Chapter 119: Self-esteem
When Chen Tang returned to Qingyi Garden, Ginkgo couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you want to go to the Buddhist temple to accompany the eldest lady?"
Although the young lady asked the old lady to punish the eldest girl by making her kneel for an hour to reflect on herself, if no one was watching, it would only be a matter of staying in the Buddhist temple for an hour, which would not be a big deal.
Chen Tang didn't want to go to the temple again. Besides, she didn't need to go there in person since she saw Chen Xi. Chen Tang took off an earring and handed it to Yin Xing, saying, "I lost an earring in the temple. Take two maids to help me find it."
As long as she was around, Chen Xian wouldn't dare to be lazy at all.
Ginkgo admired her own girl's intelligence. She knew she could definitely make the girl mad. So she took the earrings and went downstairs to do the job.
Chen Xian knelt firmly for the entire hour, and her throat tasted bloody from anger. She had nothing to say, but Chen Tang had lost her earrings, so she had to ask the maid to help find them.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
After breakfast, Chen Tang went to Songhe Hall. Chen Xian looked at her with gritted teeth, "Today I will go with you to visit Princess Roujia."
Shen Tang didn’t want to go with Shen Xi, but before she could refuse, the old lady spoke first, “Tang Er can go alone.”
The second wife said, "If the two sisters go together, they will have company..."
The old lady glanced at the second wife and said, "Do you think they still look like sisters now?"
The second wife had nothing to say.
Chen Xian looked at Chen Tang, her eyes clearly asking Chen Tang to ask her to go with her. Chen Tang just felt that Chen Xian was shameless enough. She kept accusing her of asking Prince Ning to save people, but now she had the nerve to go to Prince Duan's Mansion to visit Princess Roujia. Chen Tang would never do such a shameless thing even if he was beaten to death.
Chen Tang pretended not to notice the look Chen Xian gave her, and naturally she was the only one who went to Prince Duan's mansion.
Chen Tang took Ginkgo out of the house and took a carriage until they stopped in front of the gate of Prince Duan's house.
The maid had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and came out to greet her before she even got off the carriage, "Second Miss Shen is finally here, the princess has sent people to ask twice."
Chen Tang smiled softly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
The maid took Shen Tang to see Princess Roujia.
Inside the room, Princess Roujia leaned on a large pillow, her face pale and thin.
Chen Tang said distressedly, "Why do you look so bad?"
Princess Roujia felt embarrassed when Chen Tang looked at her, "We are both frightened horses, how did Sister Chen Tang manage not to be afraid?"
It was impossible not to be afraid, but for someone who had died once, frightening a horse was nothing.
Chen Tang said, "I'm scared too."
Princess Roujia said, "This time it's all thanks to you and Prince Ning, otherwise I would be dead."
It felt like my head was about to hit a bridge pier. Thinking of Princess Roujia, my back felt cold. These past few days, whenever I slept, whether it was day or night, I would have nightmares. I couldn't eat or sleep well, so how could my complexion be good?
Princess Roujia held Chen Tang's hand, "Sister Chen Tang, please stay with me for a while."
Chen Tang looked at her, "I just got here, and you're expecting me to leave?"
Princess Roujia: "..."
Unexpectedly, Chen Tang would tease her. Princess Roujia's pale face gained some color, and she looked much more energetic.
Princess Roujia looked at Chen Tang, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Seeing this, Chen Tang said, "Princess, just ask if you have anything to say."
Princess Roujia's ears turned red as she asked, "Why did you let Prince Ning save me?"
Chen Tang smiled and said, "It was Prince Jingyang who saved me when I frightened my horse. Prince Ning's martial arts should be comparable to Prince Jingyang's. I thought he could save you, and I happened to meet him, so I didn't think much about it..."
"The princess is blessed with a good fate. Everything is just right."
Princess Roujia also felt that she was lucky enough.
Her maid Xiang Qiao sighed, "Prince Xiao is a handsome man, both civil and military, but it's a pity that he is the grandson of old Prince Ning and the cousin of the princess. Even if he was a prince of a baron's mansion, the prince and princess would have married the princess to him."
Princess Roujia thought of Xiao Huan saving her and hugging her waist. Princess Roujia's face turned red and she scolded the maid, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Xiang Qiao said, "I am not talking nonsense. The prince, princess and the prince are also so regretful."
Princess Roujia even wanted to sell her maid.
Princess Roujia said, "If I want to get married, it won't be my turn."
Xiao Huan saved not only her, but also Chen Tang.
However, Prince Ning did come to propose marriage, but Marquis Pingyuan did not agree.
Thinking about Chen Tang's refusal to marry Prince Ning, it should be embarrassing to meet Prince Ning. She frightened the horse, and Chen Tang asked Prince Ning to save her. It always felt a little weird.
Princess Roujia felt sorry for Xiao Huan. She looked at Chen Tang and asked, "Who is better than the Prince of Ning?"
Chen Tang looked at Princess Roujia and thought it would be great if she could be her sister-in-law. However, she was afraid that the old Princess Ning would not be able to bear the blow. She didn’t know when her eldest brother would be able to recognize his ancestors. In her previous life, when she died, her eldest brother was still the Prince of Ning and had not yet married...
Seeing Chen Tang looking at her, Princess Roujia felt uncomfortable being looked at. She asked, "Why, why are you looking at me like that?"
Chen Tang said, "Let me have a few private words with you."
When Xiangqiao heard this, she went out with Ginkgo, leaving the two of them in the room.
Princess Roujia stared at Chen Tang in a daze. Chen Tang smiled and said, "Even if I can't get married in my whole life, I will not marry the Prince of Ning."
Princess Roujia's eyes widened, "Why?"
Chen Tang said, "You should have heard that I had an older brother who got lost at the Lantern Festival, right?"
Princess Roujia nodded.
Everyone in Kyoto knew about this, and her father and mother were still lamenting about it these past two days.
Chen Tang said, "Prince Ning is my biological elder brother."
Princess Roujia's mouth opened wide in shock, big enough to fit a salted duck egg.
Chen Tang said, "Father and eldest brother have already recognized each other, but I am afraid that Princess Ning will not be able to bear the blow of her grandson's death ten years ago, so my eldest brother cannot recognize his ancestors yet."
"If he wasn't my eldest brother, how could I dare to order the grandson of old Prince Ning around?"
This news was too big for Princess Roujia to digest for a while.
Chen Tang revealed this for the following sentence, "My eldest brother is not the princess's cousin. I really hope that the princess can become my sister-in-law."
Swish.
Princess Roujia's face turned red enough that blood could drip out.
Seeing Chen Tang looking at her with a smile, Princess Roujia was shy, "I, I won't talk to you anymore..."
"Even if he saved me, I don't have to marry him. You're scared. Prince Jingyang saved you. You, you didn't..."
Princess Roujia wanted to drag her maid away and give her a beating. If the maid hadn't brought up this topic, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
She used Xie Guimo as a shield, but ended up running into Chen Tang's gun. "I don't know when I might marry the Prince of Jingyang."
Princess Roujia looked at Chen Tang in shock again and again, "You lied to me, you must be kidding me."
Chen Tang laughed, "How can you joke about your lifelong event?"
Princess Roujia also felt that no one would play such a joke on her. She believed it a little, but still couldn't believe it. "Could it be that the emperor knew that the person who wanted to marry you was really the prince of Jingyang?"
Shen Tang nodded.
Princess Roujia: "..."
Thinking of the example she had given, Princess Roujia's face became hot. She slid down from the big pillow and pulled the quilt to cover her whole body.
