Chapter 348: Express Your Attitude
A girl who looks gentle and submissive may not really be that gentle and submissive, maybe it's just her disguise.
In order for the women in the boudoir of aristocratic families to better manage the family and establish authority after getting married, their mothers would teach them some methods of controlling their subordinates. Princess Jing also came here from that time. After being married to Prince Jing for so many years, although the backyard of the palace is simple, there is no messy pickling. It's a shame, but she has also seen the ways in which emperors and concubines compete for favor.
She hates those insidious and dirty calculations, so although she treats the only concubine of Prince Jing's palace more harshly, she doesn't bother to use any means on her and Xuanyuan Hua. As long as mother and son don't overstep their bounds and stick to their duties, Jing will The princess will not cause trouble for them.
She has a strong desire to control and doesn't like others to disobey her. The concubine and concubine know her temper and are used to being submissive in front of her. In addition, she is determined not to allow the maids in the palace to hook up with the master. Over the years, the backyard of the palace has Only in this way can we maintain peace and avoid causing trouble.
Compared with the concubines competing for favor in the harem, Fang Lanyi's methods were not very clever, but they had aroused the disgust of Princess Jing. Even without Chu Hongyi, after what happened today, she would never do it again. Let Fang Lanyi come in.
She has a strong temper, so she doesn't like Chu Hongyi, who is tougher than her, but if she has to choose between Fang Lanyi and Chu Hongyi, she will only choose Chu Hongyi at the moment.
Not to mention being disrespectful, Chu Hongyi would at least not play tricks with her. After all, people with cold temperaments are obviously easier to get along with than people who are full of scheming. What's more, after all, it can't be compared to her son's liking.
Princess Jing was silent for a long time and said calmly: "I have already thought about it. I will be responsible for organizing your marriage. After you get married, you can raise the baby in peace at home. After the baby is born, you can do whatever you want. I will not interfere. You don’t need to follow these rules deliberately, as long as you don’t do anything that harms the reputation and interests of the palace; I won’t go to your courtyard often after your wedding, and even if I do, I will inform you in advance, and I will never cross the boundary without permission.”
Her words had already shown enough sincerity. Any problems that might arise after the marriage were mentioned in advance and put on the record, so that they could understand her attitude.
After pausing for a moment, she looked at Chu Hongyi and Xuanyuan Qi: "Do you have any other requests?"
Require?
Chu Hongyi shook her head. She had never thought of making any request to Princess Jing.
As for Xuanyuan Qi.
As a son, on the premise of ensuring that his wife will not be wronged, he naturally hopes that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be harmonious. The words his mother just said can indeed be heard sincerely, and he can also feel her attitude of seeking peace today. It is not an easy thing for this usually strong mother to take the initiative to lower her body.
He won't push past his limits.
"I have no other request, as long as mother doesn't embarrass Hong Yi." He said calmly, "Although Hong Yi is not good at sweet talk or coaxing others, my father and mother are elders after all. As long as what they say is reasonable, Convince people with reason, and Hong Yi and I will respect you and will never cause trouble to my father, the Queen, my mother and my concubine for no reason."
After saying these words, even if he agreed to put aside the past grudges and take a step back from his mother, he could just pretend that the previous unpleasantness had never happened.
Princess Jing nodded: "In that case, you go back to the palace tonight, and we will sit together to discuss the details of the marriage and the layout of the new house."
Xuanyuan Qi glanced at Chu Hongyi, who nodded: "Yes."
Princess Jing felt slightly relieved, and raised the tea cup at hand to her lips. She was about to take a sip of tea to moisten her throat, but she saw Chu Hongyi reaching out to stop her and holding her tea cup: "The tea is cold. "
Princess Jing was startled.
Chu Hongyi poured out her tea, asked the maid to prepare a new pot of hot tea, and then poured a cup of hot tea for Princess Jing herself: "In addition to being in charge of the military, I will learn to be a good daughter-in-law. What else can I do?" If I don’t understand, I will ask you for advice.”
Princess Jing's heart was a little dazed, and an indescribable sourness filled the air. She didn't know what to say, so she just took a sip of tea and then smiled lightly: "Okay."
Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pull Chu Hongyi, lowered his head and kissed her on the face: "Daughter-in-law."
Princess Jing frowned: "Be more serious."
"I'm very serious." Xuanyuan Qi smiled, "Hongyi and I have a good relationship, can't we show it in front of my mother? My mother must be tired of putting on airs for so many years. In fact, my father is not a romantic person. People, mothers can stop being so forceful sometimes and try to soften their attitude to get along with the father, and you may get unexpected results. "
Princess Jing said coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Which woman doesn't like to be pampered?" Xuanyuan Qi smiled lightly, "A family should be like a family. If you follow the rules and put on airs, you won't feel tired, others will be stressed, and thanks to your father, He is not a romantic man, otherwise with such a strong attitude as his mother’s, wouldn’t he just drive his father into the arms of another woman?”
Princess Jing frowned.
"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Chu Hongyi started to stop him, and then said to Princess Jing, "We will go there later. I'd like to trouble you about the marriage."
Princess Jing actually didn't expect that Chu Hongyi would compromise so easily. After all, she had clearly expressed her displeasure with her, and her son was the one who would fall out with his mother because of her. This was the reason. , Chu Hongyi can actually take the opportunity to put forward some conditions.
But she didn't.
Although his temperament is not gentle, he is not arrogant or arrogant either.
Princess Jing thought of this, and the gloomy feeling in her heart dissipated a little. She put down the tea cup and took off an jade bracelet from her wrist: "I came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything else with me. I'll give this to you first." ”
Chu Hongyi subconsciously refused.
"I know you martial arts practitioners don't like this, but this is what I want, keep it." Princess Jing put the bracelet in her palm, "I will go to the palace later and go to the queen to ask for two better ones. for you."
Chu Hongyi took the bracelet and said thank you.
"Your father and I are going to the palace, so I won't bother you here." Princess Jing looked at Xuanyuan Qi, "The marriage must be reported to the clan, and your father should go to your grandfather to report it. By the way, I Let’s go see Princess Feng again.”
Xuanyuan Qi nodded: "The princess's cousin has a gentle temperament, but the regent next to her is a cold person, and the mother and concubine must be careful. When we met in the imperial garden today, I noticed that Ah Yao from the uncle's house in Huainan Wang seemed to be very familiar with the regent. Also, Xiaojiu of the Xie family is probably leaning towards the regent. Mother can give her father a warning and tell him to stay away from Prince Wei's palace in the future."

The author has something to say:
If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good. In ancient times, filial piety was still very important. In addition to being controlling, Princess Jing actually had no major problems. In ancient times, she had strict requirements for women. It was normal for her to want a docile, knowledgeable and sensible daughter-in-law, but she still compromised for the sake of her son. From now on I won’t be a monster.
