189: I Want to See if the Su Family Can Make Progress.
, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Su Xinyi knew that if His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to come, he would have to wait until after the next court session, so she still had some time to make preparations. In an anxious mood, she called Nanny She over.
In her previous life, when she encountered something she didn't understand, she would usually ask Grandma She.
Aunt She came very quickly. Seeing her girl's sad face, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Su Xinyi:......
Grandma She hurriedly put away her smile and said, "Girl, what are your instructions for calling me here?"
Su Xinyi looked at Grandma She and suddenly couldn't speak. The most taboo in her heart was that she knew that she was a reborn person. She had been married before. Even if she did not consummate her marriage with Shang Junyan, she had still been married. .
How could she be worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince?
In her heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was as noble and dignified as the bright moon in the sky, but she knew she was not worthy of it.
Seeing the girl's troubled expression, Grandma She dragged the footstool over and sat down. She said with a smile: "Girl, if you can trust this old slave, you might as well talk to me. Maybe you can help the girl to resolve some issues."
No one can tell Su Xinyi's secret uneasiness. If she told her mother that she felt inferior because of her birth, her mother would definitely bang the table and say, "What's wrong with your birth? You are your father's daughter, and I am My daughter, that’s enough.”
In the mother's eyes, her daughter is so good, how could she not be worthy of others.
If she were to tell other people, how could she say it out loud? Others might misunderstand that she was showing off.
After thinking about it, it turned out that only Aunt She could really say that she was the one she trusted. She was the one who, besides her aunt, had always supported her and helped her through difficulties in her previous life.
"Mommy, I just feel that it's not appropriate for me to be the crown princess." Su Xinyi didn't say whether she was worthy or not, and spoke in a cryptic way.
Grandma She was obviously stunned. After carefully considering the girl's feelings, she looked up at her and smiled softly: "Does the girl think that she grew up in the countryside, so she is not worthy of the position of the crown princess?"
Su Xinyi hesitated for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with saying this, so she nodded slightly.
"Girl, you are the fourth master's daughter. So what if you grew up in the countryside? How many people in the capital can handle a spear? The old woman's eyes have seen countless people. When she first saw the girl, she didn't notice anything. The girl grew up in the country, who can fault her for her demeanor? Girl, don’t belittle yourself, are you really thinking that a nobleman in the palace is making you a princess? "
Su Xinyi was startled.
Grandma She smiled and said, "I have stayed in the palace for so many years, and I know a little bit about the person in the palace. I have some different ideas about the marriage. Do you want to hear it, girl?"
Su Xinyi nodded immediately, "Mommy, you tell me."
She didn't know much about the things in the palace even in her previous life. When she entered the palace, she usually followed the princess of Pingjing County to visit the queen. She rarely attended the palace banquets and didn't know many people. The concubines in the harem were even more familiar with her. It's very few.
Grandma She looked at the girl's serious look and nodded with satisfaction. That's what's good about the girl, she is serious no matter what she does.
"Girl, have you ever thought about why His Majesty granted me a marriage?"
Su Xinyi just couldn't understand, "Mommy, I just don't understand why Your Majesty granted this marriage. There are too many ladies in this capital who are better than me."
"There are many excellent people in the world, but how many can stand in front of the emperor?" Aunt She smiled with squinted eyes, "Girl, we say this behind closed doors, so I won't keep it to myself. What do you think the prince is doing now?"
Su Xinyi thought about the prince's situation and didn't know what to say.
"Empress Yuan died young, and now she has a son who is loved by His Majesty. I don't know how many people are watching the position of the Crown Prince. If we find a Crown Princess with a good family background but a soft temper, how can we control the East Palace? How can we control the East Palace? Getting along with the ladies in the harem." Mammy She paused slightly as she said this, "I don't dare to speculate, but I have been in the palace for so many years, and your majesty is still somewhat sincere to the prince. I think your majesty chooses girls. As the Crown Princess, it is very likely that I am interested in the spirit of the girl and want you to help His Highness. "
Su Xinyi had thought about it but never thought of this point. Now that she thought about it carefully, she suddenly felt that what Grandma She said made sense.
