Tang Shishi was stunned, his eyes widened suddenly. What did Zhao Chengjun say?
The others present were also stunned. Madam Xi asked when he was going to marry. She was just trying her luck. She didn't expect to get the answer at all. Who knows, Zhao Chengjun actually responded, and she said quickly.
Does he already have a candidate?
A smile of joy suddenly appeared on Xi Yunchu's face. Lu Yufei looked at Zhao Chengjun and Xi Yunchu, lowering her eyes clearly.
Like most of the women present, Zhao Zixun was shocked. He spent the longest time in Prince Jing's Mansion and knew Zhao Chengjun best. He knew that the women were just having wishful thinking and felt that no matter what they said, Zhao Chengjun will never marry a princess, but Zhao Zixun knew that Zhao Chengjun's heart was like a rock and could not be turned.
He said he didn't want it, that was really no room for negotiation. Otherwise, it will not be possible to adopt other people's children early.
Over the years, Zhao Zixun has seen very clearly that Zhao Chengjun was not in love with the idea of children. He has higher ambitions and farther goals. Therefore, while normal men rush to marry wives and have children, it was unattractive to Zhao Chengjun. Zhao Zixun always thought that Zhao Chengjun would not marry a wife, at least until Zhao Chengjun's ambitions were realized, he would not allow any affairs to distract his time and energy.
Zhao Zixun doesn't think that a person will change his thoughts and plans in a short period of time. The past two decades have not been able to shake Zhao Chengjun. Why did Zhao Chengjun's view in just one year? Who in the world has this ability?
Zhao Zixun still thinks it is impossible. Could it be that Zhao Chengjun likes the Xi's family? But with Zhao Chengjun's identity, if he didn't intend to, why should he care about others?
Zhao Zixun couldn't understand. All the people in the room were not relieved by the thunderstorm. Zhao Chengjun had no meaning to explain. He nodded slightly to Madam Xi and said, "Madam Xi stay, I will leave. Madam Xi is relieved to recover from illness."
After he finished speaking, the others left. Tang Shishi recovered, hurriedly saluted Zhao Zixun and Lu Yufei, and hurriedly chased them out.
Zhao Chengjun left, and Zhao Zixun, as a man couldn't continue to stay. He sat down for a while and then took the chance to leave.
After the men were gone, there were only a few female family members left in the house. Lu Yufei was finally able to let go of speaking privately. She looked at Xi Yunchu and deliberately teased: "Madam Xi is very lucky. Both daughters are born with wealth and fate. Sister, you can take care of me more in the future."
Xi Yunchu has been in a daze since just now. When she heard Lu Yufei's words, she recovered, her cheeks flushed all of a sudden: "The Shizi Consort is unreasonable. You are the Shizi Consort, and you are the only one mistress of Prince Jing Mansion. Who else can take care of you in Xiping Mansion?"
Lu Yufei smiled and said: "If it is an ordinary lady, I naturally don't have to ask, but if it is my elder, shouldn't I be careful to please her?."
Lu Yufei is the legitimate wife of the Prince Jing's eldest son, and there is no need to pay others with much respect. The only ones she called her elders were the Empress Dowager Yao who was far away in Jinling and Prince Jing. The Empress Dowager Yao is nominally Lu Yufei's grandmother, but in fact she has no interference with Lu Yufei.
Lu Yufei obviously meant that Xi Yunchu would be the Princess Consort of Prince Jing.
The maid in the room laughed when she heard it, Madam Xi shook her kerchief, but she didn't laugh. Xi Yunchu blushed in the joking eyes of the crowd, turned her back in embarrassment, and said in anger: "The Shizi Consort is so unreasonable and made fun of me again. You please your elders and tell me what to do."
Lu Yufei knew that Xi Yunchu had a small temperament, and she was as mean as a knife to others. If others dared to speak of her, she would be annoyed when she turned her face. Lu Yufei didn't dare to do separate jokes, she just accepted it, and said: "I'm just planning ahead and planning for the future. My father has always been tired of others urging for marriage. He has repeatedly said that he has no intention of marrying a wife. He was doing well before. The next time I came to the villa, my mouth suddenly loosened. My father came and saw a few people, and it suddenly changed his attention."
