Chapter 45
Because Chen Zi did a foolish thing, although Princess Rui made an excuse to make her come back, everyone knew what was going on, so they didn't spend dinner at Princes Rui's mansion. They just talked with Princess Rui and went home alone. Chen Zi was also called back by Princess Rui. She had already dressed up again. The bright red gauze skirt was embroidered with a large peony, which made her look outstanding. I don't know if she was really worried that Chen Zi, the sister, had other thoughts, had come out to see her off.
Chen Zi knew that his behavior at noon had made Zheng Jiaqu lose face. At this time, she was particularly considerate. She was already beautiful and had just married Zheng Jiaqu for less than a year. After this, Zheng Jiaqu's anger slightly diminished and his face was not so ugly.
However, when King Rui saw these three daughters, he was still angry and showed some expressions. Princess Rui was still kind and gentle as usual. After a few words, he asked someone to give the prepared things to his three daughters and son-in-law, and said, "Today is the first time that the girl Jin has returned home after she got married. I am a little more partial. You are not allowed to be jealous."
Chen Zi was still pleased Zheng Jiaqu. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, Chen Qi smiled and said, "If my mother is not there, it's okay to have more sisters with her."
Chen Jin stood beside Chu Xiuming and smiled and said, "Big sister, don't be jealous."
"Bad girl." Chen Qi smiled happily, and there was no clear sorrow in his eyes. Chen Jin was much more difficult than himself, but he lived so well. Her sister could not be as good as her sister. She just smiled, "I remember to bring my brother-in-law to my house tomorrow."
Prince Yongle was not confused about major events. He heard this and said, "I prepared good wine at home and waited for my brother-in-law to get drunk before I could stop."
Chu Xiuming's lips curled slightly, fading away the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes, making him look even more gentle and independent. "Okay." His voice was even more nice, slightly low and a seductive feeling. Chen Zi only felt that the little hook raised her heart, and couldn't help but look at it secretly, biting her lip and feeling indescribable loss in her heart.
Chen Jing didn't care about shyness, her fingers stirred the embroidered handkerchief, and her eyes flashed. Unexpectedly, Yongning Bo was not only good-looking, but also a good man who stood up to the top and guarded the frontier for the country. After thinking about this, I felt more and more touched. Compared with Yongning Bo, even Prince Yongle Hou had less momentum, and the eldest son of the Zheng family had less grace.
Chen Xi also said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go too."
"Okay." Prince Yongle Hou agreed immediately, then looked at Chen Xuan and asked, "Classic, can you go together?"
Chen Xuan also responded. Although Prince Yongle looked down on Chen Zi a little, he knew the Zheng family's status in the clear stream. He looked at Zheng Jiaqu and asked, "Where is the second brother-in-law?"
Zheng Jiaqu's face improved a lot at this time, "How dare you refuse if your brother-in-law invites you?"
Several people laughed, and King Rui felt more comfortable when he saw this. Although the three daughters did something wrong today, it didn’t affect anything. He smiled and said, “You little ones should be close to each other. The princess brought my jar of apricot blossom wine and gave it to Yuhong for them to drink tomorrow.”
"The father is so generous, where is that daughter?" Chen Qi looked at King Rui and said coquettishly, "You can't just give it to the three sons-in-law."
When King Rui saw this, he still felt that the eldest daughter raised by the princess was dignified and generous, and the third daughter was also pretty and sensible. Concubine Xu was so kind that she was slim and said, "Of course, she also brought the honey wine to Qi'er."
"Thank you, Father." Chen Qi said with a smile.
Princess Rui smiled and asked someone to bring the two jars of wine that King Rui said to Chen Qi, "Okay, let the children go. It's not convenient to wait until it's late."
"What the princess said," said King Rui smiled.
He said quietly and softly, "Father, Mother, Daughter, I'll send you a few sisters and brother-in-laws."
Seeing this, King Rui thought she regretted the misconduct at noon. Now that she came to make up for it, she nodded and said, "Go."
Princess Rui's eyes flashed and her giggled even more gently.
