Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Su Xinyi returned to the courtyard and went to her mother's house to say hello. When the fourth lady saw her coming back, she smiled and asked, but she didn't ask much. After all, it concerned King Rong. New 69 Book Bar → 69𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒙.𝒄𝒐𝒎Google Search Reading

After Su Xinyi came back from her mother's place, she asked the girl to prepare water, took a bath, changed clothes, and came out. After a while, it got dark. After dinner, she didn't go to the study to study today, so she went into the tent early.

There were some things that she couldn't figure out, and the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt.

There were so many things that happened to Yan Qiongsi in her previous life. Basically, she had a smooth life and had everything she wanted. However, in this life, she had a bad fate, as if nothing went smoothly. This shouldn't be the case.

What's wrong?

She remembered that in her previous life, she only found out later that the Prince of Guangping County and the Prince of Pingjing County were getting married.

The ancestor of the prince of Guangping County was the seventh son of the great ancestor. They also had the opportunity to ascend the throne, but unfortunately they failed to win the throne. Fortunately, they were able to bend and stretch, and immediately switched camps and flags after failing to seize the throne, so their lineage survived.

However, the royal family was still a little wary of their clan. The number of princes in those days was slowly reduced to county princes, and their presence in the royal family became less and less. Until Shu became the successor, his sister was Betrothed to the Prince of Guangping County, their branch became more and more famous in the capital.

However, the prince of Guangping County did not want to repeat the same mistakes as his ancestors and had always been cautious. However, the princess of Guangping County felt that her sister was the queen, and she had King Rong, a son who was loved by the emperor, so she naturally had the courage to plan.

However, the Pingjing County Prince's Mansion is granted to people with foreign surnames. Only when ancestors have made great contributions to the court can they be granted the title of County Prince with a different surname. Being crowned a king with a different surname was valued by the court, but on the other hand, it was also guarded and feared by the court.

Yan Qiongsi likes Shang Junyan, and the Prince of Pingjing County supports Prince Rong. The two families are in the same camp. If they want to maintain absolutely consistent positions, marriage is the best choice.

But His Majesty was now suspicious, so naturally they did not dare to get married directly, so they thought of marrying Shang Junyan a daughter-in-law from a lower family to make a transition first, so that the Emperor's suspicion would dissipate.

Who would have thought that in the previous life, Su Xinyi fell into the water and Shang Junyan rescued her, disrupting all the arrangements.

Therefore, she entered the Pingjing County Prince's Mansion and faced difficulties at every turn. The Pingjing County Princess prevented her son from consummating their marriage with her. She only found out about all of this later.

The main purpose of the marriage between the two families was to support King Rong to ascend to the throne. It happened that Yan Qiongsi liked Shang Junyan, so it killed two birds with one stone.

But something seemed to be wrong now. Su Xinyi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up against the pillow.

Yan Qiongsi, who had everything going smoothly in his previous life, why does he always have problems in this life?

What went wrong?

Su Xinyi just wanted to figure out this problem, so she decided to take a trip today. Firstly, it was to see King Rong's face, and secondly, she wanted to see if there were any clues.

However, she saw today that Yan Qiongsi's madness was not an act, but really seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.

She was suspicious of Xu Yurong, but she had investigated what happened in Biyang Palace last time, and found no evidence that she was responsible. Instead, she waited for the farce that Shu Xuebo planned to marry her into the house.

The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, but now she couldn't figure out what was wrong, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Originally, Xu Yurong often stayed in the Anding Marquis Mansion and did not go out, so it was not easy to check her. Now that she was married to Shu Xuebo, she simply lived a life of never leaving the house, and it was even more difficult to check her.

But if we don't start with Xu Yurong, where should we start?

We can only check who Yan Qiongsi has been in contact with. At this point, she only has Zhanqiao as a person, and he is still a familiar face. If he goes out, he will be easily recognized, so he can only let Wang Rong check it.

But Rong Wang is very frivolous in his work, and he doesn't know whether he can do it well.

