Once the Crown Prince Joins In

319: Why Do I Feel so Disgusting?

Su Xinyi had always had a normal impression of Fu Yun, but she thought that the two of them would not have any intersection, so she didn't take her seriously.

After all, she was just a concubine of the King of Xiang, and even if she was in trouble, it was only in the backyard of the King of Xiang's mansion.

But now she didn't think it was necessarily the case. Fu Yun hooked up with Xu Yurong and Yan Qiongsi, so she couldn't think about it with a normal mind.

Yan Junchu patted Xinyi's hands after hearing her words, "You don't have to do anything to move her."

"What do you mean?"

"During the time I was away from Beijing, the King of Xiang has been making moves in private, and Concubine Li has high hopes for her son. If Concubine Li knew that Fuyun had damaged the reputation of the King of Xiang..."

"Of course she would not sit still and wait for death."

Yan Junchu smiled and nodded slightly, "Why dirty your hands with such a villain?"

Su Xinyi:...

Since His Highness has already made up his mind, she naturally doesn't need to worry about it, so she said, "Then I'll wait for good news."

"Well." Yan Junchu smiled and agreed, looking at Su Xinyi, "You just need to take care of the summer banquet now."

He is her crown princess, and when he sits on that position in the future, she will be his queen, and she will be the mother of the world, and her reputation cannot be flawed.

Ayuan herself doesn't care, but he does.

He knows that for him, Ayuan will protect him even if she gives up her own reputation, but he is her husband, so he naturally has to think carefully for her.

Yan Junchu went to the Minguang Palace, called Huang Zhongsheng, looked at him and said: "Spread the news that the prince of Xiang was greedy for women and disrespected Li Guifei, and Li Guifei took her anger out on Aunt Fu and caused her to have a miscarriage. Everyone must know it."

Huang Zhongsheng's eyes lit up. His Highness finally figured it out. He suppressed his excitement and said seriously: "I will do it right away. Your Majesty often says that filial piety is the foundation. Your Highness the Prince of Xiang really went too far. Li Guifei was bullied by a concubine in the palace. It's really outrageous."

Hearing the word "humiliation", Yan Junchu's mouth twitched. Huang Zhongsheng's work really pleased him, but he said: "Don't exaggerate too much, just be realistic."

Huang Zhongsheng listened to this and sighed again in his heart. His Highness was really kind. The prince of Xiang colluded with court officials in private, but the prince still let his brother go. However, his highness was kind, but they, as staff, could not.

"Your Highness, the summer banquet is coming soon. This juncture is a great opportunity. I know you are thinking about the brotherhood, but His Highness Prince Xiang does not take you as his brother to heart. Please forgive me for not agreeing to your Highness this time." Huang Zhongsheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. He stood up and turned around and left.

Yan Junchu smiled at Huang Zhongsheng's back. It was good.

Huang Zhongsheng went to find Wang Ce. The two discussed how to do this matter. The two discussed excitedly for a long time. Wang Ce wrote in the study for a long time, and then left the East Palace with a book.

The next day, teahouses and restaurants in various places in the capital, wherever there were storytellers, told a new story. The things about Prince Xiang's mansion spread in the capital in an instant.

The cook who bought vegetables in the Qiguogong Mansion returned to the mansion and told the kitchen staff what she heard. Everyone listened with relish.

"Old Xu, is what you said true? His Highness the Prince of Xiang disobeyed Concubine Li for a concubine? That's impossible." Another cook in the kitchen asked while kneading dough, how good was the reputation of the Prince of Xiang before.

"I don't know if it's true or not, but the storyteller said it with details. Do you think if the Prince of Xiang didn't like this concubine Fu, would he bring her back to the capital from thousands of miles away?"

"Didn't you say that she saved my life? It's okay to take her back to repay her."

"Bah! If she looks pretty, you can marry her. If she looks like a yaksha, how can you bring her back? What's the point of repaying a favor? There are many ways to repay a favor. Why do you have to put her on the couch? In the end, isn't it because she looks pretty?"

This made everyone laugh at once, which made some sense.

