169: Don’t Let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Misunderstand
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
The cold wind was blowing snowflakes, and the sky and the earth were all silvery white. The person in the lead was also dressed in white, and seemed to blend into the snowy sky.
White snowflakes fell on his body, cold and hazy. When he got closer, everyone recognized that the person in front of him was His Highness the Crown Prince, and immediately came forward to greet him.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Xinyi followed Su Jingmo and Dong Zhiwei, and as he stepped forward to salute, His Royal Highness suddenly felt like a moment in his lifetime.
She remembered that that year, the Princess of Pingjing County took her into the palace to attend a palace banquet. It snowed heavily. The Princess of Pingjing County went to see the Queen and asked her to wait outside the palace. Snowflakes like goose feathers fell on her body. The Queen Everyone came and went in the palace and turned a blind eye.
She knew that Princess Pingjing did it on purpose, and she also knew that the queen did it on purpose, but she could only stand and let the snowflakes fall on her body.
Later, the prince came through the snow, paused slightly as he walked past her, and then left. She stood there with her head lowered, and she only remembered the snow-white clothes he swept across her eyes.
Soon, someone from the palace came out and took her to the side hall to clear the snow and change clothes to keep warm. Through a door, he heard the cold voice of His Highness the Crown Prince, "I thought the Queen had a new hobby and liked to watch people in the snow. Turning into a snowman, Father Gu Xiang should also take a look at such a beautiful scenery."
That snowfall made her sick for a while after she returned. She couldn't remember anything except that the prince wore white clothes and walked on the snow that day.
The person in front of her in a daze seemed to coincide with him at that time, which made her feel a little strange, until Su Jingmo pushed her gently and said, "Xiao Liu, why are you so dazed? His Highness is asking you a question."
"Huh?" Su Xinyi suddenly came back to her senses and raised her head to look at the prince. She was quite comfortable seeing His Highness before, but she felt a little uncomfortable at this moment. She squeezed out a smile and said, "I wonder what His Highness's orders are?"
"I just wanted to ask Miss Six if it would be convenient for me to take a step to talk. I have something I want to ask."
Su Xinyi nodded casually, "Of course, it's freezing. If your Highness doesn't mind, go to the Nuan Pavilion over there." After saying that, he looked at Su Jingmo and Dong Zhiwei again. Hesitating about what to say, Su heard Su Jingmo took the lead, "Xiao Liu, Mr. Dong and I will go first. We will go back to the courtyard and wait for you. With such heavy snow, we will probably have to stay here tonight. Don't worry."
Su Xinyi nodded when he heard this, "Then please help me, Fourth Sister, to plead guilty to my eldest uncle and third aunt."
Su Jingmo hurriedly agreed, said goodbye to Dong Zhiwei and His Royal Highness, and then turned to leave.
Su Xinyi cheered up, suppressed all the previous daze, and then looked at the prince, "Your Highness, please, it's cold enough today."
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked casually, "What was I thinking about before?"
Su Xinyi's heart skipped a beat. She knew clearly that the prince's words had no other meaning, but she couldn't help feeling guilty. She squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing. I just thought it was so cold in the capital and I didn't know what was going on over there on the grassland. Speaking of which, I was also about to ask His Highness if he had received any news from Yulinwei. After the two cousins left, there was no news except a letter of safety. I was really worried. "
If something happened between Su Deng and Su Li because of her suggestion, how could she explain it to her hometown in Huaining?
As they spoke, they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion. Su Xinyi stepped forward and opened the door. The charcoal stove inside was still burning.
Yang Jin shamelessly followed in to warm up. Hearing this, he immediately answered, "Miss Six, isn't it a coincidence? Your Highness just received the news from Yulin Guard, and I just met the girl again before so I told Your Highness. As soon as he heard it, His Highness came to see the girl, just to talk to her about this matter."
Yang Jin was almost dying of anxiety. His Highness clearly treated the Sixth Girl differently. The Queen in the palace didn't know what she was thinking. Her Majesty came forward to say that the Crown Prince was old enough to choose a Crown Princess, and His Majesty actually agreed.
This...the queen clearly has no good intentions. Isn't he anxious?
His Highness is the crown prince, and only the little girl chases him. How can His Highness condescend to show kindness to other girls? Most likely His Highness didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to follow along and beat the drum.