Su Xinyi didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up the next day, he was not in good spirits. He went to the martial arts field to practice with his brothers and then came back.

After coming back, she felt that she still couldn't rely on King Rong alone, so she put on men's clothes and quietly left the house.

When the fourth lady got the news, she just nodded to show that she understood and said nothing else.

My daughter changed into men's clothes and went out, she must have something serious to do.

The more Su Xinyi thought about it, the more she felt that she had to investigate Xu Yurong's side personally, because the Fuji case related to the Biyang Palace incident last time has not been closed yet. As a result, Princess Runyi went crazy and related to Biyang Palace. It's even harder to check.

Shu Xuebo's father was idle and received a salary but no real power, so the Shu family's house was a bit remote.

Su Xinyi went to the mule and horse shop to rent an ox cart and sat in it. It took half an hour to arrive at Chongxianfang. Chongxianfang was only two streets away from the West Market, so there were a lot of people coming and going here. She asked the oxcart to stop at the West Market, settled the copper coins for him, and sent the people away.

Su Xinyi took a look at the West Market. It was very lively, with a lot of people walking on the street. The shops on both sides of the road were very complete. From a distance, there were silk and silk shops, silk and satin shops, and rice and flour shops.

The capital city is divided into two cities, the east and west. There is a folk saying that the east city is expensive and the west city is rich. The capital is a huge city, and countless people hang out in the two cities every day.

Su Xinyi was not in a hurry to go to Chongxianfang, but first found a breakfast shop to have breakfast. The golden fried cakes just taken out of the frying pan gave off an alluring aroma. Thick rice porridge was boiling in the pot next to it, and hot water was boiling on the tea stove on the other side, with white smoke rising.

Su Xinyi ordered a fried cake and a bowl of porridge, and found a corner to sit down, eating slowly while listening to the chatter of other people who came to have breakfast.

Most of them were talking about the market conditions of the Western Market, which shop had new goods, which embroidery shop had new patterns, which tea house had new tea. She listened attentively.

Suddenly a question came to mind, why would the Shu family be willing to live in Xishi?

There are many merchants in the West Market, and Shu Xuebo is so obsessed with business that he has to head towards the Fang Market on the other side of the East Market.

Thinking about it this way, the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. The Shu family had a queen and a princess, so why would they settle down in the West Market? This was unreasonable.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Su Xinyi had never thought about this problem before.

Su Xinyi rolled his eyes and locked on an old man who was over fifty years old. He carried his bowl over and said hello with a smile, My father, can I ask you something?

The old man didn't even raise his head. He drank the porridge and spit out two words, No.

Su Xinyi stretched out his hand and took out a small ingot of silver from his sleeve, flashed it in front of his father's eyes, and then took it back.

The old man immediately raised his head and said, Hey, young master, please ask.

Husband, do you live near here?

That's not true. My son runs a shop here. Sometimes I go to the city and live with him for a while. He lives over there in Yankangfang.

Your son is very capable. It's a good idea to open a shop in the West Market. You can make money here.

It's okay to be so-so. It's not easy for a big family to support him.

It's not easy for any family. Isn't life like this these days? Our family is also a big family living together. Although there are many people, it is lively. Our ancestors said that when a family is prosperous, it is better to have more people.

That's right. The old man took a sip of the porridge, swallowed the last bite of the pancake, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Su Xinyi observed silently, and then continued: My father-in-law, you don't live here often, so I'm afraid you may not know what I'm asking about.

That depends on what you ask.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, I just want to find out about the family named Shu in Chongxianfang. Do you know?

Who in this area doesn't know about the Shu family. It's strange that an official in the family still lives in Xishi.

Su Xinyi didn't expect the father-in-law to say something like this, Hey, their family is famous.

The old man looked at the silver Su Xinyi held in his palm. Although his family was not poor, why not make some money if he could? This was silver, not copper coins.

Hey, young master, what exactly do you want to find out?

