Princess Chang'an did not come back to her senses for a long time, until the Fairy-Rose County Lady came out from the inner room with a complicated expression and took her arm. Only then did she relax her shoulders, lean on the soft pillow beside her, and sighed deeply.
He turned his head to look at his daughter's complicated expression and smiled softly: "How is it? Do you know why I scolded you?"
In this world, apart from your parents, even your own children, when you become a nuisance and a burden, they will want to get rid of you as soon as possible, let alone your husband.
If Xianrong County doesn't learn to be smarter, it will sooner or later fall behind Chu Jingxing.
Princess Chang'an had been worried that her daughter would not be able to control Chu Jingxing. Now that she has seen Chu Jingxing's true face, she is even more certain that her daughter is no match for Chu Jingxing.
She hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to let her daughter marry Chu Jingxing.
I used to think that this was just an ambitious wolf that had not been tamed, but now I know that it is not an ordinary wolf, but a man-eating wolf king.
Smart and ruthless, he lurks in the shadows ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
If he hadn't had such a deep grudge against Shen Chen, he probably wouldn't have made the previous mistake.
Princess Xianrong looked at her mother in confusion.
She always felt that the difference between Chu Jingxing and her brothers was that he had his own opinions and looked like a gentle nobleman.
But now she finally understood that the difference between them was that one was too heartless and the other was too ambitious.
She finally understood why her mother asked her to keep a low profile and not cause trouble.
A person like Chu Jingxing would probably hate himself for the trouble he caused himself, let alone others
She couldn't tell what she was feeling for a moment. She sat next to her mother and hummed softly.
Princess Chang'an patted her head and said, "You don't have to be so desperate. It's better for a man to have brains than to have no brains. What you need to do is learn how to tie him down."
Tie him up
Tie up such a person
Xianrong County Lady laughed at herself and said, "Who can tie down a man like him who can calculate everything? I am just a chess piece of his...
Princess Chang'an looked at her daughter with a complicated expression, then silently held her in her arms and said softly, "You must be a chess piece that cannot be abandoned."
Princess Xianrong didn't understand.
Princess Chang'an stroked her head and said: "If you can
Stand side by side with him, and make him unable to leave you. Even if you are a chess piece, isn't it the most valuable one?"
"I don't understand." Xianrong County Lady lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes in her hands, feeling depressed: "He is so smart..."
Princess Chang'an smiled at her daughter in comfort: "After all, it's not that difficult. If you can help him, do your best. If you can't help him, don't say too much. It's best not to say a single word or do anything more. In this way, what mistakes can you make?"
But how easy is it to find a wife who is a perfect match for you and who won’t cause you any trouble
The King of Chu and the Queen of Chu have been together for so many years, but they still don't trust each other.
Chu Jingxing understood this very well. He also knew that, no matter what else, Princess Xianrong was at least someone he could subdue and was willing to subdue. This was more important than anything else.
Xianrong County Lady felt as if she understood something: "You mean that I should not act on my own and think about the impact before doing anything?"
Princess Chang'an was about to respond when Mr. Bai knocked on the door and said he had something to report.
Princess Chang'an nodded to her daughter and let Mr. Bai in.
"Princess." Mr. Bai bowed to Princess Chang'an as soon as he entered the room: "Jin Yuan... has been dealt with."
The princess uttered a long "oh" and asked after a moment, "How did you deal with it?"
"Mr. Jin had a sudden heart attack last night and has passed away." Mr. Bai smiled, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be any smaller: "His family has decided to carry his coffin back home."
Princess Chang'an nodded.
Jin Yuan is dead. Even if Wei An and Shen Chen know that Second Master Xie is behind all this, they can't do anything unless they can find any other evidence.
As for what happened next, Chu Jingxing took over again.
She gently said to Mr. Bai, "Thank you for your hard work. In this case, you can take a rest for a while."
Mr. Bai said he didn't dare, and then he said, "I heard the news that the palace summoned Pingxi Hou Shen Chen to the palace, probably because of Princess Yonghe's matter."
Princess Chang'an then remembered that Emperor Longqing and Empress Fang seemed to have planned to marry Princess Yonghe to Shen Chen.
Princess Yonghe went out of the palace again this time. Judging from her appearance at the time, she was probably very satisfied with Shen Chen.
Xianrong County Lady mocked from the side: "Shen Chen can't even think highly of me."
Even a blind person could see what he was thinking towards Wei An. He was attentive and considerate in every way and wanted to interfere in everything Wei An did.
How could he be willing to marry Princess Yonghe
Princess Chang'an coughed, and Lady Xianrong immediately stopped talking.
Mr. Bai asked: "Your Highness, should we take this opportunity to..."
Princess Chang'an raised her hand to stop him from saying anything else, and said coldly: "Don't create any more trouble. Now is not the right time. Since the matter of Jin Yuan has been dealt with, it is not appropriate to cause any more trouble."
After all, Wei An has King Zheng behind him.
If King Zheng gets angry by then, it will be bad if the matter of Second Master Xie is involved.
There's no need to ruin the overall situation for such a small matter.
Mr. Bai nodded his head.
Princess Xianrong was somewhat disappointed, but she also understood what her mother meant and did not interrupt again.
Princess Chang'an hummed, changed the subject and warned Mr. Bai: "Investigate the Xiao family's affairs carefully."
Chu Jingxing seemed to be much more reserved and capable than they had imagined. They all thought that his hands and feet had been completely cut off by King Linjiang, but who knew that he still had another trick up his sleeve.
How could he be so sure that the Xiao family would agree to a marriage just because of his words
Princess Chang'an was really curious about this.
Mr. Bai quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to check it out. We should have results after a while."
It was getting late outside, so Princess Chang'an quietly called Nanny Yuan in and asked her to discuss the next day's menu with the kitchen. She also asked Lady Xianrong to go back to her room to rest, as she had to entertain Princess Linjiang and others the next day.
