After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

Chapter 322: ruby



  Chapter 322 Ruby

   While her thoughts were wandering, Haitang walked in with a post:

   "Girl, Princess Yu sent you a post, and the boy who delivered the letter said that the palace will hold a flower viewing banquet tomorrow, and all the dignified officials and women in Jingzhou will go there."

  Shen Mingjiao took the post, feeling complicated. For more than a month, Shen Mingjiao has been running to Prince Yu's mansion every now and then, in fact, she no longer needs to approach Princess Yu to get news. She just wanted to make Princess Yu happy for a while longer, anyway, it was quite easy for her to chat with the other party.

  The next day, when Shen Mingjiao came to the Flower Hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, there were already many wives in the hall in twos and threes. Judging by their attire, they should all be Jingzhou city officials and some wealthy businessmen's family members.

  Shen Mingjiao naturally didn't know anyone, she didn't intend to stay longer, and came to the backyard skillfully,

  Princess Yu was picking out clothes, when she saw Shen Mingjiao coming in, she hurriedly waved: "Chunni, come here quickly, help me see which dress is suitable?"

  Shen Mingjiao followed her line of sight and saw that the maid beside her was holding two sets of clothes in her hands, one was silver-red embroidered with peonies, and the other was royal-blue embroidered with pine and cranes.

  She pointed at the silver-red dress without hesitation and said with a smile: "Although royal blue is solemn, but today is a flower banquet, why should the princess wear it more festively?"

  Princess Yu obviously valued this one more. She was just about to ask the servant girl to help her put it on, but she hesitated and said, "Will it be too gorgeous? I'm already my age!"

  Shen Mingjiao smiled and waved her hands: "It's not gorgeous at all, the princess's clothes are just right."

  She is telling the truth. Princess Yu loves to laugh, so it is suitable to wear brighter colors.

  Between changing clothes, Princess Yu still didn't forget to chatter: "For some reason, this person likes bright red and green when he is old, like when I was young, I liked the elegant colors of lavender and moon white the most..."

  While speaking, she had already changed her clothes. Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them went to the flower hall hand in hand. On the road, Princess Yu's mouth still kept saying:

   "You don't know, that child Hao'er actually left everyone behind two days ago, carrying a burden and leaving a letter saying that he was going to venture into the rivers and lakes. Why do you think this child is so worried?"

  Shen Mingjiao knew that she was talking about Feng Qihao, the eldest son of Prince Yu's Mansion. She met him by chance when she came to Prince Yu's Mansion a few days ago. He was a young man with a bright smile, very similar to Princess Yu.

  She took a breath and stopped thinking about it. Jing and Emperor might let Princess Yu off, but the chances of letting off Prince Yu's son were very small.

  While speaking, a group of people had already arrived at the flower hall, and Princess Yu had been waiting for a long time before a woman full of emerald jewels came late.

   All the ladies in the hall saw the person coming, their eyes lit up, their eyes were full of flattery, they were even more enthusiastic than when they were facing Princess Yu.

   Mrs. Fan took a step forward and bowed casually to Princess Yu: "My wife is waiting for the master to go out, so I am late. Please also invite Wangfei Haihan."

  Princess Yu snorted: "I can't afford it. Mrs. Fan is really busy with everything. Those who don't know think that Mrs. Fan is waiting for the finale to appear, so that she can overwhelm my concubine?"

  All the ladies on the field looked like jagged gourds, all lowered their heads, looked at their noses, noses, and hearts.

  Madam Fan still raised her head, and replied neither soft nor hard: "The princess is joking, the master is in charge of the affairs of the city, and it is indeed not as easy as you and the prince."

  This is short of saying that King Yu is useless and has to rely on Lord Fan in everything.

  Princess Yu gritted her teeth angrily, and the two continued to argue.

  Princess Yu is a straight person, so naturally she can't say that Mrs. Fan is born and sociable.

   Obviously, in this kind of matter, Concubine Yu has been defeated repeatedly. After many rounds, even the slick Mrs. Fan can't stand it.

  Shen Mingjiao watched silently, while doubts floated in her heart.

  On the surface, Fan Changshi is greedy for merit and power, while Yu Wang is weak and has no talent, so he is ostracized by him.

   However, in fact, all these are illusions that confuse the world. The more King Yu rebelled, Fan Changshi could not have been unaware.

  Madam Fan is like Princess Yu completely unaware, or she is just acting!

   Mrs. Ke Fan was born in a wealthy family and is said to be very good at communication. Even if she didn't know it, she shouldn't offend the dignified princess like this. If you are acting, you should have some scruples.

   While he was thinking, the corner of his eyes inadvertently glanced at a woman in an apricot yellow dress who was following Mrs. Fan,

  The woman is only in her twenties, with a delicate and delicate face, she is a rare beauty.

  Of course Shen Mingjiao noticed this woman, not because of her appearance. Instead, he felt that the other party's face was inexplicably familiar.

Two months ago at the palace banquet, she accidentally bumped into Eunuch Wu who had been planted with a heart-loving venom. Afterwards, she found a picture of a little girl in Eunuch Wu's room. It was her lost sister, and Yunshu recognized the little elephant. The girl named Hongyu was a thin horse in the south of the Yangtze River, who was later sold to Jingzhou.

  At that time, Yun Shu drew the portrait of the woman casually, so Shen Mingjiao was quite impressed.

