414: Become a Concubine to Prince Rong

"Is there any progress on Xu Yurong's side?" Su Xinyi looked at Zhan Qiao and asked.

"There is no news from the Third Master yet."

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "Report to me when you have news, you go and get busy."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Zhan Qiao bowed and left.

Su Xinyi walked slowly in the palace, but her mind was turning quickly. His Highness had no more letters, and Prince Rong had no letters to send back to the capital. She guessed that the matter of the granary was being finalized, so there was no time to send a letter back to the capital.

Prince Yi was making such a big move now, he must have known the news from Suizhou, so he was a little restless, right?

Only such an explanation could explain the frequent actions of Prince Yi.

So, she should do something, even if she was thousands of miles away from His Highness, she could echo him from afar and hold down Prince Yi, the big pest.

What is the most appropriate way to do it?

She is the Crown Princess, not a court official. There are many things that ordinary wives of officials can do, but she cannot act rashly.

However, His Majesty allowed her to return to her parents' home at will before...

She was a little suspicious now, whether His Majesty had anticipated today's situation, or guessed the position of Prince Yi in this matter. If she, the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, could freely go back and forth to her parents' home, wouldn't it create an opportunity for Prince Yi to take action?

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi felt very strange.

Is he using her as bait?

It seems that this guess cannot be made, after all, she is pregnant with His Majesty's child, so what does His Majesty mean?

Su Xinyi couldn't guess it for a while, and didn't want to guess His Majesty too sinister, so she thought that on the day of her second brother's wedding, she should go back to the mansion to test Prince Yi's reaction, and then she might be able to guess His Majesty's intentions.

Thinking of this, her heart was clear. She was just pregnant, not disabled. With her skills, she couldn't fight too violently as before, but ordinary practice was still no problem.

However, to be on the safe side, she still had to ask Zhu Chanyi to accompany her. She would not give the enemy a chance to be arrogant and rely on her military strength.

After a thorough plan, Su Xinyi wrote a letter to Zhu Chanyi, inviting her to go back to the Duke's Mansion with her to attend Su Qi's wedding banquet.

Zhu Chanyi did not write a reply, but came directly.

When Su Xinyi saw her, she smiled and invited someone in, saying, "Why bother you to come in person?"

"Anyway, I'm free anyway, it's good to come visit. It's really boring to be alone at home." Zhu Chanyi took the tea brought by Cuique and said, "Even if my sister-in-law didn't say it, I would have to go to such a happy event as the second son of Su's marriage. It would be better to go with you. I think my sixth brother's wife will also go. It will be more lively when we sit at the same table."

Zhu Chanyi did not mention the Princess of Wu. Her idea was different. This kind of thing was originally a matter of mutual consent. Those who want to go can go, and those who don't want to go can't go.

Logically speaking, they are all royal sisters-in-law, so they should go, but it's hard to say about Ji Yun. If she invites them, she might say something.

Su Xinyi thinks Zhu Chanyi is right. Princess Jing is related to their family by marriage, so they will definitely go.

Zhu Chanyi didn't mention Princess Wu, and neither did Su Xinyi. They both knew it.

"Xinyi, you invited me to go with you. Is there something wrong?" Zhu Chanyi asked with concern.

Su Xinyi nodded, "It's just a guess. Maybe I guessed wrong. I can rest assured that you can accompany me with your skills."

Zhu Chanyi immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course, we have fought each other. Although I'm not as good as you, I can still handle a few ordinary people."

After Su Xinyi said this, Zhu Chanyi knew what was going on, but Xinyi didn't elaborate. Obviously, she was not very sure about the matter, so she didn't ask in detail.

Zhu Chanyi is an interesting person. She immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "This morning, I heard about the Jiang family and the Guangping County Prince's Mansion breaking off the engagement. I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't expect them to cooperate so well. It's strange."

"Nothing strange." Su Xinyi smiled, "Lord Jiang complained to my father, and my father asked me to keep an eye on this matter."

Zhu Chanyi was surprised, "Looking for you?"

Su Xinyi was amused by Zhu Chanyi's surprised look, "No?"

Zhu Chanyi made a "tsk" sound, "It's not no, it's just that I didn't expect that the mother didn't mean to blame you, right? After all, Princess Runyi has always been protected by the mother."

Su Xinyi said: "The person who tied the bell must untie it. Although the mother loves Yan Qiongsi, she is most concerned about the future of the seventh brother."