The greatest advantage I have in this life is that I have a strong temper, can fight and resist, and do not avoid situations. His Royal Highness is good at everything, but he is too considerate and gentle. He has good intentions towards everyone, but he does not need someone to take good care of him. Take care of it?
Not to mention others, the Queen is a wolf in sheep's clothing. How can His Highness, a crown prince, compete with his successor? It would not be nice if word spread.
Just as Su Xinyi was thinking this, she heard Aunt She sigh and say: "This is just the words of the old slave family, but from His Majesty's choice of a girl to be the Crown Princess, you can also get a glimpse of it. Those outside only know the girl's toughness, How can you know the girl's strengths? Your Majesty must know it."
Su Xinyi thought about it. Whether it was the case of the salt merchant, the incident at Zhangping Mansion, or the caravan incident, His Majesty should indeed know about it.
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly felt that if His Majesty had such consideration for His Highness the Crown Prince and chose her as the Crown Princess, it would mean that His Majesty still recognized the Crown Prince and at least had no intention of abolishing her for the time being.
So what happened in the last life?
Thinking of the difficult situation that His Highness the Crown Prince was in later, it was difficult for Su Xinyi to keep the matter out of her own hands. If she became the Crown Princess, wouldn't she be able to legitimately help His Highness?
Although she had been married before, she and Shang Junyan had never laid on the same bed or had a meal alone. If I were to be more shameless, I thought she was actually innocent.
The only thing that is unclear is the words "married to someone else", but is Shang Junyan considered a human being?
Thinking of him, Su Xinyi couldn't help but feel angry again.
After preparing herself mentally, Su Xinyi looked at Nanny She and said, "Mommy, do you really think I can be a good Crown Princess?"
Grandma She smiled and said: "Girl, don't be afraid, the old slave will help the girl. I really didn't expect that the old slave is going back now."
Su Xinyi couldn't help but smile, "I'm tired of asking my grandma to follow me."
Grandma She said hurriedly: "Girl, please don't say that. This is what an old slave should do. It is an old slave's blessing to meet a master like the girl."
It is unimaginable for people like them who came out of the palace to have a comfortable old age. How many people are helpless and have a difficult life after leaving the palace.
After she joined the girl from the Duke of Qi's mansion, she lived a carefree life. It was hard for her to find a place where she could make use of herself, so naturally she had to go to pieces.
Su Xinyi knew that grandma would follow, but she felt relieved when she heard her say it herself, "When grandma said this, I felt at ease."
"Girl, please don't belittle yourself. You must know that His Majesty chose you because she is the best. If you feel timid in your heart, those ladies in the palace will know how to handle you." Grandma She said.
Su Xinyi nodded, "I understand, mama, don't worry."
How can I rest assured? Grandma She was even more worried when she saw the girl like this. She had never seen the girl hesitate like this before. It seemed that being a princess really made the girl feel a little unsure.
Thinking of this, Aunt She said: "Girl, starting from tomorrow, I will let the girl learn the rules of the palace and tell you about the things in the palace, so as not to be blinded by others when you enter the palace." Go get it."
Su Xinyi never fought an unprepared battle, so he naturally nodded in agreement.
Grandma She stood up and left, ready to go back and think about where to start tomorrow.
There are many people in the palace, and there are many things to do. If we could talk about this all year round, we would never be able to finish it.
After Nanny She left, Forsythia and the others came in to help her change clothes and make up. His Highness didn't know when he would arrive, so he naturally had to prepare first.
Su Xinyi:......
Is it so grand?
Forsythia and Delphinium kept circling around her, while Yuegui and Xiangxue went to pick out suitable clothes from the cage. They came out with a pile in their arms, but Su Xinyi simply didn't even notice.
