178: Is the Prince a Biological Child? Was He Adopted?
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
"Let's go and have a look." The emperor immediately stood up, put down his government affairs, and walked out.
Hu Siyi was startled and immediately raised his foot to catch up, "Your Majesty, are you going to the polo field?"
The emperor hummed, and then said: "No one is allowed to spread the news!"
"Yes." Hu Siyi responded quickly, Your Majesty is going to pay a private visit incognito.
At this time, the polo ground in Dongneiyuan has been cleaned up, and the ladies present are dividing into teams. Zhu Chanyi hesitates whether to have a good match with Su Xinyi as an opponent, or to fight against her as a teammate. Before she can wait, She wanted to understand and was caught by Shu Siyang.
"Miss Zhu, how about you join our team?"
Zhu Chanyi's tooth ached when she saw Shu Siyang's team. Just as she was about to refuse, she heard Xu Yuru say: "Miss Zhu, you don't want to be on the same team as the Yong'an County leader, do you? What if this is a team between the two of you? As a team, what else are we fighting for?”
"Yes, you two can't be on the same team, that would be too bullying, and we must separate you two!"
"Separate! Miss Zhu is already very good at polo, and Lord Yong'an also became famous in one battle. If you guys get together, let's just admit defeat."
Su Xinyi:......
Zhu Chanyi:......
Su Xinyi had a severe headache. Seeing these girls chattering and discussing tactics like the old ladies at the vegetable market, she simply covered her head and stepped aside, "Just call me once you've discussed it."
She'd better hide away for a while first!
Zhu Chanyi couldn't get away, and could only look at Su Xinyi with envy, who was staying out of the incident. Despite her headache, she started to split up with the group of people to discuss tactics.
Su Xinyi got off the horse and leaned in front of the fence. Looking at the group of girls in the field, they seemed to have a little more courage when they changed into Hu clothes, and their voices were much higher when they spoke, which was quite enjoyable.
However, this group of people probably don't play polo very much, and their riding skills are questionable. They often play polo on horseback, not to mention playing in the field. Su Xinyi doesn't play polo anymore, he only cares about making money.
A group of ladies laughed so hard that they thought it was so much fun. Zhu Chan was so angry that she almost threw away her golf stick. How can we have fun?
Wang Yingyao and Jiang Ruolan played for a while and then left the field. There was no other way. Xu Yuru's horse ran past Jiang Ruolan's leg. Although it didn't hit her, Jiang Ruolan's leg was also hit. She cried in pain. It's about to fall.
Although Xu Yuru apologized, her attitude was not very sincere, and Jiang Ruolan was so angry that she trembled all over.
Doesn't Xu Yuru just hold grudges that the Jiang family refused to agree to Xu Yurong's marriage to her eldest brother?
With Sister Xu Yuru's temperament, if she really got married, she would be in trouble for eight lifetimes!
The girl's loyalty rebuked Fang Qiu!
Su Xinyi jumped over from the fence, landed lightly on the ground, turned around and got on the horse again, shook the reins with both hands, and the horse jumped out like the wind in an instant.
Su Xinyi used the club in his hand with ease, blocking the ball, dribbling and hitting the ball in one go. She intercepted the ball from Shu Siyang's hand, and rode her horse with the ball with great momentum. Xu Yuru was in front of the goal, and her horse refused to leave for some reason. She was anxious, and when she looked up she saw Su Xinyi, wearing bright clothes and an angry horse, ran towards her. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to move at all and forgot to move.
Su Xinyi took the ball and bypassed Li Qingyi and others, swung the stick and struck hard. The polo flew straight past Xu Yuru's legs, scoring a goal!
Su Xinyi looked at Xu Yuru with a half-smile but not a smile, "Miss Xu, I'm so sorry, didn't I scare you? You said how could you block the goal? Just block it. You can't move like a wooden stake. , I don’t know how to play like this?”
The whole place fell silent.
Not long ago, Xu Yuru smiled like this and said to Jiang Ruolan, "Miss Jiang, oh, I'm so sorry. Why are you so careless? There are no eyes on this golf course. If you don't know how to ride a horse, don't come up and embarrass yourself."
