Chen Ruyi's speed in handling things must be said to be extremely fast.
Jiang Huan showed his intention to return to Jiang Country yesterday. Today, Chen Ruyi prepared horses and prepared a reason to go out to the city for inspection.
He had everything ready, except for buying some gifts to take back to Jiang Country with Jiang Huan.
However, before this gift was purchased, rumors about Jiang Huan began to spread in the city.
These rumors came without warning, overwhelmingly and instantly.
It is said that Jiang Huan fell in love with the power of the Crown Prince's Palace and immediately transformed from an unknown princess of a small country to the Queen's sweetheart.
The queen supported her and even regarded her as more important than the prince.
Rumors like this spread everywhere, and finally turned into one sentence, "The Crown Princess does not know what is good or bad, and is always pushing the limits. If such a person becomes a mistress in the future, Chen Guo will not be allowed to change her surname as soon as possible!"
Pushing the envelope?
As soon as Jiang Huan heard these four words, he knew why this rumor spread.
It seems that those powerful people played tricks with me at the banquet. They wanted to be friends with me and squeeze out Pang Yan. In fact, they secretly cooked up such a lot of things, and the purpose was just to let their reputation rot in Chen Guo.
.
After all, I have not officially married Chen Ruyi. If my reputation becomes bad, it is not impossible for the emperor to use this as an excuse to break off the engagement to Jiang Guo.
Once the engagement is broken off, Jiang Guo's disadvantage becomes even more obvious.
Jiang Huan was well aware of this, but when he hesitated, he became suspicious of the originator of the rumor.
Jiang Huan initially believed that the people spreading the rumors must be those powerful people, even Pang Yan. But the rumors came and spread too quickly.
This speed is not something that a powerful minister can achieve, but rather something that only a queen or even an emperor can achieve.
When Jiang Huan thought of this possibility, he was a little stunned.
In the memory of his previous life, Chen Du told himself that although the prince Chen Ruyi was suffering from an incurable disease, the emperor recognized him as the future monarch of the Chen Kingdom. And among these princes, the emperor loved the prince the most.
First, Chen Ruyi is extremely talented. Although he sits in a wheelchair for a long time, he is full of knowledge and is familiar with military books.
Secondly, there was a rumor in the palace that the prince was not the queen's first child, but the second son.
According to rumors, the emperor tortured and killed hundreds of boys in order to seek power. Although he later ascended to the throne of God as he wished, he remained childless.
Not only the queen, but there were three thousand beauties in the harem, but none of them could give birth to an heir for the emperor.
For three to five years, Chen Yan was also worried. He had seen various doctors and used all the prescriptions recorded in medical books and even unofficial histories, but still not a single concubine was pregnant.
.
After the emperor listened to the advice of the expert, he set up a supervisory office and invited the expert to take care of it. The expert only said that the emperor was suffering from the consequences of karma and had accumulated too many life debts.
It bites back on itself.
If you want to have children, you must pay off your sinful debt.
Chen Yan worked conscientiously at the beginning, adopting homeless boys according to Jian Tiansi's wishes, and helping refugees all year round. Chen Su, who was the queen at the time, did not shirk and accompanied him every time.
Over time, the good character of the emperor and queen was praised among the people. It seemed that the world had forgotten the hundreds of lives that Chen Yan owed back then.
Later, Chen Su became pregnant with her first child, but she died in the womb on the day of delivery. Rumor has it that when the child was stillborn, cries of babies were often heard in the palace, saying that those children came back to claim their lives.
Although the palace people who knew the inside story were sent out of the palace and those who were given care for their old age, this incident was still recorded in the history of the country.
Officials from the Jian Tiansi also said that this child had endured disasters and sufferings for the emperor, and the next child would do the same.
So there was Chen Ruyi.
Chen Ruyi's illness was brought from her mother's womb. According to unofficial records, the Supervisor Tiansi said that the prince's illness was caused by the emperor. How long the prince lives will be how long he can ward off disasters for the emperor.
Therefore, the emperor loved the prince who was dying soon.
However, this rumor was tightly sealed and not many people knew about it. Chen Du only told Jiang Huan when he was drunk and lost his temper.
If the emperor valued the prince so much, Chen Su would have wanted to take the power of choosing the prince into his own hands.
The position of the Crown Princess is the most powerful sword placed in the Prince's Mansion. She can choose all the confidants around her, but she cannot let this position fall into the hands of a foreign princess like herself.
Jiang Huan clapped his hands in sudden realization, and when he looked at the star-moon river skirt again, he already had an idea in his mind.
The royal family wanted to smear her reputation, but she wanted everyone in the Chen Kingdom to know that she, Jiang Huan, was not a weak woman with no power, but a choking little pepper.
"Mengyu, dress up, let's go to the market!"
- wet market
The markets in Chen Guo have always been very lively.
What’s more, today is the picking party held once in March. People from other countries have the opportunity to come to Chen State to have fun.
People in various costumes gathered in the market, and Jiang Huan even saw a few of Jiang Guo's costumes.
The vendors from the Jiang Kingdom greeted Jiang Huan eagerly when they first saw her, calling each of the five princesses affectionately, as if they were not saying hello to the princess, but to the girls who could be seen everywhere in the neighborhood.
When Jiang Huan first arrived in Jiang Kingdom, he was drunk and never showed his face.
Later, when I went to the palace, I rode in a carriage and never let the people see her true appearance. Today, when someone called the Fifth Princess, the people of Chen State thought she had a similar name at first, and did not think that this girl was her at all.
Jiang Huan's.
It was only when I saw the star-and-moon skirt that I sighed in shock, "Isn't this star-moon skirt the princess's wedding dress?"
"Isn't it? What! Could it be that this really belongs to the Crown Princess?"
The common people chattered non-stop, and Jiang Huan felt a headache from the noisy situation.
"How could it be that Hu Meizi! You haven't heard of it yet? That Hu Meizi seduced the prince and left the third prince behind. When he first came to our Chen country, he stepped on the prime minister's head!"
"No! Where is the rule for Miss Pang to come and apologize to her? Miss Pang is the future person of the Prince's Mansion. She will never look up when we meet her in the future. This foxy girl is not shooting herself in the foot!"
All these gossips fell into Jiang Huan's ears, word for word.
Mengyu's face turned cold at first, and she pressed her fingers on the dagger at her waist. However, Jiang Huan held her wrist first, signaling that she didn't need to do anything.
Jiang Huan raised her head and scolded sternly, "I, the fifth princess of the Jiang Kingdom, when will it be your turn to comment?"
