♂?,,
The princess was not pleased in her heart, Chu Yunting and her sister did not dare to say much, the two just sat there, only Zhu Yuxu and Zhu Yuhuan could still tease the princess and make her laugh.
Zhu Yingtai saw that Princess Junwang was in a bad mood and smiled, saying: "My child has something funny to say, would you like to hear it, Mother?"
"What's so funny?" The duchess asked in a soft voice.
"The day before yesterday, Father tested Xiaowu's homework and asked him to recite a chapter of the Analects, but Xiaowu couldn't recite it..."
At this point, Zhu Yuhuan was so flustered that he waved his hands wildly: "Ah, Third Brother, don't say it, don't mention this matter"
Zhu Yingtuo smiled and said: "Even if I don't say it, would Mother still not know?"
The two of them, one anxious and unable to speak, the other smiling and about to say something, piqued the curiosity of the Junwang Fei, who smiled and asked: "What is it? Quickly speak, Hui Xuan."
Zhu Yi Huan was acting like he was going to run away, clutching his chest and stomping his feet, while Zhu Yi Zhen laughed and pointed at him, warning: "Don't even think about leaving until I'm done speaking, just wait for Mother's decision."
He smiled and said to the princess, "Father was testing Old Seven's homework, and Old Five happened to be there, so he wanted to help Old Seven a bit. He quietly moved behind the screen to where Father couldn't see him, using gestures to remind Old Seven. Old Seven looked at his reminders, stumbling over his words, but managed to recite some of it. However, the two were too engrossed in what they were doing, one gesturing and the other sneaking a peek, neither of them noticing that Father had already seen them. He stood on the other side of the screen, staring at Old Five for half a day, but the two didn't discover him until they suddenly felt something was off. When they saw Father standing there, they were both startled..."
The princess of the county king has burst out laughing, pointing at Zhu Yuhuan and shaking her head with a smile, while Chu Yun Ting and her sister also cover their mouths and laugh along.
Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said: "Father has already punished us that day, Mother, please show mercy and spare the children this time."
The princess of the county king smiled and said: "...... Well, I'll have to call Father to deal with these two people"
"It's all because of Xiao Qi," Zhu Yuhuan complained.
"If you don't help him become a ghost, how can he be punished?" The princess of the county king said: "The older brother doesn't know to supervise his younger brother studying hard, but instead they join forces to make trouble"
"Son was wrong... Father scolded son when son already knew his mistake"
"One mouth, one father's teachings, but why remind Mother not to teach anymore?" Zhu Yuxu asked with a smile.
Zhu Yuhuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and looked at the Princess of Junwang: "Mother..."
"The princess shook her head and said: 'Since Father has already scolded you, I won't say much more. Just don't do this again in the future.'"
"Yes, child, I won't dare again." Zhu Yuhuan said with a smile.
Zhu Yuxu saw the gentle and calm face of the princess, and he finally relaxed. He glanced around and not far away, Huiyue felt his gaze, hurriedly looked over, Zhu Yuxu didn't say anything, and turned away again.
After sitting for a while, the princess called everyone to disperse. Chu Yunting and Chu Yunqing still supported her as they were about to leave. The princess said: "You all go back by yourselves, it's been half a day outside."
The two men did not dare to persist and could only bow their heads and leave.
On this side, Zhu Yuxu and Zhu Yuhe, the two sons, supported the King's wife back, the King's wife was about to mention the three sisters' matter, but saw San'er's maid, Bimonthly, standing not far away, wanting to speak but stopping, looking over here without daring to come over, she asked: "Is Bimonthly looking for something?"
Zhu Yifei also took a glance and said lightly: "Maybe something's up... Let the child send his mother back first."
"Since there's something going on, let's go take a look. If Huo Ran supports me, that's all I need."
"Right, Third Brother, I'll help Mother back," Zhu Yuhuan hastily said.
Zhu Yingtai could only apologize to the princess and left first.
Zhu Yuhuan himself supported the county king's wife and walked back, smiling: "Fourth sister is still young, willing to invite people to care for her, seeing you praised third sister twice, she was jealous, mother doesn't have to be angry because of a child."
The princess heard him say the central matter, sighed and said: "In the past, I really misjudged his childhood temperament. Growing up doesn't mean it will always be like that. He was a bit dull as a child, but now he's different. However, I think Cloud Clear is more likable now. As a child, she looked extremely cute, but why does she speak so frivolously now?"
"Mother, you really don't know? Is it because... you?" Zhu Yuhuan chuckled and said: "All want to please you."
The princess turned her head and looked at him with a scolding expression: "Just clever" She could naturally hear the pause in her son's voice, and she also understood why he had paused. The two of them tacitly agreed to drop the matter.
Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said, "The child is also telling the truth. Think about it, all three of your nieces are from your family. If they really get serious, because of this fuss, no one will have a good face."
One sentence suddenly reminded the princess that she really had a feeling of being enlightened, and she patted Zhu Yuhuan's hand and said: "My son is still an onlooker, and even his mother was confused about this matter."
