Quick Wear: The male protagonists all fell in love with her at first sight
Chapter 199: The Cold and Noble Prince (53)
Just across the wall from the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is Wen Shu's Princess Mansion. Ever since she returned to Beijing, she has been staying in the Princess Mansion and has never set foot in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Wu'an often stood in the yard in a daze, staring at the wall for the entire afternoon. When Old Lady Ji found out about this, she kept saying "What a sin!"
Then he saw Jiang Rou standing aside, not saying much but just reminding Ji Huaian to be well. Jiang Rou would always say something nice to make Old Madam Ji happy at this time.
New Year's Eve is in two days, and the Wu'an Marquis Mansion will definitely be on the list for the palace's New Year's Eve banquet. Jiang Rou will naturally have to go to the palace as well, so Old Madam Ji wants to prepare in advance.
Jiang Rou was called by her to have her measurements taken and the clothes tailored. Listening to the tailor's praise, Mrs. Ji felt as if she was honored, but Jiang Rou's cheeks felt hot because of the flattery from both of them.
At this moment Chun Ruo walked in hurriedly. It was rare to see an anxious look on her face. After stopping, she said to Madam Ji, "Madam, the princess is here."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji stood up from her chair in shock. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" Chun Ruo took a breath and said, "The princess is here and is waiting for you in the main hall."
After calming her expression, Madam Ji took Jiang Rou and hurried to the main hall. Along the way, she couldn't figure out why Wen Shu came here. After all, if the late emperor had not granted the marriage, she and Marquis Wu'an would have probably divorced.
When she walked into the main hall, she saw Wenshu sitting in the main seat. When Madam Ji was about to greet her, she heard Wenshu say, "Madam, don't be so polite. Please sit down."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji responded and took Jiang Rou to sit down. Before she could ask, she heard Wen Shu say, "I came here today to find Arou."
Jiang Rou, who had been playing dumb all this time, was a little surprised when she heard that. She raised her head and met Wen Shu's smiling eyes. Then she heard her say, "I like Arou very much and want to take her to the princess's mansion to live for two days. Is Arou willing?"
Jiang Rou looked very terrified. She didn't know what Wen Shu's intention was, but as Ji Huaian's mother and of noble status, Jiang Rou naturally didn't dare to refuse. So she said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I'm willing."
When Old Madam Ji heard her say this, she became a little worried about Jiang Rou. She was afraid that Wen Shu had ulterior motives for this trip and that she would deliberately make things difficult for Jiang Rou by thinking that Jiang Rou was of low status.
As if she saw her worry, Wen Shu took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, old madam. I like Arou very much."
Jiang Rou followed Wen Shu and left, with Qing Yan following her. Yingtao was left in the mansion. Jiang Rou comforted her for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Because time was urgent, they packed up simply. When Wen Shu saw her small package, she held Jiang Rou's hand and said, "Your things are already prepared in the house, so just pack up simply."
Maybe it was because Wen Shu's attitude was very gentle that Jiang Rou gradually relaxed, and the two of them didn't feel lonely walking together.
At the main gate of Marquis Wu'an's mansion, Jiang Rou and Wen Shu bumped into Marquis Wu'an head-on. Wen Shu was stunned, but Jiang Rou was the first to react and greeted Marquis Wu'an. Her voice brought the two stunned people back to their senses.
Wen Shu's face was expressionless, and no emotion could be seen. She turned her face away first, and walked out of the mansion with Jiang Rou. They passed by Marquis Wu'an, but did not even look at him.
After Jiang Rou walked out of the door, she found Wu An standing there looking at their backs. His tall body collapsed, as if all his energy had been sucked away.
Wen Shu's mood was naturally affected to some extent. She didn't say a word on the rest of the way. Fortunately, the princess's mansion was not far away, and she entered the mansion soon.
Wen Shu smiled again. She pulled Jiang Rou into a small courtyard. The courtyard was very elegantly maintained. Because the windows faced the sun, the room was exceptionally bright.
Wen Shu walked in holding Jiang Rou's hand and asked with a smile, "Do you like it?" Jiang Rou nodded and said with great emotion, "I like it, thank you..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Wen Shu, who said, "Good child, we'll be a family from now on, so don't be so polite." After a pause, she said to Jiang Rou, "Are you wondering why I took you into the house?"
Jiang Rou looked at her, and Princess Wenshu smiled, but there was bitterness in her voice. Jiang Rou heard her say, "It's Huai'an. He came to find me a few days ago and asked me to take you to the mansion to stay for a few days."
She turned and looked at Jiang Rou and said, "This is the first time he has spoken to me in all these years. I thought he would never say a word to me in his life." As she spoke, Wen Shu choked up.
Jiang Rou handed over the handkerchief. Wen Shu took it and held Jiang Rou's hand, and said gently, "Good child, you stay with me. You will be safe and he won't be distracted by this."
At the New Year's Eve banquet, Xiao Shixu and Cui Jingyu sat in the main seats, while the queen had been "sick" since that day in the Cining Palace.
Prince Heng winked at the person behind him. He kept an eye on Xiao Shixu's movements. Seeing Xiao Shixu's glass being filled with wine, Prince Heng used his wide robe to cover the corners of his raised mouth.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Jiang Rou sitting obediently next to Wen Shu, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Because of the banquet, Wen Shu had dressed Jiang Rou up nicely.
The red and white dress made her look even more charming, and the white fluff around her neck made her look even more cute.
Unfortunately, she looked like Guanyin. This contradictory existence made her attract the attention of everyone present as soon as she appeared, including King Heng.
The beauty didn't seem to realize that she was being stared at. At this moment, she was staring in one direction with a smile on her face. Following her gaze, I saw Ji Huaian not far away.
King Heng's teeth were grinding, and he said angrily in his heart, "Once Xiao Shixu is dealt with, you will be the next one."
After calming himself down, Prince Heng refilled his glass, raised it to Xiao Shixu and said, "Your Majesty, I offer your respects. May your Majesty be in good health."
Xiao Shixu laughed loudly, picked up the cup and drank the wine offered by Prince Heng. Cui Jingyu looked at everything in front of her and did not stop him. She just sighed and said that the idiot was really killed by her own stupidity.
Just to save face, she gently advised, "Your Majesty has drunk a lot of wine, so you should take care of your health."
Hearing this, Xiao Shixu ignored her and just nodded coldly. Seeing this, Cui Jingyu stopped caring about him. After all, it was his own fault.
Seeing Jiang Rou eating pastries and thinking about what was going to happen soon, she called her personal maid to tell Jiang Rou. However, before her maid could go there, she saw Princess Wenshu taking Jiang Rou away.
As soon as Jiang Rou left, Cui Jingyu noticed a fountain of blood appearing beside her. Xiao Shixu spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on the table the next second.
The situation happened suddenly and everyone at the banquet was frightened. Cui Jingyu didn't have time to panic. She hurried forward and called out urgently, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