Zhu Chanyi clasped her hands together, "I admire you."

It seems that this person threatened the queen with the Rong prince... No, no, to persuade the queen, most people dare to think so, I'm afraid they don't dare to do it easily.

For example, she always takes more into consideration.

In other words, Su Xinyi's personality of doing what she said really suited her appetite, and she did things that she dared to think but did not dare to do.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chanyi smiled maliciously, "The mother and daughter of the Princess of Guangping County will be angry to death, and I'm afraid they will have a grudge against the queen mother."

Su Xinyi smiled lightly, "It's better to have a grudge, don't you think?"

"Yes!" Zhu Chanyi nodded vigorously, "I don't want to meet them in the palace every now and then in the future. You say I am the Princess of Rong after all. When the mother and daughter saw me, the look in their eyes and expressions really made me uncomfortable. Why, my background is not worthy of the Prince of Rong? Our family is also a noble family. To be honest, their Guangping County Prince's Mansion is nothing!"

Su Xinyi:...

"Are you bullied by them?"

Otherwise, this person can be so angry that he curses?

Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and said, "If Yan Qiongsi always looks at you like you're trash, won't you be angry?"

Su Xinyi fell silent. Not only was she angry, she also wanted to hit someone.

"Princess Runyi has the queen's favor, but she has forgotten the foundation of her family. In the final analysis, other people's favor is still others, and you can give it or take it."

"I have been favored for a long time, so I thought it was true." The Zhu Chanyi family has a family of military generals. The inheritance from generation to generation is based on ability. When fighting on the battlefield, you cannot rely on your words. Under swords and guns, a mouth can't save you. life.

"With Father's intervention in this matter, the good luck of Guangping County Prince's Palace will come to an end."

"Speaking of which, when the Shu family was demoted to commoners, why do you think the princess of Guangping County and her daughter didn't have long memories?"

"Maybe they feel that someone will take care of everything for them."

"It's going to be really lively this time. Do you think the Queen Mother won't be soft-hearted?"

"If your heart softens, you can carry Prince Rong out. After all, the seventh brother is still investigating the case with his life and death hanging over there. The seventh brother has fought for his future with his life, why don't others know how to cherish it and squander it wantonly?"

Zhu Chanyi's eyes lit up. Of course, the matter was not as terrible as Su Xinyi said, but it was useful to tell the queen so.

The Queen will not feel that she has to work hard to protect the princess and her daughter of Guangping County, and is willing to do her best for them, but it is difficult to say that it will cost the safety and future of King Rong.

"Hey, you still have a way, so I'll do it." Zhu Chanyi was overjoyed. The princess of Guangping County and her daughter are not human beings, so she can still be a Bodhisattva. "By the way, Master Minghui, are you just going to keep them locked up? My grandfather asked you what your plans are, but they can't pry you open, they're very tough, and they can't really use severe torture to kill people, right now. It can only be closed.”

Su Xinyi heard the words and said: "This Master Minghui is really tough. She is only willing to talk about some insignificant things and not say a word about other important things. King Yi's biological mother really made a close friend back then."

"No, my grandfather also said that good friends are the hardest to find." Zhu Chanyi sighed, "It can be seen that the biological mother of King Yi at that time must also be a not simple person."

"Then lock him up first and don't let others seek short-term consequences. King Yi has been making frequent moves recently, which may be related to the disappearance of Master Minghui. Moreover, the case in the granary over there is also pressing harder on him. Now my father wants him to He is staying in Beijing to celebrate the New Year and is worried that he cannot return to Suizhou to take charge. "

When Su Xinyi said this, he looked up at Zhu Chanyi and was suddenly startled, and then said: "The Yan Ling family has settled in Beijing, and Master Minghui has been unwilling to explain important matters. What do you think if we let them meet? "

"Meet?" Zhu Chanyi's mind became more active after hearing this, "Master Minghui has been at Yuling Nunnery for many years, so I'm afraid she doesn't know Yan Ling, right?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "It's hard to say. You can ask Yan Ling first, when did Master Minghui come to the capital?"

Zhu Chanyi really didn't know, "Then let's ask first. If Yan Ling really knows Master Minghui, there might be some unexpected gains from this matter."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Let's try it first, what if it works? Moreover, I heard from Zhang Jian that Yan Ling was in a bad mood after coming to Beijing, and he was even more disdainful when he mentioned King Yi, but he may have suffered a lot in life. He rarely mentioned the original incident. If His Highness were here, he might be able to ask."

