Allure of a Country Maiden

The next day, Fu Ranhui and Zhao Youwei got married. Normally, the wedding between officials and ordinary people was not as complicated as a royal wedding, so there was no need to welcome the bride in the middle of the night. It only needed to be welcomed at the bride's family the next morning. Of course, this It is said that the homes of both men and women are not far apart.

As the sun rises slowly, the sounds of silk and bamboo orchestral music can be heard in the streets and alleys. It is an auspicious day for many people to get married, and there is a lot of excitement everywhere.

Shangguan Wanru has not left the house in the past few days since she came back. She asked Du Yijin to help Fu Ranhui add makeup yesterday. Prince An and Princess An saw that their daughter was always staying in her yard, unlike before they got married. She couldn't sit still for a moment and felt a lot dull, so she persuaded her to go to Fu Ranhui's wedding together, just to relax and have some joy.

Shangguan Wanru shook her head: "Have you forgotten, mother and concubine? I'm still in the period of filial piety, so I won't go."

Shangguan Wanru's tone was relaxed when she said this, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking, but the more she said this, the more worried Princess An became.

However, Princess An forgot that it was not appropriate to attend other people's wedding banquets to observe filial piety: "Then you can take Zhuan'er around alone, don't stay bored in the house all the time."

Today, their whole family had to go to the Zhao Mansion, leaving Shangguan Wanru alone in the mansion. Prince An and Princess An were quite worried.

"Don't worry, concubine! I know." Shangguan Wanru said with a smile to reassure Princess An.

As the aunt-in-law, Princess An must go to the Zhao Mansion with Prince An, otherwise the Queen Mother will find fault if she knows they didn't go.

After Princess An and Prince An went out together, Shangguan Wanru was drawing pictures in the house. However, the street was too lively, with the sound of firecrackers and pipe music coming from time to time. Zhuan'er, who was used to being quiet, would always be frightened to tears.

Shangguan Wanru decided to take him for a walk in the garden.

"Nanny, give me Zhuan'er! I'll take him to the garden for a walk." Shangguan Wanru put down the pen in her hand and took the child from the wet nurse.

"Zhuan'er, mother will take you for a stroll in the garden. We are not afraid." Shangguan Wanru coaxed softly to her son in her arms while walking out of the yard.

The maid and wet nurse both followed her.

Shangguan Wanru takes Zhuan'er to the garden every day. Children naturally love to play and don't like to stay quietly in the house.

After Shangguan Wanru took him out of the house, he stopped crying even if he heard the sound of firecrackers.

When the wet nurse saw that Zhuan'er stopped crying when she heard the sound of firecrackers, she said, "It turns out that the young master wanted to play in the garden and was not frightened by the sound of firecrackers."

This wet nurse was hired by Princess An for Zhuan'er. She took good care of Zhuan'er and was experienced in raising children. Shangguan Wanru liked her very much.

"He goes out for a walk every day these days. He is probably used to it." Shangguan Wanru held Zhuan'er and walked around casually. In April, many flowers were in bloom in the garden, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly a familiar flute sound sounded, Shangguan Wanru's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously searched for the origin of the flute sound.

The wet nurse and the maid also heard the sound of the flute and wondered: "What kind of music is this? It's so nice! Why is there someone playing the flute around here? I've never heard it before!"

Shangguan Wanru's eyes flashed after hearing this. She turned to the nanny behind her and said, "Nanny, it's windy in the garden. Go back to the house and get a quilt!"

The nanny was stunned after hearing this, is it windy? Not a single leaf moved! And the weather in April is the most comfortable, neither hot nor cold.

But she just had to do what her master told her! The husband said that whatever the master said, he could not question it.

So the wet nurse got a blessing: "It's the princess!"

After the wet nurse left, only Shangguan Wanru and the two personal maids assigned to Shangguan Wanru by Princess An were left in the garden.

Shangguan Wanru carried Zhuan'er to a pavilion and sat down. She said to the maid behind her: "Huang Ying, go to the kitchen and bring some fruit snacks. Oriole, go to the house and get the painting I just painted." Come, it’s very comfortable to sit in this pavilion in this weather, so I won’t go back inside.”

The two maids bowed in response and retreated.

After Shangguan Wanru dismissed the people around her, the flute sound stopped.

Soon a man wearing the uniform of a palace guard appeared in front of Shangguan Wanru. He knelt down on one knee and said, "I'm here to see the Crown Princess! I'm late, and I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."

Originally in Nangong Kingdom, he tried every means to get in touch with Shangguan Wanru. However, in the short period between the prince's accident and the prince's burial, the palace was quickly put under surveillance, and many informants were planted to put the palace under surveillance. The surveillance was airtight, as if a dragnet had been laid, waiting for him to fall into the trap, so that he could not get close and could only worry secretly.

Fortunately, King Rui and Princess Rui of Min Zeguo were so good at disguises that they could disguise themselves as real and rescued the Crown Princess and the young master!

"Zhuang Yan? Why did you come here?" Shangguan Wanru was a little surprised.

Zhuang Yan is a subordinate of Gong Zixuan. He is very loyal and capable. He helps Gong Zixuan manage all the secret forces, such as secret guards, private soldiers, weapon manufacturing, and many secret industries.

After Zhuan'er was born, Gong Zixuan secretly took himself and Zhuan'er to see him once, so Shangguan Wanru had an impression.

But after Gong Zixuan passed away, this person seemed to have disappeared from the world, and never contacted him once. Shangguan Wanru thought that his loyalty was fake, and he had already brought Gong Zixuan's secret power to Gong Zixuan. Qinghua surrendered!

I didn’t expect that he would follow me to Min Zeguo!

Does this mean that she can avenge her husband? Thinking of this, Shangguan Wanru's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope!

Zhuang Yan didn't have time to explain too much to Shangguan Wanru. He took out a booklet from his arms and presented it to Shangguan Wanru: "Princess, please take note of the contents in the booklet. If you have any news from your subordinates in the future, If you tell the Crown Princess, you can use the sound of the flute to convey the message. If the Crown Princess wants to instruct her subordinates to do something, she can also use the sound of the flute to tell her subordinates!"

Shangguan Wanru took it and opened it and took a look. Each note on it represented the meaning of one or two words or phrases.

Shangguan Wanru heard Gong Zixuan say it, and she understood what it was as soon as she saw it.

She closed the book and held it tightly with one hand, her knuckles turned white.

"Princess, Prince Rui and Princess Rui of Min Zeguo are extremely talented and can help us a lot at critical moments. Princess Rui might as well walk around with Princess Rui more often when she has free time." Zhuang Qian wanted to say something else, but his ears twitched. , someone came over!

"Princess, someone is here, and my subordinates have resigned. Princess, remember, destroy the booklet after you remember it! Don't let it fall into the hands of others!" Zhuang Ke hurriedly said this and disappeared. .
