Chen Jingting came in and greeted several people.

Mrs. Lu won the money and was in a good mood.

He ordered the maid to collect the silver bills and said with a smile:

"Why is Fourth Brother here? Have all the guests been sent away?"

"Well, sent away."

Ouyang Qiyue was in a bad mood and said:

"Fourth brother, even though you're newlyweds, you can't look at the princess every day. Although the princess is beautiful and many people are attracted to her, she's already married, and no one else can snatch her away from you."

This statement hints at Wen Xingchen's past affair with someone.

Chen Jingting said bluntly: "Aren't you afraid that the sisters-in-law will bully the princess? Everyone in the family knows that the third sister-in-law is good at playing cards."

"Come on, I'm your third sister-in-law and I'm a complete loser today."

"Ah, I'm so unlucky today, Third Sister-in-law. Could it be that you've done too many bad things recently?"

"..."

Seeing that Ouyang Qiyue looked a little unhappy, Wen Xingchen stood up and said, "Then let's stop here for today."

The couple went back.

When they arrived at Treasure Garden, Nanny Ning was sorting out the dowry and gifts. After she finished, she handed over the list. Wen Xingchen was too lazy to sort it out and instead instructed, "You guys can sort it out yourselves. This princess is trusting you."

This sentence deeply moved Nanny Ning.

"Princess, do we need to move these gifts to the Princess's Mansion?"

Wen Xingchen glanced at Chen Jingting and said, "We'll wait until the prince consort is willing to go to the princess's mansion with me and then move out."

Chen Jingting raised his eyebrows.

Nanny Ning thought it would be a good idea for the princess to stay at the Chen family for a while since she had just gotten married.

"That's no hurry."

After saying this, Nanny Ning took her leave, leaving time for the young couple.

Palace

The emperor had just dealt with some government affairs and casually asked Furun who was standing beside him.

"Xingchen got married yesterday. Did you go? How are they getting along?"

Furun shook his head.

"I did go, but I came back a long time ago. I can't lie on someone's doorstep and peek at them so late at night, can I?"

The emperor was a little disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted.

Fu Run said, "My mother sent two maids to help Xingchen. News should have come back by now."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then said, "Go and inform your mother that I will be there for dinner shortly."

Furun returned to Kunning Palace and happened to hear the conversation between the Empress and the servants.

"Are you serious? Xingchen really offered tea to the two elders of the Chen family?"

"Not only that, I've noticed that the princess and her husband have a very good relationship. They're inseparable and inseparable."

The queen smiled.

"This is what a newlywed couple should be like." He was also worried that the princess would marry into the Chen family, and he was unwilling to let Silang of the Chen family consummate the marriage.

"What do they usually do at home?"

"Today is the first time since our wedding, and the guests haven't left yet. The Prince Consort is seeing them off, while the Princess is playing mahjong with the young ladies of the Chen family."

"Playing mahjong? The Chen family is quite good at it. Aren't they giving money to Xingchen?" Seeing that the person who answered did not say anything, the Queen Mother asked, "Why? Did the princess win all their money?" This is not good for their relationship as sisters-in-law.

"No, Princess doesn't win or lose."

"The Chen family is really good. They actually have such a master? Xingchen has met his match."

"..."

The Queen Mother saw Fu Run and couldn't help but said, "Fu Run, come forward."

Fu Run knew that the Queen was going to lecture her, so she said, "Father will be here soon."

The queen was stunned and quickly ordered people to prepare.

Furun took the opportunity to slip away.

As soon as he walked out of Kunning Palace, he saw the eldest prince Xiao Sheng.

He looked so dejected, as if he had lost his wife.

Furun passed by him with a teasing look on his face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why do you look like that? Could it be that your beloved married someone else? Are you sad?"

Xiao Sheng was reluctant to come, but due to his current identity... he had to come... Besides, he also wanted to know about Wen Xingchen's situation.

"Sister, I'm here to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

"Really? Then come in."

Xiao Sheng did not move.

"My sister attended my cousin Xingchen's wedding yesterday. Is my cousin Xingchen okay?"

Fu Run blinked and said, "What could possibly happen on the wedding night?"

"By the way, I heard from my mother that Xingchen behaved very well at the Chen family today and even offered tea to the two elders of the Chen family."

"In the afternoon, she played mahjong with several sisters-in-law from the Chen family. With her card skills, she actually lost."

Lost?

Everyone in the palace knows that Wen Xingchen's card skills are unmatched. Will she lose?

impossible.

"You also think she won't lose, right? But she lost, what does that mean? It means she's trying to please the Chen family."

"Just like when she liked you, she always tried to please Concubine Xi." It hurts.

"..."

"Back then, you were named His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin because of a word from Xingchen. But now? There is no other Xingchen..." who can be used by you.

Xiao Sheng was depressed. His only hope was completely shattered.

"Royal sister, Cousin Xingchen married Chen Jia Silang only to piss me off. One day, when she realizes what's going on, she'll definitely regret it."

"Royal sister, you should persuade her and not act on impulse."

"So that he won't regret it later and cause trouble."

Furun was so angry that he almost laughed.

Forget it, why bother with a fool.

Anyone can see the role of Wen Xingchen.

From the moment she stopped liking Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng's luck ran out.

Xiao Sheng relies on the Xi family. If he has the help of Wen Xingchen, he will definitely be the only candidate for the prince.

However, Wen Xingchen married into the Chen family. The Xi family, which was originally the only dominant family, now has a rival of equal strength because of Wen Xingchen's injection.

And Xiao Sheng is in danger.

However, it was Xiao Sheng's own fault that things had come to this point.

竹园

When Chen Jingye came back from work, Lu told him that she had won dozens of taels of silver today.

Chen Jingye also found it very strange after hearing this.

"What? Did your third sister-in-law give in to you?"

Mrs. Lu shook her head.

"I don't know why, but my second sister-in-law and I had really good luck today. We got good cards every time. You haven't seen the look on my third sister-in-law's face. This is the first time I've seen her with a gloomy face."

"But the princess's card skills are even worse than ours. She rarely wins, but she didn't lose."

Chen Jingye asked curiously, "So only my third sister-in-law lost?"

"Is such that."

"Then go back and thank the princess."

"why?"

Chen Jingye occasionally heard in the palace that the princess was uneducated but very good at playing cards.

His card counting skills are unmatched.

The reason why my wife was able to win was most likely because of the princess's encouragement.
