Chapter 468 Huai Zhao is out of his league
Princess Rong's face was ashen and stiff.
She lost face in front of so many people.
After hearing this, Prince Rong felt relieved and called Qin Xian back.
"That's no problem!"
"Don't I know your cooking skills? Why are you cooking for no reason? When have I seen you cook a meal in all these years?"
"Sixteenth brother is here this time too. Even if you dare to make it, I won't let him eat it."
Prince Rong spoke in a relaxed tone, with a bit of the doting tone of an old couple bickering.
But after Princess Rong was exposed in this way, she felt that she had lost face in front of Ling Jinlan.
His expression was grim, and he put down his chopsticks heavily, "If you think my cooking is not tasty, I'll ask Du Wanyun to cook for you tomorrow!"
After saying that, she stood up and left angrily.
Prince Rong called out to her twice, but failed to stop her. He felt helpless and asked, "Why are you so angry again?"
"Isn't it known to everyone that you're not a good cook?"
He didn't know why his expression changed after just a few words.
Du Wanyun consoled her, "With so many people watching, Your Highness should give me some face."
"You guys eat first, I'll go see my sister."
Prince Rong nodded and asked everyone to continue eating.
Jiang Ningwan could see that Princess Rong had many complaints about Du Wanyun. Wouldn't it make Princess Rong even angrier if Du Wanyun tried to persuade her at this time?
But Prince Rong had already nodded, so how could she, a guest, say anything?
Everyone pretended nothing had happened and ate their meal as if nothing had happened.
But after a while, a maid came hurriedly.
"My Lord, something bad has happened. Aunt Du has been beaten."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong's face changed, "What?"
Before everyone stood up, they saw Qin Xian rushing out in one step.
Then everyone rushed over.
In the yard, I saw Du Wanyun covering her face and sobbing, and Qin Xian protecting her.
Princess Rong was fierce and aggressive, "This slap is considered light. Don't think that no one knows about your ugly deeds, you shameless slut!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong's face suddenly turned pale.
He rushed forward and slapped Princess Rong hard.
"shut up!"
"What did Yun'er do to make you speak so harshly?"
This slap almost caused Princess Rong to fall to the ground, but Shao Pei reacted quickly and supported Princess Rong.
Princess Rong's cheeks quickly became red and swollen, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She looked up in shock and looked at Prince Rong.
She looked at the other people who were coming from behind and felt that she had lost all face as Princess Rong.
"Your Highness, you hit me for her? If you think I'm unfit to be your princess, then you can let that little bitch Du Wanyun be your princess!"
After saying that, she turned and left crying.
Qin Huaizhao hurried over and wanted to comfort her, but was scolded and sent away by Princess Rong.
Prince Rong was even more furious when he saw it.
After showing some concern for Du Wanyun, he turned to look at Jiang Ningwan and the others, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Jiang Ningwan shook her head, "We shouldn't have come here."
It's so embarrassing to run into someone's family affairs.
After saying that, she quickly pulled Qin Shuangchi away.
They didn't finish the dinner, but soon the maid brought the food to their room.
"Auntie Du said that she had embarrassed you two tonight. Thinking that you didn't eat much for dinner, she asked the maid to bring some over. Please enjoy your meal."
Jiang Ningwan smiled and said, "Thank Aunt Du for me."
"Princess Chu, you're too polite."
The maid quickly left the room.
Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi continued to eat dinner and talked about what happened tonight.
"Princess Rong must have lost her temper because she felt embarrassed because we were here."
Qin Shuangchi nodded, "I think so too."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan said, "How about we stay at the inn tomorrow?"
"It would be embarrassing for everyone if we saw them doing these family matters all day long."
Qin Shuangchi nodded in agreement, "Okay."
"I'll talk to Sixth Brother tomorrow."
The next day, Qin Shuangchi played chess and drank tea with Prince Rong, and stayed in his study for the whole morning.
In the afternoon, Qin Shuangchi took Jiang Ningwan out and booked a room at the inn.
"Prince Rong agreed? He didn't say anything, right?"
"He didn't say anything. He knew we were a little constrained living here, so he told us to go back anytime we wanted."
Jiang Ningwan nodded thoughtfully.
"Then let's start investigating Qianqiu drunk this afternoon."
"it is good."
It happened that Qin Xian came over in the afternoon and took them to a restaurant for a drink. He introduced many good wines to Jiang Ningwan. Jiang Ningwan tasted them all and did not notice that Qianqiu was drunk.
But because he drank too much, Jiang Ningwan passed out before the evening.
In Prince Rong's Mansion, Ling Jinlan also tried to help Princess Rong do some things to restore the mother-son relationship between Princess Rong and Qin Huaizhao.
After a few visits, he became familiar with the people in the mansion.
Also because Ling Jinlan generously gave her a gift, everyone in the mansion was particularly polite to her, responding to her every request and praising her behind her back.
After Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi left Prince Rong's Mansion, Princess Rong locked herself in her room for several days, refusing to go out and seeing anyone.
Even Prince Rong didn't come to dinner that day.
Sitting at the dinner table were Ling Jinlan, Qin Huaizhao, and Du Wanyun.
"Ah Xian drank a lot of wine with the King of Chu and the Queen of Chu today, and he was drunk as soon as he came back. Let's eat first and don't wait any longer."
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan asked, "What about Dad?"
Du Wanyun sighed helplessly, "The prince had a quarrel with the princess sister because of me before, and I have been feeling chest tightness. I opened the window to ventilate at night, and ended up catching a cold and coughing a little."
"I've had the food delivered to your room separately, so don't worry."
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan looked at Qin Huaizhao and said, "I'll prepare some cold medicine and send it over later."
"it is good."
Du Wanyun praised, "Jinlan also knows medicine. It's rare for a lady of your appearance and family background to also know medicine."
"I'm not proficient in it, I just know a little bit." Ling Jinlan said modestly.
After dinner, Ling Jinlan personally prepared the medicine, boiled it into a decoction, and sent it to the study with Qin Huaizhao.
Prince Rong was very pleased, and he was even happier when he learned that this was the medicine prepared by Ling Jinlan himself.
"I didn't know Jinlan before, but I didn't expect that he also knew medical skills. It really surprised me."
Qin Huaizhao sat aside and said, "There are many things that Dad doesn't know. Jinlan now has a position in the Dali Temple. The portraits she draws are very accurate. Several important criminals have been arrested using her portraits..."
Qin Huaizhao talked endlessly about Ling Jinlan's good points.
As Prince Rong listened, he gained a better understanding of Ling Jinlan. He was shocked and admired her very much.
He said that Huai Zhao's vision would not be bad, and that General Ling's descendants would not have bad character either.
When he looked at Ling Jinlan again, his eyes were full of admiration.
"At such a young age, it's really admirable."
"Now it seems that we, Huai Zhao, are marrying above our station."
I believed what Zhao Shuzhen said before and really thought Ling Jinlan was a burden, but I didn’t expect that she was not the case at all. Where can I find such a good girl?
Zhao Shuzhen actually described it as such a terrible thing!
Thinking of this, he became even angrier.
"Dad, you're too kind. Neither Azhao nor I are trying to get ahead of the other." Ling Jinlan said, looking at Qin Huaizhao with a firm gaze.
The two smiled at each other, love in their eyes.
"It's just that mother has many misunderstandings about Jinlan, and now she even refuses to see me. I really don't know what to do."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rong's face darkened and he snorted coldly.
"She's just looking for trouble! If you want to establish your authority in front of your wife, you have to be consistent in your moral conduct, treat others with kindness, and make people convinced!"
"Let her be. She'll get over it in a few days!"
