Seeing that her master had returned, the maid quickened her pace and soon finished styling her hair.
Lu Zheng picked up a pearl hairpin from her jewelry box beside her and pinned it into her hair. He examined it for a moment and said with satisfaction, "This is better."
His attitude towards her was like that of a married couple.
Lu Zheng recalled the scene when he came back from morning exercise and saw her. She was like a wife waiting for her husband to come home. For the first time, he felt a sense of belonging to this shameful yard.
"Let's eat."
Breakfast was served in the side hall. On the table were only some porridge and side dishes, a plate of pickled cucumbers, and a few plates of snacks. It was so simple that it was not even as good as the one she had in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Zheng glanced at Jiang Jiang calmly, mentally prepared to be despised by her - after all, she was the Jiang family's pampered daughter, used to a life of luxury, so how could she be accustomed to such plain meals?
Lu Zheng still remembered that in his previous life, the person sitting opposite him was Jiang Yun. He was so angry that he overturned the table and accused him of mistreating her.
But Jiang Jiang sat down with a normal expression, picked up a piece of pickled cucumber with his chopsticks, took a bite, and his brows relaxed: "This pickled cucumber is well pickled, sour and crispy, and it goes well with the porridge."
Lu Zheng was slightly startled and asked, "Don't you think these are too simple?"
Jiang Jiang raised his eyes to look at him, with a hint of smile in his eyes: "Your Highness, do you think I should be despised?"
Lu Zheng was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I thought you wouldn't be used to it."
Jiang Jiang scooped up a mouthful of porridge, drank it slowly, and then said, "No matter how exquisite the food is, if there is no one to accompany you, it is just to fill your stomach. It feels comfortable to be like this."
Her tone was calm, but it made Lu Zheng's heart move slightly.
He lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, and suddenly felt that this bland porridge had a little more flavor than usual.
But maybe humans are just strange creatures.
Lu Zheng felt that he had let Jiang Jiang down because she was so easygoing and complacent.
Forget it. Even though he has to put on a show for his brothers, there is no need to make her suffer.
Jiang Jiang ate very elegantly. Her maid felt sorry for the young lady. It was because the young lady was filial and couldn't bear to see her master in trouble, otherwise, shouldn't she be the eldest daughter living this life now?
She thought so and said so when she returned home.
Jiang Jiang looked at the maid. She grew up with the original body and they were close sisters. It was normal for her to feel sorry for her.
only--
Jiang Jiang's eyes shone, and she said, "Don't say such things again in the future. Since I married the prince, it was my own choice, so don't complain about it anymore."
"Besides, life isn't bad these days. I don't have to worry about food and drink. The house is quiet and there are no other concubines. There are few rules. I just need to be content."
In the original book, Lu Zheng was a vengeful person, and now that he was born, he was even more unpredictable. If he heard this, who knows how this girl would be targeted.
"Did she really say that?" Lu Zheng was touched when he heard his subordinates report to him and thought about Jiang Jiang's performance after she married into the family.
The subordinates were also happy for their master: "The princess must really like you. Forgive me for being so nosy. Your Highness is in a difficult situation. It is not easy to have such a princess who treats you sincerely."
Lu Zheng raised his hand to stop him, his eyes darkening as he said, "I know my limits."
After his subordinates left, he stood alone in front of the window, tapping the window frame with his fingertips.
Throughout his life, he had been accustomed to being wary of everyone, and even this marriage was initially just for revenge.
But Jiang Jiang......
Jiang Jiang was an accident.
It was a rare and wonderful accident in his two lives.
