Chapter 47 Goodbye Princess Shangyang
"Your Majesty is very considerate, and this is very good."
Concubine Qian thought about it, but it was a pity that when she was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she didn't fall in love with her son. After all this fussing, the royal family kept going back on their promise.
This is also a taboo, but canceling the marriage will inevitably seem to look down on the royal family. For such a well-behaved girl to be praised by the queen again, the Jiang family will not feel aggrieved.
The queen asked her to accompany her today, presumably because she wanted to have one more person in charge to see if Jiang Ruohua had any ulterior motives, but now it seemed a bit unnecessary.
Jiang Ruohua was sent to Princess Shang Yang's palace by the palace servants. Now Princess Shang Yang was in good health, wearing bright palace clothes, and walked towards her with a smile when Jiang Ruohua came.
"Your Majesty, please give your regards to Your Highness the Princess." Seeing her coming out, Jiang Ruohua went up the steps and bowed down, but Princess Shangyang accepted her greetings. This etiquette was not fulfilled.
"You're here." The way Princess Shang Yang smiled was somewhat similar to the Queen's. Not only her appearance, but also her expression. She gently took Jiang Ruohua's hand and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. I have been waiting for you for so long. coming."
"I'd like to thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Ruohua also smiled, "I haven't wished the princess well yet, but seeing that Your Highness is safe and sound today, my heart is completely relieved."
They were girls of similar age. After the two of them smiled, Jiang Ruohua waved behind her. Hua Chan was still holding a box in her hand. Her face was slightly red and she said: "I heard at home that the princess fell into the water. I hope I can express my feelings. Today, my daughter came to the palace, and my family specially asked me to bring her with me."
Opening it, there was a human body of good quality lying inside. The third lady herself could not get such a good thing, but the Duke's Palace could still get it.
But the left and right are for Princess Shangyang, so just give them as they are.
Jiang Ruohua didn't hide it, she just said it was prepared at home. Who in the capital didn't know that the elder of the Jiang family could be the head of the family, and she was now the third lady in charge of the Jiang family.
Sure enough, Princess Shangyang just took one look at it, said "spend money", and asked the palace servants to collect it and take it to the store. She didn't have much impression on this ginseng.
Jiang Ruohua laughed in her heart, she just wanted to say hello to the third lady from a distance, and she was using something that didn't belong to her to cling to the 'Emperor's Favor', but she didn't take any credit at all! All reserved for the third lady!
But it was obvious that Princess Shang Yang did not care about Jiang Ruohua because of this, and pulled her into the palace: "Come, sit down quickly, I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a table, and I don't know if you like it or not."
Jiang Ruohua was pulled by Princess Shang Yang to sit down, and it happened to be lunch time. She chuckled and said, "The smell is very appetizing, and I don't know which one to eat first."
"As long as you like it." Princess Shangyang sat at the main seat, "Then let's have a meal."
They didn't say much during the dinner. The royal chef's skills were indeed excellent. Jiang Ruohua liked to eat meat, so the royal meal was handled very properly. The spices were used to remove the fishy smell of the meat, while retaining the aroma of the meat. Jiang Ruohua could tolerate it, but there was no need in front of Princess Shang Yang.
To make friends, you need to be honest with each other. No one will be friends with a person who is full of mystery. Otherwise, if he is stabbed in the future, he will not know who did it.
It just so happens that this is what Princess Shang Yang needs. There are too many flatteries in the palace and too little true temperament. Princess Shang Yang likes to be quiet, mostly because she doesn't want to have too much communication with those flatterers.
"Bring the plate of eight-treasure duck in front of Miss Jiang." Princess Shang Yang naturally noticed it. As the owner of the princess palace, every move of the guest cannot escape the owner's gaze.
Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips and smiled softly, her face flushed: "Thank you, Your Highness."
This eight-treasure duck tastes really good, even better than what the chef makes at home. It's a pity that it's not at home, otherwise it should be eaten with open arms.
Hua Chan understood her thoughts, so she tried to pick up as much as possible with each chopstick without going too far. If she put it into a bowl, she could eat a few more bites.
It’s so easy to draw a cicada, you better understand her!
Lian Zhili stood next to Princess Shang Yang and served her dishes. Most of the dishes put into Princess Shang Yang's bowl were meat dishes, but Jiang Ruohua preferred sweeter ones, while Princess Shang Yang preferred spicy food.
But more importantly, there is no pleasure without meat.
However, Princess Shang Yang's appetite was not that big and she ate less. Seeing the plate in front of her, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly. It was a coincidence. She didn't expect that Jiang Ruohua's taste was quite similar to hers.
"You all go down."
After thinking for a moment, Princess Shangyang suddenly kicked everyone out.
Lian Zhi bowed and went down with the other palace attendants. Hua Chan was slightly stunned, and then followed Jiang Ruohua after nodding.
There was no one around, so Jiang Ruohua seemed to have guessed something, and then Princess Shang Yang said, "I guess you don't feel comfortable in many people, so it's better to be like this, just you and me."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness," Jiang Ruohua smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "My daughter, it is better to be respectful than to obey."
After saying that, she carelessly took away one of the chicken legs. Seeing her like this, Princess Shang Yang also took away the other one. They were all well-behaved women in front of others, but now...
There was sauce hanging on her little mouth, and she was eating so unhappy. Princess Shang Yang gently swallowed the mouthful of meat and said, "Try that one. This is the roasted pork that the new imperial chef is best at, and it tastes the best."
Jiang Ruohua was not in a hurry. Although she ate more hurriedly than before, she did not look rude. At least her hands were clean. She picked up the chopsticks and picked up the roasted meat that Princess Shangyang mentioned. She tasted it. It was fat and thin, and melted in her mouth. Her eyes lit up and she nodded to Princess Shangyang: "Delicious."
There is a rule in the palace that you can't eat more than three times, but it doesn't stop others from serving you food. If you want to eat, you will naturally serve each other food. You use your chopsticks to eat roasted meat, I use my chopsticks to eat roasted chicken, you use your chopsticks to eat fish, and I use my chopsticks to eat lamb. No one deliberately mentions the rules.
"I am always bound by rules on weekdays. It's rare to have such a free time." Princess Shangyang has a small appetite and feels full before she eats much. She wipes her mouth gently with a handkerchief. Although it is indulgent, the dignity and elegance engraved in her bones have not diminished in the slightest.
"This minister is also surprised. I have only heard people say that Her Highness is noble and quiet, but it turns out that Her Highness can be so straightforward in private." Jiang Ruohua was really surprised by this. This was something she didn't know. She only knew that Princess Shangyang was very insightful and a smooth person. Now she is really surprised!
After looking at each other, they laughed one after another. Princess Shangyang asked, "It is rare to see a noble lady with a good appetite like you in the capital. Is it because you practice martial arts?"
