Chapter 25 Princess Jingnan
Xiao Ruan frowned, looked around, this place should be a concentrated area of ​​residences of dignitaries and dignitaries, the coachman probably took this road in order to take a shortcut to go to Beishi.

She was just about to ask the guard who the owner of his family was, but at this moment, a plaque on the left side suddenly appeared in front of her eyes - the four characters "Jingnan Prince's Mansion" struck her mind like a thunderbolt, Xiao Ruan raised her head and looked up again. Looking at the badge of the carriage, I realized why it looked familiar to me.

Isn't this car emblem the symbol of Prince Jingnan's Mansion!

Looking at the guard again, he saw the logo of Jingnan Prince's Mansion also engraved on the saber pinned to his waist.

Knowing that the person who came was from the Jingnan Palace, Xiao Ruan felt at ease. The Jingnan Palace has always been a loyal royalist. She did not have much contact with the Jingnan Palace in her previous life, but she also knew that the Jingnan Palace had always had a good reputation.

Xiao Ruan nodded to the guard, "Please lead the way."

When Lianqiao heard this, she tightened Xiao Ruan's hand, Xiao Ruan patted the back of Lianqiao's hand calmly, but Zhuyun's face was calm, as if she was not worried at all.

The guard turned his head and gestured to the carriage next to him, then said to the coachman of Xiao's family, "Follow me later." Then he turned his head and said to Xiao Ruan, "Miss, please take a longer ride."

Xiao Ruan didn't ask any further questions, turned around and got into the carriage with the two maids.

As soon as she got into the carriage, Lian Qiao asked anxiously, "Miss, do we really want to go with them?"

Xiao Ruan didn't answer Lianqiao's question immediately, she thought of Zhuyun's calm face before, her heart moved, so she turned to look at Zhuyun, "Zhuyun, what do you think?"

Zhuyun was obviously surprised, but said truthfully, "Miss, I think this trip should not be dangerous."

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Ruan clasped his hands a few times, and asked without moving his eyebrows.

"This place is close to the intersection of Beishi and the Imperial City, and most of them are residences of dignitaries. From the looks, the owner of the family just now should be on his way back to the mansion. Besides, the guard can call out the lady's surname, so he should know the master. If so, then Don't worry about the safety of our trip. And..." Zhuyun looked up at Xiao Ruan.

Xiao Ruan raised her eyebrows, "Say!"

"Besides, the master has guards around him, so he is obviously quite powerful. If he really wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have greeted us so much at all!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Ruan's lips, and it was like a spring flower in an instant, which was indescribable.She looked at the two maids sitting on one side, and seeing Lianqiao's annoyed expression, she sighed inwardly.I have to say that if Zhuyun wasn't someone sent by the Gu family, she would have to be by her side, after all, she will definitely need someone who can do practical things for her in the future!
Forsythia is more than loyal, but not sensible enough to see things; Zhuyun just makes up for this shortcoming, being smart and safe enough!Unfortunately……

Fortunately, this matter is not in a hurry.

She let go of her thoughts and said slowly, "That's right, Zhuyun's analysis is quite right!" Then she seemed to be talking to herself, "I just don't know why the owner of this house must see me?"

After that, the three stopped talking.The carriage drove all the way, and Xiao Ruan vaguely knew from the cracks in the windows that this was the back house of Jingnan Prince's Mansion.Even though Zhuyun was definitely praised by Xiao Ruan just now, she is still very low-key at this moment.Lian Qiao, who had been unaware of the situation, was still a little worried.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, and someone outside the carriage called out, "Miss Xiao, please get out of the carriage! My master is waiting in the small garden!"

Xiao Ruan and the others got off the carriage, only to find that they were already in a courtyard.

The carriage drove to the side under the guidance of a servant, and the guard standing in front of Xiao Ruan and the others was still the same guard just now.Xiao Ruan gathered the sideburns around her ears, and the inexplicable feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger!The carriage will stop at the back house of Prince Jingnan's mansion, obviously the mistress of the back house wants to see her!
Princess Jingnan?

But she and Princess Jingnan had nothing to do with each other even in their last life, let alone this life!

What's more, there is something that needs to meet like this.She was outside just now, but in fact, she only needs to be introduced into the carriage of the princess to meet her, so why must it take so much trouble?

Xiao Ruan was out of his mind, and followed the guard all the way, turning around for an unknown amount of time, before stopping at an arched door.In front of the arch stood two maids, both in their twenties and eight years.Seeing them walking in at this time, one of them turned around and walked in, the other bent down to salute Xiao Ruan.

Xiao Ruan nodded, and looked towards the arched door again, only to see that there were a lot of colorful flowers inside, this should be the small garden!
Not long after, the maid who had left before came back, and she also saluted Xiao Ruan, "Miss Xiao, please follow me in."

Xiao Ruan restrained her thoughts, stepped out, and heard Lian Qiao's dissatisfied voice behind her, "What are you doing!"

"Only your master is allowed to enter!" The guard's voice was calm, with a businesslike look.

Lianqiao immediately refused to agree, she waved away Zhuyun who was holding her, and said indignantly, "How can I do that? I am Miss's personal servant girl, how can I stay too far away from Miss?"

