Volume 2, Chapter 241: The Crown Princess

When the folks in Dongzhou's family have conflicts, they just curse, fight, and spread gossip behind their backs. The good and the bad are all in the open, and not many people smile on the outside but make knives behind their backs.

Rong Chuan was afraid that Shangguan Ruoli would suffer a big loss if he didn't know how to 'fight' between the high sects in the capital.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at his worried and anxious look, and felt warm in his heart. What tricks has she not seen before? It's not that easy to scheme against her!

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can handle it. However, I have been in the capital for such a long time, why did the Crown Princess think of summoning her with a reward?"

Rong Chuan had already found out clearly, "It was Princess Shun who reminded the Crown Princess when she paid her respects to the Imperial Grandmother."

"Ha!" Shangguan Ruoli sneered, "I guess it's that guy!"

Rong Chuan didn't know what happened more than ten years ago, so he asked in confusion: "Aren't you and Princess Shun cousins?"

Shangguan Ruoli couldn't explain it well, so he said: "Anyway, just remember that Lin Jiahui has no good intentions towards me."

Rong Chuan said seriously: "I understand. I brought two nuns here to teach you some etiquette rules and taboos when entering the palace, so as not to cause trouble."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "You are still thoughtful."

The etiquette and rules here were different from what she knew before, and she needed to get familiar with them.

Xie and Shangguan Ruolan quickly received the news and hurried over. They met at the entrance of an alley and went to Shangguan Ruoli's home together.

Xie grabbed Shangguan Ruoli's hand and said: "Don't be afraid, our family is not powerless. Your father can still speak when he is serving in front of the emperor. Even if the princess wants to bully you, she has to

Weigh it, weigh it."

Shangguan Ruolan also said: "Even the Marquis of Nan'an is not a soft persimmon! If the Crown Princess is smart, she must treat you better!"

Shangguan Ruoli pulled them into the room and said with a smile: "Don't worry, she can firmly hold the position of Crown Princess. She is not stupid and won't do anything to me openly."

Mrs. Xie snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "I have heard that the Crown Princess has a virtuous and gentle face, but her methods are very ruthless."

Shangguan Ruolan said: "The little devil is difficult to deal with. On the surface, you can't let people find faults and criticize you. I brought a nanny who knows the rules here to tell you the rules in the palace."

Shangguan Ruoli pulled them to sit on the soft couch and said with a smile: "Rong Chuan just brought two nuns here to teach me the rules."

Mrs. Xie asked the maid to put the things on the table, "I brought you clothes and jewelry."

Shangguan Ruolan smiled and said: "It's really a mother-daughter bond. I also brought clothes and jewelry, which are all new styles this year. They are not luxurious, but they are not low-key either."

Mr. Xie smiled and said, "We want to go together. Come on, let's try it out and see how to dress appropriately."

Shangguan Ruolan said to the maids: "Put up your clothes."

Shangguan Ruoli: "..."

Well, she has family to care for in this life, so let her enjoy being dressed like a doll. Try on clothes and jewelry one by one, and let them choose the best match.

Ms. Xie was a little picky, "My daughter really likes me. My Li'er looks good in everything she wears and is bright in everything she wears."

Shangguan Ruolan said sourly: "My mother has never praised me like this."

Mr. Xie glared at her fondly, "I praised you once, but you got used to it and forgot about it!"

Shangguan Ruolan laughed, pointed to the aqua blue skirt embroidered with pomegranate branches, and said: "Wear this suit. This Shu brocade is a tribute rewarded by the emperor. There are not many in Beijing. Wear that."

Wrap filigree with gold and pomegranate flowers on the head to show your complexion and mean good things."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Okay."

There were thirty-two pieces in the suit, which was a bit complicated. She picked out a few necessary ones, neither exaggerated nor simple.

Dongming Ziyu sent her to the entrance of the East Palace, "Go in, I'll wait for you here."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Don't worry so much, I'm not a fool either."

Dongming Ziyu said helplessly: "Identity is the most important thing. We are no longer the same identity as we used to be."

Thinking about Shangguan Ruoli kneeling down and kowtowing to others, he felt extremely uncomfortable, not to mention the possibility of others making things difficult for him and making him unable to kneel down.

Such a terrible rebirth!

Shangguan Ruoli patted his shoulder, "I can handle it, let's go!"

I jumped off the carriage, handed over the post, entered the East Palace, and was led inside by a young eunuch.

It was her first time to visit the palace of this era. The palace was very grand and majestic. Compared with her original home, it was less exquisite and more elegant and more grand.

There are two ginkgo trees in front of the main hall of the East Palace. They look to be old and have a pavilion. It is late autumn, and the leaves of the ginkgo are golden yellow. When the breeze blows, the yellow leaves fall. It may be that they were not swept on purpose, and the leaves fell on them.

The ground seemed to be covered with a golden carpet.

From far away, I heard laughter coming from the main hall. The Crown Princess must have invited the female relatives nearby.

The little eunuch who led the way said to the palace maid on duty at the door: "Mrs. Dong, Shangguan family has arrived."

Dongming Ziyu currently has no official position, and outsiders call her Dong Niangzi, or Dongshang Guanshi.

The palace maid went into the inner hall to report, and came out shortly, asking Shangguan Ruoli to come in.

Shangguan Ruoli entered and quickly glanced at the situation in the hall. There were not many guests, about a dozen. The people she knew were Lin Jiahui and her grandmother, Mrs. Xunyang Hou.

Mrs. Xunyang Hou's eyes were like the calm on the eve of a storm. She was very disgusted, but she could only hold back.

The Crown Princess is sitting on the main seat, wearing the Crown Princess's palace attire. She is elegant and luxurious. She is well maintained, her appearance is beautiful, she has a smile on her lips, but her eyes are sharp and cold, not angry and intimidating, which makes people respect and fear her.

Shangguan Ruoli lowered his eyebrows and knelt down in obeisance, saying, "The women of the common people pay their respects to the Crown Princess. May the Queen be blessed with peace and prosperity."

The Crown Princess looked at her and did not let her kneel for too long. She quickly said: "Forgive me!"

Shangguan Ruoli stood up, and his every move was etiquette, elegant and smooth, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not have any fear or anxiety when meeting the Crown Princess for the first time.

The Crown Princess smiled and said: "You saved the Second Young Master and provided your suturing skills to benefit the people and soldiers. I have long wanted to meet you and express my gratitude in person.

I am in the palace and don’t know what is going on outside, but I heard from Princess Shun yesterday that when you enter the capital, I will invite you into the palace and say thank you personally."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "Those are what civilian women should do. I don't dare to take credit."

Mrs. Xunyang said: "This is her honor, please don't take it to heart."
