After the prince enters the play

Chapter 187 Chapter 187: The Imperial Decree Arrives
Yan Junchu said: "Father, the caravan was formed in a hurry and many things were not properly arranged. After the caravan came back from outside the Great Wall, they had to go south to sell goods without hesitation. The team members can't take a good rest, and it's not a good thing in the long run."

The emperor thought about it carefully, and nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense, it seems that you have an idea? Tell me and listen."

"My son thinks that since the caravan has achieved good results this time, it seems that this method will work. If this is the case, we should do things carefully." Yan Junchu said slowly, and will be with Su Xinyi. The discussed matter is explained from another angle.

The emperor fell into silence when he heard the words, raised his head to look at the prince's expression, and said after a while, "You have to know, this is not a trivial matter, what if the Tatar spies are alarmed? If the news leaks, it will not be a good thing for the caravan. "

"What the father said is true, that's why I thought that the border cross market cannot be opened, but the inner market can be opened. As long as the tax for merchants to go to the frontier to sell goods is reduced, there will be merchants who are willing to go. In this way, our imperial court's caravan It will be inconspicuous when mixed in."

"The news of the caravan has been sent back for a long time, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

When Yan Junchu heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately said: "I have always had this idea, but I was not sure if it could be done. I didn't think it might be feasible until after the map was revised. It's just that I have little knowledge, so I came here. Please teach your father."

Standing in the hall, Yan Junchu couldn't see any abnormality in his father's expression. His eyes were still fixed on the map. He knew that his father had always wanted to get rid of the serious trouble of Tatar.

He can only gamble.

First send the caravan to the outside of the Great Wall, and then form a caravan in the inner city. The escort caravan must have a guard, and someone must be in charge of opening the inner city. One step at a time, the power in his hands will become bigger and bigger.

He can't be impatient, with the empress staring at him covetously, and his father's unpredictable thoughts, he can only take one step at a time.

"We'll discuss this matter later. You really don't have someone in your favor for the crown princess?"

When Yan Junchu heard his father suddenly change the subject, his face showed a little bit of surprise, and he said, "sons listen to father."

The emperor rolled up the map on the table and put it in the corner of the case. After sitting down, he looked up at the prince, his usually serious face softened slightly at this moment, "After all, this is your lifelong event. I want to hear your thoughts. The empress recommended Jiang Shangshu's daughter, but Concubine Li is optimistic about Xu Yanshou's daughter. Moreover, King Xiang is not too young. This time, Concubine Li also wants me to point out a marriage to King Xiang. "

Yan Junchu suddenly had a bad premonition, so he heard his father say briskly, "Do you know who Concubine Li has fallen in love with?"

Yan Junchu tried his best to look a little curious, and said with a smile: "How could my son guess it, and the ninth brother and sixth brother are still on business in other places, so I don't even have a chance to ask."

The emperor chuckled, "You must not have guessed it. You despise the magistrate of Yong'an County for his tough temper. His kung fu is too good. Concubine Li Gui likes it very much. She always thinks that King Xiang is too gentle. If you marry a tough woman It complements each other."

The prince's breathing was slightly stagnant, and his hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched, but he said with a bit of surprise on his face: "I really didn't expect it, I was really surprised."

The emperor sat there calmly, seeing that the surprise on the prince's face did not seem to be fake, and said: "The candidate for the crown prince can't be delayed any longer. Since you don't have someone you like, I will issue an order tomorrow, go back."

Yan Junchu resisted the impulse in his heart, bent down and saluted, "My son's marriage has made my father worry and busy, I really feel guilty."

The emperor waved his hand, "Go, you are my son, and your mother left early, so I will naturally worry about you."

"Thank you, my lord." The crown prince bowed solemnly before leaving.

As soon as the prince left, the emperor took the roster on the other side. The emperor had read this roster several times in the past few days. At this moment, he flipped through it casually, but he didn't expect to find the page with Su Xinyi's name on it.

