Chapter 169 Deja Vu
Also, if you encounter any unnecessary troubles, Yu'er doesn't need to pay attention to them, so as not to bring yourself unnecessary troubles."
Jiang Shuyu looked at Xiao Jingchuan in surprise, wondering if he was talking about the person she had picked up today. However, she had not spread the news of what had happened to her today, so she thought she was overthinking it.
Xiao Jingchuan looked at the doubt in Jiang Shuyu's eyes and felt a little nervous. He was about to explain when he heard a noise outside. Xiao Jingchuan raised his eyebrows and said to Jiang Shuyu, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early. Remember what I said!"
Xiao Jingchuan left in a hurry after he finished speaking. Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but laugh at his departing figure. She hadn't asked anything yet, but he looked so guilty. If someone didn't know, they would think he was keeping an eye on his whereabouts! The prince actually climbed over the wall in the middle of the night. It was a pity to think about it.
Yu Lan walked in from outside and saw Jiang Shuyu staring out the window in a daze. She immediately walked over and said to Jiang Shuyu, "Miss, it's getting colder at night. You can't stay by the window for too long. Be careful not to catch the cold air. If you catch a cold, you'll suffer again!"
Seeing Yu Lan's nervous expression, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but look at her and said, "I see. You're so careful at such a young age. What will you do in the future?"
"That servant is all for the good of the young lady. If the young lady wasn't weak and had been raised in pampering since childhood, why would this servant be so nagging? Now I've actually made the young lady dislike me!"
Jiang Shuyu looked at Yu Lan's angry face, a hint of smile flashed in her eyes, knowing that Yu Lan was thoughtful, she immediately joked,
"Look at you! This girl is really getting bolder and bolder! I say one thing, and she has ten more to say, and I can't do anything to her. Isn't she asking for trouble?"
Yu Qiu looked at the two helplessly and hurried forward to mediate, "Young lady, you know Yu Lan has a stubborn temper. Now that she sees you like this, won't she be furious? Young lady, you must take good care of yourself in the future and make sure we maids don't miss you!"
Seeing Yuqiu coming forward to serve, Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll be more careful in the future, is that okay?"
Seeing the smile in Jiang Shuyu's eyes, Yu Lan couldn't help but chuckle, then looked at Jiang Shuyu and said, "This is what the young lady said herself. If I see you taking advantage of the coolness again in the future, you will be severely punished!"
"Okay, from now on I will listen to Miss Yulan. Is that okay?"
"Girls are always teasing me, so I'd better keep quiet!" Yu Lan said, then left with the wooden bucket. Yu Qiu came forward to tuck in the quilt for Jiang Shuyu, and then went to a small room beside to wait on her at any time.
Jiang Shuyu was lying on the bed when she remembered the identity of the man she met today. She had forgotten to tell Xiao Jingchuan about it. However, considering his status, he would not stay outside any longer. Thinking that she had to go to her master tomorrow, Jiang Shuyu could not help but put the matter aside.
Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanmo Kingdom has come to Kyoto. If my grandmother knew about this, she would probably be very happy. However, given the current situation, I don’t know if the two of them can meet.
When she thought of this, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little torn. With so many thoughts in her mind, she fell into a deep sleep before she knew it.
When Jiang Shuyu woke up, it was already daybreak. When she heard Ruan's voice outside, she immediately regained consciousness. Ruan was not feeling well and had been staying in the yard to take care of her baby. She had not come out for a long time. But now she came to her yard. Jiang Shuyu was very confused and walked out immediately.
Ruan looked at Jiang Shuyu coming out, her eyes full of smiles, and hurriedly picked up the clothes she had prepared and walked towards Jiang Shuyu.
"Come and choose which one you like, so you won't be rude to others during the palace banquet!"
Listening to Ruan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She looked at Ruan and asked, "Palace Banquet?" How come she didn't know about the palace banquet?
Looking at her surprised expression, Ruan couldn't help but shook her head helplessly, with an expression that said, "As expected."
"I knew it. If I hadn't come to remind you, you would have forgotten about it. Now your father hasn't returned yet, but the Crown Prince of Nanmo has already arrived in Kyoto. His Majesty naturally won't wait for him. He will arrange a welcoming banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Nanmo. He has already issued an order to allow ministers of the fifth rank and above to attend with their families. Although your father hasn't returned, our General's Mansion will naturally not be left behind. The old lady will also send someone to notify you, so you should make some preparations as soon as possible!"
Seeing Ruan enthusiastically choosing a dress for her, Jiang Shuyu finally remembered that there was such a thing, but she didn't take it to heart at that time. Now that it was suddenly mentioned, it made her a little confused.
However, this was originally a matter of the court, so how could it involve family members? Thinking of what happened at the beginning, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but frown. This was surprisingly consistent with what happened at the beginning. I wonder if all this was a conspiracy of the superiors.
Thinking of the man she brought back yesterday, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but narrow her eyes. In his current condition, it was really not suitable for him to travel. However, she guessed that Nangong Junze would not miss this good opportunity. After all, his whereabouts had been exposed. If he continued to hide in the dark, he would not only face endless assassinations, but also the suspicion of Emperor Shunqing. After all, deceiving the emperor was a big taboo.
Even though the Nanmo Kingdom is no longer the small border country it once was, if it becomes an enemy of the Dongli Kingdom, it will not be able to gain any advantage for a while. Nangong Junze will naturally not do such a trick that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.
Jiang Shuyu was right. At this time, Nangong Junze had already arrived safely outside the city gate. Xiao Jingchuan looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had seen him somewhere, but the man in front of him was wearing a mask that covered half of his cheek, making it difficult to see clearly.
The people nearby couldn't help but whisper to each other when they saw Nangong Junze acting like this, wondering what Nangong Junze's intentions were!
"Why is Prince Nangong wearing a mask? Is he too ugly and needs to cover up a bit?"
"How is that possible? I've heard that the Crown Prince of Nanmo is the most handsome man in the country. How could he be ugly? I think it's probably because he's so stunning that he has to wear a mask to avoid causing a sensation!"
