Jun Lingyun stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that General Chu should take a seat. General Chu had no choice but to sit down half-ass obediently.
Jun Lingyun picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea himself, and handed it to General Chu with both hands.
"Father-in-law, please give your new son-in-law a cup of tea. From now on, in front of Xi'er, please don't make it difficult for your new son-in-law."
General Chu swallowed, took the tea cup with both hands, looked at Jun Lingyun who looked serious, and then drank all the tea.
"Your Highness, son-in-law, please, please sit down."
Only then did Jun Lingyun sit back satisfied.
In the inner courtyard, Chu Yunxi naturally didn't know that Jun Lingyun was gently threatening General Chu to treat him as his son-in-law.
Because Mrs. Chu and Princess Guo were greeting her.
"Xi'er, how did His Highness treat you? Did the wedding go smoothly?"
"Mother!"
Chu Yunxi was almost ashamed. Even though her sister-in-law was not an outsider, how could she ask about the bridal chamber so openly?
Princess Guo snickered.
"Yunxi, don't be shy. My sister-in-law is here too. Mother is just afraid that you will be wronged, so she asks this question."
"Your Highness, he is very, very powerful."
Chu Yunxi didn't know why, but a word flashed in his head and he just blurted it out.
Seeing her mother and sister-in-law looking at her with wide eyes, she blushed and blinked, realizing that her choice of words was not appropriate, and immediately changed her words.
“Very gentle and considerate.”
Madam Chu and Princess Guo exhaled, Xi'er really dared to say anything.
Madam Chu looked at Xiao Lian and Si Qi who were standing by. They both smiled and nodded. Only then did Madam Chu completely believe her, and lowered her voice and asked:
"Then the emperor and the ladies in the harem, have they given you any trouble?"
Chu Yunxi also whispered:
"Mother, your daughter is not a soft persimmon. The prince is not a decoration."
Mrs. Chu poked Chu Yunxi in the head with her finger.
"You're already a princess, why are you so ignorant of what you say?"
Although she said accusatory words, her eyes were full of care, and Chu Yunxi smiled heartlessly.
"Why haven't I seen Princess Shengya today? She doesn't like to join in the fun."
"You have to ask third brother about this."
Princess Guo couldn't help laughing when she thought of Princess Shengya's room full of gadgets.
Chu Yunxi looked at Princess Guo vaguely.
"Ask third brother? What does this have to do with third brother?"
"Your third brother just moved his business to Princess Shengya's house."
Seeing the teasing look in Princess Guo's eyes, Chu Yunxi felt something was wrong. Third brother, could it be that he has his thoughts on Princess Shengya?
Princess Shengya should leave Beijing soon and return to Nanyan Country. If the third brother is interested in Princess Guo, what should he do? Wouldn't it be unrequited love?
Why don't your parents care?
No, no, she had to find out what these two people meant. Chu Yunxi stood up and walked out in a hurry.
"Hey, Xi'er, where are you going?"
"Mother, I'm going to find third brother."
Before Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he had disappeared.
Xiaolian and Si Qi hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Chu and Princess Guo, and then went after Chu Yunxi.
In the front hall, General Chu and the three young masters were chatting with Jun Lingyun about state affairs, when Chu Yunxi appeared at the door.
"Third brother, please come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
Everyone in the room was stunned. Chu Wenjin looked at Jun Lingyun's cold eyes and forced out a smile.
"Your Highness, I am a humble minister, come as soon as you go."
When Jun Lingyun narrowed his eyes and paid attention, Chu Wenjin felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but shiver.
My dear sister, why should I tell him alone? Doesn’t she know that she has a jealous husband?
When Chu Yunxi saw Chu Wenjin struggling to come out, she grabbed his arm and dragged him to a deserted place.
Poor Mr. Chu, Chu Wenzhong and Chu Wenhong who were left in the room looked at each other. It should be autumn soon, right? It's time to add some clothes.
Chu Wenjin's eyes flickered as he was pulled away by Chu Yunxi.
"Sister, what did you ask me just now?"
"Let me ask you, are you interested in Princess Shengya?"
Chu Wenjin couldn't help but stutter when he looked at his sister's bright and inquiring eyes.
"Yes, what does it mean?"
Chu Yunxi simply put it more bluntly.
"Third brother, do you like Princess Shengya?"
Chu Wenjin laughed twice.
"Hehe, hehe, sister, what are you thinking about in your head all day long? How could I like that little girl?"
Little girl? If her memory is correct, the third brother is only two years older than Princess Shengya, right?
"Then why did you send so many things to Princess Shengya?"
"That's not it. Isn't it just for you?"
Chu Wenjin came to his senses in a hurry, and Chu Yunxi was even more confused. Why did he get involved with her again?
"Of course, you don't know that the Third Prince has been trying to get close to Princess Shengya these days, right? Is it possible that he did this because he likes Princess Shengya? Of course it is to strengthen his own power.
I will contend with His Highness the Crown Prince and my sister."
The more Chu Wenjin spoke, the smoother he became, to the point where he even began to believe it.
"How can I let my sister's enemies succeed? What's more, Princess Shengya has become a sister to you, so she is also my sister, Chu Wenjin. I should protect her, shouldn't I?"
Chu Yunxi felt that what the third brother said was quite reasonable, but why did she always feel that the third brother was so lacking in confidence when he said this?
"Third brother, are you serious about what you said? When Princess Shengya returns to Nanyan, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Chu Wenjin forced himself to calm down and nodded.
"That's natural, sister. If third brother doesn't come back, your husband will eat him alive. I, I'll leave first."
Chu Wenjin left Chu Yunxi as if fleeing, and took a few deep breaths to slow down his heartbeat.
It's so terrible. My sister is so terrible. She can't compete with her husband.
However, when he thought that he might never see Princess Shengya again, he felt inexplicably disappointed.
Chu Yunxi looked at Chu Wenjin's walking back and shook her head. Could it be that she was overthinking it?
"Miss, please forgive me for talking too much. If the third young master really takes the initiative towards Shengya County, it may not be a good thing. How can the emperor allow the princess of a foreign country to marry the son of a minister?"
Si Qi couldn't help but stepped forward to remind her that although Princess Shengya was nice, her status meant that she was really not a good match for the Chu family's young master.
She was afraid that Chu Yunxi would make a mistake and order the wrong book, which would lead to trouble.
Chu Yunxi looked at Si Qi and knew that she had good intentions.
"If two people are in love, there will always be a way. However, you are right. If they have no idea at all, there is no need to add to the trouble."
In Princess Shengya's house, Qing Juan bit her lip in anxiety. She tried to remind the princess several times, but she was stopped by the princess.
"Princess Princess?"
"Shh, don't make a sound. I will definitely unlock this lock today so that Brother Wenjin won't look down upon it."
"Princess, today..."
"If you disturb me again, I will punish you not to speak for a month."
Qingjuan covered her mouth and looked at the sky outside. Oh, forget it, wait until the princess remembers and go into the palace to see the princess.