The maids laughed even more. That's amazing. The wife of the stewardess who was pretty close by Mrs. Xi joked: "Our second lady has grown up, with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance. Who doesn't like it? Not to mention a man, but an old slave. Miss holds it in her palm."
Xi Yunchu was ridiculed and embarrassed, she stood up and stomped her feet, and said, "You are spouting nonsense, I will go crazy with you."
After Xi Yunchu finished speaking, she shook off her veil, and ran away, covering her face. She opened the curtain and ran out, and the people behind them fell into a ball of laughter. Madam Xi shouted: "Get dressed, don't leave the cold!"
Xi Yunchu dropped the curtain and left, not knowing if he heard it. Madam Xi sighed again and again, and said, "Cai go and follow her, don't let her freeze."
The maid Cai hurried out with Xi Yunchu's cloak in her arms. Madam Xi sighed and said: "I don't know what she owed in her previous life. In this life, she came to collect debts from me. When I think about it, she is very self-willed, and it is really troublesome."
Lu Yufei smiled and said: "Madam, Don't be too troublesome. I know how many people envy you. You have these beautiful pair of daughters. It's a blessing. The eldest lady is dignified and beautiful. She was supposed to be the Princess Consort, but her body is weak and she unfortunately died. But now it seems that the second young lady is better than the eldest young lady.. Not only is her appearance and demeanor better, she is also tougher than the eldest. Maybe she is more lucky than her sister."
When Lu Yufei mentioned Xi Yunwan, Madame Xi sighed slightly, and said, "Chu'er has been her younger sister since she was a child. After Wan'er was established as the princess, she was determined to learn from her sister. It's a pity that Wan'er died too early. I regret every time I think about it."
Lu Yufei said in her heart that if Xi Yunwan didn't die, what would happen to Xi Yunchu now? However, in the eyes of a mother, her daughters will always be good, so Lu Yufei didn't say much, just smiled and said: "Miss, if you know well, you will definitely be pleased that the second lady is married. Madam, just relax and wait. After the second lady is married, you will enjoy endless blessings."
Madam Xi just complained, but she was actually quite proud. Both of her daughters were looked at by Prince Jing. She was originally sick because of the wind and cold, and her body was heavy. Now that she learned of the good news, Madame Xi's depression was wiped out, and her body was much better.
When Lu Yufei saw the triumphant expressions of Madame Xi and her servant, her heart was a little sour and unhappy. She held Xi Yunchu out of courtesy, but she was making it look like as if the Xi family really suffered, and that Prince Jing were the ones who begged them. It's ridiculous, what kind of family is the Xi family? If it weren't for the fact that Prince Jing was once betrothed to the Xi family's eldest young lady, who would care about the Xi family is now?
But who made Prince Jing fall in love with their second lady again? No matter how unhappy Lu Yufei is, she can only recognize it sadly. The mother-in-law is a parent-like existence to the daughter-in-law. Whether in etiquette or in practice, she firmly controls the life and death of the daughter-in-law. Xi Yunchu is most likely her future mother-in-law, and Lu Yufei dare not offend her.
Even with the Xi family, Lu Yufei also greeted them with a smile. Lu Yufei smiled on her face, but sighed quietly in her heart. Xi Yunchu did not have a sensible temperament. But at any rate, the Prince Jing Mansion is about to welcome a princess, so as long as Lu Yufei pleases her aunt and let Princess Jing stand in front of everything, then Mrs. Xu and the Xu family will be nothing.
Lu Yufei thought a little bit, but in general, this is still a good thing.
After Tang Shishi followed Zhao Chengjun out, she hesitated for a long time, before asking in a low voice: "Master, are you really planning to marry the princess?"
"Yeah." Zhao Chengjun replied. He glanced back at Tang Shishi, his feeling unknown, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not willing?"
"No, how dare this little girl?" Tang Shishi was taken aback and quickly declined. Just kidding, how could she dare accept this marriage, and if she did, wait until Xi Yunchu enters the door, won't she just skin her alive?
With Zhao Chengjun's temperment, this sentence is really not a joke. Seeing that she was busy denying it, Zhao Chengjun seemed to be afraid of being misunderstood, and the mood that was ok was gloomy again.
