Chapter 386 The Socially Horrible Princess and Her Secret Guards 10
*
Those officials were talking about state affairs, and the younger ones couldn't understand what they were saying and couldn't get a word in.
So Prince Ru'an asked the younger generations to go out of the mansion to stroll around and relax on their own.
The Prince Ru'an's Mansion is very large, and the young masters and ladies gather in groups of three or five.
Nowadays, there is no rule in the capital that men and women cannot get to know each other. As long as they don't do anything inappropriate, everyone is fine, so no one is too restrained.
Yun Wu and Rong Jin were standing in the corridor. She originally wanted to walk around with Rong Jin.
But...she turned her head and saw three or five young ladies about her age standing at the corner, looking at her a little embarrassedly.
Among them, a round-faced girl walked forward two steps with a slightly blushing face and bowed to salute.
"Your servant Jiang Tang greets the princess!"
"Ginger Candy? That's a pretty unique name for you."
Yun Wu said this seriously, and the round-faced girl shook her head shyly.
"Princess, the "Tang" in my name is the same as the "Tang" in "Haitang" (begonia)."
"Ah, so it's this Tang, this princess made a mistake..."
A faint smile appeared on Yun Wu's soft face. In fact, she was starting to get nervous inside, but she looked very calm.
Jiang Tang felt a little embarrassed when he saw Yun Wu's pretty face, so he said boldly:
"The princess is here alone today. There will be a Zhushui dinner at the palace tonight. Will I have the honor to sit at the same table with the princess?"
"And we..."
The three or four young ladies who were hiding behind the pillar behind Jiang Tang also came out to pay their respects.
Each of them was a lady from an aristocratic family, and it was their first time seeing the princess. They all thought she was very beautiful and wanted to get close to her.
"There are so many people..."
Yun Wu turned around and spoke to Rong Jin in a stammering voice, with a hint of hesitation in her rosy eyes.
Rong Jin's eyes were gentle, he moved closer to Yun Wu and whispered:
"If the princess wants, there's no harm in getting to know them."
Yun Wu was shaken again, but she was afraid of getting along with others, but...
"I will always be behind you, Princess. You don't have to be afraid."
Rong Jin said softly that he always called himself a servant outside, and looked at Yun Wu with a pair of narrow and soft eyes.
With Rong Jin around, Yun Wu seemed to feel a lot more at ease. She moved her feet and took two steps towards Jiang Tang and the others.
"This is the first time I see you, I don't even know your names."
Yun Wu was pretty, and others thought that she would be hard to approach as a princess, but they didn't expect her to have such a good temper.
She was soon surrounded by a group of noble ladies, who introduced themselves to her one by one.
Some people even asked her which embroiderer embroidered the dress she was wearing today, and some people liked her lip balm today.
Yun Wu was really not used to it at first, but when she saw Rong Jin, who had been silently watching her from behind, through the crowd, she gradually felt less uneasy.
Rong Jin looked at Yun Wu from a distance, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't jealous.
Because he wanted Yun Wu to be close to him and only him, but if she wanted to make friends, he would not stop her.
This will give her courage and she won't be afraid to speak to strangers like before.
Rong Jin wanted to walk closer to Yun Wu, but suddenly a man appeared in front of him.
"This girl..."
Lu Ziyao pursed his lips a little embarrassedly. He was not handsome in an orthodox way, and there was a bit of rebelliousness between his eyebrows.
Rong Jin's eyes were slightly cold, and then she saluted him like a palace maid.
"You are really tall, but have you ever learned martial arts?"
"No."
Rong Jin spoke, Lu Ziyao was obviously a little unconvinced, but it didn’t matter.
He looked at Rong Jin shyly, and seemed to be somewhat fond of this unique maid.
"What's your name? Can I..."
"Sorry, Mr. Lu."
Rong Jin said very politely, her facial features with makeup on looked as soft and beautiful as a woman's.
"I am thirty-eight years old, and I am divorced and have two children."
Rong Jin spoke calmly without blushing or beating his heart, then bowed his head and went to look for Yun Wu.
Lu Ziyao was left standing alone in the corridor with his thoughts in disarray.
