royal princess

Chapter 250 Who Showed Her the Way?

Si Jin didn't mention the matter of falling into the water, but turned to the matter of trial planting to ease Xiao Qi's anger.Although it is said that something happened to Peng Mingwei in the harem, it doesn't matter whether it was plotted by Peng Mingwei or was plotted by others.In short, Xiao Qi couldn't face his courtiers with emotions, because he lost the dignity of a king.

Xiao Qi looked down at Si Jin who was putting on a belt for her, and felt warm in his heart for a moment. Judging by her appearance, he should know what happened.But she didn't say a word, and suddenly felt like laughing.Normally, the jar of vinegar would fall when touched, but this time there was no movement at all.

It turned out that Xiao Qi still thought it was difficult to speak up about this matter, but now he felt that if Si Jin didn't ask, it must be because she believed in her innocence.

Although the word innocence seems a bit wrong.

"You know, don't you?" She put her arms around Si Jin, glanced at her son who was playing with toys with his butt up on the couch, and asked. "That's how you trust me?"

"With your temperament, if it wasn't too sudden, you would definitely not go into the water to save people, and you would definitely kick Guan Chang'an down to save people." Si Jin smiled softly. A man like Xiao Qi grew up in the harem since he was a child. , I am used to the methods of ghosts and monsters, so it is really difficult to count him like this.I'm afraid it was forced by the situation at the time, and I couldn't bear to think about it for a while, so I reacted more rationally than I went into the water to save people.Then he realized that he had been tricked by others, so he became angry and went back to Yihexuan without changing the above.

Guan Chang'an through the curtain: ...

Xiao Qi felt his depressed heart eased from the inside out, and hugged her vigorously, "I'll go see Peng Da first."

"Go." Si Jin straightened Xiao Qi's emperor's crown, smiled and sent him out of the door. Before going out, she gently took his hand and said in a low voice: "At any time, take the mistakes made by others Punishing yourself is the most stupid thing. You have done a good job, and people’s desires are hard to fill. Sometimes, don’t hurt yourself easily, and learn to look away.” It is very difficult for a perfectionist to look away. things, but she still wants to persuade.

Why can't life be a little easier?

"Okay." Xiao Qi didn't care how many people were there, lowered his head and kissed Si Jin lightly on the forehead, "Come back to accompany you at night."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Si Jin held his son who had slipped from the bed and ran over with one hand, and waved goodbye to Xiao Qi with the other.

Xiao Qi looked at the mother and son and smiled, then turned around and strode away.

After Xiao Qi left, Si Jin went back to the inner hall with a straight face, and called Aunt Jiang in, "Is the matter clear? What's going on?" Asking Aunt Jiang to carry Yu Qin up, she asked .

Aunt Jiang looked at Si Jin and said, "Your servant has already asked clearly, saying that today the emperor came back from Shoukang Palace to greet the queen mother, and he took the road near the lake. I don't want to meet some young masters in the palace." Just about to go on a cruise, when the emperor passed by, Mrs. Peng accidentally stepped on the pedal and fell down. When she fell, she just caught the hem of the emperor's clothes."

Si Jin thought about it after hearing the words, this matter sounds reasonable, but something is not quite right.

"The emperor usually greets the empress dowager back, and it seems that he doesn't usually take the road near the lake." Si Jin asked, looking at Aunt Jiang.

"Yes, the emperor doesn't like to walk through the Imperial Garden either. There are many people on these two roads." Winter is fine, but now that spring is here, as soon as the weather warms up, there will be more people enjoying the scenery on the path near the lake.The emperor thought it was troublesome, so he always took the road with few people.

"Why did the emperor suddenly take this road?" Si Jin said softly.

Aunt Jiang glanced at Si Jin, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that when the emperor greeted the empress dowager, what did the empress dowager say?"

This possibility is also possible, so Si Jin nodded, "I can't find out for now, but who were the concubines present at that time?"

"Most of them are young masters who have just entered the palace. Qiao Xiaoyi, Wang Guiren, Li Cairen, and Mrs. Peng are all there, as well as a few concubines who don't usually like to come out. There were quite a lot of people at that time." Aunt Jiang said.

"According to common sense, these people should salute and greet the emperor when they see the emperor's driver. Why does this Mrs. Peng still board the boat?" Si Jin felt a little strange.

"At that time, Mrs. Peng was facing the emperor with her back, so she didn't see Sheng Jia."

"No, she can't see it, can't others see it? Can't she see others salute and say hello?"

"It is said that Mrs. Peng was frightened when she heard everyone's sudden greeting. She stepped on the empty pedal and fell into the water. When she fell, she just grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, so the emperor also fell into the water. Take Mrs. Peng out of the water After being dragged up, the emperor went all the way back to Yihexuan with a dark face, what happened during this period, the servants were incompetent and failed to find out."

It didn't sound too complicated, but she still couldn't figure it out, so Si Jin thought about it, could it be that Xiao Qi realized it was a conspiracy when he fell into the water?
This is impossible, but if you only care about saving people, even if you are forced to go down, you should save people first, so there is no time to care about other things.So, what is going on?
Si Jin herself couldn't figure it out, it seemed that only the person involved knew this matter best.