After saluting King Rui and Princess Rui, several people walked towards the carriage together. Chen Jing and Shen Rong were walking behind everyone. Chen Jin was talking to Shen Qi, and he was talking about the dishes to eat tomorrow without hesitation. Chen Qi responded one by one. Chu Xiuming touched Chen Jin's hand without any trace, stopped and looked at An Ning, saying, "Cloak."
"Yes." An Ning, who had been serving behind, quickly took the cloak and handed it to Chu Xiuming in both hands. Chu Xiuming took it and put it on Chen Jin with his own hands, with gentleness and pampering eyes.
Chen Jin smiled, and the dimples on his almond eyes were also revealed, "I don't feel cold."
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, and his fair and slender fingers cleverly tied the cloak. Then he looked at the person who stopped and waited for them and said as if nothing had happened. "I still have the spirits brought by the border town. I will come tomorrow to let my eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law try it."
"Of course." Prince Yongle Hou didn't expect Chu Xiuming to love his wife so much, but he didn't say anything, after all, it was someone else's business.
Zheng Jiaqu sighed, "The third brother-in-law and the third sister are really in love with each other." However, such a pure and cute woman is worthy of being held in the palm of her hand.
Chen Zi held the handkerchief tightly, a trace of viciousness and grudge flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her head and felt full of hatred. The more excellent Chu Xiuming was, the better Chen Zi was, the more unwilling Chen Zi was. These should be his, but Chen Jin snatched them away with a trick. Maybe she was plotted by Chen Jin, and Princess Rui... Such rumors, she raised her eyes slightly and looked at Chu Xiuming, such a ridiculous rumors...
Chen Jing's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but use force when holding Chen Rong's hand, which made Chen Rong look over with surprise with a light cry. She saw Chen Jing secretly staring at Chu Xiuming's back. Thoughts flashed through her mind, but she felt ridiculous. However... she looked at Chen Jing with some helplessness and called softly, "Fourth Sister?"
This sound awakened the quietness. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were moistered, and her little daughter's shyness said, "Big sister, I wonder if my fifth sister and I can go to your mansion to disturb you tomorrow?"
Chen Qi looked at Chen Jing, smiled on his face and said, "Of course."
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes before saying, "Then we will go together tomorrow."
"Thank you, sister." said in a gentle voice.
Chen Qi stopped looking at Chen Jing and Shen Rong, but only looked at Chen Jin, and then said to Chu Xiuming, "Three brother-in-law, don't let your sister use the food outside in the future."
Chen Jin stared at Chen Qi with disbelief. Unexpectedly, the elder sister would tell Chu Xiuming directly. In fact, Chen Qi had just seen Chu Xiuming put Chen Jin in a cloak. She naturally discovered Chu Xiuming cared for Chen Jin. Thinking of what her mother said to be friends with Yongning Bo, she took a different approach to start with Chen Jin. Chen Jin stomped his feet with flushed cheeks and said, "Big sister, don't say it."
It was obvious that he wanted to make an angry expression, but he only felt like coquettishness, and there was no threat at all. Chen Qi stretched out his finger and tapped her forehead, but he didn't say anything else. Sometimes it was enough to stop at the right time. When some words came back, Chu Xiuming would naturally ask Chen Jin. As for whether he could ask? Chen Qi didn't think that Chen Jin could beat Chu Xiuming.
"Okay." Chu Xiuming glanced at Chen Jin and responded with a smile.
Chen Qi smiled and said nothing. After the few people said goodbye again, they got on the carriage. Instead, they quietly took Chen Rong's hand and looked at Chu Xiuming, and said shyly and nervously, "Third brother-in-law, I wonder if my sister is honored to visit Yongning Boss Mansion?"
Chen Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Jing. Chen Rong was so embarrassed that she was almost unable to raise her head. Chu Xiuming was holding Chen Jin in the carriage and said, "The wife is the one who decides the matter at home."
Chen Qi also heard Chen Jing's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, Chen Jing lowered his head, revealing a piece of smooth neck, which was covered with a little bit of shame and said in a low voice, "Three sister, I haven't been to Yongning Bo Mansion yet, can I be a guest someday?"
"It's not very convenient." Chen Jin was a little embarrassed and said honestly, "I have driven away all the servants in the mansion, and many yards have been sealed off. You have no place to play even if you go."