"Hu Siyi, do you think Concubine Li Gui has really taken a fancy to the County Lord Yong'an?"

Hu Siyi suddenly heard His Majesty's voice, and immediately stepped forward, hesitated, and then said: "Your Majesty, where is the servant guessing. However, even though the outsiders did not know about Li Ji's case, Here is the handwriting of County Master Yong'an, but the imperial concubine knows it, this... this servant can't guess what the imperial concubine is thinking."

The emperor gently closed the booklet, his expression fluctuated and he couldn't tell clearly,
Hu Siyi bent over, his mouth didn't dare to get involved in the affairs of the harem, naturally no master could be offended.

It's just that he didn't expect His Majesty to ask him what he thought.

Of course he didn't believe that Concubine Li Gui didn't hate the County Lord Yong'an. When Li Ji fell down, Concubine Li Guifei fainted when she got the news in the palace. In the Li family, Concubine Li Gui had the best relationship with this elder brother.

Now that Concubine Li Gui wanted to marry the Lord Yongan for King Xiang, Hu Siyi felt that the matter was not so simple, he was so suspicious, could it be that His Majesty would not have thought of it?

Hu Siyi thought that His Majesty must have thought of it, but His Majesty asked him to say it, and he didn't dare to think deeply, so he could only say what should be said and not say a word that should not be said.

For example, it is a major court event for His Royal Highness to marry a Crown Princess, and the remaining princes are younger than His Royal Highness, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Before the Queen even mentioned the marriage of King Rong, Concubine Li Gui proposed marriage for King Xiang, no matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong.

But can he say it?

Of course Hu Siyi couldn't say.

Hu Siyi was thinking wildly, when he heard His Majesty laugh suddenly, his scalp became tense, and he did not dare to lift his head down.

"Hu Siyi, what do you think of County Lord Yong'an?"

Hu Siyi's claws are numb, how can I answer this?

"Returning to Your Majesty, the slave is not familiar with the County Lord Yong'an, so I really don't know how to comment."

"Just say you know."

Hu Siyi burst into tears, but he still couldn't escape, he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this servant only knows that the Yong'an County Lord is skilled and courageous, but I don't know much about the rest."

"Skillful and courageous..." the emperor chuckled, "Indeed, she is not so courageous. Back then, King Rong suffered a disadvantage and was beaten by her, and the queen even came to me crying."

Hu Siyi didn't dare to say anything, and listened quietly with his head down.

"The prince is good at everything, but this temper is too soft..."

"As an elder brother, loving siblings is naturally an advantage, but as a prince..."

Hu Siyi broke out in a cold sweat, could he hear this?
The emperor didn't say any more, and turned his head to look out the window.

A little lamb, how can he keep his own things...

If you want to turn a sheep into a wolf, maybe it's a good idea to keep him company with wolves.

Thinking of Su Xinyi, the emperor couldn't help thinking of Su Chun.

When I think of Su Chun, I think of the year when Su Chun was ordered to lead the army to go out when he was in danger. He personally prayed to heaven and earth to see off the army.

Su Chun said: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to worry about in this expedition, only my elderly parents and my young wife. If I die in battle, I have the cheek to ask Your Majesty to take care of my parents. If your wife wants to remarry, if anyone in the family obstructs her, please His Majesty make the decision for her. Other than that, I have nothing to let go of."

Su Chun didn't know that he still had a flesh and blood until his death. If he knew, he would like it very much.

That kid was so like him.

The sky outside slowly sank, as if he was immersed in the thoughts of the past...

At this time, in Yuanhui Palace, the queen was scolding King Rong, "What do you say you are doing behind the prince all day? You can't do something serious by yourself, so that your father can see it."

King Rong would have listened to what his mother said before, but now he felt a little uncomfortable, "Mother, you just take care of the harem. I have my own ideas about what I want to do, so don't worry about it."

