Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 138 ancestor worship
Seeing Liuyan who was following outside the car, who was clearly displeased but restrained himself from having an outburst, Ruan Mianmian's somewhat heavy mood suddenly improved.

Blinking at Liuyan with a stiff face, he smiled slightly.The big black eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and the eyes were full of smiles.

Satisfied to see Liuyan's stiff face showing astonishment and dull eyes, the smile in Ruan Mianmian's eyes deepened.

Putting down the car curtain without hesitation, Ruan Mianmian said to Hsinchu who had already wiped her lips in a good mood: "We will arrive at Taimiao in a while, you rest in the car, and I will let others follow me in."

Hsinchu shook his head: "Princess, how can I do that?"

Ruan Mianmian's eyes froze, and he said calmly, "Why not? This is the royal family's ancestor worship, not Jiuyou Palace. You have injuries and there are so many people, are you sure you can protect me in a while?"

Hsinchu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt that what Wang Hao said was reasonable.The whip wound on his back was still aching. After being woken up by Liu Yan yesterday, he went to wait in front of the princess, and served her closely.

From Liu Yan's eyes, she could see that Liu Yan was often inconvenient, so she called her over who was covered in injuries.

But when going out today, Liu Yan also said that she didn't need to get out of the car when she arrived at the Taimiao, and would arrange other maidservants to accompany the princess.

Thinking of this, Hsinchu nodded and said: "The concubine is right, the servant knows, and the servant will wait for the concubine in the carriage."

Ruan Mianmian seemed to have a slight smile on her lips, looked at Hsinchu, and heard the sound of footsteps walking away very lightly.

Seeing that Hsinchu lowered his eyes and seemed to be condemning himself, Ruan Mianmian slightly raised his hand and opened the car curtain again.

Followed by the flames of the carriage, he walked a few steps quickly, and he had already walked several thousand steps.

A smile flashed across his eyes, he touched the flying knife in his cuff, and taking advantage of Hsinchu's inattention, he turned his body slightly and secretly forced the flying knife in his hand out of the carriage from the bottom of the carriage.

A light flashed across his eyes, Ruan Mianmian raised his hand and stroked his sleeves, looked at Hsinchu and asked, "Hsinchu, go and ask, how long will it take to arrive?"

Hsinchu, who was confused and blamed himself, got up quickly when he heard it. Because he moved too fast, he directly pulled the wound on his back, and his whole face became a little distorted due to the pain.

Ruan Mianmian hastily pulled her gently and said, "Forget it, you have a good rest, I'll ask."

Hsinchu wanted to say something else, but Ruan Mianmian had already turned around, bent slightly and opened the car curtain directly.

Liu Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly noticed the movement on the side of the carriage, and quickly turned around.At the same time, the curtain of the carriage in front suddenly lifted, revealing Ruan Jiaojiao's heavily made-up face.

Emperor Fengzhao was seriously ill. Firstly, ancestor worship was due to the annual practice; secondly, it was to pay homage to the little prince who was born prematurely and died a while ago; prosperity.

Prince Feng Junxi is in charge of all matters related to ancestor worship this time.There are still three reasons.

The first is because Emperor Fengzhao was seriously ill and unable to worship the ancestors in person.And as the prince of Jian Guo, he naturally worshiped the ancestors for Emperor Feng Zhao.

The second prince who died young was the younger brother of his mother, so he should come here.

Thirdly, among the many concubines, princes and princesses accompanying him, there is also the queen and noble concubine, and the queen is his biological mother.The mother had just lost a son and was even more vulnerable.

Ruan Mianmian smiled faintly at Ruan Jiaojiao who poked her head out. Although Ruan Jiaojiao didn't see that face, the smile in those eyes made her inexplicably uncomfortable.

Ruan Qingqing, who was sitting next to her, looked at the face of the third sister Ruan Jiaojiao who was still smiling just now and then changed her face, and asked in doubt: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

Ruan Jiaojiao frowned, dissatisfaction appeared on her heavily made-up face: "Second Sister, I saw Princess Jiuyou just now."

Ruan Qingqing was slightly surprised, and quickly reached out to lift the curtain to see.The brocade curtains of the exquisite carriage at the back were closed, and no one could be seen in the carriage at all.

Ruan Qingqing put down the car curtain and asked the frowning Ruan Jiaojiao, "What's wrong with the ninth sibling?"

Ruan Jiaojiao snorted with some disdain: "Ninth sibling? Third sister, you're the only one who would call her third sibling."

Ruan Qingqing frowned: "Jiaojiao."

Ruan Jiaojiao frowned and said coldly: "Second Sister, I really don't know what you are afraid of. What kind of background is she, a brothel girl. It's the same as that bitch in Luo Yiju. Even if she becomes a princess with that status and not worthy to carry our shoes."

"Jiaojiao!" Ruan Qingqing frowned even tighter, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao who was full of indifference, warned: "No matter how she was in a trance before, but now, she is Princess Jiuyou. What kind of person is His Highness Jiuyou? You should know."

Ruan Jiaojiao's complexion suddenly changed when she heard the words "Ninth Highness".

Don't mess with anyone, don't mess with His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, this is what her father told her.Even if you are married to His Highness Fifth Prince, don't confront the people from Jiuyou Palace.

She didn't believe it at that time, thinking that the person she married was His Highness Fifth, His Highness held the military power, and His Highness Ninth was just a person who was sick all the year round and hardly ever stepped out of the palace.

With such a gap, she is not a fool.

It's just that on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, when she was walking in the imperial garden and saw the back of the brother who happened to bump into the lake, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and went up to him for a moment.

The two people by the lake were none other than the noble concubine of Nuanyue Palace and Liuyan, the personal book boy of His Highness the Ninth Prince.Seeing the expressions of the two, Ruan Jiaojiao recalled all the rumors before.

Although he never left home, almost everyone in the entire Fengtian Dynasty knew about His Highness Ninth Prince and Miss Gu's family.

But in the end, the emperor appointed Gu Ruoying, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, to marry in the palace.

Since then, His Royal Highness Jiu was imprisoned in Jiuyou Palace. It was clear that there was no communication between the two of them, and no one knew how secretly.

She entered the palace before because she was curious and asked the eldest sister Ruan Rongrong, who was already a princess, about His Highness Ninth Prince and Gu Ruoying.But the eldest sister kept silent, so she could only ask the girls in the mansion to go out and inquire about it if she had nothing to do.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince meeting Gu Ruoying, who was already a concubine, in the imperial garden, Ruan Jiaojiao stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief.

She saw Gu Ruoying leaning over and saying something to Liu Yan beside him, Liu Yan listened respectfully, and then handed something to Gu Ruoying.

When she looked at everything in disbelief, she didn't notice that someone was approaching a little bit.

When you get over it, put on a beautiful mask.Blue and green vines stretched wantonly on the exquisite mask, and there seemed to be clusters of flames beating in the amber pupils.

Everything in this world suddenly paled in front of this masked man.

It was just, just a mask.

"Ruan Jiaojiao? The third lady of the prime minister's mansion, Feng Chengao's concubine?" the masked man spoke softly, clearly smiling, but the coldness in the flames in his eyes caused bursts of coldness to rise from the soles of her feet. chill.

Her whole body tensed up suddenly, the oncoming cold overwhelmed her, she stood there and stared wide-eyed, watching the slender white hand stretch out to her neck little by little.

There was a cold touch on her neck, Ruan Jiaojiao looked down at the hand that suddenly grabbed her neck, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
