462: Roll Together

In the blink of an eye, the day of the selection arrived. The beauties from all over the country had already come to Beijing for selection, and the first round of selection had begun.

Su Xinyi stayed safely in the East Palace. She received the news from Tu Jingjia that she had attended three banquets, and Su Xinyi smiled.

The prince was busy with the caravan. Because Mu Xing had already gone to the Three Thousand Camp, they had to be reorganized. The two cousins ​​also rushed back from Huaining. Su Xinyi just met them yesterday. They had a good year.

His Majesty originally intended to adjust the caravan. Su Xinyi knew that this kind of thing was inevitable. His Highness and Prince Rong’s people should be replaced a lot. She didn’t know how to arrange the two cousins ​​now, and could only wait for news.

If they were also replaced from the caravan, they couldn’t let people make a wasted trip. She was thinking about discussing with His Highness whether they could arrange individual errands for the two cousins.

Just as I was thinking about it, His Highness came back. Su Xinyi went to meet him, "So early today?"

Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "With less things to do, I can relax a little. How was your day?"

"Very good."

As they talked, they entered the palace, and Su Xinyi mentioned the caravan.

After Yan Junchu sat down, he looked at Xinyi and said, "It's not settled yet, but it should be soon. Do you have any plans?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "My two cousins ​​have already come from Huaining. I think the caravan will be adjusted this time. If they don't need to travel with the caravan, I want to find them something to do in the capital. It's not good to let them go back empty-handed."

"It shouldn't be. The caravan will be adjusted this time, but a few people at the helm will still stay. Pang Lan on my side should still follow, and the people on Prince Rong's side will withdraw. My two cousins ​​are steady in their work, so my father should stay."

Su Xinyi felt a little relieved when he heard what His Highness said. It's not easy for people from Huaining to join the army and make meritorious deeds, but they can't just stay idle. Joining the caravan is another way out. As long as the caravan grows slowly, there will also be a future.

Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi's slightly frowned face and smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Su Xinyi said, "Nothing, it's been so long since we fought with the Tatars, I wonder if they will behave themselves this year."

Yan Junchu's mouth twitched, "Probably not."

The two looked at each other helplessly. Unless the Tatar tribes were completely subdued, these wolves on the grassland would go south as long as they got the chance.

However, it was not easy for the court to really subdue the Tatars. First of all, silver was a big item, and the treasury was empty.

After the Cold Food Festival, it was the Flower Festival in a blink of an eye. Su Jingmo had already finished his confinement and had time to visit Su Xinyi. He also called Su Xixian and Su Chaoyan.

Su Xinyi seldom went out these days, so she stayed quietly in the East Palace. The harem was busy with the selection of concubines, and the Queen Mother did not let her go there to worry. She took Concubine Li, Concubine Ruan Ming and Concubine Qi Xian to look at people. When the selection was almost done, Su Xinyi and others would probably go through the motions.

The sisters gathered together and it was very lively. Su Jingmo said, "Second sister was going to come, but unfortunately the lady in Dingnanbo's house was sick."

"How is the lady? Is she okay?"

Su Jingmo said, "Ruchun is hot and cold, and the old lady caught a cold. She is old and has to suffer a little. Fortunately, the problem is not serious."

Su Xinyi was relieved, "That's good. I'll ask Madam She to go and see for me later."

Since she knew it, she had to go this trip for the sake of her second sister.

Su Xixian sat on the soft pillow and said, "Should we go over to visit?"

After getting married, you can't be the master of the house like you are in the boudoir and don't care about anything. You have to be careful about the interpersonal relationships between each household.

Su Chaoyan also looked over.

Su Jingmo waved his hand, "We don't need to disturb the old lady from recuperating. Sixth sister is different from us. After all, she is the Crown Princess. She knows that sending people to visit is to give Second Sister face. If we, the younger generation, go, it will be a pure disturbance."

Su Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Fourth sister also has a point."

Su Xinyi looked at Su Jingmo, "Fourth sister is now a mother, and she is more thorough in doing things."

Su Jingmo said with a wooden face, "Now I finally know that the better you marry, the more things you have to do and the more rules you have. It's really not easy to be the wife of the prince. I am so troubled, and you, the Crown Princess, must be even more tired."

Su Xinyi really didn't feel tired. Many things in the East Palace were taken over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after he came back. She is pregnant now, and she will not go out easily to banquets. With her status, ordinary people don't dare to invite her to their homes easily, so she is still relaxed.

