No one expected that Chu Xiuming, who was reported missing by Mr. Liang, was drinking with Mr. Liang at Mr. Liang's mansion. Mr. Liang said, "Bo Gaoyi, Yongning."
"Since my lord is cooperating with me, I can't let you suffer." Chu Xiuming had a rare smile on his face.
Master Liang sneered, "You just don't know what my words and that spy's words are. Who does Your Majesty trust more?"
Chu Xiuming said, "Naturally, the one who believes is willing to believe. Mr. Liang should find out who are the spies as soon as possible."
Lord Liang said, "Uncle Yongning, don't worry, I already know it in my heart."
Chu Xiuming didn't speak any more, but raised his wine glass, Master Liang also raised his wine glass and drank the wine inside in one gulp.
Mr. Liang asked tentatively, "However, the people on my side are all familiar faces. I wonder if Uncle Yongning can lend me some people?"
Chu Xiuming looked at Master Liang calmly, and Master Liang said quickly, "I crossed the line."
Mr. Liang was not disappointed. If Chu Xiuming agreed, he would doubt it. After all, Chu Xiuming and him cooperated in such a secret way that they took risks. Neither of them trusted each other.
Chu Xiuming cooperated with Mr. Liang to "disappear" for a while, so that Mr. Liang could deal with Emperor Cheng, so as to gain the trust of Emperor Cheng and find the spies around him. After this incident, Chu Xiuming appeared again and got rid of several officials, thus explaining the truth. The "disappearance" matter can preserve the prestige and complete the things that Emperor Cheng explained.
Master Liang was just testing Chu Xiuming's bottom line, Chu Xiuming said, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"What is Yongningbo going to do?" Mr. Liang asked.
Chu Xiuming put down his wine glass and stood up. He didn't feel like living in someone else's house at all. Instead, he was more like a master than Mr. Liang, and said, "Mr. Liang, have I asked you about your next arrangement?"
Lord Liang said, "Uncle Yongning misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
Chu Xiuming looked at Mr. Liang, and said in a deep voice, "There is no best, we are just cooperating temporarily, and I will return to my northwest in the future, and you are in your southeast."
Lord Liang also stood up, and said, "What Uncle Yongning said is true, but in central Fujian, it may be inconvenient for Uncle Yongning sometimes, so it's better to let Yi'er follow Uncle Yongning, just as an errand."
"Anything you want." Chu Xiuming didn't care, the Yi'er that Mr. Liang spoke of was his eldest son Liang Yi.
Hearing Chu Xiuming's answer, Master Liang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Chu Xiuming didn't target him, it would be enough, "I will make Yi'er obey Yongningbo's orders."
Chu Xiuming didn't say anything else, Mr. Liang personally sent Chu Xiuming out of the hospital, and then someone called Liang Yi over.
Back in the room, Chu Xiuming didn't feel surprised to see that there was another person on the bed in the room. It was the man he saw in the bathroom that time. The man asked, "Are you ready?"
"En." Chu Xiuming said.
The man was Chu Xiuming's good friend Xi Yunjing, and asked, "Did you make a request?"
Chu Xiuming nodded, and Xi Yunjing said, "With his son?"
"En." Chu Xiuming took off his coat, poured a glass of water and drank it.
Xi Yunjing said, "Is there anything else you can't calculate?"
Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Are you here just to talk nonsense?"
Xi Yunjing sat up and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, you really don't tell your siblings? She is pregnant."
"I promised to go back to pick her up." Chu Xiuming sat on the chair and said, "I'm afraid Emperor Cheng has summoned Zhong Yi to come to Beijing."
Xi Yunjing looked at Chu Xiuming's expression and sighed, "Looking at you, I also want to marry a wife a little bit." But he just sighed, and stopped talking, and instead talked about business, "According to Emperor Cheng's temperament, can There are only a few people who use it.”
Chu Xiuming tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his fingers and said, "According to the plan."
Xi Yunjing said, "Okay, I understand."
The two discussed a few more words, and Xi Yunjing turned out the window and left. Chu Xiuming was left alone in the room. I don't know if Mr. Liang is too confident or too stupid. He not only arranged for Chu Xiuming alone. In order to show his sincerity, the courtyard didn't even send other people to serve in the courtyard, but he thought that it was impossible for someone in Liang's mansion to sneak in without telling him.
