Chapter 340 This is my promise to you
The girl who came in had a sweetheart-shaped face, and her curved Liu Yuemei smiled and made her sweeter. She looked very different from the Rong Ma family who grew up in the border area.
If the Rong Ma family has the rough and elegant appearance of women in the northwest region, then the girl in front of her is as beautiful as the beauty of the body walking out of the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
If you insist on finding the shortcomings in this extremely pleasing face, it is the eyes.
As people say, eyes are the window of the soul. The girl's black eyes are bright, but the brightness reveals a bit of indescribable smell, making people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze and occasionally the cold wind can be seen.
From the slight details, we can see that the Xiao family spent a lot of effort and thought on cultivating this daughter. It was a pity that she failed to become the crown prince’s step-concubine in her previous life. However, compared to the girl in front of her, she still missed the crown prince’s step-concubine in her previous life more. She was a little carefree but hard and soft girl.
In the last life, the queen had put all her thoughts into choosing a second wife for her son. Of course, she had also put all her thoughts into this life, but this thought was not that kind of thought, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a completely different sentence.
When Rong Jingqiu knew that she was looking at Xiao Ling secretly, Xiao Ling was also looking at him, as if she was fighting silently.
When Xiao Ling arrived, she saw Rong Jingqiu's appearance more clearly, and she was more intuitive about her beauty. She was indeed a good color.
"The little woman has met the prince's concubine..."
After all, she has not officially become the step-concubine of the crown prince, so she still adheres to the principle of low-key behavior and comes forward to greet Rong Jingqiu.
Rong Jingqiu reacted very quickly. When she was about to bend her knees to perform blessings, she immediately stood up and held her knees that she would not allow, and held the other person's hand with a smile, "What are Miss Xiao doing? I can't stand your gift."
It’s not that the person from your Xiao family can act, but she can do it. It’s not that she just smiles more and is more friendly and more friendly. It’s not difficult.
Xiao Ling was stunned at first, but later when she heard what she said, the smile on her face was a little less polite. This future sister-in-law is the one she has met the most comforting thing these days, and it is even more satisfying than the fourth princess Wu.
When those sisters-in-law paid tribute to the queen, she almost recognized them all. Of course, she had to be polite. After all, she was not the princess, but those who were relying on her seniority received her tribute safely, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but she had to endure it in front of the queen, and she didn't like those older sisters-in-law in her heart.
The princess of Fanbang, who is about her age, was confined. He was pregnant and did not have to pay tribute to the queen. Rong Jingqiu was an excuse to recover from the injury, so she had never had the chance to meet these three people. She could not condescend to see them. She was the crown princess and was much nobler than them.
"The courtesy cannot be abolished..." she said hypocritically.
Rong Jingqiu responded with a smile, "That's right, but those couples are all outsiders. You are almost my family. How can you still be so polite?" Turning to look at Xiao Xu, who is smiling, "Madam Xiao, do you think this is the reason?"
"I keep doing your housework." Xiao Xu waved his hand, which was also a joke.
Rong Jingqiu narrowed her eyes slightly. If the ordinary stepmother said this, she would have been sprayed to death by outsiders. How anxious would she be to marry her stepdaughter?
But if you put it on the royal family, this is a compliment. If you can get married with the royal family, that is glory.
"Mother." Xiao Ling called Xiao Xu as if she was unyielding.
Xiao Xu shrugged her shoulders and said she could not help.
When Rong Jingqiu saw this scene, she burst out laughing.
"Okay, you make fun of me." Xiao Ling said to Rong Jingqiu as if she was reacting.
"Miss Xiao, don't be upset. I think you mother and daughter get along so easily and harmoniously, and I feel envious." Rong Jingqiu explained.
Xiao Ling's expression suddenly became stiff and soon covered it again. Then she burst out with a "puchi" laugh, "I'm just teasing you. I've seen many people during the time I went to Beijing, but the only one who made me feel like I was the ninth prince's concubine."
Rong Jingqiu suddenly heard the meaning of Xiao Ling's words, which was to show her goodwill, and to show that everyone would ride on the same boat, she would not smash the bottom of the boat and harm her own people, so that she could rest assured and return this meaning to the Rong family.
"That's my honor." She immediately smiled.
