422: Tit-for-Tat

Su Xinyi was immediately amused by Zhu Chanyi's words, and looked at her and said, "Yes, I also think it's a dream, but if they are not sure, how dare they do it?"

Zhu Chanyi's face was gloomy, and she spoke for a long time: "Yes, the Li family also has Li Taishi, a veteran of three dynasties and an important minister of the court. Even His Majesty treats Li Taishi very well. With him, Li Ji might really be able to return to Beijing. I'm just curious about how they can make His Majesty forgive him."

Su Xinyi couldn't think of it, but she remembered what Li Qingyi said at the time. She just said that the Li family wanted to make a move to get Li Ji back, but didn't say how to get him back.

From Li Qingyi's point of view, being able to remind her of this sentence is already a betrayal of the Li family, which is also a huge burden for her. Su Xinyi naturally can't ask Li Qingyi what the Li family is going to do.

"We can't just watch this matter like this, can we?" Zhu Chanyi was worried. Of the two sons of Li Taishi, Li Ji was much more ruthless than Li Yan. If he could really return to Beijing, it would definitely be a good thing for Concubine Li and Prince Xiang.

But it would not be good news for them.

"Of course not." Su Xinyi nodded, "This New Year is really lively."

Zhu Chanyi looked depressed. She didn't expect that there would be so many things after getting married, one after another, rushing out.

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Chanyi had no idea for a while. There was no way for military generals to deal with civil officials.

Su Xinyi glanced in the direction of Yuanhui Palace, "We can only wait for news from the Queen."

Zhu Chanyi frowned tightly. She didn't think there was any difference after getting married before, but now when she encountered these things, she suddenly realized that it would be much more convenient if Prince Rong was in the capital.

Thinking of this, she looked at Su Xinyi again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also not in the capital, but in contrast, Xinyi was able to do so many things without making a sound or making a fuss. Not only did she take down Xu Yurong and Master Minghui, she was also able to force Prince Yi to retreat step by step, and there was no sound from His Majesty.

Whether His Majesty knew or not, Xinyi could make His Majesty not intervene, not ask, or pretend not to know, but she couldn't do it anyway.

They were both married and lived in the back house, and they both encountered things, but why was there such a big difference?

At this moment, Zhu Chanyi suddenly had the idea of ​​​​being motivated. It was not good to be set off by Xinyi like a fool. That would be too embarrassing.

Seeing Zhu Chanyi's indignation, Su Xinyi smiled and said to her: "Take a little time to tell you a good news."

"Can there be good news?"

This life is really exciting, Zhu Chanyi doesn't expect good news.

"Of course." Su Xinyi smiled with her eyes narrowed. It was really rare to see Zhu Chanyi so worried. "Prince Rong and his men may come back before the New Year."

"Really?" Zhu Chanyi's eyes lit up. What she thought was coming true. She was looking forward to her own prince coming back quickly. It would be so convenient to do some things.

"It's possible."

"Oh, you said it's possible, then it's quite possible. This is really great." After Zhu Chanyi was overjoyed, she suddenly looked at Su Xinyi again, "Have you investigated the case of the granary? Why is there no movement from Prince Yi? Is it not related to him?"

This is impossible.

After such a big commotion, if Prince Yi is unscathed in the end, wouldn't it make them a joke?

"I don't know the specific circumstances of the case, but since it is said that there is a possibility of returning, it should be that things are going well. Let's wait." Su Xinyi said.

She is not so powerful that she can go out of the capital to take a look, so she can only wait for news and wait for people to come back.

Zhu Chanyi was not disappointed after hearing this, and she felt relieved. "It's better to come back than to come back after the New Year. Finally, there is hope."

Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi smiled at each other. Yes, there is hope.

Zhu Chanyi quickly stood up and said goodbye. She would not go to Yuanhui Palace today, and would visit the queen tomorrow.

Listening to what Su Xinyi said, the queen was afraid that she would compete with Concubine Li today. As a daughter-in-law, it would be difficult for her to watch. She could only stick her head out after the storm passed.

Even though she is the daughter-in-law of the queen, if she hits the wind, she will still be scolded.

The news from the harem did not come so quickly. Su Xinyi arranged people and went to accompany the two children.

The small plum blossom pile was half installed. Su Xinyi watched from a distance as Xie Kun was talking to the craftsmen. She did not go over, but just watched from a distance.