But there is such a person who does not play cards according to common sense and is capable, but it is convenient for Chu Xiuming and Xi Yunjing to exchange news and arrange things.
Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly, reached out and took out the jade pendant that he had been wearing all the time, stroked it with his fingers, "Hurry up."
In Prince Rui's mansion, because of Chu Xiuming's incident, many people could not sleep. In the study room of the main courtyard, Princess Rui looked at her son and said, "Xuan'er, you pack your things tomorrow and leave for Minzhong the day after tomorrow."
King Rui said, "Princess Wang, this arrangement is not appropriate."
"My lord, Uncle Yongning is your son-in-law after all. If you don't respond at all, it would be inappropriate." Princess Rui's voice was not slow, she had already considered it, "It's just that Xuan'er made such a trip, so it's good to find him. If you can't find it, you have done your best, since that day, the reputation of the palace has been bad, and this time is also an opportunity."
King Rui frowned and thought for a while, "But Your Majesty..."
"My lord, what is supposed to come will come. Uncle Yongning told the palace only when he was alive, that there is an extra layer of protection." Princess Rui said, "Since Girl Jin married Uncle Yongning, the palace can no longer stay out of it."
King Rui sighed and said, "Alright, it's also an explanation to Miss Jin, but it's not necessary for Xuan'er to go in person."
"Xuan'er is going there on behalf of my father." Princess Rui had her own plan, she looked at King Rui and said, "Your Highness cannot leave Beijing at will, so besides Xuan'er, who else is more suitable?"
King Rui didn't speak, but King Rui comforted him, "After all, I'm going for such a trip, why would I want to keep my hand and show lack of sincerity? Besides, does the lord think something really happened to Bo Yongning?"
"You mean..." King Rui looked at Princess Rui.
Princess Rui smiled, "Are you feeling flustered at all when you see Miss Jin? And those people who serve her are all arranged by Bo Yongning. If something really happened, would you still be so calm?"
King Rui also reacted immediately, and said, "My concubine is still considerate, and so is girl Jin, why don't you say anything."
"What do you want Miss Jin to say?" Princess Rui raised her eyebrows and asked back, "I'm afraid she is not 100% sure."
"Didn't the princess say..." King Rui looked at Princess Rui.
Princess Rui said, "As long as you are 60% sure, it's worth a try. My lord, Your Majesty has not appointed a crown prince so far. Why do you think so?"
King Rui's heart trembled.
Princess Rui said slowly, "Your Majesty can hold back now, how about waiting?"
King Rui looked at Princess Rui, and Princess Rui stretched out her hand to hold King Rui and said, "Of course we believe that the prince has no other thoughts, but... will we believe it? Do you think that the prince also wants to be that oriole?"
One word said everything, King Rui said, "It's my short-sightedness."
"My lord just puts too much emphasis on friendship." Princess Rui wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if wiping away tears, "I just hope that I worry too much."
King Rui held Princess Rui's hand, looked at Shen Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, take away all the guards in the mansion, you must pay attention to safety, if you really find your sister-in-law, you should listen to him more, you know? "
"Yes, my son understands." Shen Xuan is not a very smart person, but he is sensible and willing to listen to advice.
Shen Xi was confused when he heard it, but he also said, "Actually, my son also thinks that the third brother-in-law will be safe. No matter how powerful the pirates are, can they be stronger than those barbarians?"
King Rui shook his head and didn't say anything else, he was afraid that it wasn't the pirates who were powerful, but the knife behind Yongningbo.
In Shen Qi's courtyard, she looked at her husband and said, "Do you think something happened to my brother-in-law?"
Prince Hou of Yongle thought for a long time before saying, "Actually, I think this matter is very strange."
"En?" Shen Qi looked at her husband.
Yongle Hou Shizi explained, "Don't you think the whole thing is a bit vague? My brother-in-law is missing, but what about the people around him? Are they all missing? My brother-in-law is Yongningbo, how could those officials not care about such a big matter The report is clear, but it is so simple? And His Majesty's attitude... I always feel too impatient."
Shen Qi said, "Then Princess Ruyang makes things difficult for my sister, what should I do?"