Xiao Ling was also very satisfied with this answer. At this stage, she would not be hostile to the Rong family. Only by working hard can we go further. Internal fighting must be a future.
For a moment, both of them laughed happily.
Afterwards, after seeing Rong Jingqiu off, Xiao Xu said to Xiao Ling, whose face was shattered, "This Rong is not simple. You can't be careless when dealing with her in the future."
"I know." Xiao Ling leaned on the soft pillow behind her a little tired.
What Xiao Xu was most satisfied with Xiao Ling's stepdaughter was that she could listen to the advice and would not jump around with self-righteousness. This would be possible. Otherwise, she would not have made any efforts to promote this marriage. She would have spent a lot of effort on this, especially when she was still in the border area.
"By the way, it doesn't matter whether Princess Fanbang meets her or not, but I don't need to go and meet her if I don't want to go?"
When Xiao Xu heard this, he smiled coldly, "No, the eighth prince retired from the battle for the throne early. This person's value is limited, so there is no need to hold his wife's room." After a pause, Xiao Xu continued, "Of course, you still have to do the previous skill, don't let people criticize you for your dish."
When Xiao Ling heard this, she said impatiently, "You don't need to teach this principle, I understand it too."
She had to be humble and tolerant before climbing to the throne of the queen.
Xiao Xu no longer spoke, after all, she was still a little girl. No matter how she pretended, she was just as cunning as that. She was not as thoughtful as Rong Jingqiu. Judging from the two dealings, it was probably not easy to take advantage of her.
While others were discussing themselves, Rong Jingqiu also talked to her about the prince's step-concubine when she visited He.
He sighed, "Like this, I'm probably not a difficult person, but when I think about the possibility of pretending, I feel a little panicked." After all, she knows how much her husband has. She expects her to follow his husband and his wife to be honored, and she still expects a stable life to come.
"There is nothing to be afraid of, and you can't get in the way of her. What would she do to you?" Rong Jingqiu was afraid that she would think a lot, so she said to calm her heart.
"That's right, I'm self-righteous." He smiled, with a bit of bitterness in her smile. She had never thought of letting her husband take the supreme position, but at least she could do better.
Rong Jingqiu looked at the hour inside the hourglass, stood up and supported He and said, "Time is up, I will accompany you to the yard for a walk."
He did not refuse, and chatted with her while walking. Since she was pregnant, her family has often come to the prince to visit her. Other sisters-in-law have face, so only Rong Jingqiu will come to talk to her from time to time to relieve her boredom, which makes it difficult for her to not be moved.
She originally kept Rong Jingqiu for dinner, but Rong Jingqiu declined. But she was about to send someone out, but she saw her husband coming in with the ninth prince. She was stunned for the first time, and then her eyes turned around Zhao Yu and Rong Jingqiu, and joked, "It took only half a day to find His Highness Ninth, and you two really can't be separated for a while."
Rong Jingqiu glared at Zhao Yu, who asked him to come? Look, it’s all you blamed for being laughed at.
Zhao Yu looked at Rong Jingqiu with a good temper, as if he was saying OK, it was all my fault. As long as you were happy, you would be willing to take any charge.
He looked at the lawsuit between the two of them and could guess it. Especially when he saw Rong Jingqiu's slightly red face, he didn't know whether he was annoyed or embarrassed. He was not good at joking anymore, so he stopped when he saw that it was good and grabbed Rong Jingqiu's hand and walked towards the warmer, "Now you have to stay here and go back for dinner."
Rong Jingqiu didn't argue with her, but said unceremoniously, "I have to order food, you can't cry poor."
"Just make it." He looked rich and generous.
Rong Jingqiu glanced at her and knew that it was not easy to live here. She had to spend money to make a living everywhere to live well. Otherwise, the eunuchs and palace maids who worshiped high and lowered were not vague at all. Especially the eighth prince and his wife did not have enough money to have money. After all, the income was limited, and the eighth prince of He's dowry would not be used, which would damage his face as a big man.
Therefore, she was very skilled in ordering dishes, not only to protect He's face, but also not to let them spend more money. This level must be well controlled.
He was not that delicate in mind and did not notice such small actions as Rong Jingqiu.
After dinner, Zhao Yu took Rong Jingqiu back. He was so stubborn that he didn't see him off. The eighth prince took him away before he turned around.
