Chapter 418 Concubine Chen pays respects
The couple talked for a while, and Shen Suian had just asked someone to bring breakfast when the maid outside the door came back to report that Concubine Chen had come to pay her respects.
"Tell her not to come and pay her respects every day. Just stay in the house and don't come out." Fu Jinyuan said with a cold face.
"As for Huang Bizhu, it's fine. But this concubine Chen has already entered the palace, so you still have to meet her, otherwise the emperor will think that you don't like her and reward you with two new concubines." Shen Suian said lightly.
The emperor in the palace, his thoughts cannot be viewed from the perspective of a normal person.
What if he's given another marriage?
You can't disobey the order.
Aren't the Emperor and He Zhiyuan very clear about this, which is why they issued the decree before Empress Ruan could stop them?
Fu Jinyuan's eyes darkened, "The Chen family must be related to what happened back then. Find two people to keep an eye on Chen Qiong'er. He Zhiyuan arranged for her to enter the palace, not just to be a vase."
Shen Sui'an frowned, "Okay."
"You should also be careful not to fall into their trap."
Fu Jinyuan squeezed her fingers and said, "I know."
"Please ask Concubine Chen to go to the side hall first." Shen Sui'an said to Banjian.
"Sui Sui, I'm sorry for having wronged you." Fu Jinyuan said in a low voice.
"They can't give me any grievances. If you don't make me sad or wronged, what other people do won't matter." Shen Sui'an raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Fu Jinyuan curled his lips slightly, "I won't."
Shen Sui'an handed him a bun and said, "Eat it quickly."
Chen Qiong'er, who was invited to the side hall, was wearing a Xiangfei-colored silk dress with a Ruyi cloud pattern, which made her look as fresh and tender as a flower blooming in spring. She stood aside obediently and well-behaved, waiting quietly.
It should be time for breakfast, and she chose this time to come because she thought the princess would ask her to serve the dishes.
Whether it's beating or suppression, she is ready to accept it.
In the end, he just casually asked her to wait in the side hall.
She was increasingly unable to understand Princess Chen.
After two quarters of an hour, a figure moved. She raised her head slightly and a ray of dark blue clothing embroidered with dark patterns passed through her sight.
It’s King Chen!
Chen Qiong'er raised her head and took a quick look, her heart skipping a beat.
The prince was wearing a dark blue silk robe with dark fanciful patterns. He was more handsome and taller than she had imagined. Unlike the crown prince and the second prince, the prince was like a blade hidden in the hilt of a sword, sharp but not strong, but making people unable to take their eyes off him.
In the entire royal capital, there are few men who can be as graceful as Prince Chen.
She felt a little lucky that she could be married to Prince Chen, but when she saw him holding Shen Sui'an's hand, her heart was slightly stabbed.''
The prince and the princess have a deep relationship, and it is not easy for her to win the prince's heart.
She has confidence in herself and will make the best of it.
"I pay my respects to the prince, and I wish the princess good health and longevity." Chen Qiong'er stepped forward and saluted gracefully.
Shen Sui'an glanced at Fu Jinyuan, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he could only smile and say, "Please stand up, Concubine Chen. Our palace is simple, and there are not so many rules on weekdays. You don't have to come to pay your respects every morning."
"The prince and princess are kind and compassionate, but serving them is my duty." Concubine Chen said softly.
"Then kowtow at the door. There is no need to come in, so as not to disturb the princess's sleep." Fu Jinyuan's face was cold.
Chen Qiong'er was slightly stunned and looked up at Fu Jinyuan.
Fu Jinyuan's eyebrows were cold and sharp, and he withdrew his gaze from her as if he was looking at an enemy.
"I'll go to the Pacification Office first." He turned sideways and said to Shen Sui'an.
The tone was very gentle.
Shen Sui'an smiled at him and said, "Okay."
Fu Jinyuan kissed her cheek, stood up and walked out of the side hall.
The maids around were obviously used to it and did not think there was anything wrong with the prince's behavior.
Chen Qiong'er's heart sank.
The relationship between Prince Chen and the Princess is deeper than she imagined.
"Concubine Chen, please sit down." Shen Sui'an said.
Since Concubine Chen came into the mansion with a purpose, she had to understand what exactly she wanted to do.
"Thank you, Princess." Concubine Chen knelt down obediently.
"The prince is usually serious and looks solemn and cold, but he has a stable temper. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, he usually won't get angry easily." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.
Chen Qiong'er's eyes showed envy, "I have long heard that the prince and princess are deeply in love. Today I see that it is indeed true. I am really envious of others."
Shen Sui'an listened to her sincerity, her pair of phoenix eyes were innocent and charming, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "The prince and I have just experienced a lot, and there is more tacit understanding between us."
"Many couples may not have a tacit understanding after being married for decades, which shows how rare the relationship between the prince and the princess is," said Chen Qiong'er.
With just a few words, Shen Suian already felt the difference between Chen Qiong'er and Huang Biju.
This is a smart girl.
No wonder the emperor chose her to be Fu Jinyuan's concubine.
"Concubine Chen, there is no rule of morning and evening visits in the mansion. Even in the capital city, we did not have it before. You don't have to come and pay your respects every day. I don't get up early and always sleep until the sun is high in the sky. Asking you not to come and pay your respects is not just a polite remark."
If she came so early every day, it would definitely affect her sleep quality.
Shen Sui'an doesn't need Chen Qiong'er to follow this rule.
Chen Qiong'er was stunned again. Did the prince spoil the princess so much? Could she sleep as long as she wanted?
This is completely different from the rules her mother taught her.
My mother said that after getting married, one should get up first when the husband wakes up every day, prepare all the toiletries and clothes, serve breakfast to the parents-in-law, etc. These are the rules of being a daughter-in-law.
If she is not the mistress, then she is a concubine, and she still has to serve the princess.
"Princess, it's time to take Chao Ge'er to the garden." Ban Jian came in and reminded in a low voice.
Shen Sui'an said, "Concubine Chen, go back and rest. I see you are still tired. I think you got up too early today."
Chen Qiong'er's imagination was overturned today, and now she needs to go back and calm down and think carefully about what to do next.
Fu Jinyuan, who had just arrived at the Zhenfu Division, was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor.
There is no need for early morning court today. Emperor Fu usually doesn't like to see Fu Jinyuan, so why did he suddenly summon him today?
Emperor Fu dismissed everyone and only left Fu Jinyuan in the imperial study.
"I ask you, are you re-investigating the cause of Dou Kun's death?" Emperor Fu stared at Fu Jinyuan with a cold gaze.
Even the Emperor has inquired about this matter.
Fu Jinyuan sneered in his heart, his expression was indifferent, "Your Majesty, it's not a re-investigation, it's Dou Kun's widow who believes her husband was murdered and asked the Zhenfu Division to conduct a thorough investigation. The Zhenfu Division is looking for the real murderer, not the case of that year."
This was clearly meant to fool him.
"I want you to stop all investigations and not to continue!" Emperor Fu said sternly.
The palace servants outside the door heard the emperor's roar and hurriedly took a few steps outside.
Don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to.
