After the prince enters the play

Chapter 180 180: Is this something she can read?

Chapter 180 180: Is this something she can read?

The days of waiting for election in the palace were much easier than Su Xinyi had imagined. Ever since the female corpse appeared in Xiaoyu Qingchi, the queen hadn't shown her face in the Yangde Palace, but the daily test tasks did not stop.

Embroidery on the first day, calligraphy on the second day, painting on the third day, and let everyone in Yangde Palace play chess on the fourth day to decide the winner.

Su Xinyi is at the upper-middle level of playing chess, and she followed her family's instructions to keep a low profile, so she decisively lost to her when playing chess with Zhu Chanyi.

On the fifth day, it was time to play the piano. This time it was Concubine Li Gui who came to sit in the town. Su Xinyi always felt that the way Li Guifei looked at her was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. After thinking about it, she called her a countryman. The most common flute.

The cheerful and loud voice made everyone fall silent.

In just a few days, Su Xinyi's popularity in Yangde Palace became more and more popular. Even Xu Yuru didn't have to do anything to trouble her. Others got together and beat her back with one sentence. It is because she is psychologically strong and has strong combat effectiveness.

The only thing that makes Su Xinyi feel strange is Pei Nianwei. The happier she is in Yangde Palace, the more depressed Pei Nianwei will be. But she doesn't fit in with others and doesn't get close to anyone. She stays alone in the West Palace all day long. , just stay outside the hall.

Until one day, Su Xinyi accidentally discovered that the maid beside Pei Nianwei went to see Huang Zhuo secretly. She couldn't see clearly from a distance at that time, but Huang Zhuo stretched out his hand to pick up something, and ran away as soon as she put it in her arms. Yes, the direction to go back is Shaoyang Courtyard.

Su Xinyi knew that Huang Zhuo was someone the prince trusted because of her experience in her previous life, but if Pei Nianwei also knew it, it meant that the cousins ​​were not familiar with each other before, but not necessarily after.

She withdrew her gaze and walked back slowly. She took a few steps and looked back for some reason, but the place was empty.

Su Xinyi felt that she was in a strange mood now. Pei Nianwei and the crown prince were cousins, and the crown prince's mother was Pei Nianwei's aunt. Isn't it normal for them to get close?

She took a deep breath, decided to let herself forget what she had just seen, and strode back to Yangde Palace.

At this time, Huang Zhuo returned to Shaoyang Courtyard, and ran into Yang Jin head-on, he stopped to say hello, "Master Yang, are you going out of the palace?"

Yang Jin is running around for the business of the caravan, and now the sixth girl is in Yangde Palace, she can't take care of the outside affairs, His Highness is full of little girls, and he specially asked Huang Zhuo to send a message secretly, tsk, can he help you without worrying about it? ?

Yang Jin looked at Huang Zhuo and nodded, "What are you doing, you look like a thief, don't you do something bad?"

"Oh, Mr. Yang, you can't talk nonsense, it will kill you, please forgive me." Huang Zhuo said quickly, "What can I do, but Miss Pei insists on letting me give it to you." Your Highness sent a letter, I have made several excuses, but this time I really can't push it, can I?"

Yang Jin's complexion sank slightly when he heard this, he sneered, stretched out his leg and kicked Huang Zhuo.

Huang Zhuo hurriedly dodged and clasped his fists together to beg for mercy, "Master Yang, please speak up if you have something to say, my bones are not worth your fist, please forgive me."

Yang Jin withdrew his leg, thought for a while and asked, "Where's the letter?"

Knowing that Yang Jin is one of His Highness's most trusted people, Huang Zhuo quickly took out the letter, "Here."

Yang Jin stretched out his hand to take it, looked at Huang Zhuo and said, "Remember, from now on, no matter what men and women ask you to hand over to the Pei family, they are not allowed to take it. Forgive you this time, or you won't be able to run away in front of His Highness." .”

Huang Zhuo didn't expect the matter to be so serious. He knew that His Royal Highness had very little contact with the Pei family, but the cousin lady was gentle and polite, so he just couldn't bear to help, but hearing what Master Yang said, he was so frightened. Rin immediately said: "Thank you sir for saving my life, I will remember it, there will never be a next time."

