Chu Jinghuai looked back and frowned slightly.
"This servant greets the prince and princess."
"Is there something wrong, Eunuch Hu?"
"Your Majesty invites the Prince to go to Jin'an Palace."
Chen Jingxi glanced at Chu Jinghuai and said, "Since mother is looking for the prince, I will wait for him here."
Chu Jinghuai said in a deep voice: "An ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her parents-in-law, what is the princess afraid of?"
Chen Jingxi complained in his heart: I'm afraid of you, you big-headed ghost. Didn't you hear what Eunuch Hu said? Your mother only called you, why should I join in the fun?
"Since the princess doesn't want to go, and it's getting late, please ask Eunuch Hu to inform my mother. I will pay my respects to her another day."
"This... Your Majesty." Eunuch Hu turned to Chen Jingxi and said, "Princess, the Queen said she hasn't seen you for a while, and she wants you to come along."
Chen Jingxi was shocked. The people in this palace were so quick-witted. Judging from her impression of Concubine De today, Concubine De probably didn't want to see her.
"Princess, let's go."
Concubine De lived in Jin'an Palace, which was far away from the emperor. Chen Jingxi observed carefully along the way and found that there were far fewer palace maids and eunuchs in this area.
They walked into the palace and saw that the light inside was soft and the furnishings were simple yet elegant. Concubine De was sitting on an exquisite wooden couch, leaning on her forehead and dozing off.
Chen Jingxi and Chu Jinghuai stepped forward and saluted. Concubine De raised her head and glanced at them indifferently with a look of surprise, but she quickly returned to her usual demeanor.
"Sit down."
Chu Jinghuai took a deep breath. He never knew how to get along with his biological mother. "Mother, why did you call me here?"
Concubine De snorted coldly: "Why, Prince Su has become so successful now, and I can't summon him even if there is nothing wrong?"
Chen Jingxi was a little at a loss. Why did they start arguing as soon as they met? Who should she speak for? In the past, the relationship in a family was always between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and the husband would mediate. But in her case, it was the mother and son who were at odds.
"Your Highness, how can you ask Mother that? Mother summoned us because she missed us."
Hearing this, the two were stunned.
Chen Jingxi didn't notice their expressions and continued, "Look at you. You've been gone for three years without even a letter. Mother was worried all day long. Now that you're back, you don't even bother to come see me. I have to find you. Don't you think you're being unfilial?"
"Hurry up and apologize to Mother, and promise to be filial to her in the future."
Chu Jinghuai frowned.
Concubine De looked at Chu Jinghuai, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She sighed and softened her tone a little: "I don't expect Prince Su to be filial. If he can avoid causing trouble for me, I will be very lucky."
Chen Jingxi tried to speak for Chu Jinghuai: "Mother, although the prince is usually a little frivolous, but..."
Chu Jinghuai interrupted her, "Don't worry, mother. I won't cause any trouble for you no matter what I do."
When Concubine De heard what he said, her tone became even more severe: "Don't think that I don't know what you have done recently."
"Since Mother knows what I have done, why are you looking for me? To give me a warning?"
"You bastard, how dare you talk back to me? If I had known I should not have given birth to you."
Chu Jinghuai lowered his head and laughed at himself. When he looked up again, his eyes were clear. He stood up and bowed, "I already know what my mother wants to say."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Chen Jingxi also stood up and said, "Mother, please have a good rest. I'll go back first."
After the two left, the nanny beside Concubine De spoke up, "Your Majesty, why are you so harsh? The prince is your son after all."
Concubine De snorted coldly, "This rebellious son, I wish I had never given birth to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
The nanny didn't know how many years she had heard this, and in the end she could only sigh.
Chen Jingxi chased Chu Jinghuai all the way but didn't see him. She thought he was hiding in that corner and feeling sad alone. Unexpectedly, he was already in the car. This person's lightness skill was really different.
I looked at Chu Jinghuai and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, which I found a little unusual. When arguing with parents, ordinary people would be angry, aggrieved, depressed, and have all kinds of emotions. But this guy turned around and acted like nothing happened. His inner strength is really strong.
She heard from Chunmei that since Chu Jinghuai was born, Concubine De didn't like this son, but she didn't know why.
But she was still very surprised, because the women in the harem have always been honored by their sons, and the son was such a promising one.
If Concubine De had other children but didn't like Chu Jinghuai, she might think that Concubine De was partial because she only had Chu Jinghuai as her child.
This is why she doesn't like him. She even feels that Concubine De hates Chu Jinghuai a little.
"Ahem, well, Your Majesty, Mother might be a little irritable during this special period."
Chen Jingxi really wanted to figure out that a mother who hadn't seen her son for several years would scold him the moment she saw him. She couldn't think of any other reason except that she was dissatisfied with everything she saw during those few days.
"If you're unhappy or angry, just let it out. Don't hold it in. It can easily distort your psychology."
After hearing this, Chu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Princess, are you concerned about me?"
Chen Jingxi said with a forced smile, "I am worried that the prince has become mentally disturbed and that he might lose control of his abnormal psychology and want to kill me one day."
Chu Jinghuai looked at her teasing him and suddenly felt like laughing, "Don't worry, Princess. If there is a king with a twisted mind in the future, he won't want to kill you. He will only slowly torture you, making you wish you were dead but unable to live."
"Fuck you, you pervert! I knew you had bad intentions. I was so kind to try to enlighten you, and you actually wanted to do this to me? Did a dog eat your conscience?"
"Very good. Today, I heard the princess call me a worthless person and a pervert. How should I deal with the princess?"
Chen Jingxi's face darkened after hearing this. This man was not only arrogant, but also very sinister. Take a few deep breaths and think of him as Party A, a man. As long as a man is a man, he will be very childish and easy to coax.
"Your Majesty, you have never heard that what women say is not to be believed. If I say you are a piece of shit, it means you are a piece of shit. If I say you are a dead pervert, it means you are a man with very charismatic personality."
"Oh, really?"
Chen Jingxi nodded frantically, "Yes, Your Majesty, you must believe me."
"But I remember the princess saying that she is a person who is consistent in appearance and heart."
“…”What a good memory.