He then took out the matter about the Xiao family as a gossip before going to bed, but the eighth prince looked at her seriously and said, "No matter what others do, you only remember one thing that should not be mixed with. You are not allowed to get involved in anything we shouldn't get involved." After a pause, he added, "I know that this is wronged you, so bear it. After the dust settles, we will always have a day to make a comeback."
He heard this, He opened his eyes wide instantly. She never thought about her husband's weakness. That's right, otherwise how could he not have made a reputation over the years?
When the saint ordered the marriage, his father once said that the eighth prince was once glorious when he was studying in the study room when he was a child, but later it gradually disappeared from everyone.
At that time, she didn't understand this sentence, thinking that her father said that she was willing to calm her heart and made her willing to be in the marriage. Now that she thought about it, her father's words seemed to have the true meaning.
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing her husband turn his head and ask her, He looked at the night outside, then smiled and said, "What else can I think? I miss what you just told me, don't worry, I won't hold you back."
These words pleased the Eighth Prince. He held his wife with a big belly in his arms with some emotion, "I know your goodness, don't worry, no one can pass you in this life. This is my promise to you."
He leaned in her husband's arms and said "hmm" lightly, which was enough. She had never imagined that she could be together for a lifetime, and she had to live a steadily life. Thinking about these unrealistic things are harmful to others and themselves.
Zhao Yu in the carriage held Rong Jingqiu and said, "The wedding of Daqiansui is coming soon. If anyone invites you to help, you will refuse to leave. We will have a wedding banquet at that time."
Rong Jingqiu suddenly looked up at him, "Is it because the Yan family girl is so hostile to me?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows to look at her.
Rong Jingqiu frowned and said, "I'm most afraid of meeting such an unreasonable person. If I don't provoke her, she'd better not provoke me."
Zhao Yu held Rong Jingqiu's hand and played with it, as if he was careless, "Of course, if she insisted on hitting her, you can chop her claws, and I will bear all the big things for you."
Rong Jingqiu laughed twice, and she didn't want to give her instructions, nor did she plan to get angry with the Yan family's daughter.
As expected, she was about to declare that she was sick, and the second princess Lu, the third princess Zou and the fourth princess Wu came to ask her to go to Daqiansui's mansion to help.
Rong Jingqiu was glad that she had put on haggard makeup in advance, held her handkerchief and coughed a few times, then said with a weak look, "It's really a coincidence that she was greedy for a while and was infected with the cold... Cough cough... I'm afraid I can't go to Daqiansui to help, I hope my sister-in-law will understand."
"It's so pitiful, this little face is pale." Wu stepped forward and gently stroked her forehead, then said with a caring look on his face, "How can I feel uncomfortable? I'll recommend you an imperial physician who can treat wind and cold..."
Rong Jingqiu didn't like Wu's behavior, so she turned her head slightly to avoid her hand, "Thank you for your concern, the imperial physician who was admitted before was still capable, and it's not good to replace people in the middle. Besides, this disease cannot be urgent, and it will take so long to get rid of it..."
"That's the reason." Lu, the oldest, nodded immediately to agree to this remark, "Since you have prescribed medicine, it's not good to change the prescription in the middle. The ninth brother and sister should be at ease to recuperate. Don't miss the wedding at that time."
Rong Jingqiu nodded quickly. She must attend the wedding, and she did not want to criticize this aspect.
After seeing these sisters-in-law away, many people came to visit her. Rong Jingqiu could only grit her teeth and continue acting, and she would never see the clues.
"You are asking for trouble." Zhao Yu wiped the pale powder from her face with some disgust, revealing her white and pink complexion, and then there was a somewhat satisfied expression on her face.
Rong Jingqiu glared at him, "What else would you do? He refused to help him stubbornly? I'm afraid that the future princess will talk about me behind his back again, so why should I give her a handle?" By the way, she looked at the gifts on the table. They were all sent by the people who came to visit her.
Just as I saw that there was nothing special, I found a ginseng of a rather old age. She was not as young as 80 years old. The gift I gave her was too heavy. When I asked, I realized that it was sent by the Xiao family.
She frowned and pushed the box containing the old ginseng to Zhao Yu, "Look."
Zhao Yu didn't even glance at it, and said, "What did she give me? You just need to keep it."
