The dining room immediately became quiet and the atmosphere instantly became solemn. Chu Jinghuai looked at the braised pork in the bowl and his face immediately darkened.
Chen Jingxi glanced at Chen Jingxu and saw that she was looking at Chu Jinghuai with a shy and timid face.
She rolled her eyes. Although she felt that there was nothing worth admiring about this scumbag, she was very upset that Chen Jingxu was so blatantly trying to steal her girl.
"Third sister, are you trying to murder the prince and this princess?"
Chen Jingxu looked shocked.
"You said you used your chopsticks to pick up food for the prince. If you have an infectious disease, wouldn't the prince get sick if he ate the food you picked up?"
"The most important thing is that this disease could be transmitted to this princess. You said that you are guilty of murdering the royal family..."
Chen Jingxu's face turned pale instantly.
When Chu Jinghuai heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly and the corners of his lips curved deeper. Although it didn't sound like good words, for some reason he felt a little happy in his heart.
Chen Qiyuan and everyone else in the hall knelt hurriedly. "Your Highness, please forgive me. My daughter has absolutely no intention of harming you. She is also very healthy and does not have any infectious diseases. Please investigate carefully."
Wang Shi also hurriedly said, "Your Highness, my daughter is pure and innocent, and definitely does not have the infectious disease that the princess mentioned."
Then he turned to Chen Jingxi and said, "Princess, Xu'er has offended you many times in the past. Please forgive her for her young age and because she is your sister."
Chen Jingxu also said aggrievedly, "Second sister, it's Xu'er's fault. Xu'er will never dare to do it again."
Chen Jingxi sneered and looked at the way everyone was looking at her. It seemed that she was trying to excuse Chen Jingxu, but in fact she was hinting that she and Chen Jingxu had a bad relationship in the past, and she was taking revenge on her personal grudge. She was the bad person, right?
If she didn't want to appear like a shrew, she would have wanted to yell: Do you have any shame?
Forget it, I don’t want to endure it anymore.
"You seduced my husband right in front of me, the princess. And you still act so pure and innocent. The girls in the brothel would have to say they were decent women. How could you be so shameless?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jingxu almost fainted. She was an unmarried woman and was publicly accused of seducing a man. If this got out, how would she live?
The others looked at Chen Jingxi in disbelief.
Chen Jingtang looked at Chen Jingxi, who exuded a coldness, frowned slightly, bowed and said, "Princess, my third sister may have admired the prince's heroic demeanor and didn't know how to express it, so she picked up some food for him."
"I didn't have any dirty intentions, ahem, to seduce the prince, Third Sister, don't you think so?"
Chen Jingxu came back to her senses and said hurriedly, "It's Second Sister, not Princess. Xu'er only has awe for the prince and doesn't have such thoughts."
Chen Qiyuan continued, "Yes, Xi'er, you two sisters grew up together. You don't know what kind of person Xu'er is? My Chen family's family education absolutely cannot allow such a person who violates morals to appear."
Chen Jingxi smiled in her heart. If Chen Jingxu was like that, then she would be influenced by bad company. What a loving family they were.
He didn't really want to let her go. After all, he was attacked as soon as he came out of the old lady's place, and he felt uncomfortable. He turned to look at Chu Jinghuai.
She saw him picking up other dishes and eating them while looking at her with amusement, as if he wanted to see how she would respond.
This damn man, he is fighting with everyone here for his innocence, and he is just watching the show. If I had known earlier, I would have let him eat that meat and made him sick to death.
Forget it, I'll just give you a light punishment today. "Well, to avoid me being accused of mistreating my younger sister in the future, I'll let you go for now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Chen Jingxi said again: "However, Third Sister's behavior today has damaged the family's reputation. We must avoid doing such uncultured things in the future."
"As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother. This second sister of mine is also half a mother, so it's natural for me to teach my younger sister."
Everyone raised it up in one breath.
"Well! From today on, Third Sister, you will face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for half a month. During this half month, you must copy the "Female Rules" a hundred times. After you're done, send it to the palace. I need to check it, and no one else is allowed to do it. Do you understand?"
Chen Jingxu lowered her head, the handkerchief in her hand seemed about to break as she uttered a few words with difficulty: "I will follow the princess's orders."
Chen Jingxi nodded. "Alright, Third Sister, hurry back and copy it. Time is running out, and I'm thinking about you. If you haven't finished copying by then..."
"Xu'er will be back soon, Your Majesty, Princess Xu'er will take her leave first."
Chen Jingxi thought to himself: There is no other way. If you stay here, it will affect my appetite. If my appetite is affected, it will easily lead to indigestion.
"Haha, everyone keep eating. Don't waste such a large table of food."
Everyone's eyes twitched. This princess was so careless. Even after such a commotion, she still had the mood to eat. They were not in the mood anyway.
Chu Jinghuai looked at Chen Jingxi with a smile, it was really interesting.
Chen Jingxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you looking at? If you don't want to eat, then go away and don't disturb me while I'm eating."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Is the princess trying to kill herself by talking to the prince like that?
But Chu Jinghuai's mouth corners slightly raised, and he seemed very happy. He picked up the chopsticks and continued eating. The maid came forward and changed his bowl for him.
Chen Qiyuan looked at his calm and composed daughter with a complicated expression. When it came to educating his children, he always adhered to the principles of humility, quietness and elegance. This daughter in particular, he made her read the Rules and Precepts for Girls.
When he saw her today, her unrestrained and flamboyant personality reminded him of his deceased wife, who was also so bright and flamboyant.
This kind of personality that makes people unable to help but be attracted to her also makes people like him feel inferior. If...
"Princess, this dish is delicious, please try it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dish was placed in Chen Jingxi's bowl.
Chen Jingxi's face darkened as he looked at the piece of braised pork in the bowl. Was this guy doing it on purpose? Chen Jingxu picked up a piece of braised pork for him, and he picked up a piece for her. What did this mean?
Besides, serving food to someone else is something that only someone with whom one is very close or friendly would do, right? They weren't that close, were they?
Chu Jinghuai was thinking about what happened in the carriage when she asked him to appear very satisfied and to show that he valued her, so he picked up some food for her. He had seen his father pick up some food for his concubines before, and they were all very happy, as if they had found a treasure.
Shouldn't she act happy when I pick up food for her?
Or maybe she didn't like the braised pork, but he thought it was delicious! It was because His Royal Highness Prince Su thought it was delicious that Chen Jingxu picked it up for him.
"Your Majesty, I'm trying to lose weight recently, so I won't eat this meat."
Everyone looked at the big chicken drumstick in Chen Jingxi's hand, and then at Chu Jinghuai's expression.
Chu Jinghuai's eyes flashed with teasing: "Even if the princess is as fat as a pig, this prince will not despise her."
Chen Jingxi looked at his despicable appearance and finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Who do you say is a pig? I think you are the pig, and a big pig at that."
