The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 22 Princess (2)
The princess regent is thinner than when she was seen at the palace banquet in the old year, her face is as pale as a piece of white paper, but she is only in her early thirties, but she has already grown gorgeous hair on her temples.Compared with the empress dowager who was the same age as her, she really looked much older.

She was wearing a moon-white plain dress, with a white jade hairpin on her sideburns, and she looked as pale as if she came out of a painting.Seeing Zhao Jing coming over, there was a forced smile on her lips, Zhao Jing could see the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes clearly at a glance.

"Why did the concubine come here in person? If Mrs. Marquis Wu'an knew about it, she would probably die in peace." Zhao Jing said as she took the three sticks of incense from the maid and sent them to the regent princess.

The princess regent stretched out her hand to take it, but her eyebrows still fell on Zhao Jing's face, she stared blankly for a long time, and only waited for the old mother behind her to remind her, then she came back to her senses, with a slightly embarrassed face He turned his head and bowed three times to Madam Wu'anhou's spiritual seat.

Zhao Jing went there in person, offered incense to the princess regent, and helped her to sit down in the side hall.Several side concubines had offered incense, and they all followed, and the regent princess said indifferently: "You all sit down, I will leave after a few words with Miss Jing."

Zhao Jing and the Princess Regent are just acquaintances, not a friendship, so naturally they don't know what she wants to say to him.Besides, Zhao Jing doesn't know why anyone who touches the word Regent, but she just feels creepy from the bottom of her heart, wishing she could hide farther away.

When she was in a dilemma, Mrs. Xu came.

If it were an ordinary person, Mrs. Xu would definitely not show up. She is now a second-rank imperial order, except that Mrs. Xu still needs to bow her head in front of the few old lords who are only first-rank imperial orders in the Yong Dynasty. People don't have to.

It's just that no one who is a first-class old Feng Jun will come to the funeral of a junior, so there are really not many opportunities for Mrs. Xu to go out in person.But today the princess regent is here, if she is still hiding in her own Songhe hall, it will be a bit out of shape.

She also likes to be lazy, and doesn't often come out for a walk, and now her body is still strong, thanks to the hardships she suffered when she was young, her foundation is good, and she is pampered.

It's just that the old lady is nearly sixty now, so she still needs some maintenance.But when she turned around and saw the Princess Regent again, Zhao Jing felt that the person who should be taken care of the most was not the old lady, but the princess.

Looking at the few side concubines who came with her, who didn't have a face like a lotus face, eyebrows like a crescent moon, and a charming figure, but she is a dignified concubine, but she has ended up in such a state, it is really pitiful to watch.

"Old lady, get up quickly." Although the regent princess is weak, she is the princess of the previous dynasty after all, and her demeanor can be described as extraordinary.Even between frowning and frowning, they all have the charm of a young lady.Zhao Jing couldn't help thinking, she didn't know what kind of beauty the regent princess was supposed to be more than 20 years ago.

The concubine just helped the old lady Xu, but the old lady Xu didn't understand these royal etiquette, she just thought that the concubine really wanted to help her, so she took the concubine's hand with one hand and tried to get up with strength, but the concubine was How can such a weak body stand up to it?Fortunately, Zhao Jing reacted quickly, reached out her hand quickly, and supported Wang Hao's wrist, so that Wang Hao would not be pushed down by Mrs. Xu.

Several side concubines looked at the swaying figure of the princess, but they couldn't hide a trace of joy on their faces. Could it be that they were expecting her to leave early?Want to sit in her seat?I don't know if it's the reason for leaving the palace recently, Zhao Jing, who has endured for more than ten years and refused to complain about injustices, was forced to become anxious again in a daze.

"The Marquis of Wu'an is still parked in the hall! Since the side concubines are here to express their condolences, at least they are showing a bit of sadness. Don't lose face to the prince, it's just a joke." Zhao Jing said. I regret exporting.Which onion is she?Even the regent's side concubine dared to teach her a lesson.Besides, there are two ladies here that she knew before... Why did she become so shameless when she met a man when she came out of the pavilion?
The faces of the concubines changed after hearing this.But Zhao Jing is someone close to the queen mother, even if they have resentment, they really can't exert their strength.Besides, some of these people also knew Zhao Jing before, and knew that she could eat well in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and vaguely heard from people in the palace that even the regent had a pleasant face when he saw her.

If Zhao Jing knew about this rumor, she would definitely try her best to deny it. Since when did the black-faced Baogong ever treat her with a pleasant face?

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while, and Mrs. Xu also suddenly understood one thing, Zhao Jing even dared to blatantly lose face like the regent's side concubine, so what else would she not dare to do?I didn't seem to be polite enough to her before!

"Why hasn't the tea come out yet?" The old lady thought for a while, Zhao Jing was doing something for her family, so she tried to protect her, so she raised her voice and asked.
