Once the Crown Prince Joins In - #377 - 377: Bad luck

Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace and fell asleep first. She was obviously pregnant not long ago, but she still felt sleepy. She was such an energetic person. New 69 Book Bar→69𝖘𝖍𝖚𝖝.𝖈𝖔𝖒

However, the imperial doctor said that he was in good health and it was normal to sleep.

When she got up, it was already gray outside and His Highness hadn’t come back yet. She put on her clothes and got up. When Forsythia heard the noise, she came in immediately, Princess, are you awake? Do you want to eat something now? Mammy asked the waiter to I’ll warm the bird’s nest for you.”

Su Xinyi was not hungry. She waved her hands and sat down. Forsythia immediately came over and picked up a comb to comb her hair. The white jade comb slid through her black hair. She smiled and spoke slowly, Princess, Grandma She has received some girls. Congratulations and greetings, several girls are thinking of you.

Su Xinyi smiled when she heard this. Family love is really a delicate thing. Just like in her previous life, her family was falling apart. If she changes in this life, the family will also change. Obviously, there is nothing like in her previous life. We have a close relationship, but after getting along for a few years, we are really a family now.

It is a feeling that makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

It’s useless for her to change alone, but once she changes, everyone in the family will also change. If I take a step back, the other person will also take a step back, which is amazing.

What did you say? Su Xinyi looked at herself in the mirror, with a smile on her face. This kind of happiness did not need to be disguised, it was pleasant just to hear it.

Forsythia was also obviously very happy, and said with a smile, All the girls know that His Majesty allows you to return to your parents’ home at will. The post said that when you return to the Duke’s mansion, we can all go back together to get together.

Su Xinyi nodded naturally, Did you say anything else besides this?

Forsythia thought for a while and said, I didn’t say anything. I just mentioned that the eldest son of Marquis Wu’an was negotiating a marriage with the second daughter of the Minister of War.

Which sister said that? Su Xinyi was surprised. The Marquis of Wu’an actually wanted to discuss marriage with the Minister of War?

Although she is the second daughter, this marriage is not ordinary.

She remembered that Lu Mengliang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, was not a fence-sitter. He was able to sit in this position because of his loyalty to the emperor. Now he is discussing marriage with the Marquis of Wu’an?

Does His Highness the Crown Prince know?

Fourth girl said it. Forsythia smiled.

Although several girls are married, when mentioned in private, people who leave the Duke’s Mansion still use their previous titles.

Fourth sister? Su Xinyi frowned slightly. If it was Su Jingmo who said it, then the matter should be basically settled, but no news has been released in Beijing yet.

The Changnan Marquis Mansion is a well-established family in the capital and has always had many sources of information. It is not surprising that they knew about Su Xinyi in advance.

Even though there were no signs before, now that the two families are suddenly discussing marriage, it feels a little strange no matter how you think about it.

Su Xinyi couldn’t figure out the relationship here for a while, so he had to go back and inquire more carefully.

After arranging her appearance, Su Xinyi got up and went to the outer hall. Delphinium was leading the palace servants to tidy up. When she came out, she hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then sent the palace servants out.

Su Xinyi sat on the couch near the window, looked at the delphinium and asked, Where is Aunt She?

Mammy went to the Inner Palace. I don’t know what went wrong with the repairs at Prince Jing’s Palace. The Ministry of Works found the Inner Palace, and they found Grandma She in the Inner Palace.

Su Xinyi frowned, Why is it Grandma She?

Delphinium couldn’t help but laugh and cry, Originally, the Inner Palace was looking for Nanny Zhao, but there were some things that Nanny Zhao didn’t remember clearly, so I asked Nanny She to go over and talk to them. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Su Xinyi didn’t know what to say. Repairing the palace was complicated and messy. She was in charge of this matter before because King Jing married Tu Jingjia. For Su Chaoyan’s sake, she asked her third sister to ask Tu Jingjia about the repairs. If there was any scenery in the palace that she wanted, she would change it accordingly.

This kind of thing is very common. Concubine Ruan Ming did not speak at Prince Wu’s Mansion. If she did, Su Xinyi would be accommodating. After all, it is not a big deal.

She had no friendship with King Wu, and had no contact with Ji Yun, so she naturally had to be measured and not exceed the rules.

