Chapter 239 The Crown Prince and the 5th Prince are here too
"Hello, Uncle Zhao. This must be Cheng Yin. I am Wen Xi," Wen Xi stepped forward to greet him.
"Ah, yes, yes, Chengyin has met your sister... Master Wen, I held you in my arms when you were a child, and your sister as well. I held both of them in my arms. I didn't expect that they would become more and more beautiful as they grew up." Uncle Zhao patted Zhao Chengyin.
"Mr. Wen is polite, please come in." Zhao Chengyin acted mature and steady, while Mr. Zhao was a little childish.
"Wen Xi, please excuse me for disturbing you. Second Prince and Second Princess, please come in."
When the two heard Wen Xi's invitation to them, they couldn't help but think that this man was sick. They came earlier than him, so why was he pretending to be the master here?
Master Zhao Keke didn't understand her implication and walked forward happily, but Zhao Chengyin heard that she was putting on airs to reject the second prince on behalf of his sister! How sinister! Zhao Chengyin looked at the two of them laughing foolishly and was speechless.
"Are the Second Prince and Second Princess here to visit Ke Ke today as well?" Wen Xi asked politely.
"Yes, I heard that Coco was sick and hadn't gotten better in a few days, so I asked the Second Prince to accompany her to see her. She's been here for a few days and is much better today. Master Wen is here too," Chu Tunan said sarcastically.
Wen Xi didn't care but replied gently, "I had some things to deal with a few days ago. I came to see you today because I had some free time. Why can't you take care of yourself?" Wen Xi raised his hand and pretended to knock her on the head.
Zhao Keke quickly covered her forehead and shouted, "Don't hit my head all the time. It will be so ugly if it gets swollen."
"It's not ugly, it's so cute that way" Wen Xi laughed
The father and son of the Zhao family were all smiling, only the second prince and Chu Tunan looked unhappy.
"Brother Wen Xi, what have you been busy with recently? I haven't seen you for several days." Zhao Keke sat next to him and pulled his sleeve.
"I went to look for the herb you wanted. I've asked someone to bring it to you, along with your favorite snacks." Wen Xi really looked like she loved Zhao Keke so much that Chu Tunan lost his composure for a moment.
"Wen Xi, do you know what you are doing?"
"Tunan?" The second prince was puzzled. Why did she, who was always dignified and graceful, lose her composure today?
"Second Princess, you are joking. I have already told you that you are here to see Coco. Did the Second Princess really just come to see Coco?" Wen Xi narrowed her eyes.
"Well, sorry, we knew each other before, and I just wanted to remind you that it's impolite for the man and the woman to be too intimate before they get married." Chu Tunan looked like he was getting along well with them.
"Second Princess, you are joking. Coco has lived in my Prime Minister's Mansion for so long. She is like one of our own. I just changed the place to visit her. Besides, this is our place, right? Who would say no?" Wen Xi smiled at her.
"Well, let's go to the dining hall. It's time to eat." Seeing that the two of them seemed to be incompatible, Mr. Zhao was anxious to mediate.
"Master, the Crown Prince and his concubine are here, and the Fifth Prince and his concubine are here too." The servant came running over to announce
"..." Mr. Zhao didn't want to invite them in, but he had to. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Please invite them in quickly."
"Dad, even if you are the prince, you don't have to force yourself to show your disrespect. After all, our Zhao family has been replenishing the national treasury. Be tough," Zhao Chengyin whispered in his ear.
When Mr. Zhao heard this, he straightened up instantly and stood still. When the Second Prince and the Second Empress heard that the Crown Prince was coming, they would definitely go out to greet him, including Wen Xi.
The four of them came quickly. Before the people here had even taken a few steps, they came towards them.
Master Zhao took two steps, and the prince stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zhao, why did you have to greet me in person? I am sorry to bother you."
"Meet the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's Consort, the Fifth Prince and the Fifth Consort." Everyone saluted.
"Greetings, Crown Prince, Fifth Brother," the Second Prince greeted politely.
"I didn't know my second brother came so often. Fifth brother, we are late. Oh, why is Master Wen here too?" The prince called his brother but he looked down on him in his heart.
"I dare not answer the Crown Prince's call of brother." The Second Prince and the Crown Prince had always kept to themselves, but now this trip had revealed their contradictions.
"Oh, are you afraid that others will forget something by taking such a virtuous Second Imperial Concubine like you around everywhere?" The prince is really vicious.
Chu Tunan calmly said, "I wonder what the prince is referring to? Can you tell me about it?"
Chu Tunan was sure that the prince would not dare to say it out loud. Ever since she married the second prince with the destiny of Ziwei Star, the emperor ordered the royal family not to talk about this matter, and those who violated the order would be severely punished!
"Oh, what? You don't need to provoke me, just go to the street and ask someone and you'll know. I don't dare to comment on it," the prince said with a smile.
"Your Highness, look at how you've made the Second Princess unhappy." Xue Daihua was definitely on the same side as the Crown Prince at this time.
"Ha, I don't know when a concubine can be regarded as a wife or sister-in-law. To put it bluntly, she is just a concubine." Chu Tunan didn't tolerate her at all.
Xue Daihua's face was not good. This was what she hated the most. She was exposed by Chu Tunan, a second-married woman.
"you……"
"Okay, stop messing around. This is Ziwei Star, be careful." Although the prince said this, his tone was full of disdain. He hugged her and went straight inside.
"Second brother, can't you and the crown prince be like before, bullying each other? This makes it so difficult for me, your brother. I'm just here to join in the fun." The fifth prince looked indifferent.
Wen Ziqi saw Wen Xi and came forward to greet him, "Brother, why are you here too?"
"Fifth Imperial Concubine, it's better to call me by my name. My status is different now." Wen Xi didn't want to get too involved with her.
"Brother, even if I get married, I am still a member of the Wen family. Besides, we are the only ones here. Why do you have to be so serious?" Wen Ziqi was furious when he heard that the carriage that Wen Xi was riding in today was used by his younger brother. He greeted him and was ready to find a way to punish him, but he refused to take it!
"Greetings, Prince." Zhao Keke was very weak at this time and looked unhappy.
In fact, Wen Xi noticed that she looked unhappy at the beginning. Since she ran towards him with a smile on her face, he would ignore it and kept trying to find an excuse to talk to her alone and let her rest more. Unexpectedly, he ran into the crown prince. The fifth prince came over.
"Miss Zhao, you look so bad, why don't you stay in bed and rest?" The prince reached out to help him, but Zhao Chengyin supported him. "I don't want to trouble you, Prince. I can do it."
"Is this your brother?" The prince looked at Zhao Keke.
"Yes, I am Zhao Chengyin, your humble servant. I am honored to meet you, Your Highness." He was about to kneel down to pay his respects, but was stopped by the prince. "The late emperor and father both said that you, three generations of your family, do not need to kneel down and pay your respects to the royal family. How could you forget?" The prince said this with a loving tone, which made Zhao Chengyin feel very uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Prince."
"Ms. Zhao, please go in and take a rest first."
"If you have anything to say, please come in and talk. Miss Zhao is not in good health and cannot stand for long." The prince asked them to come in and discuss.
