Chapter 288: Doctor Yun is my consort

Inside the Zen room.

The Duke's wife looked at Jiang Ruo's face and suddenly thought of Nangong Li who had passed away many years ago.

Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. "Ali was considerate and sensible...but she was betrayed by that heartless bastard Jiang Qinian."

"And Ruoruo, she has been without a mother to protect her since she was young, and I can't help her..."

"Now, that old man has fallen into this situation, he deserves it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo's eyes reddened as she took out a handkerchief and handed it to the Duke's wife, saying softly, "Everything is over."

Princess Anran spoke at the right moment to comfort her, "Don't be sad, Madam Guo."

"We are in the capital, and there are many things we cannot control."

"That old bastard Jiang Qinian has severed the father-daughter relationship with our Ruo Ruo. From now on, we will just have to watch him make a fool of himself."

Alas, they are all miserable people!

The Duke's wife took the handkerchief, wiped her tears, and slowly calmed down.

After the kettle on the stove boiled, Jiang Ruo came to the tea table and brewed a pot of tea in the purple clay teapot.

"Aunt, Madam Duke, come and have a cup of hot tea."

The three of them sat in front of the tea table, drinking hot tea and chatting about recent events...

bamboo forest.

Ning Jinghuai looked at Xiao Chengjin with disappointment.

He thought to himself that he had to find an opportunity to confess his feelings to his future wife.

By the way, there will be a palace banquet tonight. After the banquet is over, I will go and confess my feelings.

Thinking of this, Ning Jinghuai couldn't help but complain: "Alas, because of that person above, so many things have been delayed for me."

"Otherwise... I would have had two children in three years." Ning Jinghuai said, feeling even more dissatisfied.

My wife is obviously the daughter of a general, but in order to avoid the fear of the dog emperor, she pretended to be sick since she was a child...

However, when his wife went to the brothel to "catch the adulterer", she was really fierce and showed no mercy to him!

A few days ago, I kissed her secretly in a brothel, and she punched me hard on the spot. My chest still hurts.

Hehe! She still doesn't know she's been exposed...

Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai, who sometimes smiled and sometimes frowned, and teased: "I wish you can marry a beautiful woman, and have two in three years."

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I'm waiting for an opportunity."

Ning Jinghuai collected his thoughts and said seriously, "Then I will await your triumphant return in the capital."

Xiao Chengjin nodded and said, "You go back first. I'll go find my father-in-law." As he said that, he was about to leave.

When Ning Jinghuai heard the words "father-in-law", he stretched out two fingers and grabbed Xiao Chengjin's cloak.

"Master, your family's relationship is a bit messy!"

"Isn't that 'Divine Doctor Yun' the prince consort? Sister Ruoruo..."

Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and said, "He is Ruoruo's biological father, the kind that is closer to her than her biological father."

Ning Jinghuai scratched his head, "So that's how it is!"

"Master, please go find your father-in-law!"

As he spoke, he muttered, "Alas, I don't know when I can meet my father-in-law."

Before Xiao Chengjin turned around and left, he gave Ning Jinghuai a look that said, "You'd better think carefully about how to defeat your father-in-law."

Given General Chu's personality, if you don't have some skills, don't even think about marrying his daughter.

Ning Jinghuai watched Xiao Chengjin leave and walked out of the bamboo forest happily.

Starting today, practice hard and give your future father-in-law a surprise...

Ning Jinghuai came to the door of the Zen room and knocked.

“Bang, bang!”

"Come in!" Princess Anran's voice came from inside.

Ning Jinghuai looked around, gently pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mom, it's time for us to go back." Ning Jinghuai said, bowing to Princess An Ran and Jiang Ruo.

The Duke's wife stood up and bowed, "Your Highness, Madam Xiao, I will go back first."

"We'll have a chance to get together again in the future."

Ning Jinghuai bowed to Princess Anran and Jiang Ruo and said, "Jinghuai, I'm leaving!"

"You mother and son, be careful on the road."

Princess Anran and Jiang Ruo watched the mother and son leave and closed the door of the meditation room.

"Ruoruo, do you want to go to the palace banquet tonight?" Princess Anran asked after taking a sip of tea.

Jiang Ruo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Will it be exposed?"

I'm fine, but I'm afraid of getting my aunt into trouble.

Princess Anran covered her lips and smiled, "Your father made a female human skin mask some time ago."

"You can bring your family to the palace banquet. You are the daughter of the Prince Consort, so you are my daughter..."

Jiang Ruo chuckled, "That's great."

Tonight, it’s lively and worth watching.