But Princess Jing is different here. She is related to her by marriage, so no one will say anything even if she takes care of her.

If that’s the case, it would make sense to go to Grandma She.

As soon as Su Xinyi finished speaking, Grandma She came back. Su Xinyi asked her to sit down and talk, then asked what was going on.

After Mammy She sat firmly, she spoke: The small garden at Prince Jing’s Mansion was not intended to be a bridge for the Pavilion in the Lake to pass through. The total distance is only five or six feet. According to the Ministry of Works, I agreed after I got the budget.”

Su Xinyi nodded. Tu Jingjia was not very used to taking boats and was a little seasick. She also liked the scenery of the small lake in the house and wanted to plant some lotus roots to enjoy the lotus flowers, which she could eat and see. However, she didn’t like taking boats, so she wanted to fight. It was just a wooden bridge, and it was only five or six feet away. It was not a big deal, and it was within the budget for repairing the palace, so the matter was settled.

The craftsmen who were working on the construction below made the decision without giving any reply. They made a curved corridor from the direct wooden bridge. The budget is not enough.

Su Xinyi:……

Good guy, this is someone below who wants to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha, to curry favor with the King of Wu, but also to collect the wool of the inner court, you can really imagine it.

Aunt She also found it a bit funny when she said it, It’s not a big deal. I just asked the old slave to go there to find out what the wooden bridge that I had originally planned would look like. There were all the drawings and documents at the time, but the copy from the Inner Palace was It was moved from Liu Shang’s side, and there were so many people confused that they didn’t know where to put it or if it was lost, so they asked the old slave if they had any savings here.

What happened next? Su Xinyi looked at Grandma She and asked.

Mama Zhao invited Prince Jing to come, and Prince Jing paid for the extra money from his own pocket.

Su Xinyi was happy, Now that’s good, this craftsman can’t be flattered, but let King Jing waste his money.

Grandma She also laughed, No, that craftsman is so scared that his legs are weak. He is so good at making opinions. It will be difficult for him to find a job in the capital in the future, so he will have to go out.

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, If you have thoughts that you shouldn’t have, such a person will not be used by the Inner Palace in the future.

People who are not used by the inner court will not be able to survive in the capital if word of this spreads.

Does King Rong know about this?

The old slave did not see Prince Rong when he came back, but he will know sooner or later. Grandma She said.

Su Xinyi thought about King Yirong’s temper. He was in charge of the inner court but something like this happened, and he would definitely not let it go.

Dinner time was coming soon, and Su Xinyi was thinking about whether to go ahead and ask when His Highness would be back, when he heard the voice of greeting coming from outside. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸𝑜𝓂

She got up and walked out, and the two of them met in the outer hall.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi’s smiling face and asked, What happened to make you so happy?

As soon as Su Xinyi explained the matter, Yan Junchu didn’t know what to say, I’m not timid, I dare to think and do it. However, the Ministry of Industry can allow such a person to be promoted to be the leader of the craftsmen, which shows that there are also It’s not very clean anymore, I’ll ask later.”

Su Xinyi had nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry at all. When His Highness said this, it made sense. Sure enough, she and His Highness had different concerns and saw different things.

This matter concerns the Ministry of Industry, so Su Xinyi won’t say much.

Yan Junchu went to change clothes first, and after he came over after everything was done, the two of them sat down to eat.

Why are you so plain today? Yan Junchu asked as he looked at the mostly vegetarian dishes on the table.

Su Xinyi replied, I don’t want to eat greasy food. I asked someone to stew soup for His Highness. You can go to the study to drink it later. I can’t smell the smell right now.

Yan Junchu was stunned, Are you not feeling well now? Didn’t the imperial doctor say how many days it will take?

It’s not very bad, I just don’t like the smell of oil. Grandma She said it will be different earlier or later. Su Xinyi said.

Yan Junchu nodded when he heard the words, It’s better to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look.

No need. Now I check my pulse every three days. It won’t be too late to check my pulse tomorrow and ask again. Su Xinyi said hurriedly.

For fear that the prince would be obsessed with this matter, Su Xinyi just mentioned the marriage between the Marquis of Wu’an and the Minister of War, Has Your Highness heard about this?

Yan Junchu nodded slightly, I listened a little.

What’s going on? I’ve never heard of any sign of marriage between the two families before. Su Xinyi felt that with the character of the Lu family, they would not make any move to marry into the Marquis of Wu’an.

