Chapter 58

After Chen Qi visited Chen Rong, he did not go to find Chen Jin immediately. Instead, he went to the pavilion in the garden. The maid brought fish food. Chen Qi grabbed some of the koi in the pond and saw that all the koi in the pond gathered. Chen Qi leaned half on the wooden railing and looked at the fish that were grabbing food. She still remembered that year that they had not gotten married, and it was in this pavilion...

When Chen Jin brought An Ning over, he saw Chen Zi making tea. When he saw Chen Jin, he smiled and said, "Come on."

"Sister." Chen Jin shouted before slowly walking over.

Shuangqiao took the cushion and placed it on the stone bench. Chen Jin smiled and sat beside Chen Qi. Chen Qi smiled and said, "You are not happy today. I specially made tea with clear dew."

"Sister must have done it on purpose." Chen Jin said with a smile.

Chen Qi did not deny it, and looked at Shuangqiao and said, "Go to the kitchen to bring the things you prepared for your sister."

Shuang Qiao responded to Fushen and said, "I'll go now."

Chen Jin didn't say anything else. After Chen Qi finished brewing tea, he said with some concern, "Sister, are in a bad mood?"

Chen Qi likes to make tea but doesn’t like drinking tea, so after making it, he tastes it and puts it aside and says, “You guys can share it.”

They were talking about the maids who served. These people knew Chen Qi's temperament and cleaned up the things with quick hands and feet. Then each of them shared some of the small pot of tea. Chen Jin looked at An Ning and smiled, "You have a good taste. My sister doesn't make tea often."

"This tea was ruined by my servants. I just thought it was delicious, but I couldn't tell where it was good." An Ning said with a smile.

Chen Qi didn't care, "Where are so many things to pay attention to?"

Chen Jin said, "If anyone who asked Heytea outside to know, it would definitely feel a pity." After saying that, he laughed, "But I also think that since it is tea, it only needs a taste, as long as it tastes good, it's enough."

Chen Qi likes Chen Jin. No matter whether it is good or bad, it is not only good or bad, but whether it is good or not, whether it is suitable or not. Shun Qiao quickly brought things back. Not only did it contain fresh fruits, but also a bowl of red date cheese and sheep milk. You can tell at a glance that it was specially prepared for Chen Jin. Chen Qi couldn't taste the fishy smell in the milk, and she couldn't drink it even if she added almonds.

"Thank you sister." After Chen Jin thanked, he held the sheep's milk and started drinking in small sips.

Chen Qi's eyes fell on Chen Jin's belly, which was not yet revealed. He couldn't help but think of his undestined child. There was a little sadness in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down. After Chen Jin finished drinking the goat milk, he took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't know how you can drink something like goat milk and cow milk."

Does Chen Jin really like to drink it? If you add almonds to remove the smell of fishy smell and mix honey when it is warm, Chen Jin naturally likes to drink it. But now not only can't use almonds, but even honey cannot eat too much. Sheep milk naturally cannot be said to be very delicious. It's just because it is good to the children. However, Chen Jin cannot say these words to Chen Qi, and it is inevitable that he will show off. So he smiled, "If you have the chance, your brother-in-law and sister can go to the border town to play. I invite you to roast whole lamb. The mutton on the border town has no smell of smell. It is fresh and delicious. My sister will definitely use more."

"If you have the chance, you must go to the border town to see it." Chen Qi said with a smile.

Chen Jin nodded and pinched some walnut kernels and sprinkled them into the red date cheese. He stirred them with a spoon before he started eating it. He always felt that even the dates were not as sweet as those in the border town.

Chen Qi looked at Chen Jin's eating, and his eyes became much softer. Chen Jin always felt very enjoyable when eating, and he couldn't see that he had a lot of appetite. Chen Qi picked up some walnut kernels and started eating, and said, "I went to visit my fifth sister."

"Oh." Chen Jin swallowed the things in his mouth and looked at Chen Qi with some confusion in his eyes.

