314: I’m Afraid that Beauties Have Ulterior Motives

On the way back to the East Palace, Su Xinyi happened to meet the King of Xiang who was entering the palace. The two met face to face. Su Xinyi nodded to him and turned to leave. Google Search Reading

The Crown Prince was not around, so she, as the Crown Princess, of course had to avoid suspicion.

The King of Xiang stared at Su Xinyi's back as she left, and then thought of some things he had found out. His eyes darkened, and then he walked towards the Yuzhao Palace.

***

Zhangping Prefecture.

Yan Junchu finished reading Su Xinyi's letter, his face was gloomy and his true emotions could not be seen.

Yang Jin had one arm hanging, looking a little embarrassed. Seeing that the prince's expression was not good, he asked carefully and softly: "Your Highness, is there any bad news in the capital?"

Yan Junchu did not reply to Yang Jin's words, but just thought of the You family... He naturally knew the You family, and the aunt who married into the You family... He didn't remember anything else, but he remembered that she should have entered the palace at the beginning.

Ha.

Yan Junchu's eyes, which were already cold, were more like ice at this time.

Yang Jin was watching from the side, and stood up straight in fear. His Highness was furious. He hadn't seen His Highness so angry in many years.

"Yang Jin."

"I'm here!" Yang Jin immediately stepped forward and replied.

"I asked you to investigate the matter of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. Have you investigated it?"

Yang Jin nodded immediately, "Your Highness, I have investigated it, but Wu'an Marquis has no real power in his hands. He really hasn't violated any discipline or law in private. At most, he indulges his servants, which is not a big deal."

Yang Jin had no choice. Although Wu'an Marquis was a bit mean, he was afraid of death and had no real power in his hands. He really didn't have the courage to do anything that would harm the country and the people.

Yan Junchu glanced at Yang Jin and didn't know what to say for a while.

Yang Jin's legs trembled when he was glanced at by His Highness. Did he misunderstand? What did His Highness want to ask?

Yang Jin racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. Didn't His Highness ask him to keep an eye on Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to investigate this?

"I remember that Wu'an Hou and his sister had no contact for several years. When did they start to see each other again?" Yan Junchu asked.

This is what he asked. Yang Jin was relieved and said quickly: "They started to see each other seven or eight years ago. Wu'an Hou also visited the You family in Luzhou last year."

Seven or eight years ago?

Yan Junchu pursed his lips and smiled after a long while, "You should ask someone to go to Luzhou again to check You Jian carefully. Don't alarm anyone."

"Yes." Yang Jin agreed immediately, "Or I will go there myself?"

Yan Junchu's eyes swept over Yang Jin's hanging hand.

Yang Jin: ...

I feel that His Highness has disliked me.

Alas, I was hurt at the wrong time.

After Yang Jin left, Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi's letter again. Sure enough, after he left the capital this time, all kinds of ghosts and monsters popped up.

He had always suspected the cause of his mother's death. Now that Youshi was forced to come to the capital, it seems that his guess was not wrong.

Yan Junchu sneered. He had been setting up the game for so long and casting such a large net, and now he finally saw the fruits.

He just didn't expect that the decision made by Ayuan, who didn't know these things, not only did not hinder his plan, but also promoted the pace of others.

Sure enough, the two of them were in sync.

Yan Junchu suppressed the urge to explain to Ayuan in the letter. If there was a mistake on the way, it would be easy to leak the news. It would be better to wait until he returned to Beijing.

Although the Tatars were driven back to their hometown again in this battle with the Tatars, the casualties of Southern Qi were not small. It would take time to recover.

Yan Junchu thought of this, took a deep breath, turned around and asked someone to call King Rong.

King Rong came quickly, sweating, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Brother, what do you want me to do? I'm busy here."

"What are you busy with?" Yan Junchu looked at King Rong and asked.

"Hey, brother, aren't you asking me to do these things? You're asking me what to do now? It's not so quick to cross a river and then destroy a bridge, right?" Prince Rong almost rolled his eyes. "I've sent a letter to Su Yi and Chen Boyan, asking them to quickly deliver the food, herbs and other things they collected. This time, Su Yi should lead the team, and Chen Boyan will continue to go south to buy food. Brother, I didn't expect there would be so many things to do after the war."

