Chapter
The Queen Mother was not surprised at all because of Chen Jin's arrival. Instead, she had someone cleaned up the room, and she didn't see her or even sent someone to her.
Although An Yi and the others had been taken over by the people in the palace, they did not start to pack up because of Chen Jin's order. After arriving in the empress dowager, several people began to sort out the things. Chen Jin did not bring much luggage into the palace, so it was not difficult to pack up.
The Empress Dowager arranged a side hall for Chen Jin. It was not big but it was very complete. There was also a separate kitchen. Because the Empress Dowager had ordered it, he had also packed it up separately, and even the things were delivered. The things in Chen Jin's kitchen were all divided by the Empress Dowager. Before Chen Jin could pack it up, the Empress also brought the things from him. She only said that Chen Jin would follow Princess Ruyang's orders in the future.
At this time, Chen Jin was already asleep in the cleaned-up inner room, covered the bed curtain carefully, An Ning was guarding the outside, and An Yuan and the others all made a light voice to pack things, so they would not disturb Chen Jin.
Compared with Shen Jin's leisure, the Ganlu Palace was covered with dark clouds. What Lu Fei could only be honored by the favor of Long Si and Emperor Cheng. Now Emperor Cheng clearly ignored her and would not see her again in a short period of time. She now has no right to take a step out of the Ganlu Palace. In this way, Concubine Lu lowered her eyes slightly and looked at her belly, and could only wait until the child was born before talking.
Emperor Cheng was angry at Ganlu Palace and was unwilling to go anywhere else, so he went directly to Concubine Lan's palace.
Concubine Lan is now in her thirties, so naturally she is no longer young. However, her unique attitude makes Emperor Cheng like Concubine Lu and others, and she will come to Concubine Lan to rest for two days every month, so naturally no one in Concubine Lan’s palace dares to neglect it.
When Emperor Cheng came, Concubine Lan was eating. She used it very simply, but four dishes and one soup, and three vegetarian dishes and one meat. Emperor Cheng was about to lose his temper at first sight. Concubine Lan said softly, "Your Majesty, you are trying it. This is what I grew in a small garden. I wanted to try it. If it gets better, I will invite Your Majesty tomorrow."
"Huh." Emperor Cheng knew that Concubine Lan had someone specially opened a small garden in the hall and planted a lot of these things. He didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect it to be used anymore. He smiled and said, "Even so, the concubine is too simple to use."
When Concubine Lan heard this, she smiled and said, "I don't need to use that much by myself. Your Majesty, just let them do more." After the queen knew that Concubine Lan could not be pregnant, she opened her small kitchen, making it convenient for someone to send some things.
Emperor Cheng heard this and said, "Just serve a few more meat dishes."
Concubine Lan nodded and ordered the palace maids around her to go to the kitchen. The dishes she mentioned were all preferred by Emperor Cheng. Seeing Concubine Lan, Emperor Cheng felt much more comfortable. Concubine Lan personally took the tea and made tea for Emperor Cheng and said, "Your Majesty, try it. I found that the tea was put in some dried fruits a few days ago, which tasted good."
Emperor Cheng took a look and said nothing. He sang with a scent. It had some fruity aroma that suppressed the taste of the tea, with a little sweet and sour, not bad, but it was a woman's favorite. Seeing that Emperor Cheng tasted it, Concubine Lan took the rest and drank it herself, soaked it for Emperor Cheng again and said, "I just want Your Majesty to taste it."
"Naughty." Emperor Cheng said with a smile.
When Concubine Lan heard this, she smiled and said nothing. As soon as the tea was ready, the palace maids had already removed all the things just now and served them new dishes. Emperor Cheng and Concubine Lan used them together. The two of them didn't say anything at all. However, Concubine Lan was useless. She just served Emperor Cheng. Before she knew it, Emperor Cheng used a lot and finally drank another bowl of soup.
After using the meal, Emperor Cheng's mood improved a lot. Concubine Lan didn't ask anything. Emperor Cheng told Concubine Lan about the matter about Ganlu Palace. Concubine Lan frowned slightly and said with a little displeasure, "In theory, I shouldn't have said Concubine Lu, but she did this, but she has implicated His Majesty, which is not supposed to be."
Emperor Cheng felt a little unhappy when he heard this, and felt that Concubine Lan was talking for Chen Jin. Concubine Lan continued to say as if she was unaware of it, "The Marquis of Yongning, the princess was the Marquis. How could she become a princess rely on the identity of His Majesty's niece. When Concubine Lu said this, it's no wonder that Princess Ruyang felt uncomfortable at that time."
Concubine Lan's voice was soft, and she looked at Emperor Cheng's sincere heart, "Even I am angry."
Emperor Cheng suddenly understood that Concubine Lan was confident that Concubine Lu had implicated her reputation. In fact, this was true. Chen Jin was the princess of the royal family. He used her with a prostitute and insulted not only the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, but also the princess of Tianqi, and Emperor Cheng's niece.
"Concubine Lu is young and ignorant." Emperor Cheng also felt uncomfortable, but now he still likes Concubine Lu a little, so he maintained it.
Concubine Lan was not angry either, but said, "I think the Empress feels the same, so she arranged Concubine Lu in this way."
Emperor Cheng nodded, and Concubine Lan frowned and said, "But the wife of the Marquis is so, she is still so noisy in the palace... If outsiders knew about it, they would probably misunderstand Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Emperor Cheng was dissatisfied. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be so embarrassed today.
