Jiang Ru waited for a long time, and finally got her to perform her talent. She suppressed her joy and got up, asking Sannu to take off her cloak.
Sannu was also exposed in front of people at this time. When everyone saw her appearance, they couldn't help but exclaimed. Looking at her and then looking at the eldest princess in the seat, they were indeed somewhat similar.
It's hard not to think too much about this, and even Zhao Jing was a little confused.
He had also heard the rumors in the capital, but Zhao Jing and the eldest princess both thought it was Jiang Ru's trick, but they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the real person.
He turned to look at the eldest princess, and saw that the eldest princess had a calm look on her face. There was no wave of emotion on her face, and she didn't seem to be curious at all.
Thinking about it, over the years, the eldest princess has seen many women who are similar to her.
But those are not Rong Ning, so what if they are just similar?
"aunt.……"
"Your Majesty's cousin, mother, Ru'er will show off to you today and perform a dance in colorful clothes and feathers. Please let your maid, Sannu, help you with the accompaniment."
Sannu was raised as an oiran since she was a child. She is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is no worse than the noble girls in the capital.
Jiang Ru asked her to accompany her not only to show her face in front of the emperor and the two emperors, but also to show her ability. The talent show was just an idea that came to the eldest princess. There was no piano player in the garden, so Jiang Ru could only let Sannu
Accompany yourself.
"That's right."
Neither Zhao Jing nor the eldest princess had any objections. Jiang Ru looked at the two of them staring at San Nu, with a smile of success flashing in her eyes.
The performance stage was not big, and Jiang Ru's dancing took up a large area. Sangnu could only sit in the corner and play the piano, but she was sitting with her back to the eldest princess.
There was a distance of several meters between the two of them, and the eldest princess could see her slender hands playing the piano, the thin white wrists exposed during her movements, and the red butterfly birthmark on them.
The eldest princess straightened up suddenly, her eyes fixed on her wrist, and her lips trembled with excitement.
"Rong Ning..."
"Aunt, what did you say?"
Zhao Jing saw that the eldest princess suddenly looked excited and muttered words, and his face was full of doubts.
"Rong Ning, she is Rong Ning!"
It would have been fine if they were just similar in appearance, but the butterfly birthmark on Sannu's wrist made the eldest princess suspicious. It looked so much like her Rong Ning that it was hard for the eldest princess not to be excited.
Zhao Jing was very excited when he heard her words. If Rong Ning could really be found, the princess' illness would be cured and the guilt in his heart would be reduced.
But could this maid really be Rong Ning?
If she were Rong Ning, how could she not recognize the eldest princess? Moreover, her temperament was very different from Rong Ning's, and she was brought here by Jiang Ru. All of this was too coincidental, and Zhao Jing did not get distracted no matter how excited she was.
The eldest princess looked at her with eager eyes. Sannu noticed the sight behind her and felt a little panicked. The rhythm of playing the piano in her hand was messed up. The taut strings broke and cut her finger. The bright red blood soon seeped out.
come out.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Sannu and Jiang Ru both cried out. One had a broken finger, and the other was dancing vigorously. Suddenly, the sound of the piano stopped, and Jiang Ru accidentally sprained her foot and fell to the ground in a panic.
When the eldest princess saw Sannu's injured hand, a flash of distress flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly ordered Aunt Qi beside her.
"Quickly ask the imperial doctor to bandage this young lady Rong!"
"yes!"
Grandma Qi glanced at Sannu and knew why her master was so excited. Although the eldest princess had seen many young ladies similar to her in the past, she had never seen a young lady with a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her wrist.
Sannu raised his eyes tremblingly, and first took a careful look at Jiang Ru. The eldest princess only called the doctor for her and did not care about her master. If Jiang Ru got angry and beat her, Sannu would be scared just thinking about it.
But she thought wrong this time. Although Jiang Ru was jealous, she was even happier that Sannu fell into the eyes of the eldest princess.
