Chapter 440 Tea
She will still abide by the rules, but if Cao Bingbing dares to bully her in the future, sorry, she is not a pushover.
That glance didn't have much power, but it was full of coquettishness, and it made Chu Qingyun's body numb.
He coughed lightly, dragged a round stool and sat next to Chen Rujin: "I'll help you draw your eyebrows."
Chen Rujin looked at Chu Qingyun with horror: "Your Highness, I have to go to the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress in a while, please don't cause trouble for me."
Chu Qingyun felt discriminated against, and immediately patted his chest and assured: "I can't do other things, but I'm the best at drawing eyebrows."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Chen Ruijin's meaningful glance.
"What's with that look in your eyes?" Chu Qingyun asked in surprise.
Chen Rujin said: "Your Highness is so good at it, is it because you have painted too many Yingying and Yanyan in the backyard?"
Chu Qingyun's face froze and he was choked.
"Are you kidding me? Can I just draw eyebrows for anyone?"
It has always been women who try to please and flatter him, so how could he possibly try to please women?
Chen Rujin is the only woman who wants to please him at the moment, but this girl doesn't even appreciate it.
"Then where does Your Highness get the confidence that he is good at drawing eyebrows?"
Chu Qingyun looked at Chen Rujin with pride, raised his eyebrows and said, "I am best at figure painting, so how can I not be good at drawing eyebrows?"
Chen Rujin's speechless mouth twitched.
Who gave him the confidence that he could draw figures well and eyebrows well?
"Your Highness, have you had breakfast?" Chen Ruijin suddenly asked.
The topic changed so quickly that Chu Qingyun was stunned for a moment: "Not yet, I'll wait for you to use it together."
"Your Highness, please go to the front yard and wait for me. I will go to the front yard to find you after I greet the Third Imperial Concubine."
Chu Qingyun understood and realized that she disliked him.
"You are such a heartless little thing." He stretched out his hands, pinched Chen Ruijin's cheeks, and chuckled, "I won't paint for you even if you ask me to."
The more determined you are now, the harder you will be slapped in the face later.
Main courtyard.
The Third Princess did not sleep well the whole night, and the dark circles under her eyes were barely covered up by applying a thick layer of powder.
She sat in the main hall, waiting for Chen Ruijin to serve her tea. Her face looked very unhappy, and she made up her mind to put a good stop to Chen Ruijin's arrogance later.
"Hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
Every once in a while, the Third Imperial Concubine would ask this question. When she saw the sun rising but Chen Ruijin had not come to pay her respects yet, she couldn't control the anger on her face. She was thinking about her wedding night with Chu Qingyun last night, and how sweet and affectionate it was.
The weeds of jealousy grew wildly, making the already not-so-stunning appearance of the Third Imperial Concubine look even more vicious.
Yulan said, "Master, please be patient, I will go to Jinyuan to check it out."
After saying this, she was about to leave when she heard the voice of a maid outside: "This servant greets Concubine Chen. Good morning, Concubine Chen."
The successive greetings clearly showed the distinguished status of the visitors.
From now on, the Third Prince’s family no longer only has her as the principal wife, but also a concubine.
The Third Imperial Concubine clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh, which caused her to come back to her senses with the pain. She sat up straight and assumed the posture of a queen.
Chen Ruijin walked slowly into the hall.
She was wearing a light red silk dress embroidered with purple lily flowers, which made her skin look as white as snow. When she raised her wrist and gazed, she was so charming and beautiful that all the colorful flowers in the room were forced to retreat, and she was the only one who shone brightly.
When the Third Imperial Concubine saw this face, she became jealous to the point of going crazy. Her eyes were as sharp as a dagger, and she wished she could scratch Chen Ruijin's face.
"Concubine Chen is so arrogant that she even wants me to wait for you."
Concubine Chen glanced at the Third Imperial Concubine faintly, with an undisguised hint of mockery flashing across her dark eyes.
He is so impatient to teach her a lesson, what an ugly way of eating.
"I'm here to serve tea to the imperial concubine." said Chen Ruijin.
He did not respond to the Third Princess' words, nor did he apologize.
As she spoke, she glanced at the maid beside her and said, "Bring some tea."
The maidservant belonged to the Third Imperial Concubine. Upon hearing this, she glanced at her.
The Third Imperial Concubine slammed the table and said angrily, "Chen Rujin, I'm talking to you, and you dare to ignore me."
"I heard what the Third Imperial Concubine said, but it does not affect my serving of tea." Chen Rujin said slowly, and then called to the door: "Lu Luo, bring it in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Luo walked in carrying a tray.
"Since the Third Imperial Concubine has not prepared tea, I will prepare it myself."
As Chen Rujin spoke, she picked up the teacup, knelt down in front of the Third Imperial Concubine, and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. Please have some tea."
The third imperial concubine's lips trembled with anger.
Chen Rujin did it on purpose.
Who comes to greet and bring his own tea?
"Chen Rujin, you are so outrageous."
Chen Rujin raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled and said, "Third Imperial Concubine, what you said is strange. From the moment I entered the room until now, it was you, Third Imperial Concubine, who was talking. I prepared the tea myself and came to offer it to you. Is this wrong? Then can I also say that Third Imperial Concubine deliberately made things difficult for me and never thought about drinking the cup of tea I offered her?"
"Don't spit blood at me. When did I say that?"
"So... the Third Imperial Concubine wants to drink? The Third Imperial Concubine invites you to have tea."
Chen Ruijin smiled and handed the tea forward again, saying.
The Third Imperial Concubine was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. She was caught off guard by Chen Rujin. She couldn't help but sneer: "What a mouth you have. You are really sharp-tongued. Since you want me to drink your cup of tea, then kneel down and show your sincerity."
Chen Ruijin frowned slightly, and immediately showed dissatisfaction on her face.
Her expression of being angry but not daring to speak out immediately gave the Third Imperial Concubine a sense of pride.
But the refreshing feeling only lasted for a moment, when Chu Qingyun suddenly strode in with a gloomy face.
The Third Princess was startled and was about to stand up to salute when she saw Chu Qingyun snatch the teacup from Chen Ruijin's hand and pull her up.
"Don't knees cost money? Kneel like this."
Chen Rujin looked at Chu Qingyun, who looked grim, and couldn't help but blink: "Why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, you wouldn't know how you would be bullied." Chu Qingyun said gritting his teeth.
As he spoke, he slammed the teacup heavily on the table, and his eyes shot towards the Third Imperial Concubine like a knife, striking at her like lightning, shocking the Third Imperial Concubine greatly.
"Cao Bingbing, I'm giving you face, right? How dare you show off to the concubine? Drink this tea or not, let's go."
"Your Highness, I..." Cao Bingbing wanted to explain in panic, but she saw Chu Qingyun pulling Chen Ruijin away without looking back.
I don't want to listen to her at all.
Watching the two people leaving in a hurry, the Third Imperial Concubine was so angry that her whole body was shaking. Her throat felt swollen as if she couldn't breathe, and her tears of grievance poured down like a flood that broke through the dam.
"Bitch, bitch..."
She grabbed the cup on the table and threw it away, cursing Chen Ruijin over and over again, but she could do nothing.
She just asked Chen Ruijin to kneel for a while, but His Highness treated her like this. How could one not be jealous and resentful to the point of madness when he doted on Chen Ruijin to this extent?