His son Yonglehou was full of hesitation, and he said after a long time, "After all, I have a better relationship with my sister and brother-in-law, but it's not good to be ignorant, but... it's not good to offend Princess Ruyang and Zhong Yihou, after all, His Majesty looks at it Zhong Yihou must be reused."
Shen Qi nodded and said, "I understand."
Yongle Hou Shizi sighed and didn't say anything else.
In the Moyun Courtyard, it was Concubine Chen who was also unable to sleep, and after Shen Jin finished her supper and scalded her feet with hot water, she lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Concubine Chen didn't know what to say What's good about my daughter, is she trusting Uncle Yongning too much or is she heartless? She was also afraid that Madam Zhao and the others would misunderstand her, and it would be bad when Uncle Yongning came back and said, so she said in a low voice, "Girl Jin is probably tired." .”
On the contrary, Mother Zhao comforted Concubine Chen and said, "Concubine Chen doesn't need to worry. The most important thing for Madam is to protect herself. It won't be long before there will be news about Uncle Yongning."
Anping also said, "That's right, as long as Uncle Yongning promises, there will never be anything he can't do."
An Ning poured a cup of tea for Concubine Chen, "Miss Concubine Chen, please rest earlier."
Seeing this, Concubine Chen felt more at ease, nodded and said, "That's fine."
Zhao Momo sent Concubine Chen off, and then said, "An Ning, stay awake at night."
"Yes." An Ning respectfully replied.
Zhao Momo nodded and left the room with Anping.
On the second day, Shen Jin got up before Mother Zhao called, and An Ning waited on Shen Jin to change his clothes and said, "Your maidservant, go pass the water now."
"En." Shen Jin responded.
Zhao Momo and Anping have already woken up, and the kitchen has prepared hot water. Seeing An Ning, Zhao Momo asked, "What's wrong?"
"Madam is awake." An Ning said.
Zhao Momo's heart moved, and she understood that although Shen Jin didn't show it, she might be affected, but she didn't say anything, but asked Anping and An Ning to bring hot water and let them serve Shen Jin to freshen up, while she stayed in the kitchen, I made breakfast myself.
Seeing such an early-rising daughter, Concubine Chen was not used to it, she sighed in her heart, and asked, "Why don't you sleep more?"
"I've already slept well." Shen Jin said with a smile.
Mother Zhao set up the breakfast, and Concubine Chen took her daughter's hand to eat together. Because Shen Jin woke up early, some of them were too late to cook, but Shen Jin was not picky about eaters, so she had breakfast as usual, and went to the yard again After playing with Xiao Budian for a while, he sat by the window and said, "Anping, bring me the unfinished dress."
"Yes." An Ping respectfully replied.
The clothes were made by Shen Jin for Chu Xiuming back then, but they haven't been finished yet. This time, Anping brought them over when she thought about it. Concubine Chen didn't stop her, she just said, "Don't be tired."
"No." Shen Jin said, "Mother, don't worry."
Mother Zhao went out and came back and said, "Madam, Manager Zhao wants to see Madam."
"Oh?" Shen Jin was looking at the half-made clothes. She hadn't made them for a long time and forgot where she had done them. "Where is Guanshi Zhao now?"
"Still in Yongning Bo's mansion, I sent a guard to pass the message. If Madam agrees, he will come here now." Zhao Mama said respectfully.
Shen Jin thought for a while and said, "Then let him come in, Anping, go and say hello to my concubine mother."
"Yes." After hearing this, Anping and Mother Zhao complied and made arrangements.
Naturally, Princess Rui would not object, so she asked Cuixi to explain to the concierge, and then said, "Serve with heart, tell girl Jin to let her relax, and Xuan'er will go to Minzhong tomorrow, and if there is a letter, let her Send it to Xuan'er, if Xuan'er finds Uncle Yongning, he will hand it over to Uncle Yongning."
An Pingping said gratefully, "Yes, I will go and tell my wife right now, servant girl."
Princess Rui nodded, Anping saw that she had no other orders, so she withdrew.
After returning to the Moyun Courtyard, she learned what Princess Rui said from Shen Jin, and Concubine Chen said with a sigh of relief, "It's really great, I never thought that the princess would let the son go."