Zhu Yuhuan saw that the county king's consort was moved, and immediately took advantage of the situation to laugh and say: "Your Ladyship is not confused, but because the three sisters-in-law are your own nieces, it's all right no matter who you look at."
"That's right."
Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing unclear about it. The third and fourth sisters are likable, but ultimately can't compare to the second sister... in your heart."
The princess of the county king smiled and asked: "How did you feel like this?"
"Mother, I'm telling you the truth, don't be offended."
"Never mind, we're just chatting, no need for such formalities."
"Yes, Third Sister Mei, her temperament indeed seems fine, and she's also quite pretty... but after all, she is a concubine-born..."
The princess of the county was surprised and said: "How can there still be such an idea? The children born out of wedlock are not inferior to those born in wedlock in any way."
" Illegitimate sons and legitimate sons are indeed the same, but illegitimate daughters and legitimate daughters are different. Girls originally have small hearts, and if they are born out of wedlock, there will always be some servants who are jealous and don't know what's going on. The way they serve is not as meticulous as that of legitimate daughters. Illegitimate daughters being bullied or given the cold shoulder is normal, but if they harbor resentment in their hearts, they will develop a petty and narrow-minded female temperament, which can make them ill. This is a small matter, but if they store up this anger with the servants and release it all at once, won't that lose face for everyone? Zhu Yuhuan smiled and said: "But illegitimate sons are different. Even if the servants have the audacity, they wouldn't dare treat the young masters differently. Which family's master is allowed to be manipulated by the servants?"
The princess looked at him in surprise and said: "How can you have such an understanding?"
"You mustn't think too much of it, I have a reason for saying this. You know Zhao's third son, he's quite close to me. Previously, his family arranged a marriage for him with a girl born out of wedlock. Although Mr. and Mrs. Zhao agreed, only Old Lady Zhao disagreed, which is why she said those things earlier. But Mr. and Mrs. Zhao didn't argue back, insisting that the girl was well-behaved, not at all like what Old Lady Zhao described. In the end, they still married that girl, but soon after, something happened. He smiled and said: "I'm close to Zhao's third son, he doesn't hide anything from me, so he told me about the whole thing. After listening, I actually think Old Lady Zhao was right, which is why I remembered those words when it comes to Third Cousin."
The princess finally put down her suspicions and sighed, saying: "My child, this way of speaking makes me realize even more that you are the only one who is on the same wavelength as me. If I were to say this to those children like Lao Er or Lao Liu, they would not dare to speak their minds and would not be able to have a heart-to-heart talk with me."
"Mother treats all of us children the same. Those who think too much are just looking for trouble, and we won't think about those useless things."
"Yes, they have half of their mind, and I'm also at ease"
Zhu Yuhuan quickly brought the topic back: "And fourth sister, after all, is young and doesn't understand things, likes to talk back to people, in comparison, second sister looks dignified and steady, really good."
The princess smiled and nodded, turning her head to look at him with a smile: "Look at the second sister-in-law, not bad, how about telling?"
Zhu Yuhuan was shocked, his hands trembled as he held hers, and in surprise almost said, "Aren't we talking about Third Brother's marriage?" Fortunately, the words did not escape his lips.
The princess looked at his surprised look and smiled: "What? So surprised? With the fourth elder already having a coming-of-age ceremony, it's time to find a relative"
Zhu Yuhuan finally calmed down, laughing and saying: "So mother was just teasing me... I'm so shocked! Now that Third Brother and Fourth Brother are still not married, how can it be my turn?"
"We three have an age difference of less than a year and want to be together"
Zhu Yuhuan forced a smile, feeling extremely uneasy in his heart. Could it be that the candidate for Zhu Yu's legitimate wife, the county king's consort, no longer wanted to choose from among his three nieces?
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately thought of many things. The princess has always treated me like her own son, and now she wants me to marry Chu Yunting, so that she can still get the benefit of having a daughter-in-law from a good family, while on the other hand, finding an even better girl for Zhu Yujie? Is she scared by what happened with the crown prince's wife? She doesn't dare to rashly marry off Chu Yunting to Zhu Yujie, if it goes well then that's fine, but if not, wouldn't that be a slap in her face? But marrying me is different, if I'm like the crown prince's wife and don't behave properly, then she can just distance herself from me and my wife, and pretend we have nothing to do with her. But if it goes well, then I'll be her own daughter-in-law!
Zhu Yuhuan secretly lamented in her heart. Originally, she wanted to pull Chu Ke'er out of the three daughter-in-law candidates in the eyes of the King's wife, but unexpectedly, she ended up getting herself trapped instead. What a predicament!
The princess looked at him and didn't speak, smiling and saying: "Why aren't you speaking?"
Zhu Yuhuan lowered his head, blushed and smiled: "What are you talking about..."
The princess thought he was referring to marriage and felt embarrassed, so he smiled and stopped talking.
Back at the county king's wife's house, Zhu Yuhuan bid farewell and left.
It is by.
