461: Smart Man Pei Huiran

"Miss Pei's appearance is better than that of Princess Wu, and it is indeed not to be underestimated." Su Xixian looked at Xinyi and said.

"Have you seen her?" Su Xinyi asked with a smile.

Su Xixian nodded, "Although this Miss Pei rarely comes out, she has come out after all. I met her once two years ago."

Su Xixian thought that instead of letting Pei Huiran enter the Rong Palace to make things difficult for Zhu Chanyi, it would be better to let Princess Wu compete with Ji Yun. She had to go back and mention it to the Queen.

Thinking of this, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Su Xinyi said goodbye after having lunch at home.

After returning to the East Palace, Su Xinyi asked Cuique to go to Yuanhui Palace to see if the Queen was free to see her.

She changed her clothes and came out, and Cuique came back and smiled at the Crown Princess and replied: "The Queen is free, please go over and talk to the Crown Princess."

Su Xinyi went to Yuanhui Palace.

When they arrived at Yuanhui Palace and met the queen, they saw that she looked fine. After greeting, they sat down.

The queen was dressed in casual clothes. She smiled and looked at Xinyi and asked, "Why did you come here in such a hurry? Is there something wrong?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "It's nothing else, it's the matter of the Lantern Festival."

When the queen mentioned this matter, her expression was very subtle. She looked at Xinyi and said, "Why are you still worrying about it? The most important thing is to keep the baby safe. But since you asked, do you have any ideas?"

Su Xinyi coughed lightly, "I do have an immature idea. It's the seventh brother's wife who was unlucky and was calculated by others, but we can't suffer this loss in silence. If the girl of the Pei family really entered the Rongwang Mansion, with the temperament of Wu'an Hou and his wife, I'm afraid there will be no peace."

The queen listened to this and nodded slightly with some disgust on her face, "What you said makes sense. If Miss Pei Er was not really innocent, I would not show mercy and would directly deal with her."

Su Xinyi listened to the queen's words and didn't expect that she had a good impression of Pei Huiran.

Seeing Xinyi's surprised look, the Queen said, "Miss Pei confessed to me in private."

Su Xinyi:...

"Confess?"

The Queen nodded slightly, "Miss Pei couldn't say she didn't know about the Lantern Festival. When she was at home, she vaguely knew that the wife of Marquis Wu'an had contact with Ji Yun, but she didn't expect that they would plot against her."

Su Xinyi sorted out her thoughts and said, "That is to say, Miss Pei knew that her mother and Ji Yun had joined forces, but she didn't know what they wanted to do, so when something happened on the Lantern Festival, she thought that she was the one being plotted against."

The Queen nodded slightly, "I also interrogated the people involved at the time. Ji Yun spent 500 taels of silver to bribe a palace servant. It was this person who controlled the angle and strength of the palace lantern to hit Miss Pei, which could cause some injuries on her face but not too serious."

Su Xinyi knew that the palace servants who had stayed in the palace for a long time had some skills, but she didn't expect that there would be such skills.

"Miss Pei was wary at the time. She was afraid that her mother would do something rude at the banquet, but she was not on guard against it. However, thanks to this wariness, she reacted quickly at the first time, and the injury on her face was not very serious."

Su Xinyi was silent for a while, then looked at the Queen and said, "What does Miss Pei want?"

It seems that everything has been explained, but it is not clear. It is known that the wife of Marquis Wu'an and Ji Yun have joined forces, but it is unknown what they are planning. Even if the injury on her face is not serious, if the news spreads, people who have not seen it with their own eyes will not believe it too much, which will have a great impact on Miss Pei's marriage.

The Queen looked at Xinyi with appreciation and said meaningfully: "Miss Pei said that her injury was caused by Ji Yun, and it would be difficult for her to marry in the future, so she wanted to find a place to spend the rest of her life in peace. She hoped that I would let her enter the Wu Wang Mansion as a concubine."

Su Xinyi:...

Facing Xinyi's incredulous look, the Queen smiled and said: "You didn't expect it, did you? I didn't expect it either. Miss Pei is a very smart person. She knew that I would not let her enter the Rong Wang Mansion, so she took the opportunity to find another way out for herself."

"She is indeed a very smart person." Su Xinyi was convinced. If Pei Nianwei had been as decisive and smart as Pei Huiran, she might have entered the Eastern Palace before she married. "You agreed?"