There were injured soldiers everywhere who needed treatment, and the people's pots were almost gone. Most of the food was given to the soldiers defending the city to eat so that they could kill the enemy. Now that the summer harvest was missed due to the war, a lot of food fell on the ground, and the people had to go to the ground every day to pick up the fallen food.

But some of the food had already sprouted, and some had moldy, so how much of it could be eaten?

This was the first time Prince Rong had seen such a scene since he was a child. Thinking about the extravagant life in the capital before, and looking at the lives of the people, he had an indescribable feeling.

Yan Junchu heard that Prince Rong's arrangement was very appropriate. This time, Prince Rong really started to use his brain to do things, so he said to him: "Now that the war is over, I have written a memorial to return to the capital, and I will lead the troops to leave soon."

Prince Rong was shocked, "So soon? Who will take charge of Zhangping Prefecture?"

The officials of Zhangping Prefecture were all demoted by his eldest brother, and few survived. Now there is no leader. Who will take charge after his eldest brother leaves?

"Don't you have it?"

"Me? Are you kidding, how can I do it?" Prince Rong used to think that being a prince was completely fine, but now he doesn't dare to take over as the prefect of Zhangping Prefecture. Thinking and doing are completely different things.

"With you, the prince, here, Zhangping Prefecture will be stable. It doesn't matter whether you can do things or not. I will leave people to assist you."

King Rong:......

Emotionally, he is a mascot.

"After the war, everything is in ruins. Seventh brother, the border requires you and your caravan. Before the court sends new officials to take over, I hope you can guard this place, appease the people, and revive the prosperity of the border as soon as possible. "

The corner of King Rong's mouth twitched. Did his elder brother have any misunderstanding about him?

Is this something he can do?

"Brother, this..."

Is it a little too difficult?

"I believe in you, seventh brother, you will definitely be able to do it well."

King Rong met his elder brother's eyes full of trust and expectation, and thought about the people in the city who were short of food and clothing, and the soldiers waiting for treatment, he agreed with tears in his eyes.

Who makes him a good person?

"I leave Xu Mengshu and Wu Shun to you. These two are both civil and military, so I can rest assured." Yan Junchu said.

King Rong was stunned, "Isn't Wu Shun from Su Xin...sister-in-law?"

Yan Junchu looked at King Rong and smiled, "Husband and wife are one, what's the difference between you and me."

King Rong:......

Why not just bully him for not having a wife?

But still so sad.

As stingy as Su Xinyi is, who of her people can be borrowed for help? That is to say, the eldest brother is so lucky.

There is also Xu Mengshu, Xu Mengshu is kind and thoughtful, and the ministers of the East Palace, with him around, King Rong finally feels more at ease.

The fish has bitten the hook, and Yan Junchu is eager to return to Beijing, and the army will set off the next day.

The day before he left, he asked for a Bible exposition.

Jie Jing Lue did not expect the prince to meet him, and was a little uneasy when he saw the prince.

"I pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jie Jinglue stepped forward to salute when he saw the Crown Prince.

Yan Junchu looked at the explanation and said with a slight smile: "Today we will not focus on court affairs but on family affairs. Sit down and talk."

Housework?

Jie Jing Shou's nervousness became even tighter. He did not dare to have a relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince.

Yan Junchu looked at the explanation and smiled, "Speaking of how we met briefly in Jing'an Mansion, I didn't expect that we became a family later."

Jie Jinglue's expression slowly softened as he listened to the prince mentioning the affairs of Jing'an Mansion. At that time, he coveted Bai Wei, but the marriage had not yet been completed, so it was not the time to show off.

"I didn't expect this, either." Jie Jing briefly thought about what his Highness could do to continue the family affairs with him. He probably didn't do anything to displease His Highness.

The interpreter's mind was spinning rapidly, and he heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask again: "I heard that the Crown Princess said that you and your eldest sister had a son after your marriage. Congratulations on the birth of Lin'er."

When the interpreter heard the prince's words about "eldest sister", he almost jumped up in fright. It is true that his wife is the crown prince's eldest sister, but who dares to let the prince recognize this sister.

I didn't expect His Highness to say such a sentence so easily. The Bible Executor's mind was spinning quickly and he said: "Thank you, Your Highness. The addition of a little skin monkey has really added a lot of excitement to the house."

"Really? I heard that your eldest son has a very lively temperament."

Jinglue is about to break into a cold sweat. What does Your Highness mean by this? Is he afraid that Bai Wei will be bullied at home?

Who dares to do this.

