As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 490 Princess Anyang
Zhang Liangdi, who was sitting on one side, also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has always been attentive to Zhao Zhao, but the girls next to him look at him with envy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others also agreed.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly and had no words.

Perhaps because she went out for a trip and saw more ups and downs, she no longer has the intention to figure out everyone's thoughts, and she is not willing to talk to each other. She maintains the attitude of just living in peace and harmony.

Concubine Xian saw that she didn't want to say more, so she smiled and turned to talk to Mr. Yu.

Xie Zhaozhao also lowered his head to drink tea.

Seeing Yunyao blinking at her, Xie Zhaozhao gave her a shallow smile in return.

Suddenly, a plate of pastries was handed to me.

Xie Zhaozhao looked back and saw that it was Princess Anyang who brought the jade cup with cakes on her table.

"This is what the cook in my house makes. It's no worse than the snacks in the palace. You can try it." Princess Anyang said.

Xie Zhaozhao was a little surprised that she would take the initiative to talk to him or express such friendly intentions.

But don't hit the smiling person. It's better to be friendly with others than to be enemies with them.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and nodded, pinched a piece of pastry and took a bite.

The pastries are sweet but not greasy, melt in your mouth, and are indeed extremely delicious.

Princess Anyang used the cake as an introduction and started chatting lightly with Xie Zhaozhao.

After a while, the duchess's wife and the female relatives of the ministers of civil and military affairs who came to the banquet had almost arrived. After everyone bowed, the concubine got up and went to the banquet hall.

Xie Zhaozhao naturally walked with Princess Anyang.

The two of them were not far behind Concubine Xian. Princess Anyang talked about Xiao Yi casually, "A few days ago, your second brother came to the house to pick up Huan'er. Yi'er saw him taking Huan'er to ride a horse, but she was very envious. You have to learn to ride a horse."

"I then looked for some generals of the armed forces, but he didn't like any of them. It must be said that those people's equestrian skills are not as good as your second brother's."

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes moved slightly and he said with a slight smile: "My second brother's equestrian skills are indeed very good. He taught me when I was a child."

"Yeah, I know."

Princess Anyang smiled and sighed, "You have been with the army since you were a baby. I also hugged you when you were a child. But later on, the war in the front became tense, and my mother-in-law and I were placed elsewhere, so we saw less of you. .”

Xie Zhaozhao doesn't remember this.

Princess Anyang is about the same age as her eldest and second brother. She is Yun Qi's aunt, and is at least seven or eight years older than Xie Zhaozhao.

Listening to her talk about those years, it doesn't feel like a casual reminiscing.

After all, there is really no old relationship between them.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said nothing, just said "Really?"

"Of course, I'm also familiar with your eldest and second brother..." Princess Anyang lowered her eyes, her expression gentle and elegant, "I heard a few days ago that your eldest brother's concubine had a childbirth accident. Hey... a woman."

Xie Zhaozhao also sighed softly, "I heard that the princess gave a generous gift to the newborn child, and also asked people to add sacrifices to Wan Ning. The princess is interested."

"After all, they are people who have known each other since they were young. Even though we have less contact now, I can't help but sigh when I hear some news... and Huan'er and Yi'er have such a good relationship."

"I have to take care of the people he likes and values."

Princess Anyang said lightly, then said casually: "By the way, I heard that your second brother brought a girl back with a big belly. Did she bring it back from Yaocheng?"

"He hasn't been back to Beijing for many years, but when he comes back, he gives people such a big surprise."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled slightly and said: "It's fate."

"right."

Princess Anyang said with interest: "Who is that girl? I heard that you have been to Yaocheng, do you know?"

"I went to Danzhou for business soon after I went to Yaocheng. I don't know much about this girl. I only know that she is a foreigner from the sea outside Yaocheng." Xie Zhaozhao replied with a faint smile.

Princess Anyang seemed to still want to ask, but Zhang Liangdi's voice came from ahead.

Princess Anyang went forward.Xie Zhaozhao's fingertips hanging under his sleeves pinched together gently, and a trace of doubt quickly passed through his eyes.

She could tell that Princess Anyang was not interested in her eldest brother or second brother.

She said that the matter between the eldest brother Xie Changyu and Yao Wanning was just a way to bring out the second brother and Sha Lan.

She was most interested in Shallan.

Xie Zhaozhao is suspicious, Princess Anyang is interested in Sha Lan?

She also remembered that she went to pick up Xie Huan and Xie Changqing at the corner gate of Princess Anyang's Mansion a few days ago. She had the impression that Xie Changqing was very withdrawn and was not close to anyone. However, she heard that he often visited Princess Anyang's Mansion after returning to Beijing.

Even if it was just to pick up Xie Huan, he seemed to be a bit diligent.

Could it be something?
"Sister Zhao Zhao!"

Yunyao came over and took Xie Zhaozhao's arm, and said with a sweet smile: "I know you returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, but I thought you must be tired from running around for days, so I didn't go over to disturb you!"

"do you remember me?"

Xie Zhaozhao laughed and said: "What are you talking about? You are so beautiful and cute, how could I not remember you? How can you be in Beijing for most of the year?"

"Okay, it's pretty good." Yunyao nodded and said, "It's just that I don't have anything special to do. In fact, it's just the same going back and forth. It's very boring. It's not as exciting and lively as Sister Zhaozhao outside."

"You think it's wonderful outside?"

"Yes."

Yun Yao nodded again, "When my father and mother were having dinner, they talked about what happened to you and Brother Qi outside. It was so amazing. Fortunately, there was no danger, but I heard that places like Qizhou and Northern Hebei The scenery is good.”

"It would be great if I could go out and take a look if I had the chance."

However, her identity meant that she was destined to be trapped in the capital and unable to get out, unless she married outside.

Yunyao sighed softly, then remembered another thing, and hesitated a little: "Sister Zhaozhao, but... did Mr. Lu go out of Beijing with you? Then you came back, why didn't he come back?"

"Mr. Lu will return to his ancestral home."

"Oh..." Yun Yao bit her lip, "Then when will he return to Beijing?"

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yunyao.

Yun Yao quickly said: "I, I wasn't injured before. He helped me heal and gave me medicine. I didn't even have time to thank him."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at her blushing cheeks, how could he not understand her girlish thoughts.

It's a pity that Lu Jingrong is destined not to stop for a certain woman, right?

Xie Zhaozhao sighed secretly when he thought of this, and said to Yunyao: "Sir, he said he would travel around the world to practice medicine and save people, but his return date is uncertain."

"what……"

Yun Yao whispered, her lips opening and closing, and her eyes showed a bit of sadness: "The return date is uncertain."

Xie Zhaozhao said nothing more.

Some things do not require persuasion, but require time to heal.

Xie Zhaozhao also quickly caught up with the others.

The female relatives walked to the banquet hall a quarter of an hour later and took their seats.

Because Xie Zhaozhao had made outstanding contributions in helping out in various places and was Yunqi's fiancée, she was assigned the seat at the front, followed by Concubine Xian and Zhang Liangdi.

She is a woman, but even if there is no clear reward for her actions and achievements, she has reached a height that no woman in the entire hall can reach.

She is sitting here not because of the imperial edict granting marriage, nor because of her status as the daughter of the Duke of Liang. Her ability is on par with King Dingxi.

As the fiancée of King Dingxi, even if others were jealous and envious, they would not have the confidence to compete with her.
