Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Jiang Feng and Ji An actually look somewhat alike, both with round faces and big dark eyes.

The Ji'an County Lady also had a pleasant voice. She bowed and said, "Grandma, ever since Miss Jiang came in, I've felt very close to her, as if I had met my own sister."

Everyone looked at Jiang Feng and Princess Ji'an carefully again. Sure enough, the more they looked, the more alike they looked. They were all amazed.

Jiang Feng knew that this girl was the daughter-in-law that Madam Shen had chosen. She was indeed a fairy-like figure in her speech and behavior. He couldn't help but have some awkward and inferior thoughts in his mind. He looked at Shen Guxing, who was gazing at him affectionately.

There was no one else in his eyes except her.

This is enough!

Be more determined! Be more fearless! Lin Jinran!

Although Jiang Feng and Ji An are somewhat similar, it is not so exaggerated. They just have similar makeup and hairstyle, and the women are just trying to please Princess Taiping.

She and Shen Guxing looked at each other in the crowd. Shen Guxing made a slight gesture to her, which meant: "Be patient, I'll take you to Fengxi Tower to eat fish after the audience!"

Jiang Feng understood what he meant and smiled brightly at the young man.

Princess Taiping saw it, and it seemed as if she had returned to many years ago, when she was still a little girl who knew nothing about the world. On the cruise ship by the Qujiang River, she caught a glimpse of the young man in brocade clothes, and his smile was also so warm, innocent and warm.

Princess Taiping was lost in thought, and didn't want to be pulled back to the boat by a discordant voice. She saw Princess Cheng'an with her hands on her waist scolding her arrogantly: "You dare to act so coquettishly when your aunt and sister are here! How dare you flirt with Yi Ye... in public? You are a country girl who doesn't know etiquette, and you deserve to be severely punished."

Jiang Feng secretly felt overwhelmed. Is this the cannon fodder? She really wanted to tell this girl that the more arrogant and domineering you are, the more your brother Yi Ye will hate you and regard you as a scourge.

As expected, Shen Guxing had already turned cold to the "monster": "A Feng is always polite. He has always been well-behaved since he came to see Your Highness. He dared not say a word or take a step too far. Her Highness and the ladies did not blame me, but the princess accused me of these unfounded crimes! I am not talented, but I am familiar with the six etiquettes, but I really don't know what etiquette the princess is following."

"Shen Guxing! You...you don't know what's good for you! I'm a princess, can't I scold a wild girl?" Cheng An had disliked Jiang Feng for a long time, and when she saw Shen Guxing defending her in every possible way, she became even more furious.

She said to Jiang Feng fiercely: "I originally didn't want to tear off your mask in public for Yi Ye's sake. But I really couldn't bear to see Yi Ye being taken advantage of."

Another tough battle! Jiang Feng was upset, why did he have to travel to Qujiang?

"This April, you tricked my fifth brother into going on a trip to Qiu Mountain with me on the pretext of feeling unwell. You spent several days in the mountain whispering to each other. Perhaps you thought you had really married someone powerful, so you immediately canceled the marriage with your cousin after you returned. That would have been fine, but I heard that you were also having an affair with the grandson-in-law of the founding duke."

Princess Cheng'an exaggerated the information she had obtained. She didn't believe that Shen Guxing would still want such a fickle woman.

People around him began to whisper, with occasional sneers. For the first time, Jiang Feng felt the terrifying power of rumors.

She was not afraid of these groundless slanders, but she was afraid that Shen Guxing would endure the slanders with her. She could not pull this banished immortal from the clouds into the mud.

"Princess, be careful!"

"Ah Feng is so bright and clear, why would the princess slander her innocence with rumors? Although I am just a commoner, I will never allow her to be bullied in the slightest!"

Jiang Zuo's voice trembled with excitement, but Shen Guxing's voice was more determined.

"Shen Guxing, can't you see through her? She came to you because Fifth Brother was tired of her! How can a woman like this be worthy of you!" Princess Cheng'an was anxious and annoyed.