If Bai Wei was bullied, even Su Xinyi would dare to kill him single-handedly.

He was afraid that he thought his life was too long. Besides, Bai Wei was educated, sensible, gentle and kind. He was lucky to marry her, and it was too late for him to cherish her.

Speaking of his eldest son, Jie Jing had a look of vicissitudes on his face. He looked at His Highness and said: "Your Highness, the child's biological mother passed away early. The child stayed at home for a long time. His grandparents doted on him, and his temper was a bit unruly. But that was in the past, now with the guidance of my wife and the younger sister Youyun, my temperament has changed a lot. "

"Really?" Yan Junchu smiled, "That's good. When my eldest sister takes the child back to Beijing to visit relatives in the future, let her bring the child to show me."

Brief Exegesis:…

No need for that.

When talking about family affairs, Yan Junchu didn't mention a word about political affairs, and served tea to see off the guests in an hour.

After Jie Jinglue came out of the prince's place, he breathed a long sigh of relief and returned to his camp. Fan Pengchi immediately came up to him, "My lord, your highness has nothing to do with you, right?"

Jie Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing, everything has been handed over? When do we break camp?"

"His Highness will return to Beijing tomorrow, at least until His Highness leaves." Fan Pengchi said.

The interpreter nodded slightly, "You go get ready, and I'll take a rest."

After returning to his military tent, he lay down for a while. His Highness was so busy with his affairs, how could he care about the family affairs of a commander stationed abroad? In the final analysis, it was because Bai Wei was the sister of the Crown Princess.

From this point of view, the Crown Princess still holds a lot of weight in His Highness's heart. If he goes back and tells his wife, she will feel at ease.

When Xin Yi wanted to enter the East Palace, his wife was worried, but now it looks like a good match.

Who would have thought that His Highness's taste is so special.

My sister-in-law is good, but a bit too awesome.

However, it has nothing to do with him, and he is not the one to marry her.

***

When the prince's teacher returned to the capital, King Rong saw him off with tears, which made the only remaining officials in the Zhangping Mansion look at each other in shock.

It is rumored that King Rong Ai is going against His Highness, but this is not like it.

The news of the victory of the army and its return to the capital reached back to the capital. Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. He read the letter written by His Highness. Although he won this time, Southern Qi suffered a lot of casualties. Not only did the Tatars need to recuperate and rest, but also the Southern Qi It will also take time to stabilize the people and rebuild.

It is an important border town, and His Majesty will probably ask His Majesty to adjust the defense when he comes back.

Su Xinyi was well aware of these court affairs, and when he went to see the queen again, he told her about King Rong's stay in Zhangping Mansion.

The queen's expression changed, "Why can't he come back?"

Of course the queen hopes her son will come back as soon as possible. What's the point of staying in a place like Border Gate? It's so hard.

The prince is coming back, what is he doing here?

Su Xinyi knew that the queen valued her son very much, so she said with a smile: "Mother, my seventh brother is about to start a family and start a business. Wouldn't it be more glorious for him to return to Beijing to marry his bride when he becomes famous?"

The queen instantly caught two words, "Meritorious service?"

Su Xinyi nodded slightly, "After the war, everything is ready to be done, and the seventh brother is holding the caravan that his father asked him to lead. You said that such a huge good thing has happened to the seventh brother, and he can still give up halfway? Come back? The capital is like a carrot and a pit, so how can he be given so much credit? How many people are competing for his head. "

The Queen felt a little displeased by what the Crown Princess said. Why should her son take the credit?

However, it is indeed not easy to make meritorious service in the capital.

"His Royal Highness wrote a letter saying that the seventh brother will be temporarily in charge of the Zhangping Mansion. If the Zhangping Mansion can be managed well, it will also show the seventh brother's ability. After the father knows about it, he will definitely be satisfied with the seventh brother."

The queen felt that Su Xinyi's words made sense, but something seemed to be wrong. It took her a while to remember that her son was a talented person in governing the place, and her expression suddenly became subtle.

You can't make a success without making a mistake.

"Prince Rong..." The queen considered how to express her son's incompetence tactfully.

Su Xinyi rolled his eyes, and then said: "His Royal Highness also said that it was the first time for the seventh brother to take charge of a party. He was afraid that he would be too busy, so he left Xu Mengshu beside him, and also asked Wu Shun to stay with him to protect the safety of the seventh brother. , The Queen Mother is relieved that Your Highness has made arrangements."

