Finally, Zhao Hongrun took both bowls of rice and placed them in front of him.
At this moment, she looked at Concubine Shen Shu, who was sitting opposite, with her lips slightly open and a look of astonishment on her face. Having lived in the palace for a long time, she could see the signs of disharmony between Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang at a glance.
But she can understand it to some extent. After all, Yingying and Mi Jiang are both daughters of the royal family. How can they really be willing to give up "Princess Su" to them? After all, this title represents the "major wife" and who is the right one.
The lady of Prince Su's Mansion.
More importantly, the "maternal wife" also directly affects the "legiary" and "concubine" classification of the children the two daughters will give birth to in the future - only the son born to the main wife is the legitimate son and is qualified to inherit the family business.
Once he is born, he will be raised as an heir, and the son of a concubine is just a concubine, and it is almost impossible to shake the status of a legitimate son.
Thinking about it, even for the sake of their future sons, Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang would never back down at this time.
"What should I do?"
Looking at Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang who were silent, Concubine Shen Shu also felt a little headache.
If Concubine Shen Shu was a strong mother-in-law, I'm afraid she would have to beat her two daughters-in-law right now, but unfortunately, Concubine Shen has never been a woman with a strong personality.
Therefore, she could only change the topic to offset the awkward atmosphere in the hall as much as possible.
"Eat vegetables, eat more vegetables...try this vinegar-roasted pork, and these pine ears..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shaojun's eyes rolled slightly, he picked up a piece of vinegar-based pork and put it in the bowl in front of Zhao Hongrun. Then he picked up another piece and put it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he praised: "This vinegar-based pork is really delicious."
.”
At the same time, Mi Jiang also picked up a piece of pine ear with chopsticks, put it in another bowl in front of Zhao Hongrun, and said expressionlessly: "Eating more vegetarian dishes can prolong your life."
Qin Shaojun: "..."
Mi Jiang: "..."
After looking at each other, the two women seemed to be competing, vying to put a piece of every dish on the table into the two bowls in front of Zhao Hongrun.
Looking at the dishes stacked higher and higher in the bowl, Zhao Hongrun had no appetite at all.
At this moment, he extremely regretted that he had been escaped by his younger brother Zhao Hongxuan. If he had known that this meal was so dangerous, he would have tied Zhao Hongxuan here even with a rope - what a good shield!
Seeing Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang competing there, and looking at Zhao Hongrun's expression as if he was hopeless, the three girls Su, Yang Yanxing, and Wu Na couldn't help but laugh, and they tried hard not to laugh out loud.
Even Concubine Shen Shu felt dumbfounded when she saw Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang's childish behavior.
After a while, she couldn't help but break the deadlock and took the initiative to warm up the awkward atmosphere in the hall: "A-ying, A-jan, speaking of which of you two met Hongrun first?"
"It's me." Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang said in unison, and then looked at each other.
"Sister Mi, Ji Run and I have known each other for six or seven years..." Qin Shaojun said in a calm tone.
Mi Jiang glanced at Qin Shaojun and said expressionlessly: "I know, during the "Chenggao Hehunting" six or seven years ago, right?...I saw you at that time."
"..."
Qin Shaojun was slightly startled, really surprised.
Subconsciously, she turned to look at Zhao Hongrun, as if she wanted to get verification from the latter.
Zhao Hongrun, who became a daughter again, sighed secretly, nodded and said truthfully: "Ran'er is the first, Xing'er is the second, Mi Jiang is the third, Oona is the fourth... you are the last."
Hearing this, Qin Shaojun couldn't believe it. She, who had known Zhao Hongrun for six or seven years, was actually the last one?
Glancing at Mi Jiang, who was still expressionless, Qin Shaojun pursed his lips, seeming to be sulking.
Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down again, Miss Su felt sorry for Zhao Hongrun being in a dilemma between the two women. She changed the topic and asked with a smile: "When you first met Winner's sister, Runlang, did you really not see that she was a woman disguised as a man?"
Glancing at Qin Shaojun, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and shook his head, then briefly told the story of how he and Qin Shaojun met: "At that time, she called herself Jiang Ying and lied that she was from a "Ginger" tribe on the edge of Sanchuan. How could I know her?
Is it a woman disguised as a man?”
Hearing this, Qin Shaojun couldn't help but recall how she met Zhao Hongrun, and her pretty face turned slightly red.
Because she vaguely remembered that she was unintentionally scorned by Zhao Hongrun.
"Heshou." At this time, Oona seemed to have remembered something, and couldn't help but interjected: "Arun, is this the time we met?"
"Yes." Zhao Hongrun nodded, turned around and saw that Qin Shaojun seemed a little confused, so he briefly explained, but Qin Shaojun felt quite depressed.
Because the date she met Zhao Hongrun was only two or three days later than the date Zhao Hongrun met Oona.
Of course, Oona was not a threat to her, the only threat was the woman who always had a cold face.
"Ji Run, how did you and Sister Mijiang meet?"
With the intention of knowing himself and the enemy, Qin Shaojun asked curiously.
Hearing this, Concubine Shen Shu and the other three women also pricked up their ears curiously. After all, they had never heard Zhao Hongrun talk about how Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang met.
