After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 197 Being left out

Xiangyueyuan.

Xiangli Mingzhu asked Hexiang to serve tea and snacks, and then asked everyone to go down. Only mother and daughter were left in the room, and even Jiang Truffle was not allowed to stay.

Jiang Bailu was in a bad mood. There was no one else in the room. She finally couldn't help it and tears fell down.

Xiangli Mingzhu was extremely distressed. She was just a daughter. She had never cried like this in her entire life in Jiang Mansion. How long had it been since she married into the East Palace that she was crying again?
She held her daughter and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't cry, don't cry, mother is here. If you have any grievances, just tell me and see if mother can give you any advice."

Jiang Bailu's shoulders were twitching from crying, her handkerchiefs were wet on two sheets, and she kept choking and refused to speak.

The less she said anything, the more anxious Xiangli Mingzhu became: "What happened? Someone in the East Palace bullied you? Or is the prince doting on someone else?"

She urged hard: "You kid, what's the use of crying? If you don't tell me, how can I advise you?"

Jiang Bailu cried harder and louder, and the maids waiting outside heard her. She looked at me and I looked at you, with a strong sense of gossip.

It took a long time before Jiang Bailu stopped crying and sobbed softly: "Mom, you must help me."

Xiangli Mingzhu hummed: "Don't worry, anyone who dares to bully you will have trouble with the Jiang family and the Xiangli family. I don't think anyone can withstand the anger of the Jiang family and the Xiangli family. Even if I give her a hundred courages, I won't dare." ”

Jiang Bailu shook his head: "No one bullied me. Mother, when I first got married to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince was very kind to me. Although he didn't come to my house every day, he would send people to send things over from time to time, or He asked me to go over and have dinner with the prince. But after only half a month, the prince suddenly ignored me. "

The first thing Xiangli Mingzhu thought of was that someone had said bad things about her daughter in front of the prince: "But what did someone say about you in front of the prince?"

Jiang Bailu started crying again: "I don't know, but I only know that besides me, His Highness the Crown Prince has two beauties waiting by his side. His Highness has not favored them these days. They should not have the chance to say anything wrong about me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. I I don’t know why, but His Highness has been ignoring me for more than half a month, mother..."

Xiangli Mingzhu immediately understood: "You child, I thought it was something. Isn't this normal? As a prince, His Highness has so many things to do, how can he find the time to always think about women? Just like your father, he also has ten days. If you don’t come into my house for half a month, you’ll always go to Li Gui’s house or to Chun Guangyuan. What can I do?”

"Also, during the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of things in the palace and His Highness is busy. You have to understand and be considerate to His Highness. If it doesn't work, you might as well take the initiative to find the Crown Prince and make some supplements for the Crown Prince and send them over. You can find any reason."

Jiang Bailu nodded: "Mom, mama has already given me this idea. I gave His Highness chicken soup, but I didn't even see His Highness's face. I also used money. Hong Siku, who was serving His Highness, said, Your Highness I have been busy cultivating these days, and no beauty has been summoned, so I don’t need to come over to disturb you.”

Xiangli Mingzhu said oh, and then sighed: "What else can you do? In this case, just find something to do by yourself, and don't bother His Highness, otherwise you will catch the chicken but lose the rice. As long as it is nothing else We won’t be afraid if the woman takes away His Highness.”

Xiangli Mingzhu enlightened her, and Jiang Bailu also thought a lot. Men have serious things to do, and they can't always hang around women. After she figured it out, she gradually stopped crying.

During lunch, the Jiang family all came to the dining hall, and Jiang Bailu also put on a happy smile. She didn't want anyone to know that she was ignored by the prince, so as not to be laughed at.

She had applied heat to her eyes, so she couldn't tell that she had cried, but Yuan Qi's sharp eyes could still tell.

Jiang Jiulu whispered to Yuan Qi, "Have you seen it? The fourth sister cried. She must have had a bad life in the East Palace. Fortunately, I listened to you and didn't become a concubine, otherwise my life would have been even worse." Yuan Qi hummed in agreement: "His Royal Highness is not suitable for you. Remember what I say, don't be in a hurry when it comes to marriage."

Jiang Jiulu was very emotional. Jiang Bailu was a legitimate daughter with a noble birth. She married the noble Crown Prince, but she still cried and returned to her parents' home. If she married a concubine, her life would definitely be more difficult, and she might be tortured to death.

Jiang Bailu distributed the gifts brought back from the East Palace to everyone. The Jiang family was very rich, but they were not royal family after all. The things Jiang Bailu brought back made everyone's eyes brighten.

She gave them to Feng Caiyi, Jiang Songlu, Jiangjiulu and Yuan Qi. They each had the same jewelry and a bottle of beauty cream. The beauty cream was a secret recipe of the palace and was not available outside. Everyone was very happy.

"Thank you, Fourth Sister." Jiang Trulu was the first to thank her. She also asked curiously, "It's not easy to get this, isn't it?"

Everyone else looked at Jiang Bailu curiously, waiting for her answer.

Jiang Bailu smiled slightly: "It's not too difficult. One bottle was given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one was given by the Imperial Concubine, and two bottles were given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other was given by the Queen."

Jiang Trulu couldn't help but admire: "My sister is so popular. She is like a fish in water in the palace and is loved by so many people."

Jiang Bailu's smile froze, and she did not refute Jiang Trulu's words, but admitted openly: "Look at what Sixth Sister said, it seems like everyone in the palace is surrounding me."

Feng Caiyi didn't think much of the beauty cream. Concubine Feng was her aunt. She had also received the beauty cream on other occasions. She pretended to be happy because she didn't want Jiang Bai to look ugly.

What Jiang Trulu said was indeed a bit exaggerated, but she didn't expose it.

Jiang Truffle continued to flatter her: "My sister is the Crown Princess. In the future when His Highness ascends the throne, you will be the Queen. If others don't revolve around you, who will?"

Jiang Bailu was elated when she said this, but she still said politely: "Sixth sister, please don't say that. Even if His Highness ascends the throne, the queen also needs to be canonized, but she does not necessarily canonize me."

Jiang Trulu snorted: "Sister, you have a distinguished status. If you don't canonize me, who else can you canonize?"

Xiangli Mingzhu said very arrogantly at the side: "That's right."

Jiang Jiulu lowered her head to smell the beauty cream. She felt that the beauty cream was very rare and precious. She turned her head to look at Yuan Qi, as if she didn't care much. When she looked up again, Jiang Bailu was also looking at Yuan Qi with an unnatural expression. .

Jiang Bailu asked: "Seventh sister, don't you like this gift?"

Yuan Qi responded very perfunctorily: "The gift is very good, I like it."

In a few days, there would be even worse things waiting for Jiang Bailu, and Yuan Qi couldn't bear to hit her anymore and said a few words against her will.
