The dishes on the table have not been reduced due to the financial constraints of the palace, so every time when Li Junche is at home, someone will ask him to come with him.
"Are you going to eldest brother's house tomorrow?" Li Junche knew that Wen Jinhe was going to the banquet yesterday, but he just didn't have time to ask.
Wen Jinhe frowned, there were quite a lot of fish bones today, "Yes, Sister-in-law Wang sent me an invitation, so I don't want to go."
"My lord, what do you think of the gift I picked for my eldest brother's eldest daughter?" She motioned to Man Qiu to place the longevity lock in front of Li Junche.
"The longevity lock has a very good meaning. You made a good choice." Looking at the gold-inlaid red agate longevity lock that was as big as the palm of your hand, Li Junche nodded.
Wen Jinhe raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Junche with a half-smile, "Not only does it have a good meaning, but it's also expensive, costing a full 300 taels of silver."
Li Junche stopped picking vegetables with his chopsticks and felt a little numbness in his back. He looked at Wen Jinhe and said, "I still have some jewelry in my private treasury that my father gave me a few years ago. You can pick it up when you have time."
The things given by the emperor cannot be sold anyway, sooner or later they will all belong to Wen Jinhe.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Jinhe was now satisfied. He had to use his wife's private property to give gifts to the man's family. If he didn't ask for them back, the number of gifts would become more and more frequent in the future.
After finishing the meal, Li Junche did not leave for the first time. He sat on the couch and drove all the servants out.
"The relationship between me and my eldest and third brothers is not a good one. I'm afraid you will be in trouble if you go there tomorrow. If you encounter any trouble, you can ask my servants to look for me outside the city." In fact, there is also the reason for Wen Jinhe's status, which is unavoidable. Being ridiculed.
Wen Jinhe thought it was something, "Send someone to look for you outside the city. When you come back, the banquet will be over. Don't worry, I'm not that easy to bully."
Li Junche, as a hussar general, held heavy troops.
In addition, he has made many military exploits over the years. Although he is not favored by the emperor, there are forces in the court that support him.
Each of the three princes of the Beidi Kingdom has the possibility of ascending to the throne. There is fierce competition between the three, and the relationship between the three is not good at all. They are covered by a layer of window paper and can be broken with a poke.
Li Junche saw Wen Jinhe's indifferent expression, "There are many female relatives at the full moon banquet, so it is inevitable to say some unpleasant things, but there is no need to endure it. After all, you are my princess, the royal daughter-in-law, and you have a distinguished status."
Wen Jinhe's eyes stopped on Li Junche's neck, feeling a little sexy.
For a moment, I couldn't help but stretched out my hand to hook his collar, and ran my thumb across the protrusion between his neck, "If I get into trouble, will the prince protect me?"
Li Junche grabbed Wen Jinhe's right hand and pushed it away. He stood up and straightened his collar, "As long as it's not a big deal, I will protect you."
With the soft touch still left on her fingertips, Wen Jinhe raised her eyebrows and smiled, watching Li Junche disappear around the corner.
The next day, Wen Jinhe took Man Qiu and Man Dong to Prince Heng's Mansion.
Prince Heng's Mansion is located in the west of the city, closest to the palace.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Li Yuheng was favored.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion.
Seeing Prince Che's carriage, many of the female family members stopped and stopped.
"The person coming should be Princess Che, the princess of Linyue Kingdom."
"I heard that Princess Che is beautiful, but I don't know if the rumors are true."
Wen Jinhe felt a little uncomfortable. He ate too much in the morning and felt a little motion sick and nauseous.
The moment she got out of the car, all the voices around her disappeared.
The comparison between women, apart from their husbands, is about appearance and talent.
Just standing there, Wen Jinhe overshadowed the women around him.
No matter how reluctant you are, the superficial salute is still necessary, "Greetings to Princess Che."
"Get up." Even though they were strangers, they had to smile and socialize. This was why Wen Jinhe didn't want to come.
The maid from Prince Heng's Mansion immediately took Wen Jinhe to the backyard.
For this full moon banquet, all the male guests were arranged in the front yard, and the female guests were all in the backyard, adjacent to the garden, with a great view.
When she got closer, Man Qiu whispered: "Princess, the one wearing the red lily skirt is Princess Heng, and the one wearing the yellow phoenix tail skirt is Princess Lin."
Today, all the female relatives of Beidi Kingdom's third-rank and above court officials are here, dancing and dancing. At a glance, they are all women.
When the female relatives in the garden saw the strange woman, they first wondered which family she belonged to?
Then he saw where Wen Jinhe was sitting and immediately guessed her identity.
Princess Heng, who was sitting in the upper seat, didn't like Wen Jinhe at first sight.
The limelight suddenly overshadowed him, which was really an eyesore.
Despite this, Princess Heng introduced her to everyone openly, "Everyone probably doesn't know this Princess Che. It's really hard work for her to travel across thousands of mountains and ridges to get married in Beidi."
Wen Jinhe clearly saw the contempt and ridicule in the eyes of a female family member sitting opposite him.
"Our prince is a man of great talent and military prowess, and his appearance is outstanding. He is a perfect match for me, so the hardship is worth it."
Man Qiu cleverly knelt down to pour tea.
Wen Jinhe looked very happy and content while drinking tea from a white porcelain cup, and there was no sign of displeasure at all.
The unmarried women in the boudoir couldn't help but feel a little depressed after hearing this, and they couldn't help but look at Wen Jinhe with jealousy in their eyes.
Who says it's not the case? How many women in Beidi Kingdom want to marry Li Junche.
However, she was overtaken by the princess of Linyue Kingdom, and she still took the position of the principal concubine.
Wen Jinhe felt a very strong gaze, looked over, and found that it was Princess Lin.
"Prince Che swept through thousands of troops on the battlefield and captured the city of Linyue Kingdom. My second sister-in-law must feel bad."
Everyone listened with pricked ears. Their status made it difficult to offend the new princess, but the two above were not afraid.
Princess Lin was very dissatisfied with Wen Jinhe and had long planned to teach her a lesson.
Who told Li Zhilin to see Wen Jinhe's appearance during the church visit that day and then return home to say a few words in front of her.
Wen Jinhe raised the corners of his lips and said calmly: "I heard that my younger brother and sister had a deep love for my prince when they were still in the boudoir. If we had become pregnant back then, there would be nothing to do with me. It's a pity that my looks are ordinary and I didn't catch my prince's attention."
"What are you talking about? How can you spoil my Qinggui?" Princess Lin couldn't sit still when she heard this.
Wen Jinhe covered her mouth apologetically, "I just came to Beidi, and I only heard the people talking in the city. I thought it was true. If I said something wrong, please forgive me."
Princess Lin looked at Wen Jinhe with a livid face, crumpling the handkerchief in her hand, "The rumors cannot be taken seriously. Second sister-in-law should listen less to rumors."
Wen Jinhe frowned slightly, as if he was distressed and said, "If I had known better, I would have asked my prince if the matter was true, and I wouldn't have made a joke today."
Wen Jinhe's words made Princess Lin's face become even more ugly.
There were many people talking quietly in the corner.
