Xiangmen Concubine: The Emperor's Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 156
Having not seen Feng Jiuyou return to Jiuyou Palace for three consecutive days, Ruan Mianmian became more and more certain that the situation in the palace was getting more and more intense.

After wandering around the Jiuyou Palace for a few days, Ruan Mianmian left the Jiuyou Palace with Hsinchu and two guards on the pretext that she wanted to go to the clothing store to choose fabrics for clothes.

Hsinchu objected when the princess wanted to leave the Jiuyou Palace, and tried every means to keep the princess in the Jiuyou Palace.But the princess insisted on going out to have a look, so she could only follow.

Followed by two guards.The two guards were masters of concealment, and she hadn't seen them in the past two days, but when she just stepped out of Jiuyou Palace and stepped on the low couch in the carriage, the two of them suddenly appeared.

Glancing at the two people who appeared suddenly, Ruan Mianmian thought that although Feng Jiuyou was not in Jiuyou Palace, Feng Jiuyou must be very clear about her actions in the past two days.

This feeling of being watched all the time made Ruan Mianmian unhappy.

After getting into the carriage, Hsinchu said with some concern: "Princess, why don't we go out to choose fabrics another day."

Ruan Mianmian was resting her eyes with her eyes closed, because she was still a little tired from walking too much these two days, she leaned on the soft couch and asked calmly, "Why?"

Hsinchu lowered his voice and said: "Princess, there are a lot of bad rumors in Jingling City recently, slaves... slaves are afraid that the princess will listen"

Ruan Mianmian didn't even lift her eyelids: "About His Highness Ninth Prince?"

Hsinchu bit his lip, lowered his eyes, with a tangled look on his face, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.

Before she could speak, Ruan Mianmian said calmly: "But the rumors about His Highness Ninth Prince and the Imperial Concubine?"

"En, ah, no, ma'am." Hsinchu's pupils widened suddenly, first casually admitting it, and then hastily denying it.

The corners of Ruan Mianmian's lips curled up slowly, with a faint smile: "You don't know what kind of person His Highness Ninth is?"

Hsinchu seemed to understand Wang Hao's meaning, and said quickly: "Wang Hao, we trust Your Highness, but, but"

Ruan Mianmian still didn't open her eyes: "Since you trust your Highness, why are you worried about the gossip of those irrelevant people?"

Hsinchu was slightly taken aback, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Princess, servant girl, servant girl is worried about the princess, you think too much."

This time Ruan Mianmian was taken aback for a moment, knowing that Hsinchu was trying to stop her before she came out because she was afraid of jealousy, so she couldn't help but smiled slightly.

Hsinchu said in a low voice: "Princess, although Your Highness has not returned to Jiuyou Palace these days, His Highness misses you."

"What are you doing every day, what and how much you eat every day, His Highness sends someone to ask you every day."

As if afraid that the princess would not believe it, Hsinchu hurriedly said: "Princess, yesterday you ate an extra pear, and this morning, Manager Wang brought in a lot of fresh pears."

"Okay, Hsinchu, I'm here to choose fabrics, what you want to talk about, let's talk about it another day." Opening his eyes and taking a faint glance at Hsinchu, Ruan Mianmian gently knocked his eyes.

Hsinchu bit his lip and said in a low voice, "Yes, Princess."

Ruan Mianmian kept smiling faintly until the carriage stopped, and the coachman's respectful voice came from outside: "Princess, we're here."

Putting on a white veil, he got out of the carriage supported by Hsinchu, stood at the gate of Qianfeng Xiuzhuang, looked at the four golden characters above, and flashed the scene of bringing Lianer here for the first time in his mind .

"Princess, do you want to go in?"

Ruan Mianmian withdrew her thoughts, nodded, and walked in with Hsinchu.

The business of Qianfeng Embroidery Village is very good, and there is an endless stream of customers coming and going.As soon as Ruan Mianmian entered the gate, she was a little dazed looking at a pink gauze dress hanging directly opposite.

Hsinchu hurriedly said to the boy next to him: "My little brother, please take off that pink dress and show it to our princess."

Those men, women and children who were looking at the clothes in the store never took their eyes off the veiled woman from the moment she stepped into Qianfeng Embroidery.

Just looking at those clear and transparent eyes makes people unable to move their eyes away.The figure is slim and slender, slim and graceful.

Her skin is very white, like suet white jade, crystal clear, with icy muscles and bones.

And that kind of innate nobility made them all make way for her, and they all automatically stood on both sides.

Many people couldn't help secretly guessing, who is this veiled and extravagant woman?

Looking at her bun, she is clearly a married woman.However, there was no news in Jingling City of such a beautiful woman getting married.

When they heard the dexterous maid beside her call her Princess, everyone was slightly startled.

A look of disapproval flashed across Ruan Mianmian's eyes, and she looked at Hsinchu and said, "Hsinchu, no need. I just think that the embroidery on that dress is exquisite, so I just took a second look."

"Wangfei doesn't like it?" Hsinchu was puzzled, looking at Wangfei's eyes just now, it was clear that she felt very nostalgic for that dress.

Ruan Mianmian said indifferently: "The clothes are indeed pretty, but they are more suitable for young women who are in the boudoir, not for married women."

Following the words of the princess, everyone looked at the pink gauze again. The workmanship of the gauze was very exquisite, just as the princess said, it was exquisite.

The pink color has a girlish playfulness and adds youthful vitality.On the edge of the collar are small delicate peach blossoms, which are lifelike and very beautiful.

But that dress is indeed more suitable for girls in the boudoir, not for married women.As a girl, she can be playful and beautiful, just like the butterfly on the skirt in the lower left corner of the dress, flying lightly.

However, if it is a married woman, the more suitable one is the kind of gentle and quiet, dignified robe.Moreover, pink is generally the color that wives of concubines often wear. Generally, wives of the main room wear red, bright red.

"Princess has good eyesight."

Hearing that a princess had arrived at Qianfeng Embroidery Village, Fang Quan, who was reading the accounts in the study on the second floor, quickly put down the account books in his hand and walked down quickly.

"Villain Fang Quan, see the Ninth Princess."

Surprised voices came from the crowd: "What, is she the Ninth Princess?"

"Ah, she is the woman His Highness Jiu brought back to Jiuyou Palace from Linglong Pavilion and proposed to the emperor within a month?"

"Ah, how could it be the Ninth Princess?"

"Why not? Look at her demeanor, so elegant and refined. Even with a veil, those eyes alone are so beautiful."

"Who knows what the face looks like under the veil? Besides, when have you ever seen royal nobles, such as princesses and monarchs, go to the clothing store to choose clothes in person?"

"That's right, if it's really the Ninth Princess, she shouldn't be here."

Many women couldn't help whispering and discussing in low voices.

Seeing that Hsinchu frowned, he showed the aura that the Ninth Concubine's maid should have: "The Ninth Concubine is here, why don't you be polite?"

Ruan Mianmian's eyes glanced across the crowd indifferently. The people who were still suspicious at first knelt down involuntarily when they met those clear and watery eyes.

"See the Ninth Princess, the princess is a thousand years old!"

Ruan Mianmian's gaze fell from the crowd to Fang who was kneeling in the front: "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you princess!"

The corner of Hsinchu's mouth curled up, and he purposely faced Fang Quandao who was standing in the front with a straight face; "Boss Fang, our princess is ready"

"Hsinchu, I want to choose to watch by myself, without introduction."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Mianmian walked straight to the shelves with various fabrics without looking at the slightly stunned people behind.
