Chen Luo laughed.

He couldn't imagine the scene where Wang Xi gossiped with others and said everywhere that Chen Ying was not.

He curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and he felt that those grievances were nothing.

At the very least, there is one person who will always be on his side.

He suddenly knew why he always liked to run to Wang Xi's side when something happened.

Chen Luo couldn't help but say softly: "You can leave this matter to me!" I'm not going to let people just throw dirty water on me. ”

Wang Xi didn't believe him at all, and said, "If you really have this ability, why does everyone think that you will be unfavorable to Chen Ying for the position of the prince of Zhenguo?" Even Chen Jue thinks so. It can be seen that you usually don't bother to ignore this, and you don't bother to plead, others don't believe you anymore. ”

Chen Luo was embarrassed.

That's true.

He promised: "I will defend myself this time, you wait and see." ”

Wang Xi could only believe him for the time being, called the little maid to come in and clean up the table, and went to drink tea under the grape trellis in the courtyard with Chen Luo.

She asked him, "Do you have a safe place to live?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Chen Luo was surprised.

Wang Xi said: "This year, the osmanthus of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion is good, I made a batch of osmanthus wine, hide it in the yard for you, and open it in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, and the wine will definitely taste very good." It's better for you to keep it for yourself and give it away. ”

Chen Luo was puzzled: "Don't you keep some?" ”

Or do you think the willow shade garden is uneasy?

Wang Xi said with a smile: "I may return to Shuzhong after the winter sacrifice." ”

At that time, Chang Ke will definitely be married, and Miss Pan will not be in the mansion anymore, so instead of cheapening these people in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, she might as well give it to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo looked at her in astonishment: "You, you want to go back to Shuzhong?" So what are you doing in the capital? ”

Didn't she say that she wanted to come to the capital to marry a good man?

She still hasn't even a word about this marriage?

Could it be that something happened to the Wang family?

He looked Wang Xi up and down.

Wang Xi's expression was brisk, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his eyes were shining, not like he had encountered something bad!

She nodded and said, "It is my mother's long-cherished wish to come to the capital, and my father and I don't want to disappoint my mother." As for ......'s marriage, she has been in the capital for almost half a year, and the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is not a reliable family, but she is not easy to say."

Wang Xi said a few words and said, "I think I still prefer Shuzhong." There are my relatives and friends, elders and siblings, and there are not so many things over there, which makes people feel more comfortable. ”

Chen Luo wanted to refute Wang Xi a few words.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Who can come to the capital and is willing to stay in Shu without moving. But Wang Xi also has a point, her relatives are all in Shu. The most important thing is that he did not have a strong reason to convince Wang Xi to stay - living in the capital, the most important thing is that there are people in the court. He himself is too busy to take care of himself, where does he dare to be Wang Xi's protector.

After that, what he said to Wang Xi, he had a vague memory. But the faint regret in his heart and the anger at his own incompetence were deeply seared in his heart like a whip.

After he buried the wine he brought back from Wang Xi in the house of Liutiao Hutong, it was as if all the strength of his body had been drained, and after returning to Lu Mingxuan, he lay on the bed and didn't want to get up.

The next day, the eldest princess sent someone to call him, saying that there was something about Chen Ying to discuss with him, but he was lazy and couldn't arouse his interest, and for the first time in his life, he felt disgusted, and said: "I'm a younger brother, he is an elder brother, no matter what it is, it's not appropriate for me to be a younger brother, right?" ”

Or, in the past, it was because he was too much in charge.

What does Chen Ying have to do with him?

What will happen to Zhenguo Gong in the future is now his father's responsibility, even if he is cut off, it is also his father's responsibility, what does it have to do with him?

He lay on the bed with his arms across his forehead, blocking out the light from outside.

The eldest princess was taken aback, and asked the young aunt who went to pass the message: "Does he know what I am looking for him?" ”

Qinggu shook her head with a wry smile and said, "I look at the second son like that, he is very decadent." Most likely it was your words yesterday that stabbed him. You shouldn't have said that about him. This kid doesn't know how many grievances he has suffered over the years! ”

The eldest princess didn't speak for a long time, until Qinggu refilled a cup of tea for her, and then she said tiredly: "Then forget it!" Chen Ying's marriage, I won't interfere anymore. You go and talk to Zhen Guogong, and say that if there is really no one to handle it, then ask Chen Ying's uncle and aunt to come over and help. Lest my aunt and grandmother see our mother and son like hedgehogs, Chen Luo and I used to endure it for the sake of Grandpa Guo's face, since Grandpa Guo doesn't appreciate it, we don't need to keep such a cold face and a hot face, as if our mother and son have no way to live if they leave the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

This is the first time that the eldest princess has shown her dissatisfaction with Zhenguo Gong, and it is the moment when Chen Ying wants to get engaged, Chen Yu is so angry that he can't hide his anger, and he directly smashes a cup.

As if she hadn't seen it, Qinggu saluted respectfully and retreated.