Chen Jing's face changed, and when she looked up again, she was already excited, "I know that before the third sister got married, she had some disagreement with my mother. I just wanted to get close to the third sister. The third sister... After all, we are all the daughters of our father, and the father also wants to see us fall in love with each other."
Chen Jin looked confused, and felt confused for no reason. When he moved his lips, he said with grievance, "I am not familiar with Concubine Xu, where is there any discord?"
Chu Xiuming gently held Chen Jin's hand and helped her down so that he would not stop stuttering on the air for a while. "Tell me well, there is no need to worry."
"Yeah." Chen Jin saw Chu Xiuming there and realized that he had a backer. He looked at Chen Jing and bulged his cheeks and said, "I was raised by my mother when I was a child, and when I was older, I was raised by my mother's side. Concubine Xu was weak and didn't come to the mother's courtyard. I haven't seen her much before. Fourth sister, have you misunderstood something?"
Zheng Jiaqu looked at Chen Jin's appearance and looked down at Chen Zi again. Finally, his eyes fell on Shen Jing. He felt that Chen Jing was too frivolous in speaking. However, Concubine Xu was just like this. She was still weak when she didn't go to ask her husband every day. She had heard that Concubine Xu was arrogant and domineering because of King Rui's favor, and it seemed that it was not groundless.
Chen Qi also opened the car window and said, "Fourth Sister, what are your third sisters saying? It makes you so sad?"
When everyone heard this, they knew it. They knew about the Yongning Bo Mansion. Although they thought Chen Jin had done too much at that time and were probably a little arrogant and willful, they now felt that there must be some misunderstandings. Chen Jing looked good, but although he could not compare with Chen Qi, he was also beautiful and beautiful. Moreover, he followed the Shen family's phoenix eyes and was very popular in daily life. At this time, Chen Jin's almonds were really not as good as Chen Jin's. Chen Jin's almonds were moist and lively. They were particularly pleasing when they smiled, and when they didn't smile, they also made people feel extremely cute. At this time, they looked a little aggrieved, and they looked even more pitiful.
Chen Jin pursed her pink lips and said as if she was a little sad, "I just returned to Beijing and the mansion has not been cleaned yet. I will ask my sisters to come and have a chat after I have packed it up." As he said that, he lowered his head and stood beside Chu Xiuming.
Zheng Jiaqu was the one who was most pitying for the weak, and Chen Jin's facial features also grew a lot on the border. Although they were not as gorgeous as Chen Zi, they were particularly pretty, like a white lotus blooming in a jade pot, weak but noble. At this time, he said, "Why is the fourth sister so aggressive?"
Prince Yongle Hou Heng calculated in his heart and did not speak, but looked at Chen Qi. Chen Qi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I'm afraid the fourth sister has not yet woken up."
Chen Zi's face changed. If this was spread, it would not be a good reputation for Chen Jing. He just said, "The fourth sister is young and hasn't seen the third sister for a long time. I want to get closer to her. The third sister is an older sister. What do you think of the third sister?"
This problem was left to Chen Jin. If Chen Jin still blamed him, he would inevitably seem to be calculating with his sister, holding a grudge. If he didn't care, he offended the person who was just helping him. Before Chen Jin could speak, Chu Xiuming said, "I think the fourth sister can say such words today because she has a lot of rift with her wife. As a sister, she should give in to her sister."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jing was happy in her heart. The look at Chu Xiuming showed a little more indescribable friendship. Although she and Chen Jin were both the daughters of King Rui, Chen Jin could not compare to him when she was young. If it weren't for the protection of Princess Rui, Chen Jin would not know where Chen Jin had been forgotten by King Rui, and there would be no less contributions to their mother and daughter.
Chen Qi's eyes flashed and looked at Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming's expression remained unchanged. Chen Jin trusted his husband very much and said, "Okay." There was nothing tolerant.
Zheng Jiaqu only felt a little moved in his heart. Such a innocent and kind girl wanted to speak but found that her hand was pinched hard by Chen Zi. When she was annoyed, she felt that Prince Rui's Mansion had developed such innocent temperament as Chen Jin. I really didn't know whether it was good or bad. However, seeing Chen Jin relying entirely on Chu Xiuming, I felt a little envious.