The queen was even more angry when she heard the words, "It's a bunch of nonsense! You are the son of your father, a majestic prince, how can you mess around all day without doing business, and how can the courtiers look at you when they see it?"

King Rong said impatiently: "I don't care what the courtiers think and do? Queen Mother, my son came to the palace to visit you, not to listen to you scolding me. Besides, you haven't explained to me about the envoy Zhang last time." Well. Tell me, what are you doing against Su Xinyi? How did she offend you?"

Hearing her son mention Su Xinyi in a protective tone, she was so angry that her face turned black, and she hated her very much just because of this!
However, the queen knew her son's temperament, if she said that, she might make Yuanhui Palace into a mess.Taking a breath, the queen suppressed her anger and said, "Why don't I like her? Look at what she did, what kind of troubles she made in Jones's marriage. That is to say, people from the countryside don't know etiquette and shame. Girl, who would do such a thing?"

King Rong didn't expect his mother to say such a thing, so he was stupefied for a moment, and he couldn't choose what to say, "If you want to say that, when Su Xinyi was full in Biyang Palace, she saved someone. Lovers have done good deeds, but in your eyes it is still heinous, it is simply unreasonable!"

Hearing what her son said, the queen slammed the table, "What did you say? If she hadn't hooked Shang Junyan, Jones would be so sad that he wanted to jump off the building?"

"You heard what your aunt said to your cousin, right? Let me tell you, I just met Shang Junyan today. Shang Junyan said that he just doesn't like his cousin, and he has no idea about Su Xinyi. It's my cousin who wronged others by her own wild thinking. Is Su Xinyi wronged? Isn't Shang Junyan unlucky? If it were me, there would be a woman who would cry and shout that she would marry me alive. If I didn't marry her , isn’t it also heinous?”

"You're such a mess!"

"I think you guys are just being unreasonable!"

King Rong stood up, "I can't explain it to you. In short, I have promised Shang Junyan to tell my aunt that she has no idea about the truth of this marriage. If you rely on your status as a queen to force her to marry a wife , if my cousin has a bad life after getting married, will you still blame Shang Junyan for being ungrateful? Anyway, I have brought it to you. Since I promised Shang Junyan, I will not fool him. If you really If you want to force a marriage, I will tell my father!"

"You..." The queen was so angry that she almost fainted, "Shut up!"

Rong Wang was also upset, it was obviously a very simple matter, but he didn't understand why it had to be so complicated.

No wonder Su Xinyi always loves to move his fists, he finally understands now.

"Why do you say you are doing this?" Rong Wang didn't want to really make his queen mother angry, so he slowed down his voice to persuade. "The cousin's marriage is decided by my aunt and uncle. I can tell you that the emperor's temper has not been very good recently. If he knows that you are helping the Yan family to force the marriage, the emperor will blame you when the time comes, let alone the son did not remind you."

The queen glared at her son angrily, "Listen to what you said, that's your aunt, mother and cousin, how can you just ignore it?"

"I reminded you because I was afraid that my cousin would marry someone who was wrong. This marriage is clearly a resentful couple. If you insist on saying that it is a match made in heaven, you are not deceiving yourself. You will regret it later when your cousin is not doing well, and then go to clean up her family." Shang Junyan, is that appropriate?"

"What do you know? Marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker." The queen said angrily.

"That's right, if men in this world always love to take concubines, the emperor will always choose concubines."

The queen was so angry that she grabbed the teacup beside her and threw it at her. Is this a human word?

King Rong dodged it nimbly, and said while running out: "Anyway, I have brought the words, if you don't listen to it and insist on doing it yourself, you will ruin your cousin for the rest of your life. Queen Mother, please think about it carefully, my son will take a step first. "

The empress was so angry that her hands were shaking. I'm afraid this child is not here to collect debts!

Ever since he got to know Su Xinyi, his temper has become more and more uncontrollable, and he wished he could go to heaven!

The Queen frowned, looked at Zhao Momo and asked, "Is there any news from Your Majesty?"

