Su Xinyi 1 saw his eldest brother coming in, got up and walked over, saying, "Brother, why are you here at this time? Is there something going on at home?"
Su Yi stepped forward to greet her, "I've met the Crown Princess."
Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that being in the East Palace was not as casual as in the Duke's Mansion. She asked her brother to sit down, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.
Su Yi looked at his sister and couldn't help but smile, "Why haven't you seen the emperor's eldest grandson?"
Su Xinyi said helplessly: "Take him to Zichen Palace."
Su Yi heard this and looked at his sister, "Does Your Majesty often see the emperor's grandson?"
Su Xinyi nodded and said helplessly: "As long as the weather is good, I always run over to see him."
Su Yi was surprised and watched Su Xinyi speak slowly, "There are many rumors about this matter outside, and the family is very worried, so they asked me to come over and ask."
Su Xinyi didn't expect that it would alarm the family, so she said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty just likes Heng'er. After all, he is the first grandchild."
"Then you should be more careful. Grandpa asked me to tell you that things are better now. When your majesty has other grandchildren, the emperor's eldest grandson will probably become the target of public criticism."
Su Xinyi nodded, "I understand, I will be careful."
Su Yi was relieved to hear that her sister was willing to listen to the advice, "The emperor's eldest grandson is loved by your majesty, and the family is naturally happy for you, but it's just too much. Not to mention that now you are the only princess in the East Palace, and there will be more rumors outside. I'm afraid that the next The next draft won’t be as easy as this one, and you have to be prepared.”
Su Xinyi listened to her eldest brother's words and knew that the family was doing her best. It was just an agreement between her and His Highness, but she couldn't express it clearly to her family. It was related to the prince's face, and even her family members couldn't speak out.
Therefore, she said to her eldest brother: "I know, eldest brother should also tell his family to make them feel at ease."
Su Yi nodded, looked at his sister and said thoughtfully, "I received a letter from Su Li at home. Did you get any news here?"
"I also received a letter from cousin Su Deng. It seems that the two cousins delivered the letters separately." Su Xinyi said.
Su Yi and his family guessed that if they didn't receive a letter from Su Deng, he should be the one who wrote to Xin Yi. After hearing Xin Yi's words, he knew that their guess was correct. He looked at Xin Yi and asked directly: "What do you think?"
Su Xinyi glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, what do you think?"
Su Yi was happy, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. I thought that if I had the chance, I still wanted to go to the border to fight for the country again."
Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can't guess what His Majesty's will is in this matter. He is not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. My eldest brother has made meritorious service several times. I'm afraid you won't be able to go this time."
Su Yi was stunned, looked up at his sister and smiled: "It's rare that you still know this. I thought you would be happy if I said this."
Su Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at her eldest brother and said, "Brother, I am not a three-year-old child. Besides, I have been married to His Highness for so long, so I need to grow some brains."
Su Yi smiled happily and nodded after hearing Xin Yi's words, "That's good if you think so. My grandfather and father also guessed the same. I guess if there really is a fight this time, I may not have the chance to go there again."
Su Xinyi said: "Brother, it's good if you can think about it."
"What's wrong with this? I can't have everything taken care of by just one person. I'm quite content." Su Yi smiled. If he hadn't been pushed away by his sister, he might still be hanging around in the Royal Guards now. "Besides, if we don't have a chance this time, we may not have a chance in the future."
This is a good idea. Su Xinyi looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, do you have any other ideas?"
Su Yi knew that he couldn't hide it from his sister, "My father and grandfather thought that His Majesty might discuss the news brought back by the caravan this time at the court meeting. If so, our family and the Duke of Zheng's mansion would definitely be targeted." In addition, there are also many people walking around, obviously wanting to go out. "
Su Xinyi was silent for a moment and looked at her brother, "The news has actually spread?"
How could it be so fast?
Su Yi looked at his sister, "The caravan's letter arrived at the Zichen Palace. At that time, His Majesty was summoning several ministers to discuss matters."
Su Xinyi understood that His Majesty might have let something slip, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"It's just a matter of coming to ask for information. Since we can't hide this matter, just tell us directly." Su Xinyi said directly, "But if someone wants to take the road of the Duke's Mansion and ask the uncle to introduce him, this matter cannot be done. ”
The generals in the army are not all in harmony, and they are divided into factions, which are also in check with each other.
