No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 234 Twin Shu + Poison Art
"Mrs. Rong, we meet again." Luo Jun replied with a smile.Then his eyes fell on Princess Mu next to him, and he said softly, "I've seen my mother."

Although it has been several days since he married into the Chu Palace, Luo Junyao has never met Princess Mu.

The reason why he was able to recognize the other party's identity was more because of the somewhat similar appearance of Xie Yan and the princess of Mu'an County who was among the group of people with a somewhat unsightly complexion.

In addition, although the huge Shangyonghuang City is full of outstanding people, it is not easy to find someone who is comparable in appearance to Bai Jingrong.

If there were other reasons for Bai Jingrong's reputation back then, then Princess Mu's title of Dongling Shuangshu really depended entirely on her face.

Princess Mu looked at Luo Junyao, her expression was neither cold nor friendly, as if she was looking at an insignificant stranger.

Princess Mu nodded lightly, and said, "You don't need to be too polite."

Luo Junyao didn't feel very good about this "mother concubine" and didn't want to talk to her, so he still looked at Bai Jingrong and said with a smile, "It's rare that Mrs. Rong also came to attend Prime Minister Ruan's birthday banquet."

Bai Jingrong smiled and said, "Prime Minister Dasheng's fiftieth birthday, I will naturally come to congratulate him. I just hope that Prime Minister Ruan and his wife will not blame us for coming uninvited."

Mrs. Ruan next to her hurriedly said: "How could it be? It is an honor for our Ruan family to have Mrs. Rong and Princess Mu come. Why don't you invite the two of you to the small building next door to drink tea?"

Bai Jingrong nodded in thanks, glanced at the girls gathered together, and asked with a smile: "Just now I heard that this place is very lively, I don't know what you were doing just now?"

Just now Luo Jun shook Madam Rong, the girls present naturally knew the identity of Bai Jingrong.

No one responded for a while, Bai Jingrong is the most typical negative case in their education, and of course Princess Mu is no exception.

Naturally, they were unwilling to talk to Bai Jingrong.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "It's nothing, we are all acquaintances and chat casually. Madam Rong, please."

Bai Jingrong looked at Luo Junyao with great interest, "Will Princess Chu accompany me?"

Luo Jun smiled and said, "Of course."

"Yao Yao." Qin Ning quickly grabbed Luo Junyao's hand, this Bai Jingrong is not a good person.

Luo Junyao gently squeezed her palm and smiled, "I'll drink tea with Mrs. Rong and Concubine Mother for a while, you can continue playing."

"..." You are a person who always drinks more sugar when drinking flower and fruit tea, what kind of tea do you drink with others?
Mrs. Ruan led them into a small building on the east side of the garden. This place is just opposite to the theater building at two corners of the garden. Although the sound of babbling and gongs and drums can also be heard, it is a little quieter.

A group of people went up to the second floor, and someone upstairs had already prepared all kinds of fresh fruit refreshments.

Mrs. Ruan waved the maids to retreat, leaving only Luo Junyao, Bai Jingrong, Princess Mu, Princess Mu'an, Ruan's mother and daughter, and four maids waiting upstairs. The small upstairs seemed much more spacious.

"Everyone, please sit down." Probably because Bai Jingrong has been demonized so much these years, even the prime minister's wife feels a little pressure to entertain her, not to mention that there is a Princess Mu who never goes out to socialize.

Mrs. Ruan is not yet forty this year, and she has been raised in a boudoir for the past ten years.Those things were also mentioned later, so she actually doesn't know much about Bai Jingrong and Princess Mu than Luo Junyao and other juniors.

Princess Mu walked to the side and sat down silently, but Bai Jingrong strolled to the window of the small building, looked at the girls playing and joking not far downstairs, and couldn't help sighing softly, "It's been so many years, I never thought that in this life I will come back. Seeing these fresh girls makes me really feel old."

Luo Junyao sat on the side, listening to her expressing emotion leisurely, drinking tea and not answering.

Bai Jingrong didn't feel embarrassed either, she turned her head and asked with a smile, "Princess Chu, do you think so?"

Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I'm only 16 years old, Madam Rong shouldn't be asking me this question."

Bai Jingrong was not angry either, walked up to Luo Junyao and sat down, looked at her leisurely and sighed: "Yes, sixteen...what a good age. When I was 16..."

