Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 471

Shi Anxia said something to her mother and aunt beside her, then walked towards Xie Ruolan.

She bowed as a junior and said, "Meet Madam Xie."

Although the age difference between them is not that big, General Xie's age and status are there.

Zhao Ruolan was born into a wealthy family and it is true that he had no shortage of food and clothing, but he was often discriminated against in the circle of nobles in the capital.

She had never liked attending these gatherings, but today she came reluctantly because she received an invitation from the Princess's Mansion that specifically mentioned her name and she couldn't refuse.

She planned to sit for a while and then leave, and didn't think about staying for long.

Zhao Ruolan has been living in the border area with her husband since she married Xie Wei for two years. This time she returned to Beijing to celebrate her great aunt's birthday, and she will set off to the border to meet her husband in three days.

Zhao Ruolan hurriedly stood up to greet Shi Anxia, ​​with a somewhat shy expression, "Miss Shi, how come you recognize me?"

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "Didn't Madam Xie recognize me too?"

Zhao Ruolan couldn't help but smile, "Now in the capital, you may not recognize our General Xie, but if you don't recognize Miss Shi who is famous in the capital, then you are blind."

Shi Anxia said sincerely, "Without General Xie defending the country at the border, how could there be the prosperity of the capital and the peace of the northern wing? How could we recite poems and appreciate flowers in this prosperous era?"

Originally, these words coming from a little girl might sound exaggerated and empty. But for some reason, although her tone was plain, every word was powerful and could strike deep into people's hearts.

Of course, if the listener was not Zhao Ruolan, but someone like Princess Chanyu who only knew how to enjoy herself, and was unaware of the cruelty of war and the hardships of the frontier, then it would be useless.

Maybe people will even roll their eyes at you, thinking that you are just talking big and talking nonsense.

But it’s different when the listener is Zhao Ruolan.

Her husband was a general, and she and her husband lived in the frontier for two whole years. She knew better than anyone how hard, cold, miserable, and heroic life there was.

As a result, Zhao Ruolan began to have a good impression of Shi Anxia.

The two of them sat down slowly.

The maidservant beside Zhao Ruolan felt as if she was facing a great enemy and immediately moved closer to her wife.

Shi Anxia smiled with her eyes bent, "Madam Xie, your maid is really protective of her master. She's afraid that I'll eat you."

Zhao Ruolan then turned his head and found the maid Xiangli close behind him. He couldn't help but smile, "Xiangli, don't be nervous. Miss Shi has no ill intentions."

Shi Anxia sneered in her heart. I have no ill intentions, but you are not a good girl. This girl is really ungrateful.

She didn't show it on her face, and said gently, "Madam Xie, to be honest, I have a batch of An porcelain that I want to sell to Wanzhou. I wonder if I can get in touch with your family?"

Zhao Ruolan was quite flattered when he heard this.

She had learned enough about how much the nobles in the capital looked down on businessmen.

The family she married earlier was not from the capital, but a prominent family in Wanzhou, and their ancestors had produced several high-ranking officials.

However, because their descendants were not ambitious and lost their titles, they could not survive in the capital, so they all moved back to their hometown in Wanzhou.

That family was ridiculous. Just because she had helped her grandfather with a small favor in his early years, they wanted to repay the favor and insisted on having her aunt marry into their family to bring good luck to the sickly man.

Her aunt was a stubborn person and ran away overnight. Now no one knows whether she is dead or alive.

My grandfather sighed and felt extremely miserable.

In the end, it was she, the eldest granddaughter, who took the initiative to marry for her aunt. At that time, she was only fourteen years old and had not yet reached the age of marriage.