Shen Jin said, "Then I'll write a letter."
Concubine Chen looked at her daughter and said, "Go quickly."
Shen Jin nodded, put aside the clothes she just sewed, stood up with An Ning's hand, and walked to the small study. She felt that there were many things she wanted to say to Chu Xiuming, but she didn't know if she could send them to In Chu Xiuming's hand, An Ping flattened the paper and pressed it with a press, while An Ning was grinding aside, Shen Jin chose a pen, but at this moment he hesitated, thinking for a long time before writing a line.
Seeing that Shen Jin finished writing so quickly, An Ping and An Ning were surprised, but no one looked at it. Shen Jin saw that the whole paper was almost empty, thought for a while and changed a pen, and drew a fat and round dog. , it was the little one, who covered the paper all at once, and then dried it with satisfaction, then put it in the envelope, asked An Ning to seal the envelope, and said, "Help me send it to the concubine mother."
"Yes." Anping took the letter and left.
Manager Zhao came in the afternoon, and Shen Jin met him in the yard. This time, Manager Zhao did not bring that apprentice with him. Seeing Manager Zhao, Shen Jin asked, "What can the manager want from me?"
"It's something to do, but seeing Madam's appearance, I feel that it's all right again." Manager Zhao said.
Shen Jin looked at Guanshi Zhao with some doubts, and felt that sometimes he spoke in a daze, but when he said he was fine, Shen Jin didn't mean to ask, but said, "It just so happens that I have something to talk to the steward. .”
Manager Zhao said, "Madam just let me tell you."
Shen Jin didn't show off, "Please go back to the border town and have a word with my brother."
Steward Zhao looked at Shen Jin, and Shen Jin said, "Just tell my younger brother, no matter who goes, just take care of it. The General's Mansion is not short of such a few people who eat."
"I understand." Manager Zhao said.
Shen Jin nodded, "Mother Concubine asked Elder Brother to leave for Fujian tomorrow."
Zhao Guanshi showed a little thought on his face, but Shen Jin didn't say anything, as if he was just telling Zhao Guanshi about it, she felt that Princess Rui and Zhao Guanshi were both thoughtful people, and she could guess what the other meant.
"Madam, please be more careful." Steward Zhao looked at Shen Jin and said, "If the general returns, I'm afraid I should blame him."
Shen Jin heard the words and said, "You can't live in the palace, even if you want to, you can't."
This is a big truth, but such a big truth made the corners of Zhao Guanshi's eyes twitch, "Ma'am is right, but Princess Ruyang, Ma'am, be careful."
"Well, it's okay." Shen Jin stroked her stomach, "She dare not hit me."
After Zhao Guanshi heard the words, he looked at Shen Jin in a daze, then thought about what Shen Jin had done in the past, and felt that it was not Shen Jin who should be worried, but Princess Ruyang.
After saying a few more words, Guanshi Zhao left.
When Princess Ruyang and the son-in-law returned to Beijing, although Emperor Cheng did not go to pick them up in person, he sent the two princes out of the city to meet them, which showed how much he valued them.
It's winter now, and Shen Jin is a person who is afraid of the cold. The charcoal basin was prepared early in the house, and even so, he still needs to wear thick clothes. Concubine Chen originally wanted to take out all the leathers she had collected and give them to Shen Jin Decorate the house, but she stopped her, "There is no reason for the mother to spend money on what the husband promised."
Concubine Chen's eyes were red when she said a word, Chu Xiuming hadn't heard from him for more than a month, and although Shen Jin didn't say anything, they could all see that Shen Jin was not as relaxed as he appeared, not that Shen Jinshi The one who doesn't swallow, but Shen Jin's daily life is extremely regular, but the morning is not like it used to be. He has to be coaxed to wake up, and he has to drink warm goat milk to wake up. He eats and sleeps on time every day. People reminded me to take a walk outside slowly, sensible people feel distressed.
Because the weather is getting colder, no matter whether it is Shen Jin or Shen Qi, they go out a lot less, and there are a lot of contacts between the two. If there is nothing to do, let the maid send something or write a few words to pass it on. Today, Shen Qi came directly Shen Jin hurriedly let Shen Qi in, and said, "Why did my sister come in person?"
