No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 439 Visit!

Luo Junyao doesn't want to make trouble for others, but it doesn't mean that trouble won't come to him by himself.

While chatting with Su Rui, the manager below came to report that Mrs. Cheng Enhou and Mrs. Wenchanghou asked to see her.

Luo Junyao and Su Rui were relatively silent. After a while, Su Rui smiled and said: "It seems that there are some things that cannot be avoided."

Luo Junyao snorted softly and said, "I hope they didn't come to trouble me."

Su Rui patted her hand comfortingly, smiled and said nothing, apparently not expecting it.

"Sister-in-law, will you accompany me?" Luo Junyao asked expectantly.

Su Rui shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm here to visit the Princess Regent. Is it not in the way?" While joking, Su Rui did not forget to pat her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you are the Princess Regent. They can't do anything to you."

Luo Junyao was depressed, of course she was not afraid of them, she was just afraid of trouble.

When Luo Junyao came to the flower hall in the front yard specially for entertaining female relatives, there were indeed several people sitting there.Mrs. Cheng Enhou, Luo Junyao naturally knew everyone, but the old woman sitting opposite Mrs. Cheng Enhou and the girl standing behind her were very strange.

Luo Jun knew in his heart that this old lady must be Mrs. Wenchang Hou, Princess Duankang.

Seeing Luo Junyao stepping into the flower hall, no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, everyone got up to salute, "I have seen the princess."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Excuse me, everyone. I came a little late and kept the distinguished guests waiting for a long time."

Luo Junyao walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at Madam Wenchang Hou calmly, and said with a smile: "Is this the old Madam Wenchang Hou?"

Mrs. Wenchang Hou is already over sixty years old, her gray hair is neatly tied into a bun, she only wears a emerald emerald embossed gold face, and she wears a light brown dress with cloud and auspicious patterns, her expression is solemn and her brows are slightly slightly Frown unsmilingly.

She is not young anymore, her face is full of wrinkles, her eyes are not as bright as those of young people, but they look very stern.

Inexplicably, Luo Junyao felt that she was very similar to the dean in junior high school in her previous life. The old man had been serious all his life, and his brows were often furrowed after retirement.

Mrs. Wenchang Hou nodded slightly, and said, "It's the minister's wife."

Luo Junyao smiled sweetly and said, "When did the Marquis Wenchang's family return to Shangyong? The prince never told me about the many things I usually do. It's a bit rude not to welcome the old lady."

Mrs. Wenchanghou lowered her eyes and said: "My concubine is serious. How can I bother the regent to ask about some trivial matters in the courtier's house."

Although this is a modest remark, it is actually true. Marquis Wenchang has passed away for more than 20 years, and now the Zhao family inherits the title of her son Wenchang Bo, who is just a local official from the fourth rank.

Now Wen Changbo is still in office and did not follow Mrs. Wenchang Hou to Shangyong. According to the family background of Wenchang Hou Mansion, if there is not this old lady with the title of Princess, it is really not worth the regent's mansion to ask.

Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and smiled: "That's what I said, but the old lady is an elder after all, so I still need to take the wind."

Madam Marquis Wenchang frowned when these words came out, she pondered for a while before saying: "The minister's wife is just a widow of the Zhao family, how dare she call herself the elders of the prince and concubine."

"..." I didn't see that you resigned from the title of princess, and you still receive the salary of the imperial court and royal family every year.

Luo Junyao is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so after exchanging some pleasantries, he got straight to the point, "The two ladies came to the door in person today, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Cheng Enhou said with a smile: "I would like to report to the princess, Yuxiu Academy will be officially opened in a few days, we have invited Mrs. Wenchanghou to be the head of the mountain. At that time, the princess will be invited to come and watch the ceremony."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Zhu Jin who was standing beside her, and Zhu Jin silently stepped forward and sent a post to Luo Junyao.

Luo Junyao had already seen this post in Anlan Academy in the morning, but he just took it and glanced at it, then put it on the table next to him, and said with a smile, "Then I would like to congratulate you two, I don't know when it will be?"

Madam Cheng Enhou said with a smile: "It will be five days later."

Luo Junyao frowned slightly when he heard the words, sighed softly and said: "It's really a coincidence, I have some things to deal with in five days, I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the ceremony, please forgive me."

Hearing that Mrs. Wenchanghou, who had lowered her eyes slightly, also raised her head to look at Luo Junyao, as if she was a little surprised at her rejection.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Madam Cheng Enhou's face, but she still smiled and said: "We know that the princess is a busy person, but this matter is also related to the future of many noble ladies in Shangyong. In the past, everyone was studying in the academy at this time. , now it’s embarrassing to have nothing to do at home. We also want to let these children have a place to play, learn something along the way, and ask the princess to show respect.”

After speaking, as if afraid of Luo Junyao's rejection, Mrs. Cheng Enhou said again: "The three eldest princesses also accepted the invitation to go."