Let's talk somewhere else? There are so many people here talking so much that I can't understand.

You have so many things to do.

Su Xinyi smiled and walked out of the shop first, then found a quiet place on the corner of the street. The two of them stood in the shade of the wall and talked.

You can tell me this time, right? It's not easy to make some money from you. The old man said angrily.

Su Xinyi was happy and handed him the money first, You suffer, I am not trying to be pure.

When the money was obtained, the old man's unhappy face suddenly burst into laughter. He stretched out his hands, weighed it and put it into his arms with satisfaction, What on earth do you want to ask? I can tell you what I know, but I don't know if I don't know. You can't do this with this money. Take it back.”

Look what you said, it's yours. If you don't know, you can recommend someone to me later and I'll ask if it's possible.

That's okay. The old man nodded, feeling that this young master was quite reasonable. You ask what the Shu family does. That family's reputation in this area is not very good. Although I have only lived here for a short time, I have heard that their people do a lot of bullying.

It's true that the small temple is full of monsters and the shallow pond is full of bastards.

This Shu family lived in the East City and couldn't even rank as a tail. They came to the West City to pretend to be a big tail wolf.

Then you know about the Shu family marrying their daughter-in-law, right?

I know, when I married my daughter-in-law, it was very grand. Almost all the merchants in these streets went to give gifts. My son also went to a small shop and gave twenty taels of silver. I feel sorry for him. Ah, I didn’t sleep well all night. You said, our family has no contact with the Shu family, and we don’t see them taking care of our business in normal times, but at this time, they know how to make money, they are a bunch of black-hearted people.

Su Xinyi thought that this was an unexpected gain. A small shop would take twenty taels of silver as a gift, and the merchants in these streets would make a lot of money.

Are you telling the truth? Why would the Shu family accept your son's money? The master of the Shu family is just a sinecure, receiving a salary but no real power. Why are you honoring him? Isn't this thrown away in vain?

Oh, that's it. He can't help much, but if you can't control him, he can do harm. Isn't this business just for smooth and clean business? If the people don't fight with the officials, we can't fight, and we don't dare to fight.

Su Xinyi:......

It seems to make sense.

If you say that, you may have more money to spend in the future. When his daughter-in-law gives birth to a child, do you also have to pay a gift? This child has a lot to do, including the third bath, the full moon, the hundredth day, and the first birthday ...Oh, it would be terrible if their family could handle every incident.

The old man's face turned green when he heard this, and then he remembered something that made his face look better. It's hard to say. I heard that the son and daughter-in-law of that family are not getting along, and they are very noisy.

Oh, you are so powerful. Do you know everything in this high-walled compound?

How do I know? I heard this from my neighbors. I don't come here often. I only hear these gossips when I come here once in a while. But don't you know that? Some of the servants of the Shu family are not strict with their mouths. I heard that It’s Mrs. Shu who doesn’t like this daughter-in-law from a high family, and she even deliberately lets people around her speak ill of her daughter-in-law to gain her reputation. We don’t know if this is true or not, but I just listen to what others say. Young Master, this is a joke, but I dare not tell the truth.

What you said is just for fun. Su Xinyi really didn't know that Xu Yurong was really not having a good life. Knowing that she was not having a good life made her happy. You always said that the Shu family is strange. The official lives in the West City. I'm afraid there are usually no colleagues coming to visit us.

Usually not many people come, but it's not like no one comes. Twice I saw a carriage parked in front of their house. The carriage was quite grand. But this was last year, and I haven't seen it recently.

What kind of carriage? I'm quite curious.

Ouch, I can't remember clearly, it's been too long. The old man frowned, I can't remember much else. I just remember that the gold paint on the car looked rich, and it also had a particularly fragrant smell. The horses in the carriage look extraordinary and smooth.

Gold paint?

Su Xinyi frowned, then smiled casually and said, Are you mistaken? The gold-painted carriage is not something ordinary people can ride on. Don't fool me. What noble person can come to this place?

