Chapter 207 Love
The next day, Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen went to the East Palace on time, as it was impossible to go any earlier.
On the way, Su Zhenzhen suddenly remembered something. "My dear, besides the Crown Princess, who else is there in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace?" She had just remembered.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou definitely has more than one Crown Princess, but Su Zhenzhen has never been to the Eastern Palace since she got married. In the past, she and the Crown Princess were just sisters-in-law.
The only ones who can play with her are the Crown Princess, Princess Jin, Princess Duan, and now there is also the Princess Chu.
As for the prince's concubines and other concubines, she had only seen them from afar at banquets such as the annual banquet. After all, Su Zhenzhen always came and left on time.
Even though it had been a year and a half since their marriage and two years since the New Year, she still didn't know how many women the prince had.
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips. How would he know? He then whispered to Su Zhenzhen, "I don't know either." He called out to Gu Heng, who was sitting in the front of the carriage, "Gu Heng, come in."
When Gu Heng heard the voice of his prince, he hurriedly shook his cloak, revealing his cheeks, then turned and got into the carriage, closed the door tightly, and said with a smile: "What do you want, Your Highness?" He was not actually too cold. The prince was considerate of his health and wore thick clothes and had a hand warmer and a bamboo charcoal stove.
Seeing Gu Heng come in and closing the carriage door, Su Zhenzhen said to Gu Heng: "How many women are there in the Eastern Palace?" She also suddenly remembered it. After all, the prince seemed to have quite a few children?
Su Zhenzhen only gave Xun'er a meeting gift after her marriage. The meeting gifts for the prince's other children were prepared by Gu Heng.
The prince's concubines were different from ordinary concubines. They were all listed in the imperial jade disc. She wasn't that extreme and would be disgusted by a woman who wasn't the wife.
Gu Heng replied with a smile, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince now has two concubines, two concubines, six concubines, and seven other concubines." Including the Crown Princess, there are twenty-one people in total.
Su Zhenzhen was shocked. Good god, are the women in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace so insignificant? She only knew that Concubine Qi's father was the one who caused trouble during the locust plague last year.
And he actually ascended to the throne so quickly, and now he has a new concubine? She still remembered that at the end of last year, Duke Dingguo wanted to give his eldest daughter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a concubine.
However, later on, Lady Dingguo married Ye Yixuan directly to the Yunnan Provincial Government, that is, to her nephew from her mother's side.
Because Duke Dingguo's Mansion was Rong Jinchen's in-laws' family, Su Zhenzhen asked Gu Heng to send an additional dowry as a favor.
Seeing His Highness waving his hand, Gu Heng closed the door and went out. Rong Jinchen looked at Su Zhenzhen's surprised face and lowered his head to look at her, "What's wrong, Qingqing?" She blurted out, "I didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to be in such good health." After realizing what she had said, she looked at Rong Jinchen's handsome face which was slightly gloomy, and hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. No, I meant that His Highness the Crown Prince is very similar to father. It's not..." How could she be so tongue-tied?
She buried her little face in his chest and put her arms around him, "Husband, I didn't mean to say you can't do it. You are the best." Huh, she finally made it clear.
Rong Jinchen stretched out his slender, bony fingers and lifted her delicate, snow-white chin, "I know." According to Rong Jinchen's train of thought, his father and second brother, the Crown Prince, were not as virtuous as he was, so they did not get love.
Fortunately, Su Zhenzhen didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise, wouldn't he be amazed at how terrifying the power of love brain is?
East Palace.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou was talking to the Crown Princess. Looking at the Crown Princess who was as respectful and polite to him as always, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.
Ah Chen and his sister-in-law got married last August, but now it's the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, how come they are still as loving as ever? He saw other newlyweds and they didn't seem to be so affectionate.
Not to mention himself.
The Crown Princess then said: "Your Highness, would you like to let the sisters in the backyard chat with Fourth Brother's wife? It will be more lively with more people." She didn't want to, but as the Crown Princess, she had to bring it up first, otherwise it would be considered that she was jealous and intolerant.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou frowned slightly, "No need. I and the Crown Princess invited Achen and my fourth brother's wife to visit the East Palace. Achen will be unhappy that so many people come to disturb my fourth brother's wife." How could he not understand his own brother?
Princess Luo Muxue's eyes moved slightly, "Come to think of it, Xun'er hasn't seen his fourth uncle for a long time, and he keeps talking about wanting to see the beautiful fourth aunt." Xun'er is only four years old this year, and is still at the age of loving to play.
Su Zhenzhen saw some toys suitable for children on the street and bought two for herself, claiming one for herself and Rong Jinchen, one for her future child, and a few more for her nephews and nieces. Well, Rong Jinchen's nephew only had one, which was Xun Ge'er's.
So Xun Ge'er has a very good impression of his fourth aunt who is said to be super super beautiful.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou pondered for a moment and said, "Xun'er is smart and behaves like an older brother. When the time comes, he can take Achen and his younger brother's children to play together." He didn't think that Xun'er could be of the same mind as his illegitimate children and brothers.
Thinking of this, Crown Prince Rong Jinyou recalled his own court battles with the Princes of Jin and Chu, his brow furrowed to the point of pinching a fly. After a moment's silence, he said with a wry smile, "Princess, I'm a little envious of Ah Chen." The Crown Princess remained silent; she couldn't accept this. She could only evade the question, "Your Highness is the best prince in my heart," not my husband.
After Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen arrived at the Eastern Palace, they saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess who had fallen into silence.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince/Second Brother Crown Prince." Before Rong Jinchen could finish his greetings, he was stopped by Crown Prince Rong Jinyou. He nodded and smiled at Su Zhenzhen.
Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen also nodded to the Crown Princess. Su Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Greetings, Crown Princess." The Crown Princess stood up and took Su Zhenzhen's hand affectionately. "Fourth brother's wife is finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Fourth brother is finally willing to take you out." Rong Jinchen and Crown Prince Rong Jinyou also walked over and sat down.
The Eastern Palace is magnificent, majestic and solemn. It is the most powerful place besides the Weiyang Palace.
The furnishings in the house are low-key, luxurious yet charming. The golden crane-style incense burner is filled with precious sandalwood, which is very soothing.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes lit up as she looked at the rosewood round table with cloud patterns, which was filled with all kinds of her favorite snacks and candied fruits.
"Crown Princess Sister-in-law really understands me. I'm a little hungry." She sat directly next to Rong Jinchen and looked at them, "Crown Princess Sister-in-law, what are we having for lunch?" Crown Prince Rong Jinyou couldn't help laughing. He looked at Rong Jinchen, "Achen, do you usually make your sister-in-law hungry?"
Rong Jinchen raised his eyelids and did not pay attention to him first. Instead, he directly untied Su Zhenzhen's fox fur cloak with gold-woven pink feather satin and white fox fur lining. He had untied his own black fox cloak when he spoke earlier.
Su Zhenzhen smiled at him and said, "Thank you, husband."