The meaning of this is obvious, the three eldest princesses are going to go, but is it okay for a young junior to put on airs?
Luo Junyao was unmoved, and said with a slow smile: "I'm really sorry, my brother will leave Beijing to take up his post in five days, and as a younger sister, I always have to go and see him off, Ma'am, don't you?"

The smile on Madam Cheng Enhou's face froze, "This...is really unfortunate."

Speaking of Luo Jinyan's imminent departure from Beijing, Mrs. Cheng Enhou couldn't help but secretly hate her.

Luo Jinyan is only 25 and six years old, and he is already the governor of the second rank.

Cheng Enhou's mansion is still the family of His Majesty's uncle, not to mention that the family is of the same generation as Luo Jinyan, even Cheng Enhou himself is just a false title.Because of the incidents at the end of last year and the death of the Queen Mother, the Marquis of Cheng'en now has no real power at all.

How could Mrs. Cheng Enhou not be jealous?
"Prince Luo is really young and promising. General Luo and the princess are very lucky." Mrs. Cheng Enhou said with a bit of a smirk.

Luo Junyao smiled very happily, as if he didn't hear the sourness in her words, "Ma'am, I'm flattering you."

Mrs. Wenchanghou frowned, interrupted the hypocritical conversation between the two, and said: "Since the princess has no time to watch the ceremony, that's all. I'll leave when I interrupt you."

Luo Jun shook his head slightly to look at Mrs. Wenchanghou, and saw that she had stood up with the arm of the girl beside her, and she really looked like she was about to leave.

"So I'm so sorry, you two will go there in person." Luo Junyao ordered softly: "Steward, take the two ladies out."

The steward who was guarding the door responded, entered the door and said respectfully: "Yes, Wangfei. Please, Madams."

Mrs. Wenchang Hou paused for a moment, looked at Luo Jun and shook her eyes, then turned around and walked out while supporting the arm of the girl beside her.

Su Rui came in from the outside when the group of people had gone far away.Looking at Luo Jun who was sitting on the main seat and propped his chin in thought, he shook his head and said with a smile: "How?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "How about what?"

Su Rui smiled and said, "How about that Mrs. Wenchang Hou?"

Luo Jun frowned and shook his head, "I didn't see it."

"Didn't see it?" Su Ruiqi asked.

Luo Jun said: "I didn't say a few words at all. She looked very serious and a little arrogant. I really didn't see anything else."

Su Rui sighed and said: "That's true. When the princess was in Shangyong, it was said that she was a bit cold and arrogant. Now that she is older, she is old and strong. But the Zhao family hasn't returned to Beijing for more than 20 years. Do you think she will Just because those people from the Marquis of Cheng En's Mansion invited her, did she come all the way back to become the head of the mountain? She didn't like Anlan Academy before, and she may not like this newly opened Yuxiu Academy much."

Luo Junyao thought for a while, then smiled and said: "That's right, this madam should have felt from the bottom of her heart that girls shouldn't go out to study, whether it's learning the world or learning the three obediences and four virtues. Then why did she come back?"

Su Rui walked to the side and sat down, said with a smile, "Think for yourself."

Luo Junyao thought for a moment, then turned his eyes and said, "For the sake of the Zhao family?" This old lady may not care about her title and identity as princess, but since she claims to be a model of female morality, she has to care about the Zhao family future generations.

The situation of Wenchangbo Mansion is actually very similar to that of Chun'anbo Mansion, the titles are all lost in this generation.

Wen Changbo is now just a local official released from the fourth rank. If the descendants of the Zhao family have not made achievements in the imperial examination, they will not be able to do anything for the next generation with the current power and status of Wenchangbo's mansion.

Of course, the Zhao family is a Liangzhou aristocratic family, and they can still live comfortably and comfortably on their own one-third of an acre of land behind closed doors, just like the Xiao family.

But the Xiao family has Xueyang Academy, and now there is an outstanding Xiao Cheng, these Zhao family does not have.

Su Rui said: "The Zhao family has two sons, both of whom have taken the imperial examination this year. Moreover, neither of them is married yet."

Luo Junyao understood instantly, "Sister-in-law, you are much more informed about this news than me, the princess regent."

Su Rui smiled and said: "Most of these people's previous generations had some friendship with their grandfather, and the Su family will naturally pay attention to some of their news. When I went out, I asked someone to go back to the Su family to ask. The news that you came to see the Hakka family just happened to be delivered. Come here. The Zhao family just sent a post, and the old lady of Wenchang Hou will take the two sons to visit my grandfather the day after tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the day for Su Rui to return home, it's polite for the Zhao family to avoid seeing how much they can see.

Luo Junyao's younger siblings thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Are there still a few girls in the Su family waiting in their boudoirs?"

