Chapter 696: The Prince of Zhenguo Mansion
Aunt Chen's mother and daughter had dinner in Zhen's mansion and talked with the old lady until the evening, and then said goodbye and went back.
Originally, the house given by the Queen Mother had not been fully furnished, but Aunt Chen's mother and daughter couldn't wait, so they had already moved in advance, and slowly added it while living.
Xiao Li took his daughter-in-law Tong to send Aunt Chen's mother and daughter to the gate, and sighed in her heart, this mother and daughter didn't know what tricks they used, so they asked their mother-in-law to keep them for dinner, and they paid special attention to Chen Jing'er throughout the whole process.
But no matter what, since Aunt Chen has returned to Beijing, since the old lady recognizes her, Zhenfu is half of her mother's family, and she is Zhenfu's aunt's wife.
When he was going out, he met Zhen Ruocheng, the son of Zhen's family, who was going home.
Zhen Ruocheng didn't pay much attention to Aunt Chen's mother and daughter, because judging from their unfamiliar faces and dresses, Zhen Ruocheng mistakenly thought that they were the servants and maids who came to greet their masters and said hello.
"This is your aunt." Since they met, there is no reason not to introduce, and they will have to move around in the future, so Xiao Li introduced Aunt Chen to her son Zhen Ruocheng.
"This is my son, Brother Cheng." Xiao Li said to Aunt Chen.
"Auntie?" Zhen Ruocheng glanced at Aunt Chen a few times.
He only thought that Zhen had come to the door with his daughter-in-law.
Therefore, he heard his father Zhen Chen mention that Bai Zhuangyuan's mother was his father's cousin in a foreign country, and he was found by the Queen Mother today.
His father asked him to get closer to Bai Panmei in the future, and he was naturally happy when he learned the news, and went to Hanlin Academy to find Bai Panmei, but he didn't find it.
Unexpectedly, my aunt took the initiative to come to the door.
Zhen Ruocheng is a soft-hearted person, and when he thinks of his aunt's experience of being sold to another country due to family changes since she was a child, her heart swells with sympathy.
"Hello aunt, I went to the Hanlin Academy today to look for my cousin, but I didn't find it. I want to invite my cousin to the door another day. Zhen Ruocheng saluted Aunt Chen.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Li, Aunt Chen, and Chen Jing'er all knew that Zhen Ruocheng mistakenly recognized Aunt Chen as Zhen.
Aunt Chen's heart swelled up with dissatisfaction again, the queen mother cherished her sister like that, and now it is difficult for everyone in the capital to know that the second room of the Zhen Mansion has entered Beijing.
"Bai Panmei's mother is your eldest aunt, and I am the second aunt." Aunt Chen explained with dissatisfaction.
Only then did Zhen Ruocheng know that he had recognized the wrong person.
But he didn't blame him, his father didn't tell him that he had a second aunt, he thought there was only one cousin.
"Second aunt." Zhen Ruocheng saluted Aunt Chen again.
"These are two cousins." Tong pointed at Chen Jing'er and Chen Xuan'er and said.
"I've seen my cousin." Zhen Ruocheng said.
"I've seen my cousin." Chen Xuan'er and Chen Jing'er saluted.
Chen Jing'er quickly swept Zhen Ruocheng's eyes, unexpectedly collided with his gaze, quickly lowered her head, and her heart was pounding.
This is the prince of Zhenfu, the future prince of Zhenguo.
She found out from the old lady today that there was only one seedling in the entire Zhenguo Mansion, Zhen Ruocheng.
Mrs. Tong is the cousin daughter of Xiao Li's maternal grandfather, and she and Zhen Ruocheng are close to each other.
The two have been married for many years and have only one daughter.
She also made a new discovery from the old lady, that is, the old lady seemed to be dissatisfied with both Xiao Li and Tong.
"Since my aunt has come to Beijing, she will be her own family in the future, and she will often bring her cousin to the door in the future."
When Aunt Chen took Chen Jing'er and Chen Xuan'er into the carriage, Zhen Ruocheng personally sent them into the carriage and warmly invited them to come to the door often.