Chen Ying's biological mother is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, and she used to be a family of etiquette cultivation and reading. It's just that in Chen Ying's uncle's generation, he didn't even have a person in the exam, and he didn't have a scholar in Chen Ying's generation, but he started a business with some of the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he looked like he had abandoned his business and started a business.

Chen Ying's marriage, if such an uncle is in charge, it will be a joke!

But it is impossible for Chen Yu to bow his head to the eldest princess.

He thought about it again and again, and simply asked someone to hand a letter to the Jin family, saying that Chen Ying was going to marry a wife, and asked Jin Songqing to help order some red silk with colors.

Jin Songqing laughed when he received Chen Yu's letter, laughing and laughing, but a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

He was not worthy of his sister-in-law, and he was married to such a person by the emperor.

He forwarded the letter to the eldest princess, and according to Chen Yu's wishes, he sent two hundred red silk horses to the Zhenguo Mansion to tie the color.

The eldest princess read the letter, lit a candle and burned it, and went to the imperial mausoleum, which was more than 300 miles away from the capital, under the pretext that her biological mother wanted to see her in a dream, and burned incense for the Emperor Taishang, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother.

On the side of the concubine, looking at the two sons who stood up a head taller than her, they didn't know what to do, so they could only lie on the pillow of the concubine's couch and cry non-stop: "There is no impermeable wall in the world." How can you design Miss Shi in order to get rid of the Shi family! Is this the work of a righteous gentleman? Don't you want fame? What about your marriage? Is it really going to be handed over to the emperor to decide? Chen Ying is so stupid, what will you do if he shows some of his feet? ”

The third prince wanted to ask his mother, was he worried that the matter would be exposed and affect their reputation, or was he worried that there was no more suitable candidate for the princess?

The fifth prince didn't want to say a word.

They did contribute to this, but if Chen Ying had no ambition and no delusions, how could he dig his own grave?

"Mother, don't cry, okay?" For the first time today, his impatience turned into substance, showing between his words, "You have this time to care about our marriage, you might as well put some thought on Fuyang." She felt that Miss Shi had an accident at her hairpin insertion ceremony, and she was also responsible, not only prepared to visit her, but also prepared to help Miss Shi take part of her own money. Don't forget, most of her body silver was rewarded by the emperor, but don't let her brain heat up and give it to Miss Shi. ”

Transferring the gifts to others is a great disrespect to the emperor.

The emperor is already very annoyed with Chen Ying and Shi Zhu, and if it happens that Fuyang subsidizes Shi Zhu with his own money, maybe even they will be implicated.

The fifth prince persuaded the concubine: "Don't you also dislike Miss Shi?" Now that she's been married, why don't you just be generous. What can be done will be fulfilled by her! ”

"What kind of sin have I created!" The lady thought and cried again.

It's just that there are no tears in the eyes.

I don't know if the third prince and the fifth prince know it.

*

Shi Zhu was much better than when she first came back from the palace, at least, she began to think carefully about what had happened in the palace that day.

At that time, it was the people around Princess Fuyang who asked her to go to the warm pavilion, although she was on guard, she didn't expect things to be like this.

What she didn't expect was Chen Ying. She knew that he was stupid, and knew that he was not as smart as Chen Luo, but she didn't expect him to be so stupid and so stupid.

This matter must be inseparable from the third prince and the fifth prince.

and Chen Luo, maybe he will also fall into the ground.

But she has nothing to regret.

Either Caesar or nothing.

She also once stumbled Chen Luo, and also calculated the three princes and the five princes, one drink and one peck, it has its own cause and effect.

She just didn't expect the Third and Fifth Princes to hate her so much.

Fortunately, she didn't marry ignorantly.

can let her marry Chen Ying, that is also impossible.

She didn't want to spend her life looking at that stupid face.

Shi Zhu began to think about who was suitable around him, to see if he could ask the emperor to take back the holy decree, or change his mind.

She knows that this is not easy, but if she doesn't work hard, she can only marry Chen Ying in front of her eyes.

It's just that before she could think of any good ideas, someone from Yulin came.

Shi Zhu was shocked and asked the maid who served closely, "Why did they come so quickly?" ”

Although her marriage was given by the emperor, she had to inform her family. Yulin is still so far away from here, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth, which is why her marriage will be scheduled for March next year.

Her personal maid's face turned a little pale, and she said in a low voice: "Yulin doesn't know yet." The grandmother who came this time was by my wife's side. Mrs. was worried about you, and when she asked her to give a New Year's gift to Mrs. Yu's family, she stopped by to see how you were doing. ”

If the Shi family knew that Shi Zhu was given marriage to Chen Ying, and such a scandal occurred, Shi Zhu's servants would be afraid that their lives would be lost.

Some of them have already begun to find ways to sneak away or sell themselves to other people's homes.

Shi Zhu took a deep breath when he heard this.

There are some things that you have to face when you have to face them, but do you want to push Chen Ying out of the blame...... After thinking about it for less than three breaths, she decided not only to tell the truth to the people from the Shi family, but also asked the people from the Shi family to enter Beijing as soon as possible to discuss her marriage with Chen Ying.

She would rather be a widow than marry Chen Ying.

Having such a husband is a stain on her reputation.