Zhao Nanny shook her head, "Not yet."

The queen snorted, "His Majesty regards the selection of a concubine for the crown prince as more important than state affairs."

Zhao Momo just got the news, bent down beside the Empress and said in a low voice: "I heard that it seems that Concubine Li Gui is asking His Majesty to urge the marriage of King Xiang, and the one she is interested in is County Master Yong'an."

"Who?" The Queen looked sideways at Zhao Momo, "Su Xinyi? Real or fake?"

"It should be true. This is news from Zhaoyu Palace." Zhao Nanny said.

Although the queen didn't like Su Xinyi, she didn't want the Crown Princess to fall on Su Xinyi's head, so Princess Xiang naturally couldn't do it either.

Su Xinyi is not good in every way, but who made her have a good father!
So no matter which prince Su Xinyi marries, it is not a good thing for their mother and son.

"Concubine Li Gui is really magnanimous. Has she forgotten about Li Ji?" The queen sneered, "The Li family is really shameless. For Su Chun's little credit, they are so shameless."

After hearing the words, Mother Zhao said, "Your Majesty, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

The queen was upset, and suppressed her anger and said: "What can I do? Your Majesty hasn't entered Yuanhui Palace for a few days since the incident of Xiaoyu Qingchi. I can't do anything at this juncture."

Speaking of this, the empress really hated that envoy Zhang who had done more than succeed in her affairs, but she died easily, which caused her so much trouble.

The death of a palace official in the harem is nothing, but it was not the right time, and he was caught by the prince again. His good son didn't know what ecstasy soup was poured into him by the prince, but he still thought that the prince was doing the right thing!
This made her very angry. Because of this, the queen had to live with her tail between her legs, and she felt suffocated when she thought about it.

But if the matter is left like this, the queen can't swallow this breath. She looked at Zhao mama after thinking about it and said: "Spread the news that Li Guifei values ​​Su Xinyi as Princess Xiang and the prince robs people. After such news is spread, , Su Xinyi's Crown Princess should stop thinking about it, even Li Guifei has to think about the impact of this rumor on King Xiang."

In order to avoid damage to her reputation, Concubine Li Gui might have to put away this idea.

As for Su Xinyi's reputation, what does it have to do with her!

Zhao Nanny hurriedly responded, "The old slave will let people go tomorrow, and the palace gate is about to be locked today."

The queen nodded, "Then you remember, don't forget."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhao Mama responded with a full mouth.

The queen's mood is now a little better. A village girl in the country should stay in the country well. If she has to come to the capital to make herself uncomfortable, it's her own fault!
In Duke Qi's mansion, Su Xinyi gave the things to Yang Jin to take away, and she went back to study directly.

He just opened the book but couldn't read it any more, so he simply put the book down and went out to talk to Su Jingmo by himself, and happened to meet Su Xixian again at Su Jingmo's side.

Now the relationship between the two sisters is more sincere than before. Su Xixian is learning to embroider dowry with Su Jingmo. Su Chaoyan is incomparable.

As soon as Su Xinyi came, the two of them had an excuse to be lazy, throwing needles and thread at the same time, it was really dumbfounding.

The three sisters talked all night, Su Xinyi fell asleep peacefully after going back this time, listening to Su Jingmo complain that the mandarin ducks embroidered by Su Xixian are like wild ducks, and Su Xixian killed the shoes made by Su Jingmo like boats, the jokes continued all night, She felt inexplicably relieved.

Early the next morning, Su Jingmo came to Su Xinyi with a sewing frame in his arms. She didn't want to partner with Su Xixian, it was too annoying.

As a result, Su Jingmo arrived, and Su Xixian also arrived holding the sewing frame.

The two sisters stared at each other, Su Xinyi couldn't help laughing.

Greeting the two older sisters to come in, Su Xinyi served Delphinium tea, but she didn't want the two of them to fight at her place, so she immediately found a topic and asked, "Fourth sister, is there any news about the wedding date at the Marquis of Changnan?"

