Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals
Chapter 99 Marriage Swap
When the invitation from the Crown Prince's residence was delivered to the Prince Xian's residence, Liu Chenchen was studying the plans for the opera house.
The original restaurant was transformed into a theater, named "Liyuan Spring".
Several newly submitted design sketches by the artist were spread out on the table.
Liu Chenchen opened the invitation and saw that the handwriting was neat and beautiful. It read that the Crown Prince's residence invited noble ladies and gentlemen from the capital to enjoy the chrysanthemums on a clear autumn day.
Knowing that the Crown Prince's residence had invited her, the Princess Consort specially summoned Liu Chenchen to the front courtyard and gave her a long lecture.
The gist of it is that this is Liu Chenchen's first public appearance as the Crown Prince's wife, and she shouldn't bring shame to the Prince Xian's mansion.
Liu Chenchen couldn't refuse her mother-in-law, so she smiled politely and replied respectfully, "Your daughter-in-law understands and will act carefully."
But inwardly, I rolled my eyes. "Decent, my foot!"
This person has probably forgotten that the greatest dignity Liu Chenchen has achieved so far is the position of the Crown Prince's consort, which she seized.
As for her words and actions, it's best if no one bothers her. She's already the Crown Prince's wife, who can she put up with?
Looking at Liu Chenchen's respectful demeanor below, the Princess Consort changed the subject: "You've been married into the Prince's mansion for four months now."
Upon hearing these words, Liu Chenchen immediately sensed something was wrong; they clearly weren't pleasant to hear.
Sure enough, the Princess Consort then said, "This belly... why is there still no sign of pregnancy? Is there something wrong with your health? Have the imperial physician come to the mansion in a few days to take your pulse."
Liu Chenchen didn't know what to say; this pressure to give birth came so suddenly.
"Thank you for your concern, Mother. However, I feel that I am still young and therefore not in a hurry to have children."
Sister, this body is only seventeen, still a minor, okay? What kind of child is this?
Xiao Shiyan could make her disregard the fact that she was seventeen years old and her body was not yet fully developed before having a child?
What? Did the other person save her life?
Princess Xian's expression changed upon hearing Liu Chenchen's answer. She stared at Liu Chenchen for a long time before waving her hand and saying, "Go and prepare."
Liu Chenchen narrowed her eyes dangerously, but still got up and left.
She knew perfectly well what the Princess Consort's glance meant, but she hoped it wasn't true, otherwise...
As the crown prince, the banquets he hosts are naturally of a different scale.
Since it's called a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, there will naturally be plenty of blooming chrysanthemums.
Pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water are all adorned with chrysanthemums of various colors.
There are golden chrysanthemums, black chrysanthemums, green chrysanthemums, and white chrysanthemums, interspersed with various other flowers.
Flowers are in full bloom, filling the air with their fragrance.
The women gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.
As soon as Liu Chenchen arrived, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.
A story of a concubine's daughter scheming to rise to power through a marriage alliance, a classic example of how one can completely change their destiny in one fell swoop.
It's the center of everyone's conversation.
Among the gazes directed at Liu Chenchen were scrutiny, mockery, envy, and of course, contempt.
Liu Chenchen seemed oblivious, a polite smile on her lips as she bowed to the Crown Princess without glancing to the side.
She enjoyed watching these people, who clearly looked down on her background, yet were forced to bow and greet her because of her status as the Crown Prince's consort.
In short, they can't stand me, but they can't get rid of me.
When the Crown Princess saw Liu Chenchen bow, she quickly stood up from her seat and warmly took her hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, you've arrived. Please rise and rise."
The Crown Princess is twenty-five years old this year. She has a dignified and elegant appearance and a graceful demeanor.
It seems the emperor is very satisfied with his crown prince, and the princess he has betrothed to is a woman of great beauty and virtue, destined to bring peace and prosperity to the nation.
The Crown Princess led Liu Chenchen to a seat below hers, then smiled and offered a businesslike compliment: "I've always heard the Prince mention that you, sister-in-law, have a straightforward personality. I've wanted to meet you for a long time, and today I finally do."
The Crown Princess addressed Liu Chenchen's younger brother and sister-in-law with great naturalness, which made the ladies of the various families who were watching nearby understand what was going on.
Regardless of how she became the Crown Princess, that's her own skill, and it's a done deal now.
Liu Chenchen chatted casually with the Crown Princess, and in her heart, she held the Crown Princess in even higher regard.
Look, this is what a person who does great things looks like.
They do not judge people by their birth, but only by their social status.
Enjoying flowers and tea, the atmosphere is just right.
Until a clueless girl in a pale yellow dress, surrounded by several young ladies, came straight towards Liu Chenchen.
The young girl's eyes sized her up, and her voice was clear and crisp: "This must be my newly joined cousin-in-law. I've long heard of your illustrious deeds, and indeed... hehe, you are truly extraordinary."
The once lively scene instantly fell silent.
Some people were drinking tea with their heads down, while others pretended to admire the flowers, but they were all secretly glancing at the two of them.
Liu Chenchen put down her teacup and looked at the girl who had spoken.
He asked in a casual tone, "Excuse me? Who is this?"
...Pfft.
Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The girl glanced around and looked at Liu Chenchen: "My cousin-in-law may not know me. I am Zhou Wanrou, and the Princess Consort is my aunt."
When stating his identity, he held his head high.
Liu Chenchen couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Oh? So it's your aunt? Judging by your expression, I thought it was your mother!"
"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Please don't mind, cousin."
Zhou Wanrou's expression turned grim: "Sister-in-law, you were once a concubine's daughter, so you probably haven't seen anything like this before, have you? Now that you've suddenly risen to such a high position, are you getting used to it?"
These words were a direct slap in the face, a blatant insult implying that Liu Chenchen was not presentable.
Several young ladies who were on good terms with Zhou Wanrou lowered their heads and pursed their lips, secretly smiling.
Liu Chenchen slowly picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "My cousin's manners are quite good. I didn't know that all the daughters of the Zhou family were so well-mannered. I've certainly broadened my horizons today."
Zhou Wanrou's expression changed: "You..."
"What about me?" Liu Chenchen interrupted her, her eyes suddenly turning cold: "My position as the Crown Prince's consort is perfectly legitimate. The Emperor knows, the Empress knows, and the Empress Dowager knows as well. Why does it require the Zhou family's permission?"
Zhou Wanrou was startled by what Liu Chenchen said. This was a serious crime, and she dared not take the blame.
"Princess Consort," a young woman who bore a resemblance to Zhou Wanrou suddenly stepped forward, bowed, and spoke.
This person was Zhou Wanrou's older sister. Seeing that her younger sister had caused trouble and things were not going well, she quickly stepped in to smooth things over:
"Wanrou is young and doesn't know any better. Her words were offensive. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."
Liu Chenchen glanced at her, her smile not reaching her eyes: "So this is the Zhou family's young lady. No wonder your younger sister is so ill-mannered. It turns out she has a good older sister who spoils her. No wonder."
Zhou Wanrou's sister was taken aback by Liu Chenchen's lack of respect and her expression froze.
The entire venue fell completely silent.
Just then, a maid announced from the doorway that the banquet in the front courtyard was ready and that the Crown Prince invited the Crown Princess to bring the ladies and young women of each household over.
Only then was the awkward situation resolved.
Everyone stood up and followed the Crown Princess, exchanging glances.
Liu Chenchen calmly stood up and followed closely behind the Crown Princess, one step behind, without giving the Zhou sisters even a second glance.
They didn't take it seriously at all.