Chen Qi did not talk about Concubine Xu and Shen Jing. After all, Chen Jin was pregnant, but just said, "I didn't expect that the fifth sister would not show off on weekdays, but she was a cruel person."

Chen Jin turned his head slightly before saying, "Sister, what can't understand?"

"I just think Concubine Xu is her biological mother, and Chen Jing is also her own sister." Chen Qi breathed slowly. If it were Chen Rong who designed Chen Jin or even designed herself, Chen Qi would probably be more acceptable.

Chen Jin's eyes were a little confused. Chen Qi thought Chen Jin didn't understand, but heard Chen Jin say, "Is there any difference?"

Is there any difference? What I don’t understand now is Chen Qi. There is not much red date cheese, but just a small bowl. After Chen Jin finished eating, he put down the bowl and wiped his mouth with a veil. But he had some guesses in his heart, afraid that Concubine Xu and Shen Jing would be bad, but I think so, it was almost time. It happened to happen that King Rui had a reasonable reason, and it would be a foregone conclusion if King Rui was soft-hearted after he came back.

"Sister, can you help me solve my doubts?" Chen Qi asked softly.

Chen Jin said naturally, "But the fifth sister is also the fourth sister's real sister. At that time, the fourth sister was also preparing to sacrifice the fifth sister?"

In some people's hearts, even if they are close, they are not as important as themselves. Chen Jing and Shen Rong are just Chen Rong who has figured out Princess Rui's thoughts, which is better.

"I was so stubborn." Chen Qi slowly breathed after hearing this and said, "I just watched the fifth sister have nothing to do now, and..." So he made a mistake and sympathized with the weak, but he didn't think that the weak was not really weak.

Chen Jin had no intention of asking questions, and Chen Qi no longer said this, "My mother said that the father is coming back soon."

"It's great." Chen Jin said with joy on his face, "I don't know if my father has lost weight."

Chen Qi said, "I will know when my father comes back, but my mother wants to invite her second sister to the mansion."

Chen Jin looked at Chen Qi not understanding why he talked about this matter specifically. Chen Qi said, "Second sister has a bad temperament. You are not allowed to leave anyone by then. Now you have a child in your belly, and it will be bad if you bump into it."

"I understand." Chen Jin obediently responded, "I just hide from my second sister. I don't know how my second sister lived in the Zheng family during this period."

"I think life will not be sad before the dowry is exhausted." Chen Qi's words were sarcastic. Even after King Rui had an accident, Chen Jin sent people to the mansion every day. Chen Jin's husband even bluntly contradicted Emperor Cheng to protect his father. What about Chen Zi? He was loved by his father so much, but he didn't even send someone. He was really heartless.

Chen Jin nodded and said, "Yes."

Chen Qi is also a person with a proper attitude. Seeing Chen Jin sitting outside her for so long, he said, "It's okay to go to your room and sit down? Shuang Qiao has prepared a box of rubbishes for you."

"That's great." Chen Jin smiled, "What a Shuangqiao, if my sister hadn't left you, I really wanted to ask you to come to me."

Chen Qi did not hold Chen Jin like usual, but asked Chen Jin's maid to help her walk away. Hearing the words, "I just don't know what kind of husband I choose for Shuang Qiao. I think no one is worthy of her, so I want to ask my sister to help me think about whether there is a suitable candidate."

Chen Jin seemed to have thought about it for a while and said, "But I don't know anyone."

"I thought about letting Shuang Qiao marry far away." Chen Qi finally revealed.

Shuangqiao said, "I will not leave the young lady."

"Silly words." Chen Qi stopped and poked Shuang Qiao's eyebrows, "Do you think I really want to bear it? But in a place like Beijing, even if I pay it back for you, you are a maid in the eyes of others. You will inevitably look down on me a little bit. Those who sincerely seek it are not worthy of you."

Shuangqiao said, "Mrs...."

