Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

"Luo is dead, Feng has been appointed as the legitimate wife, and everyone who knew about this has been dealt with almost entirely. He thinks he's done it perfectly, right?" Emperor Yongxi snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the fifth son wanting to bring good luck, they wouldn't have been able to give up their pampered daughter. This Luo-born child wouldn't have been able to come to the capital!"

The Queen's eyes flashed: "Yan Xiaozhen is so brave!"

Emperor Yongxi snorted lightly. Not only was he bold, but his plans were also big!

The queen drank tea and lowered her eyes to hide the darkness in them.

A young eunuch had already brought a sedan chair and sent Chu Jinxun and the other person to the imperial garden.

At this time, the Osmanthus Fragrance Pavilion in the northeast of the Imperial Garden was very lively.

A long table was covered with exquisite wine jars, wine pots, and wine glasses. The princes and princesses sat around the table, chatting and laughing. Several eunuchs and palace maids waited on their side.

From a distance, the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

A young eunuch came to report that Prince An and the Princess had arrived, and the Third Prince, who was hosting the wine tasting, ordered someone to go and welcome them.

Chu Jinxun and the other person turned around the corridor and caught the attention of everyone.

The young man was frail, walked slowly, and looked pale and sickly. Yan Xining followed him, appearing calm and composed.

The Seventh Princess covered her mouth and giggled, with disdain and contempt, curling her lips, full of disdain: "He is such a sickly guy, how many times can he save his life by getting married? I don't know what he is doing here, it really kills the fun!"

"Seventh Imperial Sister, stop talking nonsense!" The Second Prince stopped her. "Fifth Brother is in poor health and rarely goes out. It's a rare opportunity for him to be able to participate today. Don't hurt his feelings!"

As they were talking, Chu Jinxun and Yan Xining had already approached. The Third Prince went to greet them. There was a gentle smile on his young and handsome face. His whole body exuded the free and easy temperament of a leisurely cloud and wild crane, and his every move showed his dignity.

He spoke in a gentle and kind voice, "Fifth brother, sister-in-law, today I'm bringing out the wine I brewed three years ago for you all to taste. I wasn't sure if you were feeling well, so I didn't invite you. It's a rare honor for you and sister-in-law to do me the honor. However, I can't give you any wine. I'll have someone prepare some Biwu Qinglu tea for you!"

"Ahem, thank you, Third Brother!"

"Someone, quickly add a seat for Prince An and the Princess!"

Chu Jinxun greeted the princes present and pointed them out to Yan Xining one by one.

The one with a noble temperament, gentle eyes and a faint smile is the second prince Chu Qian'an.

He has handsome eyebrows and eyes, extraordinary bearing, and exudes nobility in his bones. His eyebrows are full of scrutiny, and the smile does not reach his eyes. He is the sixth prince Chu Yunyan.

The other princes and princesses also have their own characteristics and are all a group of gifted children.

Yan Xining shouted again.

Chu Qianan was very graceful. He smiled gently and said, "We are all brothers and sisters. You don't have to be polite, my fifth brother and sister!"

The Sixth Prince Chu Yunyan called out with a half-smile, "Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law!"

The princes and princesses were indifferent to each other. Some responded, while others were too lazy to respond and were very arrogant.

Only the Sixth Princess called out sweetly, "Fifth brother, sister-in-law!" Her voice was crisp, and the corners of her lips were raised as she spoke. She looked like a very lively and bright woman.

The seats assigned to them were next to the Seventh Princess, who glanced at them with disdain, as if she was afraid of being infected with disease.

Chu Jinxun looked shy, his lips turned pale, and he revealed a bleak smile: "Seventh Imperial Sister, cough cough cough, although my disease is not contagious, but if you are afraid of death, cough cough, you can go somewhere else!"

The seventh princess raised her eyebrows angrily: "You are the one who is afraid of death. I am fine, why should I be afraid of death? I was here first, and if anyone needs to change, it should be you!" After saying that, she sat down angrily.

The tea that the third prince had prepared was also served.

He asked Yan Xining with a smile: "Fifth sister-in-law, Fifth Brother cannot drink alcohol. I wonder if you are interested in tasting wine?"

"Third brother, aren't you asking a blind man for advice?" The Seventh Princess's voice sarcastically rang out, "Haven't you heard that she's just a peasant from the countryside? What does she know about wine?"

Such strong hostility.

"Seventh Imperial Sister, please be careful with your words. Don't interfere in other people's affairs!"

As the empress's legitimate son, Chu Yunyan was very majestic. When he spoke, the Seventh Princess could only mutter in a low voice: "I didn't say anything wrong!"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm from the countryside. I haven't learned any etiquette or upbringing. I'm lucky to have enough food to eat. I'm not a princess!"

The Seventh Princess didn't hear anything at all and snorted arrogantly.

Chu Yunyan smiled slightly, "Fifth brother, although you are weak, the Weiyuan Marquisate has gone too far. They are actually using Li as a substitute for Tao Jiang. Not everyone can be worthy of your status as a prince!"

His eyes casually fell on Yan Xining and swept across her, obviously not taking her seriously.

There was a low sneer.

Chu Jinxun did not participate in their gatherings and had no close relationship with these royal brothers. The bride of his arranged marriage was replaced by someone else at the time of the wedding. Their gloating expressions were very obvious, and their contempt was not concealed.

"It's not really Li Dai Taojiang, cough cough cough, it was decided with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Originally, cough cough cough, it was the eldest daughter! It's just to restore order!"

"The eldest daughter? Is she worthy? Sister Xueqi is the eldest daughter!" The Seventh Princess said sarcastically, "They are twins from the same mother, so how can Sister Xueqi be so good? This country girl wouldn't even dare to speak, right? It's embarrassing!"

Chu Jinxun wanted to drink tea, but his hands were shaking and he didn't hold the teacup steadily, so the whole cup of tea fell forward and spilled all over the Seventh Princess.

The tea was just served and it was very hot. The seventh princess' screams immediately resounded throughout the imperial garden.

Chu Jinxun apologized: "Ahem, ah, sorry, I didn't hold it firmly, ahem..."

Although the tea was strong and spicy, most of it splashed onto her sleeves, with only a tiny amount on her wrists. However, she was too spoiled to bear even the slightest pain, and her clothes were stained. She immediately became furious and pointed at Chu Jinxun and cursed, "You useless piece of shit! Aren't you going to die soon? Why don't you just go and die? How can you drink tea if you can't even serve tea properly?"

Chu Jinxun seemed to be very hurt. He looked at the Seventh Princess sadly and said tremblingly: "You, you..." Then he fell backwards.

His face was golden purple, his lips were blue, he covered his heart, breathed with difficulty, and fell into Yan Xining's arms.

Yan Xining helped the person sit on a soft chair and said coldly to the Seventh Princess: "Apologize!"

The Seventh Princess acted as if she had heard some utterly ridiculous joke. She pointed at herself and then at Chu Jinxun: "I apologize to him? Are you blind? It was clearly his tea that spilled on me."

Her personal maid had already brought the burn ointment and applied it on her, but it only left a red mark the size of a mung bean. She was so angry that she pushed the maid away!

Yan Xining stepped forward and said coldly, "Apologize!"

The Seventh Princess immediately threw the ointment box in her hand towards Yan Xining, cursing: "Go to hell, you country bumpkin, and you dare to ask this princess to apologize? Who do you think you are..."

"Pa!" Before the Seventh Princess could finish her shouting, a loud slap landed on her face.

The whole place was quiet.
