Chapter 266 Portrait of the Prince Consort

Xu Muhua was not disappointed.

Not to mention the ancient feudal society, where there were clear classes, even in modern times where people are shouting about fairness, eliminating classes, and equality for all, such things are not uncommon.

People with money and power always seem to be able to dominate ordinary people.

This was even more so in ancient times.

If the offender's status was lower than that of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, the price he would have to pay would definitely not be as easy as it is today. But on the other hand, if the other party's status was higher than that of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, then she could only accept it with a pinch of her nose.

She smiled sensibly, "Your Highness, I understand."

The eldest princess felt a little guilty, and now seeing that she was so sensible, she felt even more guilty.

Xu Muhua saved her, and that day she looked at her differently because of this. Unexpectedly, it not only did not bring her any benefits, but also caused her unnecessary troubles.

Unfortunately, that person was Hong'er's biological mother, and she was in a dilemma.

All she could do was to force the people in Ling Mansion to confine her to her house, kneel in the ancestral hall to copy scriptures, and not to interfere in Hong'er's affairs in private. Then the cousin was also forcibly sent away, Hong Miao was beaten to death and thrown into the mass grave, and the man who was her accomplice was also dealt with.

"I'm sorry for wronging you this time..."

The princess explained the outcome of the matter, and finally said, "Let me make you a promise. No matter when you encounter difficulties in the future, come to me and I will definitely help you!"

Xu Muhua said in fear and trepidation, "Your Highness is too serious. Since the maid and the man have already received the due punishment, this matter is over. I understand everything and I don't feel wronged. Your Highness, don't take it to heart."

"You don't have to rush to refuse. Although I said so, there are also prerequisites. If the request you made is too excessive, I can't do it. There is nothing I can do."

Xu Muhua shook his head, with a simple face: "I don't need your help. My life is stable, my family is harmonious, and there is a little extra money at home, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't need help from others."

"No now doesn't mean no in the future. There is no reason to take back what I said. This promise will always be valid until you use it!" The

princess felt that since there was no way to make the mastermind pay any price, she could only think of ways from other places.

If Xu Muhua hadn't saved her outside the colorful clothing shop, the princess wouldn't be so worried about this matter. Just push the maid and the cousin out to take the blame.

But who asked Xu Muhua to save her? She did have a good impression of Xu Muhua.

Since the princess said so, Xu Muhua would not be pretentious.

"Then I would like to thank Your Highness first! Your Highness is really a very good person as the outside world says!"

The princess felt a little guilty after hearing this.

As she was talking, Aunt Qi walked in, bowed and said, "Your Highness, the portrait you asked someone to repair earlier has been retrieved. Does Your Highness want to take a look at it now?"

Xu Muhua's heart moved.

Portrait, could it be a portrait of the prince consort?

Although she was a little curious, she was still very discerning and prepared to retreat first.

But before she could say anything, the princess ordered without any hesitation: "Bring it here for me to see."

Before leaving, Nanny Qi seemed to glance at Xu Muhua, but the action was not obvious and the speed was fast, so Xu Muhua was not sure whether she looked at her.

Nanny Qi soon came in with a woman who was holding a scroll in her arms.

After the woman came in, she lowered her head and did not look around, so after she bowed, she raised her eyes and saw Xu Muhua, and was stunned for a moment. But she soon lowered her eyes and whispered: "Your Highness, the portrait of my husband has been restored. Do you want to see it now?"

The princess nodded to Nanny Qi, and Nanny Qi took the scroll from the woman's hand. She first opened the scroll, then carefully took out the scroll from it, and then slowly opened it and held it in front of the princess.

Xu Muhua didn't see who was painted on the scroll, but she could see that the princess was instantly excited after seeing the scroll. She held back her tears and stretched out her hand with a slight tremor, wanting to touch it.

But when her hand was about to touch the portrait, she retracted it and stretched it out again. After several times, she finally drew the person in the air again, as if she was afraid of disturbing the person in the portrait.

"Put it away!"

The princess tilted her head and wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand.

Upon hearing this, Madam Qi was about to put the scroll away.

After wiping the corner of her eyes, the princess raised her eyes and met Xu Muhua's curious eyes, which she didn't have time to retract.

She paused and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see the portrait of your husband?"

Madam Qi stopped putting away the scroll, looked at the princess in surprise, and then looked at Xu Muhua.

Xu Muhua herself was also surprised why the princess suddenly asked this.

However, she quickly reacted, and a hint of expectation appeared on her face at the right time, "Is it okay?"

The princess smiled softly and said, "Why not? The prince

consort is very handsome, not scary." "Well, I heard from my mother before that the prince consort was very talented and handsome, and his appearance was like Pan An, so the princess fell in love with the prince consort at first sight." When the prince consort was mentioned

, the expression and eyes on the princess' face became much gentler, and there seemed to be light in her eyes, sweeping away the usual calmness.

"Then come and take a look! See if the prince consort is what you imagined."

Xu Muhua trotted over, poking her head out, with a curious look on her face.

Seeing the portrait, she couldn't help revealing a look of amazement, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The prince consort is indeed as good-looking as Pan An - no, I think it's hard to say who is more handsome between Pan An and the prince consort!"

It's not that Xu Muhua deliberately flatters the princess, but the prince consort is indeed very handsome. If the portrait is more restored, it's not an exaggeration for the prince consort to say that he is more handsome than Pan An.

The man in the portrait gives people a feeling of being romantic and unrestrained just by looking at him like this. His peach blossom eyes are smiling and affectionately looking at the person outside the painting, and his bright red lips are outlined with a faint smile, which makes people fall for him.

He was wearing a scarf on his head, holding a pen in his hand, bending over as if painting. Then, suddenly someone called him, and he reflexively stood up and looked over.

The person who called him should be the eldest princess, and the person in the painting should also be the eldest princess. Because the affection in the eyes of the husband can be clearly seen from the portrait.

Xu Muhua couldn't help but sigh in her heart: No wonder the eldest princess is obsessed with the husband. After experiencing such a person, how can she look down on others!

Just this appearance is enough to make people unable to let go!
