Because Shen Zi did something stupid, although Princess Rui found an excuse to make her come back, everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, so they didn't have dinner at Prince Rui's mansion, they just talked with King Rui for a while and then went home , and Shen Zi was also called back by Princess Rui. She had redressed and dressed up. The bright red gauze skirt was embroidered with large peonies, which made her look even better. I don’t know if she was really worried about Shen Zi. This elder sister still has other thoughts, and Shen Jing and Shen Rong also came out to see her off.

Shen Zi knew that her behavior at noon had made Zheng Jiaqu lose face, so she was extra careful and considerate at this time, she was born beautiful, and she had just been married to Zheng Jiaqu for less than a year, so she was angry at Zheng Jiaqu like this. His intentions subsided a little, and his face was not so ugly.

On the contrary, when King Rui saw these three daughters, he was still angry in his heart, and his expression brought out some. Princess Rui was still kind and gentle as before, but after a few words of advice, he asked people to distribute the prepared things to the three daughters. The daughter and son-in-law just said, "Today is the first time Miss Jin returns home after she got married, so I'm a bit more partial, so don't hold your eyes."

Shen Zi was still flattering Zheng Jiaqu, although she was dissatisfied but dared not say anything, but Shen Qi said with a smile, "Where is the mother, it should be more with the third sister."

Shen Jin stood beside Chu Xiuming and said with a smile, "Big sister, don't be jealous."

"Bad girl." Shen Qi smiled brightly, and there was no sorrow in her eyes when she came here. Shen Jin was much more difficult than herself but had such a good life. As an older sister, she could never be better than her younger sister, so she just smiled, "Tomorrow Remember to bring your brother-in-law to my house."

Yongle Hou Shizi is not confused about important matters, he heard the words and said, "I have prepared good wine at home, and I will wait for my brother-in-law to come and get drunk."

The corners of Chu Xiuming's lips curled up slightly, and the coldness between his brows and eyes faded away, making him appear more dignified and independent as a gentleman, "Okay." His voice was even more pleasant, with a slightly deep and seductive feeling. Feeling that the little hook lifted her heart, she couldn't help but sneak a look, biting her lips with an indescribable loss in her heart.

Shen Jing couldn't care less about being shy, her fingers were stirring the embroidered handkerchief, her eyes flickered, she didn't expect Yongning Bo not only to be good-looking, but also to have such a charming voice, and also a good man who stands upright and guards the frontier for the country, so When I think about it, my heart is more and more touched. Compared with Yongning Bo, even the prince of Yongle Hou is a little less imposing, and the eldest son of the Zheng family is even less graceful.

Shen Xi also said, "Brother-in-law, I will go too."

"Okay." Yongle Hou Shizi agreed immediately, then looked at Shen Xuan and asked, "How about the prince also go together?"

Shen Xuan also complied. Although Prince Yongle looked down on Shen Zi, he knew the position of the Zheng family in Qingliu. He looked at Zheng Jiaqu and asked, "Where is the second brother-in-law?"

Zheng Jiaqu's complexion improved a lot at this time, "Brother-in-law invites you, how dare you refuse?"

Several people laughed, King Rui felt a little more comfortable seeing this, although the three daughters did something wrong today, it didn't affect anything after all, he said with a smile, "you young ones should be more intimate, the princess put my Bring altar apricot blossom wine and give it to Yuhong for them to drink tomorrow."

"Father is so generous, what about daughter's?" Shen Qi looked at King Rui, and said coquettishly, "You can't just give it to the three sons-in-law."

King Rui looked at it at this time, and still felt that the eldest daughter raised by the princess was dignified and dignified, and the third daughter was also delicate and sensible, and Concubine Xu was raised in a petty manner, so he heard the words and said, "Of course there are, give the honey wine to Qi'er take it."

"Thank you, Father." Shen Qi said with a smile.

Princess Rui smiled and asked someone to bring the two jars of wine that King Rui said to Shen Qi, "Okay, let the children go, it won't be convenient when it gets dark."

"What the princess said is true." King Rui said with a smile.

Shen Jing said softly, "Father, mother, daughter, send some sisters and brother-in-laws off."

Seeing Shen Jing like this, King Rui thought that she regretted the rudeness at noon in her heart, and now she came to make up for it and nodded, "Go."

