The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 118 Innocent and Bold Confession

Ever since the emperor gave Tang Ying Jin Yiwei an errand, Wang An guessed what the emperor was thinking, and completely abandoned the idea of ​​making friends with the Zhao family, and no longer urged his wife to make false claims with Zhao Chen, his nephew.This time the Zhao family had a big banquet, and Wang An was not unhappy when he learned that his family had not received the post, he just pretended that there was no such thing.

Princess An wanted to come over to watch the excitement.

The last time she pinched Mrs. Lin, her son fell off the horse not long after. She said that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Chen, and she absolutely didn't believe it.The month before last, Tang Ju had already been able to go to the ground, but his left foot was a little lame. The imperial doctors said a lot of high-sounding words, and when the prince asked if he could be cured, he immediately hesitated and refused to give a correct answer.A good son was disabled, Princess An felt pain and hatred, and Zhao Chen killed her son, so don't even think about it!

Of course, she was not stupid enough to act in front of so many people, but she was a majestic princess, and the guests in the room would have to salute her when they saw her, even if it was just to cause trouble for Zhao Chen and his wife, she would come!

Mrs. Guo walked up to Aju without a trace before Princess An approached, took Cancan into her arms, turned her head to the lady next to her and said: "My granddaughter is so cute, every time I look at her, I feel so cute." It’s not rare enough, I can’t wait to take it back to our home.”

The circle of nobles in the capital is so big, and the wives like to go to banquets and chat the most, so they know almost everything about the situation of each family. The lady laughed at her: "Since it is rare, hurry up and tell your family about the marriage. You add a big fat grandson and big fat granddaughter, so that you won't miss Chengyuan's daughter all the time!"

When she spoke, Princess An came to her.

Mrs. Tai was also looking at the Zhuxuan, and the leader wanted to salute Princess An.

The surrounding female guests all looked at Princess An in unison.It stands to reason that if Princess An is willing to come, she recognizes Zhao Chen as a nephew. This situation is not easy to put on the profile of Princess An, but seeing Princess An smiles kindly but does not mean to be rude, knowing that the visitor is not kind, so they wink at each other, first Give yourself all the courtesy you deserve.

Ah Ju stood behind Mrs. Tai, and when she saw Mrs. Tai made a big salute, she also bent her legs.There are many royal etiquettes, and she expected this day when she married into the Hou's mansion, so she didn't feel wronged.She respected the name of Princess An, not herself.

Mrs. Guo usually doesn't like to deal with people, but she is not stupid, so she stopped Aju in surprise: "What are you doing, your third aunt came here to see her granddaughter, you are doing such a grand ceremony, Didn't you meet her? Third sister, don't you think so?"

She ranks second among the girls of the Ning family, and Princess Li'an has to respect her three points as an elder sister.

Concubine An pursed her lips, although she was unhappy, she couldn't continue to persist, so she smiled and said: "That's the reason, we are all a family, what are you doing with those vain rituals, old madam please." The next moment, he walked over to Mrs. Guo, stared at the baby girl in the swaddle and said, "This is Cancan, please give me a rarity."

She raised her hand, her slender nails painted bright red Kodan were particularly glaring in the sun.

Ah Ju couldn't help but took a step towards that side, Mrs. Guo had already smiled and hid, teasing Princess An like a good sister and said: "That's not okay, I just hugged it and it's not rare enough, wait until I'm rare enough I'll give it to you later, Chengyuan daughter-in-law, quickly invite your third aunt to drink tea in the house." After speaking, as if she was afraid that Princess An would still want to rob her, she carried Cancan and went to a few old ladies in the distance, The footsteps are light and unhurried, and the smile is shallow, dignified and generous.

Princess An's hand was still stretched out in embarrassment.

Ah Ju heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became more respectful, "Auntie, go inside and drink tea." As long as her daughter is well, it's nothing for her to lose her smile.

In full view, Princess An couldn't run over to snatch someone from her cousin, so she went in with a sullen face.

Seeing the scene just now, Lin Zhu frowned, and asked Guo Baozhu in a low voice, "Why does that Concubine An seem to have malicious intentions?" The Lin family had not settled in the capital for less than two months, but Zhao Chen was concerned about the situation of his relatives. I told Lin Xian that Liu's wholeheartedly took care of her daughter who was waiting for confinement, and she didn't have time to socialize, and didn't know much about outside affairs. Lin Zhu followed her, and the mother and daughter were in the same boat.