"If you say so, this concubine Fu is really capable. Prince Xiang used to be such a filial person, but now he is disobeying Concubine Li for her. This is really unimaginable."

"That's right, she looks more capable than Concubine Weng in our mansion..."

"Shut up, how can you say that?"

The person who spoke immediately covered his mouth, knowing that he had said something wrong, and smiled at everyone, but he didn't agree in his heart. Concubine Weng is really capable. The Third Master is such a powerful person. He is so majestic outside, but he still changes his face to Concubine Weng when he returns home.

If Concubine Fu is more powerful than Concubine Weng, it doesn't seem strange.

The eldest lady frowned when she heard Song Ju say what she heard in the kitchen. "Has it spread all over the outside world?"

"Yes, the cook who bought vegetables for our house came back and said that she heard the storyteller tell it with her own ears?"

"Where did she hear it from?"

"It's the restaurant where we often go to buy pickles. Isn't there a storyteller in the restaurant? He told this story this morning." Song Ju said hurriedly.

The eldest lady frowned. Today was a summer banquet, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen. She looked up at Song Ju and said, "Send someone to find out if there are other storytellers in the capital who tell this story."

Seeing the eldest lady's serious expression, Song Ju didn't dare to laugh anymore. He immediately turned around and ordered someone to investigate the matter.

This matter spread quickly outside, and it was easy to find out the news from the eldest lady. After getting the confirmation, she didn't even bother to eat breakfast and went directly to the courtyard of the old lady.

The madam had just sat down to eat. Seeing the eldest lady coming in a hurry, she smiled and said to her, "Why so early? You haven't eaten yet? Let's eat together here."

It's not the time to say hello, so there must be something wrong with this person coming over.

The eldest lady couldn't take care of eating, so she quickly told the story, "Mom, who do you think released this news? With so many storytellers talking about this together, not everyone can do it. "

The madam's expression was also a little solemn. She looked at the eldest daughter-in-law and asked, "What do you think?"

The eldest lady felt a little panicked. The men in the family went to the yamen and went to the yamen. No one was seen. She thought about it and said, "Do you think it could be His Highness?"

This His Highness is naturally the one from my family.

The Dowager Queen then said: "Can't we all admit it? Today is the summer banquet. Please tell your fourth brother and sister to be careful in your words and deeds, so as not to bring trouble to the Crown Princess."

After finishing speaking, the Tai Madam looked at the Eldest Madam again, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always acted openly and aboveboard. Such methods were not his fault, but it is inevitable that someone will cause trouble. In short, we must be careful."

When the eldest lady heard what the eldest wife said, she felt that it made some sense. How could a person as famous as the Crown Prince do such a thing? "My daughter-in-law knows about it. I'll go tell my fourth younger sister and brother about it right now."

Not only the Duke of Qi is talking about this matter, but countless officials and people in the capital are talking about it. In fact, it is obvious at a glance that someone did it deliberately, and there are many speculations in private.

In Prince Xiang's Mansion, Fu Yun wore a forehead wipe on her head. She was very weak after a miscarriage and had been raised in the house. Her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. She listened to the girl Shuang Wen next to her talking about what happened outside. It's white with a hint of cyan.

She rolled her eyes and spoke softly, "Who did you hear about this?"

Shuangwen looked at his aunt with a scary look on her face. She hurried over and said with concern: "Auntie, you look very bad. Why don't I ask the doctor to come and take a look first?"

Fuyun shook his head weakly, looking at Shuangwen with his bright black eyes.

Shuang Wen's heart softened and he immediately said, "It was the people in the kitchen who said it. As you know, aunt, the people who buy things in the kitchen leave the house every morning. They heard it from outside."

Fuyun shed tears when he heard this, "I don't know who is so cruel. They want to force me to die."

When Shuangwen saw Aunt Fu crying so miserably, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, please don't cry. You are still in confinement. It is not good for your eyes. The prince has asked the slave to take good care of Auntie. You must take care of yourself."

Fuyun cried even harder when he heard this, "Shuangwen, you have been serving me since I entered the house. Do you think I am that kind of person?"

