Chapter 497 Entering the Princess's Carriage
The little girl tilted her head and leaned on the shoulder of Marquis Dingyuan's wife, looking at the group of ladies with fake smiles, and felt that it was boring.
The princess' carriage had not yet arrived, so she had nothing better to do and started gossiping with the marquis's wife, "This lady has such a good temper, she looks like a rabbit..."
This Jiang Ling really doesn't look like her at all.
"you do not say!"
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan became excited and told the little girl in detail the interesting things that happened in the past.
Due to their status as men, Jiang Ling and Song Shen only greeted the elders who had connections with the family from a distance, and after the greetings, they stood beside the little girl.
Jiang An and the Marquis' wife were talking in low voices about past events, and the two of them were listening.
During this time, Jiang Ling's expression became more and more interesting. He was obviously very shocked and unbelievable about what he had heard about his parents...
Song Shen's expression became more and more strange.
In his impression, the general was a somewhat rough soldier. Although he was from a noble family, he was not fussy about trivial matters.
But I never expected that the general lived such a wonderful life when he was young!
At this moment, our young Minister Song felt that he shouldn't be here, but he had nowhere else to go, and he felt very awkward standing there.
Madam Hou was very excited and was talking excitedly...
A servant came running from the outskirts of the city, "Here they come...Here they come!"
"The princess' carriage has arrived!"
She smacked her lips and said that her dry mouth had finally come...
In the distance, a huge convoy was slowly approaching.
The princess' carriage was a three-horse carriage, and the horses pulled by it were rare fine horses. The carriage was covered with layers of flying gauze, making it extremely luxurious and extravagant.
Nearly a hundred Akabane guards led the way, followed by two teams of eunuchs and maids. The maids held delicate incense burners that slowly emitted smoke, and every step they took was very steady. The smoke continued to rise, and even the passing wind was stained with fragrance.
Look at the specifications of this ceremonial procession, it is second only to that of the Emperor and almost on par with that of the Empress Dowager.
Even though the princess was so outspoken, no one in the court dared to criticize her...
Who let this be a gift from the late emperor?
Behind the princess' carriage came the Duke of Song's carriage, and then a convoy that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan made a rough estimate and an expected smile flashed in her eyes.
Our noble princess is planning to live in Kyoto for a long time!
As the carriage approached, the city gate had already been opened wide to welcome it. The ladies straightened their clothes and bowed.
"Greetings, Princess. May you be safe and sound."
Various female voices rang out...
Everyone bowed their heads in greeting, except for two people.
One was the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, whom she had called sister since she was a child, and the other was the always rebellious Jiang An.
The little girl seemed to have sensed something and looked at the princess across the carriage.
"Please excuse me..."
The blue crow in front of the carriage took two steps forward, and with proper courtesy, repeated the princess' words, "Princess, please excuse me, ladies."
Two maids lifted the veil on the carriage slightly, revealing only half of the princess's delicate face.
"It's very windy outside the city, so I won't keep you any longer."
"Once I have settled all the matters, I will choose a day to invite the ladies to come to my house for a chat."
The lady with the highest social status among these ladies was the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, and she was the only one who was qualified to speak first at this time.
She smiled widely, trying to save face, "Princess, you are too polite... We are very happy to see that you are still as charming as ever."
"I am so arrogant, waiting for the princess to drink this delicious wine!"
In the carriage, the princess chuckled and said angrily, "Don't worry, Madam Hou, I will give you wine."
The other ladies smiled along, and on the surface the atmosphere at the city gate seemed harmonious.
Suddenly, the princess asked, "Has the Prime Minister's mansion arrived?"
Everyone was silent and dared not answer.
Everyone knows that Princess Nanshang and Mr. Xie are at odds with each other...
When the Prime Minister's wife was a newlywed, she suffered a lot from our princess.
Now that she has the confidence, the Prime Minister's wife never comes to where the princess goes.
What's more, today we are welcoming the princess into the city.
Several people who had always been on good terms with the Prime Minister's wife stepped forward and said, "Princess, the Prime Minister's wife caught a cold and is now too sick to get out of bed. She asked me to apologize to the princess."
This time, she was really sick...
It's just that it's not a cold, but excessive worry.
"Forget it, if you don't want to come, then don't come."
The princess sighed quietly, as if she was helpless about the Prime Minister's family's lack of etiquette.
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan rolled her eyes silently.
After being away from Beijing for a long time, this hurtful cat has turned into a fox and learned to be weird~
"An'an..."
Jiang An, who was originally watching the show, was called.
She shuddered, opened her round eyes, and smiled in the direction of the princess, "Aunt called me~"
The little girl was never shy, so she walked towards the carriage guarded by Akabane.
Qing Ya frowned, seemingly displeased by her offense...
The princess snorted and laughed, and asked the red feathers to disperse and let the little girl pass.
"You are not afraid..."
Even so many Akabane in armor couldn't subdue her.
"Auntie is kind and beautiful, Jiang An has nothing to fear~"
Look at this mouth, it must be covered with honey!
Is this still the little evil spirit from Kyoto in the past?
In this regard, Jiang An can only say: There is no way, who made her so beautiful~
A delicate hand reached out from the carriage.
"Come up and talk to your aunt."
"okay!"
Jiang An lifted up his clothes, feeling quite happy about what he got.
She agreed quickly and moved even faster, getting into the carriage in a flash.
The hand that Song Shen wanted to use to support someone was just lying there empty, which was a bit embarrassing.
"Shen'er, your father hasn't seen you for a long time..."
Song Shenyi curled the corner of his mouth, led the horse over and stood beside his mother's carriage.
"Shen'er escorted mother into the city."
The person his father is meeting right now is probably not him, but his own wife~
He didn't want to endure his father's resentful look.
As for the guards and subordinates that Jiang An brought with him...
Zhengyan scratched his head and looked at his brother helplessly.
The lady got on the car just like that?
Aren't you afraid that the princess might have other intentions?
Jiang An: I’m just afraid that she has no ulterior motives!
In the carriage, the little girl sat next to the princess and stared boldly at her aunt's face.
The princess touched her cheek and said gently, "But is there something dirty on my face?"
Jiang An grinned, "Of course not~"
"I was just thinking, everyone in our Jiang family has a beautiful life!"
"what…"
This little girl, I don't know whether she is praising others or herself~
Seeing her so lively, the princess' eyes were obscure and difficult to understand.
"It seems that my ninth brother has taken good care of you."
Jiang An straightened up with some pride, "Of course!"
After some pleasantries, the topic finally returned to Kyoto.
"By the way, I want to thank An An for finding a good job for Shen Er."
"Aunt, that's too polite~"
"Song Shen is a gentleman. Even if I don't recommend him this time, he still has a bright future."