Zhu Chanyi stood up, "How about I go for a walk right now?"

Su Xinyi said: "You send a message to the old Duke, and I will ask Zhang Jian to cooperate with the meeting. Do it privately and quietly. I think it is the right day for my second brother to get married, and others will only watch whether we go or not." When you go to the Duke’s Mansion, you will ignore other people.”

"Okay." Zhu Chanyi agreed, "Yan Ling has difficulty traveling and it is impossible for him to leave the city. Then we can only let Master Minghui come to see him. We must make good arrangements so that no one can find out."

The two discussed it carefully, and after they almost settled on it, Zhu Chanyi brought up the previous topic again, "After breaking off the engagement this time, I looked at which high-ranking family could be chosen for Yan Qiongsi's marriage, and my eyes widened. No matter how good it is, I don’t know which family is unlucky enough to have such a wife.”

Su Xinyi almost spit out her tea when she took a sip. She looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "You are really angry."

With Zhu Chanyi's temperament, this was really the first time she had spoken so fiercely and without mercy.

"Aren't I afraid that I will be unlucky?"

"What do you mean?" Su Xinyi didn't understand for a moment.

Zhu Chanyi talked about her nails and said casually, "The two of you are very confident because, if you really can't find a good wife, you want to enter Prince Rong's Mansion."

Su Xinyi:......

"Who did you listen to? Don't talk nonsense like this. Yan Qiongsi is the queen's niece. He has been favoring and treating her favorably for so many years. How could it be possible for King Rong to accept her as his concubine?"

"Isn't there a place for the concubine?"

Su Xinyi shook her head, "Isn't this impossible? The Queen has personally chosen you to be her daughter-in-law, and she also knows your temperament well. You and Yan Qiongsi will be the main concubine and the side concubine. I'm afraid you are not looking forward to being compared to the Prince Rong Palace. The palace is more lively? The Queen has always been calm and wise, so she would not make such a decision."

"But what if the princess of Guangping County begs for help?"

Su Xinyi still found it a bit ridiculous, "I think it's still impossible. Yan Qiongsi has always been arrogant and is willing to be a concubine?"

This is unlikely.

In her previous life, Yan Qiongsi never married. She would rather spend her years waiting to become a successor than to become a concubine in the Prince of Pingjing's mansion. How could she possibly become a concubine for Prince Rong in this life?

"I heard it with my own ears. How could it be wrong?"

"I heard it with my own ears?"

Where could such words be heard?

Su Xinyi's heart was shocked and she looked up at Zhu Chanyi.

Zhu Chanyi smiled, "You also thought of it, right? Yes, it was in Yuanhui Palace. It was a coincidence last time. The mother and daughter came to the palace to pay respects to the queen. I bumped into them. I heard them mention this matter in the side hall through the window. Although they didn't say it openly, that's the meaning."

At this point, Zhu Chanyi looked at Su Xinyi and asked, "You said, saying such words in the side hall of Yuanhui Palace, how could the queen not know?"

Su Xinyi heard Zhu Chanyi not call her mother, but called her the queen directly. I'm afraid she was a little disappointed with the queen.

Su Xinyi frowned and thought about it. In her previous life, the queen had always been flexible in her work. Even if she made things difficult for herself, she would not let anyone catch too much evidence. She was encountered by the Crown Prince several times, but he was not able to catch any evidence at all.

Would such a queen leave hidden dangers in her son's mansion?

"I still think it is unlikely. Maybe the mother and daughter deliberately let you hear this matter so that you can make mistakes in a hurry and get a handle on you. As for whether the queen knows about it, I think it is not important. Since the queen did not mention this matter in front of you, it means that the queen either does not know about it or does not agree. In this case, why mention it in front of you?"

"Really?" Zhu Chanyi was puzzled. Although she married Prince Rong, the couple did not get along for long before Prince Rong went south.

She didn't know much about the queen as a mother-in-law, but Xinyi married in early, so she should be somewhat sure of what she said.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Anyone can be a concubine, except Yan Qiongsi. With such a troublemaker entering the mansion, I am afraid that my life will be over someday."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment. This is really possible.

In her previous life, wasn't it Yan Qiongsi who put pressure on her, and the mother and daughter of the Princess of Pingjing County took action to force her to death?

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi hated Yan Qiongsi even more. Her eyes sank, and she thought about it and said, "If there is no worry at all, there is a way, but it is risky. I don't know if you dare to do it?"
