310: Kill Two Birds with One Stone

The hot summer wind blew the wind chimes under the eaves, and the sound of the bells made people more irritated. Google search reading

Su Xinyi didn't think that after she and Pei Nianwei parted unhappily last time, she could still talk to her as if nothing had happened this time, and let her tear off her face and appear in front of her...

She remembered the girl You who helped His Majesty in the rain that day, the cousin of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.

Su Xinyi looked up at Lian Qiao, "Please invite her in."

"Yes." Lian Qiao hurriedly raised her feet and went out.

Su Xinyi got up and went to the outer hall, sitting upright on the couch, with some thoughts in her eyes.

Pei Nianwei followed Lian Qiao in, and the door of Deyang Hall was wide open. She followed Lian Qiao around the four large floor-to-ceiling screens, lifted the bead curtain and went in, and saw Su Xinyi sitting on the couch by the window with a leisurely posture.

A lake green long-sleeved jacket with a front opening, a milky white long skirt, a head of black hair tied up high, and two simple hairpins. It was a simple outfit, but it was particularly beautiful on her.

The Crown Princess's eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous, and she was actually more suitable for clothes with rich colors, but today she felt that Su Xinyi was more beautiful than ordinary people.

"Your servant has met the Crown Princess." Pei Nianwei put away her messy thoughts and calmed herself down to go forward.

Even if she was unwilling, Su Xinyi had already become the Crown Princess, and no matter how high her ambition was, she could only bow down now.

"Please stand up, Miss Pei." Su Xinyi said, "Sit down and talk."

Su Xinyi didn't like Pei Nianwei very much, especially her self-righteous look, but thinking of her cousin You, she dealt with her according to her temperament.

She glanced and found that Pei Nianwei was wearing a plain dress today, which was somewhat similar to her, but the depression between her eyebrows could not be concealed, which made Su Xinyi feel curious and indescribable.

Cuique brought the little palace maid to serve tea. After the little palace maid left, she and Lianqiao stood behind the Crown Princess on the left and right.

This Miss Pei was not very friendly to their Crown Princess. Without the Crown Princess's order, they naturally had to stay by her side.

"Miss Pei, what is the matter with you today? You and I are old acquaintances. If you have something to say, you might as well speak directly." Su Xinyi didn't have time to beat around the bush with Pei Nianwei, so she just spoke directly.

Pei Nianwei saw Su Xinyi like this, and she didn't mean to send the people around her away. If so, these two people must be people she trusts, so she stopped struggling, looked up at Su Xinyi and said directly: "The Crown Princess must have met my cousin a few days ago, and I came here today for her."

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, and she liked Pei Nianwei for the first time, so she chuckled and said: "It's true that we met once, but it's just a once. I don't know why Miss Pei came to tell me about this."

Pei Nianwei looked at Su Xinyi and couldn't tell whether she really didn't expect it or was teasing her intentionally. The smile on her face was put away, "Crown Princess, aren't you curious why cousin You came all the way to the capital? Speaking of which, she is also the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Pei Nianwei used to call the Crown Prince cousin, but this time she called him His Royal Highness seriously. Su Xinyi immediately understood what Pei Nianwei meant by this. Was she trying to show her goodwill?

Actually, there was no need.

Anyway, His Highness doesn't care about any cousins.

She looked at Pei Nianwei and said, "Your Highness has many cousins, Miss Pei, don't you think so?"

So what if they are cousins? Not all of them can make His Highness look at them differently.

Pei Nianwei's face froze. She always felt that Su Xinyi was mocking her. She suppressed her anger and said, "Crown Princess, I know that some of my things in the past made you very disgusted, but I don't regret it. When I was a child, my family told me that when I grow up, I will go to my cousin, and I have been working hard for this."

Su Xinyi didn't think Pei Nianwei's words were very affectionate, so she interrupted her directly, "Miss Pei, what's the point of you telling me this? The Pei family told you that you were going to come to His Highness, but how did the Pei family treat His Highness for so many years? I think you are so old, you must know nothing at all, right?"

Don't be affectionate, don't you know what your family does?

Pei Nianwei felt her face burning. She took a deep breath and said, "How can a little girl like me control what happens at home? I am different from them. I am really good to my cousin."

"What can you do for His Highness? Miss Pei, let me put it bluntly. Even if you enter the East Palace, what does it matter? You can neither change your family for His Highness nor help His Highness solve problems. You are like a dodder, which looks beautiful but has no roots. If His Highness is deeply in love with you, it would be fine. At least you still have feelings for each other, but as far as I know, there is no such thing. So, Miss Pei, the deep affection you think is just self-righteous."

Su Xinyi didn't want to say it so harshly, but she didn't want to see Pei Nianwei's self-touching, which made her feel a little nauseous.

