Chapter 66

"My cousin was joking," Chen Qi said with a smile.

Princess Ruyang's expression turned solemn when she heard this, "Then I'm going to say a few words to you. Since no one neglects you, you are married, and living for one or two days on weekdays is considered to be a filial piety to your parents. What's the reason for being pregnant but staying in Prince Rui's Mansion?"

Chen Qi's expression changed for a moment, but he knew in his heart that Princess Ruyang was talking about herself, but she was alluding to Chen Jin. If she gave in, she would point directly at Chen Jin.

Princess Chen Yang glanced at Chen Jin, who was calm and calm, and said, "Does my cousin thinks that the Yongle Marquis' Mansion is too small and can't live in a princess?"

Chen Jin swallowed the things in his mouth, held the tea again, glanced at the woman in the palace dress behind him, "Change me a cup of warm water."

The woman in the palace dress looked at Princess Ruyang. Chen Qi and Princess Chen Yang had nothing to celebrate, so when she saw Chen Jin, she spoke, "Does my cousin think that the eldest sister's tea is not good, so she doesn't want to eat it?"

"You're thinking too much." Chen Jin said, "I'm pregnant and can't drink tea." I'm afraid that Chen Jin would dare to say that Princess Chenyang was thinking too much. Princess Chenyang was spoiled and many people knew about it, and there was also a situation when she was disagreeing.

Princess Ruyang nodded slightly, and the woman in the palace dress brought the teacup and replaced the warm water for Chen Jin. Chen Jin looked at Chen Qi and asked, "Sister, do you want to change it?"

"Okay." Chen Qi smiled when he heard this, "I'm in trouble."

Another woman in the palace dress cleaned up the teacup in front of Chen Qi and also changed it.

Princess Chenyang looked at Chen Qi and said, "My cousin hasn't answered my question yet."

After changing to the warm water, Chen Jin took a sip and said no more. With Princess Rui there, she didn't need to say too much.

Sure enough, Princess Rui spoke, "Ru Yang asked the wrong person today. It was just the prince's idea that keeping the children in the mansion is just the prince's idea. The children are filial. You also know that your uncle is like this. How can a junior person go against the wishes of his parents?" Then he looked at Mrs. Yongle, "When the prince is getting better, let the prince come to your mansion to apologize in person."

"It's all in-laws, and the princess is too polite." Mrs. Yongle Hou said quickly.

Princess Rui looked at Princess Ruyang and said, "You know that the house is full of princes. Even if I can't refute it, why not Ruyang go and talk to your uncle?"

Princess Ruyang tightened her hand holding the veil. Princess Rui said so little, "The prince is just going to make the decision on my family affairs. What qualifications do you, an outsider, have you interfere?

Chen Jin put down the cup, took a tangerine and pinched it in his hand and said, "Didn't my cousin just come back?"

Princess Ruyang's face changed and she saw Chen Jin's face full of confusion, "How did you know that my sister has been living in Prince Rui's Mansion since she was pregnant?"

Many wives present either wiped the corners of their mouths with a veil, or drank with tea, and covered the smiles at the corners of their mouths. Princess Ruyang really shot herself in the foot, but looking at Mrs. Yongning Bo's appearance, I think nothing happened to Yongning Bo.

However, thinking of Princess Ruyang's situation in response to Mrs. Yongning from the beginning, everyone was even more sure of this. What Emperor Cheng summoned Princess Ruyang and the Prince Concubine to come back for? Everyone had speculations in their hearts. However, because Bo Yongning has no news yet, he has been reluctant to post it. Now it seems that he can talk to his family when he goes back.

No matter how you look at it now, Mrs. Yongning is more confident than Princess Ruyang.

Princess Zhaoyang also heard it badly and said, "By the way, my cousin doesn't know why my cousin's defeated the pirates? The little pirate actually broke the myth of Yongning Bo's undefeated."

"My cousin all said it was a myth." Chen Jin said for granted, "Of course it is unreliable."

Princess Zhaoyang bit her lower lip and said with aggrieved face, "Cousin, you know that I don't mean that, but I'm just worried about my cousin's husband and the people of Fujian."

Chen Jin looked at Princess Zhaoyang in surprise, her almond eyes became particularly round and there was water inside, "I don't worry about my husband, what are you worried about, cousin?"

As soon as these words came out, Princess Zhaoyang's face changed drastically. She covered her face with a veil and started crying in a low voice. Princess Chenyang said angrily, "My cousin is so rude. Sister is just asking, you are slandering your sister so much."

Chen Jin became even more confused. He looked around and bit his lower lip with innocent and puzzled face, "But... what did I say?"

Yes, what did Chen Jin say? It was just that Princess Zhaoyang said she was worried about Yongning, and Chen Jin asked me, "I am not worried about my wife, cousin, what are you worried about?" After all, Princess Zhaoyang said the wrong thing, and now she seems to be out of rules when she cries.

