374: How Did This Happen?

Su Xinyi is a martial arts practitioner, and not everyone can have very keen senses.

Her facial features are sharp because she went to the mountains and hunted since she was a child. Where is King Yi?

intrinsic?

There are indeed people as amazing and talented as her father in the world, but there are definitely not many such people.

King Yi...

After Su Xinyi avoided it, he knew that he could not stay for long, so he left with Yang Jin. As he walked, he asked: "Master Yang, does King Yi know some martial arts?"

Yang Jin shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know, Crown Princess, why do you suddenly ask like this?"

Su Xinyi thought about it and said, "When I looked like King Yi just now, I used the peripheral vision of my eyes, but King Yi noticed it quickly."

Yang Jin was also stunned. He was also a martial arts practitioner, so he naturally knew the meaning of these words, and his expression became solemn for a while.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the Crown Princess and said in a low voice: "Princess, the people sent by His Highness to Suizhou did not find out whether King Yi knew kung fu, because no one had seen King Yi take action, and the information investigated also said that King Yi and his biological mother, King Lao Yi, were not favored when they were alive, so the life of mother and son was not very good, so probably King Lao Yi would not hire a martial artist to teach his son. "

Su Xinyi and Yang Jin looked at each other, both of them a little confused.

"This is really strange. Could it be that he is gifted?" Su Xinyi murmured softly.

Yang Jin almost laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly put his hands into fists in front of his lips, and then said seriously: "Then I will investigate again, but the people your Highness sent to Suizhou before are not just people. Since he didn't find out , either King Yi really doesn’t know kung fu, or he hides it too deeply, if it’s the latter..."

Yang Jin took a deep breath and didn't say the rest of the words.

Su Xinyi understood clearly, so he looked at Yang Jin and said, "We'd better check again. Your Highness, Mr. Yang, had better report back. After all, there are too many strange things happening around Suizhou, so it never hurts to be cautious. "

Yang Jin nodded, "Don't worry, Crown Princess, I will definitely report back to His Highness the Crown Prince."

After saying this, Yang Jin stopped at the palace gate of the harem. Naturally, he, a foreigner, could not easily enter the harem.

Su Xinyi said goodbye to Yang Jin and walked into the palace gate. The guards at the palace gate saluted, and Yang Jin turned around and left.

Yang Jin felt a little pity that Mu Xing followed Su Yi south. Otherwise, if Mu Xing were here, he would be good at detecting any news.

Yang Jin thought about it and went to find Pang Lan first. Now Pang Lan is still resting in Beijing. The caravan's return date has not yet been determined. He still has to wait for His Majesty's decree. If you are idle, you are idle. It is better to go out and do some work.

If Pang Lan knew what Yang Jin was thinking, he would definitely kick him out.

On the other side, Su Xinyi arrived at Yuanhui Palace, just as Aunt Zhao had just returned from the Inner Palace. The two of them were walking across from each other. Aunt Zhao came up to her with a smile, "Old slave, pay homage to the Crown Princess."

"Mother Zhao, please get up quickly. Where did you come from?" Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Aunt Zhao stood up, looked at the Crown Princess and said, "Old slave, come here from the Inner Palace."

Su Xinyi nodded. Prince Jing's marriage is about to take place, and there must be many things that need to be sorted out. Aunt Zhao is the queen's right-hand man, and she will definitely be very busy at this time.

"Thank you for your hard work, mama."

"I dare not say how hard it is to do what the Queen ordered me to do. It's all my duty. The Crown Princess looks good, so the Queen hopes that the Crown Princess will give birth to your Majesty's eldest grandson, but the Queen Mother also said that she is the eldest grandson. She is also His Majesty’s first grandchild, so she is naturally very noble.”

Su Xinyi understood what Aunt Zhao meant, and this was a tactful way of telling her the Queen's attitude.

The queen is very close to her. She has long known about the princess of Guangping County entering the palace. It seems that the princess of Guangping County still cannot see the situation clearly. She does not know that the queen's mind and stance have already changed at this time. Acting like he did before will definitely anger the Queen.

Gee, that's good news for her.

"What the Queen Mother said is that Your Highness and I are looking forward to this child, whether it's a boy or a girl." Su Xinyi responded with a smile.

Aunt Zhao thought to herself that His Highness the Crown Prince was really responsive to the Crown Princess's requests, so naturally everything would be fine.

Hey, although their princess grew up in the countryside and suffered hardships, it was bitter first and then sweet. Now look at how she is living...

