Grandma Wan walked beside the sedan, sighing in her heart.

She is an old lady of the Cen family. She can also be the housekeeper of Prince An's Mansion, and she is also very powerful.

She could tell at a glance that Zhao Ruxi was different from what they imagined.

When he heard that Zhao Ruxi had returned to Beijing, King An signaled his daughter to invite Zhao Ruxi to his home. As for the purpose, everyone knew very well, it was to win over King Qi through Zhao Ruxi and let King Qi do his best to assist him.

However, her daughter was born in the Cen family and had been engaged to Prince An since she was a child. She was pampered by her parents' family and was a bit arrogant. The Suiping residence where Zhao Ruxi was born was a shabby settlement, and she herself grew up in a rural market.

Big one. Even if she is talented, in Cen Peixuan's opinion, there is nothing to be proud of.

For example, Mr. Kumu, even if his paintings are excellent, but if he is not a relative of the emperor and has a good relationship with the previous emperor and the current emperor, who in the real wealthy family will take a painter seriously? Among their disciples, there are many talented people.

Are there still few people?

If Zhao Ruxi hadn't been given the opportunity to marry King Qi, her girl wouldn't even be interested in taking a look.

In their perception, they always feel that people like Zhao Ruxi, even if they are smart, should be timid and unworthy of publicity. Even if they are strong on the outside, they are weak on the inside. In her family, girls are like this

She is born a princess and is pregnant with a dragon heir. She should not have the confidence to challenge her.

Therefore, it is more effective to give her a blow at this time and make her feel fearful than to treat her well and be intimate with her.

At her prompting, the girl also vaguely asked King An whether Zhao Ruxi should be given a warning. King An was non-committal. If he was non-committal, that meant he had no objection and could act according to the girl's temper.

This was their original thought.

But she had just met Zhao Ruxi, and even though she didn't say a few words, she always felt that Zhao Ruxi was not what they thought.

Only people with a strong heart can be so calm and calm in their words and deeds. What's more, Zhao Ruxi's appearance is more beautiful than her own girl, her temperament is better, and her aura seems to be stronger. Would such a person have low self-esteem and be meek?

Aunt Wan was worried that her girl, who had a high self-esteem, would lose her balance and do something rude when she saw Zhao Ruxi.

While Wan Wan was thinking wildly along the way, the sedan entered the second room through the gate, and four women were asked to carry the sedan in the second room. The group walked further in and stopped in front of a hall.

"Miss Zhao, please get off the sedan." Aunt Wan quickly went up to greet her.

After Zhao Ruxi got off the sedan, Nanny Wan invited her into the hall.

It wasn't until Zhao Ruxi went up the steps that a maid came out, saluted Zhao Ruxi and said, "Miss Zhao is here? My princess has been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Ruxi nodded slightly towards her, stepped towards the threshold, and saw a woman with beaded hair sitting above her. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with good looks, but a somewhat arrogant expression. She looked at her with unconcealed eyes.

When Qing Feng saw her, she became even more unhappy with Princess An.

Zhao Ruxi used to be an official in the Yamen, and it was not good to have too many subordinates. Now she is back in Beijing to prepare for marriage, and her status is different. In addition to taking Luo Shi and Lu Yun with her when she goes out, she also takes Qing Feng with her.

Of course, she also brought a lot of male guards, including the two given by the emperor, the two given to her by Xiao Lingyan, and Ma Sheng.

Now following Zhao Ruxi into Prince An's Mansion, besides Qing Feng, there are also Lu Yun and Luo Shi.

"Zhiwei has met Princess An." Zhao Ruxi saluted Cen Peixuan.

"Please get up quickly." Cen Peixuan did not get up, but just raised her hand. Aunt Wan, who was standing behind, quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Ruxi up.

Nanny Wan was anxious and wanted to remind her girl. But if she left the guests behind at this time and went into the house with Cen Peixuan to whisper, it would only make her appear even more indifferent and rude.

She could only pray in her heart that her girl had some discernment and could see that Zhao Ruxi was not someone she could suppress at will; she also prayed that Zhao Ruxi looked tough on the outside, but on the inside he was as weak and easy to control as they imagined.

It is a pity that Cen Peixuan did not receive the brain waves of her housekeeper.

After Zhao Ruxi sat down, she chuckled and said: "I thought you would go back to Beijing directly after receiving the imperial decree granting marriage. I didn't expect you to continue to stay in Nanyang. Not to mention the simplicity of the place, you talk to me all day long.

Aren't you afraid that King Qi will be unhappy when those men work together?"

"His Royal Highness King Qi is not unhappy. He said he respects me and lets me do what I like to do." Zhao Ruxi said.

Cen Peixuan choked, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Aunt Wan secretly complained, and quickly laughed and said: "The emperor has praised Miss Zhao's improved farm tools. This is for the benefit of the public. Miss Zhao's future blessings will definitely be great. My princess has always wanted to say goodbye to Miss Zhao."

Congratulations."

Her words reminded Cen Peixuan that Zhao Ruxi improved farm tools while staying in Nanyang, and even the emperor praised her. Now you are saying that she should not stay in Nanyang, but should return to Beijing to prepare for marriage. Doesn't that mean the emperor is wrong?

If Cen Peixuan had changed her tone and said congratulations to Zhao Ruxi, the relationship between the two would not be so tense.

It's a pity that Cen Peixuan has been used to flattery since she was a child, and no one has ever dared to dissent from her, especially after she became a princess.

She said: "Even so, if you don't improve the farm tools, other officials will do it. It's better for us women to stay in the back house to support our husbands and raise our children. The imperial concubine cannot come out in the palace, and I am indispensable.

My sister-in-law and cousin would like to remind Miss Zhao."

"I just hope that Miss Zhao will run out less and have less contact with foreign men in the future. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Prince Qi, right? You are not only the daughter of the Suiping Prefecture, but also the future Princess Qi, representing

What you want is the face of the royal family. Not to mention the royal family, our Cen family also wants to save face. You don’t want to provoke the elders of the Cen family to come out and teach you a lesson, right?"

By this point, Zhao Ruxi's patience had run out.

If she is not a time traveler like Xiao Lingyan, but she just married an ancient prince because of a mutual affinity; and if she doesn't know the relationship between Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Lingpu, she can still have a haha ​​with Cen Peixuan without hurting her friendship.

Who doesn't know how to make a false promise? Make a false promise, and then do whatever you want, and live your life according to your own ideas. It doesn't hurt your temper and can't be interfered by the other party. This is the way most people like to choose.

It's just that Cen Peixuan is clearly relying on the Cen family to bully her, and if she wants to act based on her face in the future, then she can't follow her wishes, otherwise there will be many places for her to dictate in the future.

Xiao Lingyan did not rely on the support of the Cen family, let alone the support of his elder brother. On the contrary, Xiao Lingpu wanted Xiao Lingyan to support him; and if Xiao Lingpu was still there and Xiao Lingyan wanted to seize the legitimate heir, the Cen family would be his first obstacle.
