Chapter 78

Madam Zhao thought about it for a long time before saying, "This old slave really doesn't know."

Chen Jin listened to the curiosity, put his finger into Dongdong's hand, and asked him to grab it, "Is there a prince of my mother apart from my father?"

Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment and thought, "Yes, Princess Rui is older than Prince Rui... I thought of one thing. When Concubine Liu gave birth to the sixth prince, she disappeared. The sixth prince was adopted by the queen mother in the palace. At that time, the prince had already married the prince and the queen mother in the first place. The queen mother was not in good health. Although the sixth prince was raised in the name of the queen mother in the first place, they were all taken care of by the prince and the princess. The sixth prince also admired the prince... It really happened that the sixth prince was more suitable for Princess Rui. Before the accident, the princess specially summoned Princess Rui to the palace..."

Chen Jin suddenly asked, "How is that Sixth Prince?"

"Excellent." Madam Zhao said, "The Sixth Prince was taught by the Crown Prince himself." Prince Rui was far inferior to the Sixth Prince, but he was worried that Prince Rui was Chen Jin's biological father, Madam Zhao did not say this.

Chen Jin moved his fingers and felt that Dongdong's hand was soft, "Mother must be very frustrated."

Chu Xiuming didn't say anything, Chen Jin asked again, "Madam Zhao, do you think if the Crown Prince wants to marry her mother to the sixth prince, will they meet in advance?"

Madam Zhao said, "Yes, the prince and the princess are not those kind of rigid people, especially the princess will definitely let the sixth prince and Princess Rui contact first. After all, sometimes even if both parties are good, they can't explain the fate clearly. If they are in a grudge, the princess feels sorry for the sixth prince."

No wonder Prince Rui never cared about how she was flirting with her, because she didn't care.

Moreover, it is natural for Princess Rui to hate Emperor Cheng. According to Mama Zhao, the relationship between the sixth prince and the prince is particularly close, so how could Emperor Cheng leave such a person?

Dongdong's uncomfortable humming attracted Chen Jin's attention. Chen Jin hurriedly went to look at it and found that Dongdong had urinated. Chen Jin was about to take action when he saw Chu Xiuming had taken over and said, "I'll do it."

"Okay." Chen Jin didn't say anything, because he could only see Dongdong once the next day, and Chu Xiuming actually wanted Dongdong too.

After changing the diapers, Dongdong stopped making trouble, Chen Jin stopped thinking about these things, Chu Xiuming stopped talking and asked, "Will Dongdong make trouble at night?"

"It's okay." Chen Jin said with a smile, "Dongdong is very well-behaved."

Chu Xiuming looked at the faint blue color in Chen Jin's eyes, and said nothing. He just responded and touched Dongdong's face, "The Empress Dowager should have made moves these days."

"Yeah." Chen Jin nodded, "Can we leave soon?"

Chu Xiuming nodded and said, "Soon."

Chen Jin laughed when he heard this, kissed Dongdong's little face and said, "Dongdong, we are about to go home."

Chu Xiuming sat next to Shen Jin. Chen Jin reached out and pushed him, and whispered, "I haven't taken a shower for a long time." After that, he glared at Chu Xiuming. She had asked her mother before, but it didn't take so long. Dongdong was very obedient and she had a smooth life.

"I'm sorry, my wife." Chu Xiuming comforted her gentle words.

Chen Jin nodded, and she felt very wronged.

Chu Xiuming held Chen Jin's hand. Chen Jin felt something was being put on his hand. He looked down and saw that his hand was covered tightly by Chu Xiuming. After feeling it for a moment, Chen Jin said, "Bracelet?"

"Yeah." Chu Xiuming put the bracelet on Chen Jin before letting go of his hand. Chen Jin saw that it was a wooden bracelet, which was only round with one finger, and there was no carving on it. There was only the pattern of the wood itself, but it was polished and there was no roughness at all.

Chen Jin raised his hand and looked at it for a long time and said, "I like it!"

Since he became pregnant, Chen Jin rarely wears jewelry. After Dongdong was born, he no longer had any more earrings and jade bracelets. Chu Xiuming originally wanted to carve a hairpin for Chen Jin, but Chen Jin is not available now, so he got a bracelet.

