After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 235
~End of chapter 234
Ming Zhu knew that the princess was an extremely good person, she was kind-hearted, frank and candid.
Seeing that she wasn’t too resistant about this, Zhao Zhi was relieved, and he said immediately after, “I’ll take you to the palace to meet her.”
“Alright.”
The maid serving Ming Zhu had been changed. She didn’t know where Biying had been dismissed to by Zhao Zhi. She hadn’t seen Biying since she had returned to the capital.
The new little maidservant didn’t speak much, but she was very hardworking with her hands and feet.
Chapter 235
(83.4)
Ming Zhu changed into a lake blue gauze dress, tight at the waist. The fabric was a rare yanluo gauze, the gauze was floating and giving off a supernatural aura. On her waist, there were jade beads and tassels on the belt, which tightened her slender waist, making her chest appear fuller. Her hair was up into the most fashionable hair bun these days, with an exquisite golden buyao in it. She was wearing precious jade earrings on her soft earlobes, beautiful and graceful.
People in the capital only knew that the crown prince had already married a wife, and although there had been no wedding ceremony, but her title had already been fixed, and the name of the crown princess had already been inscribed on the jade imperial register, rightly and properly.
The daughters of the noble families in the capital all couldn’t help but try to inquire about what kind of sacred entity this crown princess, who had never shown her face, was. But unfortunately, no one knew. Even the princess was unclear about it.
It seemed like no one had ever seen her.
Zhao Zhi originally wanted to take Ming Zhu to his mother’s palace to greet her, but then he learned that his father had taken his mother to go horseback riding and hunting.
Ming Zhu’s hand was a little sore from him holding it, “My hand hurts, be gentler.”
Zhao Zhi sometimes just wasn’t able to control his force, he would always accidentally end up hurting her.
Ming Zhu then asked, “Where is Her Highness?”
Zhao Zhi thought for a moment, “She is probably messing around in the back garden.”
Ming Zhu didn’t want to interact with those noble girls with high status, but she was even more unwilling to stay alone with Zhao Zhi, so she removed her hand from his, “I want to go over there to see her.”
Zhao Zhi knew that she was deliberately avoiding him, and after a moment of silence, he hung the jade pendant that was hanging on his waist on the jade belt around her waist, brushed his fingers across her cheek, and then assigned two palace maidservants to accompany Ming Zhu to the back garden.
The garden was bustling with activity and noise, but the princess was not there.
The girls sitting were gathered in a group and talking and gossiping, mostly about the topic of the crown princess.
“Is it true that nobody has ever seen the crown princess? What planet did she appear from, that her fate is so good ?”
“I know right! No one has even heard of her name, she most likely is not a high-born lady from a noble family. She’s just a girl whose name is not known, but she flew straight up to the sky.”
“The crown prince’s harem is also clean, and his only concubine even died a long time ago.”
“This crown princess is truly blessed.”
Ming Ru, who was sitting on the sidelines, heard these words but she was not so angry. One year ago, she had already gotten married into a high official’s family. She had to live cautiously every day, but at least it was prestigious.
Some high-born noblewomen would flatter her whenever they came across her, and they would always speak courteously to her, for fear of offending her.
Ming Ru was once a step away from the position of crown princess, of course she was still bitter about it, but it was fine as long as the one who became crown princess was not her short-lived nemesis sister.
Her heart felt much better when she thought like this.
Ming Ru did not hide her distaste for Ming Zhu at all. She picked up the tea in front of her, lightly sipped it twice, and then slowly said, “It’s a good day where we can enjoy the lotus flowers, why are you mentioning her ? My appetite is getting ruined. ”
That short-lived ghost, it was good that she was dead.
Scourges all die quickly.
It was also fortunate that Ming Zhu died early, otherwise she didn’t know how much more obstacles she would have added to her life relying on that pretty face of hers.
When Ming Zhu appeared in the pavilion, she scared them all.
They screamed in astonishment, claiming that they were seeing a ghost.
Ming Zhu couldn’t help but laugh at their frightened looks.
Ming Ru gradually recovered her composure after a while. When her gaze swept a glance at the jade pendant on her waist, her complexion changed greatly, “His Highness even gave this to you?!”
“She, she, she, wasn’t she burned to death in a fire ?”
“I can’t, I’m going to faint.” After saying that, someone did really faint from fear.
The crowd gradually calmed down and scrutinized Ming Zhu with hostile eyes.
It didn’t matter that she was dead or alive.
No matter how beautiful she looked, the rules that should be followed still had to be followed.
“Miss Ming Zhu is a concubine, she was not even invited, according to the rules, and according to reason, how can she appear openly here in this place?”
“How come you’re still calling her a miss, she should be called Yiniang.” Ming Ru sneered as she said these words slowly.
(TL’s note : Yiniang is how you address a concubine with no rank.)
These words were extremely offensive.
Ming Zhu thought to herself that she also didn’t want to come here.
It was meaningless, no matter how many years had passed, these people were still as meaningless as before.
Ming Zhu did not even bother to say a word to them, she just stretched her waist, about to turn around and leave.
In just a short time, Zhao Zhi changed his mind and hurriedly caught up to her, only to see her being surrounded in the middle of the crowd without saying a word.
