Once the Crown Prince Joins In

Aunt Ren looked at the imperial concubine with something in her mind. She tried her best to look as normal as possible, but she really had no choice. If this continued, the imperial concubine and the prince might really be taken into custody by Yuan Hui Palace. New 69 Book Bar→69𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Your Majesty, I know I shouldn't say this, but as long as you and the prince are here, the Li family can always make a comeback. But if you and the prince lose the Sacred Heart, wouldn't Yuanhui Palace be proud of it? Your Majesty, You should think twice.

Concubine Li's mind was full of thoughts, and she couldn't catch them.

His son complained about him, and Grandma Ren said the same thing. Did she really do something wrong?

She has been in the palace for so many years, and it is her father and eldest brother who are able to stay in the palace as a noble concubine. How can she be ungrateful?

Concubine Li leaned dejectedly on the soft pillow, Mommy, go down and let me think about it.

Aunt Ren responded, looking at the look on the imperial concubine's face, she did not dare to say another word.

Standing under the eaves of the corridor, Nanny Ren looked in the direction of Yuanhui Palace. The news of Wang Rong's apology had been transmitted, but she did not dare to mention it to the empress now.

It was also the fault of the family. The affairs of Princess Guangping and Princess Runyi were comparable to those of Taishi Li and his son. But what did Prince Rong do?

Aunt Ren didn't know what else to do except sigh.

Obviously in the past, apart from the difference in status between the imperial concubine and the queen, your majesty treated the imperial concubine more favorably, so the imperial concubine was also very confident in front of the empress.

But, how did it get to this point step by step?

Since when? It seems that Mr. Li Ji was exiled, so the empress never forgot to let Mr. Li return to the capital.

Aunt Ren's heart was heavy. The Chinese New Year was obviously coming, and it should be a day of happiness and joy. How could she still be in the New Year's mood now?

Yuzhao Palace had no intention of celebrating the New Year, but Su Xinyi of the East Palace was in great spirits. After learning that the result of King Rong's apology was good, he put down another major event in his mind, and actually made preparations for the New Year.

Yan Junchu was also in a good mood. When he came back from outside, he saw Xin Yi preparing new year's goods. He sat down next to her and said with a smile, Shang Junyan and your elder brother may be back soon.

Really? Su Xinyi was pleasantly surprised, It's only been two days, where have you been?

When I wrote the letter, I was still a few hundred miles away from Lijing City. If I hurried on, I would be able to catch up with the New Year's Eve.

Su Xinyi ignored His Highness the Crown Prince, beckoned Forsythia in, and ordered: Go back to the Duke's mansion and whisper the news to your eldest aunt and sister-in-law. Don't spread it outside and let them make preparations on their own. That’s it.”

Forsythia was also happy and agreed with a smile on her face, then turned and left.

After Su Xinyi was happy, he raised his eyes and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness, if Shang Junyan and his eldest brother can come back, will all the evidence in the granary case be recovered? Can this matter really be finalized? But just in time On New Year’s Eve, I’m afraid we have to wait until after the New Year to talk about it.”

Yan Junchu nodded, Anyway, it's only a few days away.

What His Highness said is that King Yi is really caught in the fire now. Su Xinyi said with a smile, The news from the Weng family should come soon. If the Weng family can hand over the evidence, This is just adding insult to injury to King Yi.

Yan Junchu nodded, Your third uncle is keeping an eye on this matter, don't worry.

I feel relieved to have Third Uncle watching over me. Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. This year has been really breathless. Now I can't feel at ease after the New Year, but there is always more good news than bad news.

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. Early on this day, news came from Yuanhui Palace, telling Su Xinyi not to go there early, but to wait until the dinner was over for the banquet.

There was a palace banquet on New Year's Eve, but it was just a family banquet. His Majesty held a banquet with his sons in the Zichen Palace, and the queen, concubines and other princesses hosted a banquet in the harem.

The luncheon is relatively simple, and the highlight is the family reunion dinner in the evening.

There will also be Mrs. Gaoming and important ministers of the court coming to the palace to celebrate the New Year. The Queen has Su Xinyi in the East Palace for the luncheon, which is to sympathize with her and take care of her.

Su Xinyi was naturally grateful for the queen's kindness. The prince could not return to the East Palace for lunch, but used it in the Zichen Palace.

After the luncheon, the prince had time to go back to the East Palace, but he left quickly. Before leaving, he told Xin Yi, Don't worry about the dinner, there may be more people.

Su Xinyi raised her eyebrows, What do you mean by more?