Concubine Lan lowered her eyes slightly, poured another cup of tea for Emperor Cheng, and said, "I know that Your Majesty feels sorry for her niece. In fact, the princess really lives in the empress dowager's harem. The empress dowager is an elder. No matter how troubled the princess...but the princess is also true." Before she finished speaking, Emperor Cheng was already satisfied.
Emperor Cheng hugged Concubine Lan and said, "It's because Concubine Lan knows my intention."
Concubine Lan responded softly, "I hope Your Majesty is healthy, and I hope Your Majesty is always happy."
Emperor Cheng laughed. In fact, after all, it was Emperor Cheng's words that were still in the mind of Emperor Cheng. Why could Chen Jin be the Marquis of Yongning? But because she was her niece, if she had no such identity, Chen Jin would never be the Marquis of Yongning. Moreover, Chen Jin dared to cry in the palace, wasn't it because of the identity of the princess? Although he felt that Chen Jin had caused him a lot of trouble, Emperor Cheng was also relieved. If Chen Jin was on his side, there would be more things that could be operated.
The position of Mrs. Yongning Hou is not only valuable but also very useful.
In the border town, Chu Xiuyuan is now in charge, and Chu Xiuming secretly led his troops away. He went to pick up Xu Yuan and others. There was no news from Xu Yuan so far, but he promised Xu Yuan and it was time to calculate that life was too time. In fact, before that, Chu Xiuming had sent people to the pickup location.
In this way, Chu Xiuming naturally could not bring Dongdong with him, so he could only leave Dongdong for Concubine Chen to take care of him. However, it was okay at night. During the day, Dongdong had already been raised by Chu Xiuming, so he naturally didn't want to stay in the house. Chu Xiuyuan also felt sorry for his nephew, so he carried Dongdong all day, and took him wherever he went, and sent him to Concubine Chen at night. It would be fine if Dongdong had three meals a day with Madam Zhao and the others to take care of him.
Dongdong was well-behaved. He cried two days before Chu Xiuming left. Now he stopped making trouble. He just sat on the soft couch specially made for him, holding Jiu Lianhang in his hand to play. From time to time, he looked at the people below, as if he could understand it, and occasionally he would say aloud, as if he agreed.
Zhao Duan and the others were used to it. Sometimes General Lin and the others would bring things to play with Dongdong. However, it was the first time King Rui saw this situation. He knew how heavy he was. Although he was dissatisfied with Chu Xiuming's departure and handed over the border city affairs to Chu Xiuyuan instead of himself. However, looking at Zhao Duan and those things that he could not understand, King Rui became honest. Although he was forced to come to the conference hall every day, he never expressed any opinions. He just listened. Today, when the matter reached a stage of discussion, several generals left first. When Zhao Duan and General Wang stayed to continue handling the matter, he suddenly said, "Why do I look familiar to Dongdong?"
Manager Zhao and Zhao Duan looked at each other, and Chu Xiuyuan wiped Dongdong's saliva with a veil and said, "I think it's because Dongdong is somewhat similar to his sister-in-law when she was a child."
Zhao Duan also laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, Dongdong is your grandson, it is appropriate to look familiar."
King Rui couldn't remember clearly, and he didn't even remember what Shen Jin looked like when he was a child. He heard this and said, "Yes." He no longer cared about it. Compared with Dongdong's grandson, it was Shen Qing's son and Baozhu's granddaughter who looked like him, which made King Rui even more concerned. "But Dongdong is quite obedient and doesn't make trouble."
Chu Xiuyuan took Dongdong into his arms and Anping brought the egg custard. Chu Xiuyuan asked Dongdong to sit on a special small table, tied a doudu for him, and let him eat it himself. This doudu was embroidered by Concubine Chen, and there were a few little yellow ducks on it. Dongdonghai couldn't hold the spoon, but he lowered his head and grabbed the spoon and kept making the custard into his mouth. He ate the table all over his face. Zhao Duan thought of his son when he was a child, and started to laugh, "Is the doudu delicious?"
Dongdong remembered that his father said that he could not speak when there was something in his mouth, so he swallowed the things in his mouth first before saying, "Great times!" His little face was covered with egg slag, his eyes were bright, and he looked particularly cute, but he was not as happy as he was when he was chubby before. He was thinner.
Zhao Duan didn't dislike him, so he wiped Dongdong's face and said, "Then eat more."
Dongdong nodded, continued to lower his head and tried to eat it. However, King Rui was lost again. He just thought Dongdong looked familiar... But such a young child... After thinking about it, he didn't take it seriously. Seeing that he had nothing to do, he went home first.
Zhao Duan then asked, "Major General, is this really good?"
Chu Xiuyuan said, "What brother told me is that I think it comes from having an older brother."
Zhao Duan stopped saying anything after hearing this. When King Rui returned to the mansion, he saw Princess Rui playing shuttlecocks with a few maids. Shen Qi also sat aside with Baozhu to count for Princess Rui. Princess Rui never knew that Princess Rui could play shuttlecocks. He always thought that Princess Rui liked such elegant paintings.
When he saw King Rui, Princess Rui kicked the shuttlecock directly to someone else, and then said, "Why did the prince come back so early today?"
"Oh, I'll be back when it's okay." King Rui didn't react for a moment. Princess Rui had already asked the maid to pack up, and she also entered the inner room and asked the maid to take care of her clothes to wash.
After Chen Qi paid homage to King Rui, he left with his daughter first. King Rui followed Princess Rui and suddenly asked, "Princess, do you think the Dongdong looks familiar?"
"Dongdong is the son of Jin Yatou, so he naturally looks familiar." Princess Rui smiled.
King Rui shook his head and said nothing.
