Wei An knew that this was something Shen Chen had prepared long ago, so he accepted the gift and raised it to him with a smile: "I'd be very grateful if you don't give it up. Thank you."
Shen Chen didn't need her to thank him. He breathed a sigh of relief, sent her downstairs and got her into the carriage, then went upstairs again.
This time we went not to the top floor, but to the private room on the third floor.
Chu Jingxing had already been sitting there, with a few exquisite snacks and fruits in front of him, as well as a plate of purple grapes in a glass cup. He did not move at all, just playing chess by himself. When he heard some noise, he raised his head and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Shen Chen walked over step by step, sat down opposite him, frowned and wanted to say something, but finally held back and said, "This is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one."
Even if Li Gui Niang was warded off this time, there might still be Xianrong County Lady and other girls from noble families. How could they be rejected
Moreover, Chu Jingxing did not discuss this with anyone this time before he came up with this idea and even asked someone to instigate Li Gui Niang, which was really risky.
What if Li Gui Niang was smarter
If they follow the gossipers and find out what they have found, wouldn't the Linjiang Palace have a harder time? It's already like walking on a tightrope.
Chu Jingxing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and finally dropped the chess piece in his hand. He leaned back comfortably on the recliner and looked at him: "Are you scared?"
I'm not afraid. What is there to be afraid of
Shen Chen felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, but he still had to say what he should say: "Brother, don't use people like this anymore. Wei Qi is a powerful person."
She is also a person who repays kindness and takes revenge. If Chu Jingxing uses her this time, she might let it go, but if it happens a second time, that might not be the case.
Chu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and nodded nonchalantly: "I understand."
After a pause, he continued, "Even if I want to marry a princess's decoration, I will not choose Li Gui Niang among the girls in my aunts' families. I did use Wei Qi this time, but I used her because I knew she was powerful. I will thank her later."
Li Gui Niang is a very hot-tempered girl, as proud as a phoenix that refuses to bow its head, yet she listens to her mother and brothers very much. How can you marry such a girl
Even if I marry her as my principal wife, I still won't feel at ease even if I provide for her.
But he couldn't go to Emperor Longqing and tell him directly, so naturally he had to do some tricks behind his back. Although it was indeed a bit risky, he had done it and it was going smoothly now. In his opinion, there was no need to mention it again.
Being able to give Shen Chen an explanation this time is also giving him face.
Shen Chen said no more.
He didn't say much, but Chu Jingxing's people around him naturally talked a lot. Naturally, there were also teachers who taught the princes of the vassal states. He studied with Xia Song at the beginning, and later he was taught by the Hanlin Academy's former students when the Prince of Linjiang was enfeoffed.
He was a Hanlin named Hu. He had no one to command him at the time, so he was assigned to the prince by the previous emperor and followed the prince to take up the post.
After so many years, he gradually became the confidant of King Linjiang.
The Crown Prince would naturally be a vassal king in the future, and he was very devoted to Chu Jingxing.
After hearing that Shen Chen had no resentment, he still frowned: "Your Highness should be more cautious. No matter how good the prince is, he will grow up. Once people grow up, they will always have their own thoughts. Now the title of Pingxi Marquis has been taken back but not given up. He is now a member of the Linjiang Palace. Won't he still get a share in the future? Besides... ... You have a bad relationship with the little prince, and he has his reasons for it."
These words hurt my heart.
There are more or less reasons, but no one tells me how many reasons there are.
Chu Jingxing pondered these words in his heart but showed nothing on his face. He just nodded without comment.
However, Chu Jingwu took the opportunity to come to him and make a scene, saying that he was too dishonest in doing things and was hiding behind and instructing the girls to fight.
Chu Jingwu has always been at odds with his elder brother, but he used to respect his elder brother for his calmness. But now that he learned about Li Gui Niang's affairs, he became unhappy.
He also has a friendship with Wei An. Wei An is a person who, if you treat her well, will naturally treat you well too.
But my brother is trying to take advantage of his own ally. How can this be considered a good way to lead subordinates
He couldn't stand it and refused to listen to Shen Chen's advice.
Chu Jingxing looked out the window, not bothered by his anger at all. Instead, he asked, "Did Achen tell you?"
"Why do I need you to tell me, brother?" Chu Jingwu sneered, "I'm not a fool. I'll figure it out after thinking about it. After all, you, brother, have always hated cockfighting and running around, but you insisted on letting me open a betting position that day. It was obvious that you just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble..."
Chu Jingxing smiled with an ambiguous meaning: "Then you have really improved. You can even see this."
Chu Jingwu disliked his slippery nature even more, knowing that he would not move, he went back to the backyard and told his father.
When King Linjiang found out, he was shocked and then angry.
Of course my son cannot marry Li Gui Niang, this is a big deal.
Although he pretended to submit a memorial, he was actually trying to delay the process and come up with a plan.
But you can't marry her, and you can't do this.
If there is any trace of this at that time, it will be seen by Emperor Longqing, and it will be a great taboo. Now the King of Chu has been killed, if he runs into the gun at this time, no one in the family will survive!
He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his tone was not very good when he scolded his eldest son: "Will your father watch you marry someone like this? Use your brain!"
How many people are eyeing the Wei family
It's really stupid to rely on the Wei family to get things done now!
Moreover, he was too impatient. Nothing had been decided yet, and the higher-ups hadn't even given a list, yet such a thing happened in a hurry. Given Emperor Longqing's suspicious nature, he would have to think about it carefully.
Maybe this thing that was originally impossible will become possible.
This son has always been patient, and he thought he could hold it in, but he didn't expect him to be so impetuous. How can he achieve great things in the future like this
King Linjiang became more and more angry.
Chu Jingxing's face was calm, without even a hint of anger on his face.
He was seldom scolded. He was the first son, and King Linjiang had always treated him differently. Even if he really made a mistake, King Linjiang would always teach him in detail behind others' backs and had never been so impatient.
This time he received such a severe scolding. Although people outside could not hear it clearly, his father's staff and Chu Jingan, who was waiting for a reply, were there. By the evening, the scolding had spread to the backyard.