  Perhaps her gaze was too focused, Hongyu turned her head and looked over. Shen Mingjiao smiled curiously and friendly at the other party.

  As soon as she learned about this, she put Yun Shu's portrait in the letter and sent it to Feng Lisheng, so Feng Lisheng thought that Feng Lisheng had already made arrangements.

  At this time, Princess Yu also noticed Hongyu, she rolled her eyes, and exaggeratedly said "ah", "This girl looks strange, but she is so handsome! I wonder which girl in the house is it?"

   Now Mrs. Fan is so angry that she gritted her teeth. Everyone in Jingzhou's upper class knows about the fact that the master loves Hongyu, a bitch. How could Princess Yu, who always loves to gossip, not know?

  But she is naturally higher than Princess Yu, no matter what she thinks in her heart, there is no abnormality on her face: "This is Aunt Hong, and the princess has heard of it before."

   It was rare for Princess Yu to grasp Mrs. Fan's sore spots, and the two fought again.

  …

   After a while, the two finally calmed down. After all, the flower viewing banquet that Princess Yu worked so hard to organize could not be all used for bickering.

  Shen Mingjiao was a little bored, so Haitang followed her for a casual stroll around the garden. She had been to this garden a few times, and she was quite familiar with it. Turning around a rockery in front, there was an octagonal gazebo with a good view.

  She was planning to sit there for a while, when a weak coughing sound came from her ears. Haitang pointed to a corner of the rockery and whispered:

   "Isn't that the Aunt Hong who followed Mrs. Fan just now?"

  Shen Mingjiao followed her line of sight, and sure enough, she saw a beautiful-looking woman standing there, who was bending over at this moment, covering her chest with one hand and coughing desperately.

  Shen Mingjiao walked over, raised her hand to help her straighten her back, and asked softly, "Do you need help?"

   Hongyu raised her head abruptly, only when she got closer did she notice that her face was very pale, which was only covered with makeup powder. She lowered her eyes and said:

   "No thanks."

  Shen Mingjiao took the water bag that Haitang was holding: "Drink some!"

   Without waiting for her to refuse, she directly stuffed the water bag into the opponent's hand. When he touched the back of her hand, he couldn't help being taken aback: "Why are your hands so cold?"

   Carefully sizing up the other person's complexion, she was startled, and guessed, "Are you... having a miscarriage?"

  She remembered that when she was in the Marquis of Yongchang in the past, a roommate of the hall brother secretly became pregnant, and Mrs. Li had someone pour a bowl of abortion pills on the roommate. Afterwards, she bumped into that Tongfang by chance, and her expression was like this.

   Hongyu still lowered her eyes and responded softly.

  Shen Mingjiao understood, she said that even if Hongyu was favored again, she was only a concubine, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Fan could not bring a concubine to such an occasion.

   She has no position to say anything about this, after all, it is not unusual for a wife not to see a concubine. She grabbed a handful of red dates from her purse and handed it over:

   "Eat something, talk is better than nothing, no matter what, you only have one life."

  Hongyu finally raised her head, was stunned for a moment, and said "Thank you" softly, this time her tone was obviously much more sincere.

  She stretched out her hand to pick up the red dates that Shen Mingjiao handed over. Gently pinched one and put it in her mouth, the sweet taste exploded in her mouth, but the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel sour.

  She couldn't help but ate another one, and said "thank you" again,

  After speaking, she planned to leave, she knew that she couldn't stay outside for too long. The arm was pulled down.

  Just when Hongyu stretched out her hand, Shen Mingjiao happened to see a very thin black line on her arm.

  Cui Lingling said that anyone who has been planted with Gu will have such a black line on the inside of the arm.

  She was planning to use hypnosis to ask what she wanted to know once and for all, when Mrs. Fan and a few women came over in the distance, she had no choice but to withdraw her hand regretfully.

  Hongyu didn't pay attention to the change in her eyes, and only said softly when she left:

   "Don't come to Prince Yu's Mansion again during this time, the farther away the better."

  …

   On the other hand, after a period of cursing and fawning, King Yu took Chen Jinbao with him almost everywhere. Today, King Yu went to Zhuangzi, which specializes in raising birds outside the city.

  Chen Jinbao also insisted on following the past, Yu Wang didn't doubt anything, deep down he even enjoyed the feeling of being sought after by others.

   This Zhuangzi looks very big, because it raises birds, and there is a big mountain behind it, named Wanfo Mountain. It is said that there are ferocious beasts and ghosts in the depths of Wanfo Mountain. Over the years, there have been unbelieving hunters or explorers who have entered the depths, but no one can come out. Over time, Wanfo Mountain has almost become a forbidden area in Jingzhou and several nearby state capitals.

  As soon as he walked into Zhuangzi, his ears were filled with the sound of chirping birds. Feng Wu covered his ears uncomfortably and whispered: "How many birds have been raised!"

  Feng Lisheng didn't speak, but listened quietly to the birdsong around him.

  The group of people followed Yu Wang for a long time. During the period, they wore flowers and willows, and passed through several tree clearings. From time to time, various rare birds flew over their heads. If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably stop for such a beautiful scenery.

  Maybe it was out of intuition that he experienced in the battlefield, Feng Wu always felt that something was wrong, especially when he looked at the surrounding environment, the sense of disobedience was even more obvious.