Before she could finish speaking, Princess Mu suddenly said indifferently: "When you were 16 years old, didn't you help your brother in Yanzhou to harm others?"

Bai Jingrong looked up at Concubine Mu, smiled and said, "I've always had a small stomach, but... I have to remember little things for so many years, Miss Yao doesn't seem to be as pure, kind and tolerant as in the legend."

Concubine Mu snorted softly, picked up the teacup and drank the tea with downcast eyes, obviously she didn't want to pay attention to Bai Jingrong.

Bai Jingrong looked at Princess Mu with great interest, and then sighed after a long while: "Although you are inferior to me in every way, you are far superior to me in terms of having children. If I had a child like the regent, how could I... At the beginning, it was said that Miss Yao was born rich and honored, and her fate was one in a million, but now it seems that it is not false."

How can a stunning beauty endure another beauty saying that she is inferior to her in every way?
Concubine Mu said coldly: "Bai Jingrong, just relying on you, you dare to think about my mistakes. You don't want to see whether you are worthy or not!"

Bai Jingrong smiled even more heartily, "Your? Why don't you ask, does the Regent still want to recognize you? Don't be angry when I say this, the Regent is a talented person. It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes to have a mother like you. If he is my son, I wish I could snatch all the best things in the world to him."

"So, the Ninth Prince of the Qi Clan is not your son?" Princess Mu rarely showed a bit of sarcasm.

Luo Junyao blinked his eyes, it seems that Princess Mu's fighting power is not as weak as she imagined.

That is, is it appropriate for the two of you to come to Ruan's house to have a chat with each other when you have nothing to do?Didn't you see Mrs. Ruan's sitting on pins and needles?
Although Mrs. Ruan still had a dignified smile on her face at this time, she was already crying secretly in her heart.

These two came suddenly and uninvited, and they can't drive people out if they come.But you two came here to say what the hell is going on?Is this something they can listen to?

Bai Jingrong didn't know whether he was poked in a sore spot or what, the smile on his face faded by nine points.She snorted lightly, and said lightly: "Yao Yun, you are still so annoying. If it weren't for your fate to be protected, you would have died hundreds of times."

Concubine Mu's face changed slightly, she gave Bai Jingrong a hard look but she didn't choke back.

Luo Junyao saw it, thoughtful.

Princess Mu seems to be a little afraid of Bai Jingrong, which is interesting.

Luo Jun raised his eyes and said with a smile: "My concubine never likes to go out. I haven't even been to the Prince Regent's mansion since I passed the door. Why do I want to celebrate Xiang Ruan's birthday today?"

She was asking Princess Mu, but she looked at Princess Mu'an.

Princess Mu'an glanced at everyone present, and said softly: "Previously... Mrs. Rong visited the father and mother at the mansion, and then the mother said that she would come with Mrs. Rong to celebrate Ruan Xiang's birthday."

She didn't know what Bai Jingrong said to Princess Mu in order to persuade her to go out.

Concubine Mu lowered her eyes to avoid Luo Junyao's gaze, and said, "I haven't gone out for a long time, so I'm going out for a walk."

It was also the first time Princess Mu saw this daughter-in-law, but somehow she was a little afraid of her.

Although Luo Junyao was exquisite and beautiful, like a fairy girl next to a fairy, Princess Mu faintly felt that there was an aura about her that made her fearful.This feeling was very similar to when facing Xie Yan, Princess Mu didn't know if it was because of herself or because she always stayed with Xie Yan.

She felt that Luo Junyao was more dangerous than Xie Yan, so she didn't want to conflict with this daughter-in-law.

Luo Jun shook his head slightly, and looked at Bai Jingrong with a smile.

Bai Jingrong smiled and said: "Princess Mu and I are old acquaintances, it's rare to come back to visit old friends."

Isn't it old acquaintance?Back then, Bai Jingrong almost became Princess Mu's sister-in-law.

Luo Jun shook his head, "So that's the case, then wish Madam Rong and Concubine Mother the old friends reunite and have a good chat?"

Bai Jingrong nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

The atmosphere in the small building was really uncomfortable, Princess Mu didn't like to talk and sat drinking tea by herself.Princess Mu An, the mother and daughter of the Ruan family couldn't get in the way, so Luo Junyao and Bai Jingrong could only chat awkwardly throughout the whole process.

