. I think this is the truth. , Xie Kun will continue to practice martial arts when he is older, and your eldest brother-in-law wants to find him a good master in the capital. "

The eldest lady sighed when she said this, looked at Su Xinyi and said slowly: "Now you are a person with ideas and have rules for doing things. My eldest aunt will not hide it from you. I was thinking about your eldest sister marrying your eldest brother-in-law. Be good to your eldest sister and be good to Sister Jun. We can't treat Xie Kun's child as an outsider. Beijing is indeed better than Pingningwei. It's business to send the child here. However, when I hear you ask this, I feel a little unsure. "

At this time, when asked by Su Xinyi, the eldest lady also came to her senses. The Jinglue had always had a proud temperament and acted like a fox. He would not easily let his children come to the capital if nothing happened, especially Xie Kun. He is not the grandson of the Duke of Qi.

The eldest lady was a little worried, fearing that something really happened here. Bai Wei and her youngest grandson were still in Pingning Guard.

"You know about the granary case, right?" Su Xinyi didn't want her aunt to make random suspicions, but she messed up her position.

The eldest lady nodded, "I'm afraid no one in the capital knows about this case, and I don't know who is so bold as to dare to do such a bastard thing."

Su Xinyi couldn't say clearly that it was the prince who speculated about Pingningwei's situation together. After all, the truth hadn't come out yet, so he could only speak based on his own speculation, "I guess the stolen food may be transported to Tubo and other places through Fengpingwei." My eldest brother-in-law’s Pingning Guard is adjacent to Fengping Guard. For the sake of the child’s safety, I decided to send him back first so that I wouldn’t have to worry about anything later.”

After hearing this, the eldest lady's face became a little ugly, full of worry, and said: "Then your eldest sister and Xuan'er are still there, isn't it also dangerous?"

Su Xinyi knew that the eldest aunt was worried about her daughter and grandson, but if the couple had a good relationship, they would not separate easily. She looked at the eldest aunt and said: "Auntie, since the eldest sister has decided to send Sister Jun and Xie Kun back first, then I mean to stay with my eldest brother-in-law. Xuan'er is still too young to leave her mother, so she naturally wants to stay with her."

Seeing the eldest aunt's changing expression, Su Xinyi added, "The eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law are just a couple. If they encounter something dangerous that they don't know whether it is dangerous, they will escape by themselves first. What do you want the eldest brother-in-law to think? Besides, they are now in love with each other, and the eldest sister will definitely not come back alone with the child. "

The eldest lady sighed, she knew what Xin Yi said was right, but how could a mother not worry about her children.

But think about it, if her husband was in danger, she would never escape first.

That’s all.

"You are right, but I was mistaken." The eldest lady cheered up, "Besides, your brothers have already gone south, and Suizhou is not very far from Pingningwei, so we can finally take care of each other."

"Well, the eldest brother will go south with Mr. Shang to investigate the case this time. Now that the eldest brother is able to take charge of the matter on his own, don't worry, eldest aunt."

It is impossible to rest assured, but the matter has come to this. The eldest lady knows that the children have their own ideas, and there is no benefit in trying to stop them. It is better to take good care of the two children, and wait for the Bible to pick up the children in the future, so as to remember them. The Su family's friendship is better for their daughter.

The fourth lady looked at the worried look of the eldest lady, looked at Xin Yi and said slowly: "Xin Yi, mother has something to tell you. Your eldest sister has sent the child back, and your eldest aunt has to take care of the housework and I want to take care of Brother Yan, so I want to take care of the two children in the fourth room, so that I can be more lively, what do you think?"

Su Xinyi felt that it was great. Her mother had no children in her life, so she realized that she had not enjoyed much happiness as a family. In her previous life, she had devoted herself to her, and her life had been too hard.

"As long as you are happy, I think it will be fine. You will be the only one living in our four-bedroom apartment. There are many empty rooms. It will be really lively with two children living there."

The fourth lady smiled, "I think so too."

