Chapter 63: Let's talk



"Miss, if you are sleepy, we can go a little later. It's not a rush for you to sleep and then we can go out." Hua Chan looked at Jiang Ruohua who was yawning with some worry.

"Nothing."

Jiang Ruohua rubbed her eyes, yawned, washed her face with clean water, and said after she was refreshed, "Let's do some makeup."

Hua Chan held a comb in her hand. To be honest, she felt a little sleepy today. She yawned and combed Jiang Ruohua's hair. Three thousand black hair was half tied up and fixed with a vase hairpin made of enamel. A Erqiao that just bloomed this morning was inserted into the hairpin. The red and pink were eye-catching. Two small velvet flowers were also pinned as a background. She put on pearl earrings and lightly dabbed some rouge. The bright beauty was like a wantonly blooming peony, not coquettish, but noble.

"Young lady looks best like this." Hua Chan said with a smile, "I have put away all those small-scale toys that the Third Madam gave me in the past. Our young lady is still most suitable for this kind of dress. You can tell at a glance that she is a young lady from the Duke's Mansion."

Jiang Ruohua smiled. It was indeed not suitable for her to dress too plainly. Moreover, it would be a pity not to wear such good things every year. The Third Madam asked her to be low-key. As a princess, she should not dress too ostentatiously. Only those who became rich overnight would dress too ostentatiously.

But now think about it, considering her status, these dresses are not excessive. On the contrary, it is her deliberate plainness that makes people feel that she is not presentable. Especially after becoming the Princess of Ying, she should have the rules of a princess. What kind of clothes should be matched with what kind of jewelry. She should not overstep her boundaries, but she should not lose the dignity of being a princess.

She was dressed plainly, not presentable, and Jiang Ruoting looked even more dazzling against her background. The same simple and unadorned jewelry was just right for the beautiful Jiang Ruoting.

I didn't want to think about it anymore. The more I thought about it, the more unlucky I felt.

I packed up and got on the carriage. The first place I went to was not the dazzling shops on the street, but I changed my route to the Liu Mansion.

"Sister Liu."

Jiang Ruohua poked her head out of the carriage and greeted Liu Xiyun who was standing in front of the door.

"Big Sister Jiang." Liu Xiyun smiled and walked towards the Jiang Mansion's carriage with the maid. A servant helped her get on the carriage. After she got in, she sat next to Jiang Ruohua. "I've been feeling bored these days, but they all had something to do or were too busy. Luckily, Big Sister Jiang was going out, so she asked me to come and stay with her shamelessly."

Jiang Ruohua chuckled and signaled Hua Chan to serve tea. The Jiang family's carriage was spacious and stable, with a small table in the middle for tea and snacks.

"I originally wanted to call my second sister to join us." Jiang Ruohua motioned for her to drink tea, "It's a pity that the female teacher has to check the homework of several sisters today, and it's a pity that she can't go out. Since I happen to have time with Sister Liu, I'll have to trouble Sister Liu to accompany me to pick some things today, and then choose some small things for the sisters at home."

"Don't be polite with me, Sister Jiang." Liu Xiyun drank tea and fanned herself lightly, "I just can't stay idle. If Sister Jiang has more free time, we can go out more often in the future. I heard that a theater has opened on West Third Street, singing all new songs. When we have time after shopping, let's go and listen together!"

"Of course!" Jiang Ruohua nodded. "If it sounds good, we can go together when Xie's sisters are free."

Liu Xiyun was in high spirits along the way. When she received the invitation yesterday, she hurriedly asked Jiang Ruohua if she was going out in the next few days. After getting Hua Chan's affirmative, she happily made an appointment to go out together. When she heard that they were going to the horse farm in the manor, Liu Xiyun was really excited. She even asked someone to get two pieces of cloth to make an equestrian suit. When Mrs. Liu found out, she was both amused and embarrassed.

"You can't ride a horse, but you are active in sewing clothes. Princess Shangyang will also go that day, so you can't lose your manners for fun!"

Liu Xiyun imitated Madam Liu's speech, and she did it very well. Jiang Ruohua and several servants in the carriage couldn't help laughing. Jiang Ruohua said, "If you are interested in riding a horse, I can teach you. There are good horses trained by horse trainers in the stable. Pick a docile one for you to try?"

"Okay!" Liu Xiyun became interested as soon as she heard it, "Sister Jiang, you know horse riding? I never knew these things before. You hid it too well!"

"My family taught us not to be spoiled, and I'm too embarrassed to show off my strengths to others like that." Jiang Ruohua made up an excuse and blushed slightly, "If it breaks, it will be embarrassing."

Liu Xiyun swallowed the snack in her mouth and sighed, "My mother also taught me this all the time. Seeing how you were in the past, I'm afraid that if you become a princess, you must be less arrogant and more dignified. Fortunately, my family and my aunt didn't mention the idea of ​​a closer relationship. I don't want to marry my cousin, the King of Yue, as a princess."

"In that case, you should still congratulate me. Now I don't have to be a princess anymore." Jiang Ruohua joked with her, "Don't tell me, I feel so relieved."

Looking at each other, they couldn't help but laugh. Liu Xiyun leaned against the carriage and said, "Actually... when I first met you, I was wondering why I brought you along... I'm sorry, I really didn't know anything about you at that time. We even advised Sister Jiang not to waste time on you, especially since you have such a good family background. But you just threw yourself on the King of Ying. Logically, you don't have to do that. It's because His Royal Highness the King of Ying relies on your family's power, and Zhao Yuexi is so jealous of you. That's it..."

At this point, Liu Xiyun seemed to think that this was too straightforward, and lowered her head slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm really happy for you that you can get out of it."

Jiang Ruohua smiled and laughed off what Liu Xiyun said. After all, it was something that really happened to her. She calmly and smoothly talked about it and said, "Thank you, sister. Actually... the world gave me this favor because my father had no descendants. If I became a royal lady, it would be a recognition of the Jiang family. It's a pity that I was young at that time, and I still saw it too one-sidedly. I only thought that Prince Ying was of the same age as me among the princes, and he was also very outstanding."

"His excellence may allow the Jiang family to make more contributions to the Great Qi Dynasty." Although she didn't care about the past, she still had to explain what needed to be explained. Jiang Ruohua said, "As a daughter of the Duke's Mansion and a princess consort bestowed by His Majesty, it is my duty to plan for the royal family and my mother's family. As a royal woman, how can I be worthy of the name of a role model for women in the world if I only indulge in whether some small person offends my face?"

"After all, one should do one's job. As a future princess, one's words and deeds must be worthy of the reputation and status she has. As for Miss Zhao, she loves the prince, so what does it have to do with me? I want the dignity of my princess, and she wants her favor. Although her behavior is inappropriate, the prince is willing to change for the better."