Shuang Wen thought that his aunt was really not that kind of person. It was the aunt who persuaded the prince to accept the beautiful palace servant sent by the imperial concubine. Hey, I don’t know who had a black heart to slander my aunt like this.

"Auntie, I will make the decision for you when the prince comes back, but you must not cry anymore." Shuangwen immediately advised.

Fuyun cried so hard that he could hardly breathe. He looked at Shuangwen and said, "If it's because of me that the prince's reputation has been tarnished, what's the point of me still living? It would be better to die. I can't drag down the prince with my humble life."

Shuangwen sighed and hurriedly comforted Aunt Fu. She was also worried. What should I do?

There are rumors outside that my aunt is like a seductress. If His Majesty finds out about this... Shuangwen doesn't dare to think about it. The only one who can hate my aunt so much is the imperial concubine in the palace. Is it really true? Did the imperial concubine make it?

If this is true... Shuangwen feels that his aunt is really pitiful.

How will we spend our days from now on?

I heard that His Majesty wanted several princes to get wives. When the princess came in, Shuang Wen felt that her aunt was really miserable.

"Auntie, why don't you ask someone to deliver a message to the prince? You must let the prince know about such a big event." Shuang Wen thought for a while before making up his mind.

Fu Yun's face was full of sorrow, "It's better not to tell the prince, lest the prince find out and be upset."

Listening to his aunt's considerate words, Shuangwen felt that it was more appropriate to tell the prince, so he sent his aunt to rest, then quietly went to the front yard, and asked the guard next to the prince to pass the message.

This is what the prince told her. If there is an emergency, she will have someone send a message.

After Fuyun waited for Shuangwen to go out, he slowly opened his closed eyes and stared at the top of the tent. He chuckled for a long time and subconsciously touched his belly.

She had known for a long time that this child could not be saved.

Concubine Li disliked her and even disliked her. How could she be allowed to give birth to the child before Princess Xiang who had not yet entered the family? From the beginning, she had not thought about giving birth to this child.

However, the development of things now is a bit beyond her expectation. It is completely different from what that person said. What should she do next?

Fu Yun frowned and thought about it carefully, but she couldn't think of a better way. However, she could imagine that Concubine Li would hate her even more after knowing this.

Such things will only bring bad influence to the prince. How could Concubine Li give up? How should she deal with it?

At the Ministry of Household Affairs, Shang Junyan, who was on duty, listened to his colleagues talking about what was going on outside. He fell silent after listening to a few words.

Now this life is already different from the previous one. King Rong has become His Highness the Crown Prince's follower, and follows His Highness the Crown Prince's lead in everything.

What surprised him was King Xiang. In his previous life, King Xiang had always kept a low profile. In the palace, the Crown Prince was His Royal Highness, the eldest son that His Majesty always valued very much. King Rong was His Majesty’s favorite son. Of course, King Xiang’s situation was worse than that of King Wu and King Wu. King Jing is good, but he is low-key and doesn't have much sense of presence. However, Concubine Li is more famous than this son because she is favored.

But this life is different. Prince Xiang is more high-profile than in the previous life. Now that something like this happened again, I just... don't know what to say.

"Master Shang, what on earth do you think is going on?"

When Shang Junyan heard his colleagues asking about him, he still shook his head silently. His colleagues were very used to such a silent and capable Shang Junyan and did not continue to question him. Everyone began to speculate with interest on who did it.

There was a lot of noise in the room, and Shang Junyan's mind was buzzing, and he sat there quietly in a daze.

In his previous life, he always cleaned up King Rong's messes. In order to make him stand upright in front of His Majesty, he kept running out, just to bring glory to King Rong and achieve political achievements for him.

He didn't do that in this life, and King Rong didn't confront the prince like he did in his previous life, so it was King Xiang who jumped out now?

Shang Junyan's brows furrowed slightly, and he heard his colleague say something else, "I heard that today's summer banquet was hosted by the Queen and the Crown Princess. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Didn't you say that the Queen and the Crown Princess were at odds?"

"Who said that?"

Shang Junyan stood up and walked out to take a breath. Hearing everyone mention the princess, he hadn't seen Su Xinyi for a long time.

