Chapter Ninety-Five: Jealousy
Even if he is the son of a prince, how can he be compared to the future emperor?
Since ancient times, it has always been my sister's family that will marry better than my sister, where will it be the same as myself, not only does my sister marry well, but even seems to have my own relatives, who is also my father, begged the emperor, and only agreed to it for the sake of my sister's face.
If that's all, Prince Xu also told his daughter that Cui He would not inherit the title of Prince Cui, but he was just a white body.
This news completely crushed Xu Xin, and he finally felt that his jealousy, like a poisonous snake, began to secrete this amount of mucus.
However, Xu Xin is not the only one, the person who was carried away by jealousy, there is another person, her poisonous heart is not like Xu Xin, it has just germinated, and her heart is already full of holes.
Chu Wantian is the only daughter of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu loves her as a pearl in his palm, and has always asked for stars and never give the moon, and jade will never give gold.
Therefore, this Chu Wantian has also been arrogant since he was a child.
Although Xu Lan is a concubine, she is also the daughter of Xu Wangfu, and she is also half of the royal family, but Chu Wantian never takes Xu Lan in his eyes. What can her little concubine compare with the only daughter of the king of Chu who is loved by thousands of people? This Chu Wantian is also making things difficult, provoking and humiliating Xu Lan everywhere. But Xu Lan was not easy to argue because of her concubine background, so she just endured it.
The sun was shining on this day, and it was already three poles of the sun, but Chu Wantian was still grooming in the room, and the smell of fat powder and honey in the room was like fine dust, which seemed to show its shape one by one in the sun.
Chu Wan sat lazily in front of the dresser, and asked the combing slave to help her moisturize her hair with jasmine oil, I am afraid that there is no one in the whole capital whose hair can compare to Chu Wantian, Chu Wantian smelled the smell of jasmine, closed her eyes slightly, and thought about Ji Chen's appearance in her heart.
When Chu Wantian thought that if Ji Chen became the emperor, then he would not be far from the throne. Thinking of the dazzling five phoenix crowns, Chu Wan tilted the corners of his mouth upward, revealing a smile. At this time, Chu Wantian felt that the light in front of him made his eyes very uncomfortable, and his forehead was also hot.
Chu Wantian frowned slightly, knocked his slender jade finger twice on the dresser, and only swept his eyes to the open window. The little slave and maid under the curtain ran over again and again, and quickly lowered the erected window. Chu Wantian suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. The little slave opened the door of the sun again, and the curtain was pulled up.
It was probably a curtain made of silk segments, and under the blowing of the wind, Chu Wantian actually felt very comfortable. Chu Wan touched the nails he had just painted with cardamom, and secretly thought about the things that had happened in the past few days. I felt more and more uncomfortable in my heart, and there was a trace of anger.
At this time, the slave who combed her hair did not stop thinking. This slave has grown up in this Chu Palace, and she has long known that the young lady master of this family is going to be the queen, so she has always served carefully. However, recently, the crown prince has been abolished, and he was also ordered by the emperor to go to the fief, and at present, the prince Ji Chen is the most likely to inherit the unification. However, a recent incident made her master furious.
It turned out that this Ji Chen asked the emperor for an order, begging the emperor to marry Xu Lanxu, the concubine of King Xu's mansion, to him, and the emperor originally looked down on the identity of Xu Lan's concubine very much, and wanted to choose a good family again. However, this Ji Chen was very resolute, and the emperor could not resist him, and he had already issued an order a few days ago.
When Chu Wantian learned the news, he was full of resentment in his heart. She didn't believe that she would lose to a concubine of the palace, how majestic her Chu palace was, and how majestic her father was in the government and the opposition. And she Chu Wantian is one of the best among the young ladies in Beijing, in terms of appearance, figure, and knowledge. How could he be abandoned like this? Chu Wantian was very angry.
And this early in the morning, I got up and dressed up, waiting for news, once Ji Chen got out of the court, he would head towards Ji Chen's mansion.
Chu Wantian suddenly picked up the white hosta on the dresser, and the combing slave came to his senses. Hurriedly took it and inserted it into Chu Wantian's hair. Chu Wan tilted his hand, the combing slave took the hot water on the shelf, and walked out of the curtain all the way, when the combing slave walked out of the door of the house and went down the steps, finally, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the little guy at the door also happened to hear it, and the two looked at each other and smiled. It's like a new life.
At this time, the bell of the bell and drum tower in the capital rang, thinking that it was about to go down. Chu Wantian prepared more carefully. Chu Wan thought to herself, she was afraid that she had neglected Ji Chen before, but now that she went to see him, it would not be difficult to redeem him. Chu Wantian raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror, she was confident in her appearance, and felt that she would not easily lose to Xu Lan, just like the prestige of the Chu Palace's court and the opposition.