No one is blind, Su Xinyi has clearly left the game and suddenly comes back, and goes straight towards Xu Yuru, who can't know why?
Xu Yuru's back was covered in cold sweat. Just before, she felt that Su Xinyi really wanted to kill her. As long as the polo made a slight turn, she would not be able to save her leg!
Guo Yunrong immediately rode over and said with a smile: "It's all a misunderstanding. Miss Xu is fine. Let's keep going. Keep going. We've just scored a few goals. Miss Xu, if you feel unwell, go down and rest. It's just the same with Jiang." Girl, be a companion.”
Everyone:...
Oh, this one is even more ruthless, and the stabbing is so precise!
Just play well and don't think too hard. You are not the only one who is good at equestrian skills!
Su Xinyi waved his hand, looked at everyone and said, "Come on, come on, I'll play with you, come together, if you can score a goal from me, you win!"
"Really?" Li Qingyi asked immediately, "Don't say that we bully others! Miss Zhu, don't let us offend, come together!"
Su Xinyi is not a stickler. She deliberately insulted Xu Yuru to scare the monkeys. At this time, she needs to warm up the situation and let everyone know that she is still a good talker, as long as you don't get too careful.
"Okay, come together." Zhu Chanyi saw Su Xinyi's intention and immediately started to stir up the situation, "Xianhua, you lead Miss Li to attack from the left, Ye Qiu, Minying, take Miss Shu and the others Come up from the right, and I will lead the others to attack from the front. With so many of us, we can't defeat a Yong'an County Lord, go up!"
Su Xinyi looked at Zhu Chanyi, smiled, and cupped her hands, "Then I'm welcome."
"Let the horses come! I didn't grow up eating dirt either!" Zhu Chanyi laughed.
Su Xinyi watched them split into three teams, and before they could completely get into formation, she shook the reins and rushed towards Shu Siyang's group.
Shu Siyang was frightened and screamed, "Why did you run out? It's a foul!"
Su Xinyi was happy, "Miss Shu, I said I would let you score, but I didn't say I wouldn't take the initiative to attack."
Although Su Xinyi's horse was not very eye-catching among the crowd, she was good at riding horses. Her arrogant laughter rushed towards them with thunderous momentum. Shu Siyang was busy dodging, and the whole team was immediately dispersed by Su Xinyi. Shu Siyang was so angry that he slapped the saddle and wanted to curse!
Su Xinyi was too arrogant!
How could she be so powerful? They were all riding horses, but why was the difference so big?
Su Xinyi followed her biological mother into the mountains on horseback since she could walk. Riding a horse was as simple as eating and drinking water for her. The most important thing was that her momentum was particularly attractive.
As soon as Zhu Chanyi saw it, she immediately took the initiative to come forward to stop it. She didn't care about the ladies behind her and rushed towards Su Xinyi, aiming at the ball under Su Xinyi's stick.
Su Xinyi rushed around and messed up the horse field. She kept screaming. She scared the girl. Seeing someone falling off the horse, she could still reach out to save the beauty and pull the person back. Zhu Chanyi was so angry that she shouted, "It's shameless!"
Fortunately, it's a girl. If it was a young man, these people would be crazy!
Li Qingyi controlled the horse to grab the ball, but she didn't know that Shu Siyang's horse was frightened and bumped towards her halfway. Li Qingyi was scared and screamed, and then she felt a tightening around her waist. The whole person was instantly lifted into the air and fell into a warm embrace in an instant.
"Miss Li, are you okay?"
Li Qingyi was so scared that her face turned pale. When she heard Su Xinyi's voice, she came back to her senses and found that her horse had fallen to the ground and she was sitting on Su Xinyi's horse.
"No... It's okay." Li Qingyi coughed lightly and looked at Su Xinyi with a pale face, "You saved me?"
Su Xinyi nodded, "Your horse can't be ridden anymore. I'll take you to a safe place. Sit tight."
Before Li Qingyi finished her words, the horse ran away quickly, eating a mouthful of wind from her!
She suspected that Su Xinyi did it on purpose!
When they reached the edge of the court, Su Xinyi put his right hand around Li Qingyi's waist and sent her off the horse, and then rode away again.
