420: The Queen Beat Concubine Li

With just a box of books, it is inevitable that some people feel that it is too far-fetched.

The first lady thought about it, looked at the fourth lady and said: "Fourth sister-in-law, you are also from a family of scholars. I think why don't you try Su Qi's wife tomorrow?"

If it were before, the fourth lady would definitely not agree, but now she nodded and said: "Okay, Qi brother's daughter-in-law has not come to the door yet, and we have added two times. It seems that the little girl has a good temper. Maybe if there is anything after she gets married, she can tell her family."

"I hope it's okay." The second lady said to the fourth lady, "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's awkward for a family to say this, second sister-in-law."

The third lady stood up when she heard it, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow. A box of books is worth such a big fanfare? Second sister-in-law, if you don't have anything else, I'll go back first."

The second lady smiled and agreed, and the third lady left. She was busy all day today, and she was really tired of taking care of the guests inside and outside.

As soon as the third wife left, the first wife said goodbye to the fourth wife.

After coming out, the first wife looked at the fourth wife and whispered, "Fourth sister-in-law, what do you think about this matter?"

The fourth wife shook her head, "Sister-in-law, this kind of thing is just our guess, I can't say it. However, books are very important for a family of scholars, especially books with inheritance value."

The first wife's face was a little heavy. She knew that the fourth wife must think there was something wrong, but she couldn't say it without evidence.

The eldest son's wife of the second room will also have to take on the younger generation of this room in the future. If there is really any problem, it will be very difficult.

The two separated at the intersection.

After returning, the fourth wife also felt uneasy, so she wrote a letter to her sister-in-law in her natal family to inquire about the Zhao family.

The letter was sent very quickly. Mrs. Gao was quite surprised when she received the letter. She was also stunned when she opened it. She didn't hear that the Zhao family had encountered anything.

But she also felt that the things mentioned in the sister-in-law's letter were a bit strange, so she called the housekeeper beside her and told her, "Go and find out if the Zhao family has encountered any strange things recently."

"Zhao family?" The housekeeper was stunned at first, then understood, "Zhao Hanlin's family? I haven't heard any rumors, so I'll go and find out."

"Go ahead, find out more carefully, and it would be best if you can ask people in the mansion."

"This is a bit difficult, otherwise I will take the person in charge of purchasing in our mansion's kitchen with me?"

The person in charge of purchasing is the one who knows the news of each mansion the best. The capital is such a small place, and the markets and shops where each mansion goes out to buy are similar, so the faces of each family and mansion are very familiar and can talk a few words.

If you really want to find out the news in the mansion, they are really useful.

Su Xinyi didn't know that something happened in the Duke's Mansion after she left. She took the two little guys back to the East Palace and placed them in the side hall of her palace. Then someone cleaned up the hall and decorated it to make it look like children like it.

She also took Jie Kun and Yun Jie'er to the martial arts field. Yun Jie'er, a little girl, was not interested in these things at all, but Jie Kun felt that the martial arts field in the East Palace was different from the ones at home and the Duke's Mansion, and he was immediately interested.

However, it was getting dark, so Su Xinyi just let him take a look and took them back to the main hall.

After returning, Jie Kun stared at Su Xinyi with sparkling eyes, "Sixth Aunt, can I go to the martial arts field tomorrow morning?"

Su Xinyi smiled, "Go if you want to, but don't practice the plum blossom piles in the martial arts field easily. They are not prepared for children. Pay attention to safety."

Jie Kun agreed, but his eyes kept turning.

Su Xinyi saw it but didn't say anything, just smiled. Although she had no experience in raising children, she had been a child herself and knew what children liked the most.

After dinner, she took them to the side hall to settle down. Su Xinyi told them about her hunting in the mountains. Yun Jieer fell asleep after listening for a while, but Jie Kun was full of energy and felt very curious.

"Sixth aunt, you were so young at that time, weren't you afraid?"

Su Xinyi looked at Jie Kun and asked her in a low voice, as if he was afraid of waking up Yun Jieer, so she also lowered her voice and replied, "Are you afraid now?"

Far away from home, in a completely unfamiliar place, with only her stepsister by her side.

Xie Kun didn't expect Sixth Aunt to ask him back like this. He felt that this was a different matter, but he still thought about it seriously, and then he said, "I was afraid when I first came, but now I'm not afraid at all."