"Beautiful!" Chen Jin shook his hand. The bracelet was originally made by Chu Xiuming on Chen Jin's wrist, and it was very suitable for her to wear it.

Chu Xiuming reached out and pinched Shen Jin's earlobe and said nothing.

Dongdong was gnawing at his little fist. Chu Xiuming took a cloth towel and wiped Dongdong's saliva. Dongdong looked at Chu Xiuming with his eyes open, but he didn't know what he was looking at. Chu Xiuming glanced at Chen Jin, who was still interested in the bracelet, looked at his son and pinched his little fist.

When Chen Jin had been in confinement for 40 days and finally had a bath, Emperor Cheng received the news and looked at Cheng Engong and said, "Are you serious about this?"

"The old minister would never dare to deceive Your Majesty with such a thing." Chengen Duke also said with a pale face, "It's true. If it weren't... just by those anti-people, how could it be the current climate."

The four descendants of the King of Ying made Emperor Cheng confused, and there were even barbarians. Emperor Cheng had no doubts at all. After all, King of Ying had done such a thing at the beginning, and his descendants could make sense to join forces with barbarians. Thinking of what happened back then, Emperor Cheng was not afraid of it.

"You go down first." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice.

Chengen Duke said, "Yes."

Emperor Cheng thought of the missing Prince of England. He chose to eliminate the prince's lineage between the descendants of the King of England and the descendants of the prince. After all, the prince is truly justified, and the Prince of England has been infamous for thousands of years, but now Emperor Cheng regrets it. The Prince of England has no scruples for this throne.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Cheng felt a mess and said, "Go to see the Queen Mother."

Li Fu lowered his head and responded.

In the empress dowager's harem, when he heard the news from the palace servants, the empress dowager was not surprised at all. She just sighed and raised her hand. Madam Zhen bent down and stood up, and then walked out. When Emperor Cheng saw the empress dowager, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mother, Shuzhong..."

"Madam Zhen, take people down, there is no need to serve here." The Empress Dowager interrupted Emperor Cheng and said.

"Yes." After Madam Zhen brought someone to salute the Empress Dowager and Emperor Cheng, she stepped down first.

Li Fu glanced at Emperor Cheng, and when Emperor Cheng waved his hand, he also took his men back and closed the door.

The Empress Dowager then sat down and looked at Emperor Cheng and said, "What happened in Shu?"

Emperor Cheng said, "Mother, the matter in Shu was promoted by the Prince of Ying, and they actually contacted the barbarians again."

The Queen Mother was shocked, as if she had just learned the news, and she frowned and said, "Is this news accurate?"

"It was just found out by Chengen Duke." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice, "I think I can't be wrong."

"Mr. Cheng'en...is not a wonder." The empress dowager sighed, "What's wrong with the second prince?"

Emperor Cheng actually valued the legitimate son of the palace. "I have someone to negotiate, but my life is not hindered."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said, "Where is Ruyang?"

Emperor Cheng shook his head and said, "Ru Yang and his husband went to the border town for a short time. Although the progress is still good, it can be the end..."

The Empress Dowager said, "Emperor, the most important thing now is not to allow the barbarians to break through the border."

Emperor Cheng's face changed and said, "My mother, let Chu Xiuming go back like this?"

The Queen Mother saw Emperor Cheng’s unwillingness and sighed in her heart and said, “I only ask you, which thing is more important now? Or… Which one poses more threats to you, the descendants of the King of England?”

"The descendant of the King of Ying." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice. Moreover, the prince's lineage had been cleansed by Emperor Cheng countless times, so I am afraid that no one was left behind.

The Empress Dowager said, "If the Prince of Ying really colludes with the barbarians, may Ru Yang and the others resist?"

Emperor Cheng stopped talking and understood that if this was the case, Ru Yang and the prince-consort would definitely be as reliable as Chu Xiuming.

The Empress Dowager slowly breathed and said, "Emperor, the Prince of Ying has been preparing for more than 20 years. This matter in Shu is just an opportunity to act. No one of us knows his other trump cards, so we have to be careful. The Chu family... I have always disagree with you in dealing with the Chu family."

