The inner hall was quiet for a moment.
Everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked outside.
Qi Jinshi, dressed in red, walked over, holding two congratulatory gifts in his hand. His face was exquisite, his red clothes were like fire, and his brows and eyes exuded handsomeness because of the smile.
The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince quickly stood up to greet him, while the maid serving Liyi quickly gave Qi Jin a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Qi Jin walked to the table and looked at it. He first greeted the princes with gifts, and then said, "I am afraid of strangers, so just sit next to His Royal Highness."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone at the table couldn't help but look weird.
Shy?
The prince of Qi, who has been blaming the world for his criticism, said that he was afraid of life, which is really ridiculous.
Rong Cang was the main person at the table, and on the left and right sides were King Chen and King Heng respectively.
Qi Jin opened his mouth to sit next to Rong Cang, and one of King Chen and Prince Heng must give up his seat.
King Chen's face had not been good-looking since he entered the hall, and his brows had not relaxed until he sat down and started to use chopsticks. At this time, seeing Qi Jin's direct provocation, he actually suppressed his anger and stood up directly and said: " Please give up my position to Prince Qi."
Prince Heng stood up and said, "I'd better give in."
Qi Jin handed the gift to the servant standing by and walked to King Chen's seat very naturally, "I will take King Chen's seat."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became stagnant.
Is this Prince Qi too domineering?
A seat is indeed nothing, but by doing this in front of everyone, he is undoubtedly putting Prince Chen's face under his feet, even more severely than what the eighth prince said just now.
Is King Chen so popular?
"Your Highness, King Chen, don't you mind?" Qi Jin turned to look at King Chen, with a somewhat innocent smile on his face, "Everyone in the Chu Kingdom knows that King Chen and the princess are wise and generous, treat others gently, and respect the ministers of the family. I especially respect Mrs. Zhao of the Duke Protector’s Palace. As the legitimate son of Marquis Zhongyi and the only son of the eldest princess, Prince Chen should respect me."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize what Prince Qi meant.
He was clearly mocking the incident two months ago when Prince Chen and his wife attacked Chu Yunfei without mercy and actually had a conflict with a hero of the Zhao family. At that time, Prince Chen and his wife tried their best to defend Mrs. Zhao and kept saying that Chu Yunfei should be respected. The Zhao family should not argue with Zhao Yunrou.
King Chen's face was stiff, and the hand hanging by his side was almost pinched into his palm: "Prince Qi is right."
Qi Jin sat down directly next to Rong Cang, not caring whether it was in compliance with the rules or not. It was just a seat anyway. If King Chen cared about it, he was narrow-minded and petty. If he didn't care about it, he would just swallow it.
As long as he can embarrass the hypocrite King Chen, he will be happy.
King Chen in the outer hall was embarrassed, and Jiang Ying in the inner hall was naturally embarrassed.
Today they experienced the feeling of being ridiculed and ridiculed once they lost power.
At the table of the female relatives in the inner courtyard, several princesses sat on either side of Chu Yunfei, chatting with her in low voices, talking about their daily lives with the consorts and the condition of the children at home.
Especially the eldest princess, because her family background is low and her consort status is not high, the children in the family are not as valued as the children of the princes. Naturally, they do not have the opportunity to study in the palace. Recently, they have reached school age, and the couple began to He was worried whether he should hire a teacher to teach at home or go to a school outside.
Chu Yunfei said: "Children's learning is an issue that cannot be ignored. It needs to be carefully considered. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them. I will go back to discuss it with Rong Cang."
"Okay, thank you very much, Princess."
The third princess smiled and said: "My mother has often said recently that the Crown Princess is a prosperous husband, tolerant and principled. Let us ask the Crown Princess for advice. If there is anything we can't think of, we can ask the Crown Princess for advice."
"Of course." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, "I am pregnant now and can't do anything. If someone talks to me often, my life will not be so boring."
Princess Hengjun said tenderly: "This baby will definitely be a big fat boy."
"Rong Cang and I actually hope to have a daughter for our first child," Chu Yunfei said. "The daughter is cute and lovable. The boy is naughty and we have to worry about him early."
The princess nodded slowly: "Yes."
Princess Chen was left out in the cold the whole time, and all the delicacies on the table were tasteless in her mouth.