Su Jingmo sipped his tea, poked at the needle and thread and bowed his head, saying, "They are busy removing clothes, and they should come to the door after removing clothes."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Changnan Hou has always been a responsible person, and she will handle it decently when asking someone to come to propose marriage."

Su Jingmo raised his eyebrows, "Of course, if you propose a marriage, you have to be perfunctory, and my mother will definitely not agree to this marriage." Then he looked at Su Xixian, "The Yin family has to wait, don't worry, wait for me It's your turn to settle the marriage."

"Who is in a hurry?" Su Xixian blushed suddenly, "Is there someone like you who is a sister?"

Su Jingmo also felt that what he said was wrong, so it was rare to apologize. He looked at Su Xixian and said, "Aren't I worried that you are afraid that Aunt Weng will cause trouble? I heard that Aunt Weng is always making troubles these days, so let you go and see looking at her?"

Su Xixian looked at Su Jingmo, "Fourth Sister, I will remember what you taught me. I won't be soft-hearted this time, and my brother is here. I have been there a few times, and I know she is just pretending, so I didn't go again." .”

Su Xinyi didn't even know about this, but she didn't want to slander, so she said: "If Aunt Weng is really dissatisfied, let her go to Sanbo, what's the matter with tormenting you? Don't you think you have a heart for her?" Ruan, you should tell Uncle San."

"If there is another time, I will tell my father." Su Xixian looked at them, "I know that you are doing it for my own good, and I understand now that I will not retreat again."

Su Jingmo nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and didn't say anything sarcastic this time, then looked at Su Xinyi and asked: "Xiao Liu, why is there no news from the palace, there must be something to choose or not? In half a month, there is no news from my fourth aunt?"

Su Xinyi shook his head, "Others are waiting, so let's wait too. How late can it be? Besides, all the ladies who participated in this election are indeed excellent, and it is not easy to choose the right one."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Su Jingmo was used to thinking and wanted to reply, when he saw the door curtain being raised all of a sudden, and Lian Qiao hurried in, "Girls, Mrs. Tai told you to go over quickly, the palace is coming to pass the news." It's the purpose."

This is really what to say, finally there is news.

Su Jingmo and Su Xixian had to go back to change their clothes first, and Su Xinyi also had to change into formal clothes. The sisters immediately separated and acted separately, and then reunited with Mrs. Tai.

Knowing that she would not be selected, Su Xinyi picked out a lake blue dress and put it on. Forsythia quickly combed the girl's hair in a bun, picked out a pair of red gold butterflies to wear on the hairpin, and took a sheep Put the fat jade bracelet on her hand.

After she was dressed neatly, she followed the girl to Mrs. Tai's place. After walking a few steps, Su Xinyi turned a corner and went to her mother's place. Sure enough, she saw that her mother had also changed clothes and came out, so the mother and daughter walked together.

The Fourth Madam looked at Xin Yi and said, "It should just be the decree of losing the election, don't be nervous, let's accept the decree just like last time."

Su Xinyi felt the same, she wasn't nervous at all.

When everyone arrived at Mrs. Tai's place, they saw the old man was there, several uncles were walking in the yamen, and the old man led his family members to open the middle door to receive the order.

The middle door of Duke Qi's mansion was wide open, and the angel delivering the decree arrived soon. The old man raised his feet to meet him, and couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the person who came to deliver the decree.

Holding the imperial decree in both hands, Hu Siyi looked at the old man and said hello, "Old man, how are you doing recently?"

"Okay, it's very good, Mr. Lao Hu is very concerned about it." The old man had a bad feeling when he saw Hu Siyi.

Hu Siyi looked at the old man very respectfully, "Old man, please accept the order first."

The old man nodded hurriedly and walked back to his old wife. The incense table had already been set up, and he knelt down on his knees to welcome the imperial edict.