Princess Rui's eyes flashed and her smile became more gentle.

After saluting King Rui and Princess Rui, several people walked towards the carriage together. Shen Jing and Shen Rong walked behind them. Shen Jin was talking to Shen Qi, unceremoniously talking about the dishes to eat tomorrow, and Shen Qi responded one by one. After stopping, Chu Xiuming touched Shen Jin's hand without a trace, stopped and looked at An Ning, and said, "Cloak."

"Yes." An Ning, who had been waiting at the back, quickly took the cloak and handed it to Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming took it and put it on Shen Jin with his own hands, with tenderness and pampering in his eyes.

Shen Jin chuckled, and the dimples on his almond-eyed and crooked face were revealed, "I don't feel cold."

Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, and fastened the cloak with his slender white fingers, and then he looked at the man who stopped and waited for them and said as if nothing had happened, "I still have the spirits from the border town. , Come tomorrow and let the eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law also taste it."

"Naturally." Yongle Hou Shizi didn't expect Chu Xiuming to love his wife so much, but he didn't say anything, after all, it was someone else's business.

Zheng Jiaqu sighed, "The third brother-in-law and the third younger sister really love each other." But such a pure and lovely woman is worthy of being held in the palm of one's hand.

Shen Zi held the handkerchief tightly, a trace of viciousness and hatred flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head full of hatred, the better Chu Xiuming was, the better he treated Shen Jin, the more unwilling Shen Zi was, these should belong to him, Shen Jin used tricks to snatch her away, maybe she was tricked by Shen Jin, and Princess Rui... such rumors, slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Xiuming, such absurd rumors...

Shen Jing's eyes lit up, and she held Shen Rong's hand forcefully, making Shen Rong look over in surprise with a soft cry, and saw Shen Jing secretly staring at Chu Xiuming's back, a thought flashed in his mind, but he felt Ridiculous, but... She looked at Shen Jing with some helplessness, and called softly, "Fourth sister?"

This sound awakened Shen Jing, and she saw her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were watery, a little more shy than a little girl, and she said, "Big sister, I wonder if my fifth sister and I can go to your house to disturb you tomorrow?"

Shen Qi looked at Shen Jing, said with a smile on his face, "Of course."

Shen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we will go together tomorrow."

"Thank you big sister." Shen Jing said softly.

Shen Qi no longer looked at Shen Jing and Shen Rong, but only looked at Shen Jin, and then said to Chu Xiuming, "Third brother-in-law, don't let my sister eat outside again."

Shen Jin widened her eyes and looked at Shen Qi in disbelief. She didn't expect her eldest sister to tell Chu Xiuming so directly. In fact, Shen Qi just saw Chu Xiuming put a cloak on Shen Jin. Knowing how much Chu Xiuming cared about Shen Jin, and thinking of what his mother said to make friends with Uncle Yongning, he found another way to start with Shen Jin. Shen Jin stomped his feet with blushing anxious cheeks and said, "Big sister, stop talking."

It was obvious that she wanted to make an angry expression, but it only made her feel like Jiaochen, without any threat at all. Shen Qi reached out and tapped her forehead lightly, but didn't say anything else. Chu Xiuming would naturally ask Shen Jin, but can he find out? Shen Qi didn't think Shen Jin could beat Chu Xiuming.

"Okay." Chu Xiuming glanced at Shen Jin, and responded with a smile.

Shen Qi smiled and didn't say anything else. After saying goodbye again, several people got into the carriage, but Shen Jing took Shen Rong's hand and looked at Chu Xiuming. She said shyly and nervously, "Third brother-in-law, I don't know how my sister Do you have the honor to be a guest at Yongningbo Mansion?"

Shen Xuan frowned and looked at Shen Jing. Shen Rong was so ashamed that she could hardly lift her head. Chu Xiuming was helping Shen Jin into the carriage and said, "Madam decides everything at home."

Shen Qi also heard Shen Jing's words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, Shen Jing lowered his head, showing a smooth neck, which was stained with a little blush, and whispered, "Third sister, I haven't been to Yongning Bo Mansion, can you visit me another day?"

"It's not very convenient." Shen Jin was a little embarrassed, and said honestly, "I drove away all the servants in the mansion, and many yards were sealed. You have no place to play when you go."