"Thank you brother-in-law." said calmly and delicately.
Chu Xiuming continued, "In the future, if there are four sisters outside, please forgive me for not getting involved with my wife, just in my father-in-law's house..." As he said that, he looked at Chen Xuan with a little apology, "I would also like to ask the fourth sister to avoid it, or I will avoid it with my wife, and it is definitely different from the same room."
As soon as these words were said, Chen Jing's face turned pale. Even Chen Qi looked at Chu Xiuming in surprise. This was just a face that he was slapped with Chen Jing and told everyone clearly that he hated Chen Jing in the mansion. A couple who held military power, and a girl born to a concubine who was not married. She was just a princess after she died. Everyone knew what was more important. In this case, no one would invite Chen Jing to the door again.
Not only that, even those who do not value Chu Xiuming will never ask Chen Jing again, because Chen Jin has a good reputation... What good reputation can Chen Jing have if she is said in public by Yongning Bo.
Chen Jin was unaware of anything, but continued to nod and said, "I understand. I listen to my husband. Which family will the fourth sister go to in the future? I would like to ask my elder brother and second brother to send me a message." Then he looked at Chen Jing, sighed and looked regretful, "We are sisters, and I couldn't imagine that you are tired of me so far. I am my sister always wants to give in to you." After saying that, he was a little disappointed and a little sad, "Husband, let's go home."
"Yeah." Chu Xiuming held Chen Jin's hand and let her get into the car. He never looked at Chen Jin and the others again. Although An Ning and An Ping had no expressions on their faces, there was a little bit of badness in their eyes. They just felt that Chen Jing was particularly annoying. There was also the concubine Xu who had not met. She thought that the wife was living such a life in the mansion, and she felt particularly distressed.
Zheng Jiaqu shook his head and looked at Chen Jing. He thought she was too domineering. Although she was different from her mother, she was also her sister. She gave her ugly face in front of everyone because of a little bit of trouble. She didn't know how to treat her in private, and she no longer cared about Chen Zi and advised, "Fourth sister, it's better to be honest and virtuous at the girl's family. Don't pay attention to the speed of talking." If it weren't for the mother of Shen Jing and Chen Zi, they wouldn't even say this to her. They consciously fulfilled their brother-in-law's responsibilities, so they wouldn't say more and get on the carriage first.
Chen Zi felt dizzy and his husband urged him to leave first. However, Chen Qi said, "Since that's the case, my house will not welcome the fourth sister tomorrow. We have to bother the two younger brothers and fathers and mothers to explain."
"Don't worry, sister." Chen Xuan and Shen Xi responded, and almost fainted from the silence without even looking at it.
Prince Yongle Hou had never ridden a horse and said hello after drinking, then got on the carriage and sighed, "I never thought that Concubine Xu and his daughter were so arrogant."
Seeing that Prince Yongle Hou did not realize that the hardships were not enough to bear, the mother and daughter of Xu, Chen Qi felt a little enlightened. He sighed after hearing this, "They have always been like this, even my mother..." He shook his head as he said that.
Prince Yongle Hou narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do I see how much hatred my second sister is towards my third sister?" He noticed Chen Zi's eyes.
Chen Qi was stunned for a moment and pretended not to explain, "No, no matter what the mansion is, she will suppress the third sister, even the fourth sister and the fifth sister... How could my husband feel so?"
Prince Yongle Hou frowned. Chen Qi knew that Concubine Xu was unwilling to let her daughter marry Yongning Bo, and finally pushed Chen Zi out and could not hide the information from anyone who knew about it. After all, the days of engagement were all there. She seemed to have thought for a while before saying, "It may be... but it's not right, it's obviously the second sister who doesn't want to."
“恩?”永乐候世子看向妻子.
Chen Qi hesitated and said, "When the emperor and uncle wanted to marry Uncle Yongning and let the father choose a daughter to marry him. In fact, it was the second sister who should be the second sister because of... so unwillingness. In the end, the second sister signed up for the Zheng family and the third sister married to the border town. So I felt that my husband was strange. If it really happened, it should be that the third sister had resentment in her heart."
