460: I Am Just a Big Carrot

Su Xinyi stood up, looked at Su Xixian first and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, if you have nothing important to do, I will talk to you when I get back."

Su Xixian hurriedly waved her hands, "Go and get busy."

Su Xinyi followed Su Chu out, and Su Xixian sat back down next to Su Lanqian.

Su Lanxi looked at her and said softly: "The fourth aunt has her own ideas, so don't be impulsive."

"Second sister, I know. I have no other ideas. I just saw that the sixth sister didn't seem to understand what the fourth aunt was thinking, so I wanted to talk to her."

Su Lanxi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "The relationship between the fourth aunt and the fourth uncle is very good. It is difficult for the fourth aunt to adopt a child."

"Well, the second sister is right." Su Xixian nodded, because she has a good relationship, so she doesn't need an adoptive child to comfort herself. She used to sneer at these things, what's the use of a good relationship? Her aunt who has a good relationship is not a concubine. Some things cannot be determined by whether the relationship is good or bad.

However, after she got married, her relationship with her husband became better and better, and now she suddenly understood what it meant to rather lack than to indulge.

Now that she is visiting her aunt again, she understands her somewhat.

Fortunately, my aunt was lucky enough to meet a mistress like her aunt, otherwise her life would not be so easy and comfortable.

If it were her, she would never be able to act like her aunt.

So now Su Xixian is really respectful and filial to her aunt, and she hopes she can make up for the things her aunt did wrong.

Just because she understood, the fourth aunt didn't want to adopt an adopted child. She could understand the feeling. If she had to make the decision on this matter, she probably wouldn't want to adopt an adopted child.

What is adopted is not the husband’s and cannot be replaced.

Su Xinyi didn't know that her sisters at home were worried about her, so she went to the study to meet her third uncle.

The third master watched Xin Yi come in, looked at Su Chu and said, "Bring a chair to your sister."

Su Chu moved a chair and placed it in front of the desk. Su Xinyi walked over and looked at the third master, "Third uncle, why did you come to see me?"

"Sit down and talk." Third Master pointed to the chair.

Su Xinyi sat down with a smile and looked at a map on the table. She was very familiar with this map and she had one herself.

It's just that the third uncle is serving in the palace guard army. What is he doing looking at the map outside the wall?

Su Chu brought tea over, one for each person, and then he also sat down beside him.

"Third Uncle, this map looks a bit familiar." Su Xinyi took another look. It was not unusual for military generals to get the border map, but the one on the table was the same as the one in her own East Palace in many places. Very strange.

You know, her map is different from others. There are places where the caravan has passed, and she has expanded new areas on the map.

Mr. Su laughed, looked at Xin Yi and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave this to me. You must be familiar with it."

Su Xinyi glanced at Third Uncle in surprise, "Your Highness gave it to you? But, what did Your Highness give this to Third Uncle?"

The government guards will not go to the border to fight.

The Third Master looked at Xin Yi meaningfully and spoke slowly and unhurriedly, "His Highness said that this year there may be 48 guards in the capital and 12 guards in your own army, which should disrupt the reset."

Su Xinyi was surprised, "I didn't hear His Highness mention this matter."

"This is something that His Highness has only mentioned in the past few days. His Highness is very busy with King Yi's affairs. It's okay to tell you if he doesn't think of it for a moment."

Su Xinyi nodded slightly. If the capital and the guards were changed, would this mean that the imperial court had the intention to send troops?

Let the forty-eight guards in the capital take turns to go to the border to show off their skills?

"Uncle San, do you have any intention of going to the border?" Su Xinyi asked in a deep voice.

Mr. Su made a "tsk" sound, knowing that he couldn't hide it from this girl, so he nodded happily, "Your uncle is still young and can lead the charge when going into battle. While the court has plans to train troops, I am going to take you with me." Let me open my eyes as a brother, what can I do if I stay at home?"

Su Chu's eyes shone brightly. Among their brothers, only the eldest brother was the only one. The second brother was really experienced, especially since the eldest brother followed him on several expeditions. They had already been itchy. How could they hear this? Not moved.

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "This year, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother will all get married, right?"

"It doesn't matter if we get married a year earlier or later, we just have to settle the marriage first." The third master said nonchalantly.

Su Chu also looked at Xin Yi and said, "Sixth sister, given such a good opportunity, we are naturally willing to obey our father's orders."

Su Xinyi looked at Su Chu Yile and said, "Fifth brother, when I asked you to give up civility and join the martial arts, you were all reluctant. Why are you so impatient now?"

