Chapter 17: Clever Attack on Rumors
"Zhou Cheng, let the carriage stop at Jinxiu Building." Walking to the most lively street in the imperial city, Jing Rong looked at Mu Xuefu and frowned, thought for a while, and ordered: "Go to the street to buy a hat first." ”
Mu Xuefu first wondered what a big man wanted a hat for, but when the hat was brought in and put on her head, he realized that it was actually for her.
"Why does the prince want his concubine to wear this?"
Jing Rong tied a beautiful knot with the rope in her jaw and said, "The princess is so beautiful, as long as this king is alone." ”
"Doesn't the prince want to tell the world that you didn't marry an ugly wife? You know, a lot of people out there are feeling sorry for you. Mu Xuefu pushed away his face that was getting closer and closer to him and asked.
Jing Rong was not annoyed when he was pushed away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, warm as jade, and said: "Didn't the princess say that the rumors will be broken one day, and there is no need to go out of her way to clarify?" ”
The smile in the white gauze curtain slowly condensed, losing its previous warmth, and through the cascading dew, the silhouette and eyebrows of the person in front of him could be vaguely seen. She didn't understand what he was thinking at all, and said, "The prince really has a good memory, and he even remembers what the concubine has said." ”
"Xuefu's words, this king has always remembered them well." The carriage stopped, and Zhou Cheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and bowed to the two of them to get off. Jingrong took her hand, bent down slightly, helped her up, and carefully hugged her out of the carriage.
The place where Jingrong appeared naturally got a lot of attention, and this was the first time that the people saw King Chen coming to Jinxiu Tower, and they all talked about it. Seeing Mu Xuefu holding his shoulders again, they were all guessing which concubine in the house or whose family was beautiful.
Mu Xuefu's waist is slender and manly, walking like a lotus step is fragrant, Luo clothes are fluttering, light clothes are flying, although he has not seen his appearance, but his style is left behind, which adds a bit of mystery.
The two of them walked into a jewelry shop, and the boss saw that it was His Royal Highness King Chen, and quickly took out the best jewelry in the palace for the two to choose.
"I don't know what style this young lady likes, if the small shop doesn't have it at the moment, as long as the young lady commands, the small one will be asked to do it immediately, and the custodian lady is satisfied."
Jing Rong took out a blood red jade bracelet from the brocade box and put it on Mu Xuefu's hand, glanced at the shopkeeper with cold eyes, and said coldly: "It's the princess." ”
The shopkeeper was shocked, he didn't want the woman in front of him to be the legendary Princess Chen, didn't he say that this Princess Chen was not loved by King Chen? He suddenly came back to his senses, became even more flattering, and said with a smile: "It's a small damn one, you don't know Mount Tai with eyes." The princess is graceful and luxurious, peerless and graceful, and the little one just thought that she had met a fairy, and she didn't want this fairy to be Princess Chen. ”
Mu Xuefu smiled faintly, and said coquettishly: "Lord Wang, look at your words, this boss compares the concubine to a fairy, if you say another word, I am afraid that the concubine will become the queen mother." Her voice is coquettish, and there is a hint of sweetness, which makes people listen softly.
Jing Rong looked at her dotingly, her voice was moist and deep, like spring water, and said, "The queen mother is too old, how can she be as good as Fu'er?" ”
"The prince is used to coaxing his concubine to be happy." Mu Xuefu's voice was even more sweet and charming, but the temperature in her eyes was completely lost, she raised her wrist and said, "The prince's vision is excellent, so I want this." ”
After wandering around, Mu Xuefu picked out a few pieces of jewelry and fabrics and left the store with Jing Rong. But people's curiosity did not stop, and they ran to the shop where King Chen and his wife had bought things just now.
"Who was with King Chen just now?" The do-gooders gathered around the shop and asked.
The boss glanced at the back of the carriage of King Chen and his wife, and said, "It's Princess Chen." ”
"Boss, boss, do you see what Princess Chen looks like?" A middle-aged woman dressed as a wealthy man was the first to ask.
"What did King Chen buy for Princess Chen?" The people around him also asked.
"What expression do you see on King Chen?"
"Wasn't King Chen defeated by Princess Chen? Why are you still so close today? ”
"King Chen's people are so good, even such unbearable-looking people can endure it, and their hearts are so good. If this were an ordinary man, he would have divorced his wife and ordered him to marry. ”
The group of people asked in a rambling manner, and the boss couldn't interject when he wanted to answer. He waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, I think the previous ones are all rumors." Although I didn't see Princess Chen's appearance, I knew that she must be a beauty when I saw her appearance and heard her voice. What's more, King Chen is very fond of him, as long as the princess likes it, the prince will let people wrap it up without looking at it. I see, King Chen's favor for Princess Chen is no less than that of King Rui for Princess Rui. ”
"Really? Why did Princess Nachen cover her face with a veil, wasn't it because she was too ugly to cover her ugliness? A woman in pink was not convinced, and she did not believe what the shopkeeper said.
The man in the dark blue coat next to him glanced at the woman who had just spoken with disdain, sneered, and said, "I believe what the boss said, that princess has a slender and delicate posture, how can she have an ugly face?" I didn't believe this rumor when it first spread, but today the boss has confirmed my conjecture. Why does this girl say that wearing a veil is to cover up her ugliness? Maybe the princess is too beautiful, and she is afraid that you will be ashamed of yourself and deliberately cover it up. ”
"What do you mean? Did you mean that this girl was ugly? Hmph, you don't spill urine to take care of yourself, you don't deserve to lift shoes for King Chen! The woman was furious, and pointed at the man in the dark blue coat and scolded.
The man in blue snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You are still self-aware. With that, he threw up his sleeves and left the shop, leaving the woman alone with a cursing voice.
A woman standing at the door couldn't stand it, and patted the girl's shoulder, "I said that you also pay attention to your image of this girl, look at how you compare with Princess Chen?" If you want me to say, this princess and princess are harmonious and affectionate. Maybe the previous rumors were all spread by the princess, it depends on whether this prince dares to marry her. And King Chen did carry the princess into the palace, but he didn't greet his relatives because he happened to be sick. The prince did not withdraw from the marriage because of the rumors that she was riddled with evil ghosts and diseases, which made a beautiful couple. You say I guess that's right? ”
Someone chimed in: "It's possible, it's possible." Isn't there a lady in the play who pretends to be ugly in order to test her husband's character? This princess may have learned this method to test the prince. A noble person like our prince is naturally not like ordinary men who attach importance to hue, but treats the princess gently, which opens the princess's heart. ”
There was a lot of noise in several shops, and everything that was said could make up a play. And the blue-clothed man who had just left walked out of the Jinxiu Building and walked towards the street on the left, and when he passed by a person, he said softly: "People have been planted in various places, and the rumors of the princess will be broken tomorrow." ”
