"How can a man's promise be easily believed?" Princess Chen shook her head helplessly, as if she was in disbelief at Chu Yunfei's thoughts, "Besides, as women we should be generous. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If it is too much Being jealous will make people feel jealous."
"Don't let people think that I am jealous." Chu Yunfei smiled casually, "To be honest, my useless concubine is still a young girl. She only wants to enter the palace of the prince, but she has not even seen Rong Cang. No chance."
Princess Chen looked slightly nervous and subconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Is Chu Yunjiao still a yellow-flowered girl?
When Rong Cang wanted to divorce his wife, he made a big fuss because of Chu Yunjiao. Even if he realized his mistake later and woke up, it could at least prove that he was obsessed with Chu Yunjiao at that time.
But why has he never touched Chu Yunjiao after so long?
Could it be that it was a lie that I liked Chu Yunjiao at the beginning?
A gloomy look flashed across Princess Chen's eyes as she thought about what happened during that time. She always felt that there were too many secrets hidden in Prince Zhan's Mansion, making it impossible to distinguish the true from the false.
Are the changes of heart and betrayal that appear to others just another cover-up to confuse others?
What on earth does Rong Cang want to do?
The winding corridor comes to the end, and in front is a spacious flower hall.
The fragrance floats in the air, the gurgling water echoes in my ears, and I immediately feel relaxed and happy.
Most of the ladies who came to attend the flower-viewing banquet went to the garden. There was only one woman sitting in the flower hall holding a scroll in her hand. She was Qin Zhilan, the granddaughter of Taifu Qin's family.
Seeing the three princesses coming together, Qin Zhilan closed the book and calmly stood up to greet her: "My daughter, Qin Zhilan, has met the three princesses."
Princess Chen quickly held her hand and spoke enthusiastically: "Miss Qin, there is no need to be polite. How are you doing, Master Taifu?"
Princess Yu saw the enthusiasm shown on her face, her eyes were small and thoughtful.
"Thank you for your concern, Princess Chen. My grandfather is still strong." Qin Zhilan nodded.
"That's good." Princess Chen said with a smile, "Master Taifu is highly virtuous and respected. He is a great Confucian who is admired by all the civil and military students of the Chu Kingdom and the world. My prince often talks about Taifu's words, saying that Taifu is knowledgeable and broad-minded. He is broad and well-known, and he is a famous official of a generation."
Chu Yunfei walked aside and sat down, leaning lazily on the railing, ignoring their friendly conversation.
"To be honest, my brother and I have always admired the virtuous name of His Highness, King Chen." Qin Zhilan glanced at Chu Yunfei calmly, with a dignified and graceful smile at the corner of her mouth, but it did not reach her eyes, "His Royal Highness, King Chen, has a noble concubine. With careful guidance, and with the help of Princess Chen, a well-educated and legitimate wife, I hope that in the future, I will be able to become a virtuous and famous person, and show my ambitions."
If she thought that these vaguely suggestive words could change Chu Yunfei's face, then she was obviously going to be disappointed.
Chu Yunfei leaned on the railing and casually looked at the scenery of beauties walking together in the garden. Her voice was leisurely and leisurely: "Many noble ladies in the capital came to the flower viewing party today, and Princess Yu's sister is also here."
Princess Yu froze when she heard this. Thinking of the previous conflict between Zhao Yunrou and the princess, she subconsciously thought that she must have bad intentions when she suddenly mentioned Zhao Yunrou. Thinking of Emperor Mu's previous warning, she would not dare to talk to Chu Yun again today no matter what. Conflict arose.
Princess Yu could only smile with her face: "Yunrou has been staying at home in confinement and reflecting for a few days, and she was severely punished by her grandmother and aunt. She has offended her ninth younger siblings in the past, so I hope they don't have the same understanding as her."
"Fourth sister-in-law misunderstood." Chu Yunfei said calmly, her eyes falling on a goose-yellow figure not far away, "I just saw an acquaintance, and I mentioned it casually. I heard that Miss Jiang will also come today, and Dou The daughter of the Chancellor and the fifth princess... they have been learning the rules in the Queen's Palace for several days, and I don't know how they are doing."
The understatement made the smile on Princess Chen's face disappear instantly. Her face darkened. She suddenly thought of the reason why Jiang Qian and Dou Huiran were punished, and the handkerchief in her hand tightened unconsciously.
Almost all of the recent incidents in the imperial city that involved those who were punished had something to do with Chu Yunfei.
Although the guests at today's flower viewing banquet are all women, their grandfathers and fathers are from different political parties, which means that they themselves also represent different positions.
With so many people gathering together, I wonder what kind of conflicts will arise?
"The Empress personally appointed Grandma to teach her, so she must have learned the rules very well." Princess Chen smiled softly, "I met the fifth princess later, and she probably looked at her with admiration."
"I think that although the fifth princess is a little unruly and willful, she has a true temperament that is rare among all the princesses in the royal family." Qin Zhilan spoke slowly and slowly, her tone was gentle and reserved, "The fifth princess is born with dignity, so naturally she disdains flattery. , so when you meet someone you really like, you will be willing to give, and when you meet someone you hate, you will also be unable to restrain yourself from showing disgust. This is human nature and a true manifestation of emotions, and should not be overly harsh."
Princess Chen nodded: "Miss Qin is absolutely right."
Chu Yunfei smiled faintly and nodded: "As expected of a famous official in the Qing Dynasty, Miss Qin's heart is indeed not comparable to that of girls from a small family like me."
Qin Zhilan twitched the corner of her mouth and was about to say something else when a high-pitched announcement suddenly sounded in the distance: "The Queen has arrived——"
In the flower hall, the three princesses and Miss Qin stood up together and took a few steps forward to greet her. The ladies who had made an appointment to visit the garden in twos and threes also hurriedly turned around and returned to greet the Queen Fengjia respectfully.
"Daughter-in-law, please see the Queen. She is a thousand years old!"
"My lord, please see the Queen. She is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
Also following the queen was Xie Danshu, whom she had not seen for several days. She raised her eyes slightly and nodded slightly to Chu Yunfei, who smiled and returned the greeting.
"They are all flat." The queen came closer and raised her hand to show off her courtesy, "I have not been involved in worldly affairs for many years, and I am unfamiliar with many young girls in the capital. Today I specially held a flower viewing banquet to get acquainted with you all."
As he spoke, he looked around with a gentle smile on his face: "When I saw them today, they all had bright faces and full of vitality. I am very pleased."
"The Empress is graceful and noble, and her bearing is outstanding, but we juniors cannot compare with her." Princess Chen smiled and complimented, "My daughter-in-law still needs to learn more from the Empress."
The Queen laughed: "I have been neglecting things for many years, so how can I have any outstanding magnanimity? If so, Concubine Gu has a better magnanimity."
As she spoke, she waved to Chu Yunfei very naturally: "But it is true that Princess Zhan is the most beautiful woman in the world. Such a beautiful face makes me happy every time I look at her."
"Thank you very much for the compliment, Queen." Chu Yunfei knelt down to thank her. "My daughter-in-law is ashamed."
Princess Chen's face tightened, and her heart was cast into a shadow for no reason.
"Beauty is beauty, what is there to be ashamed of?" The queen held her hand, walked to the flower hall together, and motioned for her to sit next to her, "Sit down."
