Chapter 9 Do you like Zhaorong?
Chapter 9 Do you like Zhao Rong?
As soon as these words were spoken, the new maids did not even dare to breathe.
Xu Ruyi was used to it. The empress dowager and the official family had been at odds for seventeen years. She had grown up in this quarrel. On one side was the empress dowager who adopted her, and on the other was her nominal father. If
If you cannot learn to play both sides, the end result will not be as simple as being splinted.
In fact, Xu Ruyi had already noticed that something was wrong, but it had already happened under her nose. She couldn't stay out of it and act like nothing happened.
She then coaxed Empress Dowager Jiang and said, "Grandmother, please calm down. Just leave this little matter to Zhao Rong. Don't let your anger hurt your body."
After Xu Ruyi said that, she stood up and asked, "Where is Aunt Chang?"
After saying this, Aunt Chang came in from outside the palace and saluted Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi said: "Follow me to Wenyuan Pavilion. I will personally teach you how to classify the eldest lady's documents. Then you can teach the maids under me. If you make a mistake next time, it will be really perfunctory."
Too lazy."
"Yes! I have remembered it!"
Xu Ruyi then stood up and wanted to take Aunt Chang away. At this time, Queen Mother Jiang added: "Su Deyi, you should also follow and learn a little bit."
Su Deyi, the eunuch beside Queen Mother Jiang, responded after hearing this, and then followed Xu Ruyi and left.
The plan really couldn't keep up with the changes. Xu Ruyi always had to deal with this incident suddenly, but as soon as she left, Jing Yu was the only one left in the palace.
It would be a lie to say that Jing Yu can remain calm at this moment.
He cursed secretly in his heart: Didn't Xu Ruyi, the one who killed a thousand swords, agree to listen to her command? But she suddenly left him and ran away halfway. Is this asking him to deal with the Queen Mother in front of him alone?
Jing Yu could feel the embarrassment in the air. The moment he met Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes, Jing Yu could only show an awkward yet polite smile.
Empress Dowager Jiang carefully picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. While putting the teacup down, she said: "The Third Prince Consort..."
How could Jing Yu dare to slight the Queen Mother? He quickly nodded and responded: "Hey!"
Queen Mother Jiang's eyes fell on this childish boy, looked at him carefully, and asked: "When did you and Zhao Rong meet?"
Jing Yu's heartstrings suddenly tightened.
He didn't understand the sophistication of the people in the harem, but he knew very well that without Xu Ruyi by his side, he was afraid that he would be in danger.
But right now, there is no other way but to improvise.
Jing Yu chuckled and said sincerely: "To say we know each other, I have probably heard of Princess Zhaorong a long time ago, but if we meet... To be honest, I met her for the first time yesterday.
"
"Never seen that before?"
Jing Yu made a sound: "Yes, but this is also in line with the general rules. Those who can meet each other before marriage are still a minority after all. Most people's marriages only meet when they wear hijab. But
, my grandson-in-law feels that he is quite lucky. The moment he picked up the hijab, he was really surprised by Zhao Rong."
"So, you have never met each other, and Zhaorong fell in love with you after seeing your portrait?" Empress Dowager Jiang asked with interest, "Is this what you young people often say?
Love at first sight?"
Jing Yu smiled and said: "Grandmother, your question is on point. My grandson-in-law also thought about this question when he was selected. But he thinks that love at first sight is unlikely. Your granddaughter, you know best,
She is a shrewd person, how could she make such a hasty and blind choice? So... is it possible that she has heard about her grandson-in-law's business deeds over the years, and that she also has an understanding of his character? After all,
This is not a boast of the grandson-in-law, but the grandson-in-law has devoted himself to being a good businessman who benefits the people over the years. He sells good products with good conscience and has a good reputation. Moreover, many female relatives in the palace have heard about the grandson-in-law, and they also
Many of them are repeat customers..."
Speaking of this, Jing Yu looked proud. As long as he didn't mention the dark history of the bookstore, his business career was quite successful.
Empress Dowager Jiang felt that the little prince consort was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers.
Isn't this an obvious attempt to avoid emotional issues and gradually turn the conversation to business?
Queen Mother Jiang could guess which concubines he wanted to say in his next sentence were his regular customers and what good things they bought.
If you're lucky, you might be able to sell your business to the Queen Mother once you complete the operation.
Empress Dowager Jiang had been in the palace for a long time and had never seen anything in the world. After chatting for a few words, she realized that this little consort seemed ignorant and willful, but in fact he had his own little thoughts.
Empress Dowager Jiang followed his words and replied: "This makes the Ai family a little curious. After all, the women in the palace are used to seeing good things. What novelty do you have to attract them?"
Jing Yu then took the initiative to sell: "My grandson-in-law has a lot of good things in his hands! Take this fragrance for example! To be honest, my grandson-in-law smelled it when he just entered the door. Grandma, you used red earth agarwood. This fragrant one."
The soothing effect is excellent, but my grandson-in-law discovered that you, Grandma Huang, are a person who loves life. You are different from those old people who stay in bed all day for recuperation. Before seeing you, my grandson-in-law could not make a conclusion, but after seeing you
Later, my grandson-in-law felt that your energy and complexion were very good, and you looked more energetic than ordinary old people, so you can also choose Qinan Agarwood to refresh your mind and prolong your life. If you get angry with these ignorant palace people on weekdays,
Afterwards, you can sink agarwood with water to calm your mind. There are many kinds of agarwood, and your grandson-in-law has all kinds of incense. If the imperial grandmother needs it, your grandson-in-law can send you some to try. Of course, you need to ask the imperial doctor before using it.
, choose the fragrance according to your personal constitution. After all, the imperial physician knows your physical condition best, and my grandson-in-law also hopes that you can be healthy, healthy, and eat deliciously!"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother laughed and said: "The Ai family seems to know why the female relatives are willing to buy your things. You are such a clever mouth, and you make the old bones of the Ai family look like little girls!"
"Hey, Grandma Imperial, my grandson-in-law is speaking from the bottom of his heart. You look really energetic."
"Okay, Aijia has taken note of what you said."
Jing Yu chuckled, but unexpectedly she changed the topic the next moment and asked: "By the way, Third Prince Consort, do you like Zhao Rong?"
Jing Yu: "???"
Weren't they talking about sex? Why did the conversation suddenly come back?
This remark was so unexpected that Jing Yu couldn't help but wonder if he had said something wrong, causing her to lose interest in Chen Xiang's affairs.
Jing Yu thought that when Xu Ruyi was away, he would be able to chat with Empress Dowager Jiang, but Empress Dowager Jiang did not fall for his trap and changed the subject of conversation after a few words.
And this sentence can be described as soul torture.
To be honest, he didn't like Xu Ruyi, but he didn't hate her either.
He just didn't think they were a good fit.
His ideal marriage is to be able to stand out, be charming and wealthy, marry a gentle and virtuous wife, protect her from wind and rain, and protect her in peace for the rest of her life. The two of them support each other and stay together forever.
But it's obvious that Xu Ruyi is not his type, and she doesn't need a man who can protect her from wind and rain. She just wants a playmate who can relieve her boredom. If so, Jing Yu wants to help her find a better one in the future.
He who is obedient and lovable and can take good care of her cannot let this confused marriage continue to go wrong.
Therefore, when faced with Empress Dowager Jiang's question, he solemnly said: "Grandmother, my grandson-in-law feels that you asked this question a little too early."
