Once the Crown Prince Joins In

409: The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant.

Li Sui couldn't help but feel happy when he heard his wife's words, and then said: Why are you angry? I think the Crown Princess heard these words herself, and she may not take them to heart. Besides, these words are not unreasonable, otherwise, Your Majesty Why would you choose the sixth sister to be the crown princess?

Su Lanxi glanced at her husband and spoke slowly, Why did you choose the sixth sister? I don't know, but the sixth sister values ​​​​love and justice, wholeheartedly protects her family, and has never violated the palace rules after marrying into the East Palace. New𝟼𝟿Book Bar→ 𝟼𝟿𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚡.𝚌𝚘𝚖I see that these people are slandering people because they can’t catch the fault of Sixth Sister and are so anxious that they want to jump.”

Okay, don't be angry, I just said something casually to you, but it made you so angry. Li Sui hurriedly tried to persuade, You haven't said why the Crown Princess is writing you a letter? Do you need it? Can I help?

There is no need for you to help us with the affairs of our family. Su Lanxi smiled, Sixth sister is pregnant now. Although His Majesty said that sixth sister can return to her parents' home at any time, do you think she is a serious person? She was thinking about her fifth sister and asked me to go and see her for her.

What's wrong with the fifth sister? Li Sui asked in surprise, Yin Ru didn't treat her well, or did he still want to take care of her?

Can't you think of something good? Su Lanqian was also convinced, Yin Qianhu is good to the fifth sister. Besides, the matter of taking concubines is their family's business. As long as this kind of thing is not as unconscionable as the historians at the time, Can we still stop you? Even if you want to take a concubine, I won't stop you.

When Li Sui heard this, he got involved with him again and hurriedly begged for mercy, Please forgive me. I am too busy with my errand. I have to take care of you two. How can I be happy with my heart and my sleeves?

When Su Lanxi was pregnant, his mother wanted to give her a concubine, but he and his wife had a good relationship, and his wife reacted quickly. She turned around and slapped the girl next to him, and he was caught in the middle. They are not human inside or outside.

He didn't want to live that kind of life. It was the girl who was flirting with his wife. Except for the few days he had been there, he couldn't remember what she looked like now.

Going a step further, it doesn't matter if he takes a concubine here, as long as he takes a careless concubine to cause trouble for Lan Qian, that's all. He has to worry day and night that the Crown Princess will come to his door one day with a gun in his hand.

That Shi family, who was also the Duke's Mansion with a profound background in the capital, couldn't stand her and demolished the house with a few shots. Now the Duke of Qin's Mansion has long since disappeared, and Shi Zhongqian has also disappeared.

He also wanted to have his children live happily until old age.

Li Sui hurriedly cleared the matter, looked at his wife and asked, Then why did the Crown Princess write to you to see the fifth sister?

Su Lanxi didn't mention the matter about her mother's family to her husband. It would be a long story to talk about now, and there was no conclusion to the matter. She really didn't want to talk about it, so she just tried to talk to her, It's not like you don't know, what about fifth sister? Everything is fine, but her aunt is a little worried. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝓼𝓱𝓾𝔁.𝓬𝓸𝓶”

Li Sui understood, it was for Aunt Weng again.

If you don't say that Aunt Weng has gone to Zhuangzi, why is there such a fuss? Li Sui had never met someone like Aunt Weng, and he couldn't figure out what else to cause trouble.

Su Lanxi pretended not to care and said: I don't know the specifics. The sixth sister only asked me to go sit with the fifth sister and talk to her.

Then you'd better go. Li Sui felt relieved when he heard that nothing big happened. With the Crown Princess's temperament, he was really afraid that something big would happen one day.

Su Lanxi nodded, Then I'll go to my mother and report it first. I need my mother's approval before I go out.

I'll go with you. Li Sui said immediately.

Su Lanxi smiled and said: It just so happens that my mother is always worried about your business trip, so you can come over and show me.

The couple walked out while talking. When they got outside the door, Su Lanxi saw Man Qing standing outside the door combing the woman's hair, and the smile on her face faded slightly.

When Man Qing saw the two of them, she immediately stepped forward and saluted, I give you my body to the Crown Prince. Madam, please give me your regards.

Li Sui nodded indifferently, but Su Lanqian glanced at the carefully dressed Man Qing, withdrew her eyes, and only nodded lightly, saying: You are interested, the prince and I have something to do, you and me Let's go back.

