After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor
Chapter 55: A Glimpse of the Old Man
The two of them quietly went to the inn next door, booked a room, and went up through the back door in a low profile.
Wan Ning took off the princess's red hairpin and filled a basin with water to wet a towel to wash off the rouge and powder on her face. But when her fingers touched the cold water, she suddenly froze in place, and her mind was lingering about the past and the people she had never met.
"But I've heard that Feiyu is still young. There must be a big age gap between us. And she's going to a foreign country as a marriage partner. Is she living well?" She couldn't explain why she was greedy and wanted to know everything about Feiyu.
"Age is not a big problem. Mandarin ducks make a pair in a quilt, and a pear tree overshadows a crabapple tree. Besides, Mengzhu's father dotes on her, and Dibi, who is obedient, does not allow others to discuss or make things difficult for her. Even though they have been childless for the past few years, it has not affected their relationship at all. Feiyu gave birth to a son at the beginning of this year, and the king of Tumo dotes on him even more." Mu Xiu spread his hands and said self-deprecatingly, "It's not that he is worried about letting the little prince come to Chu Kingdom as a hostage, so he named me Prince Mu Xiu to be the hostage with Mengzhu."
"Isn't she beautiful?"
"That's right. She is bright, beautiful, dignified and elegant. She is indeed a rare beauty."
Wan Ning listened to it in her heart, pretending to be indifferent and scooped up a handful of water to splash on her face, deliberately joking: "They are a harmonious couple, but you, Mr. Jiang, have become the victim. Boss Jiang, you are a complaining person, but think about the bright side. You have also come to Chu Country, and I will protect you here from now on!"
Mu Xiu sat at the table with his arms folded, and rolled his eyes at her indifferently, as if to say that she had just been beaten by the emperor not long ago, and today she could say such ambitious words. Unfortunately, Wan Ning did not notice his eyes, and was immersed in Feiyu's message.
This feeling was too subtle, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a while. She was the sweetheart of Ziheng, who was just beginning to fall in love in his teens. Especially after learning that she was a rare beauty with a dignified and generous temperament, she couldn't help but compare it with her free and easy personality. For a while, she seemed to be left far behind. No wonder the king of Tumo obeyed her in everything.
If Ziheng still missed her, it seemed natural to her. After all, how could he fall in love with someone like her after liking the charming Feiyu? But thinking of the fate of the women who were sent to marry in exchange for peace in history, and Feiyu being treated well and living such a good life as a link between the two countries when peace no longer existed, Wan Ning felt a little more fortunate.
"It's a good thing Mengzhu met you." Seeing that there was some silence in the room, Wan Ning took the initiative to find a topic: "You are getting more and more comfortable taking care of her now. Have you really never taken care of a child before?"
"That's called professionalism. I did work as a teacher in a school when I was in college, and I also participated in volunteer teaching activities."
"I didn't expect that when I met you for the first time, that dignified and serious Boss Jiang, you actually worked as a teacher before!" Wan Ning was very shocked. She couldn't imagine such a serious Jiang Zhifan standing on the stage and giving lectures to children.
"This is what they mean by don't judge a book by its cover, and don't judge the depth of the ocean by its depth." Mu Xiu retorted.
"Yes, yes, I know that the ocean is immeasurable. So, Prince Mu Xiu, have you sent someone to investigate the matter in Lu Village? Is there any progress?" Mu Xiu was stunned and coughed tactically. He didn't expect the topic to take such a big turn.
"Lucun, send someone..." Before Mu Xiu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Then Meng Zhu and Wan Tao came in with several sets of clothes in their arms and a few pieces of jewelry in their hands.
Meng Zhu was smiling happily, it was rare to see someone so relaxed. Seeing this, Mu Xiu quickly stepped forward to take the things, and widened his eyes in shock: "Aren't you going out for a while to buy a men's suit for Princess Le Yan and then come back? Why did you rob a store on the way?"
Meng Zhu scratched her head in embarrassment, walked to the table and gently touched her skirt, then took out the newly bought hairpin and looked at it carefully in the sunlight. Wan Ning saw her love for these things and took the initiative to smooth things over, saying, "You don't understand the affairs of beautiful girls, so you should just stay out of it. Don't bother us changing clothes here now. You could have taken this opportunity to find some containers to store things so that Prince Mu Xiu can carry the bag later."
As he said that, he pushed Mu Xiu out of the door and turned around to close it. At the moment when the door was completely closed, Mu Xiu leaned on the door and said to the inside: "I'll wait outside, you guys take your time to pack up. You will definitely be recognized as a girl if you pretend to be a boy, so you must dress more elegantly. It doesn't matter if you are recognized as a girl, as long as you are not recognized as Princess Le Yan."
"Don't worry, I wore so much makeup when I went on stage today that my own mother couldn't recognize me. I wore so much makeup that it could be smeared on the wall. I'll take it off later, and no one will be able to connect me to Princess Le Yan."
After that, he closed the door completely, leaving Mu Xiu waiting quietly at the door. After a long time, the door opened again, and Mu Xiu walked in. Meng Zhu, who was standing in the middle of the hall, had changed into the traditional costume of Chu country, with a cute bun, and a childish and stubborn face with an exotic style that did not look out of place. Compared with the past, she was more childish and playful, as if the princess who was "voluntarily" sent as a hostage in order to get the attention of her father no longer existed, and was replaced by an innocent little girl who was spoiled by her parents.
Wan Ning looked very proud and showed off and praised: "How about it, our Wan Tao's cooking skills are not bad, right?"
"Very good, this outfit is really suitable for Meng Zhu." Mu Xiu agreed and looked at Wan Ning. He was caught off guard by Wan Ning's outfit and asked in confusion, "What's your outfit? This doesn't look like Wan Tao's work. I told you to dress up like a handsome guy, not to paint your face black and put on a beard to play Zhang Fei."
Wan Ning looked around herself unconfidently, she thought that it was a rare opportunity to wear men's clothes, so while Wan Tao was busy she took the opportunity to make herself look rougher, the more manly and the more male hormones she had, the better.
So she stuffed several jackets into her clothes to make herself look stronger, and deliberately painted her face black and drew a beard. She felt good about herself and thought she should look like a strong and muscular man. Unexpectedly, not only did Wan Tao say no, but now Mu Xiu also disagreed.
"Is it really impossible?" Wan Ning asked unwillingly.
Mu Xiu lowered his head and held his forehead, unable to bear looking at it, and said, "No, hurry up and wash it. We are going to the market, the more low-key the better. We are not going to participate in cosplay, we must dress up as Zhang Fei."
Although Wan Tao didn't understand what they were saying, she was used to it after following Wan Ning for so long. It was just unexpected that the princess and Prince Mu Xiu were so on the same wavelength, both saying things that were confusing and incomprehensible.
"Okay, since what you said makes some sense, I'll go wash my face and you sit here and wait for a while."
As she spoke, Wan Ning reached into her clothes in frustration, trying to take out the stuff stuffed inside. This move shocked Wan Tao again. After all, there was a foreign prince in the room, and such an unruly move was so unorthodox in her perception.
So Wantao jumped between the two of them, covered her and helped to tidy up.