I'm not sure what the young master said. After all, the carriage usually appears after being painted black. Maybe I really saw it wrong. However, I think the horse is good and well-kept.

According to the law of this dynasty, merchants were not allowed to drive horses. Even officials in the dynasty had to obtain a certain level before they could use carriages. Ordinary merchants mostly used donkey carts instead. Oxen were not allowed to pull carts because more oxen were needed. Even beef was not allowed to be sold privately. The court was very strict.

When she was in the countryside, if a plowing cow died, she would have to report it to the government, and then someone from the government would take the cow away. Anyone who dared to slaughter a plowing cow in private would be breaking the law, and could be jailed in the least, or beheaded in the worst.

Then do you remember when the car usually comes?

I usually come to my son's house at the end of the month, stay for a few days and then leave at the beginning of the month. Anyway, it's just those few days.

At the end of the month and the beginning of the month, when the moon is waning, it is already dark and there is no moonlight at night, so it is really easy to hide your whereabouts.

Su Xinyi asked a few more questions about the Shu family before saying goodbye to her father-in-law.

She then visited several places and found different people to inquire about the Shu family. Two things overlapped, one was about Shu Xuebo getting married and receiving gifts from merchants, the other was about the carriage, and the other was I also saw it personally, but he was more specific. Once he saw a driver with a white face and no beard.

With a pale face and no beard, he is the inner prisoner of the palace.

Could it be someone sent by the Queen?

Su Xinyi couldn't figure it out, but this information was important.

In addition, Su Xinyi also got news that Xu Yurong, the daughter-in-law of the Shu family, would return to her parents' home one day every month.

This news is also unusual. For example, the second sister in their family may be from a good family and not far away from her, but she doesn't come home very often. Sometimes she doesn't come back even once for two or three months.

Whose daughter-in-law can return to her parents' home every month like Xu Yurong?

Earlier, Lao Zhang also said that he heard that Mrs. Shu always made things difficult for Xu Yurong. If she was making things difficult for her, why did he promise her to return to her parents' home every month?

The relationship between Xu Yurong and her natal family is not very good, and her temperament does not seem to be someone who cares about her natal family.

Su Xinyi inquired about the news and quietly walked around the street where Shu's family was. Everyone around Shu Xuebo and Xu Yurong knew her face. She didn't want to be discovered, so she just looked at it from a distance. He took a look and left.

After walking around in a big circle, it seemed that it was almost noon, so Su Xinyi walked back, planning to find a horse and carriage dealer to hire a car to go back. After walking half a street, he didn't see it, so he asked passers-by if they were there. As soon as I pointed the way, I realized that the carriages and horses were all on the street behind.

She walked back to the back street, and before she reached the end of the long alley, she saw someone squatting at the entrance of the alley. That figure looked familiar.

Master Yang?

As soon as Su Xinyi said these words, he saw the figure trembled and quickly stood up and turned around. It was really him.

Miss Sixth? Why are you here? Yang Jin was also shocked. This place in West Market is not Shangsanfang.

I'm here to inquire about something. Why is Mr. Yang here? Su Xinyi asked.

Yang Jin said: My subordinate is investigating a case and I am squatting here. Hey, Miss Six, His Highness is right across the street. I will lead you over. Your Highness will definitely be happy to see the girl.

Su Xinyi was just about to say no, when she saw Yang Jin shouting to the attendant beside him, Idiot, hurry up and report to His Highness.

The idiot got kicked and ran away like a rabbit.

Su Xinyi:......

Yang Jin spoke very attentively, Miss Six, please come this way.

Su Xinyi kept smiling, Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yang.

No hard work, no hard work, this is what subordinates should do. Yang Jin said with a smile, Sixth Miss came here to investigate something. I don't know if it is convenient to tell this subordinate. I have been squatting here for a long time. Oh my God, maybe I’ll know something.”

Su Xinyi said: I'm here to check the Shu family. What does Mr. Yang know?

Shu family? Yang Jin was stunned, Sixth girl is for the Daling Temple fuji case?