I don't know why, but I feel a little irritable for no reason.

Su Xinyi was always straightforward in doing things, so this kind of thing was definitely not done by him.

But after listening to colleagues speculating that it might be Concubine Li, he also felt that it was unlikely. He suspected that His Highness the Crown Prince did it.

Everyone said that His Highness the Crown Prince was honest and kind, but he had fought with His Highness many times in his previous life, and he knew in his heart that His Highness the Crown Prince was not a soft-hearted person.

Thinking of this, Shang Junyan took a deep breath. What does this have to do with him? Now he is a person who is not even qualified to participate in the Spring Banquet.

At this time, Su Xinyi didn't know what was going on outside, and was following the queen's director, giving instructions one by one. The two of them were busy going around early in the morning.

After finally coming up with a clue, the queen took Su Xinyi to have breakfast together.

This was her first time having breakfast at Yuanhui Palace.

The Queen looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You have a good breakfast. I don't know when you can have a bite of lunch with peace of mind."

Su Xinyi nodded hurriedly and pretended to listen sincerely. The queen was indeed very satisfied.

Just as she was talking, Aunt Zhao came in, bent down beside the queen and whispered a few words.

Su Xinyi ate at her dining table, which was full of meals, much richer than when she was in the East Palace.

As soon as he swallowed a mouthful of porridge, he heard the queen say in surprise, "Is there such a good thing?"

Su Xinyi's ears twitched and she raised her head to look at the queen. When she saw the queen, her eyebrows suddenly lit up.

The queen's mood suddenly improved. She looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "Such good news cannot be hidden. You should quickly go to Zhaoyu Palace and talk to Concubine Li."

Aunt Zhao quickly responded and turned around to leave.

The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "Today there are rumors that King Xiang was greedy for women and disobeyed Concubine Li, and Concubine Li killed her and caused Aunt Fu to have a miscarriage."

Su Xinyi:......

She remembered what His Highness said yesterday to leave it to him, so this is what His Highness did?

Why do you feel so obscene?

It didn't look like the bright and majestic image of His Highness at all. She immediately made a look of surprise and surprise, "Mother, this is really good news."

The queen didn't like Su Xinyi's straightforward nature before, but now she really likes her. This makes people happy.

"Concubine Li Gui must be in a bad mood today. You should avoid her and don't let her find an opportunity to embarrass you." The queen looked at Su Xinyi and warned her carefully, "There are so many ladies coming to the summer banquet. In full view of everyone, you are a junior. It’s hard to deal with her.”

In private, it was okay for the Crown Princess Su Xinyi to speak more bluntly, but in such an occasion, she couldn't be so arbitrary as there was a Crown Prince behind her.

Thinking of this, the queen was really worried about Su Xinyi's unwillingness to suffer. She looked at her and warned her again: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. Think about the prince. In an occasion like today, be restrained. If Concubine Li is really If I’m trying to embarrass you, come to me directly.”

She has been fighting Concubine Li for so many years, but she is very experienced. Besides, she is a queen, so she has the advantage of status.

Su Xinyi was surprised to be honest. She didn't expect the queen to stand by her on such an occasion. She was not polite and immediately said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Queen Mother. I will definitely listen to Queen Mother."

The queen was willing to stand up for her, and she couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

Only by making the connection and interests between the Queen and the East Palace deeper, it will not be easy for the Queen to get off the East Palace's ship in the future.

Thinking about King Rong, Su Xinyi felt that all her acting skills in this life had been used on the Queen, and she was worthy of King Rong's protection of His Royal Highness.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Hurry up and eat."

Su Xinyi responded and took the time to eat. He had a feeling that today's banquet would be more lively than she expected.

His Highness's timing was really perfect for taking action.

Just very excited.

But the queen must not see it, and she has to look a little worried.

Her tough personality shows a worried side. Given the queen's personality, she will definitely pay more attention to her today.

This is good. Paying attention to her is equivalent to paying attention to Concubine Li.

The people from Wu'an Marquis's Mansion suddenly look forward to it.
