Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 290 Empathy
The two sat down at the main seats in the lobby. As soon as they sat down, a maid brought tea and put it in front of Zhao Min.

"These are all new teas brought over from Jiangnan in the spring of this year. Concubine Ling, try them to see if they suit your taste?"

For some reason, even though it was the first time she saw Jiang Yanran, Zhao Min always felt that she was very kind, with an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"Thank you Mrs. Xiao." Zhao Min also gave her face. As soon as the tea was placed on his table, Zhao Min picked it up and took a sip, "It's really good tea, much better than that old tea. Drink it Also feel refreshed."

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Yanran directly got to the point: "I don't know why Princess Ling is here today?"

Zhao Min chuckled, and winked at Wang Zimo who was next to her. Wang Zimo understood, stood up, took the wooden box on the table just now, walked up to Jiang Yanran, and blessed her body slightly.

"Mrs. Xiao, this is the incense that my daughter has just made recently. I heard that my wife occasionally suffers from headaches. After all, I added mint to it. Madam Xiao please accept it."

Jiang Yanran stood up and looked at the six boxes of incense in the box that Wang Zimo opened, with a look of joy on her face, but everyone is a straightforward person, and they can't do that kind of hypocrisy.

"Thank you, Ms. Wang, this gift is so precious, and I have troubled Ms. Wang to arrange it for me."

Apparently Zhang Yanran was very happy with this gift, and immediately took it for herself before putting it into the hands of the maid next to her.

Xiao Mo, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help showing a bit of greed when she saw the incense in the box.

In this imperial city, no one knows that Wang Zimo's incense is hard to find on weekdays, and only the dignitaries in the city are eligible to use it, and I have never had any contact with her, even though it was given to my mother , but Xiao Mo is also very happy, and then she will ask her mother for a few boxes.

Although it is said that there is nothing to be courteous about, Jiang Yanran also knows that Wang Zimo must have seen Zhao Min's face when she gave her things, and it must be because Zhao Min wanted something from her.

But there is never something free in this world, of course Jiang Yanran didn't feel angry, it's just human nature.

I had already talked to her a lot just now, but she still didn't say what she was here for today. Jiang Yanran naturally understood that there was someone in the hall, and it was inconvenient for her to say so, so she immediately said to Xiao Mo.

"Mo'er, the jade pendant that mother wore around her waist today seems to be missing, go to the house and help mother find it."

Xiao Mo is not a fool, of course!It could be heard that she was taking the opportunity to drive herself away, and she immediately felt a little unhappy: "Mother, I'll help you find it later."

Jiang Yanran glared at her immediately: "Go now."

Although Xiao Mo had too much reluctance in her heart, she did not dare to disobey Jiang Yanran after all, so she immediately stood up and blessed her body: "Yes."

After Xiao Mo went out, Jiang Yanran retreated the servants in the room again, and then looked at Zhao Min: "Princess Ling, if you have anything to say, just talk about it. Now that the eyes are clean, it's a good time to talk."

Zhao Min knew it in her heart, and immediately smiled lightly: "Mrs. Xiao still understands my thoughts. To be honest, she hastily visited today. There is indeed something that Mrs. Xiao needs to help with."

"Oh?" Jiang Yanran's expression straightened, as if she was listening attentively, "It's okay for Princess Ling to say it."

"That's right, my husband entrusted Mr. Xiao with some words to bring to me before leaving the imperial city." Zhao Min lowered his head and chuckled, "I am ashamed to say that I met Mr. Xiao at the Prince's Mansion last time. It’s been a while, but there were too many people at that time, so they didn’t say a few words.”

"Mrs. Xiao also knows my identity, and it is inconvenient to come directly to find Mr. Xiao, so I sent you a message. I also ask you to be convenient and cover me for me."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min stood up and blessed Jiang Yanran: "I know, this request to you is a bit reluctant, but Madam Xiao please understand the feelings of a woman who is worried about her husband. No one understands my mood better than Mrs. Xiao, my husband is fighting outside, even if there is any news, I still want to know."

In fact, Jiang Yanran was a little surprised when she heard what Zhao Min said at the beginning. She is not engaged yet. If this matter gets out, it will indeed not be good for the two of them.

But after hearing what Zhao Min said later, the little bit of reluctance in Jiang Yanran's heart was also relieved.

That's right, no one understands Zhao Min's feelings better than himself. Xiao Yanfeng has been leading troops and fighting outside all year round, so how worried is he at home?
"What Princess Ling said is not a big deal."

One day after Jiang Yanran uttered these words, Zhao Min was overjoyed, knowing that the matter had been completed.

Sure enough, just after this thought flashed through Zhao Min's mind, Jiang Yanran stood up: "Princess Ling wait here, I'll go and call Yi Chen over in person."

Zhao Min burst into tears of gratitude: "I really thank Mrs. Xiao.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Xiao leaving, Zhao Min and Wang Zimo looked at each other.

"It's really thanks to you this time. If it wasn't for the gift you gave Mrs. Xiao's eyes, I'm afraid today's affairs would not be so smooth."

Wang Zimo lowered his head and chuckled lightly: "What are you talking about? It's not because you spoke eloquently just now, understood it with emotion and moved it with reason, so you moved Mrs. Xiao. I dare not take credit for it."

"Master, Madam is coming this way."

Xiao Yichen, who was practicing calligraphy at the desk, immediately put down the pen in his hand after hearing the servant's report. As soon as he left the study, he saw Jiang Yanran coming in.

"Mom, why did you come here in person?"

Jiang Yanran put her arm on her hand, walked to the side and sat down, and explained her purpose of coming: "Prince Ling personally came to visit today, please ask me something!"

"Oh?" Xiao Yichen suppressed the surprise in his heart, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"She said that King Ling asked you to bring some words to her before he left, so she came to visit today. In the name of visiting me, she wanted to see you and understand the reason."

Xiao Yichen nodded: "It's true, I saw it in the Prince's Mansion last time, but I didn't have time to talk about it."

"Then, follow me to the lobby. Concubine Ling and Miss Wang are waiting in the lobby. Don't let them wait too long."

"Miss Wang?" Xiao Yichen thought of that smiling woman, and his heart beat twice fast.

Jiang Yanran thought that he didn't know who it was, so she explained: "Yes, it's Wang Zimo. You just came back to Beijing, so you may not know him very well. Their family is from a family of perfumers, and her generation is even more outstanding."

Xiao Yichen nodded slightly, making it impossible to see his real thoughts: "Hurry over there."