When Nanny She saw someone, she led Shi Yun over. Su Xinyi looked at Sister Yun and asked, "Are you tired?"

Shi Yun was really tired, so she nodded, "Aunt, are you tired?"

Su Xinyi looked at Shi Yun's clean and sincere eyes. Children at this age are really good, and her eyes are full of sincerity, "Aunt is not tired, let Nanny take you back to change clothes and eat something, and I will take your brother back to have lunch later."

Shi Yun was really tired, and she couldn't care about her brother at this moment, so she nodded and agreed directly.

Nanny She couldn't hold Shi Yun at this age, so she asked Shi Yun's wet nurse to come and hold her, and the group went back to the main hall first.

There was a lot of noise here, and Jie Kun heard it, so he turned around and saw Su Xinyi and ran over, "Sixth Aunt, are you back?"

"Yes, I'm back, come to see how your plum blossom pile is doing?" Su Xinyi said as she walked forward.

Xie Kun followed her and said directly: "I asked them to install it the way I was used to."

After speaking, he glanced at the Crown Princess carefully from the corner of his eyes.

Su Xinyi saw this and thought for a moment, her eldest brother-in-law had all his thoughts reserved for his son. This boy was too smart and too cunning.

"It's just for you. Of course you have to use it smoothly. It's done well." Su Xinyi responded as if he didn't take it seriously. When she went over to take a look, she was quite surprised. Kun glanced at him.

There was a hint of pride in Xie Kun's eyebrows that he couldn't even hide, which made Su Xinyi laugh.

Xie Kun felt a little embarrassed and asked directly, "Auntie, what do you think?"

"Okay, pretty good. Your legs are very strong. How long have you been practicing this kind of pile?" The plum blossom piles are all the same, but some people will adjust the distance and height according to their own circumstances. This is obvious in front of me. It's different than what most children use, and it's been adjusted.

"More than a year."

Su Xinyi frowned slightly, "I'll ask the imperial doctor to look at your legs tomorrow."

Xie Kun immediately said: "I'm fine."

"You can't tell whether something is okay or not. You have to listen to the imperial doctor." Su Xinyi glanced at Jie Kun's legs. They looked fine. However, this kid likes to pretend. He doesn't know if he is really okay or pretending to be okay. .

It is very hard work to practice leg skills.

Su Xinyi knows this very well. Back then, she not only practiced plum blossom pile, but was also often chased by wild beasts in the mountains. This is how she developed her leg skills.

She wanted to live a better life at that time, and Jie Kun had enough food and clothing, so there was no need to work so hard.

Su Xinyi saw Xie Kun looking a little uneasy and flicked his little head, "Go back with me first. You have to know that you are still young and it is the time when you are growing. Excessive wear and tear will be detrimental to you. You have to practice martial arts step by step, don’t do it too hard, do you understand?”

Xie Kun turned into that smiling look again, "I know."

Su Xinyi glanced at him thoughtfully, but without saying anything this time, she took the people back and asked him to change his clothes, wash his hands and face, and then the three of them started to have lunch.

Sister Jun, who was very young, had some food and fell asleep after eating. Su Xinyi asked the imperial physician to check Jie Kun's pulse, but she did not go there to prevent Jie Kun from becoming more nervous.

When the imperial doctor came over to take his pulse, she inquired carefully and found that, as she expected, Jie Kun's legs needed to be nourished. This child was too diligent, and martial arts training was a bumpy and bumpy thing. If he didn't pay attention, he would be easily left behind. It's an old injury.

Su Xinyi asked the imperial doctor to come over and give Jie Kun acupuncture and massage every day, starting today.

After a while, I heard Xie Kun's exclamation, but the voice was soon suppressed again. Su Xinyi smiled and went to take a lunch break.

When I woke up, Grandma She was waiting.

Su Xinyi washed and changed clothes, then looked at Nanny She and asked, "Nanny, is there any news over there?"

Aunt She nodded, "Yes."

Su Xinyi put the hairpin in place in front of the mirror, stood up, sat down in the outer hall, and asked Aunt She to sit down as well. Then she said, "Nanny, tell me."

Mammy She sat on the stool, half-leaning her body, and said: "I heard that Concubine Li asked to see Your Majesty today to sue the Empress for being rude and beating someone. Then the Empress also went to the Zichen Palace, where she happened to be killed." The imperial concubine was standing there, and the two of them started fighting in front of His Majesty. "

Su Xinyi was so shocked that she even stopped drinking tea. She looked at Nanny She and said, "How many years have the Queen and Concubine Li been blushing before His Majesty?"