Judging from the panic on the eldest princess's face, she must have seen the birthmark on Sannu's wrist and believed she was Rong Ning. This was enough to make Jiang Ru happy.
Seeing that his master was not angry, Sannu stepped forward to salute the eldest princess and thank him.
"Princess Sannu thanked you for your compassion for me."
"Come forward and let me see..." the eldest princess said, taking Sannu's wrist, her face was startled and her expression was a little stiff.
Not her...
The light in the eldest princess's eyes gradually went out.
Although there was a butterfly-shaped birthmark on Rong Ning's wrist, the butterfly was a butterfly with half of its wings broken off. It was only when Sannu got closer that she saw clearly that the butterfly shape on her wrist was intact.
Moreover, Rong Ning's voice is not so pretentious, and Rong Ning has been well-behaved since elementary school. Although his temper is a bit arrogant, his actions are generous and clear.
Although Rong Ning was lost since he was a child, these things are engraved in his bones, how could he change them at will?
This maid has a little family spirit in her bones, not to mention her charming eyes. Apart from her similar appearance, she is completely different from Rong Ning.
"No, just get up."
Although the eldest princess could see that she was not Rong Ning, she couldn't help but feel soft when she saw Sannu's appearance, and she also wanted to see what tricks Jiang Ru was up to.
He brought a young lady who looked similar to him to his side and even faked a butterfly birthmark. This looked like a conspiracy no matter how he looked at it.
And since Jiang Ru knows about the butterfly birthmark, does she also know about Rong Ning’s whereabouts?
She suppressed her doubts and seemed to have to think of a way to ask her.
Jiang Ru hadn't noticed that the eldest princess was already suspicious. She took Sannu's hand and said coquettishly.
"Mother, it's Ru'er who sprained her foot. We can only dance this dance for you and the emperor's cousin after Ru'er's foot is healed."
With several people getting closer, the eldest princess and Zhao Jing could see Sannu's appearance more clearly. Even though they knew she was not Rong Ning, the eldest princess couldn't help but feel excited.
"Um."
She reluctantly moved her eyes and nodded to Jiang Ru. As for her saying that she wanted to dance in the future, she didn't take it to heart at all.
"Mother likes Sannu?"
Jiang Ru looked at the eldest princess' eyes and asked knowingly.
"She plays the piano well."
"Thank you, Princess Chang, for your love..."
Sannu was flattered. The eldest princess didn't praise anyone today, but she praised her for playing the piano well. Sannu's heart was agitated, and she felt hot when she looked at the woman with similar facial features to her.
Could it be that I had thought wrong before? Didn't Jiang Ru ask her to be the master's concubine? Her real noble is the eldest princess?
Sannu couldn't calm down for a long time. She was so distracted that she didn't even hear Jiang Ru want to give her to the eldest princess.
"If mother likes Sannu, why not let her serve you, or just keep her by your side and play the harp on weekdays."
The corners of the eldest princess's lips curled up, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
"Need not."
It turns out that Jiang Ru had this idea and wanted to place Sannu next to her, but I don’t know what her purpose was.
"Mother?"
Jiang Ru didn't expect that the eldest princess would refuse, and her plan would come to nothing. She forced a smile and found a step for herself.
"Then if mother wants to hear Sannu play the piano, Ruer will take her to the eldest princess to accompany you."
"Um."
This time the eldest princess did not refuse. She also wanted to see if Jiang Ru really knew Rong Ning's whereabouts and what she wanted to do.
Jiang Ru forced herself to smile until the end of the banquet. This time her plan was half implemented. The eldest princess recognized Sang Nu, but she was extremely wary.
To make her believe that Sannu is Rong Ning, she has to slowly please her, but there are also good aspects. The eldest princess does not exclude her from going to the princess mansion, and Jiang Ru feels a little better.
On the other side, Zhao Jing was still thinking about Xu Zilan's weirdness. When the banquet was over, he whispered to Eunuch Jixiang.
"Call the Xu family's wife quietly, don't let anyone discover you."