She looked coldly at the people surrounding Chu Yunfei and couldn't help but sneer. Wasn't it just temporary pride? What's so great about it?
Gentle and tolerant?
You are really telling lies with your eyes open.
Didn't they see it when Chu Yun was about to take revenge?
"You three are princesses, not cats and dogs on the roadside. No matter you are the prince-in-law or the prince-son-in-law's family, you cannot bully you." Chu Yunfei said in a calm voice, "When it's time to use your identity to put pressure, you should use your identity to put pressure. If If people think the princess is a doormat, they won't realize how bad their behavior is."
Rong Lianyue nodded.
"I will send someone back with you later to give the Luo family a warning. If they continue to do this in the future, don't blame the prince for punishing them for disrespecting the royal family."
"Okay." Rong Lianyue nodded, "Thank you, Crown Princess."
In the outer hall, Prince Qi spoke in a relaxed and public tone, as if he was a good at enlivening the atmosphere: "There are so many things going on in the past two days that even an idle person like me has been too busy. It's a case investigation and a housewarming party. After a few days, Today, the two princes are getting married again, and I have to prepare two congratulatory gifts, and then there is the ceremony for the enthronement of His Royal Highness... Tsk, tsk, tsk, all the important events have been rushed together."
The seventh prince looked at him silently: "If Prince Qi is unwilling to come, we two brothers will not hold grudges."
"What did His Highness the Seventh Prince say? How could I not join in the fun?" Qi Jin sneered, "Besides, this is the best occasion for me to establish a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince. We can sit at a table to eat food and drink in an open and honest manner. I won’t be accused of forming a clique for personal gain. Would I be stupid if I didn’t come?”
The Eighth Prince held his forehead: "Prince Qi, can you be more careful in what you say? Don't speak without restraint."
Forming a party for personal gain?
Can these words be said so casually?
Although Rong Cang has been established as the crown prince and it is natural to cultivate his own power, he should still avoid taboos, especially when disaster comes from his mouth.
Qi Jin is really...
"Qian Qi is not in good condition recently." Qi Jin turned to look at Rong Cang and suddenly changed the subject, "Does Your Highness plan to let him fend for himself or find a doctor?"
King Chen's nerves tightened, and his heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
Qianqi is dying?
Who did he bewitch? Are you still the mother-in-law?
If Qianqi is really dead, will they...
"Brother Sixth Emperor, what do you think we should do?" Rong Cang turned to look at King Chen, his eyes were cold and sharp, as if he had already seen through something, "Should a demon who delve into evil ways should be allowed to die?" A little more painful?"
Sweat oozed from King Chen's palms, and the cold sweat made him panic: "I...I don't quite understand what the ninth brother...the prince means, who is Qianqi? What evil ways has he delved into?"
This is pretending to be stupid in front of a table of people, and pretending to be so childish.
"In that case, don't pay attention to him. A demon is dead when he dies." Rong Cang withdrew his gaze, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and raised his glasses to the seventh and eighth princes, "Congratulations to the two royal brothers on their move."
"Don't dare." The two princes hurriedly put down their chopsticks, quickly picked up the wine glasses, stood up, and drank in return.
"Ninth brother." King Chen forced a smile, "Although I don't know who the demon you are talking about is, but if he is really evil, should we hand him over to our father to deal with him?"
As soon as he said this, Qi Jin turned to look at him in shock, as if he didn't know why this sentence came out of King Chen's mouth.
Is he sincere, or is he trying to make a fool of himself and jump over the wall?
"It's okay to let Father handle it." Rong Cang nodded slowly and said in a polite manner, "Qi Jin, find a doctor to look at him tonight and treat him for a few days until his mental state is better. , and then send it to the father."
"yes."
Prince Chen was sitting on pins and needles, his face was pale even with a forced smile. He saw that the prince consorts and the princes of Prince Rong's palace in the banquet were so silent that they didn't dare to have even a trace of curiosity.
Who is Qianqi?
What are the evil ways?
Why does King Chen look so scared?
Prince Qi seemed to be doing it on purpose and had a confident expression on his face. Why?
What kind of riddle are they playing?
Doubts flashed through my mind one by one, but no one dared to ask them, so that the housewarming party that was supposed to be full of joy felt like a guillotine-like uneasiness and stagnation.
