Passion On Beauty Rather Than Power - C246

slept for eight months. Autumn passed and winter came, and then winter came. The next year, at the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the Hibiscus tree in the entire city gradually bloomed with flower buds, in twos and threes. Nangong Waner, who was once the princess of Prince Zhan, seemed to be forgotten by the people, and quite a few things had happened in Shangjing City recently.

Nangong Waner’s former best friend, Liu Zhe was already pregnant. Although it was inconvenient for him to eat, he would still occasionally run over to Prince Zhan’s Mansion to see the sleeping Nangong Waner.

Every time Liu Ru came to Prince Zhan’s Mansion, she would stay there for half a day. She was especially patient as she told Nangong Waner all the fun and gossip about the things that happened in Shangjing City.

At this time, because of Xiao Ze’s outstanding performance, he was promoted by the emperor to be a Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice step by step. Xiao Ze was busy with official affairs, but he still took time to accompany Liu Zhe to the Prince Zhan’s Mansion to see Nangong Waner.

However, on this day, the door to the Prince Zhan’s Mansion was locked again. No one dared to open the door, even though Liu Ruo had knocked on the door.

“Open the door!” Where are you! ” Logically speaking, no matter how hot-tempered Liu Ru was, she wouldn’t dare act so wildly in Prince Zhan’s Mansion. But Nangong Waner was her best friend and she cared about her friend.

After a long while, Liu Ru felt a little tired from patting on the door. Finally, a maidservant coldly opened the door, revealing a small gap. She raised her face and pointed her nose at Liu Zhenyi as she said, “Yo, isn’t this Mistress Xiao? Why has Mistress Xiao come to the Prince’s Mansion?” Would you like me to pass on a message to my Miss? ”

Liu Ru was stunned for a moment. She suddenly had no idea who the person who opened the door was. When did the Prince’s Mansion recruit such a sloppy-looking maid?

“This is Qin Ruxue’s personal servant, Peach Blossom.” Xiao Ze looked at the servant girl, and then softly whispered into Liu Ru’s ear.

“Oh …” I say, why do I dislike you so much? ” Liu Ru rolled her eyes and said indifferently.

The servant girl was infuriated.

Liu Ru puffed up her stomach again, and touched her belly with her hands, then raised her chin up high, looked at the servant girl and said a little arrogantly: “How come Qin Ruxue is living in Prince Zhan’s Mansion? I came to visit my good friend Nangong Waner, quickly open the door. ”

“Sorry, I can’t.” The servant girl beamed a very congenial laugh.

“Why not?”

“Now that the Prince Zhan’s Mansion’s mistress is my family’s young miss, and my young miss is my Prince Zhan’s Mansion’s mistress, ah, my young miss says that she can’t do it, then she can’t.”

“You …” Liu Ru was so angry that she couldn’t take it anymore. She was about to extend her hand to slap the servant girl when the servant girl closed the door of the mansion heavily.

“Bang!”

Liu Ru and Xiao Ze were locked outside the door.

Liu Ruo’s face turned ashen, and raised her hand, preparing to smash the door again. Seeing her imposing manner, Xiao Ze quickly stepped forward and held Liu Ruo’s hand, “If that’s the case, after coming out for a long time, you should be hungry, right?” Xiao Ze looked at Liu Zhe and laughed with a face full of pain.

Liu Zhi enjoyed himself and immediately lost his previous arrogant attitude, “I’m not hungry yet.” Liu Ruyi’s voice was suddenly very gentle.

“The child should be hungry, let’s go back first. Go and find out when we get back, then come visit Qin Ruxue another day to settle the score.” Xiao Ze held onto Liu Ru’s hand and planned to walk towards home. Liu Ru was also very obedient, and matched up to Xiao Ze’s action of holding onto her hand every single step of the way.

“Sigh, I never thought that I, Xiao Ze, would one day fall to relying on my face to survive.”

“What did you say?”

“No ….” “It’s nothing. I said, my wife, you’re so beautiful.”

Even though she had been married to Xiao Ze for a year, she still felt as if she was in a great dream, a blissful and beautiful dream.

Inside Prince Zhan’s Mansion, Qin Ruxue, dressed in all white, hired Tingting and stood modestly in the courtyard, waiting for the servant girl, Tao Hong, to report to him.