Su Rui raised her hand to pat her, and said with a smile: "It is true that there are a few younger sisters waiting in the boudoir, but most of them have been engaged. The sixth younger sister is not engaged, but she has just turned 14 and is a concubine. The Zhao family may not be able to see it." superior."

Su Rui doesn't have any direct sisters, the sixth younger sister she mentioned is her concubine's cousin.

After seeing off Luo Jinyan and Su Rui, Luo Junyao walked back slowly leaning on Xie Yan's arm.

Seeing her listless appearance, Xie Yan simply reached out to stop her slender waist and embrace her as she walked forward, "I want to leave Shangyong, are you reluctant?"

Luo Junyao thought for a while and nodded, "A little bit, brother. It's only been half a year since I returned to Shangyong, and I'm afraid it will be several years before I go back to Shangyong."

Xie Yan patted her vest reassuringly, Luo Junyao quickly raised his head and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a little bit of reluctance. The eldest brother must be happy to go to Huaizhou, and the sister-in-law is also very willing. Everyone has it." What you have to do."

There may be many people in this world who want to eat and wait to die, but there are also many people who want to move forward all the way.

Both Luo Jinyan and Su Rui are obviously the latter, otherwise there are not many playboys and delicate girls among Shangyong Xungui's children?The merits of the Luo family and the Su family are enough for them to live in peace and prosperity for a lifetime.

Xie Yan lowered his head and looked at her, "Why are you unhappy? Yuxiu Academy?"

"You also know?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "It seems that they have made a lot of noise this time."

Xie Yan said: "In the name of inheriting the queen mother's last wish, it is naturally not a small thing. This is obviously going to Anlan Academy, what is Yaoyao's plan?"

Luo Junyao said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter. No matter what they want to teach, I think the more places that accept girls to study, the better. As for what will happen in the end, who knows if you don't try it? Yuxiu Academy has Mr. Zhang and others Take care of it, sir, I am more concerned about Qingzhou's affairs now."

Xie Yan frowned slightly and said, "You pretended to be Cao Mao that day and didn't tell me beforehand." He thought she was there to watch the excitement that day, and only when she came back did she tell him what the concubine had done.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Do you have someone more suitable? Not to mention that you definitely won't be able to spare yourself to do these things, even if you have this spare time... a person like His Royal Highness the Regent, it is easy for people to doubt your identity Right? Qu Tiange's martial arts are powerful, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do this."

Xie Yan stared at her without speaking, Luo Junyao helplessly put his arms around his waist and said, "With Mr. Qu Fang here, I won't be in any danger."

Xie Yan sighed with a headache and said, "If the Cao family really fell for it, do you know the danger and trouble involved?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I know, trust me, I can handle it well."

Xie Yan said nothing, Luo Jun shook his arm and said: "Well, I admit that I did it on purpose. But... Shangyong is really boring, and the affairs of Anlan Academy don't take much time and energy for me right now. I don't want to get entangled with those noble women and wives every day. It just so happens that you are short of people right now, so if I help you, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

There is a kind of person who is uncomfortable without tossing.

When she first became Luo Junyao, she had to restrain herself somewhat because she was a newcomer, but now that she has fully integrated herself into this era, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Although she was also involved in those incidents last year, most of them were soy saucers, so Chen Xun's incident hit her hands, and she had already drawn up a comprehensive plan in her heart before she went to see Cao Mao that day.

They naturally discussed the content of the plan in advance, but when implementing it, Luo Junyao replaced Qu Tiange and Doiying with herself.

The effect is obviously very good. Whether it is a top expert like Qu Tiange or a capable person like Duoying, they are obviously not as mysterious and weird as a arrogant young man who suddenly appeared.

The Cao family probably would never have thought that she would be a member of the Prince Regent's House.

Xie Yan sighed lightly, the two had been together for several months, Xie Yan naturally understood the person in front of him.

This girl loves to make trouble, but she never makes mistakes when she needs to do business, and her ability to do things is unexpectedly powerful.

Xie Yan often thought, is this really the legendary second girl from the Luo family?
Can a relationship change really make such a big change in a person?
But Xie Yan didn't want to delve into these details, he just needed to make sure that the person in front of him was indeed the real Luo Junyao, the person he had met from the very beginning.

He believed that one day, she would be willing to tell him her secret.

"Starting tomorrow, Ye Feng will also be by your side." Xie Yan said.

Knowing that he agreed to his plan, Luo Junyao threw himself into his arms with a cheer, "Don't worry, you are the governor of Qingzhou, I will definitely help you!"

Xie Yan looked down at the swearing little girl in front of her with some helplessness, as if what she wanted to deal with was not the big officials of the frontier, but Zhang San Wang Si who sold big cakes on the street.

But such a confident appearance was extremely dazzling, so he couldn't help showing a gentle smile, "Okay, then I will work hard for the princess."
