Chapter 1191 Failed to Hide It

Seeing Shang Shuqing absent-mindedly playing with her children, Shang Chaozong pretended to be surprised, "Qing'er is here too?"

"Brother!" Shang Shuqing stood up and gave a simple family greeting.

Shang Chaozong: "I just saw Mr. Fu coming. He is waiting for you in the front hall. Go quickly."

"Ah..." Shang Shuqing became a little anxious, not because of the relationship between men and women, but because of her tutor and her character. She thought it was rude to keep others waiting. Then he turned to Feng Ruonan and said, "Sister-in-law, they are here, I will go over first."

Feng Ruonan smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead, eh, wait, wait." He shouted again.

Shang Shuqing stopped and asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law, do you have any other instructions?"

Feng Ruonan looked her up and down and asked, "Are you going to dress like this to see Mr. Fu?"

Shang Shuqing was shocked when she heard this, and was a little afraid of this sister-in-law. Every time she met Fu Junlan, as long as she was bumped into by this sister-in-law, she would have to change her clothes. She would not be able to do otherwise. The most important thing was that she changed the clothes. Clothes that I feel embarrassed about.

Her sister-in-law always asked her to change into clothes that were slimmer and better suited to her figure.

She understood what her sister-in-law meant, and hoped that she would make use of her strengths and avoid her weaknesses, and that she would try her best to show off her good figure to others.

But she always felt that it was inappropriate, as she was afraid of giving the impression that she was hiding her ugliness. She also felt that dressing like that was a bit slutty and indecent, and felt that it was inappropriate for an unmarried woman to wear that way. Her appearance was already ugly, and she didn't want others to look down upon her as a person.

"It's okay, this is good." Shang Shuqing said perfunctorily, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Feng Ruonan threw the child directly to Shang Chaozong without saying a word. He didn't just throw it in words, but actually threw it with both hands.

Fortunately, Shang Chaozong was used to this wife who was a female general, and knew that some things in her bones were hard to change, so she took the baby with both hands in a tacit understanding, holding the child in circles and playing with it.

Feng Ruonan walked up quickly and grabbed Shang Shuqing's arm, "Let's go change clothes."

Shang Shuqing was very embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, it's really no need. Mr. Fu is still waiting."

"Let him wait. What's wrong?" Feng Ruonan said angrily and dragged Shang Shuqing away.

Shang Shuqing's strength could not match the strength of this female general. She was a heroic woman who could overturn a galloping horse with one shot and knock down her husband with her fists and kicks.

Shang Chaozong didn't understand the matter of dressing up at his daughter's house, and he didn't get involved, pretending he didn't see it.

There were no servants taking care of the child around, so he had no choice but to continue taking care of him for the time being.

After waiting for a while, Feng Ruonan came back. Shang Chaozong took his son and asked, "Did Qing'er go to see Mr. Fu?"

"Well, it's over." Feng Ruonan took his son back and asked, "Have you given any instructions from the cottage?"

Shang Chaozong sighed: "I can't help it. I told the matchmaker, and she agreed. She will tell the people below that once they meet Qing'er, they will not reveal the news of Master Dao's death..." After saying this, he fell silent. silent.

After all, after being together for a long time, Feng Ruonan noticed something was wrong and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay!" Shang Chaozong waved his hand, indicating that he would leave beforehand.

In fact, I was thinking about Master Dao's fake death and the instructions there. Although I don't know how big the matter involved in this fake death was, there must be a reason behind the deliberate instructions, so I had to hide it from Feng Ruonan.

And when Feng Ruonan said hello, all the servants who had been hiding came out one after another. How could there be no one in such a big palace to take care of the young prince...

In the hall, Lan Ruoting was still chatting with Fu Junlan. Chatting between two people with such different visions was actually awkward for Lan Ruoting.

As soon as Shang Shuqing's slim figure appeared, Lan Ruoting felt relieved and immediately stood up, laughing and saying: "Master Fu, the princess is here."

"Mr. Lan!" Shang Shuqing saluted Lan Ruoting first, and Lan Ruoting returned the gesture.

Fu Junlan saluted her again, "Princess."