Su Xinyi shook his head, thought for a moment and nodded.

Yang Jin couldn't understand. Is this true or not?

Su Xinyi said: It has a bit to do with it, but it doesn't have much to do with it. Mr. Yang, have you heard about Princess Runyi going crazy?

Yang Jin was surprised and said in great surprise: Is there such a thing? My subordinates haven't heard of it. How could such a good person go crazy?

Su Xinyi said: Princess Runyi's family said she was hit by evil spirits and insisted on calling to see me, so His Highness Prince Rong invited me to visit her.

Yang Jin's face turned ugly and he immediately said, Miss Six, you are just soft-hearted and you shouldn't go.

Su Xinyi smiled and said, I shouldn't go, but I have something to check, so I have to go.

Yang Jin suddenly had an idea, Could it be that Miss Six is ​​here for the matter of going back to Biyang Palace?

Su Xinyi was happy, Can you guess this?

Yang Jin scratched his head, I'm just making a wild guess. Isn't this just what happened that time? I haven't found out yet. With the temperament of the sixth girl, she must still remember it. Hey, speaking of it, what happened that time is related to the eldest young lady of the Shu family. It’s a relationship, no wonder Miss Six is ​​here.”

While she was talking, Su Xinyi heard familiar footsteps. She raised her head and saw His Royal Highness, dressed in casual clothes, striding out from the teahouse opposite and walking towards her.

Yan Junchu walked through the crowd, with slender eyebrows and handsome eyes, and everyone around him seemed to be a foil.

Su Xinyi was a little nervous at this moment. She stood there and watched him walk in front of her. The hot sunlight fell on him, making his cold eyebrows warm up a little.

Ah Yuan.

Su Xinyi listened to him calling her by her nickname, and suddenly remembered that there was a time when he called her that. But at that time, they had something to do, and it was just to confuse people. After the matter was done, he never did it again. called myself.

Now that the two were engaged, he started calling her that again, and Su Xinyi's face suddenly turned red.

Yan Junchu chuckled, his eyebrows seemed to be raised, It's lunch time, let's join together?

Su Xinyi was a little conflicted. She was not afraid that the prince would be sad, but she felt embarrassed when she went there. With her identity changed, her free and easy temperament became a little awkward.

Yang Jin had already slipped away, and Su Xinyi couldn't find an excuse even if he wanted to. Just as he was hesitating, he heard His Highness the Crown Prince's somewhat disappointed voice, It's okay. If you're busy, we'll talk about it next time.

I'm fine. Su Xinyi's mouth moved faster than her brain, and her face turned redder after speaking. She coughed lightly, tried to stay calm, and said in a pretentious manner, Just in time, I have something to ask Your Highness.

How about you still call me by my name when you're out?

Su Xinyi:......

It felt like something was getting more and more wrong, and her heartbeat was so fast.

Yan Junchu stopped teasing her when he met her. It would be bad if she really annoyed her. He took Su Xinyi to the teahouse opposite. He booked a private room on the second floor, where he could clearly see the situation opposite from the window.

After the two of them sat down, the guard outside immediately asked the store owner to deliver the food, then closed the door and continued to guard outside.

Yan Junchu rarely looked at Su Xinyi's reserved look and said with a gentle expression, Ayuan, you said before that you wanted to ask me something. What was it?

When talking about business, Su Xinyi's expression immediately became much more normal. She looked at His Highness the Crown Prince and said, There is something very strange. Shu Xuebo received gifts from several merchants in the street when he got married. Does Your Highness know about this?

Yan Junchu raised his eyebrows slightly, Is there such a thing?

Su Xinyi gestured with her fingers, I've asked. Those who only have one shop at home are given twenty taels of silver. How much do you think those big merchants should give? There are quite a few merchants in these streets. Shu Xuebo is getting married. It was a windfall. I felt that something was wrong with this matter. Where did he get such courage? Even if the Queen was his aunt, he would not be able to make money like this.