Shen Qi took off his cloak and covered his hands, and then said, "There are some things, I'm afraid the girl can't explain clearly."
Shen Jin asked Shen Qi to sit down, An Ning brought over hot jujube soup, Shen Qi drank some, and then said, "Princess Ruyang posted a post, I happened to be at my mother's side, so I brought it for you."
Shuangqiao was holding a bronzing post in both hands, Zhao Mama took the post and handed it to Shen Jin. Shen Jin said, "It's quite fragrant."
"Princess Ruyang is the most elegant." Shen Qi said.
Shen Jin responded, this post not only has a faint floral fragrance, but there is also a plum blossom in the upper right corner after opening, "Huh." Shen Jin saw the novelty and smiled, "It's so delicate."
Shen Qi said, "I was also surprised at the time, so I asked my mother, and my mother told me that this paper was probably made by Princess Ruyang specially."
Shen Jin nodded and understood, and said, "The princess is really versatile."
Shen Qi didn't say anything. Looking at the content of the post, Shen Jin thought it was written by the princess herself, with a beautiful plum blossom script. Although Shen Jin's handwriting is not ugly, it is definitely not as good as Princess Ruyang's, but Chu Xiuming's. The words are also very beautiful, and Shen Jin unconsciously thinks of her husband again, wondering if he would like to see Shen Xuan? If I don't see it, I'm afraid I won't receive my letter.
As time went by, Shen Jin felt more and more that the so-called disappearance was caused by her husband himself. It was not all trust, but because Emperor Cheng had not moved for so long. The news that Bo Yongning was defeated by the pirates and that his life and death were unknown has been spread all over the world, but now it is still the news. If something happened to Chu Xiuming, Emperor Cheng would not be able to hold his breath so calmly, nor could Princess Ruyang and his son-in-law. Entering Beijing so fast.
Princess Ruyang's post didn't contain anything, it was just an invitation to Shen Jin to enjoy the flowers, Shen Jin asked, "Is my sister going too?"
"I also accepted the post." Shen Qi said, "We will go together when the time comes."
Shen Jin responded with a smile, "Then I'll reply."
Shen Qi nodded, "When you're done answering, just leave it to me, and it's enough for the servants to go around for a while."
Shen Jin responded, Anping and An Ning brought things over and spread them out on the table. Shen Jin quickly wrote a reply and handed it to Shuangqiao.
Shen Qi said, "On that day, we will all be with mother, don't go away alone."
"I know." Shen Jin understood what Shen Qi meant, and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry."
Shen Qi nodded, but she didn't have anything to say, so she asked Shuangqiao to send the reply to Princess Rui, and talked about other things with Shen Jin. The two of them were still talking about the child in their belly. That child is gone.
Princess Ruyang set the date for viewing flowers three days later. Not only did she invite many people, but she also brought two younger sisters, Zhaoyang and Chenyang, to the house.
Concubine Chen and Nanny Zhao didn't follow, so she packed Shen Jin's things early and checked them several times before she felt relieved.
When Shen Jin brought her maid to the main courtyard, she saw Princess Rui and Shen Qi, and they were both ready. Seeing that Shen Jin was almost wrapped into a ball, Princess Rui said with a little smile on her face, "Princess Rui Mansion, don't walk around alone."
"Yes." Both Shen Qi and Shen Jin obediently agreed.
Princess Rui asked the girl to put a cloak on her and said, "I'm afraid the second girl will also go this time, girl Jin must not let her get close."
"My daughter knows." Shen Jin responded.
Princess Rui has no other instructions. From her point of view, Shen Zi may be more careful than Princess Ruyang. Princess Ruyang is the most face-saving, but Shen Zi hates Shen Jin so much that she loses her reason. This is the most dangerous .
Shen Xi led the horse and smiled when he saw Princess Rui and the others coming out, "Mother, I'll take you there."
"Okay." Princess Rui also smiled when she saw her son. The eldest son sent back the news when he went to Minzhong, but it was sent by someone on the way. There will be accidents, but I am afraid of encountering accidents.
Seeing his younger brother, Shen Qi said with a smile, "Why didn't you put on the earmuffs?"
"Yes, I will put it on after I get on the horse." Shen Xi said.
