Seeing that even a servant dared to talk to her like this, Murong Yunxi was about to fly into a rage. But suddenly, she realized that this nanny was someone close to the princess consort. She must have been authorized and allowed by the princess consort to say such things!
Murong Yunxi looked at the princess consort in disbelief. Didn't the princess consort think that the pock - faced woman was unworthy of Brother Yun?
The princess consort covered her lips and smiled softly, waving her hand. "The servant is outspoken. Princess Yunxi, please don't take it to heart. However, as a princess of a country, it's really inappropriate for you to look down on others like this. Miss Luoluo is not bad - looking. Compared with those delicate young ladies from noble families, she has a rare simplicity and kindness, which I like very much." Besides, as long as my son likes her, it's none of your business! How dare you say that my son is infatuated? Bah! Who do you think you are, Murong Yunxi? I haven't even settled the score with you for drugging my son with aphrodisiac back then! And you still dare to bully my future daughter - in - law!
Murong Yunxi's face turned even uglier.
Naturally, Wu Luoluo also sensed that the princess consort was backing her up, and she felt a bit grateful. At first, she thought the woman pestering her young master was Miss Wei, but it seemed not. Wu Luoluo felt a bit uneasy. Her young master was good - looking, and even the princess of the Celestial Dynasty took the initiative to pester him. She was afraid that there were many women in this big capital city coveting her young master. She wondered if her young master could resist the temptation.
Shangguan Yun's father coughed lightly, signaling his wife to stop there. In front of everyone, they should at least leave some face for the royal princess. He waved his hand and smiled. "It's a great joy that Yun'er is back alive. Let's not stand outside. Go into the house and have some tea! Princess Qigong, come and sit down too!"
The princess consort gave her husband an annoyed look. What do you want to let Princess Qi in for?
The prince was speechless. She came here on her own initiative. We can't just drive her away, can we?
Shangguan Yun originally planned to teach Murong Yunxi a lesson himself. Seeing his mother speak up to protect Wu Luoluo, he was very happy. He tightly held Wu Luoluo's hand and stepped into the main hall to take his seat.
Wu Luoluo kept trying to pull her hand back. It was inappropriate for the young master to hold her hand so tightly in front of the elders, wasn't it?
Shangguan Yun ignored her slight struggle and refused to let go. He led her to the upper seat.
The prince and his wife exchanged a look, their faces beaming with doting love and joy.
Seeing this scene, Murong Yunxi's face darkened. She cursed secretly in her heart that the vixen didn't know any manners.
Everyone took their seats, and the servants served tea.
The princess consort's maid brought in a whole set of jadeite headdresses. Murong Yunxi took a glance and almost dropped her jaw in shock. This set of jadeite headdresses was even more exquisite and beautiful than the rare treasures she had pestered the empress dowager for. It must have been the princess consort's treasure for many years. It was no exaggeration to call it the heirloom of the prince's mansion!
But the princess consort actually took it out so easily as a meeting gift for her future daughter - in - law? Murong Yunxi felt a pang of jealousy, and her face turned green.
The princess consort happily took the box and held it in front of Wu Luoluo. "Luoluo, come and see if you like it?"
The headdress was so exquisite and luxurious that Wu Luoluo had never seen anything like it. She carefully looked at Shangguan Yun. Seeing him nod to signal her to accept it, she was flattered. She stepped forward and bowed. "Thank you, Princess Consort!"
The princess consort saw the eye contact between Wu Luoluo and her son, and she was extremely happy. Today, not only was her beloved son back, but he also brought back a gentle and sensible future daughter - in - law! The princess consort was overjoyed, and her face was wreathed in smiles.
Murong Yunxi was so jealous that she almost wanted to drive Wu Luoluo out of the mansion on the spot.
The princess consort happily ordered the servants. "Go and arrange the best guest room for Miss Luoluo, and send this set of headdresses to the guest room."
Is the princess consort planning to let that vixen stay for a long time? Murong Yunxi was beside herself with rage. She almost wanted to kill Wu Luoluo with her eyes.
Wu Luoluo didn't have the time to look at her. When meeting her future in - laws for the first time, she sat there properly and didn't dare to move, for fear that she might act inappropriately and embarrass the young master.
However, Shangguan Yun still held Wu Luoluo's little hand regardless. He waved to his mother. "There's no need to arrange a guest room. Send it to my room."
Everyone was stunned. What did this mean?
Shangguan Yun said righteously. "We've already had the relationship of husband and wife. Naturally, Luoluo will stay in my bedroom."
Everyone was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out. The always gentle and elegant Young Master Yun had actually done such a thing? He had slept with a girl before marriage?
The princess consort was both happy and worried. She complained repeatedly. "Yun'er, you're really too reckless. How could you be so disrespectful and abrupt to Luoluo?"
Wu Luoluo never expected that the young master would say such a thing in public. She immediately blushed and lowered her head. Her jade - like fingers dug hard into Shangguan Yun's palm.
Hearing this, Murong Yunxi was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Back then, she had drugged Shangguan Yun with aphrodisiac, but he couldn't swim. He would rather jump into the lake than touch her! Now, Brother Yun had actually slept with a pock - faced woman? How could he bear to do it with such an ugly woman?
Murong Yunxi was so furious that she gritted her teeth. "Brother Yun! Did she force you? How dare she! I'll have her dragged out and hacked to death!"
Everyone: … What does our prince's mansion business have to do with you?
Shangguan Yun glanced at the blushing Wu Luoluo and coughed slowly. "Well, it was me who forced her."
Everyone: …
Wu Luoluo was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Murong Yunxi was so angry that she was almost in a swoon.
Shangguan Yun said seriously to the prince and his wife. "Father and Mother, I'm sorry to Miss Luoluo first. So, the first thing I did when I returned to the capital was to think about marrying Luoluo as soon as possible." The sooner the better. It would be best to skip the complicated etiquette and get married and have the wedding night tomorrow.
The princess consort was speechless. You're being ridiculous! The etiquette must be complete. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the girl!
The prince nodded. "Okay, I'll have someone invite the matchmaker over and arrange it quickly."
Murong Yunxi was so angry that her whole body trembled like a sieve. She stood up shakily and said to the prince. "Your Highness, marriage is a major event in life. It should be arranged by parents and matchmakers and must not be hasty. Years ago, the empress dowager always wanted me to marry Brother Yun. She even discussed this matter with Brother Yun privately. I've always remembered what my imperial grandmother taught me. For so many years, I've only been in love with Brother Yun. Now that Brother Yun is going to marry this young lady, then, what about me?"
Only then did Wu Luoluo raise her eyebrows and look at Murong Yunxi. From what the princess said, it seemed that she was using the empress dowager to force the young master to marry her?
The prince looked at his son and asked. "Did the empress dowager really discuss this matter with you privately?" If so, it would be a bit embarrassing to go against the empress dowager's wishes.
Shangguan Yun shook his head. "No."