There were so many people in the yard that it was inconvenient to talk. Anyway, it was still early before the banquet, so Guo Baozhu took Lin Zhu out from the corner door of Wangzhuxuan's backyard and went to the garden of the Hou Mansion. He explained to Lin Zhu in a low voice while walking slowly in the sun The grievances between the Zhao and Ning families include the fact that Princess An secretly pinched Aju when King Jing's mansion hosted a banquet.

Lin Zhu blushed with anger, and wanted to say something cruel, but felt that with her status here, it was impossible for Princess An to retaliate, so she could only use Tang Ju's leg as an excuse: "She specializes in bullying honest people, and she deserves her son to fall!" Lame!"

Guo Baozhu smiled and blinked at her: "Don't worry, she is not favored in the palace, and the position of the eldest son is taken by her stepson, so she only has a better name as the princess, and she is not sure what life will be like in the palace. Okay. Come on, let's not mention her, there is no reason to make that kind of person feel bad."

Lin Zhu said "um", and turned to talk to Guo Baozhu about the visitors from the Hou's Mansion today. While talking, he suddenly remembered the tall and beautiful girl next to Mrs. Tai, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know..."

Just after saying three words, Lin Chongjiu shouted anxiously from behind the rockery in front of him. Lin Zhu was startled, and ran over without thinking, "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you, Xiao Jiu!"

Guo Baozhu ran faster than her, and the red dress on her body did not slow down her windy pace. She turned around the rockery a dozen steps ahead of Lin Zhu, and saw three figures of different heights standing there, one of them was a white brocade The young man in the robe held a bow in his hand and was aiming at the bamboo forest in the distance. Lin Chongjiu was standing in front of him, eager to grab his bow.

Guo Baozhu looked in the direction of the young man's bow and arrow, and saw Yoyo, who looked back to this side, ignorant and innocent, not knowing that the danger was approaching.

"Ji Zhao, you want to die, don't you!" Guo Baozhu was furious, and hurried forward to kick him.

With the familiar shouting and cursing, Ji Zhaosheng shuddered, and when he turned around, he saw Guo Baozhu rushing towards him, followed by a little girl in a purple dress, who also stared at him dissatisfiedly, hurriedly put away his bow and arrow, and explained with a smile: "Miss Guo misunderstood, I deliberately teased Xiaojiu to play, that is the deer raised by Shixiong, how could I really hurt it?"

God is pitiful, what he said is absolutely true, the deer is so far away, with his little archery skills, he can't shoot it at all, but it's interesting to see Lin Chongjiu anxious, I can't help but tease the children .

"Second Sister, he didn't tease me, he really wanted to shoot!" Finally having a backer, Lin Chongjiu quickly ran to Lin Zhu's side, complaining anxiously.

Lin Zhu held his younger brother's hand, lowered his head and asked him, "Aren't you with your father, why are you here?"

Lin Chongjiu pointed to Ji Zhao: "He told his brother-in-law that he wanted to see deer, so my brother-in-law asked me to bring him here, and met Big Brother Zeng halfway."

Hearing Lin Chongjiu mention Zeng Wenye, Ji Zhao hurriedly hid behind Zeng Wenye, "Brother Zeng, testify for me, I was just teasing Xiaojiu, right?"

Zeng Wenye was two years older than Ji Zhao. Although he was not as delicate as Ji Zhao, he was half a head taller than him. He wore a sky-blue round-neck robe, which looked like a magnolia orchid in the sun, and was suave.He looked back and forth at Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu, and he had already guessed the identity of the second daughter by the names of Ji Zhao and Lin Chongjiu before. At this time, when Ji Zhao asked for help, he smiled at Guo Baozhu, turned to the side, and looked at the front. Zhu Lin said: "Zeng only heard that the son said that he wanted to shoot a deer. As for whether the son said the truth or a joke, I can't judge."

Ji Zhao was so angry that he almost jumped his feet. He thought that the new Zeng Wenye he met today was an interesting person, but who would have thought that he would make trouble here!
Under Guo Baozhu's staring eyes, Ji Zhao looked at Lin Chongjiu for help, hoping that the little guy would speak for him, but Lin Chongjiu was angry with him, and only stared at him with a pair of black and white peach blossom eyes.Ji Zhao completely resigned himself, nocked the arrow and drew the bow again, and said helplessly to Guo Baozhu: "Miss Guo, I'm really teasing him, if you don't believe me, take a look."