Su Xinyi reached out and patted Xie Kun on the shoulder, "Yes, Sixth Aunt was also afraid when she first entered the forest, but she was no longer afraid after a long time. Xie Kun, you are a very smart child, but children should not be so serious. You should learn what you should learn and do what you should do. Do you understand?"

Xie Kun:...

Facing the surprised look that the little guy couldn't hide, Su Xinyi gently tapped his forehead, "Your father loves you very much, your stepmother, that is, my sister, is a soft-hearted and kind person. You are the eldest son of the Xie family. In the future, you will shoulder a lot of things, but you should not be defensive and distrustful of your relatives."

Xie Kun's whole little man froze, and the smile on his face seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Su Xinyi herself had been on guard, made mistakes, lost, and regretted, so she hoped that the little guy in front of her would be luckier than she was in her previous life.

Children who are too smart and sensitive are destined not to be too happy.

Jie Kun, you shouldn't take this path.

Jie Kun's small body curled up in the quilt. On another couch in the hall was Yun Jie'er, who was already asleep. Behind the curtain was the maid who was on night watch. Although he closed his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep.

He lay there motionless, even the sound of his breathing kept the same rhythm, just afraid that the night watcher would find out that he was not asleep.

His impression of his biological mother has become more and more vague. The only thing he remembers is how the Jiao family looked every time they saw him.

He would ask him to do many things and ask him to speak for the Jiao family in front of his father. His father loved him very much, but when he looked at his eyes, there would be something he couldn't understand now.

Although he didn't understand, he could feel that it was not a good thing.

The Crown Princess was right. His stepmother was a very good person. She was good to him, cared about him, loved him very much, and raised him like Yun Jie'er.

However, others said that his stepmother was so good to him that she wanted to flatter him to death.

Because his stepmother gave him a younger brother.

He would make way for his younger brother in the future.

He thought it might not be right, but everyone said so, so he wondered if he was wrong.

So he was more cautious in what he said and did, and he dared not let anyone see what he was thinking or what he wanted to do.

He was afraid, because once others knew what he was thinking and what he wanted to do, they would either destroy what they thought he shouldn't do or couldn't have, or coax him and deceive him.

He hid it so well, how did the Crown Princess see it?

His father said that the Crown Princess was a very smart and powerful person.

Sure enough.

Jie Kun was very annoyed, and for the first time he didn't know what he should do.

The next morning, Su Xinyi was not surprised to see Jie Kun's lack of energy. She pretended not to notice and invited the two little guys to eat.

The table was full of children's favorite food, even the buns were pinched into the shape of small animals, and Yun Jie'er couldn't bear to eat the ones she liked.

Su Xinyi smiled as she talked to them, and asked Yun Jieer, "What do you want to do after dinner?"

Shi Yun tilted her head and said crisply, "Aunt, I want to go to the martial arts arena."

Su Xinyi smiled, "Didn't you dislike it there yesterday?"

"But brother likes it, I'll go with him." Shi Yun smiled sweetly.

"Okay, I'll go with you too." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Jie Kun looked at Yun Jieer and then at the Crown Princess, then lowered his head to eat.

"Brother, are you unhappy?" Shi Yun looked at her brother with doubt.

Jie Kun immediately said, "No, I'm not unhappy, I just want to finish my meal quickly."

"Oh, I see, brother wants to go early, and I'll eat quickly too." Shi Yun held the small bowl and drank the porridge in big mouthfuls, looking like I was really trying hard to eat.

Su Xinyi also picked up the bowl, "Aunt, eat quickly too."

Jie Kun: ...

He saw the mischief in the Crown Princess' eyes, she must have done it on purpose.

The sun was shining brightly today. The three of them were walking on the way to the martial arts arena. Yun Jie'er ran in front like a little butterfly, and Jie Kun followed behind carefully, watching them. Su Xinyi followed them thoughtfully.

Yun Jie'er was still very young when she followed her elder sister to marry into the Jie family. She probably had no impression of her biological father. In the past few years, the father and son of the Jie family had been with her. Seeing how much she trusted and relied on Jie Kun, Jie Kun should have treated her like this when she was in Pingning Guard.

Although this kid was thoughtful, he was really good to Yun Jie'er.

Su Xinyi didn't use swords and guns easily now. She called a few guards to play with Jie Kun, and she took Yun Jie'er to accompany him.

