Mrs. Wu An actually looked down upon Mrs. Qiao, the wife of a businessman, and subconsciously wanted to show off. But when she thought of her son winning the top prize, her sense of superiority immediately ran away.

Besides, she came here with the intention of getting married, so she couldn't offend Mrs. Qiao, so she greeted Mrs. Qiao very politely.

Lu Xiang, who was standing at the door and continuing to greet the guests, was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped when he saw the visitor.

Chen Rujin?

Why did the third prince’s concubine also come to Qiao’s house?

Although they haven't gotten married yet, the emperor has granted marriage, the betrothal gift has been given, and the auspicious date has been determined. The only step left is to pass the wedding. Everyone has not changed their title of Chen Rujin, but they already treat her as the third prince's concubine.

Since the wedding date was set, Chen Rujin stayed at home and stayed at home without going to anyone's banquet.

Even if she had put aside her noble status as the prince's concubine, the dignified daughter of the Chen family was still the object of friendship among the ladies from all the high-profile families.

Not to mention the sister-in-law, she only had one conversation with her in the Third Prince's Mansion and saw her being ridiculed by the Third Prince's Concubine.

"Miss Chen." Lu Xiang was surprised and hurriedly greeted her, then nodded to the man following her.

"Miss Lu." Chen Rujin shouted with a bright smile: "This is my eldest brother, he will soon become colleagues with Qiao Zhuangyuan. I heard that there is a banquet in Qiao's house today, and I want to come and make friends with Qiao Zhuangyuan, so we came uninvited.

"

The girl's skin is as white as jade, her lips are as red as lotus, her hibiscus face is lightly brushed with Emei, and a golden walking stick is inserted diagonally between her ink-like hair. She wears a long purple dress embroidered with peony flowers and a moon-white belt tied around her waist. She looks like a fairy coming out of the world.

, elegant and refined.

Qiao Jingru happened to hear Chen Rujin's words when she arrived.

Colleagues after the second brother?

This girl's beauty is as beautiful as a flower, and she is almost as good as her Xiangxiang girl. I don't know which girl she is from.

But she had never seen Chen Rujin, so she looked at Lu Xiang with doubtful eyes.

Lu Xiang introduced to Qiao Jingru: "This is the future concubine of the third prince and the fourth lady of the Chen family. Next to her is the eldest son Chen, the minister of the Hanlin Academy."

Qiao Jingru was shocked when she heard this. She quickly and respectfully saluted Chen Rujin: "Miss Chen, Jin An, Mr. Chen is good."

"You and I are friends of the same generation, don't be so polite, but my brother and I took the liberty to come here and disturb you." Chen Rujin held Qiao Jingru's hand and said.

"It's an honor for the Qiao family that Miss Chen can come. Please come in quickly." Qiao Jingru smiled and welcomed the Chen brothers and sisters in.

Suddenly, an anxious voice came from behind.

"Wait a minute, wait for me."

Several people turned around.

Chen Rujin saw the person coming and raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "Second brother, why are you here?"

Chen Shuyang looked at Chen Shuan with a cold face and said displeasedly: "You skipped class again?"

Chen Shu'an was running out of breath. Hearing such a soulful question from his eldest brother, he couldn't help but trembled: "Brother, don't say so harshly. I'm asking for leave normally, and the master agreed."

"If it's not the New Year or the festival, why do you need to take leave to come back?" Chen Shuyang said.

"Dad told us a few days ago that we would come to Qiao's Mansion today to celebrate Qiao Yuan'an's high school championship. From now on, as officials in the same dynasty, we will have to have more contact with him. Father asked you to make good friends with him. Of course I have to take a leave of absence."

Chen Shuyang looked at his brother who was speaking righteously and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

"Dad just asked me to come."

He didn't ask me to take you with me.

There was also a fourth sister, who obviously didn't need to come, so when she saw him leaving the house, she pestered him to come with him.

Song Shu'an gave his eldest brother a serious look and said, "I should make friends with a talented person like Qiao Zhuangyuan. Maybe if I interact with him more, I can be among the top three in three years. Dad knows

I definitely agree with both hands."

Chen Shuyang: "..."

If you are wrong, you win.

His father had no other hobbies except reading. The better he read, the rarer he became.

If the third prince hadn't made the first move, Qiao Yuanan would have been forcibly roped in by his father to become his son-in-law.

Chen Shuyang thought about it, and involuntarily glanced at the sister next to him, and silently changed his sentence in his heart: Wrong, it was his sister who did it first.

"The visitor is a guest. The Qiao family doesn't welcome him very much. My second brother is writing poems and articles with others in the garden. Please invite me." Qiao Jingru said with a smile.

The second brother later served in the Hanlin Academy. Although work in the Hanlin Academy was boring and tedious, the people who left the Hanlin Academy were all important officials in the court. If the second brother could make good friends with the Chen family, he would be able to gain more in Chen Hanlin's eyes.

The opportunity for the emperor to see his ability.

As Chen Shuyang walked inside, he did not forget to tell Chen Shuan to watch more, listen more and talk less, and not to cause trouble.

People are already here, so it’s hard to drive them back.

"Xiang Xiang, please take more care of Miss Chen's fourth daughter." Qiao Jing pulled Lu Xiang in together and whispered.

The future concubine of the third prince, if she does not treat her well and makes people unhappy, that will be the end of it.

Lu Xiang was about to say that she was not familiar with Chen Rujin, but Chen Rujin, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and smiled at her: "Miss Lu, can I call you Xiang Xiang?"

As soon as Lu Xiang's words reached her mouth, she turned around and swallowed them again.

Chen Rujin acted so familiar that others wouldn't believe her even if she said she wasn't familiar with her.

"good."

Chu Jinyan said that the third prince was now in the same camp as him, and she should have more contact with the third prince's concubine.

"Last time when I said goodbye to the Third Prince's Mansion, I said I would meet with you another day, but I never found the opportunity. You won't blame me for breaking my promise, right?"

Lu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "How could it be possible? Miss Chen must be too busy to be alone since she has decided to marry His Highness the Third Prince."

The fact is that she only thought that Chen Rujin was just a polite word and didn't take it to heart at all.

When Chen Rujin heard this, her pretty little face immediately wrinkled up like a bitter gourd, and she poured out the bitter water in a completely unfamiliar manner: "Don't tell me, even if the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are cooperating, I am really busy and dizzy. I heard that we are getting married.

There was even more red tape that day, it was scary.”

Lu Xiang was startled, and then Wan'er smiled and said: "This is the grace of the Holy One. After working hard for this period of time, Miss Chen is recognized by the royal family as a concubine, with a distinguished status."

I thought to myself that I have only met you once and you are pouring out your bitterness on me, which is not easy for me to accept.

In the garden, Mrs. Wu'anhou was originally being admired by the stars. When she heard about Chen Rujin's identity, everyone looked at her as if they were glowing with green light. Many ladies and ladies surrounded her.

Chen Rujin suddenly put away her playful expression, and there was an infinite coldness on her beautiful face, as if she should keep strangers away from her: "Today is Qiao Zhuangyuan's happy day, everyone doesn't need to talk around me."

After hearing this, everyone left in disbelief.

Although Chen Rujin was unpopular, they did not dare to be presumptuous as she was about to become the third prince's concubine.
