Chapter 436 The Ninth Princess Falls into the Water
Chen Ruijin's mouth twitched, but fortunately she stopped pretending. She chewed quickly in her mouth and swallowed.
"Water, water, it's killing me."
The pastries are delicious, but too dry and difficult to swallow.
Chu Qingyun had no choice but to pour her a cup of tea.
"Hungry?" he asked.
After drinking a cup of tea, Chen Ruijin felt better and then handed the cup to Chu Qingyun.
Chu Qingyun was slightly stunned, then chuckled and took the cup.
Having seen the cautiousness and flattery of the queen and the women in the backyard, he suddenly felt that Chen Ruijin's casualness was more intimate. She did not respect and serve him like a prince, but as an ordinary husband.
This feels pretty good.
"I was hungry and tired. Finally they all left and there was no food left." Chen Ruijin felt like crying but had no tears when she thought of that scene.
The ladies are not actually greedy, but since they are sitting here with nothing to do, they have nothing to do but eat something.
Chen Rujin had no choice but to order her maid to find a plate of snacks to fill her stomach while everyone was at the table. However, she had only taken a few bites when Chu Qingyun pushed the door open, scaring her so much that she almost choked.
She was a young girl and was caught cheating on her wedding night. Wouldn't she have any shame if she told others about it?
Chu Qingyun's expression warmed up slightly and he extended his hand towards Chen Ruijin.
Chen Rujin immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and looked at Chu Qingyun as if facing a great enemy: "You...what are you doing?"
Chu Qingyun: "..."
What does this look of guarding against perverts mean?
Can't he touch the concubine he married openly?
Seeing Chu Qingyun's face suddenly turn dark, Chen Rujin tapped her feet in embarrassment: "Well... I have no experience."
Chu Qingyun's face turned even darker.
What are you talking about? You must have experience to see this.
"Isn't the Phoenix Coronet heavy to wear?"
Chen Ruijin blinked in confusion, and then she understood what Chu Qingyun meant.
It turns out that he wanted to pick the phoenix crown for her.
Chen Rujin smiled, then walked to Chu Qingyun and lowered her head: "It's heavy, then hurry up."
Chu Qingyun was so angry that he laughed, and reached out to carefully take off the phoenix crown.
Chen Rujin felt her head lighten up all of a sudden, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It feels good. This phoenix crown is beautiful, but it's too heavy."
On the fair forehead, there was a red mark caused by the phoenix crown.
Chu Qingyun raised his hand and poked her forehead as a punishment.
Chen Ruijin gasped in pain, covering her forehead and glaring at him with an accusing look.
Chu Qingyun laughed softly, his voice was low and seductive, making Chen Ruijin's cheeks blush.
"Your Highness, the meal is ready." At this time, the servant reported at the door.
"Bring it in."
After Chu Qingyun finished speaking, he saw delicious dishes being served on the table, with fragrant aromas.
Chen Ruijin looked at Chu Qingyun with her sparkling black eyes. Her charming and lovely appearance made Chu Qingyun's eyes suddenly darken. He gritted his teeth, took Chen Ruijin's hand and walked towards the table.
"Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly."
Chen Rujin looked at the few but delicious dishes on the table and cast a touching look at Chu Qingyun: "Your Highness, you are so thoughtful."
Chu Qingyun raised his eyebrows happily: "Stop talking and eat quickly."
Chen Ruijin was indeed very hungry, and didn't care about her manners. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating with voracious mouthfuls of food.
"Your Highness, why aren't you eating?" Chen Ruijin looked up at Chu Qingyun halfway through her meal.
Staring at her like this must be stressful for her.
"Don't worry, it will be my turn after you're full." Chu Qingyun looked straight at Chen Ruijin.
Even though Chen Ruijin was inexperienced, she understood the meaning in Chu Qingyun's eyes and glared at him with shame and anger.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Princess accidentally fell into the water." Xiao Shouzi said at the door.
Chu Qingyun's mouth twitched when he heard this. He had been waiting for a whole day and thought that Lao Ba had finally found his conscience and would not cause trouble at his wedding banquet. It turned out that he had been holding it in until the very end.
Chen Rujin stood up anxiously: "Your Highness, I'll go take a look."
Chu Qingyun pulled her and said, "Sit down. The Third Imperial Concubine will handle all the important matters. Nothing is more important than the wedding night."
Chen Rujin was so angry at his shamelessness that she gritted her teeth: "Your Highness, this is a matter of life and death."
It's already this time and you're still thinking about your wedding night.
Even if he was not close to the Ninth Princess, as her royal brother he had to go and ask about her when she fell into the water.
"Don't worry, if Chu Pan'er had any problems, the mansion would have already made a scene." Chu Qingyun said slowly, and then called Xiao Shouzi in: "Tell the concubine what's going on."
Today is his big day. Lao Ba still has some sense of propriety and will not cause anyone to die today.
Xiao Shouzi pushed the door open and entered, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, as for the concubine, the Ninth Princess is fine. The eldest son of the Imperial Household Minister Ji's family jumped in and rescued the Ninth Princess immediately, but..."
"Just what?" Chu Qingyun asked.
Xiao Shouzi considered his words and said, "But in this way, the two of them have had physical contact. His Majesty the Eighth Prince said that the Ninth Princess's reputation was damaged by Young Master Ji's embrace, so he wants to bring Young Master Ji to the palace to meet the Emperor and let him be responsible for the Ninth Princess."
"The Fifth Prince was furious when he heard this and started arguing with the Eighth Prince."
Chu Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then what?"
Lao Wu had been wanting to arrange a marriage between Chu Pan'er and the Shen family so as to gain General Shen's support. Now that Chu Pan'er's move has failed, how could he not be angry?
Xiao Shouzi: "The Fifth Prince was no match for the Eighth Prince and was beaten up. Things got out of hand and finally the Second Prince brought his men into the palace."
Chu Qingyun heard this and waved his hand at him: "Alright, since the second brother has taken the people away, don't worry about this matter. Send the guests away and leave."
"Yes, Your Highness." Xiao Shouzi replied with his head lowered, then turned and left.
Don't forget to close the door when you leave.
His Highness is really generous.
Chu Jinyan had informed him long ago, so he was not worried about Chu Pan'er falling into the water. However, other people in the mansion did not know, so Xiao Shouzi came to inform him only after such a big thing happened.
Since it was Chu Jinyan who caused the incident, he would naturally be the one to clean up the mess.
So Chu Jinyan coaxed Chen Ruijin to eat more without any burden.
Chen Rujin: “…”
forecourt.
After a burst of noise, the guests left the Sanhuangzi Mansion with a lot of gossip in their minds.
