"Mrs. Rong, we meet again." Luo Jun replied with a smile. Then his eyes fell on Princess Mu next to him and said softly: "I have met my mother."
Although it had been several days since she married into Prince Chu's palace, Luo Junyao had never met Princess Mu.
The reason why I was able to recognize the other party's identity was mainly because of the appearance that was somewhat similar to Xie Yan's and the somewhat unsightly-looking Princess Mu'an who was among the group of people.
In addition, although this huge Shangyong Imperial City is full of outstanding people, it is not easy to find someone who is as good as Bai Jingrong in terms of appearance.
If Bai Jingrong's reputation back then may have been due to other reasons, then Princess Mu's ability to get the title of Dongling Shuangshu was really based on her face.
Princess Mu looked at Luo Junyao, her expression was neither cold nor friendly, as if she was looking at an insignificant stranger.
Princess Mu nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite."
Luo Junyao didn't feel very good about this "mother concubine" and didn't want to talk to her, so he still looked at Bai Jingrong and said with a smile: "It's rare for Mrs. Rong to come to the birthday banquet of Prime Minister Ruan."
Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Prime Minister Dasheng's fiftieth birthday, I naturally want to come over to congratulate him. I just hope that Prime Minister Ruan and his wife won't blame us for coming uninvited."
Mrs. Ruan next to her said quickly: "How could it be possible? It is an honor for our Ruan family to have Mrs. Rong and Princess Mu come. Why don't we invite you two to the small building next to us for tea?"
Bai Jingrong nodded and thanked, glanced at the girls gathered together, and asked with a smile: "I heard it was really lively here just now, but I wonder what you were doing just now?"
Just now Mr. Luo said "Mrs. Rong", and all the girls present naturally knew Bai Jingrong's identity.
No one answered for a while. In the education they received, Bai Jingrong was the most typical negative case, and of course Princess Mu was no less generous.
Naturally, they were unwilling to talk to Bai Jingrong.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "It's nothing, we are all acquaintances and chat casually. Mrs. Rong, please."
Bai Jingrong looked at Luo Junyao with interest, "Will Princess Chu accompany me?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Of course."
"Shake." Qin Ning quickly took Luo Junyao's hand. This Bai Jingrong was not a good person.
Luo Junyao gently squeezed her palm and said with a smile, "I'll drink tea with Mrs. Rong and the concubine for a while, and you can continue to play."
"..." You are a person who always adds extra sugar when drinking flower and fruit tea. What kind of tea should you drink with others?
Mrs. Ruan led the group of them into a small building on the east side of the garden. This place and the theater were at opposite corners of the garden. Although they could still hear the sounds of percussion and gongs and drums, it was a little quieter.
The group of people climbed to the second floor, where someone had already prepared various fresh fruit refreshments.
Mrs. Ruan waved the girls to leave. Only Luo Junyao, Bai Jingrong, Princess Mu, Princess Mu'an, the Ruan family and her daughter were left upstairs. The small upstairs seemed much more spacious.
"Everyone, please take a seat." It's probably because Bai Jingrong has been so demonized in recent years that even the Prime Minister's wife felt quite pressured to entertain her, not to mention that there was Princess Mu who never went out to socialize.
Mrs. Ruan is not yet forty this year, and she has been raised in a boudoir for the past ten years. Those things at that time were only heard from others later, so her understanding of Bai Jingrong and Princess Mu is actually no better than that of Luo Junyao and other juniors.
Princess Mu walked aside and sat down silently, but Bai Jingrong strolled to the window of the small building, looked at the girls playing and joking not far downstairs, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "After so many years of separation, I never thought that this life would be like this
I will come back again. Seeing these lively girls makes me really feel old."
Luo Junyao sat aside, listening leisurely to her expressions of emotion, drinking tea and not answering.
Bai Jingrong didn't feel embarrassed, turned around and asked with a smile: "Princess Chu, do you think so?"
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "I am only sixteen years old. Mrs. Rong should not ask me this question."
Bai Jingrong was not angry either. He walked over to Luo Junyao and sat down. He looked at her leisurely and sighed: "Yes, sixteen...what a good age. When I was sixteen..."
Before she could finish speaking, Princess Mu next to her suddenly spoke calmly: "When you were sixteen years old, didn't you help your brother to cause harm to people in Yanzhou?"
