Chapter two hundred and ninety-six: mother-in-law and daughter-in-law meet (2)
"Sister Royal."
After glancing at Mi Jiang, who deliberately avoided his gaze, Zhao Hongrun took the initiative to step forward and say hello to Princess Yulong.
"Hongrun?"
Perhaps because she saw Zhao Hongrun waiting near the gate of the mansion, Princess Yulong felt a little confused, walked up to her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Hongrun couldn't say that Concubine Shen Shu planned to ask Miss Su some embarrassing questions in private, so she sent him here and said with nice words: "Didn't I know that the imperial sister was coming and made a special trip here to greet her?"
"Yeah." Princess Yulong deliberately pretended to be old-fashioned and patted Zhao Hongrun on the shoulder, but before she could say anything to praise Zhao Hongrun, she was amused by herself and laughed.
non-stop.
Looking at the smile on her face, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Once upon a time, this imperial sister sat alone on the stone beside the pool on the night of Dragon Boat Festival last year, staring at the dark pool in a daze. Her lonely look at that time really made Zhao Hongrun feel a little distressed.
However, recently, the imperial sister has become more and more cheerful, and she looks more energetic and energetic. This may be related to the fact that Emperor Wei no longer cares about her as promised.
Looking at the smile on her face, Zhao Hongrun was finally able to explain to himself: he had protected this smile after all.
The only thing that made Zhao Hongrun feel a little uncomfortable was that Princess Yulong had been hanging out with that stupid girl Mi Rui recently, which made him a little worried.
As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. He did not want Princess Yulong, who was once smart and gentle, to be infected with the latter's stupidity because she stayed with Mi Rui for a long time.
While Zhao Hongrun was praying secretly, he saw Princess Yulong dressed in men's clothing standing in front of the door of Prince Su's Mansion, shouting with joy.
"If I move out of the palace, I will be free!"
…
Zhao Hongrun slapped his forehead wordlessly, and at the same time glared at Mi Rui hatefully. Unfortunately, Mi Rui looked blank and didn't understand why Zhao Hongrun glared at her inexplicably.
"Is this your husband's Prince Su's Mansion?"
Among the girls, the most well-behaved Yang Tongue Xing Deng walked up to Zhao Hongrun and gently tugged on the latter's sleeves with her little hands: "So beautiful."
Calling the mansion beautiful...isn't it right?
Zhao Hongrun glanced down and felt that he had to talk to this little girl about something.
After all, things were fine in the past, but now Concubine Shen Shu and Miss Su are both in the house. If this little girl continues to call her husband without restraint, it will be a real disaster.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun called Yang Yanxing aside and whispered: "Remember not to call me husband again later, remember?"
"Why?" Yang Yanxing's face was full of confusion. Immediately, she seemed to have thought of something, and whispered as if she was about to cry: "Your Highness, you don't want to be a slave anymore?"
"Of course not." Zhao Hongrun quickly touched her head and coaxed with a smile: "You are so obedient, why don't I want you?"
Hearing Zhao Hongrun praise herself, the innocent Yang Toixing burst into laughter, but she was still a little puzzled: "Then why are you not allowed to call your highness your husband?"
Before Zhao Hongrun could explain, Mi Jiang walked past them and said expressionlessly: "Because his real woman is at home."
"Eh?" Yang Yanxing's little face was startled, and he quickly volunteered and said: "Slave... I am also His Highness's woman..."
That guy...
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glared at Mi Jiang who was walking towards the door of the house bitterly, and finally managed to coax Yang Shixing.
After entering the gate of Prince Su's Mansion, Zhao Hongrun asked Zongwei Shen Yu to lead the way, while he deliberately walked behind.
During this period, when Princess Yulong, Mi Rui, and Yang Yanxing were fascinated by the scenery in Prince Su's palace and had no time to look behind them, he grabbed Mi Jiang's arm and lowered his voice and said: "What's going on with you? "
Being held by Zhao Hongrun's arm, Mi Jiang's face was slightly embarrassed and she lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing?"
She struggled a few times, but somehow she couldn't break free. Maybe she was afraid of hurting Zhao Hongrun, so she didn't use too much force.
In fact, Zhao Hongrun was not angry because of the little thing just now. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Mi Jiang, but it is not difficult to guess from Mi Jiang's attitude that she did not want to talk to him.
"How long are you going to hold my hand?" she said lightly.
"..." Zhao Hongrun frowned and had to let go of her hand, but before she left, he whispered to her: "I want to talk to you later."
"..." Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun inexplicably, without saying anything, and walked straight towards Princess Yulong and the others.
When everyone arrived at Cuixiao Garden in the palace, Concubine Shen Shu seemed to have just finished some shameful topics with Miss Su. No, the blush on Miss Su's face was still there, and her shameful appearance was really alluring.
"Empress Shu Fei."
Princess Yulong was the first to step forward to meet Concubine Shen Shu. Soon she realized that Concubine Wu Gui next to Concubine Shen Shu looked familiar. She took a closer look and said in surprise: "Concubine Wu Gui is also here."
This is...Princess Yulong?
Wu Guibi stared blankly at Wu Guibi, who was dressed in men's clothing. It took a while before she remembered the other person's identity.
It's no wonder, after all, Princess Yulong was not taken seriously in the palace in the past, so it's not surprising that Concubine Wu Gui couldn't remember her for a while.
Concubine Shen Shu, on the other hand, was quite close to Princess Yulong. She called her to her side and frowned, accusing her: "How can my daughter wear men's clothes again?"