At first, she seemed to be an honest person, so she made Manqing an aunt, but she didn't know that she would become more popular over time. She heard that the prince came to her place, so she dressed up to block people.

Li Sui didn't notice the undercurrent between his wife and his concubine. He looked at Su Lanqian and said with a smile: Let's go. Speaking of which, Su Qi has only been married for a few days. I'll go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow to see if there are any. A place to help.”

If you want to go, you can go. My parents will definitely be happy to see you. It's also his blessing that your brother-in-law has to worry about him. Su Lanxi was happy after hearing this, and for a while she didn't care about meeting Man Qing. That was unpleasant.

Su Qi is a good boy. When he gave up literature and joined the martial arts, many people laughed at him. Now that he has accomplished several things, those people have to shut up. Looking back, I think I can find a serious job for him. He can't always do it. If you are messing around like this, work slowly first, and then you can promote him when he has enough experience.

You go tell my father about this matter, I don't care about outside matters.

Manqing watched the prince's back walking further and further away, tightened her hand on the handkerchief, and slowly lowered her head.

The girl cleaning the yard curled her lips and ignored her, continuing to sweep the floor. This one only dares to be so arrogant because she is the young lady's girl. If it were any other mistress, she would have to be beaten with a stick and taught a long lesson. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

In the Duke of Qi's Mansion, Xie Kun was playing chess with Sister Jun in a decent manner. The old man on the side was watching with half-squinted eyes. Previously, the Crown Princess had someone come to take them to the East Palace, but he stopped him and looked at this kid. Looking disappointed, the old man had no choice but to personally teach him how to play chess. Sister Jun also joined in the fun. One of them was teaching him, and the other two were raising him, so they went off together.

As it happened, the two little ones were playing chess decently, and he could take a break while watching the fun.

Xie Kun's eyes rolled around, looking at the old man's contented expression, he couldn't help but curl his lips, and he was worried about being seen and lowered his head.

Sister Jun loves to cry and act coquettishly. Playing chess with her is too tiring, but he still has to pretend to try his best.

Hey, I don’t know if his father is still alive?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the sound of footsteps. Xie Kun immediately sat upright and saw his third uncle striding in from the corner of his eyes. His eyes suddenly lit up and he calmly gave in to Sister Jun, coaxing the little girl. The girl smiled happily.

With his ears raised high, he heard his third uncle greeting his great-grandfather before he came in. He stood up and grabbed Sister Jun to greet his third uncle together.

Hey, how are you two playing chess? How are you doing? The third master looked at Xie Kun and wanted to tease him. His face at such a young age looked like it had been struck by lightning. Whose kid doesn't like to laugh? The king of hell felt sad when he saw him.

Back to Third Uncle, my sister and I are still learning. Our skills are not perfect yet and we have to practice slowly. Whenever you are free, you can give us some pointers. Xie Kun raised his eyes and said seriously.

The third master was amused that such a little kid actually spoke in adult language and even gave pointers.

Okay, I'll give you some free advice some other time, kid. Third Master readily agreed, You two, take your time, I have something to say to your great-grandfather.

The old man stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said: After this game, go and have some fun. Don't stay bored in the house.

Xie Kun said hello and sent the person away in a polite manner.

The old man took his third son to the study. After sitting down, he said, Let's talk about it.

The third master sat down and said, It's a matter of the Weng family. My son couldn't decide the importance of it for a while, so he came to ask dad for advice.

The old man sneered, I told you not to bring people into the house back then. Why didn't you listen then?

The third master was so embarrassed by his own father that he said, Dad, it's been so many years, can you please stop mentioning it?

The old man sneered, and then said: Whatever you do, follow the rules!

The third master was silent for a moment, staring at the ground, and said slowly: If we do this, the Weng family will break up with the Weng family.

What a good lady. Look at what concubine style she has learned. She went to the Jingweng family in the early years and gained a good reputation. It's a pity. The old man glanced at his son, Don't say such useless things. If you have something to say, say it directly. , if you’re beating around the bush, get out.”

The third master forced a smile and said, Dad, you have also seen that this time Weng has made a contribution to the family. She has done a lot of wrong things in the past, and this time the Weng family also broke her heart. Waiting for this After this matter is over, my son wants to take her back to his home, do you think that's okay?

Discuss the matter of the back house with your mother and your daughter-in-law. What should you do with me, an old man?

Being criticized by his biological father again, the third master kept up his efforts, She really has no way out. If she returns to the village, my son is afraid that she will not be able to let go, so he might as well take her back, at least for the sake of Xixian and Su Chu. Otherwise, what will happen to the two children in the future?

