The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 158

When Lin Zhu was told that she was going to enter the palace to enjoy the peonies, Ah Ju only told her younger sister to dress up more elegantly, she didn't say anything else, and she had a vague feeling that her younger sister always liked to be smug, and it was rare for her to enter the palace to watch the excitement, so she might go there on purpose. Look good and dress up.In the past in Dengzhou, my sister was always the most outstanding when my aunt's house entertained guests.

Zhao Chen told her about the fourth prince, but Ah Ju didn't take it to heart.Firstly, she felt that the emperor and empress probably would not choose her younger sister, and secondly, she had already decided to let her younger sister follow her at all times and not allow her to run around, so even if her younger sister dressed up well, she would not catch anyone's eyes.

But Ah Ju never thought that when she went to pick up someone from Lin's house, she would see a younger sister who was only wearing a light green trousers and a long white skirt.The clothes are made of good materials, and the jewelry on my sister's head is simple but also good. No one will look down on my sister, but this outfit is really too inconspicuous.

"What is Eldest Sister looking at?" After getting into the carriage, Lin Zhu hugged his niece to his lap. After coaxing for a while, he found that Eldest Sister had been staring at him, and asked pretending not to understand. Her peach blossom eyes were cunning, and she clearly knew the reason. .

"Look at my aunt!" Hearing what his aunt said, Cancan looked at his mother, then raised his head and told his aunt.

"Chancan is so smart." Lin Zhu smiled and kissed the little girl, and Cancan leaned in his aunt's arms, looking at his mother happily.

Both of them hurt in her heart, Ah Ju couldn't help laughing, held her daughter's little hand and praised her, and then asked Lin Zhu: "Why is she dressed like this?" She wouldn't talk about how her sister dressed, she was just curious Sister thought.In the past two years, the two sisters lived separately, and their relationship remained the same as before, but she became more and more uncertain about her younger sister's thoughts.

Lin Zhu didn't give a damn, he looked out the window and said, "The only ones who can go to the palace are ladies from noble and noble officials' families. No matter how nicely I dress, in their eyes, I'm still a girl from the country. If that's the case, why go too far Dressing up to provoke gossip from those people? Besides, our family really has no money, if it wasn’t for the fear of embarrassing my elder sister and brother-in-law, I would still wear ordinary materials.” She turned her face and winked playfully at her elder sister.

"Don't you want to go to the palace?" Ah Ju asked worriedly.The younger sister thinks so, it must be that she has been ridiculed when she was a guest at other people's house before, maybe she doesn't want to enter the palace to deal with those people?
Lin Zhu shook his head, wondering why the eldest sister would think of that, "Why don't you think about it, I wanted to visit the capital when I was in Dengzhou. I want to go to the palace to have a look. Eldest sister, don’t think about it, I wear it like this because I want my ears to be clean, not because I’m afraid of them.”

The girl raised her eyebrows proudly, Ah Ju couldn't help laughing.Speaking of which, she hadn't really seen who her younger sister was afraid of. When she was a child, the three sisters went out to play together, and when encountering girls from the same village looking for trouble and arguing, her younger sister would always be the one who stamped others' anger.

"Okay, after entering the palace, follow me honestly. Let's enjoy the flowers quietly. I heard that the peonies in the palace are blooming big and beautifully. They must be beautiful." Aju took her daughter and asked her with a smile. , "Has Cancan ever seen a peony flower?"

Cancan immediately lowered her head, pointed at the peony flowers on her skirt and said, "Here it is!"

The daughter is smart, Ah Ju picked up the little girl and kissed her.In order to meet the occasion, she specially chose a skirt embroidered with peonies for her daughter, and taught her to say peony in the morning, and she remembered it.

Half an hour later, the two sisters walked up to Princess Jing under the guidance of the maid, holding Cancan in their arms.

Aju saluted skillfully, then squatted down to coax her daughter, "How can Cancan salute the princess?"

Cancan shyly hid in her mother's arms, Princess Jing bent down to tease her, Cancan finally stepped forward, with one hand still on her mother's knee, looked at Princess Jing shyly and said: "My lady, princess...you look good !” After speaking, she smiled and hid back in her mother’s arms.

Ah Ju was stunned, she didn't teach like that at all.

Concubine Jing obviously also guessed that the words were made up by the little girl herself, but the child's uninstructed praise made her even more happy.Stretching out her hand to pull Cancan into her arms, Princess Jing hugged the little girl and coaxed, "Cancan is also pretty, so tell me, is it your mother or me?"

Cancan pointed to mother without hesitation.

Concubine Jing asked her and Lin Zhu who looked better.

Cancan also pointed to her aunt without hesitation.

"Dare Cancan's family members look better than me, don't they?" Concubine Jing pretended to be sad, then pulled her son who had been standing beside her, and asked Cancan, "Do you still remember brother?"

Cancan tilted her head to look at Brother Fu, leaned into Princess Jing's arms familiarly, and shook her head: "I don't remember."

Fu Geer looked at her eagerly.

In fact, the child is too young, and Princess Jing can't tell whether her son remembers Cancan or not, but the word "sister" often pops out of his mouth when he plays by himself, obviously he remembers that he has a sister who likes to play with him.Seeing the obvious disappointment in Fu Ge'er's eyes now, the disappointment may be because the younger sister doesn't remember him, or it may be because the younger sister doesn't like him that much, Princess Jing smiled and asked Cancan: "Then Cancan said, it's because brother is good-looking Am I still pretty?"

This time Cancan pointed at Princess Jing again.

Fu Geer pursed his lips.