Yang Jin waved his hand, "Go and do your work. Hey, yes, you can serve snacks at Yangde Palace. If there is any news about the Lord Yong'an County, good or bad, please come back to me."

Huang Zhuo hurriedly nodded in response, remembering County Lord Yong'an in his heart, His Highness asked him to deliver a letter to him last time, Lord Yang also looked so cautious, could it be that County Lord Yong'an is more important in front of His Highness than Miss Pei's cousin?
Huang Zhuo didn't dare to ask any more questions. He watched Master Yang turn around and turn back, leaning against the door frame with his soles a little weak.

The Pei family is really harmful!

Yang Jin took the letter and entered the door, watching His Highness reviewing the file, drawing a stroke from time to time with the pen in his hand, he waited for His Highness to read a paragraph before speaking, "Your Highness, Miss Pei asked Huang Zhuo to send you a letter."

Yan Jun didn't raise his head at the beginning, "Burn it."

Yang Jin knew this would happen, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Miss Pei has delivered letters here several times, and it seems that she must see you, Your Highness..."

"Yang Jin, when did you talk so much?" Yan Junchu frowned slightly, "Have you finished your errands?"

Yang Jin immediately said: "This subordinate will do it now."

Yang Jin went out to find a quiet place to burn the letter, looked at the pile of ashes and said, "Why bother."

Yang Jin crushed the paper ashes with the soles of his feet before striding away.

Pei Nianwei had been waiting for news in Yangde Palace, but until it was dark, there was no movement from Shaoyang Courtyard, her heart sank completely this time.

Throughout the night, Su Xinyi could hear Pei Nianwei tossing and turning. She was so upset that she couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up and meditated for luck.

But Wang Yingyao in the middle had nothing to worry about and slept soundly, Su Xinyi was really envious at this moment.

She didn't sleep well at night, and she didn't feel refreshed when she woke up in the morning. She got up a little late, and when she got up, she saw Wang Yingyao coming back from the outside. As soon as she saw her, she hurried over and whispered: "Xin Yi, Xiaoyu Qingchi It's come to a conclusion."

Su Xinyi regained consciousness immediately, and asked, "How did you say it?"

"It is said that the female corpse was investigated by the Yangde Palace and thought that the female envoy, for some reason, went the wrong way at night, and accidentally fell into the pond and lost her life."

Su Xinyi: ...

Seeing Su Xinyi's expression, Wang Yingyao said softly: "Who do you think is the envoy of Yangde Palace who can abduct there at night? Now everyone is talking about it, and I haven't found out which one is missing."

However, Su Xinyi could understand that it was related to the fact that King Rong must not reveal who it was, but she didn't expect that after the prince investigated, he would actually make the queen's face full. She didn't know what happened, but she did. The prince and the queen have always been at odds, so there must be some reason for this.

It's just that no matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with her, and she can't go beyond the rules to investigate. Since he said so to the outside world, His Majesty must have nodded, which is tantamount to a final conclusion.

After the matter of Xiaoyu Qingchi came to an end, the queen appeared in the Yangde Palace again, but this time it was not to test everyone, but to post all the content of the test for everyone during these days, and to support the Degong Palace. Ladies and gentlemen up and down watch.

There is no ranking, but everyone is an insider, so there is no doubt about which one is good or bad.

That is, today, the empress hosted a banquet, and Concubine Li Gui, Concubine Qi Xian, and Concubine Ruan Ming all appeared again to see everyone off.

Everyone froze for a moment, are you going to leave the palace now?

Without prioritizing, they thought there would be a follow-up, so it was over?

Su Xinyi was also surprised, but it was a good thing to think about it. She was focused on participating in the first place, and it would be great if she could get out of the palace quickly, but she was really aggrieved to death in the palace.

Moreover, she is in a hurry about the caravan, she can only ask about it after leaving the palace.

The luncheon was exquisitely arranged, and the singing and dancing were particularly exciting, especially the dancer's Hu Xuanwu, which was praised by everyone. When the slender waist kept spinning, the fine beads also whirled...

