Chapter 180 Meeting the Princess
Just like that, Su Cheng'an followed Jin Chu and Mother Chen and arrived at Princess Du's Hanzhang Courtyard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Yan Ming, the maidservant beside the princess, came to greet her. When she saw Jin Chu beside Mother Chen, a look of surprise flashed across Yan Ming's eyes, and then returned to normal.
"The princess is already waiting in the house. The girl is finally here!" Yanming took over Mother Chen's seat and supported Jinchu as they walked into the house.
The five-room main house was spacious and bright. Jin Chu followed Yan Ming through the main hall and into the west side room.
Princess Du was dressed in a ginger-yellow gown, with only two white jade hairpins in her hair, which made her dark hair look even more like clouds. Such a simple outfit could not in the least conceal her bright and charming beauty.
At this time, she was holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly. When she heard the noise, she looked up at the person who came.
When they looked at each other, Princess Du smiled with satisfaction.
The girl in front of me is beautiful and elegant, with a clear and bright gaze. She is like a fresh and natural bud about to bloom, which makes people happy when they see her.
Putting aside other things, just looking at his appearance, Yizi is a kid with really good taste.
Princess Du knew that she had an outstanding appearance. Not to mention in the northern border, even in the capital, she was one of the most beautiful people back then. Although she is a bit older now, she is favored by God. Time has not added any wrinkles to her. On the contrary, due to many years of wealthy life, she has become more noble.
Therefore, whenever a little girl came to the mansion, Princess Du would dress herself simply and plainly. One reason was to make herself appear more approachable, and the other was to prevent her appearance from being too conspicuous and making the little girl feel uneasy.
When Princess Du received the report from the outer courtyard today that the prince had returned with a girl, she was stunned at first, and then delighted.
She remembered that the last time she and the prince urged Yizhi to get married, Yizhi said that he had someone he loved.
At that time, she just thought it was an excuse for her son to refuse the marriage.
Now it seems that the girl whom her good son, who always avoided girls, brought back without any hesitation in public, could it be that this girl is really the girl her son mentioned?
Thinking of this, Princess Du sat up straight: "Quick, quick, help me clean up!" After saying that, she suddenly thought of her appearance. If she dressed up, would it scare her future daughter-in-law?
She immediately leaned over and waved at the girl, "Just dress normally, so as not to scare the little girl."
The maids understood and joked, "The princess is feeling sorry for that lucky girl in advance!"
Princess Du also laughed: "My son has finally brought back such a girl. I must treat her well. This will prevent your prince from picking on me."
She stood up to change her clothes, and did not forget to tell Chen Mama beside her: "Mother, go out and pick up the girl first, and bring her directly to Hanzhang Courtyard to show me. As for your family's young master, I don't have time to deal with him right now, so send him back to his Shaoguang Courtyard first!"
It was because of Princess Du's words that Su Cheng'an insisted on following Jin Chu to Hanzhang Courtyard.
When Jin Chu looked up and saw Princess Du, he was stunned for a moment.
As expected, hearing about it is not as good as meeting it in person. Princess Du’s beauty is well-known in Dajin. She had heard about it when she was in the capital.
Although he was mentally prepared, when he really saw this beautiful woman who was actually over 40 years old but looked like a young woman in her prime, Jin Chu couldn't help but sigh "She is so beautiful that she can only topple a country."
After being in this other world for so long, among all the women she had met, if we only talk about beauty and charm, no one can surpass Princess Du.
Seeing Princess Du's smile, Jin Chu couldn't help but be stunned again. She stared at Princess Du for a few more reluctant glances before lowering her head and politely stepping forward to pay her respects: "My little girl, Jin'er, greets the princess!"
Princess Du stood up and supported Jinchu, saying with a smile, "Jin'er, there's no need to be so polite. Cheng'an has done a good deed this time, bringing me such a pretty and beautiful girl."
"I don't deserve your praise, Princess. I'm sorry for disturbing you by entering your residence without permission. I'm deeply grateful for your forgiveness."
Seeing Jin Chu's respectful and humble words, Princess Du felt even more satisfied.
She patted Jinchu's hand soothingly and said, "Jin'er, don't be so polite. You once saved Cheng'an's life. Just for this, you are a noble lady in our Dingbei Palace. Moreover, I only have one child, Cheng'an. I am very happy to have such a caring girl by my side.
From now on, treat this place as your home. If you need anything, just tell the servants around you. Don't be polite, and don't let yourself be wronged."
Jin Chu felt a warm feeling in her heart. Regardless of whether it was true or false, at least Princess Du showed her enough respect and care for her who had come from afar.
She nodded and was about to speak when Su Cheng'an's smiling voice came over first: "Mother, please at least pay attention to your son!"
Princess Du then glanced at Su Cheng'an, who was not far away. Seeing that her son was fine, Princess Du was relieved, but her mouth was even more disgusted: "You are a thick-skinned and thick-skinned brat, what is there to worry about?"
"Yes, yes, my son has a thick skin, but Ah Jin is a delicate girl after all. This time, she followed my son and left her family to come to our Youyun City alone. My son must make sure she is well settled before he can feel at ease. Mother, can you give Ah Jin the Man Cuixuan next to my son to rest?"
Su Cheng'an looked at Jin Chu as he spoke, with an extremely gentle smile on his face.
Princess Du looked at her son's gentle care for the girl calmly, and her heart couldn't help but burst into joy.
Her son, who used to be a monk, finally came to his senses today!
It seems that the day when she drinks daughter-in-law tea is not far away!
Thinking of this, Princess Du suddenly felt a little mischievous, so she cleared her throat and smiled at Jin Chu, "Since Cheng'an calls you Ah Jin, I will be bold and call you Ah Jin too."
Seeing Jin Chu nod with a smile, Princess Du continued, "The view of Yiran Residence next to me is also nice. Why don't you live there, Jin? That way, you can spend more time with me every day, and we can get closer..."
"Mother concubine!"
Princess Du was interrupted by Su Cheng'an as soon as she finished speaking. She looked up at Su Cheng'an with a puzzled look.
"Mother," Su Cheng'an said in a softer tone this time, "Ajin is the only one in this mansion who knows me well, so it would be better if he lived closer to me. Mother, you have a lot of things to do every day, so when you have some free time, I'll have Ajin come and accompany you."
At this point, he glanced at Jinchu. Seeing that she only smiled without saying anything, he knew that she didn't really care where she lived. He felt more relaxed and spoke more casually: "Besides, Ah Jin is not an ordinary lady. She may have to go out frequently. It would be more reassuring to have her son accompany her."
With a "puff", Princess Du couldn't help laughing out loud, and the old women and maids beside her also lowered their heads to hide their laughter.
Jin Chu's face turned red because of the laughter. She raised her eyes and glared at Su Cheng'an, as if blaming him for his recklessness.
"Okay, since Cheng'an has said so, I, as a mother, will no longer compete with you for Ajin!"
Princess Du looked at the interaction between the two children and smiled happily.