Princess Yulong stuck out her tongue when she heard this and explained: "I was at the market outside the palace just now. I heard that Concubine Shu had summoned me, so I rushed here without having time to change my clothes."
She actually doesn't like to wear men's clothes, it's just that she disguises herself as a man so that she can roam freely outside the palace.
"How many times have I told you, just call me aunt." Concubine Shen Shu lovingly touched Princess Yulong's head.
Not to mention, when Zhao Hongrun led his army on an expedition, Concubine Shen Shu took care of Princess Yulong who lived in his son Zhao Hongrun's Wenzhao Pavilion at that time. The relationship between the two was quite close.
At this time, Concubine Shen Shu's eyes fell on the three Chu women, Mi Jiang, Mi Rui and Yang Yan Xing.
In fact, Concubine Shen Shu had already known about this matter since the three girls came to live in Wenzhao Pavilion, but she didn't have much chance to see the three girls her son brought back from Chu State with her own eyes. She didn't see it with her own eyes until today.
Perhaps noticing the way Concubine Shen Shu looked at Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, and Yang Ton Xing, Princess Yulong quickly introduced them on her behalf: "Auntie, they are Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, and Yang Ton Xing."
"Gui'an." Mi Jiang lowered his head and saluted upon hearing this. Although the expressionless expression on her face made Concubine Shen Shu feel a little strange, her appearance and behavior made Concubine Shen know at a glance that this woman was definitely not an ordinary Chu national girl.
"Hello, Concubine Shu." In contrast, the silly Mi Rui could not behave as well as her sister, but her silly smile made Concubine Shen Shu have a good impression of her.
Only Yang Yanxing seemed particularly cautious and timidly bowed to Concubine Shen Shu: "I am Yang Yan's Xing'er. If...if Concubine Shu doesn't dislike it..."
Looking at her pitiful look, Concubine Shen Shu couldn't stop laughing. She nodded and helped her out: "Well, I'll call you Xing'er, okay?"
"Yeah!" The little girl nodded vigorously, labeling Concubine Shen Shu as a good person in her heart.
When Princess Yulong introduced Mi Jiang, Mi Rui, and Yang Yan Xing, Miss Su was listening quietly. When Princess Yulong introduced Mi Jiang, she couldn't help but be startled.
Isn't this... this Runlang's cousin? Why doesn't Runlang's mother seem to recognize her?
She looked at Zhao Hongrun doubtfully, with some confusion in her eyes.
Suddenly, a thought occurred in her mind: Could it be...
Involuntarily, Miss Su looked at Mi Jiang with a hint of hostility and perseverance in her eyes.
Huh?
Witches are most sensitive to other people's hostility. Mi Jiang immediately noticed it and turned to look at Miss Su.
Did she mistakenly think that I was protesting to her, or that I was specifically there to tease her?
Mi Jiang, who was thoughtful, knew immediately that Miss Su had probably misunderstood, so he nodded kindly towards her and said hello.
This made Miss Su even more confused. Although she didn't understand what this woman meant, the hostility in her heart subsided.
Are they... related to Runlang?
Miss Su secretly looked at Mi Jiang, Mi Rui and the three girls Yang Yan Xing.
She had no misunderstanding about Princess Yulong. Although she had never met Princess Yulong, Princess Yulong kept calling Zhao Hongrun's mother her aunt, so she didn't need to guess to know that this was Ailang's real sister.
While Miss Su was secretly sizing up Mi Jiang and the others, in addition to Mi Jiang, who had already seen Miss Su, Mi Rui and Yang Yan Xing also tilted their heads and looked at this woman who appeared out of nowhere from time to time.
.
There is inevitably a bit of hostility in the eyes of the two little girls. After all, these two little girls, one wants to bring her sister into good relations with Zhao Hongrun, and the other is a woman who claims to be His Royal Highness Prince Su. How could they not hold a favorable view of Miss Su?
hostility.
Concubine Shen Shu, on the other hand, looked at this and that, with an inexplicable smile on her face.
Compared to Miss Su, Concubine Shen Shu was actually more curious about the daughter's family named Mi Jiang. After all, as far as she knew, this girl was the daughter of Xiong Hao, Lord of Runan of Chu State, and the cousin of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng. She had quite a lot of background.
, to put it into perspective, it is equivalent to the origin of a princess.
It seems that such a woman appeared beside her son out of nowhere. Concubine Shen Shu would not believe her son's flawless statement that he was entrusted by a friend to take care of the sisters on his behalf.
However, she did not guess the true relationship between Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang, and simply regarded this person as her son's confidante.
One Mi Jiang, one Miss Su...
If it weren't for the presence of the other girls, Concubine Shen Shu would have really wanted to hold her son's ears and scold her: How could he be so affectionate at such a young age in the future?
but……
Concubine Shen Shu's eyes became softer when she looked at Mi Jiang. After all, Mi Jiang was not inferior to Miss Su in appearance or behavior. More importantly, she was younger than Miss Su and had a much better background.
The only thing worth worrying about was the cold expression on this woman's face, which made Concubine Shen Shu feel a little unsure.
"Run'er, what is your relationship with that Mi Jiang?"
Calling Zhao Hongrun to her side, Concubine Shen Shu asked in a low voice.
"this……"
Zhao Hongrun looked back at Mi Jiang, who was already sitting in the seat, with a rare hesitation.
He really can't tell what relationship he has with Mi Jiang. (To be continued.)