After the banquet, the empress said a scene, nothing more than that everyone's performance was recorded in the book, and the candidate for the crown princess went back and waited for the notification.

Su Xinyi packed her things and went out of the palace. Wang Yingyao couldn't laugh or cry as she walked happily, but she herself was also like this. She was very tiring all the time in the palace.

Finally got a good night's sleep when I got home.

Zhu Chanyi and others came and went out with Su Xinyi. The better they had time to play polo on the way out of the palace, Zhu Chanyi was quite reluctant, mainly because their generals’ families had close contacts with these civil servants and noble families. So much, so even if she knew the name of Yong'an county magistrate before, she didn't expect that he was not only well-deserved but also so interesting, which really made her feel sad.

After leaving the palace, there will be a carriage in the palace to send everyone back, especially Su Xinyi, who came to say goodbye to a group of people, so that Shu Siyang and others' faces turned dark.

Li Qingyi also came over to say goodbye to Su Xinyi. She said with a smile: "It's really interesting to meet the county magistrate when I enter the palace this time. I will invite the county magistrate to go out for fun in a few days. It will be spring in a few days. We might meet again."

Su Xinyi's feelings towards Li Qingyi were neither good nor bad. She used to think that she might have other schemes to show her friendship with Concubine Li Gui, but she didn't have any intentions against her when she was in Yangde Palace, which made her feel very strange, and she didn't relax her vigilance, but also He didn't turn a blind eye to Li Qingyi's overtures.

"Okay, if the time is right for us, let's take a spring trip together and learn from literati and scholars. You will write poems and I will add wine."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and after laughing for a while, they each got into the carriage and went home.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief after getting into the carriage. It was Ran Su who took her home in the carriage, which made her tense nerves relax a lot. When she got off the carriage, Su Xinyi stuffed her with a big purse, "This paragraph I will take care of you in Yangde Palace, thank you."

Ran Su had already received a purse before, but she didn't expect to get another one now, so she hurriedly extended her hand to decline.

Su Xinyi jumped out of the car, waved at her, then turned and entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Ran Su had no choice but to accept the purse, thinking in her heart that it is no wonder that the county lord of Yong'an can be liked by so many ladies, even a female envoy likes her very much.

The people in Duke Qi's mansion got the news from the palace, until today when Su Xinyi returned to the mansion, everyone was waiting at Mrs. Tai's place, even the married Su Chaoyan came back.

Su Xinyi was moved by this, and saw the third brother-in-law who met for the first time next to her. Although he was indeed a bit dark, he was very strong and tall, and he smiled with a simple and honest look. A meeting ceremony!
Su Xinyi blushed, she was so old, how would she accept this meeting gift, and she was not a child.

Everyone had long been used to Su Xinyi's thick skin, and they didn't expect to see her blushing, and Madam Tai laughed.

The second wife was really satisfied with what her son-in-law saw, so she looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Xin Yi, you can keep what your brother-in-law made up for you, you deserve it."

Only then did Su Xinyi accept it, looked at Tu Sijing and said, "Thank you, third brother-in-law."

The second lady looked at Xin Yi with a smile and said, "Your second sister was going to come back, but brother Shu didn't know if she ate something wrong and felt sick to her stomach this morning. She said that she would come to see you after the day."

The second wife said Brother Shu was Li Zhongshu, the eldest son of Su Lanqian and Li Sui. Su Xinyi hurriedly asked, "Is Brother Shu okay? Second sister doesn't need to come here on purpose, just wait until I have time to go and see second sister."

The second lady smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, but you can't do without people. Your second sister has always wanted to come back and take a look, and you just take this opportunity, you can't stop her."

Su Xinyi smiled cheerfully, and hurriedly said, "That's fine, then I'll wait for the second sister to come back."

Mrs. Tai looked at Su Xinyi carefully, "Xiao Liu, why am I looking at you and still getting fat?"

When Mrs. Tai said this, everyone took a closer look and it was true.

Su Xinyi: ...

Everyone chattered and asked, Zeng's fetal appearance was already very stable, and he ordered the girl and woman to serve tea, and they also took an extra look at Sixth Sister, her face was a little round.

