Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Soon, Jiang Chen's chicken noodle soup was served.

Feiyan looked at the Fifth Princess on the left and Jiang Chen on the right. The newlyweds seemed to have a tacit understanding and they lowered their heads and concentrated on eating the food in front of them.

The fifth princess started eating early and put away her chopsticks without moving, just waiting for Jiang Chen to finish eating.

Jiang Chen was neither anxious nor slow. He ate a bowl of noodles and took a sip of tea at just the right temperature.

Feiyan put away the dishes neatly and quietly closed the door, leaving the Fifth Princess and Jiang Chen alone.

The Fifth Princess felt that her meal was boring because it was interrupted. Jiang Chen was a tolerant man and she could not anger him.

Seeing that the Fifth Princess didn't speak, Jiang Chen had to speak first, "Come to think of it, Princess, do you remember that I once met the Princess?"

The Fifth Princess responded with a fake smile: "Who can forget the elegance of Jiang Liuyuan riding a horse through the streets?"

At that time, I only thought it was a fleeting glimpse, but now I think it is just a bad fate. If she could choose, the fifth princess would not leave the palace with the fourth princess.

Jiang Chen also sighed inwardly. When he lifted the red veil just now, Jiang Chen remembered the Fifth Princess.

Jiang Chen was a man with a photographic memory. On the day he became the top scholar, he looked up and saw a pair of interesting sisters. Although he did not remember them deliberately, as soon as he saw the face of the fifth princess, Jiang Chen recognized the naughty younger sister that day, and thought that the older sister was the fourth princess.

What kind of fate is this?

If he had never met, Jiang Chen could have tried his best to ignore the age difference between the Fifth Princess and him, but his memory was too good. Looking at the Fifth Princess now, he remembered the little girl he saw when he looked up that year. She had big round eyes and looked at Jiang Chen curiously, as if saying, is this the Jiang Chen who won six prizes in a row?

People have different feelings towards people they know and people they don't know. This made Jiang Chen feel guilty. He reached out and poured himself a glass of wine, hoping to calm his turbulent emotions.

The Fifth Princess watched Jiang Chen's actions and saw the barely perceptible pain on his face. She asked perceptively, "Are you feeling guilty?"

Jiang Chen's voice was hoarse, "Shouldn't I feel guilty?"

The fifth princess angrily poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. She coughed several times because of the spicy wine. "You didn't do anything wrong!"

Jiang Chen's guilt made the Fifth Princess feel very meaningless. If Jiang Chen was an obvious bad guy, the Fifth Princess could vent her anger at will, but Jiang Chen was not like that. His silence and tolerance made the Fifth Princess feel that she was being unreasonable.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I claim to be an honest person, but how is what I do different from the officials in the court?"

Even though Jiang Chen was doing this for the good of more people, even though Jiang Chen had lofty ideals, he still acquiesced to the deal with the Fourth Prince, allowing the Fifth Princess to be sold like a commodity.

The Fifth Princess had never drunk much alcohol, and after a glass of wine, she felt dizzy. She comforted Jiang Chen in a trance, "If you are not here, there will be others, and others are not as good as you. Su Mama is right, it is rare to be confused in life, it is rare to be confused!"

Seeing the Fifth Princess swaying, Jiang Chen said helplessly, "The Princess is drunk."

The Fifth Princess shed a bitter tear. In her eyes, there were two Jiang Chens. She randomly chose one Jiang Chen and said to him, "It's better to get drunk. When you're drunk, you don't have to worry. Wine is really a good thing."

Jiang Chen watched the Fifth Princess talking to the empty space. He knew that the Fifth Princess was extremely drunk, so he could only help her onto the bed.

Lying on the bed, the Fifth Princess's expression flashed with clarity, and she closed her eyes waiting for Jiang Chen to come over her.

But Jiang Chen just covered the fifth princess with a blanket and turned to leave.

When Jiang Chen turned around, the Fifth Princess asked, "Aren't you coming over?"

Jiang Chen turned his back to the Fifth Princess and said, "This is just a deal, why should we further wrong the Princess?"

The fifth princess said calmly, "If this is the case, it cannot be hidden from the palace. Go to the dressing table, the bottom drawer on the left, and take out the things inside."

Jiang Chen followed the Fifth Princess's instructions and took out a thumb-sized object from the drawer. It was elastic and contained something like water.

The fifth princess warned, "Be careful with your strength, this thing can break easily."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen carefully handed the thing to the Fifth Princess. The Fifth Princess placed the thing on the veil and pressed it lightly through the quilt. The thing exploded into pieces and the liquid inside burst out.

When the fifth princess lifted the quilt again, she saw a streak of bright red on the veil.

Jiang Chen looked at the Fifth Princess in surprise, and the Fifth Princess looked back coldly. This was what she wanted to do in the beginning, to get Jiang Chen drunk and fake a wedding night. Anyway, she had her own Princess Mansion, and after this night, who could force her to sleep in the same bed with her husband?

The fifth princess asked sharply, "Do you mind?"

Jiang Chen replied with relief: "It's great that the princess can protect herself."

This made the Fifth Princess at a loss. She lay back on the bed with her back to Jiang Chen, meaning that she was going to sleep.

The fifth princess did not occupy the entire bed alone. She curled up at the innermost part, leaving a large space for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen did not go to bed. He sat back at the table and drank alone until dawn.

Feiyan had been waiting outside the door all night. When she saw this moment, she knocked on the door gently, "Princess, Prince Consort, are you awake?"

The fifth princess answered faster than Jiang Chen, "I'm up, no need to come in."

Jiang Chen looked back at the Fifth Princess lying on the bed. There were dark circles under her eyes, which showed that she didn't get much sleep last night.

After they both changed their clothes, someone was called in. Feiyan shyly took away the veil, as it was something that needed to be recorded.

The Fifth Princess and Jiang Chen were dressed and it was time to serve tea to Jiang's mother.

Jiang's mother sat in the main hall somewhat nervously. The princess's mansion was magnificent, but Jiang's mother was restless. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for her family to marry into such a wealthy family.

Mother Jiang waited anxiously, and finally saw the Fifth Princess and Jiang Chen coming hand in hand.

Just the first meeting made Jiang's mother feel depressed. Didn't her son know? Although the Fifth Princess and Jiang Chen tried their best to act like a loving couple, as Jiang's mother who had lived with Jiang's father all her life, how could she not see through their performance?

Which newlywed couple didn't even make eye contact? I guess Jiang's mother didn't point it out directly in the princess's mansion.

Jiang Chen used his eyes to comfort Jiang's mother. Jiang's mother managed to calm down and took the tea from the Fifth Princess with a smile. It was impossible for the royal princess to kneel down and kowtow to Jiang's mother. After offering tea and Jiang's mother giving a gift, they could be considered to have met.

The Fifth Princess had no ill feelings towards Jiang's mother, and Jiang's mother didn't know the details and didn't vent her anger on the Fifth Princess. The two of them were talking politely. The Fifth Princess was well-read, and Jiang's mother was not bad either. As they talked, they both felt that they got along very well with each other.
