- #357 - 357: Digging a hole for Su Xinyi in front of His Majesty
Today, Concubine Li is not as domineering as before. She seems to have returned to the humble and low-key Li Guifei that everyone praised before. Even her expression towards Su Xinyi is much gentler. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸𝑜𝓂
Su Xinyi felt that something was not good. Concubine Li like this was not easy to deal with.
Concubine Ruan Ming was obviously restless, especially since Concubine Li was always talking to her today. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.
The queen sat at the top and glanced at Concubine Li. There was a trace of disgust in her eyes that was not easily noticed. But she said with a smile: Concubine, there is no need to worry. Prince Xiang will get married soon. During these days, You should also pay more attention to the affairs at Prince Xiang’s Mansion. I heard that Aunt Fu, who was sent to Zhuangzi, was brought back. Is this the case?
Concubine Li’s expression did not change. After hearing the Queen’s words, she turned her head and said softly with a smile: To answer the Queen’s question, Fuyun’s child went to Zhuangzi to get some fresh air before because of his poor health. Now he is almost done with it. She brought the person back. After all, she saved King Xiang’s life, which is different from ordinary people.
When he took Fuyun as his concubine, His Majesty didn’t say anything, so Concubine Li was naturally not afraid of the empress’ embarrassment.
Fu Yun was able to gain a foothold in Prince Xiang’s Mansion only because of the grace of saving his life. How much Concubine Li hated these words at first, but now she feels that the weight of these words is more important.
Su Xinyi only found it funny when she heard this. At first, Concubine Li wanted to kill Fu Yun, but now she took the initiative to bring up some life-saving grace. She just wanted Fu Yun to return home and fight You Xiangzhi in the ring.
However, Fuyun is quite powerful. The incident at Yuling’an failed to drag her down before, but now she has returned to Prince Xiang’s Mansion through Youxiangzhe’s incident.
When it comes to matters at Prince Xiang’s residence, Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming both keep their mouths shut and will never get involved easily. The Crown Princess Su Xinyi naturally followed suit and became a mascot with a smile.
However, just because Su Xinyi didn’t take the initiative to interfere, it didn’t mean that Concubine Li would let it go easily.
Speaking of which, Miss You and the Crown Princess are relatives and will be a family in the future. Miss You doesn’t understand the rules in the palace, so the Crown Princess needs to give her a heads up. Concubine Li looked at Su Xinyi with a sincere smile. He said, After all, you are all young people, so you have something to say.
As soon as these words came out, the palace was quiet for a moment.
The queen glanced at Concubine Li displeasedly, but did not speak immediately. Instead, she looked at Su Xinyi to see how she would respond. After all, Su Xinyi’s temperament was not one to suffer.
Concubine Qi Xian and Concubine Ruan Ming were even more arrogant and did not dare to express themselves. They now wished that nothing would happen and they could just wait peacefully for their son to marry his daughter-in-law. Now that Concubine Li Gui is facing the Crown Princess, what can they do to avoid causing trouble? Enough.
Su Xinyi raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Li. There was no hint of anger on her face, but she spoke more sincerely than Concubine Li, Speaking of which, Concubine Li grew up in the capital and has been in the harem for many years, but I have only returned to Kyoto a few years ago. It’s only been a year, and I’m afraid the imperial concubine knows more about the affairs of the Pei family than I do. It’s not that His Highness doesn’t care about blood and family ties, it’s really the Pei family’s actions that are chilling. Speaking of which, it’s not that they are far away, or that Yin and Yang are separated, so We have a close relationship, but His Highness has not received letters from his family for more than ten years, and has never had any contact with him. Don’t you think it’s funny to talk about blood ties now?”
Even though Concubine Li had experienced Su Xinyi’s straight punches, she never expected that she would speak so harshly this time, even moving out the yin and yang, and the look on her face was almost unbearable.
Su Xinyi didn’t care about Concubine Li’s face. Since she wanted to threaten people with some kind of family ties, she naturally slapped her back without mercy.
Blood and family ties must come and go. In her previous life, she was so arrogant that she would not have encountered difficulties in using blood and family ties to threaten the people of the Duke of Qi’s mansion. She did not give the people of the Duke of Qi’s mansion the affection of relatives, so naturally she would not ask others to treat her. What she pays for.
But if people like Concubine Li talk about blood and family ties, they are worthy of it!
The blood and family ties are fake, but wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail Dong Gong is real.
The Crown Princess is still young and vigorous, and the right and wrong of what happened in the past cannot be determined at a glance. Now that we meet again, what unsolved knots do the family have? Li Guifei looked at Su Xinyi and said.
She knew what the prince didn’t like and what Su Xinyi cared about, so she wouldn’t let them relax.
