Chapter 249 Are You So Stingy?
"return."
Sheng Xian: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
"Put the things down." Chu Jinyan's cold eyes flashed with an imperceptible hint of tenderness as he said to Sheng Xian.
Sheng Xian tried hard to suppress the smile in his heart and looked at Chu Jinyan seriously: "Your Highness, don't you dislike eating?"
Chu Jinyan stared at him coldly, his eyes darting towards Sheng Xian, as if he was going to throw you down from the third floor if you keep talking nonsense.
Sheng Xian felt a chill on the back of his neck. He quickly placed the plate respectfully in front of Chu Jinyan and slipped away.
Uh...Master, don't make jokes casually, it may endanger your life.
Chu Qingyun looked at the small plate of plums in front of him in astonishment. It was obvious that someone had taken a handful of the sparse plums on the plate.
this……
"Who is so bold as to bring over the food he has eaten? Tell me, eighth brother, and I will teach him a lesson for you." Chu Qingyun said righteously.
Chu Jinyan glanced at him casually with cold eyes, which immediately made Chu Qingyun choke on his throat.
Then Chu Qingyun saw him pinch a plum and put it in his mouth. The cold Chen Jiao raised an imperceptible smile, which made Chu Qingyun open his eyes wide in surprise.
"So delicious?" He whispered, then stretched out his slender hand.
But before her fingers touched the plums, Chu Jinyan suddenly slapped the back of her hand.
"Hiss..." Chu Qingyun gasped in pain and immediately retracted his hand. He touched the back of his hand and said, "Eighth brother, why did you hit me?"
Chu Jinyan picked up the plate and held it in his arms, looking at Chu Qingyun with a wolf-like cold gaze: "This is for me, buy it yourself if you want to eat it."
Chu Qingyun was dumbfounded: "..."
Where are the brothers you promised me?
Now you don’t even want to give him a plum?
"Eighth brother, are you so stingy?" The corners of Chu Qingyun's mouth kept twitching, and he felt that his three views had been refreshed.
Chu Jinyan nodded expressionlessly: "Yes."
This plum was given to him by Lu Xiang, why would he give it to another man?
Chu Qingyun's handsome face fell, and he slammed the table and started to throw a tantrum, looking like a young wife abandoned by a heartless man: "Thank goodness I turned down an appointment with a beautiful woman and came to watch the dragon boat race with you, but you treated me like this, it's inhuman, it's unjust, it's un..."
Before Chu Qingyun finished speaking, he heard Chu Jinyan's cold voice: "I will ask your father for permission to marry Chen Rujin as your concubine."
I asked him out today because I wanted to mention this matter.
Chu Qingyun coveted Chen Rujin's beauty the first time he saw her... Oh no, it was love at first sight, but he already had a wife, and with Chen Rujin's family background, how could she possibly be relegated to being a concubine?
The prince's concubine also felt a little aggrieved.
However, if he could marry the third brother, it would be a good thing for him, whether it was to win over the Chen family or Chu Qingyun.
"Really?" Chu Qingyun sat up straight and looked at Chu Jinyan with shining eyes: "You're not lying to me?"
"Yes." Chu Jinyan nodded: "But whether she is willing to marry you is your business."
What he meant was that you just need to get the Chen family to agree to the marriage. If the Chen family disagrees, he will not ask for permission.
When Chu Qingyun heard this, the smile on his face froze like dried dog shit: "Eighth...Eighth brother, father loves you so much, as long as you help me get the decree of marriage, can the Chen family still resist?"
Chu Jinyan glanced at him gloomily, his face showing a look of impending storm.
Chu Qingyun was so scared that he immediately changed his tone: "Don't worry, Eighth Brother, Third Brother is an upright person. How could he do such a thing that is difficult to force? I will talk to you after Chen Rujin agrees."
Oh, oh, oh, Lao Ba is so scary!
Chu Jinyan: “Hehe…”
An upright rogue?
After Lu Xiang finished off a butterfly of melon seeds, Qiao Jingru arrived.
"Sister-in-law." Lu Xiang saw her and waved to her.
After not seeing her for a few days, although Qiao Jingru looked average, she was in good spirits.
Qiao Jingru smiled slightly: "You came early."
"There's a dragon boat race today, so come early because there may be a lot of people on the road."
Qiao Jingru sat down next to her and Yun Zha poured her a cup of tea.
"Is Zhiyan not here yet?"
"Not yet, but the game hasn't started yet." Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru took a sip of tea and looked at the snacks on the table with a little surprise: "Such exquisite snacks, like those from Wufangzhai, you can still buy their cakes on a day like today, how early do you have to line up?"
Lu Xiang pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly. Queue? There was no such thing.
But is even my sister-in-law so familiar with Wufangzhai’s dim sum?
"Sister-in-law, how do you know this is from Wufangzhai?"
Qiao Jingru took a piece of Ruyi Cake and took a bite, saying, "During the days I've lived in the Qiao family, my eldest brother and his friends have brought me cakes from Wufangzhai every few days. They say it's the most delicious cake shop in the capital, and even the masters in the palace would occasionally send palace maids out to buy it, so it's very famous."
Lu Xiang looked at Qiao Jingru with envy.
Look at that person’s brother.
Look at your own...
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!
“So many people have come to the capital, but I haven’t heard of it.” Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru looked at her sideways and said jokingly, "The snacks you eat are all made by Aunt Yunlu herself. Why do you need to buy them outside?"
Given the Queen's level of favoritism, if the imperial palace were not far from the Lu family, she dared to say that Aunt Yunlu might send food out of the palace every day.
Lu Xiang thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.
Aunt Yunlu would send her food from time to time, and when she could not leave the palace, she would ask the eunuch to bring it to her. She didn't have to wait until she got tired of the snacks in the mansion and bought some outside to change the taste, so Lu Xiang had never tasted the snacks in Wufangzhai.
"When I came, I heard that the emperor went to the Liu family to issue an order to take a concubine for the second prince." Qiao Jingru said.
Lu Xiang nodded: "It is said that the fourth lady Liu Anhui has been selected."
Thinking about entering the palace a few days ago, the Empress was unlucky that Concubine Shu had seen Liu Anyu, and it seemed that she was intending to take her as a concubine. Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, it finally fell on Liu Anhui's head.
Qiao Jingru: "The Liu family has become popular again. With this imperial decree, no one is talking about Liu Anyao anymore. Prime Minister Liu's trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west is really effective."
Lu Xiang sneered, "Liu Anyao married an ordinary man, while Liu Anhui, a concubine, became a royal wife. Even if she is a concubine, she is a concubine with a Jade Butterfly rank. When the sisters meet in the future, will Liu Anyao feel happy if the honorable legitimate daughter kneels down to pay respect to the concubine? After a long time, will Liu Anhui be willing to look at the face of the legitimate sister? She has done something wrong."
She didn't know what the ending of the two sisters was in their previous life, but as far as she knew, after they got married, there were a lot of dirty things behind their backs.
According to the timeline, Liu Anhui married the second prince in advance.
However, Liu Anyao's innocence has been destroyed, and many things have changed. Even Lu Chao has a mistress. So even if many things still follow the trajectory of the previous life, they are not so accurate.
