the next day.
"Princess, wake up quickly, the prince is coming back soon."
Chen Jingxi glanced at the still pitch-black night and really wanted to curse. It was only so late and the chickens hadn't even woken up so early.
After being toyed with by several maids, Chen Jingxi was no longer sleepy. She sat upright in front of the dressing table, staring at the beautiful and charming woman in the bronze mirror in a trance.
For a moment, I couldn't recognize myself. I had long hair, a straight back, bright eyes and white teeth. I really had a good-looking appearance.
Completely different from the modern clean, simple and neat medium-short hair, she never thought that words like charming and gorgeous could be associated with herself.
By the time he finished tidying up, it was already dawn. Chen Jingxi couldn't help but look up at the sky in his heart, and finally understood why he had to get up so early. It would take him half a day to wear the 30% and 30% of clothes here.
The Prince Su's Mansion had received the news long ago that Chu Jinghuai had gone to the palace to report, and was about to leave the palace at this time.
Everyone in the mansion was waiting at the door, and Chen Jingxi also came to the door surrounded by everyone.
At this moment, there was a jingle of bells and a fragrance.
Chen Jingxi turned around and saw a colorful big rooster, or to be more precise, a peacock with its tail spread out.
Well, it's sending out a message of courtship.
Chunmei gnashed her teeth and said, "Princess, look at her arrogance. This skirt with colorful cloud patterns was originally yours."
There are three big lines on the back of Chen Jingxi's head. If she wore this skirt, um... she would feel sick. Please forgive her for not having that kind of aesthetic taste.
"No, I'm not suitable to wear such conspicuous clothes."
Chunmei felt even more aggrieved for Chen Jingxi, as the princess had clearly liked this skirt before.
It must be because the prince is coming back, and she wants to show her magnanimity as a mistress in order to win the prince's favor, so she said that the skirt is not suitable.
If Chen Jingxi knew that Chunmei had imagined this, she would definitely say, "You're thinking too much. I really don't like it."
"Princess, you're okay now. I was so worried. Yesterday, I even prayed to the Bodhisattva. As long as you're okay, I can accept any punishment."
"Now that my sister is safe and sound, she even asked the housekeeper to let my sister out. I guess she believes that my sister didn't harm you."
Chen Jingxi was already feeling uncomfortable looking at her outfit, and after hearing what she said, she realized that the person in front of her was Zhao Yue, the concubine who caused her to fall from the attic.
"Sister Concubine, you misunderstood. I am letting you out first because of the prince's triumphant return. You will still be held accountable for harming me."
When Concubine Zhao heard this, she suddenly felt a little uneasy for some reason.
What does Chen Jingxi mean? What does she want to do? Is it because the prince has returned and she feels she has a backer?
Thinking of this, she spoke as usual: "Sister is the principal wife, and younger sister is the concubine. It is only right for elder sister to punish younger sister in any way she wants, and younger sister will not have a single complaint."
After saying this, she didn't forget to wipe away her tears.
Chen Jingxi really wanted to clap and cheer. She had heard so much gossip, but this was the first time she heard a murderer speak so innocently.
So she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Since you also feel that you deserve to be punished, if I don't help you, it will be my fault."
"Sister, you..." Concubine Zhao widened her eyes in surprise. What she had just said was just to gain a good reputation and let people know how innocent she was.
If Chen Jingxi still wanted to punish her, he would only be known as narrow-minded and intolerant.
Moreover, she was certain that Chen Jingxi would follow her words. After all, Chen Jingxi always preferred to mind his own business.
She was about to speak again when she heard the sound of horse hooves at the entrance of the alley, and soon she saw a cavalry turning in.
The leader was a man dressed in armor, with a tall and straight figure and a resolute and handsome appearance.
The gatekeeper hurried forward to lead the horse, and everyone in front of the gate saluted in unison: "Welcome Your Highness back to the palace."
The man dismounted.
When Chen Jingxi saw the man in military uniform, he felt a liking for him. With a standard smile on his face, he stepped forward and extended his right hand, "Your Highness, thank you for your hard work."
Well, she was a bit of a bootlicker, and a bootlicker was a bootlicker, and she had to leave an impression.
The man quickly took a step back, clasped his fists and said, "Princess, I dare not."
The man swallowed his saliva and said, "My aunt, please look carefully before calling anyone."
"Uh..." Chen Jingxi looked at the outstretched hand and felt embarrassed. How could he forget that this was ancient times and handshakes were not popular.
"The last general?" This doesn't seem like the prince's self-proclaimed title.
Chen Jingxi glanced at the people around her and saw their faces full of disbelief. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind: could she have recognized the wrong person?
Chen Jingxi looked at Chunmei, as if to say, isn't this the prince?
Chunmei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and cried out in her heart: Princess, how could you mistakenly recognize the prince?
Chen Jingxi chuckled: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is just a small episode, this princess was just playing a joke on the general."
A joke? Princess, are you sure this is a joke? This joke is not funny. Not only is it not funny, it could easily cost someone their life.
"The princess's behavior today really made me look at her with new eyes." A cold voice came from the sedan chair behind.
The voice was cold, as if it had been frozen, and the tone was dull, without any emotion.
Then, a man came out of the sedan chair.
The moment he came out, everyone around him lowered their heads slightly, and then a strong sense of oppression came over them. Chen Jingxi frowned. This man had such a strong aura.
She was about to raise her eyebrows to look and saw a face that was majestic, handsome, and full of energy. In short, it was very handsome.
As the person came closer, Chen Jingxi could see more clearly.
His sword-like eyebrows, sharp facial features, and distinct angles, and the black brocade robe outlines his tall and straight figure. This appearance and demeanor are simply perfect!
What a man! I didn't expect to be so close to him. The key is that this man is hers, hehehe!
Seeing that Chen Jingxi was about to drool, Chunmei tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Princess."
Chen Jingxi came back to her senses, a pair of sharp eyes looking at her, and her thin lips curled up: "Shameless, despicable."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jingxi was stunned.
What did this person say? Shameless? Despicable?
Isn't it just that you recognized the wrong person? Is it necessary to curse at him like that?
This guy is so hateful, I really want to beat him up.
No, this is not a civilized society.
Chen Jingxi, if you endure for a moment, everything will be calm; if you take a step back, the sky will be wide open.
Tolerate!
"Ms. Chen, you have no manners or virtues as a woman. You will be punished to kneel for two hours." Chu Jinghuai said and left.
"What?"
Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Sister, the prince said you should kneel for two hours."
Chen Jingxi glared at her. Two hours, that would be four hours. Her knees would be broken.
Screw it, the sea is calm. Screw it, the sky is wide open.
She believes in Taoism and if she doesn't do anything to him, her Taoism will be unstable.
It's a dead life anyway.
The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn. Maybe you can even go back after death.