Pei Nianwei:...

At this moment, her face was like a box of paint overturned. She wanted to refute it fiercely, but she didn't have the confidence.

"Let's not talk about that. I just want to tell the Crown Princess one thing. The You family wants to send You Xiangru into the palace through my father. Do you understand?" Pei Nianwei said with some uncontrollable anger.

Su Xinyi actually guessed it, but it was just a guess. After hearing what Pei Nianwei said, she was still a little frightened. She looked at Pei Nianwei's flaming expression and it didn't look like he was cheating, so she said, "I'm afraid it's from the Marquis Wu'an Mansion." Aren’t you afraid that Miss Pei will talk about private matters like this?”

Pei Nianwei gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I'm afraid, but I don't want my cousin to be laughed at. If You Xiangzhe enters the palace and becomes a concubine, what will others think of my cousin? Therefore, the princess has ways to stop this. Is it right?"

Su Xinyi finally understood the purpose of Pei Nianwei's visit. She stared at her and then shook her head, "You don't believe what Miss Pei said, do you? If my father really fell in love with Miss You and brought him into the palace, how could I, a daughter-in-law, reach out?" If someone knows about such a thing, wouldn't it mean that he would be despised by everyone in the world? "

Pei Nianwei is really good at calculating, she is trying to kill two birds with one stone.

She said that she couldn't be kind to this person. Even at this point, this person was trying to drag her into trouble.

"As the princess, do you have to watch your cousin being laughed at?" Pei Nianwei was a little anxious this time. She didn't expect that Su Xinyi really didn't care at all, which was different from what she imagined.

Su Xinyi looked at Pei Nianwei with a surprised look, "What you said is interesting. Why is His Highness being laughed at? In the final analysis, how much does this matter have to do with His Highness? The only thing that can be criticized is the cousins. His blood connection, but so what? Not to mention that the You family has been away from home for so many years and has little contact with the East Palace, not to mention that His Highness is still protecting the family and the country in Zhangping Mansion. Even if others criticize him, it will never fall on His Highness. superior."

Su Xinyi said this, but she knew how influential it was in her heart, but she could never show it in front of Pei Nianwei. If this person knew what he was thinking, he would definitely climb up the pole.

She won't get her way.

Besides, the only thing that can be really criticized is age. How old is Your Majesty, and how old is You Xiangzhe?

However, if you think about it carefully, in the draft that takes place every three years, in which case is the woman selected into the palace not a woman of the right age?

As long as Dong Gong doesn't take it seriously, others won't be able to see the joke.

Su Xinyi's letter to His Highness only vaguely mentioned a few words about this matter, but did not say much else. She believed that His Highness must have the same idea as hers.

Sure enough, Su Xinyi's words shocked Pei Nianwei. She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief and said angrily: "You really don't care about my cousin's face at all!"

Su Xinyi was angry and looked at Pei Nianwei with a cold and sarcastic expression, "What Miss Pei said is that your family can do such disgusting things. Instead of blaming your parents and aunt, you blame me. It's really Ridiculous. After all, you didn’t do this yourself. Why should I clean up your mess? How dare you say such a thing to me?”

Pei Nianwei's face turned pale and she almost lost her breath. If she could convince her family, how could she still look at Su Xinyi's face here?

Su Xinyi was too lazy to talk to Pei Nianwei and said calmly: "Miss Pei, please go back. I can't do anything about this matter."

No matter what she could do, she would never join forces with Pei Nianwei. Such a person is selfish and might get bitten if he turns around.

Pei Nianwei wanted to say something else, but when she saw the two girls coming out from behind Su Xinyi walking toward her, as if seeing off guests, she couldn't say what was stuck in her heart.

Pei Nianwei left angrily. After leaving the East Palace, she still couldn't recover. She regretted it a little. She should have suppressed her temper and persuaded Su Xinyi to help.

What should we do now?

Pei Nianwei really had no other good idea for a while. She already vaguely knew that her family planned to let You Xiangzhi meet His Majesty again. This time, she would definitely not do nothing when they meet again.

What should she do?

Pei Nianwei can't watch her things being robbed by others, and she's still a relative of hers, but is there any good way now? How can she prevent You Xiangzhe from meeting His Majesty again?

There will definitely be a strict plan in the family for this matter. Let alone whether she can intervene, it will be even more difficult to do anything.

Pei Nianwei's brows were furrowed and she could only take one step at a time. If that didn't work, she couldn't be blamed for being cruel.

Anyway, she absolutely couldn't watch her cousin lose face because of You Xiangzhe.

Su Xinyi didn't know what Pei Nianwei was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't interfere. But Pei Nianwei was right about one thing, she couldn't just watch His Highness being laughed at.

Thinking of this, Su Xinyi thought of Concubine Li.