"Besides, Mom, you study a lot. You can teach Sister Jun and Brother Kun first. When the children are older and familiar with the family, it would be better to send them to school."

The eldest lady nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the children will definitely feel uneasy when they come back. I am afraid that they will be afraid if they are rushed to school. It would be great if the fourth younger brother and sister are willing to bother."

The eldest lady and the fourth lady didn't get along well in the past, because the fourth lady was full of knowledge and always had the arrogance of a talented woman inadvertently. The eldest lady was a person who dealt with money all day long, so naturally they had different temperaments.

But things are different now. Since Su Xinyi came back, many of the original impressions have been broken. Now the eldest lady can sit with the fourth lady and drink tea for a long time.

Su Xinyi was very happy to see that her eldest aunt and her mother were getting along well. After all, the relationship was not very harmonious in her previous life.

The matter was settled like this. Su Xinyi left the two elders to have a meal in the East Palace, and specially prepared gifts for the family to take back. After eating, he said to the two of them, "Father allows me to go home at will. Once my pregnancy is more stable, I will go back to visit my grandparents.”

Madam:...

Fourth Lady:…

Is there such a thing?

The two looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, they couldn't quite understand what was going on, so they looked at Su Xinyi with all four eyes.

Su Xinyi pretended to be calm and spoke slowly, "His Royal Highness the Prince asked for it for me. My father agreed because I have always been a restless person."

The two of them understood instantly, who else could understand their child's restless temper better than them? In the past, he had to go out every other day in the Duke's Mansion.

I never thought that after marrying into the royal family, His Majesty, who is so majestic and solemn, could actually forgive such a small matter.

The first lady spoke earnestly, "Xinyi, even if His Majesty said so, you should know when to advance and retreat, and don't let others catch you."

The fourth lady also nodded, "Yes, His Highness can think about you, and you have to think about His Highness too."

Su Xinyi nodded immediately, "I know, don't worry."

The first lady and the fourth lady were not very reassured. Before leaving, the fourth lady still called Madam She aside to give her some instructions. There was no way, she knew her own child well, and she couldn't bear to scold or beat him, so she had to let someone coax him.

After sending the two elders away, Su Xinyi looked at Madam She's smiling face and smiled too.

It is a very happy thing that someone cares about you and is willing to worry about you.

The East Palace was warm and cozy, but the Guangping County Prince's Mansion was not peaceful. The Guangping County Prince's wife went to the palace to cry to the Queen.

The Queen looked at her sister with a cold face, "I told you a long time ago to take good care of my daughter, but you just turned a deaf ear to it. Although I am your sister, I am still the Queen of His Majesty. As the Queen, I can only listen to His Majesty's words. This time, not to mention you, even Rong Wang and I will be angered by His Majesty."

The Guangping County Prince's wife was stunned and couldn't cry anymore. She immediately said, "How is it possible? His Majesty likes Rong Wang so much..."

"His Majesty doesn't have only one son. You also saw that this time, Wu Wang has an errand. Since Rong Wang returned to Beijing, has he had other errands besides being in the inner court?" The Queen began to threaten her sister. Of course, the truth was not like this, but she didn't want her sister to continue to be confused, so she could only scare her.

The Princess of Guangping County turned pale, her eyes turned straight, and she said after a while: "But you can't vent your anger on the county prince. I will take good care of Qiongsi in the future. Sister, your family has been demoted to commoners by His Majesty. If the county prince's mansion collapses again, it will not be good for you as the queen."

The queen's heart was choked. She really thought so before, so she always supported her sister and brother-in-law, just to have an arm in the future and find a helper for her son, but look at what they did?

Not only did they not do the right things well, but they also did a lot of useless things. Every time they were implicated, they wanted to vomit blood.

But since joining forces with Su Xinyi, the queen has been living a comfortable life. What is a strong alliance? Now she can finally understand the comfort and pleasure of Concubine Li back then.

Moreover, her son has no intention of competing with the prince at all. At present, seeing that His Majesty still trusts the prince very much, she has given up struggling. Instead of continuing to oppose the prince and pushing her unpromising son up, it is better to build a good relationship with the prince and his wife, so that her son can become a rich and virtuous king in the future and keep him safe for the rest of his life.

