Chapter
For some reason, Emperor Cheng was particularly calm this time. Although he knew that Chen Jin had returned to the capital, he had never summoned her. No one knew what Emperor Cheng was thinking. Chen Jin didn't care. He was more comfortable in the Rui Palace. Now, the Rui Palace is the owner, Chen Jin, who lives very freely.
Although those people were not servants of the Rui Palace themselves, they did not dare to neglect Chen Jin. Not long after Yue Wen and the others left, Emperor Cheng sent new guards. To be nice, they were protecting Chen Jin, but to be honest, they were just to monitor Chen Jin. However, it was really much more convenient to have them. At least when buying things, An Yi handed over the list to the guards every day, and someone would send them over the next day.
But Chen Jin was free, but Emperor Cheng was uncomfortable. On the sixth day after Shen Jin came to the capital, the queen finally summoned Chen Jin. In addition to the queen, Princess Ru Yang was also there. Compared with the border town, Princess Ru Yang was a little thinner, wearing a gorgeous outfit and a little arrogant. When she saw Chen Jin, she just nodded slightly.
The queen didn't say anything, and left Chen Jin in the palace. Chen Jin did not refuse, but asked someone to pack up the things and then moved in. The queen was not in a good mood. After using the meal with Shen Jin, she said, "Ru Yang has also been back for a while, and Ru Yang took Chen Jin to the small garden to sit."
"Yes." Ru Yang knew about the mother's health. If Emperor Cheng had not specifically explained it, the mother would not have forced to see Chen Jin.
Chen Jin also responded respectfully. The queen glanced at Chen Jin a few times and suddenly said, "If Mrs. Yongning is free, come to my palace to sit."
"I understand, Auntie." Chen Jin said with a smile.
The queen stopped talking and asked Princess Ruyang to take Chen Jin out. When she arrived at the small garden, Princess Ruyang sent the palace maid to the side. Chen Jin also nodded slightly to An Ning, and An Ning pushed away. Princess Ruyang asked, "Is the prince consort okay?"
"Mr. Zhongyi wrote a letter to the princess, but I didn't bring it with me. After two days, I will ask someone to send it to the princess." Chen Jin said.
Princess Ruyang nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "Don't go to the Imperial Garden soon."
"What's wrong?" Chen Jin did not drink tea, but just took the fruit to eat it, and asked curiously.
Princess Ruyang's face looked a little bad, and she pursed her lips before saying, "The father has a concubine who is pregnant."
Chen Jin did not understand what Princess Ruyang meant. Although Princess Ruyang knew that her relationship with Shen Jin was not suitable for saying this, she could not find someone to say. She had a bad body with her mother and queen. She would not bother her with these things. Princess Ruyang could not do it. When Princess Ruyang thought of Zhaoyang and Chenyang, she felt even more unwilling to do it. As a result, she could only talk to Shen Jin.
"That woman is very favored. After being pregnant, she likes to go for a walk in the Imperial Garden." Princess Ruyang said, "Last time Zhaoyang and Chenyang met in the Imperial Garden, and I don't know what happened. After returning, the man got angry. The father punished Zhaoyang and Chenyang, and even if the mother pleaded with her, it would be useless."
Chen Jin looked surprised and nodded, "I won't go to the Imperial Garden."
Princess Ruyang thought Chen Jin would ask a few more questions about that woman, or was a little dissatisfied. After all, Chen Jin was very spoiled in the border town.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, he waited for such a sentence, and didn't know what to say for a while. Chen Jin asked, "How is the emperor's grandmother?"
"Not very good." Princess Ruyang said, "Because of the Emperor's uncle's affairs, the father took his anger on the Emperor's grandmother, so the Emperor's grandmother rarely came out. However, he hired an imperial physician a few days ago and said he was a little uncomfortable."
Chen Jin nodded, "Then I'll go see the emperor's grandmother tomorrow?"
Princess Ruyang thought of her husband and children who were still in the border town, nodded and said, "I'll accompany you."
Chen Jin responded, and the two were talking. Li Fu suddenly came over and said after saluting, "Your Majesty invites Princess Ruyang and Mrs. Yongning to Ganlu Palace."
Ganlu Palace? Chen Jin looked at Princess Ruyang with some confusion, but saw Princess Ruyang's face look ugly, and looked at Li Fu and said, "Why did your father suddenly announce that we will go to Ganlu Palace?"
Li Fu lowered his head and said, "I don't know."
Princess Ruyang sneered and said, "I'll let Eunuch Li wait for a moment. I'll go after Mrs. Hou's dress and I will change my clothes."