Su Chu's face turned slightly red, and he coughed lightly and said, "Sixth sister, I'm not afraid of your jokes as a brother. We went to Suizhou last time and saw the world outside, and then we realized that we had been thinking too narrowly. ”

"Have you ever mentioned this matter to your grandfather?" Su Xinyi naturally had no objection. The only animals raised in captivity were lambs. If he wanted to develop his true skills, he would have to fight twice with real swords and guns.

Besides, if there are family members taking it with them, there is not much danger.

"I will talk to your grandfather. I want to discuss it with you. If you really want to go, where do you think it is better to go?" The third master looked up at Xin Yi, "You went to the border last time and you called After a few battles, it should be clearer.”

Although Master Su San is the commander of the Fuwei Army, the Fuwei Army has not been on the expedition for many years, and His Majesty does not allow the guards to have private exchanges with each other, so he is not as clear about the situation at the border as Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi thought carefully and said, "Compared with Zhangping Prefecture, Yulin Guard and Yunxiang Guard, I am least familiar with Zhangping Prefecture. The commander who was replaced later made me never meet him and we have no friendship. Commander Jie of Yulin Guard and I have some friendship. Commander Zhang of Yunxiang Guard also joined forces to fight against the Tartars last time. If I have to choose one, I will definitely choose Yulin Guard."

Speaking of this, Su Xinyi looked up at his third uncle, "But if you really want several brothers to go, it is better to disperse them."

Master Su San nodded, "Of course, carrots cannot be put in the same pit. What you said makes sense."

Su Chu: ...

He is also one of the carrots.

In addition to this matter, Master Su San put away the map, looked at Xinyi and hesitated, and said: "There is another thing, which I, as your uncle, should not tell you, but it is related to the Eastern Palace, so I have to remind you."

Su Xinyi was a little confused and said: "Uncle San, you tell me."

Master San sighed lightly, "You guessed it even if I didn't say it, right?"

"For the selection?"

Master Su San nodded, "Yes, what do you think?"

Su Xinyi certainly couldn't tell her family that His Highness promised her a lifetime. It's not that she didn't trust His Highness, but this life is too long. The oath made under the flowers and the moon, until the moment of burial, no one can guarantee whether it will change.

Besides, if this matter gets out, it will not be good for His Highness or her.

After all, His Highness is the crown prince of a country, and Su Xinyi can't tell the truth to her family.

After a quick thought, she knew that her family had good intentions, so she smiled and said, "Third Uncle, don't worry. The court is busy right now, so His Highness has no time to think about the selection. Besides, I'm pregnant now, so His Highness won't let anyone into the Eastern Palace to make things difficult for me."

Mr. Su San was really relieved when he heard this. No one knew Xiaoliu's temper better than her family. She couldn't stand any grievances. If a new person really entered the Eastern Palace, they were afraid that they would have to collect the body in a few days.

It's best that His Highness doesn't have this thought now.

"That's good, that's good, the family is relieved." Master Su laughed, "Besides, don't be afraid even if there is a new person, the family members are standing behind you."

Su Xinyi's heart warmed up and nodded, "I know, Uncle San, don't worry, I will act cautiously."

Master Su San was relieved and looked at Su Chu, "Send your sixth sister to have dinner and talk with your fourth aunt. After dinner, you can send your sister back to the East Palace safely."

Su Chu agreed and walked out with Xinyi.

After leaving his father's yard, Su Chu said softly: "Sixth sister, we can't say too much about the affairs of the Eastern Palace, but the brothers are all on your side, don't be afraid." "Yes." Su Xinyi's hand tightly grasped the handkerchief, and showed a big smile to Su Chu, "With the elders and brothers here, I'm not afraid at all." Su Chu was very grateful for what Xinyi did for his aunt and sister. He was naturally willing to protect Xinyi if she had any problems, so he said to her: "Aunt has always wanted to thank you, but her identity is not suitable for her to see you, so let me convey it to you." "Aunt Weng is too polite. This time, Aunt Weng made a lot of efforts to overthrow King Yi, and she is a meritorious person." Su Xinyi smiled, "Fifth brother, you and Weng Auntie said that Your Highness and I will remember her contributions, and when you come back with merit in the future, all will be accumulated on you. "

Su Chu waved his hands hurriedly, "That's not allowed."

"Yes, only by doing this, Auntie Weng will feel at ease. Fifth brother, just for Auntie Weng to live in the mansion with peace of mind, you have to agree."