She took a look and chose a fish-belly white moonlight skirt and a concubine-colored double-breasted short jacket. She asked the girl to do a simple hanging bun for her, slowly drew her eyebrows in front of the mirror, and applied lipstick.
Forsythia's craftsmanship is very good. When she finished dressing up and looked in the mirror, Su Xinyi felt that she looked better today than before.
Wouldn't it be too grand?
But if she doesn't dress up carefully, will His Highness think she is perfunctory?
Just as Su Xinyi was hesitating, the fourth lady lifted the curtain and came in. She looked at her daughter's outfit and immediately praised her, "This outfit is well-dressed, unassuming and beautiful. The girls did a good job."
"Mother." Su Xinyi stood up and went over to greet her, "Why are you here now?"
"Everyone in the house knows that His Highness the Crown Prince will come to see you today. I'll come and take a look." The fourth lady said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, just do whatever you like on weekdays. This is not the first time you and His Highness have met. If you are too restrained, it will be a problem." not good."
Su Xinyi nodded, "My daughter knows."
She just felt that it would be weird and uncomfortable to meet again after changing her identity.
At the end of the morning, Yan Junchu finished handling the matter, stood up and looked at his father and said: "Father, I will leave first."
The emperor raised his head and glanced at the prince, "Why do you have to go back so early today?"
Yan Junchu immediately said seriously: "My son has thought about it and feels that his father is right. Since the marriage has been decided, he should pay a visit to show his sincerity."
emperor:……
"So soon? Those old guys from the Ministry of Rites haven't come to the door yet. What are you going to do?" The emperor was surprised. He was very repulsive about marriage before, but now he figured it out?
Yan Jun showed a bit of tangle on his face for the first time, and he hesitated and said: "My son and the Lord of Yong'an County have met several times, and we fought against the enemy together outside Zhangping Mansion. With these past feelings, plus Since my son came to visit me sincerely, I believe that the Lord of Yongan County will have a good impression of his son. In order to avoid marital discord, my son decided that as a man, I should take the initiative. "
When these words fell into the ears of the emperor, it became clear that the future daughter-in-law was too powerful and the son didn't want to be beaten, so he hurriedly came to the house to connect with her, catch up on old friendships, and think about the future.
Children can be taught!
"Go, go." The emperor waved his hands with a look of disgust. If the prince had insisted on practicing martial arts, would he still be afraid of being beaten today? "Wait a minute, I have a new tribute of spring tea here. The old prince likes this. You can take a jar with you."
Yan Junchu immediately said: "Thank you very much, father."
"When you are a son-in-law, you have to be flexible, don't come empty-handed, and prepare more gifts. If Su Chun was still alive, how could your son-in-law be so relaxed? Although you are the prince, don't put on airs in the Su family, Su The family is full of loyal people. Even though they are not very good in this generation, you should not be disrespectful. "
Yan Junchu responded immediately, "Yes, I listen to my father. In fact, Su Yi is not bad. The battle of Zhangping Prefecture is also remarkable."
The emperor snorted, "He is better than his father among the short men, but he is not as good as the old Duke and Su Chun."
Yan Junchu:...
This is not hiding the disdain at all.
The emperor was a little angry as he spoke, "The children of the Su family go to school? Isn't this a big joke? They have become a bunch of nerds. I don't know if they feel guilty when they kneel down to worship their ancestors! The Su family's reputation is wasted. I think the daughters of the Su family are better than the sons. They have the style of their ancestors."
Yan Junchu:...
Only then did he know that his father had been dissatisfied with the Duke of Qi's Mansion for a long time. He thought...his father was happy to see the children of the Su family study.
The emperor got angry and looked at the prince and said, "Let's see, now that the Su family has a princess, do these Su family men dare not make progress! I wonder if they still want to pick up the glory of their ancestors!"