The queen smiled gently, "Of course I agreed, but I didn't just go along with her wishes. I told her that she must take off the cicada skin in this matter."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Mother is right. The most unlucky one is the seventh brother's wife. She did nothing, but got into trouble. Now the evil will be punished by the evil. I think it is really the most appropriate thing to let Miss Pei go to the Wu Wang Mansion to be a concubine."

Knowing when to advance and retreat, and knowing when to stop, such a person, after entering the Wu Wang Mansion, Ji Yun has met her match.

No matter whether Pei Huiran is good or bad, she must not enter the Rong Wang Mansion. She is actually very clear about this in her heart. The family's plan is indeed good, but the Queen's means cannot be underestimated.

Her sister cannot enter the East Palace. Will the Queen let her enter the Rong Wang Mansion?

Under such circumstances, Pei Huiran made a decision immediately, and Su Xinyi really admired this.

If she didn't make this choice, the final result would still be the same. It would be better to go with the flow so that she could win the favor of the Queen. In the future, she might even have to rely on the Queen to support her.

The queen sighed softly after listening to Xin Yi's words, "It's just a helpless solution. Concubine Ruan Ming has come to apologize to me. She is also a poor person. I can't hold on and make Concubine Ruan Ming embarrassed. That's it. ”

Su Xinyi heard what the Empress meant. Originally, she wanted to punish these people, but once she actually took action, whether it was Ji Yun or Pei Huiran, it would be humiliating, and it would be Concubine Ruan Ming who would be embarrassed in the end.

It was really not easy for Concubine Ruan Ming. She had endured it all her life, but she thought she would relax after her son got married, but it turned out to be even more difficult than before.

"The Queen Mother's tolerance is also a blessing for Miss Pei. Concubine Ming will also be grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness." Su Xinyi said with a smile, the Queen in this life is much softer than the previous one.

The queen looked at Su Xinyi and said to her: "If your words get out, others will definitely not admit that this is what the sixth girl of the Su family would say."

When Su Xinyi heard this, she became happy and said: "I am what others want to say, and I will be nice to anyone who treats me well. My mother protects me and misses me, so I will naturally say whatever I want in front of my mother." , This is not flattery, it is all true."

The queen thought to herself, yes, she never dared to think that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could live together like this before. Now looking back at what Su Xinyi did when she first returned to Beijing, and looking at her now, it's hard to say the same thing.

However, she recalled Su Xinyi's previous incident because the prince dared to secretly go to the border, and he also knew that her softness had its limits, which made her anxious. The former Su Liu would immediately turn his back and jump out.

Thinking of this, the Queen was about to talk about the draft when she heard Su Xinyi say again: "Queen Mother, is this the case with Concubine Li?"

The Queen was stunned for a moment, then the smile on her face faded, and she sighed and said, "This is the only way we can do it now. Who made Grand Master Li sick at this time?"

Hearing the sarcasm in the Queen's words, Su Xinyi thought about it and said: "Master Li, a veteran of three dynasties, I heard His Highness say that he really did a lot when my father ascended the throne. My father is a person who misses old friendships, and my mother is relieved." ”

The queen sneered, "Just because Prince Xiang knelt outside the Zichen Palace to protect Fu Yun's life, as long as Fu Yun lives, you see, there is still a You Xiangzhi in Prince Xiang's palace, and it will definitely be very lively in the future. Besides, Prince Xiang's move Although she gained a reputation as a loving and kind person, in the final analysis, she still paid too much attention to women and failed to be fair and impartial in major political affairs. Naturally, the courtiers had their own ideas about this. Concubine Li Guifei became angry because of this new year. One game.”

"This is a good thing for us."

"That's true."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both laughed. If Prince Xiang wants a good reputation, this alone can hold him back. Maybe he was the reason why Taishi Li fell ill.

After the queen finished laughing, she remembered what happened before. She winked at Xin Yi and smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this draft. I heard that the prince begged your majesty and he should not be admitted."

Su Xinyi was stunned. His Highness mentioned this matter to His Majesty so quickly?

Looking at Xin Yi's expression, the queen didn't expect that she didn't know about this, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Everyone knew how dissatisfied the prince was with this marriage, but just now, the prince rejected even the newcomer because of her.