That's too much information. Thirty-eight years old, divorced, and has two sons?!

Yun Wu politely declined Jiang Tang's offer to sit in the pavilion in the middle of the lake and drink tea together, and she and Rong Jin walked alone in the quiet backyard.
As expected, she still wasn't used to the feeling of being surrounded by a group of people.
Moreover, some people’s minds are not very pure. Although Yun Wu is not smart, she is not stupid either. She can see it with her eyes.
The backyard was obviously much quieter. Prince Ru'an's Mansion had prepared a nice room for Yun Wu to rest. Now she and Rong Jin were on their way there.
"Princess, would you like to stay for the Water-Driving Dinner tonight?"
The Zhushui Dinner is a popular dinner party in Beijing nowadays. In fact, it is just sitting in an open-air courtyard with flowing water around, and there are special female musicians playing elegant music.
"Stay here. The chefs at Ru'an Palace are pretty good."
Yun Wu nodded and said, holding up her cumbersome skirt, she walked up the steps in the corridor. Rong Jin leaned over behind her to help her adjust the hem of her skirt.
"I also asked them to remember to make me a smaller pig's trotter in the evening so that I can chew it."
She turned around and smiled at Rong Jin, then walked forward humming in a good mood.
Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the room next door, as if something fell to the ground.
Yun Wu had just passed by the door of the wing room when, with a "bang", the door was opened.
Yun Wu was startled. The person inside was actually Xiao Che. She had a vague impression of him.
Xiao Che looked very abnormal. He stood shakily at the doorstep, his eyes red and bloodshot, as if he was enduring something.
His vision was now somewhat blurred, and he could only vaguely see a woman standing in front of him, with a faint fragrance on her body.
Xiao Che suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun Wu's slender wrist.
The next second, his neck was grabbed by Rong Jin, and the hand that was tightly holding Yun Wu's wrist loosened its strength.
"What happened to him..."
Yun Wu hid behind Rong Jin with some fear. Xiao Che was being strangled by Rong Jin and couldn't move at all.
"Some drug that made me lose my mind."
Rong Jin did not elaborate. He felt that there was no need to let Yun Wu know about such dirty tricks.
Yun Wu seemed to have thought of something and took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
"Will this be effective if he takes it? It's the Qingxin Pill you asked me to carry with me before I left the palace..."
Rong Jin told her to carry this small medicine bottle with her whenever she went out, saying that it could be used to resolve any plots she might encounter.
Rong Jin did not say anything, but just increased the strength of pinching Xiao Che's jaw and forced him to open his mouth.
Yun Wu didn't dare to get close to Xiao Che, and threw a small pill into Xiao Che's mouth from a distance.
Rong Jin moved quickly and made Xiao Che swallow the pill.
"Now that the poison has worn off, Princess, you don't have to pay attention to him anymore, lest people misunderstand that you have any personal relationship with him."
"it is good."
Yun Wu nodded obediently. It was the first time she encountered such a thing, so the novelty was greater than the fear.
After Yun Wu and Rong Jin left, Lin Qiuyi, who had been hiding behind a pillar in the corridor not far away, came out.
She didn't expect the plot to be a little different. The plot was that her elder sister and the mistress were distracted by someone in the front yard and their plan was delayed.
Then she accidentally passed by the wing room and was pulled into the room by Xiao Che.
But when Lin Qiuyi came over just now, she saw Xiao Che and Yun Wu meet, but fortunately she did not stay for too long.
Lin Qiuyi opened the room and saw Xiao Che still lying on the ground, covering his eyes with a headache.
She looked around vigilantly, then entered the room and closed the door, then struggled to help Xiao Che up from the ground and lean him against the table.
Lin Qiuyi did not leave. After waiting for a while, Xiao Che seemed to have finally returned to normal. He frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was a strange woman. He felt a headache. He had just drunk a glass of wine and realized something was wrong when he returned to the room.
Then he seemed to open the door and saw a woman. Was it the person in front of him? And now he felt that the effect of the medicine in his body was slowly fading away...
"Did you save me?"
Xiao Che asked hesitantly. Lin Qiuyi's eyes froze, as if he was struggling with something.
Then she nodded slightly in agreement.