Xiao Ruan looked back, and finally shook her head at Lianqiao, "You two wait for me outside!" After hearing this, Lianqiao shut up unwillingly, and stood outside the arched door together with Zhuyun.

Xiao Ruan walked all the way, and after a while, he saw a woman sitting in a pavilion not far away.

The woman was wearing a palace satin and plain snow silk dress, with tassels in a simple bun. Looking at this attire, she seemed to have just come out of the palace, and Princess Jingnan had indeed just returned from the palace.

The maid leading the way stopped here, leaving Xiao Ruan alone. She suppressed the tension in her heart and walked slowly into the pavilion.

Princess Jingnan is in good condition. At this time, she is slowly making tea in the steam. There is a servant girl and a steward standing not far behind her.At this moment, when they saw Xiao Ruan coming in, they exited the pavilion tactfully.

"Sit down, don't be restrained!" Princess Jingnan's voice was joyful, she didn't raise her head, but continued to move her hands.It wasn't until the tea in his hand was brewed that he pushed a cup over, "Try it, this year's Yuqian Longjing." It just came from the palace.

It's just that Princess Jingnan didn't say the last sentence.

Xiao Ruan picked up the teacup according to his words, the tea soup in the cup was clear and fragrant, it was indeed the best Dragon Well Tea before Yu, even if it was an imperial tribute!Xiao Ruan's grandfather Lu Taifu was a master at appreciating tea, brewing tea, and tasting tea, but Xiao Ruan had only learned superficially, able to distinguish good from bad, but couldn't explain why, so at this time she could only do nothing. Said, "Good tea!"

On the contrary, it was Princess Jingnan who smiled. She looked carefully at this person who made some people miss him even when he left Beijing.

Her complexion is more radiant than snow, her eyebrows are picturesque, and the little girl is clearly childish, but there is a touch of determination between her brows, which is rare for people to see and never forget.No wonder that little bastard is so reluctant to let go!
Princess Jingnan's gaze was not hidden at all. Xiao Ruan, who was being scrutinized opposite her, straightened her back a little stiffly, but also pretended not to know, so she could only lower her head and sip tea, but the tighter and tighter fingers on the teacup revealed her nervousness .

All of this was naturally taken into consideration by Princess Jingnan. She chuckled and broke the silence just now, "Grandson of Taifu Lu? Will he be fourteen this year?"

Lu Taifu's grandson?Why is it called so?
Xiao Ruan was puzzled, and before she had time to think about it, she said yes, "Back to Wangfei, it's already fourteen this year."

"You don't have to be nervous! I invited you to visit the mansion today, it's just a matter of trust and loyalty!" Princess Jingnan fumbled around her waist for a while, then took out a kit and handed it over.

"Being entrusted by others, is it a matter of loyalty?" Xiao Ruan stretched out his hand to take the plain brocade bag, with confusion in his eyes.

"That's right, you can open it and have a look!" Princess Jingnan took a sip of tea, saw Xiao Ruan opened the kit, and followed her to look, only to see a jade cicada poured out of the kit.

Look at this jade cicada, it should be Peichan carved from suet white jade.

Xiao Ruan stretched out his hand to stroke it, only to feel that the curvature of its back was carved evenly, but the tip was straight and straight, and it felt like it was prickling.

The wings of the jade cicada are symmetrical, long and narrow, resembling lung lobes; the abdomen is slightly convex, and several lines are engraved;

On the whole, Yuchan's cutting work is also clean and neat, and the image is magnificent.The polishing process is also very good, the surface is smooth and bright, and the lines are refined and tough. It can be seen that the engraver has powerful carvings, which should be carved by experienced craftsmen!

"Hey, isn't this something that kid Huo Xun carved for half a year?" Apparently Princess Jingnan didn't know what was in the kit before, she added, "That kid said it's an apology for you!"

"Apologize? Huo Xun?" Xiao Ruan was really surprised this time, her eyes widened, far from the calmness she had just entered the gazebo and the calmness she had just drinking tea. The appearance of a young girl looks amiable and lovely.

Princess Jingnan clicked on the little kit, "Not long ago, Huo Xun was sent back to the border. Before leaving, I must send this kit to you, and said it was for you My apology. I haven't found a chance to give you a chance, but I happened to meet you today, and I didn't wear the bag, so I had no choice but to invite you into the mansion."

Only then did Xiao Ruan understand why this happened. Many thoughts were churning in her mind at this moment, and after a while, was Huo Xun so close to Prince Jingnan's mansion?Even this kind of object can be passed on to Princess Jingnan!But she didn't even know about it in her previous life!After a while, Huo Xun had already gone to the border. This apology should refer to the Xiangguo Temple!
Looking at the small and delicate jade cicada in her hand, she thought for a moment that Huo Xun carved it himself, not to mention, the craftsmanship is really good!But, why did you give her Yuchan?
Thoughts were racing through Xiao Ruan's mind, and it was only after a while that she heard Princess Jingnan's question. She raised her head blankly, and Princess Jingnan was overjoyed to see her. She took out a handkerchief and lightly covered the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Forget it. There is no need to tell you anything specifically, I will send you a post when the time comes!"

"Post?" Xiao Ruan heard clearly this time, but Princess Jingnan didn't say anything, she waved her hand, "Okay, okay, go back quickly, when the time comes, I will send someone to send the post to your residence!"