Bai Jingrong raised her head and looked at Princess Mu, smiled and said: "I am always a petty person, but... I have to remember even the smallest things for so many years. It seems that Miss Yao is not as pure and kind as the legend."
Princess Mu snorted softly and lowered her eyes to drink tea from the tea cup, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Bai Jingrong.
Bai Jingrong looked at Princess Mu with great interest, and sighed after a while: "Although you are not as good as me in every way, you are really better than me in having children. If I had a child like the regent, how could I...
At first it was said that Miss Yao was born rich and had one of the best fortunes, but now it seems that it is not false."
How can a stunningly beautiful woman endure another beautiful woman saying that she is not as good as her in everything?
Princess Mu said coldly: "Bai Jingrong, you dare to even think about me, don't you think you are worthy?"
Bai Jingrong smiled even more heartily, "Yours? Why don't you ask the Regent if he still wants to recognize you? Don't be angry when I say this. The Regent is a talented person. Having you as a mother has been unlucky for eight lifetimes.
If he were my son, I could not wait to grab all the best things in the world for him."
"So, the ninth prince of the Qi tribe is not your son?" Princess Mu rarely showed a hint of sarcasm on her face.
Luo Junyao blinked, it seemed that Princess Mu's fighting ability was not as weak as she imagined.
That is, is it appropriate for you two to come to Ruan's house to have a quarrel when you have nothing to do? Didn't you see Mrs. Ruan looking like she was sitting on pins and needles?
Although Mrs. Ruan still had a dignified smile on her face at this time, she was secretly complaining in her heart.
These two people came suddenly and uninvited, and they can't kick people out if they come. But what kind of trouble do you two come here to talk about? Is this what they can listen to?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Bai Jingrong didn't know whether someone poked her in the pain or something, but the smile on her face faded by nine points. She snorted and said lightly: "Yao Yun
, you are still so annoying. If you weren't lucky and protected by someone, you would have died hundreds of times."
Princess Mu's face changed slightly and she glared at Bai Jingrong fiercely but did not choke back.
Luo Junyao looked at it thoughtfully.
Princess Mu seems to be really afraid of Bai Jingrong, which is interesting.
Luo Junyao raised his eyes and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law never likes to go out. I haven't even been to the Regent's Palace since I came here. Why do you think of congratulating Mr. Ruan on his birthday today?"
She was asking Princess Mu, but she looked at Princess Mu'an.
Princess Mu'an County glanced at everyone present and said softly: "Earlier...Mrs. Rong came to the house to visit the father and the concubine, and then the concubine said that she would come with Mrs. Rong to congratulate Mr. Ruan on his birthday."
She didn't know what Bai Jingrong said to Princess Mu to persuade her to go out.
Princess Mu lowered her eyes to avoid Luo Junyao's eyes and said, "I haven't been out for a long time, so I just came out for a walk."
It was also the first time for Princess Mu to see this daughter-in-law, but she was a little afraid of her for some reason.
Although Luo Junyao is exquisite and beautiful, like a fairy child beside an immortal, Princess Mu feels that she has an aura that makes her afraid. This feeling is very similar to when facing Xie Yan. Princess Mu does not know that this is because
It was because she always stayed with Xie Yan.
She felt that Luo Junyao was more dangerous than Xie Yan, so she did not want to conflict with her daughter-in-law.
Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly and looked at Bai Jingrong with a smile.
Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Princess Mu and I were old acquaintances back then. It's rare for us to come back to visit old friends."
Isn't this an old acquaintance? Bai Jingrong almost became Princess Mu's sister-in-law back then.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I see, then I wish Mrs. Rong and Mother and Concubine a happy reunion and a happy chat?"
Bai Jingrong nodded and smiled: "Thank you very much."
The atmosphere in the small building was really uncomfortable. Princess Mu didn't like to talk and just sat drinking tea. Princess Mu An, mother and daughter of the Ruan family couldn't get in the conversation, so Luo Junyao and Bai Jingrong could only chat awkwardly throughout the whole process.
But for people like Bai Jingrong, who speaks impeccably and wants to get something out of her mouth, unless she herself is willing to tell you.
Just when Luo Junyao felt bored and was about to run away, there was some noise coming from downstairs.
Luo Junyao listened and said, "Let her come up."
It's Ling Lan.