Shen Guxing clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He was extremely angry and felt that Cheng An was hateful and abominable. He did not dare to look at Jiang Feng, because he was afraid of those helpless eyes, which would make him lose control and make him unable to resist fighting.

He wanted to protect her reputation and would never allow her to have such a bad reputation.

But if he looked at Jiang Feng, he would know that his girl was not fragile. She had a firm look in her eyes, ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and face the storm.

As he thought about it, he unclenched his fists, remained calm, and his voice gradually became gentle and powerful: "Chang'an City and Liangzhou are thousands of miles apart, and some people are distorting the facts based on hearsay. What the princess just said is, as far as I know, different. Aunt Jiang has only one sister, and they have always been on good terms. Maybe they have thought about arranging marriages for their children, but they have never actually married, let alone canceled the engagement. I have been in Liangzhou for half a year, and I am a close friend of Gao Hui, the grandson-in-law of the Duke. He is upright and honest, and is definitely not a swindler. You nobles have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and the streets are filled with luxury cars and fragrant cars. You have never seen the children of the northern frontier being passionate and unrestrained. If you have seen and heard it with your own eyes and ears like Yiye, you will never believe these dirty rumors."

After saying this, he slowly walked to Jiang Feng, took the girl's hand, and said in the girl's watery eyes: "If you know Afeng's noble and bright character as well as I do, you will never believe those malicious slanders!"

With a "pop" sound, Princess Ji'an dropped the cup.

It turns out that these women in the palace don't have steady hands, and they broke two cups in just a short while.

Shen Guxing stood tall and looked at Princess Cheng'an: "As for the Prince of Zhongshan, he invited a famous doctor from Qiushan and saved Jiang Feng's life, but that's all. We are grateful for the prince's kindness, but Afeng and him are innocent! If the princess still doesn't believe it, you can ask the princess, or you can ask the Prince of Zhongshan directly, but don't pester or contradict Jiang Feng anymore!"

"Good! Good! Good!" Princess Cheng An kept saying this, but she didn't say anything bad to Shen Guxing. She turned to Jiang Feng with a ferocious look, "I wonder how long he can protect you! I wonder how long you can be so proud!"

She only dared to speak harshly to Jiang Feng, the soft persimmon.

"Okay, Cheng'an. I have prepared to bring Nanny Meng here today. Don't you like the way her hair is done the best? Go and wash up." Young Master Taiping came out to smooth things over.

Princess Taiping's majesty was accumulated over decades of Wu Zhou. As the only heir who would not pose a threat to Wu Zetian's imperial power, she was extremely favored. Wu Zetian made up for all her guilt towards her sons by putting it on Princess Taiping.

In the darkest hour of the Li family, Princess Taiping was like a patron saint.

So even though Princess Anle is now second only to the emperor, she is still respectful to her aunt, and Princess Cheng'an dares not disobey this majestic aunt.

A middle-aged noble lady came out and said a few words of comfort to Princess Cheng'an, who then went down feeling aggrieved and sobbing.

The hall was silent for a while, and Princess Taiping continued, "There are only women on the boat, it would be inconvenient for Yiye and Xiaojiang to stay here, so please go first. The two maids will stay and keep me company to relieve my boredom."

Shen Guxing and Jiang Zuo were both stunned. How could they be assured? Shen Guxing took another step forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Afeng came from Liangzhou, which is located in the northwest and has simple folk customs. She is used to freedom and is used to being carefree. This is her first time meeting you nobles. I am afraid..."

"Don't worry, Yi Ye. My great aunt saw that Miss Jiang is smart, so she stayed to talk to her. Even if there are some shortcomings in the rules and etiquette, she will not blame you." The Princess of Ji'an County knew what Shen Guxing was worried about and interrupted him softly.

Princess Taiping said with a smile: "Ji'an has already vouched for me, Yiye is still worried."

Shen Guxing had no choice but to thank Ji An, nod to Jiang Feng, and then bow to Jiang Zuo and take his leave.