Xiao Chengjin came to the back mountain and just saw Sheng Yunshao humming a little tune while walking towards him.

"Father-in-law, let's go back!"

Sheng Yunshao put his hands behind his back, looking relaxed. "Okay, your aunt has to attend the palace banquet tonight. Let's go back early so your aunt can rest for a while."

The two came to the meditation room and left Jing'an Temple one after another.

......

After the afternoon.

Civil and military officials brought their families to the palace for the banquet one after another.

The carriage of the princess's mansion stopped at the palace gate. Jiang Ruo got off the carriage first, and then Princess An Ran got off the carriage with the help of Sheng Yunshao.

When they reached the palace gate, the guards in front of the palace gate bowed and saluted, saying, "We greet Her Royal Highness, Princess. May Your Highness be blessed with good health."

"No need for formalities!" Princess Anran waved her hand.

The captain of the guards looked at the two people beside Princess An Ran, took two steps forward, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Your Highness, you should know that entering the palace for a banquet..."

Princess Anran raised her eyebrows and gently took Sheng Yunshao's hand. "You can bring your family with you to the palace for the banquet. Divine Doctor Yun is my consort."

Then, he grabbed Jiang Ruo's hand and said, "She is the adopted daughter of the prince consort, so... she can come in, right?" His tone was sharp.

Upon hearing this, the captain of the imperial guards hurriedly bowed and said, "I am so blind that I didn't recognize the Prince Consort."

"I greet the Prince Consort!"

Seeing this, the other guards hurriedly bowed and said, "We greet the Prince Consort."

Sheng Yunshao didn't expect Princess An Ran to say that.

His old face flushed, he clenched Princess Anran's hand, and said coldly, "No need to be polite!"

So, the "family of three" swaggered into the palace.

Seeing this, the palace maids who were welcoming them in front paid their respects, and then one of them led them into the banquet hall.

After the three of them left, the guards guarding the palace gate whispered to each other.

"Mom, that Divine Doctor Yun is actually the Prince Consort?"

"What's the big deal? Her Royal Highness has been frail and sickly since childhood. Isn't it just right for her to have a miracle doctor as her consort?"

"Yes, this is what we call repaying a life-saving favor with gratitude."

"Besides, I got a daughter for free..."

The captain of the guards looked at the sedan chair parked at the palace gate and shouted in a low voice, "Shut up, the Crown Prince is here."

All the guards stood in line and quickly put on a serious expression.

Xiao Mocheng got off the sedan chair and carefully helped Tang Shihuan down.

Tang Shihuan gently stroked her abdomen and said meekly, "Your Highness, I'm not feeling well. I'll let Sister Ye accompany you to the palace for the banquet..."

Xiao Mocheng smiled and replied, "You are my principal wife, you must attend such occasions."

"While the month is still young, it's good to go out for a walk."

Ye Youran, who got off the sedan chair from the back, was very unhappy when he heard this.

In public, she didn't dare to be too arrogant, so she had to walk up with a smile on her face.

"Your Highness, let me support my sister!"

Xiao Mocheng nodded after hearing this.

Ye Youran stepped forward, supported Tang Shihuan, and gently reminded her, "Sister, please be careful."

"Don't worry, sister. I will be careful." Tang Shihuan curled the corners of her lips and glanced at Ye Youran.

Xiao Mocheng took two steps forward and heard their conversation, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

These women around him are extraordinary!

The guards at the palace gate saw Xiao Mocheng approaching and knelt down to salute, saying, "We greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty the Crown Princess, and His Majesty Consort Ye."

"Everyone get up." Xiao Mocheng said as he stepped into the palace gate.

After entering the palace gate, Ye Youran lowered his eyes to glance at Tang Shihuan's abdomen, and his hand on her arm clenched unconsciously.

You're just pregnant, and the pregnancy isn't very advanced, so why do you have to wear such loose clothes?

Tang Shihuan felt the strength coming from her arm and cried out softly, "Hiss, sister, you're pinching me and hurting me."

Ye Youran suddenly came to his senses and quickly let go of Tang Shihuan's arm.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sister. I was afraid you would slip, so I used a little more force when supporting you. I'm really sorry."

Xiao Mocheng, who was walking in front, stopped after hearing this.

He turned back to Tang Shihuan and said softly, "Huan'er, let me help you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Tang Shihuan let Xiao Mocheng support her, her eyes full of pride.

Sister Ye, you can show off in the East Palace, but you'd better restrain yourself in the Imperial Palace.

Do you really think I, the Crown Princess, am weak and incompetent...