Yan Junchu smiled and said, You'll find out when you go.

Su Xinyi didn't ask further questions, and actually had an idea in his mind.

The prince left in a hurry, and Su Xinyi started dressing up. Don't be sloppy at night. The princess's formal upper body was newly made by the Clothing Bureau based on Su Xinyi's current waist. Because Su Xinyi told her to loosen her waist, it was loose. Her pregnant belly was not visible under the skirt.

With a full set of crown uniforms on my body, my steps instantly felt a lot heavier.

Su Xinyi saw that the time was almost up, then he got up and went to Yuan Hui Palace.

The sky got dark early in winter, and when they were halfway there, palace people began to light lanterns one after another. Su Xinyi watched the palace lanterns spread all the way, breaking through the night and adding a bit of warmth.

Yuan Hui Palace was already bustling at this time. As soon as Su Xinyi arrived, as the palace people informed, even outside, you could hear a slight chatter and laughter inside.

Su Xinyi walked in. Su Xinyi walked in and saluted the queen first, My daughter-in-law pays homage to my mother, and I wish her a long life and good health in the new year.

Prince Princess, please get up quickly and sit down to talk. The queen was in great spirits today. Her face was covered with makeup, and she didn't look haggard at all.

Su Xinyi thanked the queen. Concubine Li Guifei and others had not arrived yet, but Zhu Chanyi winked at her. Before Su Xinyi could react, she saw Zhu Chanyi and Princess Jing greeting her, and then Princess Wu and Princess Xiang He also stood up.

Su Xinyi was a little surprised. Why did all the princesses come first today and did not come together with the empresses from each palace?

Su Xinyi suppressed the doubts in her heart, greeted them all, and then sat down.

Scanning his eyes across several people, Zhu Chanyi and Tu Jingjia were in the best condition, followed by You Xiangzhi, and Ji Yun was in the worst condition. On a good day like today, even if Ji Yun applied powder, he could still see the current situation. of cyan.

Moreover, Su Xinyi noticed that the way Ji Yun looked at her was really uncomfortable, but she didn't pay too much attention to her.

As soon as they sat down, Concubine Li and others arrived. Everyone saw the ceremony again, and before they could catch their breath, the ladies from each family also entered the palace one by one.

Su Xinyi relied on his good health and strong foundation, so he did not show fatigue easily, but with this little guy in his belly, it was indeed different from before. Even if he could bear it, he was still a little tired after a long time.

Aunt Zhao walked over quietly, bent down and said to Su Xinyi: Princess, the Queen said that if you are tired, go to the side hall to rest, and everything has been packed for you there.

Su Xinyi shook her head, Thank you for your kindness, mother, but I can still hold on. There are so many people today, and I can't hide away for leisure.

Su Xinyi had entered the harem in her previous life. Although she didn't come there many times, she had heard a lot about the harem.

On a big day like this, the busier and crowded there are, the easier it is for someone to target her, so she goes to rest alone, who knows what might happen to her, so she might as well feel comfortable in this palace.

If it was before, she would naturally not be afraid, but now it is different and she would naturally be cautious.

Zhu Chanyi came over there, sat next to Su Xinyi, and asked with concern: Xinyi, are you okay?

Su Xinyi smiled and said to her: It's okay, thank you for your concern.

Zhu Chanyi felt relieved after hearing this and said, If you are tired, just tell me.

Su Xinyi nodded. She didn't want to get into trouble, so she simply changed the subject and lowered her voice: Why do I look at Princess Wu looking so bad?

In front of everyone, Zhu Chanyi still had the decent and elegant smile that she had worked so hard to maintain, but her words were no longer so gentle, The maid Zhou that Concubine Ruan Ming gave to King Wu is here.

Su Xinyi suppressed the strange look on her face and asked softly: When did it happen?

As for what happened today, this Zhou family is also very powerful. I didn't even mention it until I saw Concubine Ruan Ming today. Zhu Chanyi was really impressed.

However, Su Xinyi felt that Zhou was afraid of speaking out in the palace, and Ji Yun's temper could not be tolerated. It would be bad if something happened.

However, he is not a simple person who can endure it till today.

How long have you been pregnant?

It is said that it has been two months.

Su Xinyi and Zhu Chanyi looked at each other, and Zhu Chanyi couldn't help but mutter, You said that Mrs. Zhou didn't tell anyone that she was pregnant, even Concubine Ruan Ming didn't tell anyone in advance. Is it because of Concubine Li's experience? Is she even on guard against Concubine Ruan Ming?