After a while, Ling Linglan came upstairs with a bang, looked at everyone at the door, walked quickly to Luo Junyao, and whispered: "Princess, Yao'er has started a fight with someone."
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows slightly, "In a fight? Who can she beat?" Qin Yaoer's skills are really not that good. It is said that good Qinggong is a result of hard training for escaping.
Ling Lan glanced at Bai Jingrong and said, "Poisonous scorpion."
Bai Jingrong naturally heard her words and looked over.
Luo Junyao was not in a hurry and asked leisurely: "Can you survive the fight? Do you want help?"
Linglan was speechless, and Bai Jingrong said curiously: "The princess didn't even ask why the fight started?"
Luo Junyao said matter-of-factly: "This is Shangyong. Who is right and who is wrong is a matter for later. If she loses now, won't she lose the face of the princess and the regent's palace?"
Bai Jingrong was also startled for a moment by her self-righteous nonsense, but soon came to her senses and smiled and said: "Is the princess threatening me?" Luo Junyao was warning her not to go too far since they were outsiders?
Bai Jingrong became even more interested in this little girl. Would a person like Xie Yan actually like a little girl with such a personality?
Luo Junyao said: "Mrs. Rong's words are strange. When did I threaten you? I mean, if she loses the fight, I will chop her up when I go back."
"I didn't know that the princess cared so much about winning or losing? The regent seemed to have lost earlier, but I didn't realize that the princess cared so much?" Bai Jingrong said with a smile.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Did Mr. Qu accompany his wife to Ruan's house today?"
Bai Jingrong narrowed her eyes slightly and said: "Mr. Qu is my friend, how can I let him follow me all the time to do some guard work? I heard from Musa that the Yao'er girl is very good at poisoning, so she must be from a famous family? Princess, don't worry.
"
Luo Junyao said nonchalantly: "Who knows? Let Madam sit down for a moment and I'll go take a look."
Bai Jingrong was about to say something when she saw Luo Junyao had already swept out of the window in a flash.
Ling Lan quickly followed her and jumped down from the window.
"..." Several people in the small building were speechless for a moment, and Mrs. Ruan couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. She regretted bringing these people here just now. She should have led them directly to the theater just now.
, there are so many people over there who can avoid these verbal exchanges and the difficulties at this time.
Bai Jingrong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said: "The young girl is really lively and has a quick temper. With her skills... she is indeed the beloved daughter of General Luo."
Mrs. Ruan smiled dryly and responded twice, but Bai Jingrong had already set his eyes on Ruan Yueli, who was sitting next to Mrs. Ruan, and said sweetly: "Is this the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Ruan and Mrs. Ruan?"
Mrs. Ruan nodded and said, "Yes, this is my little daughter Yue Li."
Bai Jingrong looked at Ruan Yueli carefully for a long time, nodded and said with a smile: "Very good. I heard that Miss Ruan is outstanding in academics and has such a beautiful face. Madam is so lucky."
Mrs. Ruan felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she could only say: "Madam, you are so complimentary."
On the other side, Luo Jun walked out of the small building and walked to a remote place before stopping. She glanced around and called out: "Leng Shuang."
When Ling Lan caught up with her, she saw a beautiful woman with obvious foreign blood already standing in front of her princess.
Ling Lan gave her a wary look and said nothing. Luo Junyao waved his hand towards her and said, "It's okay, I'm one of my own."
Leng Shuang glanced at Ling Lan, and then quickly turned her eyes back to Luo Junyao, "Princess, what are your orders?"
Luo Junyao asked: "Why did Bai Jingrong and Princess Mu come to the Ruan family together?"
Leng Shuang said: "Bai Jingrong went to Prince Mu's Mansion before coming to Ruan's house, and then Princess Mu went out with her."
"What did they say?" Luo Junyao asked as he walked out.
Leng Shuang said: "The relationship between these two people should not be very good. They are all sarcastic and sarcastic. No matter how private the words are, people around you will not be able to hear them. This subordinate has already reported this matter to the prince, and the prince said not to pay attention to it."
Xie Yan said don't pay attention, it means it's nothing serious.
Luo Jun shook his head, lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking: "Is the ninth prince of the Qi tribe here today?"
Leng Shuang said: "He came, but he didn't come with Bai Jingrong. This ninth prince... doesn't have a good relationship with Bai Jingrong. In the past few days since Bai Jingrong came to Shangyong, the two of them have only met twice."
