From then on, Chu Jingwu became more distant from his brother.
Hu Hanlin beside Chu Jingxing frowned: "The young prince really doesn't know how to judge people."
Chu Jingxing himself didn't take it seriously. He didn't like his younger brother in the first place.
His mother had always been on his side, but his father was very kind to Chu Jingwu because he had grown up with Shen Chen. He said that Chu Jingwu was like him and was a loyal child.
If you hear these words for a long time, they will gradually become a thorn in your heart.
Chu Jingwu's disrespect and alienation towards him was like a hammer, slowly driving the thorn deeper.
Seeing that he didn't care, Hu Hanlin smiled again: "Your Highness is not surprised by praise or criticism, which is a good thing."
Chu Jingxing smiled. He had not originally thought of doing anything in front of his father. After Prince Linjiang's sister died, he looked at Shen Chen like the ball of his eye. Being scolded because of Shen Chen was nothing to be wronged about. If anyone really dared to complain about being wronged, then he would be really looking for trouble.
But he was unhappy, so of course he couldn't just let it go.
But I can still complain to my mother.
He paused, then gave the order: "Have someone keep a close eye on Wei Qi."
Many of Shen Chen's words were not entirely true. He said he was cooperating with the Wei family, but he clearly had more dealings with Wei Qi. And King Zheng only gave face to Shen Chen.
No matter what, he always felt that something was wrong.
Hu Hanlin agreed and immediately asked someone to do it.
Wei An didn't have the time to care about the Linjiang Palace. In her opinion, the most important thing now was the Peng family.
The Peng family is a family that will not give up unless there is something precious. To say that they are so attentive and warm to the Wei family without any purpose would be like red rain from the sky. How can anyone believe it
We have to ask someone to find out.
However, although Tan Xi and He Sheng thought of many ways and became more familiar with Peng Caiying, they were unable to find out anything.
This is a bit strange.
Wei An tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and after a long while he finally laughed: "This is interesting."
The more she couldn't find out, the more she wanted to find out. She thought of Peng Si Niang's engagement this time, and her eyes curved. She told Lan He: "Just wear the light purple snow mist gauze with the swastika pattern that never ends."
The fox will always show its tail. If they want something, they will slowly stick their heads out.
What she lacks the least is patience.
Life in the previous life was so difficult but I managed to get through it step by step, so what about now
Even if her family was destroyed again, she still had a way to wipe out the Peng family. If the Peng family still wanted to take advantage of her, then it would be really...
Even though she had wiped out the entire Peng family in her previous life, she was still furious.
She still had mixed feelings about Princess Changning because of the old princess, but towards the Peng family, apart from deep hatred, she really didn't have even a trace of sympathy left, so there was no reason to hesitate.
Lan He responded crisply, carefully took out the clothes for her, fumigated them, hung them on the hanger, then helped her change her clothes and went to the front to pay her respects to Old Madam Wei.
When Mrs. Wei saw her coming, she was filled with joy. She stopped her from bowing and smiled at her gently: "We have guests coming today, so why not let your third aunt host a banquet."
Soon Wei An saw the guest.
Prince Zheng came here because of Li Gui Niang's incident.
The incident involving Li Gui Niang really made the Emperor and Empress feel a little embarrassed, but fortunately Wei An was smart and saved their face, but they still had to do their best to make up for what needed to be done.
So she asked Prince Zheng to come to the palace and tried to persuade him not to think too much. Then she sighed and said, "Your brother is doing this for your own good. Could it be that he really wants to give you an adopted son? How old are you? Are you afraid that you can't give birth to a biological son? Sons are naturally better if they are your own. After much consideration, he gave you a daughter. It's a pity that Gui Niang is so talkative..."
Prince Zheng said as usual: "I don't want a son. The Queen's sister-in-law is right. Can it be that I can't give birth to a son? I find it troublesome to raise a little girl. How can I raise a son for someone else?"
Queen Fang was about to give birth, and he didn't say a word that was unpleasant to her. He just went out of his way to make her happy.
Queen Fang became happy, and smiled again, "The girl from the Wei family is a good one. You should spend more time with her recently, so that people outside can see your kindness. In this way, the marriage plan can be discussed."
King Zheng seemed to be relieved, and agreed without saying a word, patting his chest.
Since Queen Fang took the initiative to speak, he naturally wanted to see Wei An, so he came the next day and brought many gifts.
As soon as it was opened, the room was filled with golden light. The third lady almost couldn't open her eyes when she entered the room.
Fortunately, Prince Zheng knew how to behave. He not only had Wei An, but also the second and third wives. He even took care of the fifth wife's concubine.
The third lady saw this and felt even more sad.
If my daughter had not been so foolish, life would have been so much easier now. With a younger sister who is the daughter of King Zheng, not only would the dowry be much greater in the future, but it would also not be impossible for her to marry up.
But she was short-sighted and did such a thing.
She sighed, but didn't dare to show a sad expression on her face. She calmed down and happily went to order the menu for tonight. Of course, she loved her daughter, but her daughter made such a big mistake, and the Wei family did not deal with her casually. They planned to wait until the storm passed and find a family far away for her.
This is already an extraordinary favor.
Besides, she already has sons, and now... at this age, she is pregnant with another child, so she naturally has to make plans for the remaining children.
King Zheng felt extremely regretful that he could not be reunited with Wei An during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
This time he tried hard to make up for it. He asked Nanny Wang for a long time, but Nanny Wang couldn't tell what Wei An liked. Wei An would just use whatever he was given and he was never picky.
Since he couldn't get the answer from Nanny Wang, Prince Zheng guessed what the girls would like and tried to prepare a copy of everything.
She has everything, including pollen rouge, satin jewelry, and crystal gauze that is worth a fortune. She just hopes Wei An will be happy if he sees them.
Wei An was indeed happy, holding the things with his eyes curved in a smile.
He felt bitter and astringent in his heart, but he also laughed and told another funny story: "I sent back the apology gift sent by Princess Changying's mansion as usual. Since Sixth Sister said that the child was ignorant, I also agreed with her and said that Li Gui Niang was indeed ignorant. I guess she was very angry this time."
I have always cared about face since I was young, but this time I lost such a big person.
However, King Zheng felt that it was too easy for them to just embarrass themselves. They were really capable of making things difficult for a child and saying such harsh words.
