The army drillmaster Yu Xiaoxiao (玉小小) [aka “Little Jade”] transmigrated from a zombie apocalypse world into the body of the eldest imperial princess. On her first day, she got hitched to young Gen...
"Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Zhuojun to follow her, and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "Then it belongs to the Fifth Prince?"
Yu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and said, "It's okay. He always ends up like this when he talks to me. I'll get used to it."
Jiang Zhuojun took a look at Guining, who was being pinched on the philtrum by the big boss and being shaken, and he felt a little sympathy for Guining. If every Hui family member was like this, this person would be too pathetic.
Xiao Wei and his family of three walked into the courtyard at this time. Seeing the chaos in the courtyard, Jiang Yue Niang said to Xiao Wei helplessly: "The Fifth Prince has been mad at the princess again? Did the princess promise the prince consort to talk to the Fifth Prince nicely today?"
Xiao Wei asked Xiao Bao, who was stretching his neck to look at Guining, to look at Jiang Zhuojun, and said with a smile: "Princess, just listen to these words, don't take them seriously."
"Uncle!" Xiaobao recognized Jiang Zhuojun at this time, and ran in front of Jiang Zhuojun while shouting uncle.
Jiang Zhuojun took a few steps forward, hugged Xiaobao, and asked with a smile: "Xiaobao, do you miss your uncle?"
"I do!" Xiaobao nodded vigorously.
Xiao Wei and Jiang Yueniang also came up and greeted Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun looked his sister up and down. Miss Jiang was no longer dressed in pearls and silks like she used to be, but her complexion was rosy and her lips were smiling. It was obvious that she did not look like she was enduring a hard time.
Jiang Yueniang was also looking at her brother. Jiang Zhuojun had already been crowned a king, holding military power, second only to Zhuque and above everyone else. However, Jiang Yueniang did not see any spiritedness in her brother. "Zhuojun," Jiang Yueniang hesitated and asked, "Is it you who..."
"Sister, I'm fine," Jiang Zhuojun interrupted Jiang Yueniang and said, "Seeing that you are doing well now, I feel at ease."
Jiang Yue Niang looked at Xiao Wei beside her and felt sweet in her heart.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the back and whispered to Gu Xinglang: "Did you see that? The Jiang family girl and Xiao Wei are still in the honeymoon period. She is obviously talented enough to be a queen, but she has a girlish heart."
Gu Xinglang didn’t understand what his wife said, so he just said “um” and “ah” as a response.
Yu Xiaoxiao stared at the bag in Jiang Zhuojun's hand again and asked Gu Xinglang, "Xiao Gu, what do you think that is?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Gift."
Yu Xiao: "It would be nice if it was Mo Wen's head."
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "Impossible."
"I know it's impossible," Yu Xiaoxiao sighed, and said, "Xiao Jiang was already very brave to injure Mo Wen in Miaodi. If he really gave us Mo Wen's head as a gift, I would..." Yu Xiaoxiao stopped talking here, thinking about what I should give in return? Giving myself in return is definitely not an option, so what about giving more rice and flour?
Gu Xinglang said: "What do you want to do?"
Yu Xiaoxiao hardened her heart and said, "I will give the IOU written by Jing Mo to Xiao Jiang!"
Gu Xinglang believed that this was the biggest investment his wife could make, a mountain of gold!
Jiang Yueniang said a few words to Jiang Zhuojun, and then she glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang who were standing there waiting. Miss Jiang said sympathetically, "Go talk to the princess and her husband, I'll come back to you later."
Jiang Zhuojun nodded and raised his hand to touch Xiaobao's head again.
Jiang Yue Niang pulled Xiao Bao to stand in front of her and urged, "Go quickly." Now was not the time for them to chat.
Xiao Wei accompanied Jiang Zhuojun to Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang.
"Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang in front and the four of them walked out of the courtyard.
Not long after Yu Xiaoxiao left, Gui Ning was brought back to his senses by the headmaster. He sat on the armchair, looked at the headmaster and asked, "Where is your princess?"
The eldest master said, "Let's go, Fifth Prince, don't even think about letting my princess see my paintings. In my princess' eyes, you are better at steaming a few buns than you are at painting a picture."
Gui Ning said, "So she likes Zi Shen's paintings?"
The eldest boss said, "Yes, there are six big steamed buns in the painting."
Yu Zishen tiptoed to look at his recently recognized master and said, "In the future, I want to learn to draw braised pork and roast duck. As long as it is edible, my sister likes it!"
Are there any words that could make Gui Ning more upset than these?
Jiang Yueniang pulled Xiaobao away. She didn't want Xiaobao to get involved in this matter. Not to mention that Xiaobao was not interested in painting, even if he was interested, Miss Jiang would not let Xiaobao find a master like Guining. He always went to the princess to find someone to abuse. How smart could his brain be? (In fact, the fifth prince Gui was still very talented-_-|||)
Yu Xiaoxiao took Jiang Zhuojun back to the courtyard where she lived and sat down in the side hall. Yu Xiaoxiao began to stare at the cloth bag in Jiang Zhuojun's hand again.
Jiang Zhuojun put the cloth bag on the table, pushed it in front of Yu Xiaoxiao, and said, "These are some snacks of mine, Zhuque. I brought some to you. I hope the princess won't dislike them."
When Yu Xiaoxiao heard that it was food, her eyes immediately brightened up again.
Gu Xinglang thanked Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? They are just some snacks, not worth much."
Gu Xinglang looked at his wife who was busy unpacking the cloth bag and smiled, saying, "If the princess likes it, then it's valuable."
Yu Xiao: "When we went to Suzaku, we were busy rebelling, so I didn't eat much. I don't even know what special foods Suzaku has."
Xiao Wei said, "Then wait until Mo Wen's matter is settled, and let the prince consort accompany you to Zhuque again."
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Jiang Zhuojun: "Xiao Jiang, will you cover Xiao Gu and me for food and lodging?"
Jiang Zhuojun smiled and nodded.
"Okay then, we have made the decision happily," Yu Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the wooden box containing the snacks, took out a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth, then Gu Xinglang and Xiao Wei each took a piece, and she took another piece and put it in Jiang Zhuojun's hand.
Jiang Zhuojun held the pea cake in his hand and asked Gu Xinglang: "Is Su Yi still living in your house now?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "There was a false news that I seriously injured him. He can't stay here anymore. Brother Su is living in the Imperial Palace with Su Zhao now."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "Are you sure?"
Gu Xinglang said: "I'll try my best."
Jiang Zhuojun's face darkened. To say that he would try his best meant that he was not sure.
"No hurry," Yu Xiaoxiao said incoherently with a mouthful of snacks, "We still have time."
"Jing Mo told me that in half a month, he will formally propose to the princess," Jiang Zhuojun whispered.
Yu Xiao: "Yes, then Xiao Gu will be kicked out of the house by Brother Gu and go on the run."
Yu Xiaoxiao spoke very easily, but Jiang Zhuojun felt heavy in his heart listening to her.
"You have to rush back to Suzaku," Gu Xinglang said to Jiang Zhuojun.
Jiang Zhuojun glanced at the doors and windows in the side hall and lowered his voice and said, "I killed a monk from the Eternal Life Temple on the way to Fengjing. The monk said that Mo Wen's chest wound had not healed when he left the Eternal Life Temple."
Um?
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes jumped, and she felt that something new was about to happen.