Queen:......

I feel very complicated. The relationship between the prince and her son is already so good? She knows Xu Mengshu, the prince's right-hand man and a famous think tank among the ministers of the East Palace.

Looking at the queen's expression, Su Xinyi knew that she had succeeded in gaining favor with the prince.

How can you do good deeds without leaving your name behind? Your Highness doesn't care, but she can't care less.

If there is an alliance with the queen, there must be enough benefits to tie her up, otherwise she will definitely switch sides at any time.

The Queen cares most about her son. Fortunately, King Rong is now on the same boat with His Highness. Otherwise, how could things go so smoothly?

The queen's mood was up and down. Looking at Su Xinyi again, she felt more pleasing to the eye than before, so she said with a smile: "The prince is thoughtful, thank you for your hard work."

"His Highness has always been friendly to brothers, and besides, the seventh brother has always been on good terms with His Highness, so His Highness is willing to go to trouble for him." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

The queen was very satisfied. Anyway, her son could not beat the prince, so he could not be compared with Concubine Li's son.

The Queen looked at the Crown Princess again and asked, "Today the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion is entering the palace, do you want to stay?"

Su Xinyi was surprised. She didn't expect the queen to ask her this. Of course she wanted to. She just wanted to see how thick Mrs. Wu Anhou's face was to do such a disgusting thing.

"If the daughter-in-law stays, will it make it difficult for the mother to be a queen?" Su Xinyi asked with a considerate look.

"What's the matter? If you want to stay, just stay." The queen also didn't like Mrs. Wu'anhou. Mrs. Wu'anhou was the sister-in-law of the first queen, and her successor always had some indescribable feelings towards her.

"It would be disrespectful for my daughter-in-law to refuse."

The queen rolled her eyes inwardly, hum, the Crown Princess Su Xinyi is really...forget it, she doesn't care about her, she is in a good mood now.

Su Xinyi stayed peacefully in Yuanhui Palace. Concubine Li and others came to pay their respects to the queen. Su Xinyi remained a wooden figure throughout the whole day without saying a word.

After Concubine Li and others left, the queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Concubine Li asked a beautiful little palace maid to follow Prince Xiang back to the palace yesterday."

Su Xinyi was stunned and looked up at the queen and this matter.

Seeing Su Xinyi's surprised look, the queen chuckled and said, "Just watch, the child in Fuyun's belly is probably not safe. This little palace maid was favored in the past."

Su Xinyi felt that things were not very optimistic. She thought for a while and said: "Fuyun's appearance is not particularly outstanding. It is not his appearance that makes him so favored."

Fuyun's appearance was different from that of a great beauty like Su Xinyi, and even more beautiful than Xiaojiabiyu. The key was that this person was so favored, and she was sure it wasn't just his face.

The queen looked a little solemn when she heard Su Xinyi's words, "Really?"

These days, beauties are not scary. What is scary is that beauties have scheming intentions.

"Yes." Su Xinyi sighed, "On the way back from Ding'an Guard, my daughter-in-law met Fuyun several times. This woman is not like a fisherman's girl. She acts and speaks very steadily, and is also quite polite in her words and deeds. She doesn’t look like a fisherman who grew up in the countryside.”

"Are you doubting Fuyun's life experience?"

"No, I just think that Fuyun's parents can bring her up like this, which shows that they are very careful. Since they are careful, there must be a plan." Su Xinyi said.

"Doesn't this mean that she will fall in love with Prince Xiang?" The queen thought to herself that this person is sometimes destined to die. Who could have thought that she could be the queen back then? After the first queen passed away, she thought that your majesty would straighten Concubine Li, but in the end, your majesty changed her mind. The leader chose himself as his successor.

She has never expected to be a queen since she was born, but now that she has taken the throne, don't try to push her away easily.

"What the queen mother said is true. It is a good thing for people to have foresight. When Fu Yun ascends to heaven, his family will also be honored." Su Xinyi said with a smile.

Su Xinyi thought about Xu Yurong again. Xu Yurong was the niece of the queen. If the queen knew that Xu Yurong and Fu Yun were involved, I wonder what she would think.

Su Xinyi thought about it seriously. Since Xu Yurong was involved in this matter, the Shu family might be involved. Now that the queen is on the same boat with her, she can use the queen's hand to let the Shu family come forward, and she is just behind.
