Having said this, Chen Jingxi paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "My daughter-in-law hopes that they can admit their mistakes to the people on the city wall. It would be even better if they could praise my daughter-in-law."
Jiang Xiwan said angrily, "Princess Su, you've gone too far. You want us to lose face in front of the people of the capital? Don't even think about it. I would never do it even if I die."
Concubine Qin sneered: "I think this method is very good. If you don't want to do it and think that death is better than this, then go ahead and die!"
Chen Jingxi looked at Concubine Qin with admiration. This person was really arrogant, but she liked it. If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price. She is not a saint and will not pity them.
If it were the original owner today, she might still be bullied by them, but not now. She will take her place and severely punish those who bullied her.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xiwan and the others, admitting their mistakes to the people of the whole city. Princess Su was really cruel. The family had lost all face, and these girls were ruined.
"If you think this is too difficult, you can also ask the emperor to make the decision. I don't know how the emperor will deal with the crime of insulting the princess."
After Chen Jingxi finished speaking, Jiang Xiwan was stunned and looked at the queen for help, but the queen's eyes were cold and she ignored her.
Her face turned even more pale, and she bit her lip and said, "Okay, we agree."
Chen Jingxi said cheerfully, "There's a lantern festival the day after tomorrow. It's going to be quite lively. You can go then."
After she said this, everyone was stunned. It was not enough to ask someone to admit his mistake in front of the people of the whole city, she also had to choose a time.
Everyone silently warned themselves in their hearts that they must never offend Princess Su in the future.
Jiang Xiwan looked at Chen Jingxi fiercely, and after a long while, she squeezed out a word from between her teeth: "Okay."
"Okay, don't feel any pressure. Admit your mistakes and try to be a good person in the future."
Everyone was speechless. What did it mean to not have psychological pressure and strive to be a good person? Did it mean that if one made a mistake in the eyes of Princess Su, one had to admit the mistake in order to be a good person?
After hearing what she said, Concubine De showed a barely perceptible smile.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, the Queen said, "It's almost time for the banquet."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded and made way for them.
Everyone left Fengzao Palace, and Chen Jingxi followed behind Concubine De. She looked at the mother-in-law in front of her, wondering, are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really natural enemies?
So she didn't like her daughter-in-law, and when she saw her being bullied, she didn't say a word.
No wonder the original owner was bullied before. She only had the title of Princess Su, her family was weak, and her husband was not in the capital. If they didn't bully her, who would they bully?
While Chen Jingxi was still lost in thought, the group had already arrived at Chengqing Palace.
With the eunuch's loud shout, Chen Jingxi came back to his senses and knelt down with everyone else.
The emperor's majestic voice came from above: "Please take a seat."
Chen Jingxi glanced at the seats in the hall. Those with status and position were different. He saw that bastard Chu Jinghuai at a glance.
After sitting down next to him, Chu Jinghuai asked, "Did anything happen?"
Chen Jingxi rolled her eyes at him, "Why do you think I'm just a troublemaker? I can't be bullied by others."
Chu Jinghuai looked at her and asked, "Did someone bully you?"
"Isn't it? You don't know how arrogant they are."
Chen Jingxi vividly described what had just happened.
Chu Jinghuai turned his head to look at her, with a faint smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
There were also a few pairs of eyes not far away, looking towards them from time to time.
When she finally finished speaking, she blinked her eyes, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Chu Jinghuai with an expression that looked like she was asking for praise.
Chu Jinghuai turned around and coughed lightly: "Fortunately, you didn't embarrass me."
Chen Jingxi took a deep breath and resisted the urge to kick the shoe on her foot in his face. She was outwitting everyone else, and he only cared about whether he was embarrassed or not.
Chu Jinghuai saw that she was angry and was about to say something nice, but was interrupted at an inopportune time.
"Third sister-in-law, Jingyue is very happy to see you again." Chu Jingyue bowed to Chen Jingxi.
Chen Jingxi politely replied to the son of Concubine Qin who had just helped her: "Ninth brother, I am also very happy to meet you."
"Third sister-in-law, Jingyue toasts you a glass."
"Okay." Chen Jingxi agreed readily and picked up the wine jug next to Chu Jinghuai and poured himself a glass.
He raised the wine glass, but before he could even bring it to his lips, Chu Jinghuai snatched it away, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "You don't know how to drink, so don't drink."
Chen Jingxi had three black lines behind her head. If someone had stood in front of her in the past and said: I will drink this glass of wine for her.
She would definitely be filled with gratitude and look at him with admiration. What the hell is going on now? This is not a social event, this is a banquet.
What's the harm in drinking one or two cups? Besides, this is the wine served at the palace banquet, and I heard it's some kind of jade wine.
This man is so stingy. He will die if you drink a glass of wine from him!
"Ninth brother, don't mind it. Your third brother is just that arrogant. Sister-in-law will accompany you for a drink some other day."
Chu Jingyue was choked and said with a smile: "Okay, next time Jingyue will accompany the third sister-in-law until she is drunk."
Chu Jinghuai had a dark face, drank the glass of wine sullenly, and said coldly: "Ninth brother, you are grown up, it's time for you to marry a princess." So that he wouldn't have to pester someone else's princess all day long.
Chu Jingyue: "..."
Chen Jingxi looked at Chu Jingyue. He wanted to get married at such a young age?
But then again, the owner of this body of mine also got married at the age of sixteen. Fortunately, Chu Jinghuai went to war, otherwise, if I had traveled through time and space, I would have been the mother of several children. It’s funny to think about it.
"What is the Third Princess laughing at?"
"Nothing. I'm very happy to hear that you're getting married."
Chu Jingyue stared at her and said with a smile, "If I could marry like my third brother..."
"Jingyue, the banquet has started, why don't you go back?" Chu Jinghuai said sternly.
After Chu Jingyue left, Chen Jingxi whispered, "Your Highness, do you understand the importance of brotherly love and respect? I'm trying to pave the way for you out of kindness, but you're acting like a fool."
Chu Jinghuai snorted coldly: "The princess's duty is to serve this king well. Don't put your mind on things that shouldn't be there."
Chen Jingxi cursed inwardly, thinking that her kindness was really taken for granted. The princess's duty was to serve the king well, so why did he need someone to wash his feet, do his laundry, and cook for him?
If she wasn't afraid that she and he would get together one day, she wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to please Chu Jingyue.
Forget it. If it really doesn't work, I'll just wait for him to start a rebellion, and then hide in some deep mountains or forests. When the storm is over, I'll change my identity and live my life, so I don't have to live in fear.
As Chen Jingxi was carrying out his plans, a melodious bell rang and a group of dancers in gorgeous costumes slowly walked into the hall.