Su Xinyi couldn't decide what he said. He only said: No matter what, it is a life, and it is best to preserve it.

Regarding Ji Yun's temper, Su Xinyi felt that if she really knew about it, something would happen to the Zhou family and the unborn child.

From Zhou's standpoint, there was probably nothing he could do.

Of course Zhou had selfish motives when she said this on such a day, but being a mother makes you stronger, and she was right.

Concubine Ruan Ming sent her to serve King Wu. At that time, King Wu treated Ji Yun like a treasure, and I am afraid that the Zhou family also suffered a lot.

Every drink and every peck has a cause and effect.

Su Xinyi suddenly felt that someone was staring at her. She stopped talking to Zhu Chanyi and turned her head to look over, meeting Li Guifei's unabashed gaze.

Su Xinyi kept smiling without changing her expression, and then looked away as usual.

On the other side, Concubine Li also withdrew her gaze. She glanced at the Queen, and then slowly said: The Crown Princess looks good. It's worthy of the Queen to take care of her like this. She didn't even let the Crown Princess attend the luncheon. .”

Concubine Li's voice was not soft when she said this. As soon as she said it, everyone else fell silent.

This sounds normal, praising the Queen for taking care of the Crown Princess, but the tone is a bit strange.

Su Xinyi always felt that the current Concubine Li was different from the one who had always been calm and calm when dealing with the Queen in her previous life.

In her previous life, Concubine Li and the Queen had always been equals, so she would occasionally meet Concubine Li when she entered the palace. She looked radiant and powerful, but now Concubine Li looked a little haggard, and her eyebrows were a little less gentle. It's a bit more stern, not as comfortable as it was in my previous life.

She was about to open her mouth to defend the Queen, after all, she was using her to ridicule the Queen, but she didn't know that before she opened her mouth, the Queen spoke first.

I can agree with Concubine Li's words. Your Majesty is very concerned about the birth of the Crown Princess. Naturally, I have to take good care of her. Besides, the Crown Princess is very filial to me, so I must take good care of her. Speaking of which, Li The noble concubine should also be more open-minded. I see that Princess Xiang’s complexion is not very good. You should also persuade Prince Xiang to be more open. Since you are marrying someone into the house, you should be a married couple. A harmonious couple. That’s good.”

Su Xinyi said hello to the queen in her heart. After this incident, the queen's momentum was stronger than before.

Speaking of which, when the mother and daughter of the Princess of Guangping County caused such a thing, how many people wanted to see the Queen's joke. Naturally, the Queen had to be more stable at this time, and could not be seen as guilty and short of breath. In this way, the Queen would lose her Majesty, what kind of prestige will there be in the future?

At this time, Su Xinyi accepted the Queen's words naturally, and with an embarrassed look, she slowly said: It is the Queen Mother who has taken great care of the daughter-in-law, so that the daughter-in-law can raise the baby with peace of mind. Both His Royal Highness and I are very grateful to the Queen Mother.

The eldest lady and the fourth lady, who were sitting far away, both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The fourth lady said softly to the eldest lady, I'm afraid things are not going to be peaceful today.

The eldest lady nodded calmly and whispered, Fourth brother and sister, you must be careful in your words and deeds. No matter who says anything to you, you must stay calm.

Sister-in-law, Xin Yi's temperament is stable, don't worry. The fourth lady responded quickly.

The eldest lady looked the same on the face, but in her heart she was thinking that she had to warn her that her fourth sibling was a bit bloody when she was young.

The person sitting face to face with them was none other than Mrs. Ji. Although Mr. Ji is now under investigation, the Ji family has not yet been convicted. This year, the palace still issued a notice to the Ji family.

Mrs. Ji looked at the two ladies in the Duke of Qi's Mansion and their expressions were not very good. She had regretted it for a long time. When her daughter became Princess Wu, she should have persuaded her husband and daughter to stop. Now it is better because of the matter with the Zhao family. , but they themselves were harmed.

Thinking of this incident, it's strange that Mrs. Ji's face looks good.

Facing Mrs. Ji's unkind gaze, the eldest lady looked at her steadily without moving her eyes away. She did not withdraw her gaze until the other party could no longer stand it.

Hehe, with this little ability, you still dare to show your eyes, what a coward!

Mrs. Ji was so angry that she trembled with anger at the eldest lady's contemptuous eyes, but she did not dare to cause trouble in this situation, so she had to swallow it hard.

The Fourth Madam looked on, thinking that her sister-in-law's work now looked a bit like the Madam's youth.
