Chen Rui was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed to Xiao Jingyao and said, "With this prince's words, Chen is relieved. The prince's willingness to serve the country is a blessing for the people!"
"Shangshu Chen is loyal to the lord and devotes himself to the country. No wonder the emperor valued you so much..." Xiao Jingyao laughed twice, covering up the strange color that flashed through his eyes.
Chen Rui was immersed in the joy of finally persuaded the King of Luoyang to stay in the imperial capital to participate in the government affairs. He did not notice that Xiao Jingyao's expression was different, and shook his head and smiled modestly.
The two of them walked and talked at Wanfo Temple, talking about the national affairs to the family affairs. Chen Rui unknowingly flashed Wei Zijin's cold and decisive face in his mind, and he couldn't help asking: "The prince has arrived and stood up." Why didn’t you stand up for the imperial concubine in 2019?”
Xiao Jingyao stopped and looked at Chen Rui with a sharp look, as if he wanted to see clearly his intention to suddenly mention his intention to establish a princess.
Chen Rui suddenly met Xiao Jingyao's sharp eyes, and he felt the illusion that he had seen through his thoughts. He coughed lowly to hide the embarrassment of asking such a thing, and smiled apologetically: "Prince, please forgive Chen for being rude just now... ...But since the prince decided to stay in the imperial capital for a long time, the prince's mansion always needs a mistress!"
Xiao Jingyao nodded slightly, but did not deny Chen Rui's proposal. Youyou sighed: "I have been looking for a suitable princess, but not everyone is as lucky as Chen Shangshu, who can marry Shangshu's wife. A wonderful woman!”
Chen Rui was slightly stunned. Although he knew that the King of Luoyang made this sigh, he was just because of his simple appreciation of Wei Zijin, but when he thought of the previous situation of Wei Zijin and Luoyang King laughing, he felt mixed feelings.
Wei Zijin is his official wife, but he has been neglecting the first person, and is not the first man to discover her goodness! This perception made Chen Rui feel a little sour.
"The prince is praised. I believe the prince will definitely find a suitable princess!" Although Chen Rui felt a little uncomfortable, he still pretended to be smiling.
Xiao Jingyao curled his lips and smiled without commenting, without saying anything.

Shangshu Mansion.
As soon as Wei Zijin brought the others back to the Shangshu Mansion, Qing'er, the servant beside Chen Rui, came up quickly and reported the third wife Lu Xiyun's life to Wei Zijin in detail.
The fourth wife Liu Yiyi was exhausted, so she did not rush to see Lu Xiyun’s joke this time, but instead yawned and went back to her room to make up for her sleep.
In order to prevent Lu Xiyun from plotting against Liu Yiyi's children because of madness, Wei Zijin specially sent a few more guards to Liu Yiyi's yard to guard.
After arranging these, Wei Zijin said lightly to Qing'er who was anxious to wait for her orders: "Didn't you lock her in the ancestral hall and think about it as per the instructions of Lord Shangshu? Why did she have the opportunity to make trouble and make a fuss? Living?"
Although her tone was plain, Qing'er still shivered for no reason when she looked at her calm expression. She felt that the aura of this mistress in the family was even more frightening than Lord Shangshu!
He has been a servant by Lord Shangshu for so long, and he rarely has the same panic as when facing the eldest lady.
"When I go back to the eldest lady, the slave did lock her in the ancestral hall according to the instructions of the Shangshu, and ordered people to stay outside the ancestral hall and not let her come out, but the trouble is here..."