"The prince told your majesty that you are pregnant. If a newcomer enters the East Palace, he is afraid of bumping into you. Besides, King Yi has just been dealt with."

Su Xinyi was a little uncomfortable. She coughed lightly and said seriously to the prince, "Mother, the main reason is that I have a bad temper. You know that newcomers will inevitably have to compete for favors. If they meet someone with many thoughts, I will not be free. It’s a lot of work, and it really won’t look good if it breaks out.”

Su Xinyi's words were so straightforward that the queen was amused, "You are not allowed to say that outside. As the Crown Princess, your reputation is also very important. If anyone asks, just say that His Royal Highness is busy with court affairs and has no time to care about him. , remember?”

"Daughter-in-law, remember." Su Xinyi nodded immediately.

"You have been a Crown Princess for so long, you should know that your reputation is very important to you and cannot be tainted with jealousy."

"My mother's teachings, my daughter-in-law should remember them." Su Xinyi stood up and responded with gratitude on her face.

"I have nothing else to do here, so you should go back early." The queen looked at Xin Yi's belly and saw that the child would be born in a few months. This is really your majesty's first grandchild, baby. Still sitting.

Su Xinyi met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the evening and talked about today's events. Then she looked at him and asked, "Did you really tell your father? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yan Junchu raised his eyes and looked at Xin Yi, with a hint of joking on his handsome face, "I have to make my princess feel at ease."

Su Xinyi:......

Su Xinyi didn't even look at the prince's eyes, and immediately asked someone to pass the meal around. Yan Junchu looked at her back and smiled before getting up and following her.

The first month passed in the blink of an eye. After entering February, the influence of King Yi gradually disappeared. Now everyone in the capital is paying attention to the draft.

Pei Huiran's injury during the Lantern Festival was also deemed an accident. Su Xinyi knew that no bad rumors could spread in the harem. Pei Huiran would be designated by His Majesty as King Wu's concubine after the draft.

Although it was a bit cover-up, at least it was acceptable on the surface, but privately there were really rumors flying around about this matter.

Zhu Chanyi angrily said to Su Xinyi: "The people in Wu'anhou Mansion are really shameless. They insist on getting Pei Huiran involved with Prince Rong's Mansion. If my mother hadn't told me not to be impulsive, I would have really wanted to come and ask for details."

Su Xinyi naturally knew this kind of frustration. She looked at Zhu Chanyi and said, "This matter will soon be settled, but before that, we can't let the wife of Wu'an Hou talk nonsense everywhere."

"Yes, I think so too. But my mother doesn't allow me to show up, which really makes me anxious."

"It's right that you are not allowed to show up. If you show up, you will be seen as guilty."

"Then what should we do?"

"In this way, you go to find your sixth brother's wife. On that day, your sixth brother's wife stood up and saw the whole thing clearly. Now the talent show is in full swing, and there must be a lot of invitations sent to the door. , let her choose one or two families to sit down. "

"Is this okay? Sixth sister-in-law has never been nosy, I'm afraid of causing trouble for her."

"If she was afraid of trouble, she wouldn't have testified for you that day."

"That's right." Zhu Chanyi was happy, "What do you think this is? Sixth sister-in-law has always had a good reputation. As long as she is willing to say something, people outside will definitely believe her."

"So, you have to think twice before doing things in the future."

Su Xinyi knew the power of reputation. She suffered a lot in her previous life. Every step she took in this life was planned by herself, including her reputation.

It was just that she never expected that His Majesty would choose her as the Crown Princess, so after marrying into the East Palace, she had been slowly changing her image, but she didn't think about being a virtuous person like the Queen. She had her own way of doing things.

But Zhu Chanyi was different from her. How many people were eyeing the position of Duke Zheng, and Prince Rong himself was a troublemaker, so Princess Rong had to be calm.

The East Palace is different. His Highness is already very calm, and she, the Crown Princess, can be a little bit out of line.

"Hey, Xinyi, do you think that on the day of the selection, will the Queen Mother let us go over to see it?" Zhu Chanyi asked with a tangled face.

Although the Queen Mother said that this selection will not add people to Prince Rong, but the ceremony still needs to be performed. Isn't she afraid of accidents like the Lantern Festival?

"It should be." Su Xinyi said.

She is the Crown Princess, and this selection also means adding people to the various royal palaces in the East Palace, so this ceremony has to be performed.

However, how to perform it is up to her.