Naturally, this is what Your Majesty would like to see. It would be terrible if all the generals in the army were of the same mind.
Thinking of this, Su Xinyi looked at her eldest brother and said, "Anyway, our family doesn't do this kind of thing."
"Grandpa is also worried that someone will try to gain access to you. Let me remind you not to get involved in these things." Su Yi said seriously.
Su Xinyi smiled. Her family really cared about her. She nodded, "I know, I won't do such a thing." After saying this, she asked, "How is my grandfather's health now?"
"It's gradually getting better than it was in the spring. It's just that I'm getting older, and my grandfather has hidden injuries on his body. There is no better way from the Taiyuan Hospital. I can only let my grandfather worry less and take care of himself more."
Su Xinyi thought of her grandfather who passed away this spring in her previous life, and she was really content that he was still doing well now, "Then let my grandfather take good care of him, and don't let him worry about the trivial matters at home."
Su Yi listened to her sister's words and said, "My grandfather stopped doing things two years ago. Don't worry, my father and I will let my grandfather take care of himself."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he stood up and left. Before leaving, he said to Xin Yi: "There is one more thing you may not know yet. There is something going on in Prince Wu's Mansion. There were some rumors that were not good for you at the beginning, but they have been subsided."
Su Xinyi thought of Concubine Li's misdemeanor, "Is it about Concubine Pei's miscarriage?"
Su Yi nodded, "It's good that you know."
"Brother, don't worry, I know who did it." Su Xinyi said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, how is Mr. Li Er's family doing now?"
Su Yi raised her feet and was about to leave. When her sister asked about this, she stopped and looked at her and said, "Mr. Li Er's son and daughter got married one after another. It was not a big deal. Our family gave them gifts." , but the Li family didn’t accept it.”
"Second Master Li will definitely not accept them. Mrs. Li has been keeping an eye on them. If she dares to accept them, she will definitely accuse him of colluding with our family." Su Xinyi sneered.
"Don't be angry because of this matter. Miss Li married into the Zeng family. Aunt Weng asked her handkerchief to inquire about the Zeng family's affairs. Miss Li lived a good life after marrying her, so don't worry." Su Yi opened his mouth and said, "It's just that we can't have any contact with them, so we can only pretend not to know."
Li Qingyi was doing well, and Su Xinyi felt relieved. Li Ji owed her a favor in the matter. If she was really not doing well, she would have to deal with it for her.
"Miss Li is a smart person and can live a good life no matter where she goes." Su Xinyi smiled.
"On the other hand, Li Yiming's life is not good. Li Wencheng often makes trouble for him. It is difficult for others to interfere in such household matters."
Li Wencheng is Li Ji's son. Su Xinyi frowned slightly, looked at his eldest brother and said, "Li Ji only has such a son. This time he breaks with Mr. Li's family. Li Wencheng must be unhappy. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the opposite has disadvantages. It is also beneficial. If Li Wencheng is so narrow-minded and causes trouble, the road in the capital will only become narrower in the future. If Li Yiming is smart, he can use Li Wencheng as a whetstone, and the pearl will always shine. "
Su Yi only nodded, but it was difficult to discuss this matter. After all, it was a household matter of the Li family. He looked at his sister and warned, "You don't need to take things about the Li family too seriously. The second wife of the Li family made a choice in the first place. You will know what you are going to endure. When you accepted Miss Li's favor and really asked for her because of her intelligence, you would definitely use this favor. Just wait. "
Su Xinyi couldn't help but feel happy when she heard her eldest brother's old-fashioned words, "That's what the eldest brother said."
Su Yi felt a little uncomfortable when her sister smiled, and said softly: "My second uncle taught me this. Now when I have free time, I will learn something from my second and third uncles."
Su Xinyi wanted to learn. He couldn't just follow his uncle and blindly learn to be honest and honest. This person was too honest and kind, but he would let those villains take advantage of him.
After Su Yi left, Su Xinyi couldn't calm down after working for a long time.
She didn't take the rumors outside very seriously. Concubine Li just wanted to make her sick. Besides, the Li family was in troubled times right now, so she didn't dare to go too far. They were just rumors that were just based on rumors. Tree.
She is just worried about one thing. If there is really going to be an expedition, who will be the commander-in-chief of the three armies?
