Chapter 276 Who do you want to compete with?
Bu Ruo smiled as she drank her tea, "Sign? Who do you want to sign with? Grandpa Du? What do you want to sign?"
"Grandpa Du knows martial arts, but you don't. Beating you is like playing. Grandpa Du can develop poisons and antidotes, but you don't. What's more, he is your master, so you can't beat him at all."
"Hmm...how about you show me how to make medicinal food, which you're good at? You can't do that either. Grandpa Du couldn't cook before, but he's learned it since he had the two little ones. The food is so delicious that it makes my mouth water just looking at it."
"Let alone money, the few cents in your purse aren't even enough to match Grandpa Du's. What else can you offer?"
Jin Congcong stiffened his neck: "Compared to...compared to sweeping the floor, dusting and cleaning!"
Before Bu Ruo could say anything, Doctor Du's voice rang out from the room: "Then you win. This old man can't compare to you. After all, I wasn't a sweeping immortal in my previous life."
Jin Congcong: ...
"You have no moral integrity, old man! We agreed not to mention that I was a sweeping fairy in my past life, and you're bringing it up again!"
Guo Lu was a bit confused: "What is a sweeping fairy? Is there a fairy who sweeps the floor?"
Jin Congcong: "Ruo'er, don't say that!"
Bu Ruoke ignored him: "Of course there are. Immortals have positions, just like a royal palace, with a doorman, a housekeeper, and a sweeper. The sweeping immortal in heaven is the sweeper."
Jin Congcong covered his face: "Wow... My reputation is completely ruined. The only person who didn't know that I was a sweeping fairy in my previous life now knows it."
Bu Ruo smiled and comforted him: "What's the big deal? After all, you were an immortal in your previous life. A sweeping immortal is also an immortal. You shouldn't feel ashamed, you should feel honored."
Jin Congcong wanted to cry: "What can I be proud of? In front of you, a disciple of God, what can I be proud of? Even the prince is a caterpillar. What can I, a sweeper, be proud of?"
Bu Ruo spat out the tea with a "pu" sound. Caterpillar... She later noticed that Xiao Yulan was acting strangely and went to ask Cen Nan. That was not a caterpillar, it was clearly a dragon. It was just that Jin Congcong was dizzy and didn't see it clearly. But she didn't intend to tell Jin Congcong the truth.
Guo Lu: ???!!!!
She knew that the princess was a disciple of God, but how could the prince be a caterpillar? Did the prince know that he was a caterpillar?
Bu Ruo smiled silently and looked at Guo Lu: "Yesterday, the prince said that we will be traveling together with the Beining envoys and others. You will meet sooner or later. You should be mentally prepared."
Guo Lu nodded, but the hatred in her eyes could not be suppressed: "Don't worry, Princess, I will not ruin your plan. I will try my best to be patient."
Bu Ruo patted her hands and said, "Why should you endure it? You don't have to. There's no such thing as swallowing your anger with someone around me. Just spare her life for now. You can do whatever you want, but I promise that when the day comes, this mother and daughter will be kept alive for you, so that you can avenge your mother with your own hands."
Guo Lu looked at Buruo gratefully: "Thank you, Princess. I don't know what to say. I can only repay you with the rest of my life."
What Bu Ruo didn't say was that she had actually seen Guo Lu's future marriage, which was really interesting.
Although she had used Jin Congcong and tried to steal the border defense map in the past, she never took anyone's life and never really harmed anyone. After she surrendered to him, she secretly helped poor families along the way, which could be considered as accumulating merit for herself.
Bu Ruo thought about it and looked at the person counting ants outside the window and sighed. They were both doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, but looking at him and then looking at him, it was really hard to describe.
After lunch, Bu Ruo took Guo Lu out and happened to see the two children who had just returned at the door of the inn.
"Mom, where are you going? Take Bubu and brother with you."
Bu Ruo took the two children's hands and got on the carriage: "Mom wants to visit her aunt, so let's go together."
Bier had been following Buruo for the longest time, and when she heard what Buruo said, she directly told the driver an address.
After a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the gate of a mansion.
Bi'er went up and knocked on the door. The doorman was stunned when he saw the few people there: "Who are you looking for?"
"My master is an old friend of your wife. He came here from Kyoto to visit."
When the doorman heard that someone was from Kyoto, he did not dare to delay and hurried in to call for help. Soon, a sound of footsteps came from afar and it was obvious that they were running.
"Princess, it's really you..."
Concubine Shun went up and hugged the person tightly for a long time, unwilling to let go, until the man following behind said: "Ning'er, if you hold on any longer, the princess will be strangled to death."
Concubine Shun turned around and glared at the man fiercely before reluctantly letting him go. She grabbed Bu Ruo's hand as if she was afraid he'd run away, "Come on, let's go in. Oh, are these your two children? I heard you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and you sent a gift to congratulate them. This is the first time I've seen them."
"These two children are so good-looking, they look just like you and the prince. Come on, let's have dinner here today, or you can just stay here. I have plenty of rooms here so we can have a good chat."
Bu Ruo was helplessly dragged into the mansion and directly to the main hall.
"Cui Hang, thank you so much, Princess, for saving my life."
As soon as Bu Ruo sat down, the man knelt in the middle of the hall and kowtowed three times, which scared Bu Ruo.
"General Cui, please get up quickly. What are you doing? Didn't you see Concubine Shun is not being polite to me?"
"Besides, it was Concubine Shun who protected your body back then. Otherwise, even if I wanted to bring you back to life, there would be no way."
Concubine Shun glanced at the man, her love hidden in her eyes, then looked at Bu Ruo: "Stop calling me Concubine Shun. We may not be close friends in terms of age, but I am older than you after all. It's okay for you to call me sister, right?"
"Um...if you feel at a disadvantage, I can call you sister."
Bu Ruo was speechless. She had never realized that Concubine Shun would let herself go like this after leaving the palace.
"Don't suffer any loss, don't suffer any loss, Sister Ning."
Bu Ruo: Your son is a few years older than my prince, so it’s okay for me to call you aunt.
Seeing that they had something to say, Cui Hang tactfully retreated, leaving the space for the two of them. Bu Bu and Xiao Jin were also taken by Bier and Meiying to play in the yard.
"You look so radiant. You must have had a good time these past few years. Oh, and you're pregnant?"
Zong Ning entered the palace when she was a teenager and was pregnant that year. Although she is now in her forties, she looks only in her early thirties due to proper maintenance over the years.
"Yeah, I wasn't planning on having another one, but now that he's here I'll definitely treat him well. I just don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but I'm hoping it's a girl."
Bu Ruo looked at her loving face and then chuckled: "You are so lucky, you really looked forward to it."
