Chapter 44
This farce was stopped by King Rui into a teacup smashed by King Rui. King Rui looked at his three daughters, and his old face was red in anger or shy manner. Chu Xiuming just now praised the upbringing in the mansion, but now...
King Rui said angrily, "What kind of decent thing is it, you..." He was so angry that he couldn't speak.
However, Princess Rui's expression remained unchanged, but she turned around and looked at the three sisters Chen Zisan and said, "Come here, I'll send the three girls back to sober up."
Chen Zi looked at King Rui in disbelief, but his eyes fell on the man in brocade clothes standing beside King Rui, and he could no longer move away. Who is this? Why is there an outsider here? Could it be that a prince in the palace? He blushed and took out a veil to cover his face. He just did this in front of the outsider, but he lost all the people.
Chen Rong didn't dare to scream anymore. Looking at Chen Zi's appearance, she also looked at the room curiously. She could easily see the man in brocade, because the eyes of both sisters were focused there.
Chen Jing blushed even more, regretting standing with Shen Zi and Chen Rong. I don’t know if their embarrassment just now had affected her. She lowered her head slightly and glanced a few times, her eyes were red with shame and ashamed.
After Princess Rui finished speaking, Cuixi took a few maids and invited Chen Zi and the other three to go down.
Chen Jing couldn't help it. Before leaving, she turned her head and looked over. She saw the man in brocade clothes talking to King Rui. King Rui looked a little better, bit his lip and left the yard. Chen Jing asked, "Cuixi, who is the person standing next to the father?"
Before Cuixi could speak, Chen Rong said, "Yes, why did outsiders come and don't say anything to us in advance." There was a little more blame and resentment in this sentence.
Chen Zi even asked directly, "Who is it your cousin?"
Cuixi said congratulatingly, "Today's home and future outsiders."
Princess Rui brought Chen Qi and Shen Jin into the house and explained a little apologetically, "I haven't seen Jin Yat for a long time. I was happy to ask the maid to serve a pot of peach blossom wine. Second, Fourth, and Fifth, and Fifth, I used a few more cups. I just made a joke, and I was not careful."
Drinking? No one here believed it, but it was not his wife who was embarrassed. Prince Yongle Hou smiled and said, "My mother-in-law is all her family."
Chu Xiuming also smiled and said, "It's okay."
Chen Zi's husband Zheng Jiaqu's face changed and changed. He didn't say anything, but his face looked particularly ugly.
Although Chen Xuan and Shen Xi were not close to Concubine Xu, they were also from Prince Rui's Mansion. Chen Zi and the other two were completely embarrassed. Chen Xi even turned red and looked carefully at Chu Xiuming with a calm expression.
Princess Rui said as if nothing had happened, "Sit down and let the maid serve the food. Today I specially asked the kitchen to prepare what you like, but I don't know what Yongning likes to use. I will prepare the kitchen next time."
Chu Xiuming smiled and said gently, "I am not picky, my mother-in-law just calls me Xiuming."
"Yeah." Princess Rui glanced at King Rui.
King Rui then realized, and forced himself to keep his face and said, "Sit down." It seemed that nothing had happened.
Because three people were missing, the maid removed the dishes and other things. After everyone sat down, the wine and food were brought up one by one, which was extremely rich. Just as Princess Rui said, everyone had prepared what they liked to eat.
In the Haitang Courtyard, Concubine Xu looked at her three devastated daughters and sent Cui Xi away first, then asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were eating with the princess? Why did you come back first?"
Chen Rong was the youngest, but she recovered first. She just looked at Concubine Xu and asked, "Mother, didn't you say that Yongning Bo is ugly?"
Concubine Xu frowned and saw that Chen Zi and Shen Jing were still out of control, and patted them unhappily and said, "Can I be wrong? Killing someone is so ugly..."
Chen Zi was not really unconscious. She just started crying because she was too shocked and indignant, "Mother, you lied to me!"
"Oh, what's wrong?" Xu Fangfang said in confusion, "Stop crying, have you been bullied by someone?"
Chen Zi cried even more sadly as she married Bo Yongning. She should have Madam Bo’s position, and she should have been praised outside. The husband should have been his own, "It’s all your fault...it should be mine..."
Chen Jing cried constantly, unlike Shen Zi's crying. She cried silently. Thinking of Yongning Bo's appearance, she felt a little deer jumping in her heart, but thinking that he had married his third sister, he was sad again, so why did all the good things fall on the third sister?
Although Chen Rong didn't cry, she felt embarrassed, and she still felt incredible now. Her mother and two sisters kept telling her that Chen Jin's husband was ugly and tyrannical, and the border town was poor and bad, but... her eyes flashed slightly.
After Concubine Xu finally understood the truth of the matter, she felt a headache for being crying and said, "Stop making trouble now, I'm afraid it's your father... Forget it, Jing Yatou and Rong Yatou, when your father comes, remember to cry a little sadly, and don't change your words. She just said that she felt scared when she saw Uncle Yongning. Do you know?"
"I understand." Chen Rong responded obediently.
He lowered his head calmly, and felt particularly unwilling.
After Chen Zi cried, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he looks good, he must be a golden shawl. He has killed countless people." I don't know whether to convince himself or others, "And now he is pretending. What kind of people can be raised in a place like a border town. Even the Master is invited, maybe he doesn't know a big word."
In addition to his son, Concubine Xu liked this daughter who looked like her the most. He said, "Yes, some time ago, the barbarians attacked the city, and Chen Jin had to live with a bunch of civilians. He lost all the face of the princess of the royal palace. Think about the letters he wrote back and all he wanted to eat."