Yan Junchu completely understood that his father was not just choosing a wife for himself, but was using this incident to warn the Su family.
That is, if this way of warning spreads, I don't know how many people in the capital will be envious and jealous.
"Don't worry, father, I will urge you." Yan Junchu said immediately.
The emperor waved his hand, "Let's go, do your own thing."
"Your son will take his leave."
Yan Junchu walked all the way to the East Palace. Before leaving, he asked Yang Jin to go to Hu Siyi to get the spring tea awarded by his father. When he returned to the East Palace, he took out the gift list and carefully thought about his father's words, and took out a pen to rewrite a copy.
The first time he came to the door, he had to perform well.
Before, he was afraid of arousing his father's suspicion, but now that his father had spoken, he had no scruples.
The prince's carriage left the East Palace, attracting many passers-by along the way, mainly because several cars followed behind the prince's carriage, all filled with large boxes with red seals, which looked really eye-catching.
When the prince's carriage stopped in front of the Duke of Qi's mansion, everyone came to their senses. The marriage was granted yesterday, and His Highness came to the door today?
It was so grand, and so many gifts were prepared?
It seems that His Highness is very satisfied with this marriage.
At this time, the Duke of Qi's mansion also came to welcome the prince. Yan Junchu immediately stepped forward to help the old Duke up, "Old Duke, there is no need to be polite. We will be a family in the future. This time, my father also asked me to bring spring tea to the old Duke."
The old Duke was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears, and he was about to cry, and he thanked him repeatedly.
Knowing that the prince was coming, Mr. Su and others also rushed back from the government office, followed the old master, and invited His Highness to enter the mansion.
The prince sat down in the main hall. Although he was the son-in-law promised by His Majesty, his status was too high, so he naturally had to sit in the first seat.
The prince asked the old duke to take the seat, but the old duke refused, so the prince could only sit opposite the old duke.
Although Master Su had a lot of contact with the prince, it was all official business before. Now that he suddenly changed his status, he didn't know what to do.
Master Su Er was a gentle man, so he naturally couldn't do anything to show off his power.
But Master Su San laughed and looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, I really didn't expect that our Xinyi would have such a blessing. This child suffered a lot in the past, and our family felt very distressed. After taking her back, it was inevitable that she was spoiled a little. In the future, please bear with me. If the child does something wrong, just tell me and I will teach her a lesson."
What this means is that our children will take care of themselves if they make mistakes, and you don't need to do it.
Yan Junchu looked at Su Sanye and smiled innocently, "Third uncle is right, but I think Princess Yong'an is very good, you may not have this opportunity."
Su Sanye's eyes lit up, hey, this is interesting, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really likes this marriage.
Oh, he said that Xinyi in their family is good in every way, how could His Royal Highness be dissatisfied, it was all because of the eldest brother's worry, which made him also anxious.
Su Daye and Su Erye:...
The old Duke looked up at the Crown Prince and said happily: "Your Highness, don't listen to the nonsense of the third brother, the palace has its own rules, and our family knows them all. Xinyi, she has never learned these before, we will let the child learn well, and will not embarrass Your Highness, but it will take more than a day or two to learn well, and she still has two older sisters who are not married, so Your Highness will have to bear with the wedding date."
Yan Junchu listened to the old Duke's nice words, but the meaning was one, their girls don't get married early!
Prince: ...
The fight was going on in front, and the Taifu and her family were waiting in the backyard. The third wife felt jealous. Xinyi was so lucky that she would be the crown princess in the future.
However, she didn't want her daughter to participate in the election. Was the palace a place for people to stay?
Thinking of this, the third wife suppressed her jealousy and felt that it was not a good thing.
On the other hand, the eldest wife was telling Xinyi some things to pay attention to. Su Xinyi listened carefully. Seeing that everyone was taking it seriously, she became nervous again.
Su Jingmo and Su Xixian were accompanying her. Not to mention Xiaoliu's nervousness, they were also nervous.