Seeing Su Xinyi's expression, Su Jingmo sighed, and then asked worriedly: "Everyone is talking about the talent show outside. What are your plans for the Eastern Palace? You can't really not let anyone in, right? There are some rumors outside now, you have to be careful."

"Rumors?" It was the first time Su Xinyi heard it, "What's going on?"

"Well, I don't know who said that you are domineering and don't allow new people to enter the Eastern Palace. It also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is controlled by you, and the implication is that he has bad intentions." Su Jingmo said in a deep voice.

The Crown Prince is controlled by her, this is really deadly.

Su Xixian and Su Chaoyan looked at each other, and then said: "I also heard similar words, but you don't have to be afraid, Sixth Sister, those villains may have gotten some news, and they are trying to force you to relent and take the initiative to pick people in." Donggong. You don’t have to follow them, otherwise you won’t be following the wishes of those villains.”

Su Chaoyan said with worry on her face, "But if I really don't choose anyone, Sixth Sister's reputation will be damaged."

"When did our Xiaoliu's reputation get better?"

Su Xinyi:......

Su Xixian:......

Su Chaoyan:......

Su Jingmo looked at the other three people looking directly at him and coughed lightly, "Am I telling the truth?"

Su Xinyi was happy, "That's true, but I don't have the temperament to bow down when someone forces me to do so. Don't worry, I know what I'm saying."

Su Xixian said: "Don't be impulsive. This is not outside the palace. There are strict rules in the palace. You should be careful. If Concubine Li and others get caught, this is no joke."

Su Jingmo echoed, "Otherwise, let the family think of a solution?"

Although they seem to have married well, none of them are now the head of the family and hold great power, and their words have no weight. Su Xixian is the head of the family, but Yin Ru's official position is there, and Mrs. Qianhu is in the honorary palace. Just light fallen leaves.

"No, I have my own opinions, so don't worry." Su Xinyi thought for a while and whispered to the sisters: "The Queen is angry with me, you can rest assured."

A few people's eyes lit up, it would be great to have the Queen backing them up.

Su Xinyi asked people to prepare lunch, leaving several sisters to eat, and then listened to Su Xixian say: "How to arrange the affairs of Miss Pei, Mrs. Wu Anhou is always jumping up and down outside."

"Didn't you say it was an accident?"

"Who believes it?" Su Jingmo reached out and poked the third sister, "You are just too naive. You said it was an accident, but you are just bluffing. If you think about it, it is really an accident. How can Mrs. Wu Anhou jump so hard? "

Su Chaoyan had a good temper and was not angry when he heard this. He said with a smile: "If Mrs. Wu'an Hou makes trouble again, what does it have to do with Sixth Sister? As long as Sixth Sister doesn't get involved, it will be fine."

"But Princess Rong has been dragged into it. How can the sixth sister sit idly by and ignore it? What's more, His Royal Highness Prince Rong is now following His Highness the Crown Prince, and there is a queen in the harem. If the sixth sister really doesn't care about everything, then she can't do it."

Su Chaoyan didn't think so much, and nodded after hearing what the fourth sister said, "It's just that I'm superficial."

Su Xixian smoothed things over for her sister, "Third sister doesn't like to ask about these things. It's possible that you don't know."

The palace had not yet issued the decree, and something might happen at any time. Su Xinyi naturally did not want to make it public, so he told them in a cryptic way: "With the Queen in charge of the palace, Princess Rong will not suffer any loss."

Su Xixian rolled her eyes and said cheerfully: "Oh, then someone will have to shoot himself in the foot."

Su Jingmo glanced at Su Xixian, she was a joke-loving person, but Ji Yun always made trouble for the sixth sister. If she was unlucky, she would also be willing to laugh at the joke.

The sisters had a good time, and after a few days, Su Xinyi got a message from the queen, asking her to go to Yuanhui Palace tomorrow for a formality.

Su Xinyi told Yan Junchu that night, and said with a smile: "What do you think I should do tomorrow? How many people outside are saying that they are jealous and overbearing, forcing His Highness not to accept new people."

Yan Junchu:......

"There are still such rumors?"

Su Xinyi saw His Highness' expression becoming more serious, and immediately became happy, "Just do it, I don't really care. Besides, such words will be inevitable in the future."

His Highness promised her that there would be no other people around her. Her jealous hat was firmly on her head and could not be taken off. In this case, she simply stopped taking it off.

