The Jin prince's family has never been peaceful, and the disputes between his wives and concubines have been difficult to deal with. At this moment, Queen Fang couldn't help but sigh: "Seventh Prince also agreed?"
The Prince of Jin is the seventh in line.
Princess Jin was silent for a moment and then smiled: "It was the prince who asked the third son to stay..."
Queen Fang knew that the Princess of Jin and Prince Jin's cousin, Concubine Xue, did not get along well with each other, and they fought overtly and covertly. However, the third brother, Chu Jingmeng, was extremely favored by Prince Jin.
At one point, the Prince of Jin almost wanted to make Chu Jingmeng the crown prince.
Hearing what Princess Jin said, she knew how they had struggled for a while behind closed doors before making the decision, so she said no more and just smiled, "That's good. I heard that the third brother and the girl from the An family are very compatible. If the young couple gets married and leaves the capital right away, the An family will inevitably be worried."
Leaving behind the Prince of Jin's most beloved son was certainly a good idea in the eyes of the Emperor and Empress.
Princess Jin heaved a sigh of relief and replied with a half-smile: "That's right, it just happened to be what he wanted."
The marriage almost didn't happen.
Others may not know the tricks involved, but Emperor Longqing does.
Before, Princess Jin had mentioned that she wanted to ask for a marriage decree for Chu Jingmeng. The girl she had her eyes on was from an ordinary family - a family even worse than the daughter of a doctor in the Taichang Temple whom they had chosen for the second son, Chu Jingqian. She was a girl from the He family, the daughter of a Yuwenlang in the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works.
Empress Fang and Emperor Longqing mentioned that the marriage would be arranged soon.
But then it happened that Chu Jingmeng 'accidentally' saved An Qinghe's eldest granddaughter.
This matter caused a lot of uproar - when Miss An Yu was rescued, her clothes were in disarray and she was wrapped in Chu Jingmeng's cloak. How could this matter be justified
Chu Jingmeng successfully chose a marriage that was much better than his brother's, and Emperor Longqing finally agreed.
Isn’t it because you know the situation of King Jin’s family
Chu Jingmeng thought he had a good plan, but he didn't know that this would make Princess Jin even more wary of him. How could she allow all her legitimate sons to stay in the capital
The house must have been on fire, so the King of Jin reluctantly left his most beloved son behind.
Queen Fang knew what was going on in her mind, but she still chuckled and exchanged a few words with Princess Jin, and then specially rewarded her with some things before letting her leave.
Princess Jin was still frowning.
She was so disgusted with Chu Jingmeng and his mother that she wanted to vomit.
The carriage jolted for a while before arriving home. Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to go to Princess Chang'an's mansion, a servant came to report that something had happened to the eldest young master.
The eldest son's leg disease would get worse in winter. Princess Jin endured the headache and quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician.
Later, I heard that when Chu Jingmeng was taking his eldest son to see the snow, his eldest son accidentally fell off the chair. I couldn't help but sneer: "Accidentally? I'm afraid you were too careful!"
After the incident with An Yu, Princess Jin and Concubine Xue no longer had any face for each other and simply fell out with each other.
She was not a generous person to begin with, so this time she simply let go and did not interfere in Chu Jingmeng's marriage at all. Even the arrangement of the gifts to be sent to the An family was entirely handled by Prince Jin himself.
It's clear that I don't want to get involved in anything.
Chu Jingmeng became even bolder.
She gritted her teeth, held back the anger in her heart, and asked, "Where is the Third Young Master?"
Except for the crown prince, none of the other sons of the Jin Wang family were given any special status, so they were just called young masters.
The people below all shrank back and replied, "I heard that Guard Yuan and his men at Phoenix Tower hosted a banquet for the Third Young Master."
Yuan Hongwen did invite Chu Jingmeng.
He is a person who likes to socialize and can always get along with anyone.
Shen Chen looked through the curtain at Chu Jingmeng, who was sitting still in the hall but getting along well with everyone. He smiled and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Han Bo took a step closer and told him: "I've checked it out. This matter..."
He lowered his voice and said, "The girl from the An family was indeed plotted against. The An family originally went to burn incense and look for a marriage partner - the family they were looking for was the Qian family. But somehow, the girl from the An family got lost and fell into the lake... and was saved by the Third Young Master of Prince Jin."
Chu Jingmeng was not a quiet person to begin with. Shen Chen smiled knowingly and told Xuesong: "Go back and tell your father..."
He paused and shook his head: "Forget it, I will tell my father in person when the time comes."
Xuesong approached him and asked, "Isn't he afraid that the King of Jin will be angry if he makes such a fuss?"
Prince Jin had no temper to begin with and was a timid person who liked to smooth things over. Even though he knew that Concubine Xue and his son had done this on purpose, he would not interfere.
That's just his temper.
As for the Chu Jingmeng.
Do you think he has any intention
His intention was probably to strive for the position of Crown Prince of Jin, and he probably didn't dare to dream of more things - the Prince of Jin himself was a soft persimmon, how could he teach someone to become a tough one
Xue Song was a little confused and didn't understand what Shen Chen meant: "If that's the case, why are we investigating him?"
What are you doing
Of course it is useful.
Shen Chen smiled slyly and did not answer.
Those who fail to handle household affairs well are always easily taken advantage of. He let down the curtain and stopped watching the people making trouble below. He just asked Xuesong, "How is Baohui's matter going?"
Before, Mr. Lin wanted to pursue Baohui, and Phoenix TV wanted to take advantage of the New Year to list Baohui in the next few days.
Xuesong nodded and said, "Baohui has been dancing for so many days, and there are many people willing to buy her dance. Many of them have already offered a price of three thousand taels privately."
Three thousand taels for a night of sex, that's something I'm willing to spend.
Shen Chen smiled indifferently: "Keep building momentum. The bigger the momentum, the better."
Since Young Master Lin wanted to fish, he would help him make the bait as tempting as possible.
Xuesong smiled and agreed. Yuan Hongwen was already urging people downstairs to invite Shen Chen to go down.
Yuan Hongwen was making a lot of noise downstairs. He had won a lot of money today and was in high spirits. When he saw Shen Chen, he came up to him and told him in a mean way, "I made more than 10,000 taels..."
He always liked to get close to Shen Chen. Shen Chen was also familiar with him. He exclaimed, "So many?"
Yuan Hongwen laughed even more complacently and glanced at Chu Jingmeng: "Thanks to this kid, hahahaha, he really gave me money to spend..."
Chu Jingmeng glanced at Shen Chen, smiled, and called him "Second Brother".
Yuan Hongwen put his arm around one of their shoulders and glanced at Shen Chen again: "I heard that Princess Yonghe is coming out today..."
There were some rumors about Princess Yonghe and Shen Chen. Chu Jingmeng smiled and glanced at Shen Chen: "Speaking of which, I should congratulate my second brother. Yonghe has a good temper..."
Yuan Hongwen nodded immediately: "That's true, Yongqing likes to cry..."