Chen Zi snorted and went to the side to clean his face, "Who knows if those people are clean and clean, they are with a group of barbarians from the border town, and there is no rule at all, so they still have the face to walk around the capital?"
Chen Jin, who was said to be shameless to walk around the capital, was drinking the pigeon soup that Chen Qi gave her with his own hands. Zheng Jiaqu has not recovered yet because his wife is embarrassed and has not yet drunk any more. Prince Yongle Hou asked Chu Xiuming about many things about the border town. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he sighed, "I wish I could kill those barbarians with my own hands."
Chu Xiuming smiled and did not answer. King Rui sighed, "It's so dangerous."
Chen Xi looked at Chu Xiuming in admiration and asked, "Third brother-in-law, I want to fight those barbarians with you too."
King Rui was so scared that his hands trembled, and the wine in the glass almost spread out, looking at Chen Xi. Chen Xuan seemed to have not seen King Rui's loss of composure, but just smiled, "Only with the existence of his brother-in-law, we can enjoy peace in the capital."
Chu Xiuming shook his head and said nothing, but his eyes swept to Chen Jin's hand that wanted to pour wine secretly. Chen Jin felt the danger and calmly shrank his hand as if nothing had happened. Then he took the wine pot to fill the wine glass of Princess Rui and Chen Qi, and then put the wine pot aside again.
Seeing Chen Jin's appearance, Chu Xiuming then looked away and answered King Rui's question.
Chen Jin took a secret look and felt that Chu Xiuming was too cruel. She saw Chu Xiuming not paying attention to this place before pouring the wine. Princess Rui naturally saw all this, lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Chen Qi, sighing in her heart that it was really a personal fate.
After using up the meal, Chen Qi sat aside and whispered to Shen Jin, "Do you think Chen Zi will regret it when he goes back?"
"Why?" Chen Jin looked puzzled, then looked at Zheng Jiaqu, who was obviously drinking a little too much and was drinking sober soup, nodding in a clear way, "I'm afraid, I don't know if my second brother-in-law will blame his second sister when he returns."
Who told you this? Chen Qi looked at Chen Jin and found that she was serious, and she felt like she was chatting with people, but she found that the topic was not on the same page...
"Who told you this?" Chen Qi sneered, "Chen Zi's temper is not going to suffer. If you really make a fuss, I'm afraid the eldest son of the Zheng family is not Chen Zi's opponent."
"Ah?" Chen Jin turned his head and looked at Chen Qi.
What Chen Qi wanted to say was that Chen Zi was crying and making a fuss and was unwilling to marry Uncle Yongning. In the end, Concubine Xu pushed Chen Jin out. Today, they would really regret it when they saw Uncle Yongning. But looking at Chen Jin's appearance, they didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so they said, "It's nothing."
Chen Jin nodded, lowered his eyes slightly and smiled with a naive look on his face. Then he looked at Zheng Jiaqu and said, "Second brother-in-law, I heard from my second sister that you are very literary, especially if you wrote a book called "Ode to Flowers". The prince also specially bought it for collection."
As soon as these words were said, not only Chen Qi, but also Prince Yongle Hou and the two legitimate sons of the Shen family, looked a little strange. After looking at Chen Jin, his eyes fell on Zheng Jiaqu. Zheng Jiaqu's hand holding the cup was about to burst out blue veins, but seeing that Chen Jin's expression was innocent and simple, all fell on Chen Zi in one breath. The ignorant woman actually showed off such a thing, which was not embarrassing.
Chen Jin was still ignorant and was a little slow and didn't feel the strange atmosphere in the room. He just smiled and said, "I wonder how many books can my second brother-in-law give me?"
Princess Rui gently touched King Rui. King Rui coughed and saw Chen Jin looking over, then explained to Chen Jin, "Don't mention "Ode to Flowers" in the future. The palace ordered to scold your second brother-in-law."
"Ah?" Chen Jin looked confused, "Why? Didn't it say it was widely sung?"
"It's not a good place, of course no one will care about it." King Rui said inadvertently.
Chen Jin didn't understand even more. He looked at King Rui and looked at Zheng Jiaqu again. It took him a long time to say, "Oh..."
Zheng Jiaqu was about to stand up and say goodbye when he saw Chen Jin say again, "Second brother-in-law, it's really a pity. I heard that the rhetoric is extremely gorgeous..." She didn't say that she heard anyone, but with the previous words, it was easy for people to associate it with Chen Zi. After saying that, she sighed, "But why were she scolded?"
Chu Xiuming also looked at King Rui, but Prince Yongle Hou said in a low voice, "Third brother-in-law, it's better not to ask too much. The second brother-in-law's poem about flowers is not the real flowers, and the place where the singing is naturally not serious."
Chen Qi also said, "The third sister just returned to Beijing, so naturally I don't know these things. Don't be accustomed to the second brother-in-law."
Zheng Jiaqu looked at Chen Jin's appearance and felt that she was really no wonder, so he had to grit his teeth and nod.
Chen Jin felt something was wrong this time, his face turned pale, he looked at King Rui in a little panic, then looked at Chu Xiuming, and finally looked at Zheng Jiaqu, stood up and bowed Xing, and said with apologies in his eyes, "Second brother-in-law, I really don't know. If you offend me, please don't be surprised."
"It has nothing to do with you." Zheng Jiaqu looked at Chen Jin's expression like a panicked deer, and his heart softened, and even his eyes softened a lot. "I think it's just that the third sister likes poetry. I have collected a lot of good ones. I will give them to my third sister for appreciation."
Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then I'll bother my second brother-in-law."
Chen Jin stopped talking and hugged beside Chen Qi, like a little quail that had just emerged from the shell.