Only then Shen Qi nodded, because she was pregnant, she did not ride in the same carriage as Princess Rui, Shen Jin also smiled at Shen Xi, and was helped by the maid into the carriage of Yongning Bofu, Anping and Anning Then he also got into the carriage, and Shen Jin asked, "Why does the driver look familiar to me? But it's not the original one?"
An Ning said, "Returning to Madam, it was Yue Wen. He changed his attire, so Madam didn't notice it for a while."
Shen Jin responded, took off the cloak and handed it to Anping, Anping took a small blanket and covered Shen Jin's lap, Anping said, "If Madam has something to do, I will order my servant to do it, and I must not let Anning leave. "
Seeing the nervousness of the people around, Shen Jin smiled instead, "Don't worry, I understand." Rubbing her stomach, she said, "When my husband comes back, I will definitely let him reward you well."
"When does Madam think the general will come back?" Anping asked.
Shen Jin lowered his eyes slightly, looked at his stomach and said, "It's almost here."
Although Princess Ruyang has not returned to Beijing for many years, the Princess Mansion has always been taken care of by people. Before they returned to Beijing, Emperor Cheng specially asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to repair it again, making it even more luxurious and refined. It was late, when they arrived, many people had already arrived, and the servants did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately led Princess Rui, Shen Qi and Shen Jin to the inner hall.
I also saw many wives who had arrived on the road, most of them had daughters of the right age with them, Princess Ruyang had a son who was not old enough to marry, so some wives brought daughters of the same age, not all of them With Zhongyi Hou Shizi's idea, other people also have sons of the right age, which can be regarded as a different kind of acquaintance.
However, even if these wives are invited, they may not be able to meet Princess Ruyang. Princess Ruyang’s mansion is very large and divided into many courtyards. The courtyard where Princess Ruyang is located is only one out of ten.
Princess Rui and the others went to the one where Princess Ruyang was. It was a specially built observation building. After entering, Princess Rui took her two daughters and chatted with their familiar wife. The room was very warm and decorated with There are quite a few flowers, most of which are not supposed to bloom in winter. It is amazing to see such a scene outside, but those who can be invited into the building are not the kind of people who have never seen the world, but it’s just a matter of admiring it.
Mrs. Yonglehou also arrived, she was Shen Qi's mother-in-law after all, so Shen Qi took the initiative to say hello, because Princess Rui was here, no matter how much dissatisfaction Mrs. Yonglehou felt in her heart, she did not dare to show it. Instead, she comforted Shen Qi with gentle words A few words.
Although everyone vaguely knew that Shen Qi stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion after she became pregnant, they would not speak out at the risk of offending Prince Rui's Mansion and Yongle Hou Mansion. harmony.
After sitting there for a short while, I saw a handsome woman in court dress in her thirties coming over, and said with a smile, "Madams, please move, the three princesses specially prepared refreshments in the Qingyi Garden to welcome you ladies. "
Everyone didn't say much when they heard the words, so they agreed, and followed the woman in palace attire to Qingyi Garden. The viewing tower and Qingyi Garden were not far away. Everyone seemed to be walking casually, but looking carefully, they were They walked according to the rank and position of the husband's family, and Princess Rui naturally walked in the front with her two daughters.
Along the way, not only are various flowers placed, but the trees are also decorated with various colors of silk and satin, and the end is full of magnificent clusters of flowers.
The servants serving in the yard all had smiles on their faces, but no matter they were walking or doing other things, they didn’t make any sound. It can be seen that the rules in Princess Ruyang’s house, Princess Rui naturally saw these in her eyes, but she didn’t take them back Well, she doesn't like that.
Seeing everyone coming, the two ladies in palace costumes opened the door and raised the curtain. There were many charcoal basins in the room, which would not make people feel cold at all. Princess Rui took off her cloak, and after Cuixi took it, , handed it over to another maid, and followed Princess Rui to the inner hall, and Shen Jin did the same, bringing An Ning in.
After Princess Rui entered the inner hall, her footsteps paused. Not only Princess Ruyang was there, but Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chenyang were also there.