The girls that His Highness can take a second look at are all nuns from a monk's den, which is simply a miracle.
This is really the emperor who is not in a hurry to kill the eunuch... Bah! He is not a eunuch!
Su Xinyi didn't know what was going on in Yang Jin's mind. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he looked at His Royal Highness, "Your Highness, is it true? Have you really received the news?"
Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "But it is not good news. There is a letter from the Yulin Guards who stayed behind. They have not received news from the caravan for a long time. At the moment, they only know that they are deep into the grassland, where exactly they have arrived and what is their current situation. Nothing."
Su Xinyi's face suddenly became a little ugly, and after a while he said, "I didn't expect the snow to be so heavy this year."
She couldn't quite remember whether the snow was heavy this year in her previous life. It had been so long that she couldn't remember clearly. She felt a little annoyed. She shouldn't have been so reckless. Who knew she would encounter such a situation.
Yan Junchu frowned subconsciously when he heard Su Xinyi's words of self-blame, and then said: "Who can predict natural disasters? Those people in Qintian Prison specialize in studying this, don't they not see it? You don't need to blame yourself, not to mention that Pang Lan has something to do when he is out. With experience, it shouldn’t be a big deal with him.”
Su Xinyi's expression softened slightly after hearing these words, "I hope Panda can lead everyone to avoid this disaster. With such heavy snow, if you can't find a place to stay on the grassland, you will really freeze to death."
"Although the Tatar tribes are warlike, the people also look forward to living a peaceful life. No one is born to like war. Pang Lan also went to the grassland for a few years and is somewhat familiar with it. Don't go too far. Worried." This was the first time that Yan Junchu comforted Su Xinyi when he saw her so worried.
Yang Jin watched from the side and thought to himself that he knew His Highness was different from the Sixth Girl. Quietly, how could His Highness usually be so gentle and attentive, and even comfort the little girl, what is she dreaming about.
"Sixth Miss, Your Highness has sent someone to deliver a message to the Yulin Guard, asking the Yulin Guard to pay close attention to the situation of the caravan. If it really doesn't arrive for a long time, send someone to the grassland to respond. Besides, the guards of the caravan are all elites. Miss Six, don’t worry too much,” Yang Jin said.
Su Xinyi knew it, but he was really worried, "I hope they are all safe and sound, but it's a pity that I can't go to Yulin Guard to find them again."
Yang Jin said happily: "Sixth Miss, the Duke of Qi will definitely not let you go out of Beijing. Not to mention the long distance and the bad weather, your family will not have a good time when you leave the country."
Su Xinyi sighed softly and couldn't help but complain, "It's not just that, my name is on the list, and I have to go through the motions to choose the Crown Princess. It would be fine if my name is not on the list. I still have a way to do it. Out of Beijing.”
If her name is on the list and she dares to run away, wouldn't it be obvious that she will give the clues to the Queen?
She can't do this kind of thing, and she can't hurt her family.
"Just going through the motions?" Yang Jin saw that His Highness looked wrong and was so frightened that his tone changed a little.
Su Xinyi was startled by Yang Jin's sharp voice and looked up at him, "Yes, the candidate for the Crown Princess must be the most outstanding lady in the entire Southern Qi Dynasty. His Highness is such a good person, so naturally he should be matched with the best lady. , is there anything strange?”
Yang Jin:......
This is absolutely correct, but the premise is that their highnesses have no other thoughts, right?
Yang Jin glanced at His Highness cautiously, but His Highness's thoughts were always unpredictable. At this time, he couldn't tell what His Highness was thinking. He didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only fool him by making a joke. It's a cold sweat.
It's going to end now, and I'll make you talk!
Miss Six, don’t you think you are the best among them?
Do you have any misunderstandings about yourself?
Apart from the royal family, the only people who can be granted the title of county lord and title by your majesty are Princess Runyi and you. Princess Runyi's aunt is also the queen, which can be regarded as a relative of the emperor.
But you're not, you're doing this entirely on your own merit.
Yang Jin thought that the sixth girl didn't think she was outstanding, probably because she grew up in the countryside.
"Yang Jin, go ask the temple for a pot of tea."
When Yang Jin heard His Highness's cold voice, his whole body tensed up and he immediately stood up, "Yes, I'll go right away."
His Highness just sent him away because he thought he was an eyesore.
Why.
Yes, he wanted to go for tea, and it took him half an hour to go back and forth.
