Chapter 192 Keep Yourself Safe
"Since he likes money, then I'll train him to make money. At worst, I'll provide him with the shop and capital."
"You own so many shops, why did you have to choose that tailor shop? That's your dowry."
Bu Ruo smiled and looked at Bi'er: "Do you really think he goes to the next street every few days just to eat? In fact, he likes that clothing store and its decoration style."
"Instead of that, I might as well just give it to him directly. Didn't you notice that he knew which shop it was before I even mentioned its name? He's been thinking about it for a long time, just thinking about how to coax it into him after the crisis is over."
"But I was planning to give him this shop from the beginning. He only likes medicinal food and money. I can't just give him a restaurant and let him poison people."
When Bier thought of the medicinal food made by Jin Congcong, she could only laugh helplessly along with Bu Ruo.
"Then Princess, do you want Master Jin to accompany you to the Guangling Palace twins' full moon banquet?"
When Bu Ruo mentioned this, he looked expectant: "Yes, of course we should let him go. It will be fun if he goes."
Beau: ???
…
Three days later, Jin Congcong went to the Guangling Marquis' Mansion with Xiao Yulan and Buruo. As soon as the Guangling Marquis' wife saw Buruo, she went to greet him and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, the wife of the Marquis of Guangling personally led Bu Ruo inside: "Princess, you must come and see my twins later. They are really my Pan'er and Yong'er. They look exactly like they did when they were little, not a single bit different."
The full moon banquet at the Guangling Marquis Mansion was held in the courtyard. It was still cool since it was not yet midsummer, and there was no special separation between men and women. There was only a lotus pond in between.
Bu Ruo looked at Jin Congcong who was following behind Xiao Yulan and laughed, which made Jin Congcong feel creepy.
"Your Majesty, do you think Ruo'er is a little abnormal? Why does she keep looking at me and smiling? It's creepy."
Xiao Yulan is not a holy spirit, so naturally he cannot see people's past and present lives, but based on his understanding of his little wife, he is afraid that something is going to happen to Jin Congcong today.
Especially when he went out just now, he heard Bu Ruo specifically instructing the secret guard to tell her Jin Congcong's whereabouts today... and to tell her every detail, so that Xiao Yulan could guess what would happen to him today.
He wanted to protect him, but when he thought about what Qi Ruo said, he wanted him to grow up, so he gave up. After all, his life would not be harmed.
Jin Congcong: Thank you so much.
Many officials and their wives came to the banquet, mainly to see Buruo and his wife. Many people had sent invitations to Buruo but all were rejected. Only the Guangling Marquis and his wife invited people.
After the incident with the former Crown Prince Xiao Jingrui, those who can still remain safe and sound in the court are basically the smart people who have not yet taken sides, and the rest are those who have been optimistic about Xiao Yulan from the beginning.
Although they had heard about the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince, the two had not taken any substantial action. This led many officials who had sensed danger to send their families to test Princess Zhan's intentions.
A certain lady said, "I heard that you, Princess, also went to the border last month. How was your journey?"
"Well, it's not so bad, but there are always people who want to kill my husband and me."
"To think there is such a thing? Is the princess injured? I have a thousand-year-old ginseng that I have treasured for many years in my mansion. I will have someone send it to Prince Zhan's mansion when I return."
"Thank you for your kindness, madam, but it's not necessary. I am fine. It's those people who died."
Madam 1: ...
Madam No. 2: "Princess, I heard that the Bu family army is heading towards Kyoto..."
"Yes, my father and brother are there too."
"Ah, the prince and princess are really thoughtful in helping the emperor to clean up his court."
"Well...that's not the case. Things haven't been peaceful lately. I want to keep myself safe."
Madam 2: ...
Madam Three: "It's been a while since the Princess and the Prince got married. Is there any movement in the Princess's pregnancy?"
"What do you think, Madam? Oh... I seem to have heard that your daughter is in love with my prince. She seems to be two years older than him. But my prince said that if I dare to take a concubine for him, I will kill her."
Madam 3: ...
The wife of Marquis Guangling originally thought that given the current situation, Bu Ruo would not come even if she sent a letter. Unexpectedly, she not only came, but also killed everyone.
"It's almost time, Hong'er, go ask the nurse to bring the two children here."
Soon, two wet nurses came over carefully holding two one-month-old babies, fearing that they would bump or hurt the babies in their arms.
Among this group of officials' wives and noble ladies, Bu Ruo had the highest status, so the child was the first to be taken to her.
The two children in the cradle were still sleeping, but when they were brought to Bu Ruo, they both opened their eyes.
Wife of the Marquis of Guangling laughed and joked, "These two naughty monkeys have been crying and sleeping since they were born. It's rare for them to be so quiet when they open their eyes."
"Oh~ They're laughing~ Princess, you don't know, this is the first time these two children have laughed. They even ignored me, their mother."
"How adorable! You do have a connection with this princess."
Bu Ruo felt soft at heart as she looked at the two little babies smiling at her. She then extended her index finger and gently tapped the baby boy's brow. "Auntie wishes you a healthy and safe life. I hope you grow up to be a talented scholar and a military leader, a pillar of the Great Zhou, the emperor's right-hand man, and marry a virtuous wife and have many children and grandchildren."
Under the shocked gaze of the Guangling Marquis' wife, Bu Ruo once again placed her index finger between the baby girl's eyebrows. "It's your turn! Auntie wishes you a life free from illness and disaster, free from worries, and that all your dreams come true. May you find a good husband, grow old together, see the world's beauties, live under one roof with four generations, and enjoy the joy of family."
Others might think that Dang Bu Ruo was saying auspicious words, but the wife of Marquis Guangling knew that it was definitely not ordinary auspicious words, but... a blessing for the two children.
After Bu Ruo finished speaking, he took out a pendant made of two small red flowers and placed it in the hands of the wife of Marquis Guangling.
"Today at midnight, find a soft string to string these two flower pendants together and put them around their necks. The flowers are very soft and won't hurt the children's skin. You don't need to take them off when bathing or sleeping. They will keep them safe."
The wife of Marquis Guangling looked at Buruo in shock, then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times.
"You, Princess, saved these two children and brought them back to me. Now, you... The Marquis and I bow to thank you for your great kindness."
Bu Ruo helped the person up: "Madam, there is no need to do this. I have already said that you and I are destined to be together, and I also have a connection with these two children. Naturally, I will protect them within my ability."