Your Majesty also promised that the Crown Princess can return to her parents' home at will during her pregnancy, and she can even go out of the East Palace and wander around the capital. This is what people call mother and son. In comparison, it was when the Queen was pregnant with His Highness Prince Rong. , not as relaxed and comfortable as the Crown Princess.

"Mammy, I heard that Princess Yi has entered the palace, can mama be there?" Su Xinyi started to inquire about the news from Mammy Zhao, and her pace slowed down after saying this.

Aunt Zhao naturally slowed down and listened to the princess' voice with a bit of curiosity. She smiled and said: "Yes, I went to the city yesterday. Because of the hard work of traveling all the way, His Majesty asked King Yi and Princess Yi to go back to the palace to rest. , because I couldn’t see the Queen yesterday, Princess Yi came into the palace early this morning.”

Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows slightly and said casually, "Really? This Princess Yi is quite a polite person."

Aunt Zhao looked around and then said in a low voice: "She seems a little timid and doesn't dare to speak loudly. She looks like a little daughter-in-law. The old slave heard that when King Lao Yi was alive , Prince Yi and his wife were not taken seriously, and they suffered a lot. Even if they became Princess Yi later, I am afraid this person's temperament would not be able to change. "

Su Xinyi listened to what Aunt Zhao meant, paused and then said, "If it is as Auntie said, this Princess Yi is a bit pitiful. How could the old King Yi be so partial? They are all his own children, even if they are concubines. , at least you can’t ignore it like this.”

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao thought to herself that the Crown Princess was still too kind-hearted. There were many partial parents in the world, but there were not many like King Lao Yi who did this.

Not to mention the distance, His Majesty is also close to and distant from several princes.

Needless to say, His Highness the Crown Prince, among the remaining princes, His Highness King Rong is the leader. If His Majesty hadn’t loved His Highness King Rong so much, Aunt Zhao might not have been able to hold the position of Queen and Empress. So stable.

Although Concubine Li is so favored, His Majesty is generally not very fond of King Xiang. Of course, compared to King Wu and King Jing, King Xiang is the one who receives preferential treatment.

However, although His Majesty is partial, even the less favored King Jing and King Wu still have the dignity and honor that a prince should have, but King Laoyi is not very kind.

They are all his sons, even if it is partiality, at least the rules cannot be wrong.

Aunt Zhao thought so in her heart, but she could not criticize a deceased prince so much. She thought about it and said slowly: "Princess, there are always all kinds of people in this world. You will understand when you meet Princess Yi." Oh, what a pitiful man he looks like.”

Su Xinyi saw the poor man that Nanny Zhao called him. She had glanced at King Yi from a distance before. At least King Yi looked a little humble, but at least he still had some magnanimity between his features.

But Princess Yi is not like that. She is obviously not much older than Su Xinyi, but her face is very weathered, and her hands are also very rough. It is obvious that she has been cared for, but her thick knuckles can tell that she has been Suffered a lot.

Princess Yi was wearing the princess's crown dress, which was clearly embroidered with gold and silver threads. However, Princess Yi's face was always silent and timid, and even the clothes seemed out of place as if they were a joke.

It was difficult for Su Xinyi to explain her current mood. The forced smile on Princess Yi's face when she saw her was unclear whether it was flattery or timidity, but she was just a little sad.

Looking at her, Su Xinyi seemed to think of herself in her previous life. The only thing that was better than Princess Yi was that she was very smart and would not show what she didn't know. She would put a skin on her face. Don’t show any timidity and study hard when you return home.

After the queen introduced the two of them, she asked Su Xinyi to sit down, then looked at Princess Yi and said, "This is the Crown Princess, the most cheerful and cheerful." Then she looked at Su Xinyi, "This is Princess Yi, who was with Prince Yi yesterday. Just arrived in the capital."

Princess Yi hurriedly stood up to greet her, "I've met the Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi turned slightly and said that the current King Yi and the Crown Prince were of the same age, but a few years older than the Crown Prince. Although he was also a member of the royal family, his bloodline was a bit distant, so he was considered the Crown Prince's cousin across the room.

With such a relationship, Princess Yi naturally cannot act like a cousin in front of the Crown Princess Su Xinyi. Besides, she seems to be timid, so it is not surprising that she takes the initiative to greet her.

"Princess Yi doesn't need to be polite, we are all one family." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

The Queen asked them both to sit down, then asked Su Xinyi a few questions about her health, and then explained to Princess Yi about Su Xinyi's pregnancy, and Princess Yi hurriedly congratulated her.

Seeing how nervous Princess Yi was, Su Xinyi couldn't tell for a moment whether she was pretending or if she really had such a temper.