Yan Junchu saw Xin Yi smiling so happily and heartlessly. He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, "You think about things too simply. Such a reputation cannot fall on your head. Don't worry about it. Leave this matter to me." I."

"What will your Highness do?" Su Xinyi asked curiously.

"I won't tell you now."

Su Xinyi simply stopped asking, and the two of them got together to talk. Su Xinyi took out the map, pointed to Duogan's territory and said, "King Yi transported grain out of Southern Qi from here. I always feel that it needs to be seen. Look, Mu Xing has joined the Three Thousand Battalion, and he happens to be on patrol, so I think I might as well let him go."

Yan Junchu looked down at Xin Yi, "Have you been thinking about this recently?"

"Yes, I have always been uneasy. I originally planned to let my two cousins ​​do this if they couldn't go to the caravan. Since His Highness said that they should still go to the caravan, after thinking about it, I still Let Mu Xing go, he is the best at this kind of thing."

"Are you worried that if the Tatars continue to cause trouble this year, Dogan's rearguard will not be stable?"

"Just thinking about it, but King Yi has a collusion with Duogan. Although Duogan is under the jurisdiction of Tubo, the Tubo tribes are not stable. It is not impossible if Duogan colludes with the Tatars. If I hadn't been pregnant Since I'm here, I just want to take a trip on my own. I'm no worse than Mu Xing in gathering information."

Yan Junchu raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you, a princess, take action in such a matter?"

He couldn't bear it.

"If war really breaks out, and if His Highness wants to go on an expedition, and I have given birth to a child by then, I hope His Highness can take me with him." Su Xinyi said seriously.

Yan Junchu's smile froze, and he lowered his head to meet Xinyi's eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Are you willing to leave the child in the capital?"

"With my father and the queen here, there is nothing to worry about." Su Xinyi subconsciously touched her belly. She was naturally reluctant to leave the child, but the safety of His Highness was also very important.

Yan Junchu held Xinyi's hand tightly, and after a while he said: "Even if there is a war this year, I will not be allowed to go to the battlefield again. Don't worry."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the best, it would be best. On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. Your Highness is the crown prince and there can be no mistakes.

After the two finished their meal, Yan Junchu had a rare time to accompany Xinyi for a walk to digest the food. The two slowly paced in the garden of the East Palace. In early spring, the flowers and trees sprouted tender buds, and the winter jasmine had already covered the walls. From a distance, it looked like a waterfall winding down, which was very beautiful.

"Your Highness."

Su Xinyi heard Zhang Jian's voice and stopped with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhang Jian ran over panting, "Your Highness, His Majesty summoned you."

Yan Junchu asked, "Did he say anything?"

Zhang Jian hurriedly replied, "No."

"Your Highness, go quickly." Su Xinyi said immediately.

Yan Junchu nodded, "Go back and rest after walking for a while, I'll go see my father first."

"I know, Your Highness, don't worry about me." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Yan Junchu left in a hurry, Su Xinyi frowned slightly, His Majesty rarely summoned the prince so hastily, I don't know what it is.

Su Xinyi didn't want to take a walk anymore, and walked back slowly. Before she returned to the main hall, Nanny She caught up with her.

"Crown Princess, Princess Jing wants to see you."

Tu Jingjia?

Su Xinyi said, "Please come in quickly."

She entered the main hall and waited, and soon Tu Jingjia followed Nanny She in.

"Meet the Crown Princess." Tu Jingjia stepped forward to greet her.

"Sixth brother's wife, don't be polite, sit down and talk quickly." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Tu Jingjia sat down, looked up at the Crown Princess and said, "I came in a hurry, please forgive me."

Su Xinyi said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me. In fact, our relationship is closer than others. Did something happen?"

Tu Jingjia's eyes were slightly red when she heard this, and she suppressed her turbulent thoughts and said, "Last night, the prince went to visit his mother, but on the way back, he accidentally bumped into a concubine."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, "What did he bump into?"

Tu Jingjia's face was pale, and after a while he said, "They rolled together."

Hearing the word rolled, Su Xinyi felt that something was wrong and asked, "Which concubine?"

Tu Jingjia's face became even uglier, "The sister of the Right Censor-in-Chief Yan Shao."

Yan Shao?

Su Xinyi remembered instantly, wasn't Yan Shao Shang Yuqing's husband?