Chu Wantian was very confident, she put on the sachet, asked the slave maid to put on her cloak, and walked towards the door. The slave and maid hurriedly lifted the curtain, and the little maid ran to prepare the carriage.
In the entire Chu Palace, except for the Chu Prince's court, the busiest and most urgent thing is that the master of the Chu Palace's Miss went out, if the young masters are all men, none of them can be compared with Chu Wantian.
Chu Wantian didn't care about what those minions were doing, she was just thinking about how to deal with Ji Chen, did she want her to say good things to Ji Chen? Miss Chu Wantian also has a very serious temper, even if she is the prince back then, he is also surrounding Chu Wantian, Chu Wantian actually doesn't know how to please or redeem at all. She probably will only have one role, and that is to be her eldest lady.
Chu Wan sat in the carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking in his heart, I am the county lord of the Chu Palace, go to his Ji Chen's mansion, he should be able to understand my heart. Chu Wan was worried, she didn't know what Ji Chen would do to her, she felt that all this was here with Ji Chen, and the result was unpredictable and unpredictable.
Chu Wan got out of the carriage and arrived in the living room of Ji Chen's mansion under the guidance of the housekeeper of Ji Chen's mansion, Chu Wan sat down, waiting for the housekeeper to serve her tea, Chu Wantian looked at Ji Chen's mansion and felt that he was also a prince anyway, but this mansion looked very shabby. I heard that the mansion had never been renovated after it was selected, and Ji Chen had lived like this for so many years, no wonder the prince was in the limelight back then, and no one would really take this prince who was not too favored in his eyes. Even Chu Wantian ignored that Ji Chen had such potential to inherit the unification.
Ji Chen went down to the court in a hurry, and rushed to the house from outside the mansion, because the female dependents walked through the side door, Ji Chen did not pay attention to the carriage that stayed at the side door, and while following the followers to talk about the court, they rushed towards the room, and the little girl who came over wanted to tell Chu Wan about his visit, but he did not say it clearly, at this time, Ji Chen had already rushed into the inner hall.
When Ji Chen saw Chu Wantian, his face changed greatly. Ji Chen secretly thought in her heart that she had political disagreements with her father in the court, and she didn't know what would happen when her daughter came to visit privately.
Ji Chen accepted Chu Wantian's salute and beckoned her to sit down, and then asked Chu Wantian why he came over?
Chu Wan saw that although this Ji Chen was polite, he was obviously very impatient, and suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, he didn't want to be regarded as a treasure at home, but he was treated coldly here today, Chu Wantian was furious in his heart.
Chu Wantian put the tea bowl in his hand on the table next to him, and said: "The tea selected by the prince is thought to be the West Lake Longjing that was soaked in frost and dew last year. I wonder if the prince thinks he will exchange the ordered tea before tomorrow? ”
Ji Chen said with a smile: "Although Biluochun is good, it is not as good as the West Lake Longjing that has bad insects, and I ask the county lord to forgive me, this king is unwilling to exchange."
Chu Wantian didn't expect Ji Chen to be so ignorant, Chu Wantian grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, and said eagerly: "If you exchange, your mansion will be full of guests because your tea tastes excellent." On the contrary, perhaps because the tea is not chosen correctly, this dilapidated palace gate can be crowded, and even everyone avoids it. ”
Ji Chen didn't expect Chu Wantian to threaten and warn himself in this way. Ji Chen sneered in his heart, feeling that this Chu Wantian was really stupid, stood up and sneered, and said, "Did your father ask you to come over to warn me?" Thank you so much. However, even if I, Ji Chen, am not interested, please let Miss Chu Wantian go, if you like my imperial brother, you will help him to get up, and as for what tea to drink in my mansion, how to drink it, I don't have to worry about Chu Wangfu, I can't afford to drink the good tea of your Chu Wangfu, and I don't want to drink it, and I also ask Miss Chu Wantian not to work an unenlightened person like me. ”
Chu Wan felt very humiliated when she heard this, she didn't believe that she would be rejected like this, Chu Wan actually said more and more clearly.
Ji Chen really didn't want to toss with Chu Wantian, so he spoke more clearly, Ji Chen told Chu Wantian that he was just waiting to marry Xu Lan, and he would only marry Xu Lan in this life, Xu Lan was so good, and she couldn't compare to Chu Wantian. When Chu Wan heard this, he immediately burst into a rage, and directly smashed the teacup on the table into the hall, which frightened Ji Chen's housekeeper to jump to his feet. is also like this, Ji Chen's housekeeper has talked about this for many years, but fortunately, Ji Chen chose Xu Lan, a gentle and knowledgeable woman.
Chu Wan was insulted by Ji Chen's contempt, and came out of Ji Chen's mansion angrily, got into the carriage, and went to all the hairpins on his head, and his tears couldn't stop staying.