While she was chatting with the queen, she glanced at Princess Yi from the corner of her eye, and saw that she had been listening to them carefully and conscientiously, and the smile on her face seemed a little stiff.

Su Xinyi's thoughts changed rapidly. She really couldn't figure out Princess Yi's true temperament. She also knew not to be anxious, so she simply stopped looking at her and only listened to the queen talking about Prince Jing's wedding.

The three books and six etiquettes were completed one by one. The queen had indeed worked a lot during these days. Fortunately, the Inner Palace and the Ministry of Etiquette worked together to ensure that King Jing's wedding went ahead as usual. Even so, the queen had many things to worry about.

After talking about these things slowly, Concubine Li and the others soon arrived, and the palace suddenly became lively.

Su Xinyi is pregnant. Even if Princess Yi is here, she can't stop the other concubines from looking at her eagerly, especially Concubine Li.

Su Xinyi smiled, and after greeting everyone, they took their seats. She found that Princess Yi seemed more nervous than before, and she could no longer hold the smile on her face.

Concubine Li glanced at Su Xinyi, turned to the queen and smiled: "It's really rare for the Crown Princess to show her face today. It's not easy to meet her."

Su Xinyi's expression remained unchanged.

The Queen looked at Concubine Li, the smile on her face did not change at all, and said lightly, "When Concubine Li was pregnant with Prince Xiang, I also remember that you rarely left Zhaoyu Palace. You have all given birth to children. Being pregnant is naturally different from normal times.”

Concubine Li knew that the Queen would defend Su Xinyi, "The Queen said that the Crown Princess must be well taken care of."

Su Xinyi glanced at Concubine Li and said, "What the Concubine said is that I will definitely take good care of the baby."

Concubine Li was troubled. She thought that Su Xinyi's temper could not bear being locked up in the East Palace, so she deliberately used these words to hurt her. Who didn't know that His Majesty actually allowed her to return to her parents' home at will? You said it was irritating or not, but at the beginning When she was pregnant with Prince Xiang, she was not in such a beautiful state.

But for a Crown Princess, Your Majesty is being too indulgent.

It is said that the prince personally went to His Majesty to ask for it. Thinking of this, Concubine Li was even more upset.

Su Xinyi is just a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. If she didn't have a good father, how could she be so successful today?

Speaking of which, her son is still His Majesty's biological son, why doesn't His Majesty take more care of him.

Thinking of this, Concubine Li couldn't help but think of Prince Rong. Why is Prince Xiang inferior to Prince Rong? How can His Majesty like Prince Rong's son so much!

Concubine Li suppressed her anger, picked up the teacup and took a sip, forcing herself not to lose her composure.

Concubine Ruan Ming and Concubine Qi Xian looked at each other. They didn't dare to say anything now, and pretended to be dumb as always.

The Queen looked around and asked Concubine Ruan Ming: "Princess Wu, why haven't you entered the palace yet?"

Concubine Ruan Ming's heart trembled, and she immediately stood up and said: "To answer your Majesty, Concubine Wu sent someone to the palace to report that the carriage broke down on the road and she needed to change the carriage."

Queen: ...

How could such a thing happen?

"How does the carriage and stable of the Wu Palace work?" The Queen was a little unhappy. Whenever the palaces went out, they would give orders the day before, and the carriage and stable would be prepared in advance. There was almost no problem with the vehicle unless someone did it on purpose.

But the Wu Palace only had one princess at the moment, and there were no concubines, so naturally there was no fighting.

Since there was no dispute, it could only be said that the affairs of the palace were not handled well.

Ruan Mingfei hurriedly apologized, "I will ask you later, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The Queen looked at Ruan Mingfei, "Now you are also a mother-in-law, you can't ignore the affairs of the Prince Wu's Mansion. The Princess Wu is just the head of the family, you need to give more guidance."

Su Xinyi heard this and knew that the Queen was scolding Ruan Mingfei. The Princess Wu's palace was not well managed because she was incompetent. The Princess was incompetent, so Ruan Mingfei was bound to make mistakes.

Ruan Mingfei hurriedly nodded in response, not daring to say a word, nor dare to open her mouth to plead for her daughter-in-law.

Just when they got here, a palace servant came in to report that the Princess Wu had arrived.

Su Xinyi didn't turn her head to look, she saw that Concubine Li didn't care much, she had observed it deliberately, except for the beginning when Concubine Li and Concubine Yi talked, the eyes of the two never met at other times.

She was thinking about it.

At this time, Princess Wu walked in quickly. Su Xinyi glanced at her from the corner of her eyes. She looked unhappy, especially because there was some dust on the hem of her skirt.

This was surprising.