"Cousin Sister." Chen Jin also said with tears in his eyes, "I really don't know why I messed with my two cousins."

Before Princess Ruyang could speak, Chen Jin sniffed, held back tears and stood up on the table, holding the back of her waist with one hand and stroking her stomach with the other, looking more pitiful, and bowed to Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chenyang, "I said the wrong thing, I apologized to the two princesses here."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Ruyang said sternly, "Zhaoyang, Chenyang, you two won't apologize to your cousin. I'll let someone send you back when I'm making trouble."

Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chenyang bit their lower lip, stood up and saluted Chen Jin, "It's ours, it's not, cousin, don't be accustomed to it."

Chen Jin sighed, held An Ning's hand and said, "Forget it, they are all their own family, I am also a sister." He returned to his seat after that.

Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Chenyang were full of humiliation. After sitting down, she felt ashamed to see others. She lowered her head and stopped talking. Princess Ruyang said, "Don't take it to heart, cousin."

"It's okay." Chen Jin leaned on the chair and just smiled when he heard this, "The two cousins ​​are still young."

As soon as these words were said, they slapped the two princesses in the face. Zhaoyang and Chenyang were only less than a year younger than Chen Jin.

Princess Ruyang thought of today's purpose, swallowed this breath, glared at Chen Yang who wanted to speak, and then said, "By the way, my cousin hasn't told me what happened to Yongning Bo's defeat? Are those pirates really that powerful?"

"Ah?" Chen Jin frowned and thought for a while, "But has new news in the palace?"

Princess Ruyang looked at Chen Jin and felt that she was pretending to be stupid and said, "Isn't it already spread throughout the capital?"

"Oh, rumors, that's unreliable." Chen Jin then said, "They said that my husband looked like Zhong Kui."

The person who knew about Yongning Bo's rumors couldn't help laughing.

Chen Jin looked at Princess Ruyang with a serious face and said, "Cousin, people outside can talk nonsense about such things, but cousin cannot be a princess. Since we are royal families, while enjoying wealth and prosperity, every word and action should be the expression of the world. What should I do if my cousin's words are spread today and people believe it is true? Not to mention anything else, what if someone says that my cousin lied about the war?"

Princess Ruyang said, "My cousin said too seriously. I just asked one question."

Chen Jin smiled shyly when he heard this, "I'm thinking too much. I've been thinking about it all the time after I'm pregnant, but my cousin should pay more attention."

Princess Ruyang felt so frustrated that she took a few sips of water before she could slow down. She looked at Princess Rui and said, "My cousin is really good at speaking. I am afraid that among the prince's children, I, the third cousin, is the smartest."

This is obviously a provocation. Princess Rui smiled and said, "On weekdays, Girl Jin doesn't speak much. It's because she has met Ru Yang today that she has said so much."

"Yes, I felt kind when I saw my cousin." Chen Jin said with a smile.

Princess Ruyang narrowed her eyes and said, "I also feel that my cousin is kind, but it's a pity that I and my husband are leaving Beijing these few days."

It was the first time that Princess Zhaoyang knew about it and asked, "Where is the eldest sister going? She has just returned not long ago."

"It was the father's order." Princess Ruyang said, "I was about to ask my cousin, I don't know what the environment in the border town is? Do you need to prepare anything?"

"The environment is good." Chen Jin said with a smile as if he felt it, "I think it's good anyway."

"What are the big sister doing in the border town?" Princess Chenyang asked.

Princess Ruyang sighed, with a little helplessness and regret, but looked at Chen Jin and said, "Boy Yongning has been missing for so long, I don't know how to live or die. There are barbarians on the border town who are eyeing him. There are no one in charge in the border town. I'm afraid it's not good. My father thinks that the prince consort is still good, so he let the prince consort try it, so I came to find my cousin today to seek the scriptures."

"Oh." Chen Jin said, "Actually, there is no shortage of anything in the border town. If my cousin wants to go, it is better to bring more medicinal materials." Chen Jin thought for a while, and thought that Chu Xiuyuan would like medicinal materials, and would not bother Princess Teruyang to take over and take over the management. "There are also shortages of war horses, and there are food, supplies and other things. I don't know much about the rest. I don't go out very much." Speaking of the last sentence, Chen Jin's face was not blushing and his heart was not beating, just like to be honest.

Chen Qi even glanced at Chen Jin slightly, and didn't know who was showing off in the mansion a few days ago that he could go to the teahouse to hear stories every day.

Seeing Chen Jin say it so easily, Princess Ruyang's heart was shocked and couldn't believe it. "I heard that Uncle Yongning's younger brother is still in the border town. I wonder if there is any news for my cousin to send him? I will just send it to my cousin."

"Then I'll trouble my cousin. I'll go back and pack some things, and I'll help me deliver them at that time." Chen Jin said, "But the people there are so tough, so it's better for me to bring more guards."