Shen Jing's face changed, and when she looked up again, she was already tearing up, "I know that my third sister had some discord with my mother before she got married, I just want to get closer to her, third sister... After all, we are all the daughters of my father and king , Father also wants to see us love each other."

Shen Jin looked confused, feeling confused and inexplicable, and moved her lips feeling aggrieved and said, "I'm not familiar with Concubine Xu, what's the difference?"

Chu Xiuming gently took Shen Jin's hand and helped her down, so as not to accidentally step on the ground for a while, "Say it well, there is no need to worry."

"En." Seeing that Chu Xiuming was there, Shen Jin felt that she had a backer, looked at Shen Jing and puffed her cheeks and said, "I was raised by my mother when I was young, and by my concubine when I was older. Concubine Xu was weak and didn't come In the concubine's courtyard, I haven't seen her very much, fourth sister, did you misunderstand something?"

Zheng Jia Qu Wenyan looked at Shen Jin's appearance, then lowered his head to look at Shen Zi, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Jing. He only felt that Shen Jing's words were too frivolous, but Xu Fangfei was like this, and she didn't go to greet the main room every day. She was still weak, and she had heard that Concubine Xu was arrogant and domineering because of the favor of King Rui, so it seemed that it was not groundless.

Shen Qi also opened the window and said, "Fourth sister, what did your third sister say that made you so sad?"

When everyone heard it, it was indeed the case. They all knew about the Yongningbo Mansion. Although at that time they felt that Shen Jin had done too much, and his temper was probably a bit arrogant and willful, but now that they saw it, they felt that there must be some misunderstanding. Shen Jing looks good, although she is not as beautiful as Shen Qi, and the pair of phoenix eyes that follow Shen's family are very popular with King Rui. At this time, Shen Jin's almond eyes really don't take advantage. The double almonds are moist and lively, and they are especially pleasing when they smile, and they are also extremely cute when they are not smiling. At this time, they look a little bit wronged, making them even more pitiful.

Shen Jin pursed her pink lips, and said with a little sadness, "I just returned to Beijing, and the mansion hasn't been cleaned up yet, so I'll invite my sisters to visit the mansion when it's done." As she spoke, she bowed her head and stood at Chu Xiuming's house. side.

Zheng Jiaqu is the one who sympathizes with the weak most, and Shen Jin's facial features have grown a lot in the border. Although it is not as gorgeous as Shen Zi's, it is extraordinarily delicate and pretty, like a white lotus blooming in a jade basin, weak but beautiful. Gao Jie said at this moment, "Why is Fourth Sister so aggressive?"

Yongle Hou Shizi thought about it for a while and didn't speak, but looked at Shen Qi, Shen Qi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I'm afraid the fourth sister is still drunk."

Shen Zi's face changed. If this word got out, it would not be a good reputation for Shen Jing. She just said, "The fourth sister is young, but I haven't seen the third sister for a long time, and I want to get closer to her. The third sister is an older sister, and the third sister What do you say?"

Leave this problem to Shen Jin. If Shen Jin still wants to blame, it will inevitably appear that he cares about his sister, petty and holds grudges. If he says he doesn't care, he will offend the person who just helped to speak. Said, "The fourth younger sister can say such a thing today, presumably because she has a lot of suspicions with the madam. As the elder sister, the madam should let the younger sister."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jing was overjoyed, and looked at Chu Xiuming with an inexplicable friendship. Although she and Shen Jin were both the daughters of King Rui, they were favored by King Rui since childhood. Jin couldn't compare, if it wasn't for the protection of Princess Rui, Shen Jin would have been forgotten by King Rui, and the credits of their mother and daughter would not be missing.

Shen Qi glanced at Chu Xiuming, Chu Xiuming's face remained unchanged, but Shen Jin trusted her husband and said, "Okay." There was no reluctance at all.

Zheng Jiaqu only felt a slight twitch in his heart. Such a pure and kind girl wanted to speak but found that Shen Zi pinched her hand severely. She was annoyed. Even when he came to Yongle, the crown prince felt that Rui Wang's mansion had actually raised Shen Jin. I really don't know whether such a naive temperament is good or bad, but I feel a little envious when I see Shen Jin completely relying on Chu Xiuming.