Su Xinyi looked at Concubine Li with a look of sudden realization, The concubine is really open-minded. No wonder she has brought Aunt Fu back now. It seems that the concubine also hopes that Prince Xiang’s wife and concubines will be harmonious. After all, they will all be one family in the future.
Fuyun was like a knife in Concubine Li’s heart. It would hurt anyone who hit her. If he didn’t hate You Xiangzhi even more, Fuyun would never be able to return to Prince Xiang’s Mansion again in this life.
Listening to Su Xinyi talking about the harmony between wives and concubines, he almost punched her in the face.
Concubine Ruan Ming shut her mouth in shock. She always felt that the Crown Princess was a little murderous today. It seemed that Concubine Li’s previous words had indeed angered the Crown Princess.
Although there is no official statement about You Xiangzhe’s matter, who still doesn’t know what the Wu’an Houfu’s original plan was. It was to send someone to the East Palace without any hope of entering the harem, but as a result, they couldn’t enter the harem either. In the end, King Xiang became the unlucky man.
Now what kind of blood relationship does Concubine Li want the Crown Princess to care about? If the Marquis of Wu’an and the You family had cared about the family relationship with the Crown Prince, how could they have done such an immoral thing?
Concubine Li was obviously going to slap Dong Gong in the face, so it was not surprising that the Crown Princess slapped her back.
With a smile in her eyes, the queen looked at everyone and said, Everyone has their own destiny. Family love cannot be forced. Concubine, don’t you think so?
Concubine Li took a breath and listened to the Queen’s obvious words in favor of Su Xinyi. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart, put on an indifferent smile on her face, and spoke slowly, The Queen is right, I just said it casually. It’s just a sentence, I didn’t expect the Crown Princess to care so much.”
Su Xinyi chuckled and said, My dear concubine, I have always been a serious person and I made you laugh.
Okay, don’t say anything anymore, the newcomer is coming soon. The queen glanced at everyone and made a conclusion.
Concubine Li actually closed her mouth, and Su Xinyi looked at her with an extremely uncomfortable expression.
Not long after, King Wu and Princess Wu entered Yuanhui Palace. The two newlyweds were dressed up today and knelt in front of the queen to salute and greet her. Princess Wu also served tea respectfully.
The Queen took it and took a sip before putting it down. She admonished the newlyweds for a few words, then smiled and asked someone to bring it as a meeting gift to express her gratitude to Princess Wu.
The queen then looked at the two of them and said, Concubine Ruan Ming raised King Wu. She has no credit but hard work. Please give Concubine Ruan Ming a cup of tea today.
Ji Yun couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this. Obviously, he had not expected such a thing before, and couldn’t help but glance at King Wu.
King Wu was also surprised, but he immediately knew that the queen was trying to show dignity to his mother and concubine, so he immediately knelt down to thank her. Ji Yun was stunned and quickly knelt down as well.
The queen waved her hand, Go.
Another palace servant brought tea. King Wu and Princess Wu walked to Concubine Ruan Ming to serve tea. Ji Yun took the tea and curtsied, Concubine, please drink tea.
King Wu was slightly stunned when he saw Ji Yun’s movements, then pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ruan Mingfei hurriedly smiled and took the tea, took a sip, and took out the prepared greeting gift. Although she wanted to say something, she still swallowed it in front of so many people.
At this time, Nanny Zhao stepped forward and took Princess Wu to see Concubine Li Gui and Concubine Qi Xian one by one, and finally led her to Su Xinyi.
Su Xinyi and Ji Yun were equals, so they naturally didn’t need to serve tea. However, since she was the princess, Ji Yun still greeted the King of Wu with courtesy.
Su Xinyi responded with a smile, and then asked someone to bring out the gift for Ji Yun.
Ji Yun thanked him and returned to King Wu.
Su Xinyi glanced at Ji Yun again, but Ji Yun lowered his head slightly and couldn’t really see anything, but she always felt that something was not right about the young couple.
It’s just a little feeling, nothing can be seen from King Wu’s face, and Ji Yun lowers his head and can’t see any clues.
At this time, the palace official informed that the prince had arrived with several princes.
Su Xinyi looked towards the entrance of the palace, and sure enough she saw His Highness arriving with Prince Jing, Prince Rong and Prince Xiang. After entering the palace, he first bowed to the Queen and then greeted several concubines before taking their seats.
Yan Junchu sat directly next to Su Xinyi, and Su Xinyi couldn’t help but look sideways at His Highness.
Yan Junchu smiled at her, and Su Xinyi seemed to see the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming, and the previous unhappiness in her heart was swept away.
The two people looked at each other and smiled. Almost everyone present saw it. Concubine Li was thoughtful, while Prince Rong rolled his eyes. Who didn’t have a wife yet, and soon he would have one too.
