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...
"Don't worry, grandma. Xi'er won't be bullied in the future."
Old Madam Chen patted her hands and said, "Okay, okay, now I feel relieved."
Old Madam Chen stared at her for a long time, and Chen Jingxi felt a little embarrassed by her stare.
"Xi'er, when do you and Prince Su plan to have a child?"
Chen Jingxi was choked. Relationships, no matter what era, are inseparable from the pressure of marriage and childbirth. "My prince and I are already preparing. This kind of thing can only be left to nature."
"Don't lie to me, Grandma. You haven't even consummated your marriage yet, so how can you let things take their own course? Don't you think Grandma can't see that?"
Can you even tell that? But that's true. I heard it would be very painful the first time, and she didn't behave abnormally today. "Ahem, Grandma, Xi'er is fine, and the prince is considerate of Xi'er, so he didn't..."
Old Madam Chen thought it through and it made sense. Health was the most important thing. However, she still reminded him, "Xi'er, even if you are the Princess of Su, the most important thing is an heir. As long as you have an heir, no one can challenge your position as Princess."
"Also, Prince Su is young and energetic, and he has many concubines in his palace. You have to be careful and not let those concubines get ahead of you... Do you understand?"
"Thank you for your teachings, grandma. Xier understands what you are doing." Chen Jingxi nodded. She understood.
As a veteran fan of a certain palace fighting drama, she understood it very well.
But she would never do such a stupid thing. Not to mention the sin of killing, if she was discovered, the crime of poisoning the prince and grandson would be enough to make her die eight or ten times over.
Besides, giving birth in ancient times was so dangerous, it wasn't worth it for such a scumbag. No matter how those people in his backyard gave birth, she was the principal wife and the mistress, and they had to call her mother after the baby was born.
Old Madam Chen was very pleased with her education and nodded, saying, "Good child, Grandmother knew you were sensible from a young age. Grandmother said this for your own good. Our family is blessed by the Emperor to have a princess like you. Your brother will have to rely on you in the future."
Chen Jingxi curled the corners of her lips, thinking that the old lady was being nice to her for the sake of her little grandson.
After talking with Old Madam Chen for a while, several sisters of the Chen family came over. Chen Jingxi was surrounded by them. Thinking about how Chen Jingxi fell from the attic a few days ago and was on the verge of death, but now she is fine.
Some were happy for Chen Jingxi while others were unhappy.
"Seeing that the princess is well, I feel relieved."
Chen Jingxi saw her attire and knew that this was Chen Jingtang getting married. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault."
"Sister, what do you have to worry about? She is fine now. It's all her own fault for being so stupid that a concubine can bully her. If I were in my position, I would definitely make that little bitch obedient." Chen Jingxu looked at Chen Jingxi with disdain.
"That's right, second sister is too cowardly. If third sister is the princess, we sisters can also benefit from it and won't be laughed at by Yang Ting and the others." Chen Jingxin looked at Chen Jingxu ingratiatingly.
"Third sister and fourth sister, please don't be rude. The princess and the others just spoke hastily. They didn't mean anything else. Don't blame them."
"It's nothing. We are all sisters. There is nothing we can't tell each other." Chen Jingxi smiled and spoke too quickly. She must have said a lot of things before.
For the sake of Old Madam Chen, she will not bother with them this time.
Chen Jingtang was stunned. She didn't expect Chen Jingxi to react like this. In the past, she would argue with them, and if she couldn't win, she would cry and complain to the old lady.
"Your servant greets the princess, three ladies, the master invites the princess over to have a word." A little maid came over to deliver the message.
When Chen Jingxi and the Chen sisters arrived at the front yard, they saw Chu Jinghuai sitting in the main seat and his father-in-law Chen Qiyuan standing.
Chen Jingxi was stunned. What was going on?
Chen Jingxu and Chen Jingxin looked straight at the man sitting in the upper seat, thinking to themselves: He is Prince Su Chu Jinghuai, how come he is different from the rumors.
The two suddenly realized that on the day of Chen Jingxi's wedding, they only caught a glimpse of her figure from afar and had never met her face to face.
Chu Jinghuai has been in the borderland for many years. That place has been a barbaric land since ancient times. It is said that the people there have not learned the teachings of the sages and are all barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood.
I originally thought that Chu Jinghuai was just like those people, a rough man with a beard as thick as a spear, but I didn't expect that he was such a tall and handsome man with a clear mind.
When Chen Qiyuan saw Chen Jingxi, his eyes lit up and he wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Xi'er, have you met your grandmother?"
Chen Jingxi nodded and said, "My daughter just came from her grandmother's place."
"Xi'er has always been a filial child."
After Chen Jingxi helped Chen Qiyuan sit aside, he slowly walked to Chu Jinghuai and said with an expression: What are you doing?
His Royal Highness Prince Su expressed his innocence and said he had done nothing. He glanced at his father-in-law who lowered his head slightly and was puzzled as to why his father-in-law was so afraid of him.
He had just smiled at him and felt that he was really giving him face.
Chen Qiyuan is now feeling extremely depressed. Why should he invite this living devil just for the sake of face?
He originally wanted to act like a father-in-law, but then he remembered that Chu Jinghuai had just smiled at him.
He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What did that smile mean? How had he offended him?
Chen Jingxi looked at the father-in-law and son-in-law and came to the conclusion that perhaps fathers-in-law and sons-in-law in this world just don't get along.
Just when everyone felt the atmosphere was awkward and was wondering whether to say something to change the subject.
A female voice rang out: "Master, it's time for lunch."
Chen Qiyuan reacted and chuckled, "Madam is reminding me, Your Highness, why don't we have dinner first?"
"Okay, father. I'm hungry." Chen Jingxi said first.
Chu Jinghuai originally wanted to leave, he didn't want to stay here at all.
From the moment he entered the door, no matter what he said, his father-in-law would only say "yes, yes, yes", "right, yes, yes", or ask him to drink tea, and he had already drunk a whole pot.
If he said he was leaving now, his princess would probably say something embarrassing, so he could only nod.
The group arrived at the dining room. Since it was a family dinner and there were no outsiders present, there were no separate tables. Of course, it was Prince Su himself who said that there were no separate tables.
If they had separate tables, His Royal Highness Prince Su would have to sit at the same table with his father-in-law. The thought of sitting at the same table with his father-in-law made His Royal Highness Prince Su lose his appetite.
"Your Highness, please enjoy these dishes. These dishes are all prepared by famous chefs from Jiangnan. I hope they suit your taste."
Chu Jinghuai nodded and picked up a piece of food casually with chopsticks.
Seeing His Royal Highness Prince Su finish his meal and then pick up another piece of food with his chopsticks, Chen Qiyuan finally felt relieved and started eating as well.
But Chen Jingxi didn't pay any attention to all this and just kept eating, not knowing that her father had already given her a few looks.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Jingxu suddenly spoke up, and under everyone's gaze, she put a piece of braised pork into Chu Jinghuai's bowl, "Prince brother-in-law, do you like this braised pork?"