"Thank you brother-in-law." Shen Jing said delicately.

Chu Xiuming went on to say, "In the future, I will go out, where the fourth sister is, please forgive me and my wife will not set foot, that is, in the father-in-law's house..." Then he looked at Shen Xuan, with a little apology, "Please also My sister avoids it, or my wife avoids it, and never stay in the same room."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jing's face turned pale, and even Shen Qi looked at Chu Xiuming in surprise. This was simply slapping Shen Jing's face, telling everyone clearly that he hated Shen Jing in the mansion, a man with military power Yongningbo and his wife, one was a girl born to a concubine who did not come out of the pavilion, but she was only a princess when she died, everyone knows what is more important, so I am afraid that no one will rush to invite Shen Jing to come.

Not only that, even those who don't value Chu Xiuming will never invite Shen Jing again, because Shen Jin's reputation is so good... What good reputation can Shen Jing have when Yongningbo said such things in public

Shen Jin didn't notice anything, just continued to nod and said, "I see, I listened to my husband, where will the fourth sister go in the future, and please send me a message from the elder brother and the second younger brother." Then she looked at Shen Jing and sighed With a regretful tone, "We are sisters, and I didn't expect you to hate me so much. As a sister, I always let you go." After speaking, I was a little disappointed and sad, "Husband, let's go home."

"En." Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin's hand to let her get into the car, and never looked at Shen Jin and the others again. Although An Ning and An had no expressions on the plane, their eyes were a little bit more hostile, and they felt extraordinarily quiet. I hate it, and that concubine Xu who has never met, thinks that his wife is living such a life in the mansion, and feels very distressed.

Zheng Jiaqu shook his head, took a look at Shen Jing, and felt that she was too domineering. Although she was not the same mother, she was still his sister after all. She made her look bad in front of everyone just because of a little thing, and she didn't know how to treat her in private. No longer scruples about Shen Zi, she began to persuade, "Fourth sister, it's better to be chaste and virtuous, don't pay attention to the quickness of your tongue." If it weren't for Shen Jing and Shen Zi's mother, even these words would not be He wouldn't tell her that he felt that he had fulfilled his duty as a brother-in-law, so he stopped talking and got into the carriage first.

Shen Zi just felt dizzy, her husband urged her to leave first, but Shen Qi said, "Since this is the case, the fourth sister will not be welcome in my house tomorrow, and I have to trouble my two younger brothers and my father and mother to explain."

"Sister, don't worry." Shen Xuan and Shen Xi responded, Shen Jing almost fainted without even looking at it.

Yongle Hou Shizi used the wine and never rode a horse. After saying hello, he got into the carriage and sighed, "I never thought that the concubine Xu and her daughter would be so arrogant."

Shen Qi saw that Yongle Hou Shizi didn't see that it was Xu's mother and daughter who couldn't bear the hardships this time, but she realized something in her heart, and sighed, "They have always been like this, even my mother..." She said shaking shook his head.

Yongle Hou Shizi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why do I look at the second sister and hold so much resentment towards the third sister?" He did notice Shen Zi's eyes.

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, pretending to be puzzled, and said, "It shouldn't be, no matter what in the mansion, she always wants to dominate the third younger sister, even the fourth and fifth younger sisters... why does my husband think so?"

Yongle Hou Shizi frowned, Shen Qi knew that Concubine Xu didn't want her daughter to marry Yongning Bo, and finally pushed Shen Zi out, this matter can't be hidden from those who know it, after all, the day of engagement is there, as if thinking After a while, he said, "Maybe it's...but it's not right, it's obviously the second sister who doesn't want to."

"En?" Yongle Hou Shizi looked at his wife.

Shen Qi hesitated for a while and said, "At the beginning, Uncle Huang wanted to marry Uncle Yongning and let Father Wang choose a daughter to marry. In fact, according to her age, it was the second younger sister's fault, but the second younger sister was reluctant because of... The second younger sister is engaged to the Zheng family, and the third younger sister married to a border town, so I think the husband's words are strange, and it must be said that the third younger sister has resentment in her heart."