"Don't say more." Chen Qi interrupted Shuang Qiao's words. She treated Shuang Qiao sincerely. Shuang Qiao grew up with her and studied literature together. She was not willing to let Shuang Qiao waste her time. But she never met a suitable one. Many people in the Yongle Marquis' Mansion actually thought that Shuang Qiao was left specifically for the Prince of Yongle Hou, which inevitably had some impact on Shuang Qiao, but it would be bad if this continued.

Chen Qi did not want Shuangqiao to be a concubine for Prince Yongle, not because he did not trust Shuangqiao, but... If Shuangqiao had a child, Chen Qi would not feel that he could still trust Shuangqiao as much as he is now.

But did Shuangqiao marry at will? Chen Qi couldn't bear to let go. Some of the people who wanted to marry Shuangqiao just wanted to rely on the Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, and those sons who were in charge of the affairs were simply fantastic. They really married the sons who were in charge of the affairs. Because of her identity, those people naturally held Shuangqiao, but Shuangqiao's children in the future were all slaves.

Besides, those people are not worthy of Shuang Qiao, who can read literacy. Chen Qi sometimes feels that it was wrong to let Shuang Qiao learn together. Now Shuang Qiao's marriage has almost become Chen Qi's heart disease.

Chen Jin sighed a little when he heard this. If he brought Shuang Qiao back to the border town, he could marry someone in the army, but could Shuang Qiao be willing?

"Young Madam, I will never marry in this life." Shuangqiao had already thought about it, "I will accompany the young lady for the rest of my life and serve the young master and the girl in the future."

Chen Qi's eyes turned red and said, "No!"

Shuang Qiao stopped talking when she saw this. Chen Qi took a few deep breaths, relieved her emotions before looking at Chen Jin again and said, "I'm making my sister laugh. This girl is just a damn brain."

Chen Jin said, "Did sister show off on purpose?"

Chen Qi stopped mentioning Shuang Qiao’s marriage when he heard this, but just smiled and said, “Yes.”

The two of them returned to Moyun Courtyard and saw Concubine Chen sitting in the courtyard while the sun was getting better and making some small things. At a glance, they knew it was for the children in Chen Jin's belly. Before Chen could speak, she heard Chen Qi laughing and said, "Concubine Chen, don't blame me for disturbing me."

Concubine Chen just smiled, Chen Jin pulled Chen Qi into his room, and said to Concubine Chen, "Mother, I'm going in and talking to him."

"Yeah." Concubine Chen nodded and ordered the maid to prepare fruit spots for them to bring in for both of them, but she had no intention of going there. She continued to discuss materials for making clothes for the child. The child's skin was delicate and the threads and other things should be hidden.

Chen Jin's room was very simple, it was cleaned up very elegantly, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Chen Qi looked at the soft pads everywhere and smiled, "It's still your comfort."

"If sister likes it, just do some." Chen Jin said with a smile.

Chen Qi responded with a smile, took one and held it in his arms, and leaned back at him with a comfortable smile, "Shuang Qiao studied hard, and I would do some for my room when I go back."

"Yes." Shuang Qiao responded, and when Chen Qi had no other orders, she smiled, "I will take the gift that the young lady prepared for Mrs. Bo."

"Go." Chen Qi smiled and waved.

Anping brought the fruit and some tea in, Chen Jin glanced at it and said, "Sister, try the fruit tea made by Madam Zhao."

Chen Qi took it up and tasted it, carrying a sweet and sour unique to the fruit, "It's really good."

After Chen Jin took a drink, he asked Anping to save some for her and Shen Qi, so he let Anping go out, then kicked off his shoes, leaned against the soft couch, and took a small blanket to cover his legs.

Chen Qi looked at it and said, "Landy Girl." Although he said that, he relaxed a lot, and his body was particularly comfortable with the cushion.

"Sister, how many days will you stay?" Chen Jin rubbed his cushion and yawned slightly.

"If you are sleepy, take a rest." Chen Qi said as he looked at Chen Jin.

Chen Jin actually just got up not long after hearing this, and said, "No, I'll go to bed after I've finished lunch."