And what role did Mrs. Peng, the direct action person in this matter, play here?It was a coincidence that she fell into the water with her front foot, and her father entered the palace with her back foot. Is there any connection here?
Si Jin rubbed her head, looked at Aunt Jiang and asked, "Apart from Mrs. Peng, was there anything unusual about other people?" It was impossible for these people to not react when encountering such a thing.

"At that time, both Wang Guiren and Li Cairen were frightened. It was Qiao Xiaoyi who called for help. But Qiao Xiaoyi didn't step forward, and stepped aside after calling for help."

Isn't this like Qiao Lingyi's style?
Xiao Qi has gone the wrong way, Queen Mother...Qiao Lingyi...Ms. Peng...What is the connection between these people?

"Ms. Peng, what do you know about this person?" Si Jin had never paid attention to Peng Mingwei, and thinking about it now, she really didn't know what kind of person she was.

Aunt Jiang thought for a while, and then said: "When Mrs. Peng was in Mingxiu Palace, she lived in the same room as Qiao Xiaoyi. During the time they lived together, the two had a very good relationship. Mrs. Peng has a submissive temperament and works well. Gentle, not only Qiao Xiaoyi, but also other people have a good relationship with her. Because she is timid, her family background is not prominent, and her appearance is not the best, so she is quite stable in the palace. Since she was named a lady Afterwards, I usually go in-depth and simple, and I am quite a stable person.”

"It's kind of surprising that such a thing happened to such a person." Si Jin smiled suddenly, looked at Aunt Jiang and said, "If someone comes to see me, just say I don't see anyone."

Aunt Jiang was taken aback, because since the master closed the door to thank the guests for raising the baby, there are really very few people in the harem who come to visit.Everyone also knew and understood that this was because Yi Hexuan didn't want to see people.

Before Aunt Jiang regained her composure, Yun Chang lifted the curtain and came in, knelt down to salute, looked at Si Jin, and said, "Madam, Mrs. Peng begs to see her, and said that she would like to see the master no matter what."

Aunt Jiang: ...

Si Jin lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

Aunt Jiang said: "This servant sent her away."

Aunt Jiang lifted the curtain and went out. Yun Chang looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Si Jin, "Your Majesty..."

Si Jin waved his hand, looked at Yun Shang and said, "Take the eldest prince to play in the courtyard, you have heard about Mrs. Peng, and Yihexuan doesn't care about it."

Who knows who is reaching out behind, Si Jin doesn't want to be used as a stepping stone.Moreover, she didn't know this Peng Mingwei well, and she didn't have any contact with her. At this time, she should be begging the Empress Empress instead of begging herself. It was obviously going the wrong way.

Who showed her the way?
Si Jin was never a virgin, and she was involved too much in the affairs of the harem, and she might be implicated in it unknowingly if she was not careful.You let her have a heart of caring for others all the time, she really can't do it.

Yun Shang took Yu Qin to play in the yard, Aunt Jiang went to send off Mrs. Peng herself, and Si Jin sat in the room alone, looking through the window at her son playing with his short legs in the yard.The tense and ruthless face gradually eased down.Whether you say she is ruthless or selfish, she doesn't want to be in any danger in this harem.

When she is not capable enough to help others, she can ensure the safety of herself and her children.

It was only Xiao Qi who decided on the trial planting of the Agriculture and Mulberry Administration, and the matter had not even started, and now this matter happened in the palace.Not to mention, the matter of three times a year was brought up by her father in court. Did these things happen against her father?
Although she has been in this time and space for several years and has not seen this father with her own eyes, she is still very grateful for what their family has done for her.Being able to protect her daughter like this and not drag her down, she naturally has to do her best to help the original owner protect such a natal family.

When Xiao Qi came back, Si Jin had already coaxed his son to sleep, and she told the bedtime story. Although the father was a little disappointed, but the mother and concubine told two bedtime stories, she was also very satisfied.Just came back from Piandian, just in time to meet Xiao Qi who came back.

Holding Si Jin's hand and walking into the house, he said, "I wanted to have dinner with you, but things got delayed. Where's Yu Jin, asleep?"

Si Jin nodded, "I kept thinking about you, and then I told him two bedtime stories before I fell asleep."

Xiao Qi paused when he heard the words, glanced at his son's room, sighed and said: "I'm too busy to take care of him, the little guy must be upset."

It is already very good for Xiao Qi to be able to do this, so Si Jin said: "You usually spend time with him, and he knows about it, so don't worry." Even if a child is young, he will know who treats him well, Who treats him badly.

Thinking of his own son, he couldn't help thinking of Princess Yuzhen.Si Jin's heart is actually very complicated. Looking at this matter from her standpoint, to be honest, she doesn't feel sorry for the imperial concubine at all, but she has some sympathy for this child.The imperial concubine was all for the sake of the family, and she opposed Xiao Qi several times, even bringing her child between the two of them was very embarrassing.