Prince Yongle Hou sneered, and he already understood in his heart that Yongle Hou's reputation was too bad at the beginning. It was because Chen Zi was unwilling to marry, and Concubine Xu was favored by King Rui, so he stayed in the capital to marry the eldest son of the Zheng family, and Chen Jin married. Who would have thought that when he saw him today, he realized that this was not the case. Chen Zi couldn't help but regret and a little unhappy, "It's really..." Thinking of the fact that it was Chen Qi's sister, he didn't say anything, and thinking of Chen Jin's hardship at such a young age, he couldn't help but feel pity and said, "The third sister is also pitiful."
"I have been having a good relationship with my third sister since childhood." Chen Qi said softly, "She can be considered a mistake. This time I have a good husband and I have been suffering."
Prince Yongle Hou nodded, but forgot about Chen Jin's cousin at that time, and said, "Madam, my cousin has a pitiful life experience. You are most pitying for your young age, so take care of yourself more."
Chen Qi couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart, but he said with a little aggrieved on his face, "Where are you, what good things in the mansion are all tight against my cousin? Most of the things that my mother gave me for health care are given to me." As he said that, he lowered his eyes slightly, with tears in his eyes. Sometimes it was not really weak to show weakness. She saw through it today, "Forget it, think whatever you want." As he said that, he turned his back and stopped looking, but his shoulders were trembling slightly, looking extremely pitiful.
Prince Yongle Hou had never seen his wife like this before. He felt soft-hearted and thought of the child they had lost inexplicably. He reached out to put his hand on Chen Qi's shoulder and said, "It's mine, not."
"I am jealous of my husband to my cousin, but why did I really neglect her?" Chen Qi's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and there was a little more coquettishness. "My husband and I... Now I close my eyes and I seem to see that small body is cold, but my husband still brings my cousin's belly in front of me every day... Even if I am sad and sad, can I be embarrassed by my cousin's slightest?"
"It's my fault." Prince Yongle Hou felt ache in his heart, hugged his wife with a pale face in his arms, and said, "It's me who ignored it in the past."
Chen Qi's eyes showed a little irony, but he leaned softly in the arms of Prince Yongle Hou. At the beginning, she felt sincere but could not get any pity. Now she was just pretending to behave but had such a result. Chen Qi lowered his eyes slightly and understood what to do in the future. He covered his hand on his lower abdomen. She must let those people pay for her child's blood debt. Unfortunately, she woke up too late and had no clues.
In the Zheng family's carriage, Zheng Jiaqu looked at Chen Zi and said in a deep voice, "Don't date your mother and two sisters in the future."
"What do you mean?" Chen Zi thought of Yongning Bo's every effort to protect Chen Jin, and at this time he heard Zheng Jiaqu's words, "And why did you just say that my sister?"
"Isn't the third sister your sister?" Zheng Jiaqu was also very angry, and when he thought of the poetry collection, he felt embarrassed and embarrassed, "What did I say wrong?"
"My mother is your mother-in-law, and my sister is also your sister, but you are protecting others?" Chen Zi gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Zheng Jiaqu, are you confused?"
"My mother-in-law has only one, Princess Rui." Zheng Jiaqu said coldly.
"Okay, now do you think I'm the concubine?" Chen Zi pointed at Zheng Jiaqu. Her fingers dyed with phoenix flowers were particularly delicate.
Zheng Jiaqu said with a blue face, "Where are your rules?"
Chen Zi sneered, "Look at his husband, look at you, are you still talking to me about the rules? I married into the Zheng family as a princess, and you are still treating me like this?"
"No one forced you to marry." Zheng Jiaqu also looked angry, "Why did you rush to marry? I knew in my heart that if I had known you were like this, I would rather not marry for life."
Chen Zi was anxious, angry and ashamed. She had never been worse than Chen Jin since she was a child. At this time, she was angry and reached out to hit Zheng Jiaqu. Zheng Jiaqu didn't expect Chen Zi to take action. She didn't dodge for a while. Her face was full of burning pain. When she reached out to touch her, she was caught by Chen Zi. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to look at Chen Zi. Chen Zi refused to forgive him and continued to pounce on him and grabbed him. Zheng Jiaqu held her down, "Since you look down on the Zheng family, then let's live with you. My Zheng family can't afford a cruel person like you."