Shang Shuqing treated him dignifiedly and politely, "Master Fu."

Going around and around is a bit complicated, so etiquette cannot be discarded.

Lan Ruoting stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Princess, Mr. Fu, Lan still has something to do, please leave first and you can chat." He cupped his hands and left quickly.

Shang Shuqing said in a soft voice: "Young Master Fu has been kept waiting for a long time. Would you like to sit down for a while or go for a walk?"

Fu Junlan really didn't want to sit here anymore, so she hurriedly said: "I've been sitting here for a while, so let's go out for a walk."

"Please!" Shang Shuqing extended her arms to invite him, neither humble nor overbearing.

After leaving here, the two went straight to the back garden. It was the same situation as before. There was a war between the seven countries. For safety reasons, Shang Shuqing was unable to leave the palace. Fu Junlan came to visit in person every time. The two always make appointments for the next meeting after meeting once.

On the way to the back garden, Shang Shuqing said: "Young master just said that you have been sitting for a while. Did you arrive very early?"

Fu Junlan's answer was clear: "It wasn't very early. I arrived on time. I happened to meet the prince and the others and entered the palace together."

Arrived on time? Shang Shuqing calculated it silently and said, "It's been a long time. I'm really sorry. Qing'er was delayed by something. I really shouldn't have kept the young master waiting for so long."

Fu Junlan: "It doesn't matter. It's a great opportunity to have a long conversation with Mr. Lan. It's a rare opportunity."

Shang Shuqing was a little surprised, "Is Mr. Lan always chatting with you?"

Fu Junlan: "Yes...no. I chatted with the prince for a while, and then Mr. Meng Lan looked at it and actually chatted for a while."

Shang Shuqing glanced at him in surprise and tried to ask, "What are you talking about?"

Fu Junlan: "It's just that some parents are short-sighted." I'm too embarrassed to talk about marriage.

Of course, he was right. The topic of marriage was very short-lived, and Lan Ruoting didn't know what to talk to him about. Most of the time, he spent time talking about family affairs.

"The family is short-sighted?" Shang Shuqing was a little surprised in her heart. She is a very smart woman, and her vision and knowledge are beyond the reach of ordinary women. She naturally knows who Lan Ruoting is. Time is precious for this kind of person. It seems a bit unusual to be able to chat with Fu Junlan's parents for such a long time.

She didn't mean to belittle Fu Junlan. The gap in background was obvious and difficult to make up in a short time. She understood that it needed to be done slowly.

Even when she, Shang Shuqing, met and chatted with Fu Junlan, she could feel the shallowness this gap brought to Fu Junlan. This naturally led to Fu Junlan's words being somewhat inappropriate. For example, when he couldn't help but criticize the world in his scholarly spirit, the Fu family had suffered some hardships before and had its own feelings about the current situation.

What he said is actually very superficial and mixed with personal emotions. To put it bluntly, he is ignorant.

However, Shang Shuqing was a good listener. At most, she would only smile and would not make Fu Junlan feel uncomfortable.

But what surprised her was that a busy person like Lan Ruoting could spend time on such nonsense?

I just asked more questions out of curiosity. Although I still had doubts, I didn't pursue the question for fear of appearing aggressive and giving people the uncomfortable feeling of being interrogated.

Shang Shuqing knew what she should talk to someone of Fu Junlan's level, so the topic changed and returned to daily life in the city, such as which newly opened shop was good, whose fruit was more delicious, and so on.

In this regard, Fu Junlan's comments are clear and logical.

When it comes to which restaurant has delicious food and wine, Fu Junlan seems to have found a good one, and she really praised it.

"It must be a delicious dish that can be praised so much by Mr. Fu. If you have a chance, go and try it." Shang Shuqing's tone was gentle and smooth. In fact, as soon as the shop opened, someone in the palace bought it for them to try. This is the real deal in the city. How could there be something delicious that the palace has not seen before?

My mind was a little wandering. When it came to the delicacies at that restaurant, how could it possibly compare to the craftsmanship of the monks at Maolu Villa? The delicacies at Maolu Villa were truly unparalleled in the world. The morning bells and evening drums, the delicacies served by devout monks, and the artistic conception are far beyond those in the streets and alleys.

