Chapter 90 Encounter with the Crown Prince in the Star Reaching Tower
The person who greeted Su Nianyun was none other than the eighteenth prince Zhao Chengji.
Zhao Chengji said "Aunt Nian Yun" in a loud voice, as if he was intentionally reminding the people in the box.
Hearing a rustling sound coming from the box, Su Nianyun faintly saw two intertwined shadows quickly separate.
Seeing this scene, she still didn't know anything.
Apart from Prince Zhao Chengzhi, there is no one else who can let the Eighteenth Prince personally guard the gate.
As for that slender figure, I don’t know which woman it is?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Chengzhi slowly walked out from inside.
His collar is a little crooked, and his hair crown is not straight either.
Su Nianyun pretended not to see this, but bowed her head and saluted, "Too..."
"It's great," Zhao Chengzhi said one step ahead of Su Nianyun, "It's great to meet Aunt Nianyun here."
Su Nianyun looked up at him.
Su Nianyun was slightly stunned when she heard the other party calling her aunt.
This prince has always been favored by thousands of people and is extremely proud, but he never calls himself aunt.
Seeing Zhao Chengzhi keep winking at her, Su Nianyun suddenly realized that he had sneaked out of the palace and couldn't reveal his identity at the moment, so she was not allowed to call him "Prince".
In this case, she accepted the cheap nephew who came to her door.
"Two... eldest nephews, I didn't expect to see you two here."
After hearing the title "eldest nephew", Zhao Chengzhi twitched the corners of his lips and showed an unnatural smile.
"I didn't expect to see Aunt Nianyun here... By the way, my uncle died for the country, and I didn't have the chance to express my condolences to my aunt. Wouldn't my aunt blame her nephew?"
"How could it be?" Su Nianyun shook her head affirmatively, "This is impossible."
"You juniors are all busy, how can my aunt know about it? Besides, it's not a big deal!"
After hearing this, both Zhao Chengzhi and Zhao Chengji widened their eyes.
What on earth is this woman talking about?
She said her husband's death was not a big deal?
Could it be that the rumors they heard in the palace before were all false?
Don't they all say that Su Nianyun knelt in front of the Queen Mother and forced her to get this marriage by threatening her with death?
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Zhao Chengzhi said, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite..."
"It's fate that I met my aunt in this Zhaixing Tower. How about my aunt come in and have dinner with us?"
"It still doesn't work," Su Nianyun shook her head, "Today I am taking my clan girls around the capital to gain experience. What's more, I still have filial piety, so I won't disturb everyone's enjoyment."
With that said, Su Nianyun silently backed away, further away from the box.
"Aunt Nianyun is really not with us?" Zhao Chengzhi asked again with raised eyebrows.
"No," Su Nianyun smiled, "I just remembered that there were still things in the house that had not been settled when I went out, so I will stay here soon!"
After saying this, she said goodbye to the two of them and took Su Jiaojiao's hand downstairs.
Su Ming and others hurriedly followed.
Seeing the people who suddenly arrived and left in a hurry, Zhao Chengzhi turned to Zhao Chengji with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"How did you explain the counter and how did you guard the door? Su Nianyun almost saw it!"
"It's my fault. Please tell the counter carefully that I will never ask anyone to come upstairs to disturb the enjoyment of the prince and Miss Nangong!"
Zhao Chengji apologized hastily.
"You'd better be more reliable this time, let people in again, and see how I punish you when I get back!"
After saying that, Zhao Chengzhi turned around and returned to the box.
This time, he whispered softly to the woman in the box, "Did I scare you just now?"
Nangong Xing was still immersed in the intoxicating kiss just now, her cheeks were flushed and she shook her head, looking at him for a moment and then immediately avoiding him.
Seeing her smart and shy appearance, Zhao Chengzhi held her in his arms again and promised.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go to the queen mother and your father to fight again. You are destined to be mine in this life!"
Listening to these domineering and affectionate words, Nangong Xing nodded happily, with a proud light flashing in his eyes.
Finally, she, the little concubine, has waited for the day when she can become the first daughter-in-law!
Zhao Chengji, on the other hand, walked downstairs and handed over the counter again while watching the shadows of Su Nianyun and others walking away.
There was a meaningful flash in his eyes.
This Su Nianyun was quite smart, so she went upstairs, and just by seeing him guarding the door, she keenly discovered the fishiness of the box.
She didn't even want to take another step forward.
Doesn't this person have any curiosity at all?
I originally thought that through her I could spread the news about the prince and Nangong Xing, but it seems that I have to find a way this time!
When did Su Nianyun become so defensive?
Or, when she was in the palace, she let others bully her just to hide her clumsiness?
Su Nianyun walked far away, but still felt like a light on her back.
Seeing that her face looked ugly, Su Jiaojiao asked cautiously, "Ayun, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine." Su Nianyun shook her head and signaled Su Jiaojiao not to worry.
"Ayun, aren't those two nephews of yours? Why do you seem so afraid of them?" Su Jiaojiao was puzzled.
"Alas," Su Nianyun sighed, "I am the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, but they are real princes. Do you think I won't be afraid of them?"
"Ah?" Su Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide, "You said those two just now were princes?"
"Well," Su Nianyun nodded, "One is the prince and the other is the eighteenth prince!"
"Oh my god, I was face to face with the prince just now..." Su Jiaojiao became excited and her voice became louder.
Su Nianyun hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. They left the palace secretly. If outsiders know about it and reported it to the emperor and empress, they will be punished."
"That's it," Su Jiaojiao finally understood, "no wonder the two of them seemed to be afraid that you would call them by their names just now."
"Ayun, according to my observation, there seems to be one person in the box who has not come out?" Su Ming said.
"I noticed it too," Su Nianyun nodded, "That's why I pulled you out in such a hurry."
"Ayun, your prince's nephew is just meeting a woman, why do you hide so far away?" Su Jiaojiao was puzzled.
"Jiaojiao, you don't understand," Su Nianyun said, "the rules in Beijing are different from those in Mobei. Men here are allowed to have three wives and four concubines."
"I've heard about this too. On the way here, I saw a lot of people buying and selling concubines!"
When she mentioned this, Su Jiaojiao became very angry, "These stinky men obviously have wives at home, but they are still not satisfied..."
"Jiaojiao, what's the point of talking so much? You'd better listen to Ayun first." Su Ming interrupted her.
"That's right," Su Jiaojiao looked at Su Nianyun, "I digressed."
"It's not a digression," Su Nianyun said, "Isn't this the case for this prince?"
"He already has two side concubines in the East Palace, and the queen recently pointed out a main concubine to him, but he is still here having a tryst with others..."
"This is the case, then the prince is too dissatisfied!" Su Jiaojiao said angrily.
"I don't know how to say it..."
Recalling the fate of the prince and Nangong Xing in his previous life, Su Nianyun sighed.
"Other women are all powerful, and those with status have to do it. Maybe this one is his true love!"
"Huh?" After hearing this, Su Jiaojiao also sighed, "Oh!"
