"I can't bear to see him do anything, and I don't know him well. What do you think he meant by what he just said?"

Chu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows, "Princess, could it be that you have forgotten such a big thing?"

What's the big deal?

Chen Jingxi chuckled, "No, no, I was just testing your memory, Your Highness. I was afraid you'd forgotten. After all, you haven't been home for many years."

"snort!"

Seeing his angry look, Chen Jingxi stopped joking and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, these three people suddenly came to visit today. Is it related to the assassin who came along?"

After hearing this, Chu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Oh! What does the princess think about this?"

Chen Jingxi frowned slightly. She never believed in coincidences. Why did they go out today and encounter assassins, and then they came to visit? Even a fool could tell that there was something fishy going on.

"What else can you do? You've caught an assassin. If you torture him severely, you'll know the truth."

Chu Jinghuai continued to ask: "What should we do if we know the truth?"

"Retaliate if you have grievances, and take revenge if you have hatred." Chen Jingxi's eyes were fierce. She didn't want to be a kind person. Since others wanted to kill her, she would naturally have to pay back.

Chu Jinghuai chuckled and said, "The princess is quite straightforward. She's not afraid of getting into trouble."

"Is being afraid useful? I didn't provoke them in the first place, but they still want to kill me."

Chen Jingxi glanced at him and continued, "Is your Highness afraid? Or do you think this princess is a troublemaker and want to change her?"

Chu Jinghuai stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, curling his lips and smiling: "Princess is so smart, how can I bear to let her go? Even if Princess has pierced the sky, I have the ability to make up for it for you."

Chen Jingxi smiled fakely. This guy wanted to strangle her to death this morning, and now he thought that if she said a few nice words to him, she would believe him.

She was about to speak when he suddenly spoke again: "Chen Jingxi, you are not allowed to tarnish my reputation again."

Chen Jingxi pounded his chest and said shyly, "Your Highness, you're so annoying. I'm doing this for your own good. If it weren't for me, would they have been able to leave without asking any questions?"

Chu Jinghuai's mouth twitched. Indeed, after hearing her nonsense, their interest was completely focused on her, and he was cooperating with her invisibly.

"Ahem, don't speak in that tone next time. It makes you seem so pretentious."

When Chen Jingxi heard this, he kicked hard with his foot and turned away.

Chu Jinghuai half-bent his body, his face twisted, and squeezed out a few words from his mouth: "Chen Jingxi, you damn woman."

Chen Jingxi returned to the yard in a huff. That damn scumbag, she helped him, but not only didn't say thank you, he even dared to call her delicate and artificial. He should be kicked to death.

After drinking a few glasses of water, Chen Jingxi calmed down, remembered the important thing Chu Jinghuai had just said, and called Chunmei.

Chunmei knew that she had forgotten a lot of things after falling from the attic, so she didn't find it strange to hear her ask this and immediately told her what she knew.

After listening to this, Chen Jingxi nodded. It turned out to be the palace banquet "Spring Banquet". The royal family would hold corresponding banquets in different seasons to enjoy the scenery and landscapes of different seasons.

This year is the imperial examination held once every three years. If I can gain the emperor's favor before the examination, I might be able to get a good job in the future.

Chen Jingxi thought that when the time comes, she can just eat and drink well, and enjoy some singing and dancing.

Anyway, she doesn't have to curry favor with anyone. When she thinks of this, she suddenly feels that there are many benefits to marrying Chu Jinghuai.

After learning about the Spring Banquet, Chen Jingxi asked about the three princes who were visiting today.

Chunmei pondered for a moment before saying, "Prince Rong is the Empress's only son and the most noble of the many princes. Princess, you must be careful in the future and never offend Prince Rong."

"Prince Jin is the son of Consort Chen, but Consort Chen died shortly after giving birth to Prince Jin."

She paused and continued, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is a very good person. He never beats or scolds the palace maids or eunuchs. As for the Ninth Prince..."

"The Ninth Prince is the only prince who has not yet been crowned a king and has left the palace to build his own residence. He is also the son of the most favored Concubine Qin."

"I heard that on the day of his birth, auspicious signs descended from heaven. The peonies in Minxiu Palace blossomed overnight, and news of victory came from the border. The emperor doted on him."

"What about Chu Jinghuai?"

When she asked this, Chunmei complained, "Princess, how could you even forget the prince's identity?"

Chen Jingxi chuckled: "I haven't forgotten. I still know that he is the Prince of Su, the God of War, and Chu Jinghuai. I just forgot a little bit. Oh, tell me quickly!"

Chunmei sighed and said, "Our prince is the son of Consort De, and he is also the most powerful prince in Daxia. He joined the army to fight at the age of thirteen."

Hearing this, Chen Jingxi frowned. Going to the battlefield at the age of thirteen?

In modern times, a child of around thirteen years old is just a junior high school student, but he had to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Chen Jingxi suddenly felt sorry for the thirteen-year-old child.

But looking at his arrogant look now, he probably hasn't suffered any psychological trauma.

Chunmei glanced at Chen Jingxi and whispered, "Princess, I think Concubine De doesn't like the prince."

"I don't like the prince, why?" Isn't it true that in this harem, a mother's status is determined by her son? Defei is pregnant with Chu Jing's precious baby, so shouldn't she keep it in her mouth for fear of it melting? Isn't this the case?

"I don't know. It's not that Concubine De doesn't like you, it's that she doesn't care. Over the years, whether the prince was victorious or injured, Concubine De has always been in Jin'an Palace and has never appeared."

Chen Jingxi nodded. Did Concubine De really dislike Chu Jinghuai? Perhaps it was just a trick used by the two of them.

After hearing this, Chen Jingxi also understood the general idea that Prince Rong was the legitimate son of the Empress and the first heir to the throne.

Prince Jin seems to have no desires or demands, but this is often the biggest pitfall. When his mother, Concubine Chen, heard about it, she felt very upset.

Although she is dead now, history tells us that anyone who is given the title of Chen is most likely the emperor's true love.

A lover who lives forever in memory is absolutely destructive.

Chu Jinghuai has made it this far by his own efforts, and he is a threat to everyone. It would be fine if he had always stayed in the border, but now that he is back, he will inevitably be caught up in this vortex.

If he intended to fight for that position, if he succeeded, he would get the position of queen for free. If he failed, he would be the first to be beheaded.

Chen Jingxi touched his neck. If it was chopped off, it would be such an ugly death.

No, she still likes the head to hang properly on the body.

What should she do? She suddenly didn't want to die young again. She wished Chu Jinghuai was a lazy prince.

Chunmei saw that she looked distressed after hearing this, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Jingxi asked, "Chunmei, what do you think would happen if I were divorced?"