"That's not true." Aunt She nodded, "The Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace. She always maintains her identity and will not do such rude things. Concubine Li claims to be from a famous family, and there is a Grand Master Li in the family. She has always looked down on her. The empress is from a humble background, and she always behaves like a lady in front of His Majesty, never making a mistake. "

now it's right.

In the last life, these two people had been fighting like this all their lives, refusing to break up. They fought with swords and swords in private, but in front of His Majesty, they acted like harem sisters living in harmony.

It seems that what Li Qingyi said is true. Li Ji is coming back, and Concubine Li is about to start paving the way for His Majesty.

He is also really willing to give up.

However, it can be seen from Li Guifei's behavior that in the past two years without Li Ji, Li Guifei and Prince Xiang have gone from bad to worse. Li Guifei really needs this brother to come back to advise her, and she also needs someone from the Li family who can fully support them. Mother and son running around.

"What's the result?" Su Xinyi was more concerned about this.

Aunt She shook her head, "I don't know. I don't dare to ask about the situation in the Zichen Palace. But I heard that after the Queen and Concubine Li came out of the Zichen Palace, they both looked a little bad. I really guess How can your Majesty deal with it?"

Not pretty?

Su Xinyi wondered what your Majesty meant by this?

She couldn't guess, but the empress knew that Concubine Liu was trying to get Li Ji to return to Beijing, and she would definitely stop her.

Li Ji was greedy for so much in the salt business, where did the money go?

In those years, Concubine Li and her son lived a very comfortable and comfortable life in the palace. It was definitely not possible to live by just relying on rules.

The queen finally hoped that Li Ji would fall. It would be better for her and King Rong to get along better. Of course, she couldn't let Li Ji come back.

Su Xinyi was not willing either.

Now that the Queen is in front, she only needs to provide support from behind, and let's see.

After Su Xinyi settled down, he wrote a letter to His Highness. This reply has never been written. Now that the matter is clearer, it will be easier to write.

After telling the Li family's affairs in detail, Su Xinyi suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness when she put down her pen.

After she married His Highness, it seemed that they had been apart for a long time. She felt that she should be used to it, but now she always felt that something was missing.

She sealed the letter and asked Lian Qiao to deliver it to Zhang Jian, who then sent someone to deliver it.

Within two days after the letter was sent out, Su Xinyi was quite lively in the East Palace with the two children. Jie Kun was a fearless person with a sweet mouth and bright eyes. Every two days, everyone in the East Palace liked him very much, and many small things that had never appeared before appeared in the martial arts field, all for him to play with.

This kid is really good at getting along.

Su Xinyi had just returned from the martial arts arena. She sat down and drank a sip of water when Cui Que came in and said, "The first lady and mother are coming to visit me?"

Su Xinyi had just returned to her parents' home a few days ago. Now she came again. She looked at Cui Que, "Are you here to pick up the two children?"

Cui Que shook her head, "I didn't hear that from them."

Not to pick up the children?

Su Xinyi asked someone to pass on the message, asking her aunt and mother to come over to talk in the afternoon.

The first lady and the fourth lady came very quickly. Su Xinyi had just woken up from her nap and hadn't dressed up yet when they arrived.

Luckily, they were family members, so Su Xinyi wore a casual dress to greet them.

After welcoming the guests in and sitting them down, Su Xinyi saw that her mother and aunt looked unhappy, so she asked, "Aunt, mother, did something happen at home?"

The first lady and the fourth lady looked at each other, and the fourth lady spoke first, "I have something to tell you. I wanted to have a good New Year before talking about it, but I was afraid that something would come up halfway through, and it would not be good if you were unaware of it."

Su Xinyi was confused after hearing this. It seemed like a big deal, but what big deal could happen to her family?

"Did the brothers encounter something? I was thinking about meeting and talking to the brothers when I send the children back in a few days." Su Xinyi thought it was just them, and she couldn't think of anyone else who would have a problem.

"It's not your brothers." The eldest lady took over the conversation, "something happened to your second sister-in-law's family."

"Second sister-in-law?" Su Xinyi's mind first flashed the shadow of her second brother Su Qi, and then a not very familiar figure floated across her mind. She was not familiar with this second sister-in-law, and had never met her properly, so she didn't even know her face clearly.