"Jing'er, what you asked me to say to the old lady really worked. Why do you want my words to hate your aunt and shake it down in front of the old lady? Aunt Chen was in the carriage back and couldn't help but ask Chen Jing'er.
It was precisely because of her hatred for her sister's words that the eldest aunt let go of her prejudices and was willing to accept their mother and daughter.
Chen Jing'er sat in the carriage and closed her eyes, she was still thinking about how to find a breakthrough to get close to Zhen Ruocheng.
"Mother, let me ask you, the old lady and the young aunt have no grievances, why can't they get along with her and sell her to Yangzhou?" Chen Jing'er asked Aunt Chen rhetorically.
"That's not even because my aunt was jealous of the lady in charge of our second room, and hated her sister together. She was pressed by our second-room wife, once she gained power, she had to take revenge, our second-room lady was gone, she wouldn't take revenge on her sister. "For the old lady to sell Zhen, Aunt Chen saw it very thoroughly.
"That's not it. The eldest aunt has the same mind as you, she hates the second lady, you hate the aunt, and the aunt and the second lady are one. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Chen Jing'er said.
Aunt Chen suddenly realized.
"So let's get on the old lady's boat, and in the future, my mother won't think about rebuilding the old friendship with the Bai family, and now the Bai family is our enemy." Chen Jing'er said.
Aunt Chen nodded and said, "That's nature." Even if we rush to curry favor with the Bai family, the Bai family will not accept us. ”
After what happened today, Aunt Chen realized that her jealousy and hatred for her sister had never been alleviated, even if her sister had lived a hard life in the Bai family for so many years, it did not reduce her jealousy.
My sister is a good fate, she has been spoiled in Zhen Mansion since she was a child, and she was sold to Yangzhou and the Bai family desperately tried to save her, although she was poor after marrying Bai Muban, she loved her mother-in-law and cherished her, and gave birth to a bunch of sons and daughters, as well as a daughter of a village owner.
She was jealous of her sister, more jealous than she imagined.
"Sister, didn't you say before that you wouldn't let me think about the idea of entering the palace? Why did you approve of me entering the palace in front of the old lady today? Chen Xuan'er couldn't hold back her excitement and asked.
Chen Jing'er glanced at Chen Xuan'er, her sister really wouldn't be stupid to think that the biggest obstacle to her entering the palace came from herself.
"Because it was difficult for our mother and daughter to enter the palace before, but now with the support of the Zhenguo Mansion, it is much easier." Chen Jing'er said lightly.
"Sister, how will the old lady let me enter the palace?" Chen Xuan'er asked.
"This is arranged by the old lady." Chen Jing'er touched Chen Xuan'er's face, her sister was indeed beautiful.
Maybe with the support of the Zhenguo Mansion, he can stand firm in the palace.
What do harem women rely on? Isn't it the mother's family and the heirs?
"Xuan'er, you had better keep it in your heart and don't tell anyone about entering the palace, if the news leaks and reaches the ears of the Queen Mother, we will be finished." Remember, hold your breath. Chen Jing'er looked serious.
Chen Xuan'er nodded.
"What if the Queen Mother found out?" Aunt Chen couldn't help but be a little scared when she thought of the Queen Mother's aunt.
"When the raw rice is cooked and the rice is ripe, the Queen Mother will have to accept it." Chen Jing'er said.
"Let's think about it, it's not that simple." Aunt Chen was uneasy.
Chen Jing'er and Chen Xuan'er didn't know the Queen Mother's methods, but she knew. When I was in Zhen's Mansion back then, don't look at this aunt as a concubine, but she was extremely valued, and the grandmother who didn't deal with her aunt could even put aside her prejudices and favor her, and when the second lady was sick and couldn't take care of the house, let her take over the housekeeping from a girl's family. The Diao slaves in the mansion were obedient to her rule, and there was never any chaos in the house when she was in charge.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the queen mother to choose her as a princess among many noble ladies to send to her relatives.
It is also impossible for her to marry King Jing, known as the god of war on the border, after being scattered by robbers on the road to her relatives. (End of chapter)