Li Qingyi:...
Is Su Xinyi so strong?
She is so big, even if she is slender, but she lifts and puts herself down like a birdcage. Isn't that too much?
In just a moment, Li Qingyi felt that there was something wrong with her eyes. No matter how she looked at Su Xinyi riding a horse on the court, it was over!
Li Qingyi covered her face and stomped her feet. She was so angry!
On the other side of the court, Prince Rong was stunned. If his father hadn't been standing in front of him, he would definitely have started to curse.
Su Xinyi is really too much. How can the young men in the capital marry after she does this?
How can a girl like her be like a peacock?
The emperor looked at her with interest. He turned his head to look at his son with a dark face and asked with a smile: "It seems that your loss last time was not unfair."
Prince Rong:...
Can we not mention the matter of being stabbed by your own father!
Can't get over it?
"I was letting her go!" Rong Heng said with gritted teeth.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really? Otherwise, you don't have to let her play again today?"
Prince Rong:...
Is it your own father?
Is there anyone who treats his son like this?
"Or you can let your elder brother go?" Prince Rong grinned.
I'm afraid his father can't bear to see his precious son, the prince, lose face!
Who knew that after hearing this, the emperor thought about it carefully, and looked at Hu Siyi and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"Your Majesty, the prince is investigating the case of the female corpse in Xiaoyuqing Pool this morning." Hu Siyi stepped forward and replied.
The emperor nodded slightly, "How is the investigation going?"
Prince Rong's eyelids jumped, and he asked, "What female corpse case? In front of Xiaoyuqing Pool? What's going on? Who dares to throw people into Xiaoyuqing Pool?"
"No rules!" The emperor scolded, "Did I ask you to speak? Listen to the question you asked, no one would ask it."
Prince Rong:...
Why is he not a human being?
"Didn't you scold me last time for asking when I didn't understand? Why am I scolded for asking now?"
Can a father be unreasonable?
The emperor looked at Prince Rong's unconvinced look, slightly turned his head away from his stupid face, and said to Hu Siyi, "Please ask the prince to come."
"Yes." Hu Siyi immediately agreed and hurriedly asked someone to invite the prince.
Yan Junchu arrived very quickly. As soon as he entered the East Inner Courtyard, he heard waves of enthusiastic cheers. He turned his head to look at the group of ladies wearing Hu clothing riding horses and swinging clubs, and saw Su Xinyi surrounded in the middle.
It was not clear from a distance, but the proud and invincible posture was undoubtedly her.
He knew that they came to the East Inner Courtyard to play ball, but he didn't expect to alarm the emperor and even let him come. Yan Junchu turned his mind and soon arrived in front of the emperor. He stepped forward to greet, "Your son greets the emperor."
"Get up." The emperor looked at his son and smiled, "How is the investigation of Xiaoyuqingchi going?"
Yan Junchu immediately replied: "The deceased is Zhang Huiming, a maid in Yangde Palace. After investigation, I found out that the matter has something to do with my seventh brother. I was just going to ask my seventh brother."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked up at the prince, and spoke slowly, "What does it have to do with Prince Rong?"
King Rong was stunned when he heard Zhang Huiming and the name. When he heard the prince's words, his first reaction was conspiracy, but then he thought of the impossibility, how could his mother and the prince join forces to deceive him.
That's not right. How did things become like this?
After Zhang Huiming committed suicide by hitting the wall, didn't he send the body out of the palace? Why did it appear in Xiaoyuqingchi?
King Rong's mind was full of threads when he heard the prince say: "My son found out that the seventh brother took Nv Envoy Zhang away yesterday, and then Nv Envoy Zhang disappeared. She was found in Xiaoyuqing again. Chi. Therefore, I want to ask my seventh brother why he took away Zhang Huiming and why Zhang Huiming’s body appeared in Xiaoyuqingchi.”
The emperor's dark eyes were on the king, waiting for his answer.
King Rong broke out in a cold sweat. How should he answer this question?
Is he going to say that he found out that Zhang Huiming was instigated by her mother to embarrass Su Xinyi, so he took Zhang Huiming away for questioning?