Since this is unusual, there must be another reason.

Yan Jun’s expression was a little subtle when he first heard this, The Lu family girl met a thief on the street. Pei Xuanfan happened to be passing by and helped catch the thief. He didn’t want to knock Miss Lu down. Afterwards, the Pei family came to propose marriage, and the Lu family had no choice but to agree.

Su Xinyi:……

Pei Xuanfan was so good at catching this thief, and he managed to find such a good wife.

Looking at Xin Yi’s delicate expression, Yan Junchu smiled, Speaking of which, Pei Xuanfan is different from Wu Anhou and his wife who are working hard. He has a fairly upright temperament. He has the reputation of being a civil servant and is considered a talented person in the capital.

Su Xinyi didn’t know Pei Xuanfan well, but hearing that the prince could say this, she said, That’s okay, otherwise Miss Lu would be really…

What a bad luck.

It is precisely because he has merits, otherwise Lu Shangshu would rather risk his daughter’s reputation than agree to this marriage.

Su Xinyi shook her head, Even if Pei Xuanfan is not bad, having in-laws like Marquis Wu An and his wife is not a lucky thing.

Women have completely different ideas from men. Yan Jun’s first impression was that Pei Xuanfan was of good nature and young and promising. However, Su Xinyi had painful experience in her previous life and knew how well a married woman would live. It’s very hard.

Especially since Mrs. Wu’anhou and the Princess of Pingjing County are of the same type, this Miss Lu’s luck is really not very good.

When Yan Junchu heard this, he looked at Xin Yi and said, If he can’t protect his wife, then such a man is incompetent.

What His Highness said is that it is not necessarily impossible for a person who is incompetent at home to become an official. If this is the case, the only person who will suffer is the person who marries him.

Yan Junchu was happy, Don’t worry, I won’t let you encounter such a thing.

Su Xinyi:……

Yan Junchu patted Su Xinyi’s hand, Lu Shangshu is not an easy person to get along with. Since he agrees to this marriage, as long as he wants to protect his daughter, he can naturally do it.

Su Xinyi was startled, yes, Miss Lu Er was still different from herself. Her father died young in her previous life, and her relationship with the Duke’s Palace was average. The Princess of Pingjing County naturally felt that she was easy to bully.

But what if her father is alive?

Of course they don’t dare.

Su Xinyi was relieved and said with a smile: Your Highness is right. After another pause, he continued, This marriage is completed, will it have any impact on Your Highness?

After all, the Wu’an Houfu now openly supports Prince Xiang. After all, You Xiangzhe is about to become Princess Xiang, which makes the prince a little embarrassed.

Although His Highness doesn’t care about this, some courtiers are afraid that they will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Yan Junchu shook his head, It won’t have any big impact. After all, my relationship with the Marquis of Wu’an has always been unfamiliar. This is something everyone knows.

Su Xinyi thought the same thing. Now is not the last life. In the last life, King Rong was jumping up and competing with the prince. At that time, King Rong had the support of the queen, and his relationship with Concubine Li was not as tense as in this life. King Xiang The relationship with Prince Rong is very close. If the Marquis of Wu’an is on the opposite side of the prince, the prince’s situation will be even worse.

But this life is different. His Majesty has no intention of wavering on the position of the Crown Prince. Prince Rong and the Crown Prince are in the same boat. The Marquis of Wu’an Mansion has no big influence on His Highness the Crown Prince.

The two of them washed up and entered the tent. Su Xinyi was not sleepy for a while. She looked at His Highness and asked, Your Highness, what do you think of King Yi?

Pulling the person into his arms and holding him in his arms, Yan Junchu squeezed Su Xinyi’s hand and said calmly: I can’t see much today, but King Yi’s attitude is indeed a bit too cautious.

Su Xinyi pondered these words and then said, The same is true for Princess Yi.

The two couples looked at each other and Yan Junchu said: King Yi will stay in Beijing for a few more months. We can’t see anything right now. We will talk about it in a few days.

Su Xinyi felt that this was indeed the case. If he was really pretending and had been able to pretend for so many years, they would definitely not have noticed him for a moment. If his nature was like this, he would be able to see people’s hearts over time, and even after being in Beijing for a few months, he would be able to see a little bit of it.

There is really no need to rush to a conclusion now.