The Queen's mentality has changed. Now she feels a little uncomfortable when she hears her sister say this. She looks at her and says, "As long as I, the Queen, am impartial and upright and do not make mistakes, His Majesty will not depose me. As long as Prince Rong abides by the law, he will be safe and smooth. But if you do not restrain yourself and correct yourself, look at your brother's current situation. Can't you reflect on yourself?

Speaking of which, Qiongsi is just my niece, but she can force a minister whom His Majesty trusts to marry in the capital. What will His Majesty think? The current Shang Junyan is not the Shang Junyan of the past. Don't you understand it now?"

The Princess of Guangping County trembled in her heart, "Sister, what do you mean? Don't you want to take care of us?"

"I have always taken care of you, but if you don't do your best, I can't do anything about it." The Queen said with a stern face, "Now, you'd better choose a good family for Qiongsi to marry as soon as possible, and don't bother Shang Junyan anymore, otherwise when His Majesty really gets angry, it will not be a good thing for Guangping County. It's so easy for the prince to return home to reflect. "

The Princess of Guangping County didn't expect her sister to be so heartless this time, and her face was a little unhappy, "What good family can be picked out now..."

"The Prince of Guangping has no great merits, and is not valued by His Majesty. He has the title of a prince but does an idle job. Look at Congjia, although he is a prince, but he has been spoiled by you. He has neither a family nor a career at such a big age, and you still look down on other families. Don't you see which good family's daughter in the capital will marry Congjia? Don't you see that with Qiongsi's current reputation, who dares to marry her from a noble family!"

The Queen's words were merciless. She took a deep breath and looked at her sister, "Think about it yourself. I have said everything I can say. Now I have to take care of Prince Rong. Don't think about my marriage between Congjia and Qiongsi."

The Princess of Guangping County has never been worried. Isn't it just thinking that if it doesn't work, she can ask the Queen to grant the marriage. Who dares not obey the Queen's will?

But what does the Queen say now?

The Queen didn't want to see her sister's face changing so drastically, so she stood up and went into the inner hall, asking Madam Zhao to send the person away.

The Princess of Guangping County wanted to say something, but Madam Zhao immediately stood in front of her and said with a smile: "Princess, the Queen is angry, you should go back first."

The Princess of Guangping County had a dark face and glanced at Madam Zhao, this old and cunning slave who looked at people and served them!

Madam Zhao smiled and had no reaction to the Princess of Guangping County's dark face. She followed closely and sent the person out of Yuanhui Palace. When she turned back, the smile on her face faded, and she gently brushed the corner of her clothes. Some people, at their age, can't put themselves in the right position.

Although she was a slave, she knew where she was rooted, and she was loyal to the Queen all her life. As long as the Queen didn't dislike her, her position would be as stable as a mountain.

What does the dislike of the Princess of Guangping mean to her? She doesn't take it to heart at all.

If the Crown Princess dislikes her at all, she will be worried.

After all, the Crown Princess is not only the stepdaughter-in-law of the Queen, but also the next master of the harem in the future. This person can decide her life and death in the future, so she will naturally serve her carefully.

What does the Princess of Guangping mean to her? If it weren't for the Queen's consideration of the brotherhood, this person... would be so ignorant and tactless, and it would hurt when she fell.

Zhao Mama returned to the inner hall. Seeing that the queen still looked uneasy, she walked over lightly and said after paying her respects, "Your Majesty, the princess has left the palace."

The queen sighed softly and looked at Zhao Mama and said, "She is old, but she only knows how to eat, drink and have fun without growing her brain. She didn't teach either of her two children well. She will be in trouble in the future."

Zhao Mama heard the queen's tone and was afraid that she still had some affection for her sister, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I think the princess will correct her mistakes after you persuade her. . Princess Runyi has always been close to you. Since you care about her marriage like this, I believe the princess will understand the queen's painstaking efforts and will not pursue Lord Shang anymore. "

Speaking of this, the queen became even angrier, "I saw her keep a distance from Shang Junyan before, and I thought she really changed. It has only been a short time since she returned to her old ways. I think she will not cry until she sees the coffin!"