The key is that Zhang Huiming confessed, but she hit a wall when she confessed. And can he say what she confessed?
Wouldn't it harm the queen mother if she said this?
There were holes all around, either dug by his mother or dug by himself. Now that the prince had added another iron rod, he had no place to cry.
Even though King Rong was brave, he couldn't help but pale at the moment, and had to bite the bullet and said: "Father, it's not a big deal. It's just that I happened to meet Zhang Huiming who was doing tricks on the carriage and wanted to enter the palace. The lady to be selected was in trouble, so I took her away for interrogation when I saw something was wrong with her. I didn't know whether she was guilty or afraid. She didn't even ask her a few words before she hit the wall. I wasn't afraid that you would scold me. She was quietly transported out of the palace and buried. My son really didn’t know why her body appeared in Xiaoyuqing Pond. Father, my son really didn’t do anything. I’m so wronged.”
Yan Junchu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at his father's expression, lowered his eyes slightly, and then spoke again, "Father, I also think what the seventh brother said is true. The seventh brother's temperament has always been straightforward. If you really want to do something, you won't take people away in public. But, seventh brother, you have to explain what Zhang Huiming did to make you angry. If you don't explain it clearly here, it won't be easy for me to close the case. ”
King Rong:......
If you could, wouldn't you have said it earlier?
The emperor glanced at his eldest son, then at his seventh son, and his anger was no longer suppressed, "Your eldest brother is asking you a question, tell the truth."
King Rong was startled and said almost subconsciously: "She wanted to trick Su Xinyi into going to Shaoyang Courtyard, but I happened to break it..."
As soon as the words came out, Wang Rong's face turned pale, and he didn't know how to say the rest of the words.
The emperor stared at King Rong for a while, snorted, and then looked at the eldest son, "You can handle this case as you please."
"Yes, Father," Yan Junchu said with a smile, "Don't get angry with your seventh brother. He has always been a child, but now he is much more stable than before."
After hearing this, the emperor glared at King Rong again, and then looked at his eldest son, "You come with me." After saying that, he looked at King Rong again, "Go back if you don't want me!"
King Rong:......
He is also a father to his son, but why is the gap so big?
The prince is his biological son, but he picked him up?
King Rong jumped angrily but there was nothing he could do. He was feeling guilty, so he had no choice but to run away in disgrace. If he found out who threw the body into Xiaoyuqing Pond, he would definitely not be done with him!
There was not much movement in the stands, but Su Xinyi had always been keen, and she always felt that someone was watching her, so she turned around and looked far away, and saw a group of people leaving in their direction. It seemed that they were passing by. Su Xinyi also I didn't take it to heart.
Su Xinyi was also assigned a task by the queen to teach people to play ball, but she didn't take the initiative to say it, and Peiyu didn't know what was going on and didn't mention it, so she just kept it vague.
When someone came to ask for advice, Su Xinyi taught her seriously, and no one asked her to take her leisure time.
After struggling for a long time, the group of people walked back. Zhu Chanyi was a little unhappy. She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "It's not interesting to play with them. How about we form a team and compete again another day?"
Su Xinyi smiled and said: "I don't have any objection. The key is that I'm afraid the team won't be able to form."
A group of pretty girls playing like this today is a waste of their voices. They should sit in the stands and cheer, with a certain momentum.
After returning to Yangde Palace, everyone went back to their respective rooms to change clothes, wash up and rest. On the other side, Peiyu sent everyone back and hurried back to Yuanhui Palace to resume their lives.
Li Qingyi did not go back to Yangde Palace, but turned around and went to his aunt's Zhaoyu Palace on the way.
Concubine Li saw her niece coming and asked with a smile, "How was the fun?"
Li Qingyi walked over and sat down next to her aunt, and then said coquettishly: "Aunt, forget it, this isn't playing polo, it's just a big melee."
"What should I say?" Concubine Li asked with interest.
