Chapter 267 King of Qin
After Rong Jinchen left, Su Zhenzhen pinched little Tangyuan's nose lovingly, her movements very gently, "Chao Chao, you're a clingy girl." Her tone was very doting, and little Tangyuan's peach blossom eyes curved into a toothless smile.
Lu Wu was giggling on the side when she suddenly heard the princess' voice, "Lu Wu, go ask the kitchen to prepare some dumplings." Su Zhenzhen looked at the dumplings and couldn't help but kiss their little chubby cheeks, which looked just like Crayon Shin-chan. They were so cute that her heart trembled.
Lu Wu took the order and left. Su Zhenzhen sat on the chaise longue. Zijuan and Baishuang took off her head ornaments, leaving only a white jade hairpin and a peony velvet flower.
She held the rather heavy little glutinous rice ball in her arms and picked up a rattle from the side to coax him, "Look, this is Chaochao's favorite rattle, look." Little glutinous rice ball's big black eyes stared at the rattle in her hand, clear and pure like the brightest obsidian in the world, which made people feel soft in the heart.
Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but be lost in thought. No wonder they say babies' eyes are the brightest. So cute.
harem.
Xianfu Palace.
The virtuous concubine's daughter, the third princess Rong Ruoqin, was twenty-one years old this year. She had been married for five years, but she had something to hide. "Mother, I discovered that my husband was having an affair with my uncle's concubine..."
There was no law in this dynasty requiring the prince consort not to take concubines. Before marrying the princess, the prince consort would have a palace maid, and usually the prince consort would take his first wife as a concubine.
Because princesses of this dynasty were not allowed to participate in politics and their status was not high, they could not force their husbands not to take concubines like princesses of some dynasties.
Of course, in those dynasties when the princes-in-law were not allowed to take concubines, the princes-in-law also had affairs with people and palace maids.
Princess Five is one of the few who does not take concubines. His Majesty Rong Yue does not care much about the princess, and the princess's husband will also treat her differently according to her circumstances. The princess's brother is favored and holds real power, so he will coax the princess instead of treating her with respect on the surface.
Of course, they didn't dare to abuse or bully the princess, as she was of royal blood.
It doesn’t matter whether His Majesty cares about the princess or not. The key is that someone dared to step on the princess, which is a step on the face of the royal family.
The third princess Rong Ruoqin spoke for Su Zhenzhen at the Qiu Mi three years ago. She is a straightforward person and speaks her mind.
She also understood that not everyone was as pure in love as her fourth brother and his wife. If the prince consort wanted to take a concubine, why didn't he just tell her no?
Do you really think she cares?
Rong Ruoqin hated this kind of hypocrite the most. Just because she saw that her younger brother was favored by her father in the past six months, he came to her yard more frequently.
If she were to say, a man like the prince consort is not as good as the eunuchs around her. At least they can serve her comfortably.
Now you know how to please her. Did you really think she was blind when you were so lustful for beauty in those few years?
She even hooked up with her brother-in-law's concubine. She really threw her face on the ground and stepped on it!
The virtuous concubine sighed and touched the hand of the third princess Rong Ruoqin, "Qin'er, do you want to divorce?" Her precious daughter could not bear such grievances. Although the status of princesses in this dynasty was not high, divorce and remarriage were still possible.
Although His Majesty has not been in a good mood in recent months, he would still agree to this kind of thing.
The third princess Rong Ruoqin was silent for a moment, then she said, "Mother, I want to divorce him." Divorce is too easy for him.
The front hall of Wuying Palace.
Rong Jinchen, who had just walked to the palace gate, saw his second brother Rong Jinyou, who had arrived late. He grabbed his arm and patted his shoulder, "Second brother."
Compared to his previous gentle appearance, Rong Jinyou's temperament has become much calmer and thinner. When he saw Rong Jinchen, his eyes darkened, and then he smiled again, "Achen."
Rong Jinchen didn't say anything else. He silently tightened his hand that was patting Rong Jinyou's shoulder and curled the corners of his lips.
Instead, Rong Jinyou smiled and said, "I haven't seen my nephew yet, Chaochao, right? Does he look like Achen?" Even the way he referred to himself changed.
The handsome young man smiled deeply when talking about his beautiful wife and young son. "Chao Chao has a pair of peach blossom eyes exactly like Qing Qing. They are very beautiful. But other parts of her look like me." He and Rong Jinyou walked into the hall while talking.
When everyone saw His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin take their seats together, the hall, which had been bustling with cheers, fell silent for a moment, and then they began to greet each other as if nothing had happened.
Prince Jin Rong Jinyu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin hasn't appeared in public for half a year." He finally didn't have to salute Rong Jinyou.
Rong Jinyou nodded lightly, "Yes." King Jin Rong Jinyu, who felt himself to be boring, did not feel embarrassed at all. He raised the white jade wine glass in his hand, toasted Rong Jinyou, and drank it himself.
Mr. Hu is indeed a man of great talent. Although my father deposed the crown prince, he also made him the King of Qin.
Qin is the name of the country, no wonder Mr. Hu told him not to act too hastily.
Prince Duan Rong Jinqi was also surrounded by many ministers, as was Prince Chu Rong Jinyan. Prince Xian Rong Jinzhen smiled at them friendly.
When it was time to take a seat, Rong Jinchen looked at his seat and was about to sit down when Yu Manquan, who was standing by, said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince of Yan, His Majesty said that you should sit next to him this year. His Majesty is happy that the little prince was born. You are taking advantage of the little prince." I don't know how His Majesty used this as an excuse. Clearly, judging from the title, His Highness Prince of Qin is the first.
Rong Jinyou walked to Rong Jinchen's usual seat, sat down calmly, and said to him with a smile: "Achen, go ahead, the dinner is about to start." His expression was as usual, as if the scorching gazes of everyone in the hall did not exist.
Rong Jinchen frowned and pursed his lips and said, "Okay." He walked to the white marble steps and sat down as if no one was around, ignoring the enthusiastic looks from the people below.
Soon, His Majesty Rong Yue arrived.
"Your son/your humble servant pays homage to your father/Your Majesty. May your father/Your Majesty live forever." The unanimous voice echoed throughout the magnificent and golden palace filled with the sounds of ritual music and warmth.
Rong Yue subconsciously looked at Rong Jinyou, who was sitting in the first seat on the left below. He had lost weight.
"No need to be polite." He said calmly, sat down, and then said to Rong Jinyou: "King Qin, you should go to court after the New Year. You have been idle for a long time."
He looked at Rong Jinchen beside him and said, "Chen'er, where is Chaochao? Bring him here for me to see." He missed his chubby grandson so much.
Rong Jinchen raised his thin lips slightly, "Father, Chaochao is only three months old, and it's cold now, so he can't go out. Qingqing didn't come to the palace banquet either. She is staying at home with Chaochao. Chaochao is very clingy."
After realizing what was happening, Rong Yue smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Chaochao's health is more important. I don't mind spending this little time." He looked into the hall again, said some of the usual clichés every year, and then started the banquet.
During the banquet, the slightly tipsy His Majesty finally fixed his gaze on Rong Jinyou's seat.
Rong Jinyou was not surprised. His father had looked at him many times in the past half hour, and he had to go through this sooner or later.
"King Qin, have you understood what I meant in the past six months?" He still looked at Rong Jinyou with expectation.