Princess Ruyang suddenly felt that Chen Jin was a fool. How could she feel that Chen Jin was very thoughtful? Thinking of what Emperor Cheng said, she became much more friendly to Chen Jin, "By the way, I heard that the army over there only recognizes the Chu family and does not recognize the court."

"How can I listen to some people talking nonsense?" Chen Jin frowned and said, "The people who say these words to you should drag them out to make a board. All the world is the king's land; the shores of the earth are the king's ministers. The cousin is too worried."

This was the same as not saying it, but Princess Ruyang felt that Chen Jin had just said sincerely, so she was just a little unhappy.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "In this way, the maid next to me has been in the border town since she was a child. I asked her to come in and talk more about the border town with my cousin. My cousin knew it in his mind and could make arrangements when packing things. If it were me, I think my cousin would have more ingredients, and it would be a bit desolate there."

Princess Ruyang always felt strange when she heard this. It seemed that Chen Jin was too enthusiastic. Could it be that she didn't understand whether she and the prince consort used to seize the military power of Yongning Bo, or did she have other support? But when she thought about it, she felt it was impossible. Princess Ruyang looked at Chen Jin's expression carefully and saw that she was full of sincerity, as if she was looking forward to Princess Ruyang passing by early.

Sure enough, Chen Jin smiled again, "When the husband is back, I will have someone to talk to after I return to the border town."

Princess Ruyang said tentatively, "I can't say that Yongning's uncle will return, so my father will let Yongning's uncle stay in Beijing."

"That's great." Chen Jin almost cheered and said with a happy face, "I don't have to separate from my sister, but my cousin is pitiful. There is not even a person to talk to."

At the end, I complained a little, "But except for these, the rest are pretty good."

Not to mention Princess Ruyang, even the ladies present felt strange in their hearts. Not only did they secretly look at Princess Rui's face, they saw Princess Rui's smile on her face, as if she was particularly satisfied with what Chen Jin said.

Princess Ruyang was even more confused. She was very similar to Emperor Cheng, and she was most suspicious and did superficial skills. She asked, "Why don't you let the maid behind you say it?"

"Oh, she doesn't know how to speak." Chen Jin complained, "If the cousin asked, she would finish it in a few words. Don't the cousin want to know carefully?"

"Is that true?" said Princess Ruyang.

Princess Chenyang said, "I just want to hear her."

Chen Jin looked at Princess Chenyang helplessly and said, "Okay, An Ning, you can talk to everyone about the border town."

"Yes." After An Ning saluted, she spoke, "Winter is colder than in the capital, with a stronger wind, and hotter summer, and nothing else."

Chen Jin looked at Princess Ruyang, "She is so hard to speak."

"Why did that cousin still keep such a person by his side?" asked Princess Ruyang.

Princess Chenyang smiled and said, "So, cousin, how about I exchange my two palace maids around you for your maid?"

"Not good." Chen Jin refused directly, "Ceise is very important."

"Yeah?" Princess Zhaoyang smiled, "Don't my cousin thinks she can't speak?"

"When did I think she can't speak?" Chen Jin asked with a confused look on his face.

Princess Ruyang asked, "Then how important is she?"

Not to mention Ru Yang and others, even others were curious. Looking at ordinary peacefulness, I couldn’t tell where the difference came from.

Chen Jin stroked his stomach and said, "Oh, I don't want to tell you."

"..." Princess Ruyang took a few sips of tea before suppressing the anger in her heart.

Princess Chenyang felt even more choked in her throat by something, and she couldn't even vomit and couldn't even swallow it.

Princess Zhaoyang tore up the handkerchief in her hand. How could anyone be so shameless and take such words for granted?

Some wives used veils to cover their smiles, and some good relationships exchanged their eyes, but they didn't want Chen Jin to sit high. The expressions and small movements of these people were all seen in their eyes, and they leaned slightly on the chair, and they stopped talking.

Chen Jin's posture was naturally comfortable, but Princess Ruyang, who was kneeling on the warm mat, felt uncomfortable, as if she had lowered Chen Jin's side. Although Chen Qi was also sitting on a high chair, she was inevitably a little restrained and was not as good as Chen Jin at all.

Princess Ruyang glanced at Princess Chenyang, and Princess Chenyang asked as if she had just discovered something, "Hey, where is the second cousin? Why aren't you here?"

Princess Zhaoyang also said, "Yes, why is there a cousin missing?"

Princess Ruyang frowned and looked at the maid behind her and said, "What should I do?"

The maid said, "I have invited the second princess to come, but the second princess refused, saying that she wanted to accompany Mrs. Zheng."

"Madam Zheng is here together." Princess Chenyang said, "My second cousin is too polite, but why did I hear that there is a conflict between the second cousin and the third cousin? Could it be..." The eyes swept to Chen Jin.

Chen Jin yawned with a veil to block the yawn. The room was warm, which made her a little sleepy, so she naturally didn't notice Princess Chenyang's eyes.