"Well..." Zhao Hongrun hesitated for a moment, then said in a nonchalant way: "At that time, Mi Jiang rescued me from a very powerful swordsman." As he said, he briefly summarized how he met Mi Jiang at that time.
I mentioned it once, but omitted the incident where Mi Jiang and the Mi Rui sisters held him hostage and even wanted to kill him at one point to eliminate the trouble for Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo.
Also, if Concubine Shen Shu learns that Mi Jiang, the daughter-in-law she favors, once actually wanted to assassinate her son, then not only will Mi Jiang definitely miss the position of "Princess Su", but she will even leave a grudge in Concubine Shen Shu's heart.
This will lead to disharmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, causing many conflicts in the future.
"... Mi Jiang is the cousin of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo, but she saved me from that swordsman, and because I was seriously injured, I later brought her back..."
Although Zhao Hongrun only mentioned a few words briefly, Concubine Shen Shu was still frightened. After all, she had never heard Zhao Hongrun talk about this past event.
Although she was still frightened, she became even more fond of Mi Jiang. After all, Mi Jiang had saved her son and was about to marry her as her daughter-in-law. This was simply a God-given marriage!
She asked nervously: "Seriously injured? Ajaan, where are you injured? Is it important or not? But are there scars?"
Facing Concubine Shen Shu's concerned inquiry, Mi Jiang said calmly: "It's okay, Concubine Shu, it's just a minor skin injury."
"It must be more than just a small superficial injury...you kid."
Concubine Shen Shu sighed lightly.
After all, she had been getting along with Mi Jiang for many years, and knowing Mi Jiang's character, she naturally knew that the latter was a woman who didn't like to talk about anything to the outside world and would only keep it in her heart.
The fact was just as Concubine Shen Shu had guessed, Mi Jiang was indeed very seriously injured at the time, nearly dying of blood loss. If Zhao Hongrun hadn't used some deliberately embarrassing topics to keep him awake, Mi Jiang wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
Looking at Mi Jiang's expressionless face, Concubine Shen Shu had secretly regretted that the child only had this cold expression all day long, and was quite concerned about it. But at this time, she regarded Mi Jiang's expressionless face.
in appearance
It has been promoted to the height of "not shocked by honor or disgrace" and "dignified and grand", and even vaguely had the idea in my heart: of course my son's main wife should be as dignified and grand as Mi Jiang, so that she can be calm inside and outside.
people.
"..."
Noticing Concubine Shen Shu's sudden change of attitude, Qin Shaojun held the chopsticks in his right hand and poked at the rice in the bowl. He pursed his lips and looked at Zhao Hongrun with a disgusted expression. He was obviously eating at the latter who disguised himself as Mi Jiang and said
Good words.
Maybe because he caught a glimpse of Qin Shaojun's appetizing look, Zhao Hongrun also felt a little innocent. After all, this was the truth. Mi Jiang did almost die trying to save him.
At this time, Concubine Shen Shu also noticed Qin Shaojun's loss, so she had to put away her concern for Mi Jiang and thought about it secretly in her heart.
In terms of appearance, Mi Jiang is definitely the most outstanding among Zhao Hongrun's confidante. Her skin as delicate as mutton fat and her beautiful appearance make even Shen Shufei secretly envious and she can't help but praise: She is worthy of being the queen of Chu.
female.
Although Yang Yan Xing, who is also a daughter of Chu Di, is also extremely beautiful, she is not as tall as Mi Jiang. Although Miss Su's appearance is not inferior to that of Mi Jiang and Yang Yan Xing, she is nearly thirty years old after all, and her appearance is beautiful.
One day is not as good as one day.
In terms of beauty, Yingying is inferior to Mijiang. Maybe because she has been pretending to be a man for a long time, she has a slightly yellowish complexion and her facial features are not as refined as Mijiang.
However, Ying Yingsheng is as forthright and courageous as a man. In order to end the war between Qin and Wei, she ran to Daliang with a few guards, neither arrogant nor humble, and asked to see the Emperor of Wei. She stated her interests in the temple and persuaded the court.
Several important ministers, this is not something that ordinary families with daughters can do.
Concubine Shen Shu believed that if Yingying became "Princess Su", she would definitely be able to intimidate people inside and outside. After all, this woman had been pretending to be the crown prince of Qin for more than ten years.
In comparison, Mi Jiang is inferior to Ying Ying in this aspect, and the gap in ability is secondary. The key is that Mi Jiang does nothing at all. When he lived in Prince Su's Mansion in the past, he was like a hermit living here in seclusion.
He neither makes public appearances nor engages in worldly affairs. Apart from practicing sword dancing at home, he just sits quietly with a cup of tea.
At best, it is said that Mi Jiang does not fight for power and profit, but at worst, this woman is just a careless rice bug. If she is allowed to become "Princess Su", it will make no difference whether she has "Princess Su" or not.
.
Looking at Qin Shaojun and then at Mi Jiang, Concubine Shen Shu became more and more confused as she thought about it.
Seeing Concubine Shen Shu's troubled expression, Zhao Hongrun knew that the concubine was also in trouble.
This is no wonder, after all, Concubine Shen Shu is not a person who is good at handling this kind of matter. If she wants to handle this matter properly, she has to consult the person who is best at maneuvering in Zhao Hongrun's impression.
