Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 182: The Cold and Noble Prince (36)
Jiang Rou had just fallen asleep when she heard a noise outside the window. She got up and saw Ji Huaian. He seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today. When he saw Jiang Rou, he hugged her in his arms without saying a word.
Jiang Rou didn't know what happened to him, but she hugged him back and whispered, "Huai'an, I miss you so much."
Ji Huaian paused when he heard this. It was the first time that Jiang Rou said she missed him. His expression softened and he responded, "Rou, I miss you too."
Afraid that Jiang Rou was tired of standing, he took her hand and walked to the bed. They sat face to face. Ji Huaian looked her up and down, and seemed to be relieved.
Holding Jiang Rou in his arms, Ji Huaian said softly, "You must be scared today." Jiang Rou shook her head and said, "I met Qin'er today. She is my first friend."
When Jiang Rou said this, happiness could be heard in her voice. Ji Huaian patiently listened to her talk about the interesting things she had encountered, and looking at her smile, all the fatigue in his heart was gone.
After saying that, Jiang Rou looked into Ji Huaian's eyes. She seemed to have made up her mind. She gently kissed Ji Huaian on her lips, and while he was stunned, she whispered, "Huaian, don't be unhappy. You want to protect me, and I also want to protect you."
Hearing this, Ji Huaian felt warm in his heart. He rubbed Jiang Rou's head and said with a smile, "Okay, our Arou is here. Arou will protect me."
He held Jiang Rou in his arms and told her about his childhood in a low voice. His tone was relaxed, as if he was telling a story. Only when he talked about the emperor did his tone become slightly more relaxed.
Jiang Rou naturally didn't want to reveal his scars, so she quickly covered his mouth and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't say anymore," with heartache in her eyes.
Although Ji Huaian's parents are not around, no one dares to bully him. But Jiang Rou is different. Her mother died early and her father just remarried. How difficult it is for her to live in the backyard.
But she felt so distressed when she heard about him. Ji Huaian smiled and wiped her tears, and said softly, "Why are you crying?"
Ji Huaian held her shoulders and said softly, "Arou, my life is not hard at all compared to those displaced people. I am very grateful to God for letting me meet you."
Jiang Rou kept nodding, as if to assure, "Huaian, I will always be with you." Ji Huaian looked gently and said, "Okay."
Jiang Rou thought of something and said, "And my child will be with you too." Her words were bold and Ji Huaian also had a vision when he heard them.
Ji Mingjin knelt in the ancestral hall for seven days before being released. After being released, he went to the Shen Mansion to propose marriage.
Jiang Rou was quite surprised to see Ji Mingjin looking pale and limping in front of her. Everyone in the mansion was busy with the marriage proposal, but the person involved actually ran to her.
Ji Mingjin looked at Jiang Rou affectionately. He looked at Jiang Rou with a painful expression and said, "Rou'er." Before he finished his words, Jiang Rou took two steps back.
After distancing himself from him, he said in a distant tone, "Why are you here, Second Brother Ji? Don't keep us waiting for too long," and then he wanted to leave.
Ji Mingjin got anxious and went forward to grab Jiang Rou, but Jiang Rou dodged nimbly. Jiang Rou looked at Ji Mingjin with tears in her eyes and said, "Second brother Ji, what are you doing? How can I have the face to live in this world if people see me like this?"
When Ji Mingjin saw her crying, he stood still. He said with a guilty look on his face, "Rou'er, don't cry. I like you so much that I was in a hurry..."
Jiang Rou interrupted him without even looking at him and said, "Brother Ji, don't say that. Where do you put me and my future sister-in-law?"
Seeing that she was angry, Ji Mingjin hurriedly explained, "Rou'er, you are the only one in my heart. I was plotted against." He cried bitterly and looked very painful.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou just sighed and said to Ji Mingjin, "It seems that you and I are not destined to be together. Brother Ji, please treat your sister-in-law well in the future. I will pretend that I have not seen you today." Then she left.
Ji Mingjin looked at his back and was actually a little reluctant to let him go. Jiang Rou was good-looking and gentle, and she suited his taste in every way, but her status was indeed a little low.
What happened today naturally did not escape the eyes of the master of the mansion, so after proposing marriage, Ji Mingjin continued to be locked up in the ancestral hall and had no chance to pester Jiang Rou.
Last night, when Ji Huaian saw her embroidering a headband for the old lady, he hinted that he was in need of a sachet. Jiang Rou pretended not to understand.
Looking at the sachet that was almost finished in her hand, Jiang Rou could already imagine Ji Huaian's expression when he got it.
Just after finishing the finishing work, Chun Ruo walked in, saw Jiang Rou and said, "Miss, please follow me." Jiang Rou followed her all the way to the front hall.
Jiang Rou received the Queen Mother's decree for her to enter the palace, and after expressing her gratitude, she was taken to the inner room by Madam Ji.
Old Madam Ji saw that she was a little flustered, shook her head and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Arou. The Queen Mother has always been kind-hearted and will definitely not make things difficult for you."
When Jiang Rou sat in the sedan chair, she took out the jade pendant that Old Madam Ji had stuffed into her hand and played with it. She chuckled, thinking that Old Madam Ji's action did not let her down for all her efforts these days.
Jiang Rou came to the palace in a shaky sedan chair and was taken into a palace. Jiang Rou remembered what Old Madam Ji said, and her posture was straight and her eyes were clear, without looking around. The nanny leading the way nodded secretly.
Jiang Rou was brought to the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. She was arranged in the warm room. A well-dressed palace maid came in, saw her and said, "The Empress Dowager is still chanting scriptures now. Miss Jiang, please wait a moment."
Jiang Rou nodded softly and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you for the message, aunt." Jiang Rou looked harmless and spoke softly. She did not show any dissatisfaction after waiting for such a long time.
After the palace maids left, Jiang Rou still sat upright. She knew that this might be intentional by the Queen Mother, and she also roughly got the information out of the palace maids.
It was probably because Ning Xi had made great contributions in treating the emperor that the empress dowager summoned her for a talk. From her conversation, she learned about Jiang Rou and then summoned her into the palace.
Jiang Rou didn't believe it. If that was the case, the empress dowager could have just given her some rewards instead of going through so much trouble to let her enter the palace.
There was no need to let her sit here for a long time and send someone to observe her secretly. Jiang Rou took a sip of tea. She thought that the Queen Mother was Ji Huaian's grandmother.
After a while, the palace maid said that the Queen Mother had summoned her, and Jiang Rou followed the palace maid into the hall.
After Jiang Rou entered the hall and stood still, she paid her respects to the Queen Mother, keeping her eyes lowered the whole time and not looking around. Feeling the gaze from above, Jiang Rou thought to herself, as expected.
The Queen Mother sat at the top and looked at the woman who was paying her respects politely. She didn't call out to her, but she just bowed obediently without a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.
The Queen Mother said, "Get up!" Jiang Rou just stood up when she heard the Queen Mother say, "Come forward quickly and let me see you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rou took a few steps forward. The empress dowager saw her face clearly. She was extremely beautiful and her eyes were clear and bright without any impurities. The empress dowager nodded slightly.
Then he praised her, "She is a beautiful girl with a very good complexion."