The most important thing right now is King Jing’s wedding.

Prince Jing’s wedding is the day after tomorrow. Su Xinyi is hiding in the East Palace because she is pregnant. However, Grandma She will occasionally go to Yuanhui Palace to check things out with Grandma Zhao, so she can also bring her back. Less news.

For example, Concubine Ruan Ming sent her nanny Xu to Prince Wu’s Mansion to take care of the matter. Su Xinyi said after hearing this: The Queen did say this at the time. I didn’t expect Concubine Ruan Ming to do it so quickly. She asked people to do it that day. Did you follow?

Aunt She nodded, Yes, I didn’t expect to be in such a hurry. However, Concubine Ruan Ming did this to comply with the Queen’s orders and not to neglect her duties. Secondly, Princess Wu did neglect her duty. Moreover, I heard that Princess Wu did not I sincerely admitted my mistake to Concubine Ming, but it was a bit perfunctory, which also angered Concubine Ming.

Su Xinyi didn’t know what to say. Concubine Ruan Ming was not favored in the palace, but she was King Wu’s biological mother, and the Queen would not stop Concubine Ruan Ming from teaching King Wu and managing all matters of King Wu.

What does this mean?

This shows that Concubine Ruan Ming has independent rights over everything that happens to King Wu. Ji Yun doesn’t look like a fool. How could she do such a stupid thing?

Looking at the expression on the Crown Princess’s face, Grandma She added: Mother Xu who was next to Concubine Ming did not teach Princess Wu in the past, but directly took charge of the middle minister of Prince Wu’s Mansion.

Su Xinyi:!

Is that so? Su Xinyi was really surprised this time, I don’t know what Princess Wu did or said. I’m afraid she really made Concubine Ruan Ming so angry, otherwise she wouldn’t have done this.

There is no room left, this means that Princess Wu should put her tail between her legs and be a good person.

When others marry into their husband’s family, it is only when the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law that she can be given the gift. No one knows how much suffering and sin she has endured. Only by serving her mother-in-law carefully and filially can she gain such power.

Ji Yun was different. There were no elders in Prince Wu’s mansion. Prince Wu kept a clean mind, and there were no messy concubines in the mansion. I heard that the only palace servants arranged by Concubine Ruan Ming to teach personnel affairs were also of a law-abiding nature.

I don’t know how many people envied me when I got married and became the head of the family without having my mother-in-law to tell me what to do. But she didn’t know what was going on in her mind to get herself into what she is today.

She thought that if she had married Shang Junyan in her previous life, if they could have lived in separate houses and made decisions on their own, the outcome might have been very different.

Aunt She agreed very much with what the Crown Princess said, What the Crown Princess said is that I think Princess Wu lived a comfortable life in her natal family, and she didn’t suffer any grievances after marrying into the palace. I’m afraid she doesn’t know what it takes to be a princess. No matter what responsibility you bear, after enduring this hardship, you will make progress in the future.

Su Xinyi thought about Concubine Ruan Ming’s temperament and nodded: If she corrects her mistakes after realizing her mistakes, she still has a chance to regain the power of the palace.

However, Su Xinyi’s impression of Ji Yun was average. If the newly married princess had no old grudges with her, it stands to reason that she should get along well with her as the crown princess. It cannot be said to be fawning, at least she should be a normal sister-in-law. Come and go.

However, Ji Yun just gave her the feeling that I don’t want to have any more contact with you.

If this is the case, it will not be easy for Ji Yun to change for the better.

A person who is unwilling to pretend is definitely not willing to wrong himself. Since he is unwilling to wrong himself, he will not bow to Concubine Ruan Ming.

This marriage was a marriage that King Wu personally requested. I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it in the future between Ji Yun and Concubine Ruan Ming.

King Wu’s temperament was not as carefree as King Jing’s. He would speak out directly if something happened. He was a person who kept things to himself. Thinking of this, Su Xinyi felt that the future was worrying.

In her previous life, she had always been a talkative person, and she ended up living like that. She didn’t blame others, but she also knew that such a temperament would easily lead to big losses.

Just as he was thinking this, Delphinium hurried in with a gossipy light in his eyes. Su Xinyi sat up straight and looked at her.

Delphinium suppressed her excitement and said, Princess, there is a commotion in Prince Xiang’s Mansion.
