133 Her Expression Changed
“Miss Jiang Xi, you’re so lucky. I’ve been serving people in Jing City for decades, but I’ve never seen anyone who loves his wife as much as General Zhao. All the girls in Jing City are envious of you, Miss Jiang Xi,” the nanny said with a smile while serving Jiang Xi.
After dressing up, the nanny looked at Jiang Xi’s face and was secretly shocked. She could not tell it before she had put on makeup, but after she put on makeup, it was as if dust had been swept away, revealing her beauty. She even had an aura that ordinary women did not have. The people in Jing City said that Zhao Panpan’s face was as beautiful as a fairy, but in the nanny’s eyes, Miss Jiang Xi’s face was not inferior to Zhao Panpan’s. In fact, she even had a little more charm than Zhao Panpan. Zhao Panpan’s face was beautiful. However, if she was too beautiful, women would not like her too much. Instead, they would easily treat her as an enemy. Jiang Xi’s face, on the other hand, had very harmonious facial features. The more one looked at her face, the more likable she became. Almost everyone who saw her face would feel a sense of love for her.
“Don’t worry, Miss Jiang Xi. You look like a virgin girl in front of the Guanyin seat. You must be very lucky. The empress has been praying to Buddha all year round. She must like you very much.” The nanny could not help but comfort Jiang Xi, for she was afraid that Jiang Xi would be too nervous since it was her first time in the palace.
After dressing up, Zhao Ruifeng and Jiang Xi went into the palace together. On the way, Zhao Ruifeng secretly glanced at Jiang Xi from time to time and grinned. However, whenever Jiang Xi looked at him, he would put on a serious look and hold his head high as if he was saying, “I’m not looking at you… I’m not looking at you.”
Jiang Xi shook her head. Zhao Ruifeng’s father, Zhao Hongwei, was so popular with women that he could easily coax a woman to marry him. It was a pity that Zhao Ruifeng did not inherit Zhao Hongwei’s skills. He was simply stupid when it came to treating women.
After entering the palace, Jiang Xi felt a heavy and oppressive atmosphere. She was surrounded by power and wealth that the world could not imagine, but she only felt suffocating pressure. She was afraid that there were many resentful women in the palace.
“When you see the empress later, don’t be afraid. Just tell her the truth. I’m here.” Zhao Ruifeng’s eyes were sparkling. His wife was really beautiful today.
This time, the emperor sent Jiang Xi into the palace to raise Jiang Xi’s status. After all, Jiang Xi’s status was too low. After she married Zhao Ruifeng in the future, her status would be a joke.
Jiang Xi grinned and thought to herself, ‘Isn’t Zhao Ruifeng known for being cold, heartless, and quiet?’ Why was he acting like a nanny now?
“General, Miss Zhao Panpan came to the palace early this morning to admire the flowers with the empress. The empress is very happy now. Miss Jiang Xi, you should go with her.” The empress’s head palace maid came to pick Jiang Xi up, but when she saw Jiang Xi, her eyes flashed with coldness. After all, she was someone who had stayed in the palace, so there was no trace of abnormality on her face.
The harem was filled with the emperor’s concubines, no man was allowed to enter without being summoned. After Zhao Ruifeng sent Jiang Xi to the door, he went directly to the imperial study.
“You are too considerate. How could I bully your future sister-in-law? It’s hard for you to come over so early to accompany me.” The empress took Zhao Panpan’s hand and patted it, her face full of relief. “You’re such a kind girl. You’ve been raised properly by your mother and doted on since you were young. You’re pure and innocent. Don’t be deceived by others. I heard yesterday that Jiang Xi wanted to be the master of the Zhao family before she even married into the family. Your brother, Zhao Ruifeng, even emptied the Zhao family’s warehouse in the middle of the night. It’s clear that your brother is also an insensible person.” The empress’s eyes were cold, but when she looked at Zhao Panpan, her eyes softened.
“Your Majesty, Panpan is not that stupid. Panpan knows everything and will not be deceived by others. Jiang Xi came to Jing City alone, so she was afraid that the Zhao family would bully her. She doesn’t like me using ‘Xixi’ as my nickname, so I won’t use it anymore. I can’t let my big brother be unable to find a wife and die alone just because of a name, right?” Zhao Panpan pouted and stomped her feet, acting like a little girl.
When the empress heard Zhao Panpan’s words, her expression changed.