Su Chu's eyes were slightly red, and he stopped and said to Xinyi: "Sixth sister, as a brother, I won't say thank you. If you have anything in the future, just tell your fifth brother."

"Okay, I have a lot of things here, just don't find me annoying, fifth brother."

"Of course not." Su Chu's mood suddenly became relaxed. He was very willing to talk to his sixth sister, and his heart was open as he talked.

Su Xinyi went to the backyard and sat down to eat. Sure enough, everyone at the table was worried about the selection, especially the fourth lady, who was full of worry.

Su Xinyi repeated what she said to the third uncle, and everyone smiled happily.

The lady looked at Xinyi and said, "Your Highness is the crown prince, and there will be more and more people around him in the future. Xinyi, grandma can't advise you on this matter, but I hope you can think it through. If you marry an ordinary family, your family can still support you, but Your Highness..."

"Grandma, I know, don't worry." Su Xinyi said with a smile, "Don't say that Your Highness is busy with official duties and has no time to select people. Even if I really select people to enter the East Palace in the future, I have the support of the emperor and the queen. Who dares to act wildly against me?"

Su Xixian said humorously, "Yes, our sixth lady's sword is not for display."

"Don't teach your sister bad things." The third lady looked at Xixian and said hurriedly, "You girl, now that you are married and living a happy life, you dare to say anything."

The third lady is getting along better and better with Su Xixian now, and her words are much closer than before. Although they are scolding, they sound a bit close and protective.

Su Xinyi glanced at Su Xixian jokingly.

Su Xixian blushed and heard everyone laughing.

The eldest lady looked at Xin Yi and said warmly: "Xin Yi, you don't have to be afraid. Our family can't stop the East Palace draft, but we will support you. No matter who enters the East Palace, if they dare to be disrespectful to you, you don't have to be polite. Just be polite." that is."

The fourth lady was sitting next to Xin Yi, holding her daughter's hand, looking at her and saying seriously: "When you encounter something difficult, just tell your mother, don't have any scruples about wronging yourself."

Su Xinyi nodded quickly, "Mom, am I the one who wronged me?"

When the fourth lady thought about it, it was true that her family had never been afraid of anyone. "Then you should be careful and don't beat people up. It's not easy to deal with the aftermath at home."

Su Xinyi was so happy that everyone laughed along with him.

Su Lanxi said from the side: "Sixth sister, I have received the news. Many people are watching the East Palace. Especially in the case of King Yi, His Royal Highness has made great contributions. It is a hot topic now. If you really want to enter, you have to think about it." Choose.”

Before Su Xinyi could speak, Su Chaoyan rarely said, "I heard from Princess Jing that the Lantern Festival matters may be a bit tricky. Sixth Sister, you have to be more careful."

When it comes to the Lantern Festival, everyone talks a lot.

Su Xixian asked very curiously: "Sixth sister, Pei Huiran really wants to enter Prince Rong's palace, right? If so, there will be some trouble."

"That is, the Pei family has always wanted to ease the relationship with the East Palace, but failed to do so. If Pei Huiran enters Prince Rong's mansion, I wonder if it will sow discord between His Royal Highness Prince Rong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Su Lanqian reminded Xin Yi while looking at her.

The eldest lady listened to the chatter of the juniors and said: "With the queen here, it will not be easy for Miss Pei to enter Prince Rong's palace. Besides, Princess Rong is at fault in this matter. Then Princess Wu is at fault. Even more so, with Concubine Ruan Ming’s caution and intelligence, I am afraid she will take the initiative to admit her mistake and let Pei Huiran enter Prince Wu’s Mansion.”

Su Xinyi glanced at her eldest aunt. When she heard what her eldest aunt said, she actually felt that it made sense. She had never thought about it that way.

Concubine Ruan Ming really did not want to offend the Queen, but the Queen's daughter-in-law was involved in this matter. How could Concubine Ruan not be afraid of the Queen's anger? If she could calm down the Queen's anger, her eldest aunt would be at least 50% sure.

The second lady, who had been watching everyone eat and drink, also said something at this time, "The Ji family has collapsed. Princess Wu has been doing things that damage her reputation since she married into Prince Wu's mansion. I'm afraid that Concubine Ruan Ming has long been unwilling to treat her." Be patient. If Miss Pei is allowed to enter the palace, she will be able to suppress Princess Wu with her background, and her life will be difficult in the future. "

Su Xinyi's thoughts changed when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
