Chapter 368 Ugly Girl Saves the Hero
The capital city is never short of gossip.
There's something new every day.
The army that went to war returned, and they even brazenly brought a woman with them.
This gives people endless room for imagination.
The people started discussing it.
Compared to the events of suppressing the rebellion, how did King Su die, and how did King Chen defeat King Su?
People seem to care more about gossip.
"Didn't Prince Chen marry his queen a year before he went to war? He already has a new wife?"
"What do you know? I heard it's a story of a beauty saving a hero. This woman saved His Highness Prince Chen, and the prince repaid her with his body and married her as his concubine."
"What beauty saves the hero? I heard that this woman is ugly and wears a mask all day long, refusing to show her true face."
"It's most likely that the woman took advantage of his kindness and forced herself on Prince Chen."
"Nonsense. It was our Prince Chen who was grateful and wanted to give his savior a place to stay and ensure her wealth and safety, so he brought her into the palace as a concubine."
"His Highness Prince Chen is truly benevolent..."
Jiang Miaomiao felt something was off after hearing these words.
Every sentence praises Prince Chen and belittles his savior; how can that be considered repaying kindness?
It sounds like the ugly woman who saved Prince Chen has become his tool.
This is probably a way to create a persona for her.
Jiang Miaomiao's first reaction was that the woman had been used.
Princess Rong'an's focus, however, was not on that; instead, she was worried about herself. "Miaomiao, is your brother going to bring back a savior too?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Uh! That's hard to say.
After all, the eldest brother is the kind of person who can be fooled by a string of candied hawthorns.
Good people are good, but they are also prone to being overly compassionate.
It’s hard to say!
Miaomiao didn't dare to make a guarantee.
However, Miaomiao was on the princess's side, and she said with great certainty, "No, my godfather is watching over us, so don't worry."
That's just how people are; once they get involved in a relationship, they easily become anxious and insecure.
Princess Rong'an is currently in this state.
"What if Brother Feng also encounters a savior who insists on repaying the favor? There are so many such scenes in comic books, like a general returning after many years with a true love, only to find his wife mediocre and demanding a divorce or a separation."
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Sister Yuan, you've been reading too many illustration books, haven't you?
The picture book is toxic.
You can't have that thought. If the old illness relapses, it's easy to develop hysteria.
However, the eldest brother is indeed a bit unreliable. He is good-looking, seems honest and kind, is an unmarried young general, and has some money to spare.
White lotus flowers are the most popular among green tea lovers.
People are stupid and have too much money.
Miaomiao felt that her older brother was missing a lesson: tea appreciation.
He needs to find a courtesan to show him the dangers of the world and teach him how to appreciate tea.
As for the second brother, with that alluring face, it's a good thing if you don't fall for his tricks.
There's absolutely no need to worry about that.
Miao Miao comforted her, "Sister Yuan, you are a princess. Who would dare to divorce you? Only you have the right to divorce your husband. If that day ever comes, then divorce him, kick him out of the house, leave him with nothing, and let him and his true love sleep on the streets."
Jiang Miaomiao silently recited in her heart.
Sorry, bro, if you were to get entangled with a scheming woman or a manipulative woman, you'd probably have to leave with nothing.
Mother would definitely do the same.
Because this is the most effective way to distinguish truth from falsehood.
Generally, green tea and white lotus tea won't last more than a few months before their true colors are revealed.
"What Miaomiao said makes a lot of sense." Princess Rong'an was very pleased and felt much more at ease.
Jiang Zifeng, far away on the border, was not feeling well; her ears were hot and she kept sneezing.
I have a feeling that it must be my sister who misses him.
But his sister hit the nail on the head.
He actually encountered something like that when he left Yucheng.
It turned out that the group of dancers were employed by the Prince Su's mansion. They were skilled in martial arts and had been bewitched by the Princess Su, intending to get the soldiers drunk and assassinate their commander.
He was just too incompetent; before he could even make a move, someone else beat him to it, and he was caught.
Mu Yunji was originally going to punish them, but Jiang Zifeng casually pleaded for them.
As it turned out, he actually caught the eye of several dancers.
The young hero is pure-hearted, honest, and, most importantly, doesn't philander.
Who wouldn't want such a handsome young man?
The beauty looked at him and said, "General, let me stay by your side and serve you like a servant."
Jiang Zifeng: "There can't be women in the military camp."
The beauty was speechless. "Then...then I'll wait here for your triumphant return, and then we'll go home together."
Jiang Zifeng didn't even glance at the beauty, and said impatiently, "I have servants at home, and besides, someone like you wouldn't catch Aunt Xiuxiu's eye. You're too skinny to catch up with my sister, and you can't even carry her."
After finishing his sentence, the young man glanced at the beauty with some disdain and walked away without looking back.
The beauty was left alone, disheveled in the wind.
Skin and bones!
Some people actually ignored her slender waist and long legs, and even said she was skin and bones!
The beauty wept herself to death.
Cui Liulang was laughing so hard he almost choked.
It's no wonder he thought so highly of his cousin-in-law.
Prince Chen's Villa.
Jiang Zijin also felt her ears burning as she heard the people's chatter.
But she enjoyed it.
She is very clear about her own worth.
For a woman who was granted the privilege of becoming a nun by the emperor, beauty alone was far from enough to rely on without the support of her maternal family.
There are countless vases, but she wants to be the indispensable one.
Prince Chen stroked the woman's golden carved mask. "Jinmei, I've wronged you. To please me, you've taken on the reputation of being an ugly woman and the bad name of seeking repayment for a favor. But now that you're my concubine, why don't you go back to Prince Chen's mansion? Why do you insist on staying in this small house?"
"Your Highness, you don't need to blame yourself. I willingly bear those infamy. As long as it's good for Your Highness, I'm willing to do anything." After saying this, Jiang Zijin took off the mask from her face.
Actually, she has a different kind of beauty even when she's wearing a mask.
It evokes the feeling of someone holding a pipa, half-concealing their face.
Even with it off, she looked beautiful, captivating Prince Chen's gaze.
Jiang Zijin used to be in charge of the harem, and almost all the palace's anti-aging techniques were used for her purposes.
Therefore, she knew exactly how to make Prince Chen infatuated with her.
She possessed a blend of innocence, allure, and shyness, along with intelligence and generosity, making Prince Chen unable to resist her.
For Jiang Zijin, infamy was of no concern.
As long as she can conceal her identity and keep Prince Chen under her thumb, that will suffice.
But Prince Chen always felt indebted to her. "Jin'er, what do you want? Just tell me, and I will definitely satisfy you."
"Your Highness, may I ask for some guards who will only obey your orders? You know, my identity cannot be revealed, otherwise it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. I'm afraid it might be the Princess Consort or the Fang family..."
She couldn't see any of those people.
Those rumors from the capital.
The moment she became Prince Chen's concubine, he stopped paying attention to her.
He assumed that the Zhou family's son had taken a liking to his beloved concubine and was deliberately harassing her.
Jin'er is so wonderful, it's no wonder that people are vying for her admiration.