This is not the reason for Princess Rui to be like this, but the three princesses are all sitting on their knees, and there are no tables and chairs in the room, instead there are warm seats and low tables. Seeing the two younger sisters get up, although they are princesses, Princess Rui can be regarded as an elder. Princess Ruyang said with a smile, "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, but Aunt Lao came to see me today. Is it Ruyang's? Three cups of apology."
Princess Rui just smiled, and Princess Ru Yang personally invited Princess Rui to sit down, "I may not have seen my cousin for a long time, and I didn't rush back when my cousin got married."
"The princess has a heart." Princess Rui knelt down, and a maid came over with something and placed it on the low table.
When Shen Jin and Shen Qi came in, they both frowned. Both of them had learned things like kneeling and sitting. Although they didn't use it much, sometimes such etiquette was unavoidable. Now the two of them Being pregnant, such a posture is the most tormenting.
The corners of Princess Chenyang's mouth rose slightly, obviously waiting to see Shen Jin's good show, and Princess Zhaoyang's eyes also flashed a schadenfreude, but Princess Ruyang looked at Shen Qi and the others with a little bit of surprise and embarrassment on her face, and said , "I've been out all the time, and just returned to Beijing, and I didn't know that the two cousins were pregnant, it's my fault." He saluted slowly.
Naturally, Shen Qi and Shen Jin didn't dare to accept it, instead they bowed back and said, "The princess is going to kill us."
Princess Ru Yang said, "I've just returned to Beijing, and this is the first time I hold a banquet. I thought it would be solemn to arrange it like this. I'm also used to sitting on my knees outside. How about this? I'll ask someone to set up tables and chairs for the two cousins." All right."
Princess Chenyang smiled and said, "Eldest sister doesn't need to worry, she just sits on her knees. It's nothing to the two cousins, so naturally they won't feel embarrassed."
If it were another person, hearing such words, they would naturally reject Princess Ruyang's proposal. After all, the room was full of people kneeling and sitting. As special as I am, I would feel somewhat uncomfortable and lose face, but Shen Jin is not a person who embarrasses himself in order to be considerate of others, and said, "Actually, I am quite embarrassing." This was said to Princess Chenyang. Before Princess Chenyang could react, she sweetened Princess Ruyang. Sweet smile, "Princess Ruyang has a kind intention, so I won't refuse."
If Shen Qi was the only one, she might have to compromise, but now that Shen Jin has spoken, she won't say much, she has already lost a child, and Shen Qi attaches great importance to the child in her womb, even if Offended Princess Ruyang also admitted.
Princess Chenyang's complexion changed, "Shen Jin, what do you mean?"
"Ah?" Shen Jin looked at Princess Chenyang with a confused face and said, "Didn't Princess Ruyang understand that it is inconvenient for me to sit on my knees now that I am pregnant, so she wants to arrange tables and chairs for me?"
Chen Yang didn't know how to refute the words. Who knew that Shen Jin looked at Princess Ru Yang cautiously and asked, "Could it be that Princess Ru Yang is joking? Or is it just talking?"
Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang said, "Of course my sister means what she says, it's Chen Yang's sister who misunderstood."
Princess Ru Yang narrowed her eyes, and carefully scrutinized Shen Jin's expression. She couldn't tell whether she was pretending to be stupid or really stupid, so she said, "Come here, change the tables and chairs."
Shen Qi and Shen Jin thanked her, and then everyone who came in saw these things in their eyes, but didn't say anything. One of the concubines, who was also pregnant, bit her lip and took a peek at her mother-in-law, who waved her hand slightly. She didn't dare to say anything anymore, and knelt down on her seat cautiously, feeling envious of Shen Jin and the two of them in her heart.
When everyone was seated, Shen Jin and Shen Qi looked even more special. Princess Ru Yang said, "Auntie, why are you so unfamiliar with Ru Yang? You can just call Ru Yang by his name. The two cousins are the same, why don't you keep talking?" Elder sister doesn’t want to be called? They are all family.”
Shen Qi and Shen Jin didn't answer the conversation, Princess Rui said, "Ru Yang thinks too much."
Princess Ru Yang laughed when she heard the words and looked at Shen Qi and Shen Jin. She couldn't see the look in her heart that had just been refuted by Shen Jin. Shen Qi called out, "Cousin Ru Yang."