When all the men in the family came home at noon, it became even more lively, and the old man was also invited by the old man with his hands behind his back.

Because of the new son-in-law Tu Sijing, we divided tables between men and women, and the whole family was not separated by a screen, talking and laughing while listening to Su Xinyi talking about the affairs in the palace, which was quite lively.

Everyone was shocked when they heard about the case of the female corpse in Xiaoyu Qingchi. They didn't expect such a thing to happen in the palace in just a few days. Su Xinyi didn't mention King Rong's side when he said it. After all, he didn't mention it when he announced it to the public. King Rong, there are some things that she can't say for sure.

And there is also the newly released third brother-in-law, so there are some things that cannot be said.

It's not that Su Xinyi doesn't trust Tu Sijing, but if Tu Sijing tells the story to the Tu family after returning home, it will be a disaster if the news of so many people in the Tu family gets out.

In order to avoid trouble, Su Xinyi naturally didn't mention it, and if she slipped up here, the queen would not stop.

After the welcome feast, the old man called Su Xinyi away.

Su Xinyi helped his grandfather back to the yard. The old man asked Su Xinyi to sit down, looked at her and said, "What's the secret behind the female corpse case?"

Su Xinyi: ...

Others can hide it, but grandfather can't.

Su Xinyi explained the matter carefully, and finally said: "The granddaughter also doesn't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince decided the case with such a result."

The old man looked at his granddaughter with cloudy eyes, and nodded secretly in his heart. He had left room for his words at the table just now, and he understood clearly.

"It's just a female envoy, it doesn't matter. His Majesty Wang Rong is His Majesty's favorite son. The fact that His Majesty and the Crown Prince can settle this matter can only show that Rong Wang is not the murderer. I'm afraid there is something else hidden."

"The granddaughter also believes that His Royal Highness Rong will not kill people. She just heard that the empress covets the position of the prince and encourages Rong Wang to fight against the prince. The queen always secretly targets the prince. With such a good opportunity, the granddaughter does not understand why the prince treats the queen's subordinates." Show mercy." Su Xinyi really couldn't understand this point, if it were her, such an opportunity would definitely trip the queen.

Hearing this, the old man knew that Xin Yi had seriously thought about this question. He looked at her seriously and seriously, "Have you ever thought about what His Majesty would think and do?"

Su Xinyi was taken aback for a moment, she thought about how the queen would react, how the prince would react, and how the prince would react, but she hadn't thought about your majesty!

The old man taught in a slow voice, "Xin Yi, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, or your majesty's sons, whether it is the prince or the princes, the final judge of all things is your majesty, what do others think? , It doesn't matter how you do it, the key is what your majesty thinks, what result you want, right or wrong is not important."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Grandfather, what do you mean?"

The old man waved his hand, "Xin Yi, you are a smart boy, you just need to understand some things in your heart. There are three classes of people in this world, the first class can read it, the second class can teach it, and the third class can't beat and scold." Yes. You, like your father, can see it, but as a girl, it’s not a good thing to show your sharpness. You have to learn to hide your sharpness. Don’t be too rigid and easy to break like your father. Sometimes being too smart may not be a good thing. You have to remember."

Su Xinyi hurriedly stood up, "Yes, my granddaughter remembered."

"Go ahead, don't think about the matter of Xiaoyu Qingchi once it's out of this door. If someone asks you in the future, how will you answer the conclusion of how the palace will handle this matter."

"Yes."

Su Xinyi came out of her grandfather's yard. The sun was shining brightly, but her hands and feet were cold.

In her previous life, she had learned how to survive in the inner chamber, learned a lot of tricks between women, and could understand the secretive words of those ladies and girls, but no one taught him about the important affairs of the government and the heart of the emperor.

The art of the emperor and the struggle for imperial power are unfamiliar fields to her.

What her grandfather said opened a new door for her.

Early the next morning, Su Xinyi received a box full of books sent to her by her grandfather. When she opened it, she saw that they were all historical records and theories written by famous scholars in the past dynasties.

she:……

She didn't take the No. [-] Scholar exam, isn't her grandfather's expectation of her a bit too heavy?