Duke Zheng is old and will definitely not be able to go on another expedition. As the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness has proven his ability by leading troops on expeditions before, so he may not go this time either.
Based on this calculation, it is possible that King Rong will be able to take the turn.
If King Rong leads the army, I wonder what the Queen will think?
Besides, King Rong's temperament is too out-of-the-box, and I'm afraid the courtiers will have different opinions. In this case, things will be much more complicated.
She is not a good person. If there must be someone to lead the army on the expedition, she naturally hopes that it will be someone who is close to Dong Gong, or someone who has some kind of romance with Dong Gong.
For example, Qin Guansheng.
Also, if there is a chance, it is best to let the second brother follow him to gain experience. He may not necessarily charge into battle, but he must know what it is like to actually fight.
Su Xinyi's mind was so confused that he didn't even hear the footsteps of Yan Junchu coming back.
"What are you thinking so absorbed in?"
Su Xinyi was startled, caressing her heart and looked back at His Highness. Just as she was about to speak, she realized that it was already dark in the palace and said in surprise: "So late?"
It was getting dark.
Yan Junchu asked someone to come in and light the lamp, sat next to Xin Yi and looked at her, "Why are you looking at you with such a sad face? What happened to you?"
Su Xinyi calmed down and said, "I received a letter from my cousin and met my eldest brother again."
"For the Tartars?"
"Will there be a war this time?" Su Xinyi asked, looking at His Highness.
Yan Junchu patted Xin Yi's hand and said, "It depends on whether the Tatars will invade. If they dare to invade, we will fight."
Sure enough.
Su Xinyi looked at the prince, "Who does your highness prefer to lead the army?"
"It depends on how the court decides." Yan Junchu can't say now. The game in the court is always changing rapidly.
Su Xinyi asked, "Who does Your Highness hope in your heart?"
Yan Junchu smiled, "To be honest with you, I really haven't thought about it yet."
Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, there are 48 guards in the Beijing Army. The commander of any guard is capable of taking charge of a situation on his own, but there is only one commander of the three armies, so it is really difficult to choose."
"Don't think about these things first... Hey, hasn't Heng'er been sent back yet?"
Su Xinyi was startled, and the couple looked at each other.
Yes, she was so busy thinking about these things that she actually forgot about her son.
She immediately stood up and was about to ask someone to go to the Purple Palace to take a look. Yan Junchu reached out and held her, "Don't worry, I'll ask someone to go and take a look."
Su Xinyi was stunned, and then she remembered that she was a female family member, and it was not good for someone to go to the Purple Palace. If it was spread out, it would be bad for her.
She was about to speak when she heard voices coming from outside. The two of them walked out and saw Hu Siyi holding Yan Heng back. Seeing the two of them, they hurried forward to greet them.
"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
"No need to be polite, General Manager Hu." Yan Junchu said with a smile, "Thank you for sending Heng'er back."
Hu Siyi hurriedly said he didn't dare, and carefully handed the sleeping grandson to the wet nurse, and then continued: "The grandson fell asleep after playing in the side hall of the Purple Palace. His Majesty was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would worry, so he asked the servant to bring him back."
Su Xinyi glanced at her son who was sleeping soundly in the wet nurse's arms. This child was really easy to take care of. She reached out to take the child, thanked Hu Siyi, and took her son into the palace first.
Yan Junchu was a step slower when he returned. Su Xinyi looked at him and asked, "I've never seen you fall asleep in the Purple Palace before. Did you play too hard today?"
Yan Junchu smiled and said, "Children are always different every day. You'll get used to it slowly."
Su Xinyi glanced at His Highness and said thoughtfully, "Are you hiding something from me? What did Manager Hu tell you?"
Yan Junchu glanced at Xinyi, laughed, and whispered, "Hu Siyi told me that someone recommended me to lead the army to the emperor again."
Su Xinyi was stunned, and then said, "How can this be possible?"
The crown prince of a country is not the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can he go to war just by saying so?
Besides, Master Li and Concubine Li have not given up on Prince Xiang. If His Highness goes to war again this time, it is hard to say whether Master Li and his faction will do something. This time is different from the last time.
Last time, Grand Tutor Li thought he had planned everything carefully and might not really do anything ruthless. But this time, the Li family has hit rock bottom, and if they want to make a complete comeback, they might not necessarily do something drastic.