As soon as Li Qingyi talked about what happened on the polo field, Concubine Li raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, her red gold hollow armor sliding across the table, "How have you been looking at that Yong'an County Master these days?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "It's hard to say, I can't figure out the details. Auntie, I think this Yong'an County Master is not simple. You say she is stable, but she will lose her temper at any time, and it is shameless to lose her temper. You She is said to have a bad temper, but she is very patient with people. No matter who comes to her, as long as they are not provoking trouble, she is really sincere to others. What kind of temperament does such a person have? I can't tell. "
Li Guifei sneered, "You fool, Yong'an County is mostly stupid, how did your uncle fall into her hands?"
"But, wasn't this case investigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"You said that Su Xinyi happened to return to Huaining at that time. You know, it's not far from Huaining to Jing'an Prefecture. Moreover, there is a very powerful person under Ma Rude, who is now working for Su Xinyi. Ma Rude has a close relationship with your uncle. Can this be a coincidence?"
Li Qingyi frowned, and then said softly: "Uncle is indeed a bit greedy in doing things. At that time, my father and aunt persuaded him several times, but he didn't listen and almost implicated my aunt..."
"Qingyi!"
Li Qingyi immediately shut up, "Aunt, I know, I just... forget it, I I won't say it anymore. You're right. We are a family and we should support each other. "
Li Guifei sighed lightly, "The prince should not have let you come this time to choose a concubine, because even if you participate in the election, you will not be selected, but just a runner-up. But you still have to come, do you know why?"
"Qingyi knows that auntie doesn't want Shu Siyang to be selected."
Li Guifei snorted lightly, "Shu Siyang is nothing, you should focus on the Princess of Yong'an."
"It's impossible, how could the Princess of Yong'an be selected. His Majesty values the prince so much, he won't choose a person who grew up in the countryside as the princess of the prince." Li Qingyi said immediately. Although she was reluctant to admit it, she was indeed not bad for saving her once.
Concubine Li looked at her niece, "Just keep an eye on me. Yangde Palace is not far from Shaoyang Courtyard. See if Su Xinyi will contact the Crown Prince privately."
Li Qingyi nodded, "I know, but I think she might not."
"Don't think about anything, just see it. Have you forgotten what your aunt taught you?"
"Yes, Qingyi dare not forget." Li Qingyi stood up and said hurriedly.
Concubine Li nodded, "Just remember it. This Princess Yong'an... That's it. It's useless to tell you this now. Go and rest first, and go back to Yangde Palace after dinner."
Li Qingyi agreed and went downstairs to change clothes. As soon as she left, Concubine Li looked at Songyue beside her and said, "How is the matter at Xiaoyuqingchi?"
"The Crown Prince's body was taken away. The cause has not been found out yet, and there is no explanation yet." Songyue said softly.
"Did your Majesty go to the East Inner Courtyard today?" Li Qingyi had not mentioned this matter in front of her niece before.
"Yes, I asked clearly, he did go, and Prince Rong also arrived soon after, and then His Majesty also summoned His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, he left in less than half an hour, and I found out from Yangde Palace that the people in Yangde Palace didn't know about the emperor's visit."
Li Guifei narrowed her eyes slightly, "It seems that His Majesty went there secretly, who do you think he went to see?"
Song Yue shook her head, "I dare not speak nonsense."
Li Guifei sneered and waved her hand to let Song Yue leave.
Their Majesty is deep-minded, but there is one thing that His Majesty will never do useless things.
The ladies in Yangde Palace are certainly the best in the capital, but who is worthy of His Majesty moving to the East Inner Courtyard?
What is in the East Inner Courtyard?
Polo field.
Not long after Su Xinyi was found, she became famous in a battle on the polo field of Guangping County Prince's Mansion. It was from then on that there was a saying that a tiger father will have a dog daughter.
Your Majesty's real intention is not to drink, I'm afraid he went there for Su Xinyi.
If Su Xinyi becomes the Crown Princess... Concubine Li's face is not very good. This is not what she is happy to see.
Su Xinyi is nothing, but what is the most valuable thing about Su Xinyi?
It is her father's reputation, the honor of Su Chun's sacrifice for the country, and the special treatment of Su Chun by His Majesty!
Su Xinyi cannot be the Crown Princess, and Princess Rong is naturally impossible. Thinking of her son, Concubine Li narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she did not like Su Xinyi, Su Chun...
Worth it!