"Yes." Li Fu retreated respectfully, not angry because of Princess Ruyang's attitude. In fact, he also felt that this was inappropriate, but he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup the Ganlu Palace had given His Majesty. Just because he wanted to meet Mrs. Yongning, His Majesty directly sent him to the Queen's Palace to invite people.
Not to mention what the queen thinks, it is hard to say no matter what Mrs. Yongning Marquis thought, so Li Fu slowly breathed.
Chen Jin was taken to the back hall by Princess Ruyang and asked, "What's wrong with that Ganlu Palace?"
Princess Ruyang said, "It's the palace of the one I just mentioned to you. My father specially changed his name to the word "Nanlu."
Chen Jin thought for a while and nodded but said nothing. It seems that Emperor Cheng really doesn't give the queen a face, but what did that person come to them for? He gave the queen a warning? It's not that stupid, but what else? Chen Jin thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out. Princess Ruyang whispered, "Be careful."
"Oh." Chen Jin replied.
Princess Ruyang was so angry that she was so angry that she said, "I saw that she was heading for you. My father is not good at helping you. I won't blame me for the loss."
"I don't blame you." Chen Jin looked at Princess Ruyang and said sincerely, "You have nothing to do."
Although it was the truth, Princess Ruyang felt uncomfortable no matter how she heard it. Chen Jin stopped talking. Princess Ruyang took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go."
"Don't you have to say something to the emperor?" Chen Jin asked in confusion.
Princess Ruyang looked a little uncomfortable, but she just shook her head and said, "No."
"Even if you don't say it, the emperor will know." Chen Jin followed Princess Ruyang out and whispered.
Princess Ruyang smiled and said, "At least, the mother is worth living."
Chen Jin said Oh, just as Madam Zhao said at the beginning, some people are particularly proud of their face. Even if they lose their inner self, they should look good in terms of face.
Li Fu had already prepared a sedan chair. After Chen Jin and Ru Yang got into the sedan chair, several people headed towards Ganlu Palace. An Ning followed Shen Jin's sedan chair. Both the palace maids and nannies in the palace were wearing palace clothes. An Ning and the others had just come in and were still wearing their own clothes, which was particularly eye-catching, but Chen Jin and An Ning didn't care.
When he arrived at Ganlu Palace, Chen Jin wanted to sleep. If it weren't for being in the palace, Chen Jin should have taken a nap at this time. An Ning held Chen Jin's hand and everyone walked inside. Princess Ruyang had a smile on her face, and there was no sign of anger. Chen Jin followed behind in a confused manner. Before he could enter, he heard a female voice coming from inside, "Your Majesty, I have never seen what Mrs. Yongning Marquis looks like? Is Yongning Marquis really that scary? I heard that he likes to eat human flesh the most... It's so scary."
When Princess Ruyang and Shen Jin arrived, there would naturally be someone to inform him that the people inside could not know, that is, they said these words to Chen Jin on purpose. Even if Princess Ruyang hated Yongning Hou, she had to admit that Yongning Hou was very good-looking. These rumors were nonsense. After thinking about this, she turned her head and looked at Chen Jin, but saw that Chen Jin seemed to be awake and not awake... She didn't know what to say for a moment, but when she thought about the situation when she saw Chen Jin, Princess Ruyang felt relieved. Seeing Chen Jin Qi's enemy and being Chen Jin Qi were different.
After Li Fu was told, Princess Ruyang took Chen Jin in. Princess Ruyang found that when she first entered, Chen Jin seemed to be much more energetic, but after saluting Emperor Cheng and the others, she began to be listless again.
In fact, Chen Jin wanted to know what the woman who made Emperor Cheng obsessed with Princess Ruyang looked like. Chen Jin originally thought that she should be more beautiful than Xue Qiao, or more beautiful than her second sister Chen Zi, but when she saw it, she realized that Concubine Lu could only be said to be ordinary, and her voice was good, so she was a little disappointed and was not interested in continuing to watch.
The moment Shen Jin and Princess Ruyang came in, Concubine Lu also looked at them carefully, especially Chen Jin. When she saw Chen Jin, she showed a little jealousy in her eyes, and then she returned to her naive appearance and said, "Your Majesty, this is Mrs. Yongning, she is so beautiful."
Chen Jin sat on the chair beside him and didn't say anything. Princess Ruyang looked at Concubine Lu. Emperor Cheng smiled and patted Concubine Lu's hand and said, "Don't be naughty."