Zhao Chengjun calmly said in a casual tone: "If you have any comments, you can put them forward. If you have anything to say, it is better to say it in advance."
However, if Prince Jing spoke, she didn't answer it. Tang Shishi thought for a moment, and carefully found a point of view that would not really offend others while giving advice: "If Wangye marries a princess, this is a happy event for the whole country. But the princess is Wangye's future wife, she must be knowledgeable, intelligent and generous, and will not be jealous like ordinary women, regardless of right or wrong. And it's important that Wangye truly likes her."
Tang Shishi said these words to Zhao Chengjun. With the idea of giving advice, she already had a feeling that after Xi Yunchu enters the mansion, with her pretentious personality and hot temper, the mansion will be uneasy. Tang Shishi made sure to remind Zhao Chengjun first, and if she was really unfortunate enough to be told by her, she can still intercede with Zhao Chengjun anyway.
Zhao Chengjun laughed as he listened. He glanced at Tang Shishi with a smile and said, "Then you will be disappointed. She is not smart or generous and especially likes to make her own way and likes to be rebellious all the time . She has none of the virtues you mentioned, but there is only one sentence that is not wrong, she is indeed the person I like."
Tang Shishi couldn't even keep smiling. Oh my god, it's terrible, the princess hasn't even entered the door yet, Zhao Chengjun's is already like this. If Zhao Chengjun is waiting marriage, then there will always a beautiful girl coaxing him by his side, wouldn't he be more eccentric?
Tang Shishi feels that her future is in darkness, and she has to find a way to speed up her pace. If she wants to continues to serve Zhao Chengjun and wants to prevent Xi Yunchu from becoming a princess, she has to be the first one to make a move.
However, Zhao Chengjun's thought of Xi Yunchu was very clear, neither smart nor generous, and has no virtues at all. Tang Shishi couldn't help but vomit, what is going on with these men, as long as the woman is young and beautiful, they ignore their disadvantages no matter what's wrong? When will they become more mature, see the essence through their appearance, and discover a beauty with a mind like Tang Shishi?
Tang Shishi rolled her eyes inside, but smiled again on the surface: ".. Wangye is too serious i was asking the Princess for too much, I did not think she was not smart and generous, in fact, the future Princess seems to be a terrific person."
After Tang Shishi finished the sentence, she found that Zhao Chengjun began to laugh again. He clenched a fist to cover his lips, his eyes were shining like stars.
Tang Shishi was upset by the laughter. She looked at Zhao Chengjun, her voice annoyed: "Wangye, I am just praising the future Princess, what are you laughing at?"
He glanced at Tang Shishi with a smile, then retracted his gaze and smiled without saying a word. Zhao Chengjun's eyes were black and shiny. The glimpse just now looked like clouds and flowing water, radiant, with a look of hope and brilliance.
This is the first time Tang Shishi has seen the beauty of expression in a man. She has seen many handsome men, such as Qi Jingsheng and Zhao Zixun. But none of them compare with Zhao Chengjun.
Even Tang Shishi once thought that Zhao Chengjun was blinded by his beauty. Look at his bad temper, the temperament of holding grudges, and his means of playing with others with a smile on the surface. Was this really the reason why he doesn't have a wife?
Tang Shishi was stunned. Zhao Chengjun knocked her on the head and said, "Don't be stunned, so many people are watching, you should stop it."
Tang Shishi was pulled back to her senses by the pain on her forehead. After she reacted, she was furious: "Who said I looked at you? Only people look at me, not the other way around? Bah, you are already a big man, so narcissistic."
The smile on Zhao Chengjun's face did not change, but his eyes were obviously sinking. He smiled and said slowly: "Okay, I misunderstood you. I was worried about your place to stay at night, but now it seems that you can definitely solve it by yourself."
Tang Shishi was stunned: "What?"
Zhao Chengjun is here, and he was the one who arranges accommodation, didn't he care about her?
Zhao Chengjun said: "Men and women can't be together.. It's not very good for you to be close to me. It just so happens that you and beauty Zhou have a deep relationship. Tonight, you will spend the night with her."