Chen Qi no longer advised him, took a piece of pastry and tasted it and said, "I will stay for a while. By the way, I haven't thanked you for the medicine you gave to my mother-in-law."

"It was prepared by the mother's mother." Chen Jin said embarrassedly, "When I go out, I give most of the medicinal materials in the mansion to my husband, so..."

Chen Qi laughed when he heard Chen Jin's answer. The depression he had lost even a lot of days. He also learned that his father was about to come back, and he was relieved. "It's okay, it won't be used anyway."

"Ah?" Chen Jin asked subconsciously, "Didn't you say you're sick?"

Chen Qi nodded and said, "Heart disease."

"Oh." Chen Jin sighed, "No wonder, heart disease requires heart medicine."

Chen Qi's words said, and she also wanted to find someone to talk to, so she started to talk about the matter in the mansion. On the day when King Rui had an accident, Prince Yongle Hou was going to accompany her to Prince Rui's mansion, but was called by Mrs. Yongle Hou. In the end, someone sent someone to send 200 taels of silver to send Chen Qi. Chen Qi did not leave any face, and threw the silver notes and took her maid away.

Who would have thought that Prince Yongle Hou chased Chen Qi on the way and accompanied Chen Qi to the palace, but Princess Rui said it and drove it back.

After hearing what his mother said, Chen Qi felt a little guilty on the way and said that he would apologize to Mrs. Yongle when he went back. However, Prince Yongle was moved by Prince Rui to truly consider himself, and he also made a lot of efforts to be able to sit in Prince Rui's Mansion.

Besides, there is the brother-in-law Yongning. Although Mrs. Yongle is his biological mother, he is not the only son. Mrs. Yongle also loves his younger son more. Especially when he knew the 200 taels of silver notes, Princess Yongle was even more guilty. Compared with the gifts that Princess Rui had carefully prepared even if something happened at home, this was no longer a matter of giving Chen Qi a face, but a slap in the face of Princess Rui's mansion.

"I'm a little anxious," Chen Qi said with a forced sorrow on his face, "Because I am the first child in the mansion, my father has loved me since he was a child... It was my father's birthday party, and even my third sister and third brother-in-law came back from the border town to celebrate his father's birthday..."

The Prince of Yongle embraced his wife into his arms. After returning home, he accompanied Chen Qi to apologize to Mrs. Yongle, and also presented the gift list prepared by Princess Rui. Who knew that Mrs. Yongle was full of anger and didn't even want to see them, or even accept the gift list.

Mrs. Yongle Hou also sent someone to pass a message, saying that he would never dare to care about the matter between the prince and the prince's wife again. Several younger brothers and sister-in-law of the prince's son, accused the two of them of getting sick and even more talked more and more. The youngest sister-in-law was always favored in front of Mrs. Yongle Hou, and inevitably got a little proud. He also said that Chen Qi would be sent to the temple to pray for Mrs. Yongle Hou!

What happened? After Yonglehou came back, he saw Prince Yonglehou and Shen Qi kneeling at the door of Mrs. Yonglehou. After knowing what happened, Yonglehou went straight into the room and slapped him on the face of Mrs. Yonglehou, without leaving any face for her, and said bluntly that everything in the Marquis of Yonglehou's mansion will be handed over to Chen Qi in the future.

Mrs. Yongle Hou thought Chen Qi would refuse or politely refuse, but she tried to get it back, but she didn't expect Chen Qi to respond in one go. Mrs. Yongle Hou had no choice but to hand over the housekeeper's affairs, but she deliberately kept it. After Chen Qi made the Yongle Hou's mansion messy, she would take the opportunity to get the housekeeper's authority back.

But he didn't know that even though Chen Qi never showed the intention of wanting a housekeeper after he got married, he was not unprepared. Those confidants of the Marquis of Yongle and those who were not ready to cooperate well, Chen Qi directly removed the person and replaced it with his own people, and completely controlled the Marquis of Yongle in two days.

Then he sent the youngest sister-in-law to the temple to pray for Mrs. Yonglehou, but the rest did not take action. Those people became honest when they saw this.