How could she be willing to talk about such things like wine and meat on the streets? She is not that vulgar. She would rather talk about women's clothing and the like, which is more in line with women's preferences for chatting. However, Fu Junlan doesn't understand these things about women. She must talk about this. Not going down.

But now that this was the case, and since Fu Junlan was already the one recognized by her family, she acquiesced. Knowing that she would spend the rest of her life with him, she had no choice but to go along with it and try to make Fu Junlan feel comfortable.

"All the people from the Thatched Cottage came and settled in this city..."

The palace was very large, and when the two finally reached the door of the back garden, they could hear the faint sound of someone talking.

Shang Shuqing was startled when she heard this. She suddenly bowed to Fu Junlan and apologized, then quickened her pace.

In the green corridor at the entrance of the garden, two monks were sitting opposite each other drinking tea. They stopped talking when they heard footsteps approaching. When they looked back, they saw Shang Shuqing coming. They stood up and said politely, "Princess Princess!"

After seeing the ceremony, Shang Shuqing asked, "I just heard from the two masters that the people from the Thatched Cottage are here. Have they come to the city?"

The two looked at each other. They had been told above that they could not discuss the news of Niu Youdao's death in this house. Talking about the affairs of Maolu Villa should not be an exception. However, Maolu Villa was involved with Niu Youdao, and Shang Shuqing did not know that Shang Shuqing heard it. Does it fit or not?

"The princess heard wrong." One of the monks said politely without saying much. He turned around and gave the other person a wink, and the two of them picked up the teapot and left.

Shang Shuqing was stunned when Fu Junlan walked in and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"

Shang Shuqing turned around and asked, "Did Mr. Fu hear what they said just now?"

Fu Junlan thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be thatched cottage. It means he lived in the city. No, it seems to be thatched cottage. I have only heard of thatched cottage. I don't know if I heard it wrong."

Even he heard the word 'Thatched Cottage', and Shang Shuqing was sure that she heard it correctly. But what made her wonder was, was there anything unusual about talking about Thatched Cottage? It seems like he is avoiding himself, as if he doesn't want to say much to himself.

Again, she was a smart woman, and she immediately thought of the previous situation. Her sister-in-law's previous behavior made her feel a little strange. Is there actually a lack of servants to take care of children in the palace? And Mr. Lan, that busy man actually had time to chat with Fu Junlan for a long time about his family affairs.

Another thing is, the people from the Thatched Cottage are here. Based on my friendship with the Thatched Cottage, why don't you tell me?

The more she thought about it, the more abnormal she became, and she immediately bowed politely to Fu Junlan, "Master Fu, please wait a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Fu Junlan agreed and watched Shang Shuqing, who looked apologetic, hurried away.

Shang Shuqing walked quickly and went straight to Feng Ruonan. When she arrived, the child was still playing outside and Feng Ruonan was in the house.

After asking the servant where the princess was, Shang Shuqing rushed into the house. When she saw Feng Ruonan who raised his head in shock, she asked directly: "Sister-in-law, are the people from the thatched cottage here?"

Feng Ruonan put down the embroidery in his hand. The bird embroidered on the plain cloth looked like a chicken. He asked in surprise: "Where did you hear about it?"

"I just heard the discussion between the two mages in the mansion." Shang Shuqing insisted without saying that she had not received confirmation.

Feng Ruonan rolled his eyes and immediately said with a smile: "The people from the Thatched Cottage have come to Fucheng. Is there any problem?"

Shang Shuqing was unhappy, "Then why did you hide it from me?"

People who can mobilize troops and generals are not far behind. Feng Ruonan seemed surprised and turned around and said, "Who hid it from you? Didn't you have an appointment with Mr. Fu? Once I told you, I wasn't afraid of delaying you two." As for the appointment, is there anything more important than the two of you in the palace’s affairs now?”

PS: Aunt Huang is here! Today I broke my update record. In fact, I really don’t know if the plot needs to be read later. The word length is also very affordable. It is full of sincerity. Don’t misunderstand me. Xie's new leader "Huang Lianshang Qingyuan" came to support the event.
