Chapter 132 Making Trouble

Rong Jinchen supported his chin with one hand and played with Su Zhenzhen's small hand with the other hand. His eyes were full of affection and he was concentrating on interlocking his fingers with hers.

Su Zhenzhen looked at the birthday presents given by her parents, shook his big hand in return, and said with a smile: "By the way, isn't your uncle's fiftieth birthday coming soon?" She still seemed to have overheard Gu Heng asking Rong Jinchen about this a few days ago, but she was concentrating on reading the travel notes at the time and didn't listen carefully.

The man pursed his lips and whispered: "Well, what's wrong?" He raised his eyes to look at the girl. Su Zhenzhen was a little amused, "Husband, don't keep looking at me. I don't have any spots on my face." Is his state not right, or is her confession so lethal?

Rong Jinchen chuckled and hooked her soft palm with his calloused fingertips. "You are a beauty, more beautiful than flowers. I want to see you." She couldn't help but blush at this. What was wrong with this man? He kept flirting with her all the time?

She handed the Su Mansion brochure to Lu Wu, looked at him gently and said, "I was thinking, should we hold a banquet ourselves? We've been married for three months." Otherwise, she wouldn't be so lazy. Socializing and maintaining personal connections are compulsory courses for the mistress of the house.

Rong Jinchen looked at her solemnly and corrected her, "Qingqing, we've only been married for eighty-seven days, not even three months." She blinked guiltily and shook his arm, begging for mercy. The man continued, "Qingqing, if you want to have a party, have it. If you don't want to, don't. You don't need to please others." He worked so hard on duty, not to make Qingqing work hard. There was no reason for Qingqing to live a carefree life at home and then have to take on so many trivial matters after marrying him.

She stood up and sat in the man's arms, her two tender arms wrapped around his neck, and said delicately, "Husband, you are the best man in the world~" Su Zhenzhen knew what this man liked to hear, and she didn't hesitate to praise him. After all, it was all about seeking truth from facts. Rong Jinchen curled his lips slightly, and his slender hands touched her snow-white cheeks, very intimately, obviously enjoying it very much.

November 14th was the 50th birthday of Empress Yuanyi's elder brother, Duke Dingguo Ye Jiaping.

As the only biological brother of His Majesty's White Moonlight, Empress Yuanyi, and the only biological uncle of Crown Prince Rong Jinyou and Prince of Yan Rong Jinchen, Duke Dingguo holds a very prestigious position. Although he is not as powerful as the Prime Minister Su Qiyang, he is also a top-notch minister from aristocratic family.

The average life expectancy in the Great Qin is only forty or fifty years old, so a fiftieth birthday is indeed worth a grand celebration. His Majesty personally gave an imperial banquet today. Although he did not come in person, he asked the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to come.

Lady Dingguo was wearing imperial robes today. She looked at her only daughter with serious eyes, "Xuan'er, you must remember that His Royal Highness Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness Princess of Yan will be here today. Don't do anything that will bring shame to your parents, otherwise you will be sent to a temple to become a nun. His Majesty's decree has been issued. Any attempt to interfere in the affairs of His Royal Highness Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness Princess of Yan would be a contempt for the imperial power. Do you understand?" Ye Yixuan's face turned pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice trembled, "Mother, are you really so cruel?" She didn't plan to do anything else.

Although her second cousin was good, she was more reluctant to give up her own wealth and glory. How could a man's power be more important? The most important reason she fell in love with her second cousin was because he was a prince and he was good-looking.

Ye Yixuan is the daughter of a noble family who received education. Even though she was devastated by the breakup and found it hard to accept for a while, more than half a year has passed and she has finally gotten over it.

If it weren't for her second cousin personally begging His Majesty to be with that woman forever, she wouldn't have given up so quickly.

But she didn't want to be accused of disrespecting the imperial power. At the very least, she would become a nun, and at worst, her life would be in danger. She didn't love her second cousin to the point of risking her life.

Moreover, Ye Yixuan was also a little scared. The second cousin in her imagination was different from the real one. The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Fu'an, the Prince of Jin's maternal family, was taken into the emperor's harem as a concubine by her second cousin because she said a few words that she shouldn't have said.

She still had self-awareness. Her second cousin had no feelings for her at all, so she didn't want to enter the palace to be a concubine.

Ye Yixuan always felt that there was something weird between her young and beautiful niece and her uncle, but she didn't want it. If it weren't for her love for her second cousin, she would have disdained to be a concubine.

How could she not know that her mother had been busy looking for a marriage for her recently because her father wanted her to enter the Eastern Palace as a concubine?

Lady Dingguo, the Duke of Dingguo, said, "Xuan'er, your mother really can't bear to see you become a concubine, so you must be careful of your father today, understand?" Her daughter had always had her heart set on His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Lady Dingguo, the Duke of Dingguo, thought that His Majesty would definitely be willing to strengthen the relationship, so she indulged Xuan'er's thoughts.

But ever since His Royal Highness Prince Yan requested those two imperial edicts, she knew it was impossible. Who would have thought that the master actually wanted her daughter to enter the Eastern Palace as a concubine, the reason being that Concubine Qi had passed away and a position was vacant.

Since there is no hope with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, there must be a position with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The wife of Duke Dingguo was almost amused by him. How could her daughter be allowed to be a concubine? She herself was the principal wife and knew how much the principal wife hated concubines.

But after searching all over the capital, she found that the candidates she liked were either married or had an engagement. The only one who was a little awkward but had excellent conditions was the ex-fiancé of Princess Yan.

The wife of Duke Dingguo endured the embarrassment and asked someone to inquire privately, but before she could get any news, the man asked to be sent away and would not be back for three to five years.

Her daughter Xuan'er is already sixteen this year, how can she afford to delay? She is really worried.

Seeing her mother's gloomy expression, Ye Yixuan's face turned pale, "Mom, are you talking about Daddy..." She didn't mean that to her eldest cousin!

Besides, her eldest cousin is already 26 years old this year, a full ten years older than her! If he were four or five years older, he could be her father!

There are so many women in the East Palace, she doesn't want to compete with a bunch of women for a man! And a concubine!

If it was the Crown Princess, she could barely consider it, but after thinking about it, she knew that it was impossible.

At the gate of Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.

Su Zhenzhen was wearing a light pink gold brocade dress today, a lake blue satin cape with white fox lining, and her hair was covered with pearls and jade, making her look like a goddess. Because Rong Jinchen felt sorry for her having to wear the Zhai Fengguan to attend various occasions in the future, he specially ordered someone to reduce the weight of the Fengguan, which was still within Su Zhenzhen's tolerance range and still looked beautiful.

Rong Jinchen helped Su Zhenzhen get off the carriage and just happened to see Crown Prince Rong Jinyou greeting Duke Dingguo Ye Jiaping in front, and the Crown Princess standing beside him.

Seeing their natural and unpretentious affection, everyone was shocked. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and his wife had been married for nearly three months, yet they weren't tired of each other yet?

If a newlywed can spend a month with his wife without entering other people's yards, he can be considered a good husband.
