Office worker Chen Jingxi transmigrated to become the timid and weak Princess Consort Su, who had been a living widow for three years.
A living widow, a princess consort? Isn't this the i...
The people who were happiest about the wedding at Prince Rong's Mansion turning out like this were definitely the people at Prince Jin's Mansion.
The corners of the housekeeper's mouth couldn't help but rise, "Fortunately, it wasn't our prince who married her, otherwise it would be our Jin Palace that would be embarrassed."
Chu Jingxun gently put down the chess piece in his hand and looked up at the housekeeper.
The butler understood, bowed and quietly left.
At this moment, He Zhongyang, who was sitting opposite Chu Jingxun, frowned slightly and asked, "Tuoba Yan suddenly fainted. Could it be you who did it?"
Chu Jingxun chuckled and asked, "Do you think I'm that boring?"
"Of course you have. Haven't you done a lot of boring things? How many marriage proposals have you rejected over the years?"
Over the years, whenever Chu Jingxun didn't want to marry someone, he would find ways to reject them.
This time the emperor directly issued an edict to grant the marriage, and he could no longer refuse. So when he learned that Tuoba Yan had failed to frame Chu Jinghuai, he went with the flow and let Prince Rong fall into this trap.
The servant who led Prince Rong to the west wing was their chess piece planted in Prince Rong's mansion.
When He Zhongyang found out that in order not to marry Tuoba Yan, he actually destroyed the chess piece he had raised for more than ten years.
He was so angry that he didn't come to Prince Jin's Mansion for more than ten days. There were many ways to avoid marrying that woman, but he had to use this method that hurts others and does not benefit himself.
It’s unknown how long it takes to train a good spy, and there is only one in Prince Rong’s Mansion.
After this incident, I don’t know how troublesome it will be to arrange for someone to join me in the future.
Chu Jingxun said calmly, "She's just a stupid woman. It's not worth my bothering her twice."
He Zhongyang nodded and continued, "I heard that Princess Funing returned to the capital and spoke a lot for you at Prince Rong's Mansion."
Chu Jingxun raised his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, "How do you know that the eldest princess is really speaking for me, and not using me as a cover?"
He Zhongyang was taken aback by Chu Jingxun's question, but then he realized, "Your Highness, I was inconsiderate. However, if the Princess really wants to do this, then with her support, our chances of success will be much better."
Chu Jingxun shook his head slightly. "It's probably not that easy to get the princess to support us. We still don't know the intention behind her return to the capital this time."
"Your Highness is right. The Princess's return this time isn't just to embarrass Prince Rong."
Chu Jingxun nodded and continued to study the situation on the chessboard. The two sides were divided, and there was an additional uncertain factor.
He Zhongyang added, "Prince Su should have arrived in Pingliang by now. It will take at least a month to investigate the Pingliang incident. This is the best opportunity. Your Highness should find a way to control her."
After hearing this, Chu Jingxun chuckled and said, "Controlling her? I'm afraid it's not as simple as you and I think."
"This is the first time I've heard the prince express admiration for a woman. Could it be that the prince likes women like this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jingxun's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he covered his lips and started coughing.
This time was different from usual, he just coughed a few times and then stopped.
When Chu Jingxun's coughing gradually stopped, the fingertips covering his lips showed a hint of bright red.
He Zhongyang was startled and quickly stood up, called the servants, and quickly went to get the medicine, "Your Highness."
Chu Jingxun calmly took the medicine and swallowed it, then coughed a few more times before stopping.
The servant immediately brought him clean water.
He Zhongyang was terrified watching from the side, "Your Highness, is there nothing the Imperial Physician can do?"
"So what if there is a way? What if there is no way?" Chu Jingxun waved his hand to signal the servants to leave.
He Zhongyang was speechless. How could the imperial physician cure the prince's illness?
"I know my body well, don't worry." His work is not finished yet, no one can take his life away.
——
After Tuoba Yan woke up, she heard the rumor that she fainted at the wedding because she was pregnant and couldn't stand the fatigue, so she fainted.
She was so angry that she smashed everything in the house to pieces.
"Where's the prince?"
"The prince was injured yesterday and is in his study. He said he won't see anyone."
Tuoba Yan asked, "How did he get hurt?"
"Yesterday, the guests in the front yard started a quarrel, and the prince went to mediate and accidentally got injured."
"Who dares to disrupt this princess's wedding banquet?"
"It is said that he is Princess Rong's third brother."
Tuoba Yan snorted coldly, "I knew she had bad intentions. She drugged me and even encouraged her brother to ruin my wedding. I will never let her go."
——
Prince Su's Mansion.
Chunmei rubbed Chen Jingxi's temples, "Princess, yesterday's wedding at Prince Rong's mansion was a complete mess. I've never seen such a ridiculous wedding. I thought only the women were drunk, but I didn't expect the men in the front yard to be even crazier."
Chen Jingxi smiled.
Seven days ago.
"Do we still need to invite Princess Funing?" Lu Ting'an said.
"If you don't want to be blamed, you must invite the eldest princess."
Lu Ting'an hesitated. "The eldest princess has been out of touch with worldly affairs for over a decade. Can she come?"
"It depends on your sincerity."
Lu Ting'an nodded, "Then I will go to Qianfeng Mountain to invite the princess today."
Chen Jingxi said, "There's no rush. It only takes one day to get to Qianfeng Mountain. If the princess arrives in the capital early, it will be bad."
"you mean?"
"It would be best if the Princess suddenly showed up at Prince Rong's wedding banquet."
Lu Ting'an suddenly understood what Chen Jingxi meant, "Hehe, drink hehe."
Seeing that his smile was a bit dark, Chen Jingxi couldn't help but ask, "San'er, have you thought clearly about doing this?"
Lu Ting'an said angrily, "That bastard Chu Jingshuo! My sister is devoted to him. He brought concubines into the house, and now he's marrying a princess to make her my sister's equal. My sister is such a proud person, how can she bear this? I can't sleep if I don't let this anger out."
"Princess Rong is so lucky to have a brother like you."