Yun Jieer squatted on the ground and looked at her brother, not daring to disturb him, and lowered her voice, "Aunt, do you think my brother will win?"

"Do you hope my brother will win?"

"Of course, but my brother is too short, he will definitely not be able to beat an adult. My brother is so pitiful, aunt, why do you ask an adult to beat my brother? Can't you change a little person?"

Su Xinyi:...

She felt that she might be an unfriendly adult in Yun Jieer's heart.

"Yun Jieer, my brother will grow up. Now there are adults to accompany him to practice with him. When he grows up, he will be very powerful."

"Wow, really?" Shi Yun's eyes lit up, "Mom said that my brother must be very powerful to protect us."

Su Xinyi listened to Yun Jieer's childish talk, with a gentle smile in her eyes, "You are right, my brother must be very powerful to protect his sister and brother."

Jie Kun was soon thrown to the ground, but he quickly got up again, and his fighting spirit was still high.

Su Xinyi was thinking about making him a handy weapon. Jie Kunding from the Pingning Guard had prepared one for him, but it was not easy to bring it with him to the capital.

When she thought of this, she asked someone to invite Zhang Jian.

After hearing this, Zhang Jian smiled and said, "This is not a big deal, Crown Princess. I don't know what kind of weapon you want to make. Swords, spears, swords, and halberds must have a certain shape."

Su Xinyi carefully observed Jie Kun and found that his usual moves were more like using a knife, so she said, "Just make a knife, about this long, and the arc of the blade should be slightly deeper..."

Zhang Jian remembered it firmly and turned away.

After Jie Kun finished fighting with others, he glanced at the plum blossom pile. Unfortunately, he was short in his calves now, so he was really powerless.

Su Xinyi was amused by it and waved him over, "Do you practice this at home?"

Then she poured him a cup of hot tea to quench his thirst, and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Jie Kun was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't avoid it. He lowered his head to drink tea and nodded when he heard it.

"This is for adults, you can't use it. Later I'll have someone make a set for children. What do you think?"

Xie Kun shook his head, "Sixth Aunt, don't bother me, I'll be back after a few days..."

"Do you want it?" Su Xinyi rarely interrupted Xie Kun and asked him.

Xie Kun looked up at the Crown Princess.

Su Xinyi looked at him and did not move his eyes away.

One big and one small, four eyes collided with each other. I don’t know how long it took, but Su Xinyi heard Xie Kun spit out one word, "Think."

"Say what you want, don't make excuses to refuse. I am your aunt, not an outsider, and I don't need hypocritical politeness." Su Xinyi said.

After saying that, he ordered to the delphinium: "Have someone add a set of plum blossom stakes for children here."

"Yes, Crown Princess." Delphinium bowed in agreement, then turned around to deliver the message.

Xie Kun put down the tea cup in his hand. Although he was sitting there politely, his eyes kept turning.

Su Xinyi said: "If you want to play, just go."

Xie Kun hesitated and looked sideways at Sister Jun.

Su Xinyi said again: "Sister Jun is here to talk to me."

Xie Kun felt that no matter what he was thinking, the Crown Princess could guess it.

Su Xinyi watched Xie Kun turn around and leave, curled up her lips, and said to Sister Jun, "Shall we go over there and play on the swing?"

Sister Jun happily agreed. She held her aunt's hand and said as she walked: "Aunt, you are just like my father. My father also built a swing for me, not far from where my brother practices martial arts. In the summer, Weave a garland and it will look beautiful and fragrant.”

"Did your father pierce it for you?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile.

"Yes, my mother didn't pierce me because she thought I was causing trouble for my brother."

Su Xinyi laughed, "Are you making trouble?"

Sister Jun stopped talking, her eyes flying around.

Su Xinyi was so happy that she asked Sister Jun to sit on the swing while she watched from the side.

Sister Jun's laughter soon reached Xie Kun. Su Xinyi looked at him and looked back, then started wrestling with someone again.

"Princess."

When Su Xinyi heard Grandma She's voice, she turned around and said with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Aunt She took a step forward and said, "Please come over to Yuanhui Palace. Something happened to Concubine Li."

Su Xinyi was stunned when he heard this, "What happened to Concubine Li?"

"The Queen beat Concubine Li."

Su Xinyi:......
