Chapter 4
Chen Qi is at a good age and is beautiful. Chen Jin is also cute and has a tight age. His face is flushed and his eyes are wet. Although his color is not as good as his other daughters, his almond eyes make people feel innocent and beautiful.
Princess Rui is also very beautiful, but she usually looks dignified and less gentle, but she is actually amazing at this time.
"What's this?" King Rui walked in and asked.
In fact, Princess Rui had known the time when King Rui came, so Chen Qi and Shen Jin quickly separated, as if they were a little embarrassed to shout, "Father."
"Haha." King Rui was not angry and sat down next to Princess Rui and said, "You guys sit down too."
Chen Qi and Shen Jin sat down. Seeing that the two daughters were a little nervous, King Rui smiled and asked, "What were you doing just now?"
"Girl girl embroidered a handkerchief for me." Princess Rui took the initiative to hand over the handkerchief, then pointed at Heye and Hongli to show it to King Rui, "What did the prince see?"
I don’t know how many treasures King Rui has seen. Chen Jinxiu’s things are naturally not as good as the embroiderer who makes a living with it, or even the ones of ordinary people. However, Chen Jin is less than ten years old and has such an identity, which is quite good. Even the oldest Chen Qi is not as good as her. "Well... I think these lotus leaves and fish are a little fatter?"
"Look, my father said that too." Chen Qi poked Chen Jin and smiled, "I just said that my sister doesn't want it."
King Rui smiled and said, "It's a good embroidery, but don't be tired."
Chen Jin was used to being ignored by King Rui. He suddenly heard this sentence and said blushingly, "Father, I'll make something for you too."
King Rui was stunned for a moment. No daughter had ever made anything for him. When he saw Chen Jin's face full of anticipation and nervousness, he smiled and said, "Okay."
Princess Rui smiled and said, "It's still the kind girl Jin girl."
Chen Qi said, "Sister, don't forget mine."
"I won't forget it." Chen Jin hugged Chen Qi's side and promised, "Sister is the best."
"So good." Chen Qi looked at King Rui with some smugness. This way, King Rui loved him even more. After all, he was just such a legitimate daughter.
Princess Rui's two sons are usually in the palace, and even after coming back from holiday, they live in the front yard, so there are only four of them when they are eating, so they are not served by servants. However, Chen Qi has been taking care of Chen Jin. Chen Jin is very cute when eating. She ate in small mouthfuls, and her posture is very regular, but it makes people feel comfortable and have a big appetite. Even King Rui uses an extra bowl of porridge.
After using breakfast, Chen Qi took Chen Jin to class. King Rui specially invited a teacher for them, not asking them to be talented women, but they should know the minimum understanding.
Because he didn't have to go to court, King Rui was worried about the scene he saw when he entered the door, and couldn't help but grab Princess Rui's hand. Princess Rui's face turned red and lowered her head slightly, with the charm she didn't usually have.
The person serving in the room also quietly left with a wink. King Rui couldn't help but pull Princess Rui to intimate, but Princess Rui did not refuse...
Chen Zi did not come today, but Chen Jing brought her sister Chen Rong. Chen Rong is the youngest, but her husband said that she is very talented in the piano, so she focuses on these two aspects to learn.
Chen Jing saw Chen Qi and Shen Jin coming together, her eyes darkened, but she immediately smiled and shouted, "Big sister, third sister."
Chen Rong also finished calling with Chen Jing and sat aside to watch the piano score. Although she was young, she felt a bit noble like a talented woman.
The things that several people learned were different, and the worst ones were Chen Jin and Shen Zi. However, Chen Zi was beautiful, so Chen Jin was useless. Although the teacher in the past did not deliberately make things difficult for Chen Jin, he was somewhat uneasy. However, today I was a little surprised when I saw Chen Qi bringing her over in person, but soon returned to normal.
At noon, Chen Jin did not follow Chen Qi to the main courtyard anymore. Concubine Chen was waiting for her in the courtyard. When she saw her daughter's face, she smiled and said softly, "Why are you walking so fast and you're sweating." As she said that, she helped Chen Jin wipe her forehead with a handkerchief.
"Mother." Chen Jin's eyes were bright and his face was red, which was particularly cute.
Concubine Chen originally wanted to ask a few questions, but when she saw her daughter like this, she understood in her heart. She pulled her daughter into the house and asked someone to bring warm water to clean Chen Jin.
"Mother..." Chen Jinqing finished washing and approached Concubine Chen.
Concubine Chen also brought water to her mouth like she did when she was a child. Although Chen Jin finished drinking it, she still said, "Why is it warm?"
"How can I drink cold when I just came back?" Chen Fangfu felt sorry for Chen Jin, but he also paid special attention to Chen Jin's body, "Let's have a meal."
"Yeah." Chen Jin responded. The food here is naturally not as rich as the main courtyard, but it is not bad. Anyway, Chen Jin thought that there were fish, meat, vegetables and soup, and the taste was pretty good. No matter how unpopular Concubine Chen was, she gave birth to a daughter for King Rui and was a concubine, so she didn't dare to be lazy in the kitchen.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Chen Jin feels that today is a little different from the past, and it seems that the taste is more to her taste.
Chen Jin knew in his heart that it was probably related to the things that Princess Rui and King Rui sent yesterday, but she felt that it was nothing. She had never deducted them in the kitchen before, and they all followed the rules. However, they did what they really wanted to eat and say hello to the kitchen, and they also made it for them, but now they were just more attentive.