Princess Jing looked amused, and turned to ask her son: "Brother Fu said, is it me or my sister who is prettier?"

Cancan was touching the embroidered patterns on Princess Jing's dress, but after hearing this, she raised her head and stared at Fu Ge'er expectantly.

Fu Geer looked at his sister's dark eyes, and slowly said: "They all look good."

Cancan blinked, turned her head to ignore him, and continued to touch the princess's dress.Fu Geer looked up at his mother, as if asking for help, Princess Jing touched his head, pointed to a Wei Zi plant not far away and asked, "Is that a beautiful flower, or is my sister beautiful?"

As soon as the words fell, Cancan turned to look at Fu Geer again.

This time Fu Geer said without hesitation that his sister is beautiful.

Cancan smiled, walked over to hold Fu Geer's hand, pointed to the flowers over there, and then pulled him over together.Fu Geer was very happy, and immediately turned to the customer, and replaced him with his younger sister.Although the two children are five months apart, they are about the same size. Cancan is even fatter than Fu Geer, and they are so cute walking side by side.

Concubine Jing was very pleased, and said to Ah Ju Linzhu: "Let's go, let's follow them to enjoy the flowers."

Ah Ju also likes to watch her daughter play with friends of the same age. At this time, her daughter will do many things that she would not do in front of adults.Glancing at Lin Zhu, Ah Ju signaled her to follow, and then stepped forward to talk to Princess Jing.

There are only two children in the entire peony garden, one of whom is the only grandson of the emperor, laughing and laughing, gradually attracting all the female relatives who are scattered around to enjoy the flowers.Princess Rui leads the way, followed by Princess Jiarou, Princess An and others follow behind, and behind them are the female relatives who surrounded them.Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Guo Baozhu happened to be there too. Seeing Ah Ju, she walked over from the other side.

Ah Ju was a little worried, Princess Jing shook her hand and smiled faintly.

Ah Ju knew that it was impossible for Princess Jiarou to do anything in front of so many people, but she still couldn't help but focus on her daughter.

Cancan has a lively personality. At the beginning, she was a little nervous when she saw many people around her. Later, she saw that they were all looking at her and smiling, and she was not afraid anymore. He looked at a big bright yellow flower, then pointed to himself.

"My sister is pretty." Fu Geer said softly.

Cancan grinned, and then pulled him towards another flower of a different color, obviously liking this new way of comparing flowers to look better.

The two children are both beautiful, smart and cute, and the adults can't help but follow them.

Guo Baozhu likes her little niece, but she doesn't like being crowded with so many people, and some people praise her sincerely, while others are hypocritical and perfunctory. She couldn't help but grabbed Lin Zhu and raised her chin towards the back of the crowd.

Lin Zhu nodded slightly, so the two quietly squeezed out of the crowd, Guo Baozhu pulled Lin Zhu and ran a long way before hiding behind a bunch of peonies, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "Everyone knows how to coax and flatter , smoked me to death, I almost wanted to vomit."

Lin Zhu burst out laughing, and hurriedly touched her stomach, "Thinking of throwing up? Do you have it?"

"You only have it!" Guo Baozhu blushed, and made a gesture to hit her, "Young girl said such things, be careful, I will tell my sister-in-law!"

"Look at you, you have become so dignified and virtuous after only half a month of marriage, it seems that Ji Zhao really has the ability!"

Lin Zhu hid in the peony bushes with her skirt, and she had to be careful not to be caught by Guo Baozhu, but also to keep teasing her good sister. Suddenly a figure came over.Lin Zhu was shocked, it was too late to stop, he was about to bump into him, the other party dodged to one side, but unfortunately he dodged again, bumped into a lush Yuyihuang plant with his back, and then fell sideways.

Lin Zhu was quite scared at first, but when he saw the posture of the man falling, he couldn't help chuckling sideways.

It turned out that when the boy fell, his head was pressed against a bright yellow peony. Lying there like this, he seemed to be wearing flowers.

She was still able to restrain herself, and then Guo Baozhu who ran over saw this situation and immediately laughed unkindly.

"Stop laughing..." Lin Zhu grabbed her just in time, trying to pull her away.The Peony Garden is the place where the Empress entertains the female guests today, and this man came here for nothing, he must not be a good person.

"Wait!" The blue-clothed boy jumped up, patting his robe while blocking Lin Zhu's body.

He was more than a head taller than her, Lin Zhu took a step back vigilantly, "What does this young man mean? You fell down by yourself just now, not me."

"That's right, don't try to make false accusations!" Guo Baozhu said aggressively from the side.

The two girls stared wide-eyed, the boy in blue was a little embarrassed, his fair face slowly turned red, but his eyes kept staring at Lin Zhu, "You, you..."

It didn't look like he wanted to ask the teacher for a crime, Lin Zhu put down his guard and waited curiously for him to speak.

Guo Baozhu became impatient, "What are you, get out of here quickly, or I'll show you!" After speaking, he dragged Lin Zhu forward.

Lin Zhu was not as strong as her, and he was pulled out a distance before he stabilized. When he turned around, he saw the boy in blue still standing where he was.The two looked at each other, and the young man seemed to have something to say, but he didn't speak for a long time.Lin Zhu felt that this man was really strange, so he took one last look at him and followed Guo Baozhu away.

The sound of footsteps faded away, and the boy in blue clenched his fists angrily.

In the imperial garden not far from here, King Rui's little eunuch quietly approached his master and replied in a low voice.

King Rui smiled and glanced in the direction of the peony garden, and nodded slightly.

After Tang Wendi died, Guo Zijing kept paying attention to King Rui's side, and frowned secretly when he saw this.