That was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the crown prince of a country.
He will be their brother-in-law in the future!
After another half an hour, a little girl lifted the curtain and came in and said, "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the backyard."
The Taifu immediately stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Follow me out."
Although the crown prince was her grandson-in-law, he was the crown prince of a country, so he naturally could not be rude.
The old lady led her daughter-in-law, granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law out of the courtyard. Zeng's belly was already quite big. She held the hand of the maid and followed her mother-in-law. She was a little nervous, afraid that she would be rude in a while.
Soon, there was a sound from the corridor. Su Xinyi looked up and saw the prince in a scarlet robe walking in front of the crowd.
Black hair and black eyebrows, a gentleman.
This was the first time she saw the prince wearing such a color. Scarlet was worn on him, and the warm color diluted the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes, and brought the warmth of spring.
"I greet the prince."
"Your servant greets the prince."
"Your servant greets the prince."
Su Xinyi bowed with her family and heard the prince's footsteps coming in front of her in an instant. She looked up and saw him helping her grandfather up, "Madam, please get up quickly, no need to be polite."
The old lady smiled and got up, inviting the prince to come in and sit down.
The room was suddenly full of people, and the eldest lady asked the younger generation to go out and wait, leaving only Su Yi and Su Xinyi.
Su Yi looked at his sister who was slightly bowing her head opposite him. At this moment, when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he really knew that this marriage was real.
After sitting down, the Crown Prince asked people to present gifts to the female relatives. There were several large boxes full of gifts. The eldest lady's eyes were a little stunned. Was it too much?
She looked up at the old lady. What should she do?
The old lady didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would bring so many boxes when he came to visit for the first time. The gifts in the boxes must not be vulgar.
The old lady went to see her husband, and when she saw the old man's calm expression, she felt relieved.
The husband didn't express his opinion, which meant he could accept it.
After asking how they were and chatting about family matters, the prince looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I want to say a few words to Princess Yong'an, is that possible?"
Su Xinyi was suddenly called, and she looked up at His Royal Highness the Prince, and she couldn't help but get nervous again.
She told herself not to be nervous, and that she would definitely protect His Royal Highness when she entered the East Palace, but she was still nervous when she really saw someone.
The old man said: "It just so happens that the flowers in the garden are blooming, Xinyi, you can take His Royal Highness to have a look."
The garden at home is bright and a good place to talk.
Su Xinyi stood up, looked at His Royal Highness the Prince and said: "Your Highness, please."
Yan Junchu smiled and stood up, and walked out to Su Xinyi.
It's not far from the lady's yard to the garden. Go through two doors, step onto the corridor, and walk to the end of the corridor.
Lian Qiao and a few others followed far behind, so they couldn't hear the conversation, but they could see the situation in front of them.
Yan Junchu looked at the garden of the Duke of Qi's mansion and was surprised for a moment, "Why is this garden so small?"
According to the regulations of the Duke of Qi's mansion, a very large garden can be built.
"Oh, the family filled a large part of the garden with soil to make a martial arts field. Your Highness, look at the wall in front, it's across the wall." Su Xinyi said.
Yan Junchu turned his head to look at Su Xinyi, "Have you been there?"
Speaking of these familiar things, her nervousness slowly disappeared, as if she had returned to the situation when the two of them were together, and said: "Of course, I go there every morning."
Yan Junchu nodded when he heard it, "There is a large martial arts field in the East Palace. Go and see if it suits your taste. If not, I will ask someone to modify it for you. What do you think?"
Su Xinyi was stuck for a moment, and suddenly didn't know how to respond. She looked up at the prince's usual gentle smile, his mouth was bigger than his brain. Zi was quick for a moment, blurting out: "Can I continue to practice martial arts in the future?"
Yan Junchu stared at Su Xinyi, his face became serious, "You marry me to be my wife, not to be locked up like a bird in a cage, of course it's okay, you can do whatever you want."