“How is it?” Qin Ruxue said with a smile on his face.

“Miss, Liu Ruyue might not be feeling well, so Mister Xiao took her back to the Manor first.” Peach Blossom made a very proper gesture of respect as she replied respectfully.

Oh, so it’s like that. I originally said that the Prince Zhan didn’t allow anyone to enter Nangong Waner’s courtyard, but we didn’t know how to explain it to Liu Zhi. We should have invited people to the Duke Palace for a cup of tea. Qin Ruxue’s exquisite makeup revealed a look of regret.

“Miss, I called Liu Ruochen to come in with Mister Xiao to take a seat. However, Liu Ruoruo is pregnant and her body is not feeling well, so she did not enter the Royal Mansion.” Peach Blossom spoke as if her words were true.

There were people coming and going in the mansion, and many servants couldn’t bear to see this pair of master and servant acting here. They all pretended to be very busy as they hurriedly drove back.

Maybe Qin Ruxue was tired from standing so she stood up and Peach Blossom hurriedly went forward to support her, “Miss, the wind in this courtyard is strong, don’t blow on your white face, I’ll help you bring Miss back to your room to rest.”

“Right.” Qin Ruxue smiled decently.

Qin Ruxue slowly walked back to his room.

“He’s walking very slowly. There’s a pit on the ground. He’s afraid of falling down.” The servants sweeping the courtyard looked as if they couldn’t bear to see such a scene, and started pointing at Qin Ruxue from behind.

“That’s right, that’s right. Who’s going to show off their usual demeanor for? It’s not like the prince is in the manor.”

“That’s right, that day I heard Qin Ruxue throw things in the room, she had even secretly packed and threw them away, afraid that they would ruin the reputation of her young miss.”

The steward of the prince’s mansion saw another group of people gather in the courtyard to watch the commotion and gossip. He was somewhat displeased. “Cough, cough …” Just as the Duke Palace butler wanted to call Liu Hong to take care of this matter, he suddenly remembered that Liu Hong had been chased out of the palace by the Duke for several months. The steward of the Prince’s estate was also somewhat dissatisfied, sighing helplessly.

“Do what you have to do. Since when did the people of our King’s Manor become so unruly? Wait until the Prince comes back to watch over you all.” The steward of the Prince’s estate suddenly reprimanded the bunch of gossiping servants.

In Qin Ruxue’s room, the moment Qin Ruxue walked back to his room, the dignified look on his face immediately disappeared. His face was extremely gloomy, and he sat by the table, not saying a single word.

Peach Blossom naturally knew what her master was thinking about.

Back then, the empress dowager had ordered Qin Ruxue to stay in the Prince Zhan’s Mansion, and it was in the name of helping to take care of Nangong Waner. The empress dowager had thought that the Prince Zhan would refuse her request, but in the end, the Prince Zhan had not rejected her.

Qin Ruxue was originally very happy, thinking that the Prince Zhan had finally changed her mind. Or perhaps, Nangong Waner becoming a living dead man had become her opportunity.

But who knew that the Prince Zhan would ignore her even after she entered the Prince Zhan’s Mansion, and did not even see her a few times. Thus, Qin Ruxue stayed put, but she couldn’t leave either, so she could only bite the bullet and begin to manage the affairs of the Prince Zhan’s Mansion.

Because of Nangong Waner’s matter, the Prince Zhan was not in a good mood, and did not care about many things, other than the matters of the imperial government, he did not stay at his residence all day, and did not seem to care much about Qin Ruxue taking care of the matters of the Prince Zhan’s Mansion’s family.

Thus, Qin Ruxue became the unorthodox “Mistress” of Prince Zhan’s Mansion.

Qin Ruxue took an inch and stepped forward, thinking to interfere in the Hibiscus Courtyard.

The Hibiscus Courtyard was the courtyard Nangong Waner resided in. Prince Zhan had mentioned the name, and they were called the Hibiscus Courtyard.

But who knew that before Prince Zhan could say anything, a Immortal Doctor appeared in Hibiscus Courtyard, along with a servant.

That servant did not place Qin Ruxue in his eyes at all.

“Who are you?” That servant looked very young, but no one knew where he got his arrogance from. For the first time, Qin Ruxue intended to enter that courtyard, but the servant immediately stopped him.