"This time, the Prince of Guangping was reprimanded by His Majesty, and the princess will definitely not be willful again." Madam Zhao advised, "But... Madam, are you really not going to care about the princess's marriage?"

The queen hesitated.

Madam Zhao saw that, as expected, the queen was just speaking in anger before. She had loved Princess Runyi for so many years, and she could not let it go immediately.

Zhao Ma Ma recalled the way the Princess of Guangping looked at her before, and said calmly: "I know that your majesty loves the princess very much. After all, it is a marriage, how can you be so hard-hearted that you really don't care. It's just..."

The queen listened to Zhao Ma Ma's hesitation and frowned: "Just what?"

Zhao Ma Ma sighed, "I don't care about the government, I'm just worried about your majesty. Your majesty has already given in to His Majesty about the uncle's matter before, and Lord Shang is now being used by His Majesty. This time, he was ordered to investigate the granary case as an imperial envoy, and even asked the prince to return to the mansion to reflect for Lord Shang. The princess's reputation in the capital now... If your majesty really arranges a marriage, it's fine if the man likes it, but if he doesn't like it and makes a scene in front of His Majesty, it will be difficult for your majesty."

The queen was silent. Before, in front of her younger sister, she insisted that she would not arrange a marriage for Qiong Si because the queen knew her family affairs. When her family was demoted last time, Madam Zhao said that she was soft in front of His Majesty, which was a light thing. She knew that His Majesty was actually dissatisfied with her.

If Qiong Si's marriage caused any trouble again, she was also worried that His Majesty would settle old and new accounts. Now that Concubine Li and her son were eyeing her covetously, she could not make any mistakes at this time.

Her son was about to get married, and there could be no accidents in his marriage.

The queen was naturally a qualified aunt, but compared with her own son, her niece was naturally more important than her own son.

The queen's face was extremely ugly. It was not an easy thing for her to make this decision, because once she really let it go, I'm afraid her younger sister's family would blame her.

The queen covered her face with a handkerchief and said to Madam Zhao: "Go to the inner court and check the matters of King Jing's marriage again."

Madam Zhao knew what to say and turned away after answering.

Don't say too much, just be useful.

After returning home, the Princess of Guangping County was furious. She looked at her daughter and said angrily: "It's all your fault. What did you promise me that you would not have any thoughts about Shang Junyan? What are you doing now? Now the queen doesn't care about you!"

Yan Qiongsi's indifferent expression froze slightly at this moment, "Mother, what do you mean?"

"What can I mean? It means what you heard." The Princess of Guangping County was upset, "Where is your father?"

Yan Qiongsi pursed her lips, "He has been with Aunt Feng all day."

What she didn't say was that she wanted to see her father, but was blocked by Aunt Feng's maid. She knew that this incident implicated her father, and she was angry with her.

She originally thought that as long as her mother went to the palace to ask her aunt, there would definitely be room for maneuver, but she didn't expect to hear such news.

Princess Guangping was almost furious. Feng was her husband's new concubine. He had considered her face as his wife and would not go too far. Now that something happened, it was a slap in her face.

Seeing her mother's ugly face, Yan Qiongsi finally felt that she had caused a big disaster. How could her aunt ignore her? Her aunt loved her since she was a child and would not ignore her.

"Mom, I want to go to the palace to see my aunt." Yan Qiongsi looked at her mother and said.

Princess Guangping looked at her daughter with a dark face, "You could go whenever you wanted before, but it's not easy to go now."

Yan Qiongsi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"It's the old servant in front of your aunt who said that you can only enter the palace after the queen summons you." Princess Guangping was even more upset when she thought of this. What should she do now?

After thinking it over, he looked at his daughter and said, "If it weren't for the trouble you caused, how could this happen? I think you should get married quickly. Now you can forget about Shang Junyan!"
