Chapter 221: Cheng’s elder brother?
The next day.
It was already noon when they finished breakfast. Rong Jinchen directly ordered Lu Wu to teach Lu Ruoyun's sister etiquette. Lu Wu immediately rubbed her hands, "Yes, Your Highness." Dare to displease her princess? She, Lu Wu, would definitely teach this unknowing Miss Lu a lesson in etiquette.
Su Zhenzhen found it a little funny, but did not stop him. She glanced at him angrily and said, "What? You still remember it?" Miss Lu's heart was probably about to be broken into pieces.
Lu Wu is a female official of the fourth rank, and she has received special training in etiquette. If Miss Lu receives etiquette training, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless, and her reputation will be better.
But in this process, it is inevitable to suffer a little.
The man pursed his lips and said, "Hmm." His deep phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of darkness flashed quickly in his eyes, and he lowered his head to look at her, "Qingqing, I'm going to find Lu Ruoyun later. You can play by yourself first, and I'll accompany you in the afternoon." He still didn't feel relieved.
Su Zhenzhen's peach blossom eyes curved, and she smiled as she played with his slender and distinct fingers. She looked down at her hands entwined with his and said, "Okay." She was used to it.
After all, Rong Jinchen also has important things to do, probably to deal with land surveying matters like before.
How could she have imagined that Rong Jinchen, a love-brained, narrow-minded and protective man of his wife, was not satisfied enough and wanted to have a competition with Lu Ruoyun.
Capital city.
The study of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Prince Jin Rong Jinyu looked at the inexplicable loss of his men, his face suddenly darkened: "Crown Prince." He secretly sent someone to guide Yu Jingli, the person who spread the rumor, and was banished from the capital for no reason.
How could he not know that this was a warning from Crown Prince Rong Jinyou? There would definitely be a counterattack next.
Suddenly, Prince Jin Rong Jinyu smiled and said, "Send someone to invite Mr. Hu over." It's time for them to make some careful plans.
And at this time in the Su Mansion.
A handsome young man in black passed through the gate of the Su Mansion, decorated with carved beams and painted rafters. He hesitated for a moment, a flicker of hesitation crossing his delicate features. He silently clasped his sword tightly and chose to leave...
The provincial capital.
Su Zhenzhen took Zijuan, Baishuang and others out for shopping and sightseeing. She wore a lilac cloud-patterned Huanhua brocade flowing skirt and a Lingyun bun. She simply wore a mutton-fat white jade crabapple flower hairpin and a mutton-fat white jade crabapple flower hairpin that Rong Jinchen had made last year.
She is so elegant and beautiful, even more charming than the crabapple blossoms in spring.
The frontier capital has also regained its prosperity in the past two years and is full of the atmosphere of human life.
Su Zhenzhen was picking up a fox mask from a stall. Beside her were Zijuan, Baishuang and the others, as well as her personal guards.
Otherwise, why is it said that Su Zhenzhen never encounters romantic interests when she goes out alone? Just looking at her demeanor, she is clearly someone powerful and influential who cannot be offended.
The palace's personal guards had ranks and regulated dress patterns. Furthermore, whenever they went somewhere, everyone in the city knew that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Princess were on patrol. How could there be such a reckless dandy?
Unless they conduct an incognito visit in advance.
That's why Rong Jinchen could feel at ease letting her go out alone, even though Su Zhenzhen felt that she was not alone, and there were more than ten or twenty people around her.
But the man miscalculated, because Su Zhenzhen still had old friends who knew her.
"Sister Su, is it really you?" A male voice was cheerful and charming, the tone was very surprising, and it sounded a little familiar. Su Zhenzhen turned her head in confusion and saw a tall man in red, his peach blossom eyes looking at her with a smile.
Su Zhenzhen was slightly stunned, "Who are you? Brother Cheng?" She hadn't seen him for many years and was a little hesitant to recognize him for a moment. She didn't expect that he could recognize her by looking at her profile?
The surrounding palace guards secretly gasped. How come General Huaiyuan seemed to know their princess? Would His Highness be angry that they hadn't protected her well?
Rong Jinchen fought with Lu Ruoyun feeling refreshed. Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go back home to have lunch with Qingqing.
Unexpectedly, he saw Gu Heng hesitating and looking at him, the man frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" Just say whatever you want to say, why be so shy?
Gu Heng looked at his prince with a bit of sympathy. Yesterday it was the princess who was jealous, and today it might be his prince's turn.
He couldn't help but light a candle for himself. He felt that he was quite sympathetic. "Your Highness, you must control your emotions when you return home later." He lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at Rong Jinchen. "The princess met her childhood sweetheart, your subordinate General Huaiyuan Cheng Ye." General Huaiyuan was a third-rank official, and Cheng Ye was only twenty-three years old this year, very young.
Gu Heng also found out from Lu Wu that the things he had investigated were all embellished versions. No wonder so many people came to the Su family, Su Jun and Su Yu. He thought they valued the power and status of Prime Minister Su, but he didn't expect that their ulterior motives were other than drinking.
His Highness acted really quickly.
Rong Jinchen's Adam's apple rolled, his fists clenched unconsciously, and his tone was hoarse, "What's your reaction, Qingqing?" Aren't they just childhood sweethearts? He wasn't afraid of Xie Cijing, so why would he be afraid of this?
Gu Heng was silent. "General Huaiyuan is very eloquent. According to Lu Wu, he made the princess laugh." He couldn't say that the princess didn't laugh. Otherwise, if the prince returned home and saw the princess smiling at another man, he, Gu Heng, would be the one who suffered!
Anyway, the princess is not wrong. The one who is wrong is General Huaiyuan. Who made him not know how to keep a distance from a married woman?
Rong Jinchen's residence.
Su Zhenzhen was sitting in the main hall entertaining Cheng Ye, because he said he was here to see His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and it was almost time for lunch.
The atmosphere in the Qin Dynasty is quite open, and she is not alone with Cheng Ye. It is only a matter of an incense stick's time. If she avoids him on purpose, it will make her look guilty.
She had just learned that Cheng Ye was actually Rong Jinchen's subordinate, and at the age of 23, he was promoted to the third-rank Huaiyuan General, one level higher than her second brother.
But she was also a little proud. If it weren't for the fact that the coach was young and loved talents, how could the young subordinates come to prominence so quickly?
Tian Yide, Marquis of Anyuan, was granted the title of marquis at the age of twenty, Lu Ruoyun was a second-rank general at the age of twenty-two, her second brother Su Yu was granted the title of fourth-rank General Mingwei at the age of twenty, and Cheng Ye was granted the title of third-rank General Huaiyuan at the age of twenty.
But the most amazing one is her man, who became a hero before he even reached the age of twenty. He is so handsome.
It was also because his edge was too sharp that she ignored the other four people.
When Cheng Ye saw her admiring expression when she heard him talking about His Royal Highness Prince Yan's military deeds, his heart ached, but he then pretended to be calm and continued speaking.
Rong Jinchen strode towards the main hall. He wanted to see what Cheng Ye was doing in the name of looking for him.
The man pursed his lips tightly. Three years ago, when he heard that Cheng Ye's sweetheart was engaged, he secretly disdained it. He never expected that his sweetheart would be Qingqing!