Listening to Emperor Cheng's voice, Princess Ruyang moved uneasyly. Concubine Lu smiled and leaned against Emperor Cheng's side. She was six months pregnant and had a stomach full of conceit. She said coquettishly, "No, why is Your Majesty Mrs. Yongning Marquis, why doesn't you like to talk?" At the end of her speech, she felt a little aggrieved. "I know that my identity is low. Does Mrs. Yongning Marquis think that my identity is low..." She burst into tears as she said that.
Emperor Cheng was obviously a little displeased and looked at Chen Jin and said, "Don't want this to be a concubine. With me here, no one dares to underestimate you. Mrs. Yongning Hou just doesn't like to speak, right?" The last three words were asked Chen Jin.
Although Chen Jin was a little distracted, he was not completely unaware of this. He looked at Emperor Cheng and then at Concubine Lu, and finally his eyes fell on Emperor Cheng, "Oh."
Concubine Lu's expression was twisted for a moment. Does this word mean that she can't speak or that she has a low status? It seemed that she noticed that it was not good, Chen Jin continued, "Is the emperor and uncle said." But he did not answer what Concubine Lu said just now.
"Madam Hou is so beautiful." Concubine Lu stroked her stomach and smiled, "Your Majesty, I have always heard that Madam Yilan is beautiful, but I think Madam Hou is much more beautiful than Madam Yilan."
Ru Yang's expression changed, she knew Mrs. Yilan, who was also considered a strange woman. The famous prostitute in Jiangnan was sought after by countless literati and poets. Many rich young men wanted to redeem her, but they were rejected by Mrs. Yilan. In the end, they paid for their own money and then there was no news.
Although this wife of Yilan is a prostitute, she is a prostitute. Using her to compare her with Chen Jin is really an insult to Chen Jin. Even if Chen Jin is not Mrs. Yongning, she is also her cousin, the princess of the court. Princess Ruyang saw that Chen Jin did not react and was about to speak, she heard Chen Jin ask, "Who is this Mrs. Yilan?"
Concubine Lu covered the corner of her mouth with a veil and smiled, "It's for the great beauty."
Chen Jin nodded and said, "Concubine Lu knows so much, so why didn't the emperor and uncle be included in the palace?"
Emperor Cheng also knew Mrs. Yilan, and said after hearing this, "I'm afraid this person has passed away."
"What a pity." Chen Jin sighed.
Princess Ruyang gritted her teeth and was about to remind her, but when she saw Emperor Cheng's expression, she could only lower her head and twist the handkerchief. Concubine Lu smiled and said, "I also felt sorry at the beginning. Now that I have seen Mrs. Hou, I will never feel sorry again."
Chen Jinlu looked at Concubine Lu with some curiosity and said, "Since Concubine Lu has a good impression of this Mrs. Yilan, it is better to write a poem to miss Mrs. Yilan. Then let the emperor and uncle publish a collection of poems for you."
Princess Ruyang almost laughed when she heard this, and quickly lowered her head and wiped the corner of her mouth with a veil. Chen Jin's move was really... If Concubine Lu really dared to do this, she would probably be scolded to death first. It was not only Concubine Lu, but also Emperor Cheng himself who was embarrassed.
Emperor Cheng showed a little embarrassed, and Concubine Lu choked and said, "I don't know poetry."
"It's okay." Chen Jin comforted, "Let the emperor find someone to write for you, we won't say it."
Concubine Lu bit her lip and stopped saying a word. Chen Jin said, "Uncle, although it is a bit bad for cheating like this, Concubine Lu is pregnant. This little wish will satisfy her. At worst, she can find the tomb of Mrs. Yilan. However, Concubine Lu is not good for leaving the palace. Let the grand palace maids around her leave the palace instead, and it is better to give Mrs. Yilan a few incense sticks."
Chen Jin smiled and said, "If the emperor and uncle are not easy to come forward, I will contact you. The father and husband know more or less. At most, they can offer a reward, and reward a thousand taels of silver, which can always make Concubine Lu fulfill her wish."
"Madam Hou!" Concubine Lu said with tears in her eyes, "I know that she is a low-minded person, but you don't need to be a concubine like this." Concubine Lu was originally a palace maid. She had taken so much effort to get to this point that Emperor Cheng liked. How could Chen Jin do this? She also saw Chen Jin's seriousness. If she didn't say anything at this time, Chen Jin would probably do this. She was not just talking. The most important thing was that Emperor Cheng had not spoken yet.
Chen Jin looked at Concubine Lu innocently, "What does Concubine Lu mean?" He also had a grievance as he said, "I saw Concubine Lu being pregnant and kindly fulfilled Concubine Lu's wishes... Concubine Lu accused me like this." As he said that, he started to cry, "Although my father and husband are not in the capital, my uncle, the emperor and the emperor grandmother are still there... Uncle, where is my father?"
