Nanny Jin knew that Princess Linjiang had misunderstood, and couldn't help but explain: "That's not the case. I heard that it was the prince who took the initiative to ask to see the prince, so the prince asked him to come over..."
She quickly brought a cup of tea to Princess Linjiang to calm her down, and gently advised her: "Your reaction is too big. We are a family, won't you arouse suspicion from outsiders if you do this?"
It is always easier said than done. Princess Linjiang gave a bitter smile and said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I am really confused." After thinking about it, she was still worried, so she asked Nanny Jin to find out why Chu Jingxing was looking for Prince Linjiang.
The father and son are like black chickens all day long, and they may quarrel even over a trivial matter.
Now their relationship is not good.
There will always be quarrels in this way, and I'm afraid that the little affection we have will be further diluted.
Who dares to ask what happens in the prince’s study
After what happened with Chu Jingxing, the people around the prince were more strict. Nanny Jin knew that Princess Linjiang wanted her to wait for Chu Jingxing and bring him here when the time came, so she responded softly and carefully helped Princess Linjiang to sleep.
Concubine Yu had not gone to bed yet.
Chu Jingan, who was originally called by King Linjiang to give instructions, came back again. She asked someone to bring some snacks to Chu Jingan, fearing that he would be hungry.
Then she asked him why he had time to come back at this time: "Didn't I tell you to go to your second brother's place to deliver something? Why are you back again?"
Chu Jingan was sitting next to his mother. When he saw strawberries were being served, he picked up the strawberries and smiled, "It's the person who sent this thing who's causing all the trouble."
As he spoke, he threw the bright red strawberries into the crystal dish and shook his neck to stretch his muscles. "Someone from the Chang'an Princess's Mansion came today to measure my brother's size. They said that the bride-to-be wanted to give a gift to our family."
Concubine Yu wore delicate tassel earrings on her ears, which made her face look even whiter and more translucent. She paused for a moment and smiled thoughtfully, "Is that so?"
As she spoke, she took a knife from the fruit basket, cut open an orange with her own hands, and handed it to her son, whispering, "It looks like they've finally made a move."
I knew that Princess Chang'an would not just watch Chu Jingxing fall.
She had already noticed it since the last time they went to Puci Temple and almost got into trouble.
Princess Chang'an loves her daughter very much, and Lady Xianrong is obviously deeply in love with Chu Jingxing.
Having followed Prince Linjiang for such a long time, and being very much liked by him, she always heard some extraordinary things over time.
For example, why was the Princess Chang'an favored by the King of Linjiang
That is, she never takes sides easily, is tactful and mature, and can even get along well with the prince consort's family.
There is nothing wrong with this, and there are several princesses with famous scholars in the palace, so how could it be simple
Chu Jingan was a little confused and couldn't swallow the orange in his hand: "Mother, why do I always feel like you are helping my eldest brother?"
Although Concubine Yu said that this would be Chu Jingxing's handle in the future, but... how long would it take
"Don't be so impatient." Concubine Yu sighed and looked at her son, feeling helpless: "You are still young, you can wait for anything. Besides, now is not the time to fight endlessly. If you really want to fight, you have to wait until there is something to fight for."
Seeing that her son still seemed confused, she patiently counseled him: "Your eldest brother is full of resentment. If you don't let him vent and treat him coldly, he might do something wrong. It's better to let the Princess' Mansion persuade him. If you really can't persuade him, then we can help him..."
It doesn't matter whether you help or not.
Not helping would mean stabilizing this fire bomb that could explode at any time.
The help would give them a permanent handle - if they killed Shen Chen, even if they were allies, to King Linjiang, they would no longer be in-laws, but enemies.
By then, Chu Jingxing himself would be finished.
This is what it means to kill people without being seen.
Chu Jingan seemed to understand, but didn't say anything more.
After all, he was still young, so Concubine Yu touched his head lovingly.
In the afternoon, I heard that Chu Jingxing went to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion with gifts.
Chu Jingxing had been under house arrest before, but now he was suddenly released from house arrest and willingly bowed to Shen Chen and King Linjiang.
The eldest princess is really good at persuading people.
Concubine Yu lowered her head and smiled.
Shen Chen couldn't laugh. Chu Jingwu was still pestering him with questions while holding the list. The two of them argued for a long time and almost got into a fight.
As soon as Chu Jingwu arrived, he heard Xuesong talk about Shen Chen helping Wei An. He felt like a thousand ants were running around in his heart, tickling him so much.
He had gone to the palace to tell Shen Chen that Wei An’s villa was on fire because he noticed that he treated Wei An a little unusually. Unexpectedly, it proved that Shen Chen treated Wei An differently.
The two were arguing fiercely when they heard that Chu Jingxing had arrived. They were both stunned.
Chu Jingwu's face turned cold: "What is he doing here?"
In comparison, Shen Chen was much calmer.
Since King Linjiang would let him out, it meant that Chu Jingxing at least didn't come here to cause trouble for him.
Probably came to apologize and make amends.
Shen Chen paused, then whispered to Xuesong to invite the person in.
The Pingxi Marquis Mansion has been renovated by the Ministry of Works, and even the columns have been repainted with gold, making it look majestic and grand. Chu Jingxing walked through the long corridor and saw Chu Jingwu and Shen Chen sitting opposite each other in the middle of the lake and drinking tea.
It was unknown what the two of them were talking about. Chu Jingwu whispered something in Shen Chen's ear with a mischievous smile on his face. Shen Chen glared at him, and then they both laughed.
This kind of tacit understanding and intimacy is something he has never experienced with his eldest brother.
It was just that it was glaring before, but now he didn’t even feel the glare and coughed with a smile on his face.
The two people in the pavilion immediately stopped fighting and ran to stand in front of him at the same time.
Just like many years ago, he was sent back to his fiefdom in a dishevel. The two well-dressed men were whispering to each other, looking at him with a smirk and aloofness.
These long-lost memories are not always so comfortable to think about, but Chu Jingxing finally let it go. He pursed his lips, looking a little embarrassed, and apologized to Shen Chen as if he was a little guilty: "I was wrong last time. It's not that Peiming and the others were blinded by lard. In the final analysis, it's my fault. I'm sorry."
Chu Jingwu stood aside, and rarely made any sarcastic remarks.
Shen Chen naturally wouldn't say anything. He reached out to help Chu Jingxing up, shaking his head and saying, "Big brother, you are too kind. No matter what, you are our big brother after all."
