Chapter 990 The Best Wife
"Then I'll trouble Your Highness the Princess."
After walking a few steps, Jiang Xue turned around and saw Yun Zhen also looking at her. She couldn't help but smile, hoping that he would not become her enemy.
Huangfu Shang lived in the west courtyard, while Yun Zhen lived in the east courtyard. When they learned that Jiang Xue personally greeted and escorted Yun Zhen, they were furious.
"Dongxiang is just a small country, how can it be compared with our country? Jiang Xue didn't personally welcome me at the beginning, but now she goes to welcome Yun Zhen. It's really puzzling."
Jiang Yuyin explained: "Jiang Xue has always been cautious in her actions. It is unlikely that she would condescend to a small country unless there is something else going on."
"You mean Yun Zhen is an important person? But at most he is just the prince of the small country of Dongxiang."
Huangfu Shang thought for a moment and then said, "No, we have to go see him."
When Lan Feng returned home, he saw Jiang Xiaowei sitting by the window embroidering, so he walked up to her and said gently, "Just let the servants do these things. What you need most now is a good rest."
Jiang Xiao smiled slightly and replied, "I just rest every day, which is really boring. Seeing that your purse is old, I want to make you a new one."
Lan Feng pinched her cheek lightly and said with a smile: "The old purse is fine, I don't need a new one. I just hope you and the child are healthy and safe."
"Aren't my child and I healthy?"
Jiang Xiaowei put down the needle and thread in her hand: "Since you don't like me doing this, then I won't do it. Does the fourth prince of Dongxiang who I met today really look exactly like the eldest son of the previous emperor?"
"Not only do they look similar, but their words and actions are almost the same. This person is very suspicious." Lan Feng explained.
Jiang Xiaowei said worriedly: "The deep brotherly love between the eldest princess and the eldest son of the late emperor is a good story in the capital.
Now that someone like Yun Zhen suddenly appears, she might feel uncomfortable. And if Yun Zhen has bad intentions, wouldn't she be in danger?"
Lan Feng comforted her: "You can rest assured about this. I have arranged people to secretly monitor him. After all, this is our territory, he dare not mess around.
Besides, the princess has Yun Che protecting her, so she will be fine."
Jiang Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel much more at ease when you say that."
"Just rest assured and take care of your baby."
Lan Feng placed his hand gently on her abdomen: "Can I feel the baby's movement now?"
Jiang Xiao smiled and responded: "The child is still too young, how could he feel it so early? Third brother said that there will be no movement until at least four months."
"I see."
Lan Feng was a little disappointed: "I was too anxious. I didn't know when I would have to return to the border. I thought it would be nice to touch her through my belly."
Looking at her, Lan Feng's eyes were full of apology: "I may not be able to be with you during the birth. I am really not qualified to be your husband."
Jiang Xiaowei held his hand and put it on her face: "You are the best husband in my heart, don't blame yourself so much.
Although you may not be able to accompany me to give birth in the future, you are guarding the country at the border, and you are also guarding us. You have been protecting us, how can you be incompetent? "
"Xiaowei, you are so nice."
Lan Feng kissed her cheek: "I know I'm not the best husband, but you are the best wife.
If I really can't accompany you during the birth, I will send someone to pick you up as soon as possible after you recover from the confinement period so that our family can be reunited."
Jiang Xiaowei nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Afterwards, Huangfu Shang asked someone to prepare a generous gift and took Jiang Yuyin to visit the East Courtyard.
When he first met Yun Zhen, Huangfu Shang was attracted by his calm yet unignorable temperament.
Jiang Yuyin was more direct. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and called out softly, "Royal brother?"
Because she was still young when Jiang Ke fell off a horse and died, and they were not close, her memory of Jiang Ke was very vague.
When she grew up, she saw her sister Jiang Xue's longing and admiration for Jiang Ke, and she became curious and took great pains to find a portrait of Jiang Ke.
The Jiang Ke in the portrait was extremely similar to the Yun Zhen in front of her. Although she felt that this was almost impossible, the doubts in her heart still drove her to find out.
Hearing Jiang Yuyin's address, Huangfu Shang frowned.
The Emperor of Gan had few children, only two sons and two daughters.
The only person Jiang Yuyin could call her "brother" was the late Jiang Ke. However, he had fallen off a horse and died many years ago, so how could he come back to life?
At this moment, Huangfu Shang understood why Jiang Xue went to the city gate in person to greet Yun Zhen - because Yun Zhen looked very similar to Jiang Ke.
Thinking of this, he began to question Dong Xiang's motives for sending someone who looked similar to the former crown prince.
Considering that Princess Yunchu of Dongxiang had died in the capital for unknown reasons, was Yun Zhen going on this trip out of revenge?
If that was the case, he wouldn't mind joining forces with Dong Xiang.
Faced with all this, Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked, "What do you mean, Princess An Ning?"
Huangfu Shang took over the conversation: "I believe that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has heard about the affairs of the eldest son of the late emperor of this dynasty."
Yun Zhen responded, "Is it the eldest son of the late emperor who was praised as "a man as beautiful as jade, a young master unparalleled in the world"? "
Jiang Yuyin added: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you look so much like my brother."
Yun Zhen smiled softly: "It is my honor to be similar to such a legendary prince."
Seeing that Jiang Yuyin wanted to say something, Huangfu Shang secretly stopped her and reminded her not to say too much at this time.
Then, Yun Zhen said: "However, everything in the world has its own shape, and sometimes it is normal for them to look similar."
During the conversation, a servant came in hurriedly and reported: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, the Princess's Palace just sent a box of gifts, saying it is a meeting gift for you."
A meeting gift? Huangfu Shang sneered. It seemed that Jiang Xue was indeed deceived by Yun Zhen's appearance.
Yun Zhen said calmly, "Bring the box in. I want to see what's inside."
The box was quickly brought in, and when I opened it, I saw that it was full of books, calligraphy and paintings. I took out a scroll and unfolded it, and it turned out to be "Autumn Scene in Barren Mountain" by Han Sanqian, a master of the previous dynasty.
Jiang Yuyin was surprised and said, "This painting, "Autumn Scene in Barren Mountain", was one of my brother's favorite collections during his lifetime. After he passed away, it was passed on to my eldest sister.
I didn't expect that she would give this painting to the Fourth Prince. I'm sure the other books and paintings are also rare treasures. What a generous gesture."
Yun Zhen smiled slightly, like a gentle breeze blowing on his face: "The reason why I am so favored by the princess today is probably because of this face."
Huangfu Shang's eyes were gloomy. Wasn't it because of that face? In Jiang Xue's heart, there was no one else except Xiao Zhan.
Yun Zhen suddenly asked Jiang Yuyin: "Princess An Ning, am I really that much like your brother?"