Luo Junyao said: "Bai Jingrong threw his son out as a hostage, it's strange that the relationship can be good." After thinking for a while, he said: "You guys think of a way to attract Ji Rong and Bai Jingrong to meet."
Leng Shuang was stunned, "What do you think, Princess?"
Luo Junyao said: "I didn't think about it. Bai Jingrong cares so much about Ayan and Princess Mu, how can he turn a blind eye to his own son? Remember, you have to watch them carefully in public."
Leng Shuang accepted the offer and saw that Luo Junyao had nothing to do, so he retreated.
Watching Leng Shuang disappear behind the flower garden, Luo Junyao turned back and asked, "Where is Yao'er? How did you meet Poisonous Scorpion?"
Ling Lan said: "At the edge of the bamboo forest in the backyard, it was Musa who took the initiative to cause trouble for Yao'er."
Luo Jun shook his eyebrows and frowned, "Go over and have a look."
Beside the bamboo forest in the back garden of the Ruan family, Qin Yao'er and Musa both stared at each other with gloomy expressions.
Behind Qin Yao'er, Feng Jian frowned and looked worriedly at Qin Yao'er's petite figure, which was less than Musa's chest.
"Who are you?" Moussa asked coldly.
There are many strange red spots on his neck. At a glance, people will think that he has some strange disease and they can't avoid it. But Fengjian, who is standing opposite, knows that just a moment ago, this man had no red spots on his neck.
These are red spots.
Qin Yao'er raised her chin slightly proudly and said with a smile: "Guess, if you guess it right, I'll give you the antidote."
Musa snorted softly and said: "It's a small thing, you think I'm afraid of you?"
Qin Yao'er shook a silver bell in her hand and said with a smile: "I don't care if you are afraid or not. I am younger and more powerful than you. Sooner or later I will kill you!" She said she would kill you, but her tone and expression were not the slightest.
The murderous intention seemed to be a joke.
Musa's eyes were fixed on the bell in his hand, and he said sternly: "Give me what you have in your hand!"
As if provoking, Qin Yaoer shook it at him a few more times before putting it away, "Want it? Come and grab it if you have the ability."
Musa was not polite and pounced on her.
Qin Yaoer's figure flashed and floated out like a dead leaf in the wind, "Sister Fengjian, stay away, be careful of getting hurt."
Fengjian silently withdrew from Laoyuan.
The fight between these two people was different from others. Previously, the prince had a fight with others in the mansion, and the martial arts arena was left in a mess.
These two people did not have such great destructive ability, but where they fought, the flowers and plants either died instantly or were directly turned into charcoal. Even the bamboos next to them were mottled, and the green bamboo leaves withered one after another.
When Luo Jun came over, he saw Feng Jian staring blankly at a stone next to him. There was a dark hole in the stone.
Not far away, the two men were still fighting fiercely.
Luo Junyao could tell after just two glances that these two were weaklings. It was better to say they were fighting than to compete in Qinggong.
Is it possible that the people who use poison are not good at it?
"Princess, be careful!" Fengjian quickly pulled her away, glanced at the two people not far away, swallowed before saying: "It's poisonous, this is... they did it just now."
It's not just some stuff, just a little bit of it splashed onto the stone, and a hole was burned out of the stone.
Luo Junyao looked at it and didn't care much.
She does know something about something with such strong corrosive power.
but……
"Aren't they afraid of accidentally getting it on themselves?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
"I won't do it to myself!" When Qin Yao'er saw Luo Junyao's figure, he immediately abandoned Musa who was fighting and ran towards Luo Junyao.
"Princess! I won!" Qin Yao'er said happily.
Behind him, Musa sneered: "Why do you say you won?"
Qin Yao'er said: "I have cured your poison, but you haven't cured mine yet. Don't I win?"
Luo Junyao glanced at the strange red spots on Musa's neck, raised his hand and patted her shoulder and said: "Well done. Today is the birthday banquet of Prime Minister Ruan. Stop making trouble and let's go."
Qin Yao'er felt happy that she had won against Musa, and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, Princess!"
The three of them turned to leave, but Musa behind them refused to give up.
Musa said coldly: "Stop and hand over the Tianluo Bell!"
Qin Yao'er stopped and did not look back. Luo Junyao and Feng Jian, who were standing beside her, saw that young face suddenly turned cold and gloomy.