As soon as Yang Jin left, Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and smiled, "Don't listen to Yang Jin's nonsense."
Su Xinyi lowered his eyes slightly, and also smiled, "Master Yang is right, and so am I. Such a good person as His Highness must be matched by the best woman in the world."
Yan Junchu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Su Xinyi's serious expression, knowing that she meant what she said.
He really couldn't hold it back, looked at her and asked, "Miss Six, from the time we first met on the mountain to now, I really think you always thought I was a good person. Why is that?"
Su Xinyi's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to show anything strange on her face. She tried her best to stay calm, her mind started to spin crazily, and then she said, "I also heard what others said. Isn't that right?"
Yan Junchu couldn't seem to say he was wrong, and no one said he was a bad guy.
"I heard from Yang Jin that you came to Daling Temple today to accompany Miss Su Si?"
Su Xinyi felt even more guilty when she heard the prince's question. His Highness the prince wouldn't know that the fourth sister rushed to see each other to get engaged in order not to run for election, right?
Don't be misunderstood by His Royal Highness.
She looked at the prince and explained seriously: "Yes, my fourth sister and Prince Changnanhou have been discussing marriage for a long time. It's just that His Highness knows that Changnanhou and his family have been observing filial piety in his hometown. Now that the period of filial piety is approaching, Mrs. Changnanhou He took his eldest son back to Beijing to tidy up the house, and the marriage was put on the agenda. The two families had been discussing marriage for a long time, but they had not met yet, so they made an appointment to meet at Daling Temple. "
Su Xinyi didn't make this up. Madam Xiang had said it before. Madam Changnanhou had indeed asked Madam Xiang about the marriage early. Madam Xiang was also very optimistic about Changnanhou Crown Prince. She was indeed holding back because of her filial piety.
"how about you?"
"Huh?" Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, "Me?"
She didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly asked her. She was stunned for a moment, met His Highness's smiling eyes, slowly relaxed, and then smiled lightly, "Actually, I don't want to get married, but I don't dare to tell my family. First, Let’s wait a year or two.”
When Yan Junchu heard this, the smile on his face paused slightly, "Don't want to get married? Why?"
Su Xinyi felt that she might have made a mistake today. How could she tell His Highness the Crown Prince about such a thing? Her mind seemed to be miswired at that moment. She tried her best to sound normal and said, "It's nothing." , I don’t think about it for the time being.”
How could she say those words about not wanting to get married in front of the prince?
Although she and His Royal Highness had known each other for a long time, such private matters were not made public.
Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and his eyes darkened slightly. He turned his head to look at the sky with snowflakes floating outside. It was dark and heavy, weighing on people's hearts.
"What if there is a marriage agreement?"
Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment when she heard the sudden voice from the prince. If there was a marriage agreement, it must be a marriage arranged by her family. In order not to let her family worry, she would naturally agree.
And whether it was Su Xixian's marriage, Su Jingmo's marriage, or Su Chaoyan's marriage, in her opinion, her family had arranged it very well. When it came to her, her grandparents should also choose a suitable one for her.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and said, "Of course, I will listen to the elders."
Yan Junchu was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, "That makes sense." After that, he stopped talking about this matter, but talked about Changnan Hou's affairs, "Changnan Hou's mourning period is coming, and he should still be used by his father when he returns to the capital."
Su Xinyi naturally knew this, but she didn't expect His Royal Highness to tell her this. Changnan Hou stood on the side of the prince, and it was not surprising that the prince knew whether Changnan Hou would be used.
"Thank you for telling me, your highness, in fact, my family didn't think so much, but I think Changnan Hou's son has a commendable character and is compatible with my fourth sister, so we discussed the marriage." Su Xinyi said with a smile. Now that the marriage has not been completed, she naturally can't say more.
After saying that, he saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye, "Your Highness, I should go back. If Your Highness has any news about Yulin Guard, please let Your Highness know."
Yan Junchu nodded slightly, "Okay, if there is any news, let Yang Jin send you a letter."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I am afraid that the elders will worry, so I will take my leave first." Su Xinyi bowed and turned to leave.
Yan Junchu stood up and walked to the door of the warm room, and saw that the fox fur cloak on Su Xinyi was gradually sinking into the wind and snow.
The whistling cold wind brushed his face like a knife, and somehow reminded him of Su Xinyi's fleeting smile before.