Emperor Cheng felt his head too big and said, "Don't cry."
Concubine Lu leaned on Emperor Cheng weakly, and her soft breast gently rubbed against Emperor Cheng's arm. Emperor Cheng was a little distracted. Thinking of Concubine Lu's charm, he felt that Concubine Lu's intentions had been reduced a little, and said, "Don't cry, girl Jin, although this lady Yilan is a strange woman, she has a low status..."
Before Emperor Cheng could finish his words, Chen Jin opened his eyes in shock, then looked at Concubine Lu, and then looked at Emperor Cheng, "Uncle...what is the identity of Mrs. Yilan?"
Emperor Cheng was naturally hard to say about the identity of Mrs. Yilan, so he looked at Li Fu. Li Fu lowered his head and complained in his heart. It was hard to say directly that Mrs. Yilan is just a prostitute. "There is a very famous lady in Jiangnan. Yilan Qu praises Mrs. Yilan."
"Yilan Qu?" Chen Jin frowned and thought for a moment, as if he suddenly realized something, and his eyes turned red in an instant, "Uncle... you... I'm not alive anymore." As he said that, he was about to get up and crash into the pillar.
An Ning quickly stopped him, "Madam...Madam..."
Chen Jin cried loudly, sat on the ground and was hugged by An Ning, without any image. "I am a noble daughter of the royal family, the princess named by the uncle's father... But... I was actually used to compare with such a lowly person... Husband, father... I will not live anymore..."
Princess Ruyang's eyes also turned red, and she knelt down and hurriedly supported Chen Jin and said, "Don't do this, cousin..." As she said that, she actually started crying, "Father doesn't mean that..."
"I actually insulted me so much in front of my uncle... I won't live anymore..." Although he shouted that he wouldn't live anymore, Chen Jin lay in An Ning's arms and didn't move.
This behavior scared Emperor Cheng and Concubine Lu. No one expected Chen Jin to be like this. An Ning shouted loudly, "Madam, don't seek death...Madam... Oh my God, Marquis, Prince, once you are not here, someone will bully Mrs....Madam, don't bump into..."
An Ning's voice was not small, and it was directly outside the palace.
Emperor Cheng's expression darkened and he pushed Concubine Lu away. If Chen Jin's behavior was spread outside, the royal families would probably not be on his side. He could not do anything to Chu Xiuming, so he insisted on Concubine Lu to slap Chen Jin, but he didn't expect that Chen Jin would not have any face, just like a shrew.
In fact, Emperor Cheng didn't expect Chen Jin to make trouble. Chen Jin was obviously here to be a hostage in the current situation. Not to mention just verbally, the palace servants were neglected. If it were someone else, they were afraid that they would endure it. Chen Jin was not willing to endure it at all, and he used the tricks of crying, making a fuss and hanging himself.
Even now, she didn't even make a fuss, and even cried became peaceful. However, her attitude was very obvious, she wanted Emperor Cheng to give her an explanation, and she had an attitude of not giving up until she achieved her goal. Emperor Cheng wanted to give Chen Jin a warning, but who knew that now Chen Jin seized the opportunity to make a fuss.
Emperor Cheng angrily scolded, "Enough!"
Others were afraid of Emperor Cheng, but Chen Jin was not afraid. Hearing this, he suddenly shouted, "Husband... I want to go back to the border town. Husband, you said that the emperor and uncle will protect me... Father disappeared. You guarded the border for the sake of the celestial ritual and for stability, you sent me here... Wuwu Husband..."
Emperor Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Concubine Lu goes to apologize to Chen Jin."
Concubine Lu didn't dare to make trouble at this time and quickly said, "Madam Hou, it's a concubine, not..."
"Wuwu..." Chen Jin lay in An Ning's arms and ignored him, and had no intention of stopping when he saw it.
Emperor Cheng looked at Princess Ruyang, but saw Princess Ruyang comforting Chen Jin while crying. She didn't notice at all. Li Fu hurried to help Chen Jin, but he didn't dare to use force. With An Ning blocked, Li Fu couldn't move at all. Concubine Lu glanced at him and wanted to help Chen Jin. Who knew that when she met Chen Jin, Chen Jin shouted in pain, and then covered the place where he was touched. Although he didn't say it, he was very clear about the intention to show it.
Because Chen Jin's performance was so real, even Emperor Cheng glared at Concubine Lu.
Concubine Lu really has no choice but to be able to say that she can get to where she is today because she has stepped on many people. The fight between women is not simple. They all kill people without blood, and even used the method of false accusation. Now Chen Jin's false accusation is so simple, but at this time, it is really effective.
To be continued...