King Jing didn’t feel anything at all and sat directly next to Concubine Qi Xian with a smile on his face.
Su Xinyi felt a hidden gaze sweeping over her. She subconsciously looked back, but saw nothing.
What’s wrong? Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi with a strange expression and asked in a lower voice.
It’s nothing. Su Xinyi didn’t want to say anything in front of everyone.
The queen looked at everyone and smiled and said: Today is a good day, so we all stayed to have dinner. After that, the queen asked the palace people to go to Zichen Hall to invite His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn’t like to come to the harem recently, so it’s hard to say no.
There was still some time before lunch, and Su Xinyi didn’t want to sit here and be a fool, so she got up and went to find Aunt Zhao, asking about lunch and going out to take a breather.
Looking at the Crown Princess like this, Aunt Zhao lowered her head and smiled, Princess, why don’t you go to the Imperial Garden for a walk. His Royal Highness happens to be here too, so it’s rare for you to go with us.
Just as Su Xinyi was hesitating, she heard footsteps coming from behind, and then heard His Highness speak, What mama said is that I am usually busy with errands, and it is rare for me to play with the princess, so why not take a walk today?
Su Xinyi:……
Aunt Zhao smiled and left as soon as she saw him. She didn’t want to stay and be an eyesore.
Yan Junchu watched Aunt Zhao leave, stood in front of Su Xinyi and asked, Who made you unhappy?
Su Xinyi said: Who can make me unhappy?
That’s right, the lonely princess is invincible and unbeatable.
Su Xinyi:……
Seeing Su Xinyi smile, the prince said, Shall we go for a walk?
Su Xinyi shook his head, Everyone is here, we can’t hide out, so we should go back.
If King Rong knew about it, he would definitely jump up and laugh at her again.
Yan Junchu used the cover of his sleeves to squeeze Su Xinyi’s hand. Su Xinyi looked around subconsciously, her face turning red.
Yan Junchu was even more happy. He watched Xin Yi take back his hand, and then returned to the main hall with her.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard King Rong’s voice coming over him, Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Is there anything we can’t listen to?
Su Xinyi was not used to King Rong, so she glanced at him and said directly: Don’t listen to what’s inappropriate, seventh brother should know, right? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know now, you will know when you get married.
Hum, let Zhu Chanyi take care of you when the time comes!
King Rong clicked his tongue and said, This is not in the East Palace. What can’t we listen to? It’s not you who is suing me again later, right?
Prince Rong and Su Xinyi started to quarrel, and Concubine Li had a smile on her face. She turned to look at the Queen and said, Queen, I didn’t expect that the relationship between Prince Rong and the Crown Princess is much more harmonious now than before.
The Queen listened to Concubine Li’s words that were kind on the surface but had a hidden meaning. She smiled without changing her expression and said: Prince Rong has always escaped. Neither I nor Your Majesty can do anything about her. The eldest brother, the Crown Prince, also favors him. There is nothing I can do. Let the Crown Princess control her.
Concubine Li:…
You don’t brag like this. A few years ago, the relationship between the Crown Prince and Prince Rong was simply incompatible. Why didn’t you say that at that time?
On the other side, Su Xinyi and the prince came in and sat down. Su Xinyi, with his sharp ears, happened to hear this and looked at King Rong with a smile.
King Rong’s alarm sounded. Su Xinyi must have had no good intentions. He immediately sneaked to his elder brother’s side and said seriously, Brother, I happen to have something to discuss with you, that is, the matter of the inner court. Are you free? Let’s say a few words to our brothers. ?”
Su Xinyi rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to roll his eyes. This excuse was really not very good. He could take care of whatever happened in the Inner Palace.
King Rong happened to look over and caught Su Xinyi rolling her eyes but not rolling them back. He was immediately angry and said, I really have something serious, you still don’t believe me?
Seventh brother, why don’t you come and listen? Su Xinyi smiled.
King Rong said angrily: Now that the Inner Palace has taken over the affairs of the Six Shang Bureau, many procurement matters are now in chaos. I made a trip from the south this year. I can really help with this matter.
Hey, you are quite capable now. Why didn’t you tell me this?
His Majesty’s voice suddenly came, and everyone hurriedly got up to pick him up.
The emperor walked in slowly and glanced at everyone, Everyone, get up. There is no need to be polite at today’s family banquet. After saying that, he looked at King Rong and said, Tell me and listen. I want to hear what you say about flowers. Come here.
King Rong:……
Su Xinyi pursed her lips to suppress a smile and let you blow.
King Rong rolled his eyes and immediately approached His Majesty and said, Father, this matter is not my business alone. You have to ask your sister-in-law about this, she knows more than me.
Su Xinyi looked at King Rong. He was talking nonsense without a single word of truth. How dare he dig a hole for her in front of His Majesty?
