The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 248 Concubine Jiang Visiting Relatives ([-])

Although male guests are not allowed to enter the inner house, Han Rui is only 14 years old and not yet an adult, and secondly, he and Concubine Jiang have the status of mother and child, so no one will say that he is rude if he wants to go to the backyard to see Concubine Jiang.

But Han Rui just didn't come in, and treated himself like an ordinary relative, waiting in the hall where the banquet was held outside.

Concubine Jiang couldn't wait for Han Rui to come in, so she naturally felt a burst of hatred, but she couldn't show it.I have to cover up for Han Rui that this child is shy and dare not come to see the female relatives, but he is actually an elder who grew up watching him... and so on.

Everyone laughed apologetically, but many clever female relatives had already seen that Concubine Jiang's expression was not quite right.

It seems that the discord between Concubine Jiang and the young prince is not groundless, you have to discuss this matter with the master at home when you go back, and don't get involved in the infighting in other people's palaces!
Flattering the concubine Jiang is one thing, and the Jiang family has indeed grown in power in Deling.But Xiaowang Han is the eldest son of King Xiang after all, and the Fang family is always more respectable and powerful than the Jiang family. In the land of Deling... they ordinary families have to carefully observe the situation.

Han Rui sat in the lobby of the outer courtyard, surrounded by a few Jiang family members who came to greet him.

Facing Han Rui, the Jiang family was actually very conflicted - being too warm and flattering to him was not enough, and my aunt would have objections.Too indifferent and too rude, let alone Han Rui's status, compared to the local gentry like Jiang's family who have a bit of money and land, but actually have the same social status as ordinary civilians, it's a world apart.

So the Jiang family liked Han Rui not getting close to the Jiang family every time he came to Deling.Coupled with the attack on Han Rui some time ago, the Jiang family itself was also suspected, and it was even more awkward for everyone to get along with each other.

So, at this moment, the Jiang family can only keep their faces stiff, and have very unnutritious conversations with Han Rui, such as the weather is really hot today, but luckily there is an ice basin...

Compared to the embarrassment of Jiang's family, Han Rui was free and easy, very generous.

Hearing that the servants came to say that the empress and the old lady had come out, Han Rui stood up gracefully.

Concubine Jiang came out of the back hall, raised her eyes inadvertently, and met Han Rui's sneering eyes.

what happened?

It's been a long time since we saw each other, this kid... Seems a little different?

Concubine Jiang couldn't believe that her memory was wrong.She has never missed every stage of his growth for this boy who has been considered by her mother since she was five years old, and almost every day someone comes to report his movements to her.

But in my impression... Although this child can't be said to be pleasing to the eye in front of her, he is just dumb and silent, and he is too mischievous in front of outsiders. Part dude doesn't make much difference.

However, Han Rui, who was standing in front of her at this moment, was completely different from before.Concubine Jiang couldn't tell where Han Rui had changed, maybe he was a little taller?It seemed that he stood upright, and there was a sharp look in his eyes and face that she couldn't understand...

Concubine Jiang's expression froze, and her footsteps involuntarily slowed down.But when she looked again, the boy who bowed down to greet her respectfully not far away seemed to have returned to his original appearance.

Could it be that I was too tired and my eyes were blurred just now?Concubine Jiang thought suspiciously.

"Mother and concubine have worked hard all the way. I feel deeply guilty for not being able to serve on the right. Fortunately, now that my mother and concubine are more elegant than those in Beijing, my child is relieved."

"Ruier has a heart."

Concubine Jiang smiled and helped the "son" up.In the eyes of outsiders, it is also a harmonious scene of motherly kindness and filial piety.

Jiang Xuejiao, who was a few steps behind Concubine Jiang, looked at Han Rui from a distance of several people, only wishing that her infatuated gaze could not be seen by her cousin.

I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, and he is much taller and handsome than before. He looks bigger than the average 14-year-old boy, full of vigor and high spirits.

In the past, Jiang Xuejiao fell in love with Han Rui because she wanted to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, but now she is falling in love with Han Rui even more.But... thinking of her aunt's reaction in the back hall just now, Jiang Xuejiao was also in a state of agitation and didn't know what to do.

Jiang Xuejiao couldn't get close to Han Rui in public, let alone talk about herself.If Han Rui had entered the back hall just now, Jiang Xuejiao would have found a chance to get close to him, but Han Rui didn't give her this chance.

Han Rui's idea was simple.In front of Concubine Jiang, he will no longer deliberately hide his true self.Now that Concubine Jiang must have known her "other side", she would definitely not despise him as before, and his behaviors of pretending to be low-key and foolish were unnecessary.

But he will not lack the proper etiquette... and he doesn't want him to really serve Concubine Jiang in daily life, it's nothing more than saying hello in the morning and evening, and accompanying Concubine Jiang to Lianhua Temple to pay respects to Buddha.

Concubine Jiang might not want him to accompany her, but unfortunately, he came all the way from the capital ahead of time just to disturb Concubine Jiang's good affairs, so how could he not accompany her?

The dinner party didn't last long.Concubine Jiang was really tired. Not only was the journey bumpy and hard, but she also had a lot of things to think about, and she was also very tired.

Now that Concubine Jiang has spoken, there is no reason for the guests to hang around.Anyway, the intention of coming to visit today has been exhausted, whether or not to cooperate in the future, it is not a matter of public communication - everything must be handed over to capable men to discuss secretly.

Han Rui didn't delay at all, and left after the guests left more than halfway, and didn't plan to live in Jiang's house at all.The so-called "serving mother and concubine" scene, everyone just listen to it...

"Humph."

Looking at Han Ruiyuan's back, Concubine Jiang narrowed her eyes, and a faint haze appeared between her brows.

This kid... how many things are he hiding from himself?

If he knew it earlier, he should have prevented him from returning to his hometown. Even if he moved out in the name of helping his deceased mother, he should not have allowed him to leave Beijing!

Obviously, people have been sent to watch his daily life and diet since he was a child, what happened so that he can learn all kinds of kung fu?From what my natal brother said, it seems that this kid can not only protect himself...

What an annoyance!

If it weren't for the serious illness of the noble clan children in the capital, the Imperial Hospital would send imperial physicians to treat them and record the medical records, Concubine Jiang would have wanted to attack Han Rui a few years ago.You should have been ruthless then...

After returning to Jiang Manor to decorate her a new provincial hospital, Concubine Jiang did not go to bed and rest directly after washing and removing her make-up.

"Ruyi, please invite Seventh Miss over here to talk."

The big maid Ruyi was a little surprised, but she didn't say much, and went away.Is the empress so close to that Miss Jiang Qi?Although Miss Seven lived in the palace, and the empress was very kind to Miss Seven at that time, she didn't mention her niece much afterward.

"Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Jiang Xuejiao had already rested, and got up from the bed as soon as she heard the servant's report.