After dinner, Concubine Chen took Chen Jin to walk around the small yard for a few times, and then she was asked to go back to the house to rest. Because King Rui hadn't been to this yard for a long time, Chen Jin sometimes pulled his mother to sleep with him, and Concubine Chen also indulged him. Today, the mother and daughter were lying on the bed. Chen Jin whispered to Concubine Chen about the matter in the main yard.
Concubine Chen touched Chen Jin's head and said, "Since the princess is good to you, do you know that you have to respect the princess well?"
"I know." Chen Jin said, "I want to make a smear of my mother's forehead."
"Then do it." Concubine Chen said softly, "Mom will teach you slowly."
"And my sister's purse." Chen Jin muttered with her eyes closed.
"Okay." Concubine Chen smiled, "Mother still has a very beautiful piece of material, and I will bring it to you when the time comes."
"And the father's..." Chen Jin was a little confused and almost fell asleep.
"Okay." Concubine Chen patted her daughter sideways and said, "Sleep and talk about it when you wake up."
"Yeah." Chen Jin then felt relieved to go to bed.
Cuixi took advantage of Princess Rui's bathing and had already told the story of Chen Fangfei's courtyard. Princess Rui was satisfied. She didn't want to raise a ungrateful wolf, "No need to comb it, just pick it up a little."
"Yes." Cui Xi served Princess Rui well, so she helped Princess Rui out.
King Rui finished washing up, and when he saw Princess Rui, he took the initiative to come forward and help her sit at the table. The maid brought the food. King Rui rarely served a bowl of soup for Princess Rui.
Princess Rui also picked up the dishes that King Rui liked for him, and the two of them were even closer to each other than when they were newlywed.
After using the stuff, King Rui took a lunch break from Princess Rui. When he lay on the bed, Princess Rui said, "Prince, I will take the girl Jin to the Yongle Marquis' Mansion in a few days."
"Just decide." It's best for men to talk when they have enough food and drink.
"The second girl is outstanding, the fourth girl is also famous, and the fifth girl is still young, so she is not in a hurry, but Jin girl... But she is the most well-behaved and sensible, but this is not good. We tell people openly that we have to take her out to see more people and then choose to marry him." Princess Rui said with a gentle voice, "You also know that I am not in good spirits every summer. Jin girl can take care of me even if she is sensible. I am afraid I can't take care of me if I take a few more girls."
"I know you." King Rui said, "We have been married for so many years, and you have taken care of the backyard well, don't worry."
King Rui knew that Princess Rui said so much because he was afraid that he would feel partial. However, King Rui had never thought so. He also felt that the three daughters born by Xu would not have to worry about marrying, but the third daughter... was really not outstanding enough. It was right for the princess to plan more for her.
"Also, Prince, you said that when your daughter gets married, how much money is more suitable for a dowry?" Princess Rui asked, "Qi'er is the legitimate daughter, so you have to have more."
King Rui not only didn't feel that something was wrong, but he also agreed in his heart. Besides, the eldest daughter married a family that was not ordinary, and the dowry was less, but she would be laughed at. After thinking for a while, she said, "There will be a lot of rewards in the palace at that time, but my daughters are all princesses, so it's not good to look good if they are too few. Qi'er is the legitimate daughter, so it's only 50,000 taels, and the remaining four girls are only 30,000 taels."
"Yeah." Princess Rui was satisfied, "You don't have to worry about Qi'er, but Eryatou and Jinyatou started preparing early."
"Just make the decision." King Rui smiled.
Princess Rui stopped talking. Although it was only 30,000 taels, the things that could be bought were different. The 30,000 taels of antique fabrics were very different from the 30,000 taels of fertile land shops. Princess Rui didn't want her daughter to marry, so she asked the three daughters who were born by Xu to act obedient in front of the prince all day long, so she praised Shen Jin. It seems that Concubine Chen knew about it, but she did not tell Shen Jin. Instead, she asked Shen Jin to be filial to herself. This is the real smart person.
And Xu, now he is jumping around, and when she cries in the future.
So no matter how Concubine Xu shows off or snatches King Rui, Princess Rui never gets angry because she doesn't take Concubine Xu seriously. The opponent is not the same level, but also a melancholy thing.
King Rui has been staying with Princess Rui for the past few days. Xu can't sit still, but it's hard to go openly. He just sent his three daughters to ask them to pay their respects to Princess Rui in the morning.
When he didn't see it, King Rui didn't feel anything, but when he saw it suddenly, he suddenly thought that for so long, except for his eldest daughter and third daughter, he came to Princess Rui to pay tribute every day. This was the first time Xu's three daughters came. When he thought about it, he frowned and felt that Xu was too ignorant.
Princess Rui didn't care at all, and even ordered someone to prepare what Chen Zi and the others like to eat. Princess Rui heard that Princess Rui remembered it well, but sighed that she was indeed married and married to a virtuous person. "Don't you come to pay tribute to the princess on weekdays?"
As soon as Chen Zi and the others said, Princess Rui said, "I don't let them come. They are all when they grow up. Sleeping more is the main thing." After that, she also angrily glanced at King Rui, "Don't scare the children."
Seeing Prince Rui like this, her dissatisfaction became deeper and deeper. Chen Jin lowered her head and hugged aside, feeling that the most powerful person in the palace was Prince Rui. Just as my mother said, as long as Prince Rui liked it, it didn't matter even if Prince Rui didn't like it. Moreover, although Xu was glorious, she was still suppressed by Prince Rui. This was not only a matter of identity, but also in terms of talent.