Before he could finish his sentence, his arrow was already off the string, and flew a certain distance amidst Lin Chongjiu's screams, before it hit the ground before it entered the forest, scaring Youyou away.

Forced to show his true abilities, Ji Zhao threw his bow angrily, glared at Guo Baozhu and said, "Now you believe it!"

Guo Baozhu looked him up and down, and said two words contemptuously: "Shame on me!"

Lin Zhu couldn't help laughing.

Zeng Wenye uncontrollably shifted his gaze from Guo Baozhu to Lin Zhu, feeling a little regretful.In terms of appearance, Guo Baozhu was also beautiful, and she was still a little worse than Lin Zhu. Besides, Guo Baozhu's temper is really hard to attract men, but she is better at supporting her. Her father and brother are both in high positions. If she can marry Guo Baozhu, yes His official career is of great benefit, and Lin Zhu, although he has Zhao Chen as his brother-in-law, is separated by a layer.

Lin Zhu felt the man's gaze. If King Rui hadn't come first, she might have developed some interest in the handsome Zeng Wenye, but now she just felt disgusted, and said to Guo Baozhu with a frown, "Let's go."

Guo Baozhu didn't want to stay here either, so he turned to leave.

Ji Zhao quit, and stretched out his arms to stop her, "You say I'm ashamed, if you have the ability, shoot the arrow into the bamboo forest and show me!" The bamboo forest is so far away, it means that the archery is superb, and it's normal if you can't shoot it. Why is it embarrassing?

"Forget it, my son, aren't you making things difficult for others?" Zeng Wenye stepped forward to smooth things over.

Ji Zhaoben is a well-known dandy, and he was polite to Zeng Wenye because he was a relative of the Zhao family. After seeing Zeng Wenye extremely disliked just now, he immediately replied unceremoniously: "So what can I do to others? Could it be what you think?" A hero save the beauty?" A weak scholar, he is not afraid of being taller than him!
Zeng Wenye was stunned for a moment. Just as he was weighing whether it was worth offending Ji Zhao for Guo Baozhu, Guo Baozhu had already walked out from between the two of them. He picked up his bow and looked at it carefully. Yubai plucked the string with his fingers, his bright eyes Suddenly looking at Ji Zhao, "If I can shoot into the woods, what about you?"

The proficient posture of holding the bow and the confident and arrogant tone made Ji Zhao's heart beat faster.

He stared blankly at the girl in the red dress under the sun, feeling that she was different from the girls he had seen, she was fierce and scary, but she looked extremely pleasing to the eye.

"Say it, so what if I shoot into the woods?" Seeing the man staring at him like a fool, Guo Baozhu urged impatiently.

Ji Zhao came back to his senses, and impulsively replied: "You can do whatever you say."

"Okay, that's what you said!" Guo Baozhu smiled brightly, walked to Ji Zhao's side and took out a feather arrow from the quiver on his back. He didn't change places, let alone take a few steps forward. Ji Zhao drew a bow and arrow beside him, aiming at the position where Yoyo stopped just now, and shot it.

The long arrow pierced through the air and made a clear low sound.

The next moment, the arrow sank into a green bamboo, the tail of the arrow swung sharply and buzzed.

Ji Zhao stared at the arrow in disbelief, his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and it took him a long time to look at the girl in front of him: "You..."

"Call me auntie!" Guo Baozhu proudly said.

Zeng Wenye shook his head and laughed, Lin Zhu and his brother also looked at Ji Zhao gloatingly.

Ji Zhaojun blushed, turned white, turned red again, stared at Guo Baozhu, unable to speak, Guo Baozhu gradually lost his patience, and his beautiful eyes widened: "Do you want to go back on your word?"

Ji Zhao suddenly discovered that Guo Baozhu looked better when she was angry than when she smiled.

Oddly enough, an idea popped up in his mind, and then mushroomed like mushrooms after rain, quickly taking shape.

He chuckled, showed his neat white teeth to Guo Baozhu, whispered three words in her ear, and ran away after speaking.

Guo Baozhu was dumbfounded this time.

He, he actually called her...

She ran after her: "Ji Zhao, you have the guts to stop, and see if I don't strangle your mouth!"