"But Chu Xiuming..." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said nothing, "You think about it yourself."

Emperor Cheng felt that the threat from the Prince of England was even greater. If he really joined forces with the barbarian soldiers to come to the city, Emperor Cheng thought of the situation at that time, although he did not think that he was worse than..., but when he thought of the scene at that time, Emperor Cheng still felt that he was still scared.

"Then let Chu Xiuming go back." Emperor Cheng thought for a long time and decided to say, "Pick Shen Jin and the child into the palace and accompany his mother."

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Cheng and said, "Emperor, do you think it is useful?"

Emperor Cheng said, "I think he cares a lot about his wife and children."

The queen mother asked, "Emperor, do you think Yongning will lack a wife and son?"

Emperor Cheng asked, "What does the mother mean..."

The Empress Dowager said, "Emperor, what you have to do now is to win over Yongning Bo, instead of making people feel suspicious. Yongning Bo will never surrender to the Prince of England."

"I understand." Emperor Cheng slowly breathed, "I issued an order to grant Yongning Bo the Marquis of Yongning."

The Queen Mother nodded and said softly, "I only have two sons of you and King Rui in my life. I always want you to be good. All mothers have selfish intentions..."

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my younger brother." Emperor Cheng promised.

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded without saying anything. Emperor Cheng had an idea in his mind and left without saying anything. After Madam Zhen came in, she looked at the Empress Dowager who was twisting Buddhist beads and said, "Empress Dowager, do you want to use something?"

"No need." The empress dowager said with a slightly lowered eyes, but she thought about it again in her heart, trying to find a way to get King Rui's family to leave Beijing. Emperor Cheng is her son, and she knows it best. When nothing happens, Emperor Cheng will naturally take care of King Rui, but if something happens... it is like because of a guess that he married King Rui's daughter to Bo Yongning, and was unwilling to issue a self-destruction, so he blamed King Rui.

When Emperor Cheng's imperial edict that Chu Xiuming was appointed as the Marquis of Yongning was delivered to Chu Xiuming, no matter what everyone in the capital was thinking, they all gave congratulatory gifts. After Chu Xiuming received the edict, his expression did not change at all, but just wrote a thank-you note.

There was also news from the village. Chen Jin was teasing Dongdong with a golden bell and said, "Is there anything else?"

Madam Zhao said, "There's nothing else."

Chen Jin said, "Then we are about to go back to the border town, right?"

Mama Zhao said respectfully, "Yes."

Chen Jin thought for a while and nodded, "Then the nanny packs up her luggage first."

Madam Zhao looked at Chen Jin's expression and said, "Madam doesn't seem to be happy?"

"Because it's useless." Chen Jin said, "Although my husband has been promoted to the title, we have returned to the border town, and this title is of little use."

Chen Jin put the golden bell aside, reached out to pick up his son and kissed him on the face and said, "It's better to give some rewards, but I think the salary will be higher in the future, which is a surprise."

Chu Xiuming was not like those in the capital. His biggest reliance was not on title. Madam Zhao laughed and said, "What the wife said is."

In the Rui Princess, Rui was carrying Chen Xi's luggage. Since the title has been brought down, it's almost time for Chu Xiuming to return to the border town. "Cui Xi, call Xier."

"Yes." Cui Xi responded with congratulations and went to invite Chen Xi over in person.

The border town is not as good as the capital. It sounds a bit bad there. Chen Xi just lives under someone else’s roof. Although Princess Rui knew that neither Chu Xiuming nor Chen Jin would treat her son badly, Princess Rui was reluctant to leave. Chen Xi came over quickly and smiled when she saw Princess Rui, "Mother."

"Come on." Princess Rui looked at her son, her eyes softened a lot. After waving her hand to let Chen Xi come over, she asked, "Let's see if you like it?"

Chen Xi then looked at the thing that the maid was holding on the side, and Princess Rui said, "Switch it to me."

"Okay." Chen Xi responded.

Princess Rui prepared a set of horse riding suits for Chen Xi, which was suitable for wearing now. After Chen Xi changed it out, she smiled and said, "Mother, I like it very much."

"Yeah." Princess Rui helped her son sort out with her own hands and said, "Just fit."