Is this something she can read?
However, Su Xinyi felt itchy when she saw these books, and a voice in her heart told her, you want to read, this is something you rarely read before, and you will like it.

Su Xinyi picked up a book and read it slowly. Some words were difficult to understand, so she had to write them down and go back to ask her second brother, a scholar.

"little six!"

Su Xinyi was having a headache when she was reading, when she heard Su Jingmo's voice coming in through the window, she put the book away, got up and went out, Su Jingmo also walked to the eaves, saw her grabbing her Run, "Let's go, Su Xixian made a pout again."

Su Xinyi: ...

"Fourth sister, you should explain clearly, what's the matter? Didn't you still be fine yesterday?" Su Xinyi was dragged away by Su Jingmo, she asked hurriedly.

"My mother showed her the marriage, but she didn't go to see, do you think there is something wrong?" Su Jingmo became more and more angry, "I must not know what Aunt Weng said again, I heard that they were arguing again If you had a fight, it must have something to do with this marriage, you persuade her, Aunt Weng is not a good person, don't delay your future because of her."

Su Xinyi was confused, why did she get involved with Aunt Weng again?

When it was time to speak, Su Jingmo grabbed Su Xinyi and went straight into the main room. A group of girls didn't dare to stop them, so they could only let them break in.

"Su Xixian, come out!"

Su Xinyi got a headache from Su Jingmo's voice, and hurriedly said: "Fourth sister, don't be angry, and speak slowly if you have something to say."

"Why am I not angry? My mother is not in good health, and she has put so much effort into her marriage. Do you think she is worthy of my mother?" Su Jingmo said, seeing Su Xixian come out, looking at her eyes She turned red, and swallowed the second half of the swearing words abruptly, making her blush, "Who are you showing this look to? Let Sixth Sister see me and think I'm bullying you again, right?"

"I didn't mean that." Su Xixian didn't want to quarrel, and looked at the two listlessly, "Sit down and scold me, don't stand up, you're so tired."

Su Jingmo's hand trembling while pointing at Su Xixian, turned to look at Su Xinyi, "Xiao Liu, did you see that? What does it mean that mud doesn't stick to the wall? That's it!"

Su Xinyi: ...

"Fourth sister, please sit down for a while, and I will ask fifth sister what's going on." Su Xinyi pressed Su Jingmo down first, then looked at Su Xixian and asked, "Fifth sister, fourth sister said that third aunt gave me something to do." You watched the marriage, why didn't you watch it?"

Su Xixian was silent when she heard the words, and it took a long time before she said: "If I go to see it, my aunt will definitely quarrel with my mother. I don't want to cause trouble for my mother."

Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian, "Did Aunt Weng tell you that if you go to see her, she will make trouble?"

Su Xixian was silent.

Because of what happened when she was sent to Zhuangzi last time, my aunt always felt that she had lost to his wife, and resented that she had let her lose face. Since she came back from Zhuangzi, her temper has become more and more sharp.

She also felt a little wronged by her aunt about what happened last time, so she endured it all the time.

She didn't want to cause trouble for her aunt, and she didn't want to give her aunt a chance to make use of it.

"No." Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian and said with a smile, "Fifth Sister, you have always been smart, why can't you see through this time? Aunt Weng dared to threaten you like this because she knew that in your heart, she was the one who made her a fool." My aunt takes it very seriously and cares about her thoughts and feelings, so she has nothing to fear."

Su Xixian opened her mouth to say something to refute, but she didn't know how to explain it correctly.

Su Jingmo laughed angrily, looked at Su Xixian and said mockingly: "Su Xixian, you are so amazing, I always thought you were so smart, and you have been fake smart for so many years of relationship. Don't think about it, last time because of your marriage, Aunt Weng If she can be sent to Zhuangzi, if she makes trouble again this time, it will not be as simple as sending her to Zhuangzi, she dare not!"

Su Xinyi looked at Su Xixian's expression thoughtfully, and suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.

 Today's [-]-word update is here, my little cuties, thank you for your support, please dig a monthly ticket, hug.