The prince of Yonglehou sneered, he already understood in his heart that Yonglehou's reputation was too bad at the beginning, presumably Shen Zi was unwilling to marry, and Concubine Xu was favored by King Rui, so he stayed in the capital and married the Zheng family My son, and Shen Jin married in the past, who would have thought that it was not the case after meeting today, Shen Zi inevitably regretted and felt a little unhappy, "It's really..." Thinking that it was Shen Qi's younger sister, she didn't say anything , and thinking of how difficult Shen Jin was at such a young age, he couldn't help but feel pity and said, "The third sister is also pitiful."

"Third sister and I naturally have a good relationship." Shen Qi said softly, "She must have been a coincidence, this time she got a good husband and it's hard work."

Yongle Hou Shizi nodded, but he forgot about Shen Jin running on his cousin at that time, and said, "Madam, my cousin has a pitiful background, you pity the young ones the most, so take care of her."

The hatred in Shen Qi's heart could not be dispelled, but she said with a bit of grievance on her face, "Where is the husband, don't all the good things in the mansion go to my cousin? It's the things my mother gave me to keep me healthy, and I shared most of them. Cousin." As she spoke, she lowered her eyes slightly, with tears in her eyes, sometimes showing weakness is not really weakness, she has seen it through today, "Forget it, husband can think whatever he wants." As she spoke, she turned her back and couldn't bear it. Looking again, it's just that the shoulders trembled slightly, looking extremely pitiful.

Yongle Hou Shizi had never seen his wife like this, his heart softened when he thought of the child they lost inexplicably, he put his arms around Shen Qi's shoulder and said, "It's my fault."

"My husband is kind to my cousin, so I would be jealous, but where did I really neglect her?" Shen Qi's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she was a little more coquettish, "My husband and that child... I can see the little girl when I close my eyes now." My body is cold, but my husband still mentions my cousin's belly in front of me every day... No matter how sad I am, can I embarrass my cousin at all?"

"It's my fault." Yongle Hou Shizi felt a pain in his heart, hugged his pale wife in his arms, and said, "I have neglected it in the past."

There was a bit of sarcasm in Shen Qi's eyes, but she leaned more softly in Yongle Hou Shizi's arms. At the beginning, she was sincere but didn't get the slightest pity, but now she just pretended to have such a result, Shen Qi lowered her eyes slightly She had already figured out what to do in the future, she put her hands on her lower abdomen, she was determined to make those people pay for her child's blood, but unfortunately she woke up too late at that time and had no clues.

In the Zheng family's carriage, Zheng Jiaqu looked at Shen Zi and said in a deep voice, "Stop interacting with your mother and two younger sisters in the future."

"What do you mean?" Shen Zi thought of Uncle Yongning's protection of Shen Jin in every possible way, and now hearing Zheng Jiaqu's words was particularly harsh, "And why did you say that about my sister just now?"

"Isn't the third sister your sister?" Zheng Jiaqu was also very angry, and when he thought about the poetry collection, he felt ashamed and embarrassed, "What did I say wrong?"

"My mother is your mother-in-law, and my sister is also your sister, yet you defend others?" Shen Zi gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Zheng Jiaqu, are you confused?"

"My mother-in-law is only one, and that is Princess Rui." Zheng Jiaqu said coldly.

"Okay, now you really think I'm the concubine's wife?" Shen Zi pointed at Zheng Jiaqu, her fingers dyed with impatiens were extraordinarily delicate.

Zheng Jiaqu blushed and said, "What about your rules?"

Shen Zi sneered, "Look at my husband, and then at you, you still talk about rules with me? I married into the Zheng family as a princess, and you still treat me like this?"

"No one is forcing you to marry." Zheng Jiaqu also had an angry look on his face, "Why did you marry in such a hurry at the beginning? I knew in my heart that if I knew you were like this before marrying a wife, I would rather not marry for the rest of my life."

Shen Zi was anxious, angry and ashamed in her heart. She had never been worse than Shen Jin since she was a child. At this moment, she was so angry that she reached out to hit Zheng Jiaqu. There was burning pain on his face, when he stretched out his hand to touch, Shen Zi caught blood, he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Zi, Shen Zi refused to let go and continued to rush over and beat her, Zheng Jiaqu held her down forcefully , "Since you look down on the Zheng family, then make peace, my Zheng family can't afford a ruthless person like you."
