The censor who had come out to submit a memorial saying that it was against the ancestral system for the princes to stay in Beijing was a subordinate of Prince Duan. However, when the matter came to a head, this censor suddenly implicated him in the Dali Temple.
If he hadn't been sharp-eyed and had not had spies in the Dali Temple, he would have really been caught in it this time.
Even when there is nothing to do, Emperor Longqing is eager to find something to torment him and make trouble for him. If this matter is really reported as an important matter, then the Emperor Longqing will take advantage of the situation to deal with him. What other way out does he have except to fight
Since no one lets him live a peaceful life, he won't let others live an easy life either.
When the previous emperor was alive, these brothers had no feelings for each other and were fighting like chickens for the throne. Now, during the reign of Emperor Longqing, they are even more active and are secretly trying to trip up each other.
Despite all the things the King of Chu did, the King of Linjiang did not call him despicable. This was because he understood that these people were always fighting and none of them was easy to deal with. In the final analysis, it was just a matter of success or failure.
The King of Chu's methods were particularly cruel, truly despicable and extremely despicable.
Chu Jingxing came to his senses and turned around to tell Chang Sui: "You don't have to do what I told you to do before."
Chang Sui didn't quite understand, and his eyes widened as he hurriedly asked, "Is it because I didn't do my job well?"
Chu Jingxing asked him to do something about the farm that Chu Jingan was in charge of. He was not dragging his feet, but he just couldn't find a chance to do it recently...
Chu Jingxing glanced at him, writing quickly, and shook his head calmly: "It's none of your business, but you don't have to do it anymore. No matter how big the matter is, stop it."
I'm afraid my father is about to take action.
I'd rather have some free time recently.
He thought for a while and then laughed again: "Prepare a horse for me, and we will go to Tongzhou for a walk tomorrow."
This has always been a place that Shen Chen and his friends went to. Chu Jingxing never went with them. Recently, Yuan Hongwen hosted a banquet at the farm, saying that he invited Shen Chen and his friends to go hunting for game. It didn't matter what kind of game they hunted, and they would have a barbecue feast at the farm.
Lian Xianrong County Lady and her family also invited a group of sisters to go. All of them were daughters of royal family, either cousins or younger cousins, so there were not so many taboos among relatives.
Chang Sui was a little stunned. It took him a moment to react. He quickly replied "yes" and went to prepare.
The next day, Chu Jingxing went to Tongzhou as expected.
Yuan Hongwen's manor was the dowry manor of Princess Chang'an. It was not big, but it was very exquisitely built. There were four courtyards, and you could smell the rich fragrance of osmanthus before you even entered the door. When Chu Jingxing arrived, Yuan Hongwen and his friends had already left. Only the Fairy Princess got off the carriage. She smiled when she saw him, "Why are you here, cousin Jingxing?"
It was such a pleasant surprise to meet Chu Jingxing.
She knew that this cousin never liked these kinds of toys. Seeing him at this moment, his smile became brighter, and he said to him with curved eyebrows, "My brother and his friends came yesterday, and cousin Jingwu, I'm afraid he has gone out today."
Chu Jingxing became estranged from Chu Jingwu because of Shen Chen, so she never mentioned this person in front of Chu Jingxing.
After she said a few words, her body and the ground were covered with sweet osmanthus flowers. Chu Jingxing reached out and brushed them away. He followed her into the corridor and smiled, "In that case, why not just wait and pick up some ready-made food to eat, and save the trouble of running all the way."
He said he was not good at riding and shooting, but Xianrong County Lady shook her head: "I remember when you were a child, you could shoot a turtledove with one arrow!"
That was when he was a child, when the late emperor was still alive and he was the grandson of the emperor. Life was much easier than it is now, and it was a time when he had nothing to worry about, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted.
He smiled and shook his head: "How can it be compared with when we were kids? We are all unfamiliar now."
Chu Jingxing has a good appearance, but he is different from Chu Jingwu. Chu Jingwu always has a stern face at a young age, but Chu Jingxing is very gentle. His smile is like a spring breeze, and his eyes are full of smiles, making him very amiable.
The smile on Lady Xianrong's face deepened. She wanted to say a few more words, but someone outside started shouting that Li Gui Niang had arrived at the door.
A trace of discomfort flashed across Xianrong County Lady's eyes, but she immediately regained her smile: "This girl, after staying in her room for so many days, finally decided to go out."
As soon as she said this, everyone remembered why Li Gui Niang had stayed at home without moving, and Chu Jingxing frowned.
The brows of Xianrong County Lady became more relaxed. When Li Gui Niang came to her, she asked them what they were laughing at, and took her hand with a smile: "We are talking about the interesting things next door."
Li Gui Niang glanced at the silent Chu Jing Xing calmly and asked her, "What's interesting?"
Xianrong County Lady pursed her lips and seemed to be hesitant about whether to say it. After being urged several times, she said hesitantly: "It's not a big deal. Wei An came to Tongzhou to visit the manor."
Li Gui Niang's face suddenly turned gloomy.
The imperial edict that had been delayed for a long time finally came down, officially conferring the title of Princess to Wei An. This matter had spread to the world. Everyone knew that Wei An had catered to the emperor and empress's preferences, so they only spoke good things about her.
But this was particularly bad for Li Gui Niang.
She lowered her head and grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, almost making a big hole in it. After a while, she sneered.
In front of Chu Jingxing, she was unable to raise her spirits. She only felt embarrassed. It was not until Chu Jingxing went outside and they entered the inner courtyard that she stopped and looked at the Fairy Princess, and uttered a foul breath viciously: "I will kill her!"
She said this with gritted teeth without any hesitation. Princess Xianrong seemed to be startled. She stood up immediately, raised her eyebrows and scolded her in a low voice: "Are you crazy?! How dare you say such crazy things?! You are of the same status now. Logically, she is a princess born to a prince, and is more noble than you, a princess born to a princess. Don't be confused!"
Li Gui Niang was furious and strangled her throat with the words "more noble than you", making her unable to breathe. Moreover, she clearly saw Chu Jingxing frowning just now.
Ever since she met Wei An, nothing good has happened to her. She really hated this man so much that she not only wanted to kill her, she wanted to kill her ten times.
The more Lady Xianrong tried to persuade her, the more her anger boiled over, and in the end she could no longer hold it back.
She shook off Xianrong County Lady's hand, bit her lip and looked at her: "She was just born by a young woman, and you actually lowered your status and think we can't compare to her?! Who the hell is she?!"
