Chapter 312 Traffic Accident

Chu Lingxuan held Chen Afu in his arms and said, "Prince Rui will take Princess Rui to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow. Don't look at Prince Rui's playfulness, he is actually very smart. Aunt San said that Princess Rui is also a good person. You'd better make friends with Princess Rui in the future. Having more good friends in the capital will not make you lonely."

It must be more than just having more friends.

"Okay." Chen Afu said with a light red mouth.

Chu Lingxuan felt an extremely wonderful fragrance coming towards him, which made him a little dazed. The woman in his arms seemed to be a fairy flying out of the rosy clouds. Not only was she dazzlingly beautiful, but her intoxicating fragrance was even more captivating. Smelling it again, it seemed to be the smell of agarwood in the room. He didn't doubt it and smiled, "The fragrance is so strong! This green leaf agarwood seems to have another wonderful use."

...

The next day, Chen Afu didn't dress too outstandingly. This time, the old Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu San lost Rong Zhao's face in public, which made her hate herself even more. Jealousy can also make people lose their minds. It is better to have less trouble than more trouble, and she did not want to cause trouble for herself and the Chu family.

She wore a rose purple brocade long jacket of ordinary style and a lilac horse-faced skirt embroidered with bamboo leaves. She had a round bun and wore a butterfly red gold hairpin as big as a wine glass. She did her own makeup, flat eyebrows, pink cheeks, and red lips, all of which were bright colors.

She dressed in an old-fashioned way, although it still could not hide her beautiful face, it was not as prominent and beautiful as before.

Seeing her like this, Chu Lingxuan said with pity, "I'm sorry for wronging you. One day, I will let you appear in front of her openly without any cover-up."

Chen Afu smiled, "Well, I believe it."

Chu Lingxuan was more low-key, wearing a lake blue brocade arrow-sleeved robe, which was only 80% new.

Today, she will also give a pair of shoes "made by Chen Afu" to Prince Consort Chu and Princess Rong Zhao.

The shoes that Chen Afu gave to Lord Chu, Lord Chu San, and Lady Chu San were all made by her. The shoes of the second master Chu, the second wife Chu, the prince consort Chu and the princess Rongzhao were all made by the maids. In fact, she really wanted to make a pair of shoes to honor the Marquis Chu, because it was not easy for him. But she was afraid that someone would find out, so she asked the maids to do it.

After the two of them packed up, they went to Anrong Hall. This time, Chu Lingxuan only asked Chen Afu to bring a maid, Hong Fei, and sent two other maids in their thirties. These two maids were tall and strong, and they should have some skills. In fact, Hong Fei seemed to be more agile and taller than ordinary maids.

When they came to Anrong Hall, Li and Chu Zhen were also there. They said that Princess Rongzhao also invited them today.

Looking at Chu Zhen's dress, it didn't seem to be outstanding. Chu Zhen's appearance was also outstanding. Because Chu Hua was married, she was the only legitimate daughter in the Marquis's Mansion, and she had always wanted to find a high-class husband, so her usual dress was very gorgeous.

Chen Afu thought about it and guessed it. Princess Rong Zhao and her ex-husband Xue Fu Ma have a daughter, Xue Baoyi, who is thirteen years old this year and has been living with Princess Rong Zhao.

Chu Zhen must be afraid of Xue Baoyi, so she is so low-key. It seems that Rong Zhao's biological daughter is not a good person either.

Several people took sedan chairs to the outer courtyard, Chu Lingxuan rode a horse, and the women took a carriage. Mrs. Chu San and Chen Afu were in a carriage. She held Chen Afu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, there is Aunt San. Although she is a princess and I am a princess, I am not afraid of her."

Chen Afu smiled, "I believe Aunt San."

The carriage took half an hour and arrived at the princess's mansion. Everyone got off the car and changed to a sedan chair. A sedan chair is not like a car, only one person can have one.

Chen Afu looked at the sedan chair and the two women carrying it, and his heart was a little nervous. In front of everyone, Rong Zhao might not dare to be too presumptuous, and Lord Chu and Mrs. San would not allow her to be too presumptuous. But there will always be accidents on the road...

Mrs. Chu San also saw it, and said to the two strong women behind her, "You go and serve Ling Xuan's wife's sedan chair. Poor girl, she grew up in the countryside, and it's her first time to come to this rich place like the princess's mansion. I'm afraid she will be scared."

These women were brought back by her from the border. They are all strong and agile, and they are her personal bodyguards.

No one noticed that the two women carrying the sedan chair looked at each other, with a little panic.

Chen Afu's original two women, plus the two women sent by Mrs. Chu San, stood beside the four sedan poles, and Hong Fei stood by the window of the sedan.

Chen Afu's heart was relieved. She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside. There were jade trees and white flowers, lakes and mountains along the way, endless competition and beauty, and endless beautiful scenery. There are not many courtyards here, it doesn't look like a home, it looks like a garden.

The sedan had been moving for about a quarter of an hour when the maid in front fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch" and her hands loosened. The two maids walking beside the sedan caught the sedan pole at once, and the sedan did not fall diagonally. Chen Afu only leaned forward slightly. If the sedan had fallen, Chen Afu would have been thrown out of the sedan door. Not to mention being injured, he would have made a fool of himself.

Chen Afu gritted his teeth in anger. The hateful woman could even use such a despicable trick. No wonder she could do such a shameless thing.

Hong Fei hurriedly asked, "Is the grandma okay?"

Chen Afu said, "Nothing."

Madam Chu San in front and Chu Lingxuan in the back heard the noise and were relieved to know that nothing was wrong.

A maid took over the fallen maid and continued to carry the sedan. Not long after walking, the maid behind fell again and was caught by the other two maids. Chen Afu leaned back and was still fine.

There were two traffic accidents along the way, but fortunately we were safe.

Coming to Zhaoyang Hall, passing the large rosewood jade screen with rich flowers, we saw men and women in gorgeous clothes sitting in a room, and several people wearing robes embroidered with coiled dragons or phoenixes. Chen Afu did not dare to look closely, knowing that it was not only the couple of King Rui who came, but also other royal family members.

Sitting in the main seat were Princess Rongzhao and Prince Consort Chu. However, the princess's mansion was different from other families. The princess sat on the more honorable left side, and the prince consort sat on the right side.

After the greetings, Mrs. Chu San and Mrs. Chu Er sat down next to them, and Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu came in front of Lord Chu and Princess Rongzhao.

Rongzhao, wearing a palace makeup with gold and silver silk phoenix embroidery, was looking at them arrogantly.

The maid brought two cushions and placed them on the woven cashmere blanket from the Western Regions. Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu both knelt down.

Chu Lingxuan was so ashamed and angry. This was the second time he knelt to this woman. The first time was when he accompanied Ma to serve tea. He had to work hard to hold back his fingers from clenching together.

For the sake of the Ninth and Eleventh Princes, and for the last bloodline of the Yuan family, his father had endured for so many years, and he must learn to endure as well.

Chen Afu kowtowed to Princess Rong Zhao first, and said, "I, your daughter-in-law, greet you, mother-in-law. May you be blessed with good health." Then he raised the tea bowl above his head with both hands.