But a person like Bai Jingrong, who speaks every word, wants to get something out of her mouth, unless she is willing to tell you.

Just when Luo Junyao felt bored and was about to run away, some noise came from downstairs.

Luo Jun shook his ears and said, "Let her come up."

It is Linglan.

After a while, Ling Lan came upstairs with a thud, glanced at the door, and everyone quickly walked up to Luo Junyao, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Yao'er is fighting with someone."

Luo Jun shook his eyebrows slightly, "Fight? Who can she beat?" Qin Yao'er's skills are really not very good. It is said that the lightness kung fu is good because of hard work to escape.

Linglan glanced at Bai Jingrong and said, "Poisonous scorpion."

Naturally, Bai Jingrong also heard her words, and turned his head to look over.

Luo Junyao was not in a hurry, and asked leisurely: "Can you beat me? Do you want to help?"

Linglan was speechless, and Bai Jingrong asked curiously, "Don't the concubine ask why they are fighting?"

Luo Junyao said as a matter of course: "This is Shangyong. Who is right and who is wrong is a matter for later. If she loses now, wouldn't she lose the face of the princess and the Prince Regent's House?"

Bai Jingrong was also taken aback by her righteous nonsense, and soon came back to his senses, smiled and said: "The princess is threatening me?" Luo Junyao was warning her, they are outsiders, don't go too far?
Bai Jingrong's interest in this little girl became stronger for a while.Would a person like Xie Yan like a little girl with such a personality?
Luo Jun said: "Mrs. Rong's words are strange. When did I threaten you? I mean, if she loses, I will chop her up when I go back."

"I didn't know that the princess cared so much about winning or losing? The regent seemed to have lost before, but I didn't see the princess caring so much?" Bai Jingrong laughed.

Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Did Mr. Qu accompany Madam to Ruan's house today?"

Bai Jingrong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Mr. Qu is my friend, how can I let him do some bodyguard work with me from time to time? I heard from Musa that the Yao'er girl has superb poison skills, so she must be from a famous family? Don't worry about the princess. "

Luo Junyao said indifferently: "Who knows, Mrs. Rong sit down for a while, I'll go and have a look."

Bai Jingrong was about to say something, but Luo Junyao had fled from the window in a blink of an eye.

Ling Lan quickly followed behind her and jumped out of the window.

"..." The few people in the small building were speechless for a while, and Madam Ruan couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, regretting bringing these people here just now.She should have led the people directly to the theater building just now, and the crowds there can avoid these verbal confrontations and difficulties at this time.

Bai Jingrong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a broken smile and said, "The young girl is really lively and has a quick temper. This skill...is worthy of being the beloved daughter of General Luo."

Madam Ruan responded with a dry smile, but Bai Jingrong had already set her eyes on Ruan Yueli who was sitting next to Madam Ruan, and said sweetly, "Is this the daughter of Xiang Xiang and Madam Ruan?"

Madam Ruan nodded and said, "That's right, this is the little girl Yueli."

Bai Jingrong looked at Ruan Yueli carefully for a while, nodded and smiled, "Very good, I heard that Miss Ruan is very talented and has such a good looks, madam is very lucky."

Madam Ruan felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't show it on her face, so she could only say: "Madam is absurd."

On the other side, Luo Jun shook out of the small building and walked to a remote place before stopping. She glanced around and called out, "Lengshuang."

When Linglan caught up with her, she saw a beautiful woman who was obviously of alien blood standing in front of her princess.

Linglan glanced at her vigilantly and did not speak, Luo Junyao waved at her and said, "It's okay, my own."

Leng Shuang glanced at Linglan, and then quickly turned her gaze back to Luo Junyao, "Princess, what are your orders?"

Luo Junyao asked: "Why did Bai Jingrong and Princess Mu come to Ruan's house together?"

Leng Shuang said: "Bai Jingrong went to Prince Mu's mansion before coming to Ruan's house, and Princess Mu went out with her afterwards."

"What did they say?" Luo Junyao asked as he walked out.

Leng Shuang said: "The relationship between these two people should not be very good. They are all sarcasm. No matter how much private words are said, the people around them will not hear them. This matter has already been reported to the prince, and the prince said that it should not be ignored."

Xie Yan said don't bother, then it's no big deal.

Luo Jun shook his head, lowered his head and thought for a while before asking: "Is the ninth prince of the Qi clan here today?"

