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...
When Chen Jingxi arrived at the main hall, he saw two people eating voraciously.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly."
"Why are you stealing from me? Do you have any sense of loyalty? You're still trying to steal from me for just this little bit of food."
"You're the one who eats all this. What's wrong with me eating some?"
"I won't give you any food, so what? Who told you to lie to me? You're clearly a prince, but you lied to me that you were a captain."
"That's your own stupidity."
"You are stupid, your whole family is stupid."
"Hahaha! I told you you're stupid, but you don't even admit it. You're even cursing yourself."
"I'm sick, scolding myself."
"You're married to my second brother, so you and I are family."
Nan Xing's face was puffed up, "That doesn't count."
"Didn't you say you slept with my second brother?"
"Ahem!" Chen Jingxi felt that if she continued listening, she would see scenes that were not suitable for children.
The two turned around and saw Chen Jingxi and Chu Jinghuai standing not far away. Chu Jingyue immediately burst into tears and said, "Third Emperor's wife, I see you now. Third Emperor doesn't treat me as a human being."
Chu Jinghuai said bluntly, "Chu Jingyue, put away your disgusting tears. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will throw you out."
Chu Jingyue glared at him and ate the pastry in his hand.
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Jingyue, I heard that you were on a hunger strike. What's going on?"
"They gave me some pig food to eat, but I couldn't eat it."
Chu Jinghuai snorted coldly, "As a surrendered soldier, you're lucky to have something to eat. You're so picky. What qualifications do you have to be so picky?"
"I'm the prince of a great country. Even if I'm the loser, I'm still your brother, right? Third brother, aren't you too cruel? Don't you recognize your relatives?"
"Don't give me any nonsense, just get out of here after you finish eating."
Chu Jingyue's eyes lit up, "Third brother, are you going to let me go?"
Chu Jinghuai didn't say anything, but he agreed.
Chu Jingyue sat down and said, "Then I won't leave. The palace is too boring. It's so interesting here, isn't it, Second Princess?"
Chen Jingxi and Chu Jinghuai looked at Nanxing who was standing aside. The girl was thin, with dust all over her face. She wore a hat askew on her head and held a steamed bun in her hand, revealing a row of snow-white teeth. Her eyes were dark and very smart.
"Sister, I've seen you before."
Chen Jingxi was surprised. After thinking about it, she couldn't remember which lady from a noble family this was. Also, when did Chu Jingxun get married? Why hadn't they heard about it?
"I wonder what your name is, Miss... Second Princess? Where have you seen me?"
"Sister, just call me Nanxing. That day when I first arrived in the capital, you were riding on a horse, looking so majestic. I even greeted you."
Chen Jingxi thought for a while before she remembered the gorgeous carriage she and Jiang Xiwan encountered at the city gate when they returned from horse racing outside the city last year.
At that time, she felt that the voice of the person in the carriage was familiar. It turned out to be Chu Jingxun, and the girl was Nanxing in front of her.
"How did Miss Nanxing know the second prince?" Chu Jinghuai asked.
Nan Xing smiled and said, "You two are really brothers. You all asked the same question. Tell your brother how I know that taciturn guy."
Chu Jingyue recounted her tragic story.
Chen Jingxi laughed after hearing this, "Nanxing, aren't you afraid of picking up a bad guy?"
"I didn't want to save him at first, but he was so handsome. I walked two miles and then went back to drag him home. Do you understand how that felt?"
"I understand!" Chen Jingxi smiled obscenely. It was hard not to have dirty thoughts about Chu Jingxun's looks.
Chu Jinghuai's cold voice came from above her head, "Princess, what do you know?"
Chen Jingxi turned around, stamped her feet, and lightly hit his chest, "Oh, Prince, you are so annoying. Why are you interrupting me from listening to my story?"
Chu Jinghuai's expression froze instantly.
Nan Xing covered her mouth and whispered, "Your third sister-in-law is so gentle and beautiful."
Chu Jingyue's mouth twitched, "You call this gentleness."
Nanxing nodded heavily.
Chen Jingxi had some understanding of this petty man. If she showed any improper thoughts about other men, he would definitely be jealous for a few days.
In the end, she had to coax him and nip his jealousy in the bud.
Chen Jingxi continued to ask, "After you saved the Second Emperor, did you ask him to marry you?"
"Ahem, Princess, that's not how you pledge your love to me," Chu Jinghuai reminded her. Although he and his second brother were political enemies, they were brothers after all. For such a small favor, it would be too cheap for a prince to pledge his love to her. It also made the men of the Chu family seem useless.
Nan Xing waved her hand and said, "I didn't ask him to marry me. I thought that if I brought him back to the village, I had to give him a legitimate status. Otherwise, how would others view him?"
Chu Jinghuai and Chu Jingyue: “……???” It would be better to pledge your love to me.
Chen Jingxi blurted out, "A man still needs status? Just play around for now."
"Princess, what did you say?"
"Don't interrupt me, didn't you hear me chatting with someone?"
"Princess, what kind of man do you want to play with?"
"Where did this man come from? Isn't this Nanxing? We are already legal, how can we play?"
Chen Jingxi realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly touched Chu Jinghuai's chest and said, "How could I possibly play with a man? You are my only man. If you don't believe me, ask Han Yu."
Han Yu quickly looked away. She didn't want to betray the princess, but she couldn't lie to the prince.
Doesn't the princess play with men? She just doesn't have the chance. Last time, when Lu Ting'an invited a group of men to take a hot spring bath, the princess's eyes lit up, and she acted like a tyrant.
Now, His Royal Highness Prince Su's face, which was already dark, instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Chen Jingxi! Are you meeting someone secretly again without telling me?"
Chen Jingxi raised three fingers and said, "No, I can swear if you don't believe me."
Chu Jinghuai looked at him quietly.
"I swear I will never play with men again."
Chu Jinghuai's forehead was throbbing with veins. "Princess, do you mean you've played it before?"
"No, how could that be? Don't you know what I was like before? Besides, why bring him up when we're talking about the past?"
Chu Jinghuai took a few deep breaths. No matter what, she had sworn for him.
Damn it, if he knew that it was that man who wanted to seduce his princess, he would kill all his nine clans.
Nan Xing asked cautiously, "What's wrong with your third brother? He looks as ugly as if he's eaten shit. Is he going to hit us?"
Chu Jingyue covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