The old man snorted, bad bamboo produced good bamboo shoots, and did not object again this time.

The third master felt relieved, and then continued: Xinyi sent me a reply, and I also want to discuss with dad what to do next.

you say.

It's still about Wantong Tea House. This time the person we were following found a woman who looked similar to Xu Yurong. My son was afraid that he might be mistaken, so he went to find someone who knew her to identify her. Dad, do you think there are really similar people in this world? The person who went to identify the person said that the woman’s face was 50% similar to Xu Yurong’s, and he was not sure if it was her. However, another person said that although the face was only 50% similar, her walking posture and tone of voice But he is at least 70-80% similar to Xu Yurong. My son thinks the resemblance is too far-fetched, and it is very possible that Xu Yurong did something to his face.

Then what do you want to do?

I want to arrest the person first and then interrogate him.

If Xu Yurong is really related to King Yi, King Yi will definitely notice her disappearance. If you do this, you must be fully prepared. This matter is not big, but it is not small. You and your eldest brother Let’s discuss it.”

The third master knew that his father had agreed, and nodded, My son must discuss it with the eldest and second brothers. In addition, His Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year. Grand Master Li has been making small moves recently, and there have been many people with them recently. The generals with some connections in the Su family have all been impeached. Although it won't kill anyone, it is very annoying. Do you have any ideas?

Master Li has a deep foundation in the court. Last time, didn't Xin Yi say that Fu Yun was the spy arranged by King Yi to be with King Xiang? With Concubine Li's temperament, how could she allow such a thing to happen to her son and reveal the news to Concubine Li? You know, don’t go through the Li family.”

There are still three points left in the rotten ship, not to mention a family like the Su family. In the past, they restrained themselves because they didn't want to be in the limelight, but because they wanted to live quietly and peacefully.

But now that there is a princess in the family, there is no need to think about living in peace. Grand Master Li wants to test the Su family. The Su family is not a soft persimmon.

Send the message directly to Concubine Li. If your Majesty notices...

It doesn't matter. Do you think His Majesty doesn't know that the Li family also has eyes and ears in the palace? The old man smiled, Why did Your Majesty let Xin Yi be the Crown Princess? Think about it carefully.

The third master said yes, and then said: Such good news must be made lively for Concubine Li before the end of the year. My son will do it now. When will Xu Yurong take action? My son originally wanted to wait until the Weng family took action. .”

The old man nodded, Let's do that. Each generation of the Weng family is no longer as good as the last. It would be better to separate them earlier, lest they become monsters through the hands of Aunt Weng, mother and son.

Yes. The third master nodded in agreement, then stood up and left.

As soon as the third master left, the old man's eyes looked at the courtyard. He had to hold on for a few more years, at least to see Xin Yi's position completely stabilized and to see the next generation of Qi Duke's children completely stand up.

The children in Huaining are coming back soon, and they should be in time for Su Qi to get married.

I don't know how much progress has been made in Suizhou. Even Su Yi and the prince cannot return to Beijing, and he will not come back.

The old man stood up slowly, called Chen Hai over, and said to him: Bring me my property booklet.

Chen Hai was stunned, Old man, what are you doing?

When the old man didn't pay much attention, The children have grown up, and the things belonging to the father's house cannot be moved without dividing them into families. The older they get, the less places they can use their money, and everything that should be divided is divided.

Chen Hai was startled, Old Master...

No need to say more, go get it.

Chen Hai had no choice but to turn around. The old man's thoughts were becoming more and more difficult to understand, but he was just in charge and just obeyed orders.

The stars are extraordinarily bright tonight. The Li family's lights are brightly lit at this time, and the courtyard where Master Li is located is heavily guarded inside and outside.

Even the servants of the Li family were not allowed to pass by here. The night was quiet, and this courtyard was even more silent.

Taishi Li sat on the top chair and looked at his second son, Did King Yi really promise to let him return to Beijing regarding your eldest brother?

Li Yan nodded, That's what King Yi said, but my son always feels that the danger is too great at this time. Dad, I think we still have to think carefully. If King Yi dares to praise such a Haikou, we can't just believe it. .”

Taishi Li looked a little disappointed when he saw his second son. If his eldest son was still here, he would definitely seize such an opportunity immediately.

If the eldest son could return to the capital in an upright manner, the noble concubines in the palace would not be as difficult as they are now, and Prince Xiang's future would be better.