Leng Shuang said: "Here we are, but not with Bai Jingrong. This Ninth Prince...has a bad relationship with Bai Jingrong. In the past few days since Bai Jingrong came to Shangyong, the two of them have only met twice."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Bai Jingrong threw his son out as a hostage. It's strange that the relationship is good." After thinking for a while, he said: "You guys think of a way to lure Ji Rong to meet Bai Jingrong."

Leng Shuang was taken aback for a moment, "Does the princess want to?"

Luo Jun said: "I didn't think about anything. Bai Jingrong cares so much about A Yan and Princess Mu, how can he ignore his son? Remember, you have to watch them carefully in public."

Leng Shuang cupped her hands, and when she saw that Luo Junyao had nothing to do, she withdrew.

Watching Lengshuang disappear behind the flower garden, Luo Junyao turned around and asked, "Where is Yao'er? How did you meet the poisonous scorpion?"

Linglan said: "By the bamboo forest in the backyard, it was Musa who took the initiative to trouble Yaoer."

Luo Jun frowned slightly, "Go and have a look."

By the bamboo forest in the Ruan family's back garden, Qin Yao'er and Musa stared at each other with gloomy expressions.

Behind Qin Yao'er, Feng Jianxiu frowned worriedly and looked at Qin Yao'er's petite figure that did not reach Musa's chest.

"Who are you?" Musa asked coldly.

There are a lot of strange red spots on his neck, people will think that he has some strange disease at a glance, and they can't wait to avoid it.But Feng Jian, who was standing opposite, knew that the man didn't have these red spots on his neck just a moment ago.

Qin Yao'er lifted her chin with a bit of complacency and smiled, "Guess, I'll give you the antidote if you guess right."

Musa snorted softly and said, "Small tricks, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Qin Yao'er shook a silver bell in her hand, and said with a smile, "I don't care if you're afraid or not. I'm younger and stronger than you. I'll kill you sooner or later!" Killing intent, as if it was a joke.

Musa's gaze was fixed on the bell in his hand, and he said sharply, "Give me what you have in your hand!"

Qin Yao'er seemed to be provocative, and shook him a few more times before putting it away, "Want? If you have the ability, grab it."

Musa was also polite, and really rushed towards her.

Qin Yao'er's figure flickered, and she floated away like a dead leaf in the wind, "Sister Fengjian, stay away, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Feng Jian backed away silently.

The fight between these two people is different from others. Before the prince and others fought in the mansion, the martial arts arena was in a mess.

These two people did not have such a great destructive ability, but where they fought, the flowers and plants either withered instantly or turned into coke.Even the bamboo next to it is full of mottled, and the emerald green bamboo leaves are withering one after another.

When Luo Jun came over, he saw Feng Jian was staring at a stone beside him in a daze. There was a dark hole in the stone.

Not far away, the two were still fighting in the dark.

Luo Jun shook his head and saw that these two were weak chickens, and it was better to say that they were fighting than fighting.

Could it be that people who use poison are not skilled?

"Princess, be careful!" Feng Jian quickly pulled her away, glanced at the two people not far away, swallowed his saliva, and said, "It's poisonous, it's...they just made it."

I don't know what it is, but it just splashed a little bit on the stone, and the stone was burned out of a pit.

Luo Junyao looked at it, but didn't really care.

She knows something about such a strong corrosion ability.

but……

"Aren't they afraid of accidentally messing with themselves?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

"I won't do it to myself!" Seeing Luo Junyao's figure, Qin Yao'er immediately abandoned Musa who was fighting and ran towards Luo Junyao.

"Princess! I won!" Qin Yao'er said happily.

Musa sneered behind him and said, "Why do you say you won?"

Qin Yao'er said: "I've cured your poison, but you haven't cured mine. Could it be that I won?"

Luo Jun took a look at the strange red spots on Musa's neck, raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Good job. Today is Xiang Xiang's birthday party, stop making trouble, let's go."

Qin Yao'er felt refreshed after winning Musa, and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, princess!"

The three turned to leave, but Musa behind him refused to give up.

Musa said coldly: "Stop, hand over Tianluoling!"

Qin Yao'er stopped in her tracks, she didn't turn her head, but Luo Junyao and Feng Jian who were standing beside her saw that immature face suddenly turned cold and gloomy.
