An Ruowan didn't care about anything else and subconsciously turned around to stop in front of Gu Beichen. Before he fell down, he tightly circled his entire waist, letting all the strength of Gu Beichen's body rest on him.
Gu Beichen was already prepared for wrestling, but unexpectedly he picked up the nephrite warm fragrance in his arms. The girl's nervousness lingered on, and her whole body trembled in his arms.
His voice couldn't help but become much softer, "I'm fine."
"Thank you, Miss An."
No matter how thin Gu Beichen was, he was still a grown man, not to mention that he was nine feet tall, and An Ruowan couldn't stand still after a while under his weight.
Qingfeng on the side immediately stepped forward to help Gu Beichen up, and couldn't help complaining: "As for the humble position, I have to take it slow. The prince must listen to Miss An..."
He already had some opinions about An Ruowan in his words.
Qingfeng supported Gu Beichen and wanted to walk to the bed, but he held his arm down.
"You help me walk."
Qingfeng's eyes suddenly widened: "No, Your Majesty, you just..."
"Why, my words don't work?"
Gu Beichen's tone was calm, but there was an irresistible coldness in his words, which made the temperature in the whole room seem to drop a bit.
Qingfeng did not dare to say any more, so he could only try his best to hold Gu Beichen's shoulders, and was prepared for Gu Beichen to fall again.
Unexpectedly, when he started walking again, Gu Beichen could actually take one step at a time and walk slowly back and forth in the huge room.
Qingfeng opened his eyes in shock and couldn't believe it, "How is that possible?"
"There are those in the army who have broken muscles and bones and cannot get out of bed for a hundred days. If they want to walk, they have to adapt to recuperation for more than three months. What's more, the prince has not walked for two years, but he can walk with help in just a few days!"
Gu Beichen's eyes were also full of unconcealable joy, and he looked at An Ruowan who was smiling gently at the side with some surprise.
"Okay, the amount of exercise is almost done today. Let's help the prince to rest on the bed."
Gu Beichen pressed Qingfeng's arm and subconsciously turned his head to look outside the room. He refused to admit defeat. After seeing that he could walk back and forth, he obviously had the idea of walking to a larger place outside.
An Ruowan saw what he meant and immediately stopped her, "You must not rush for quick success when it comes to your prince's leg injury. It can damage your muscles and bones at the least, or completely cripple your entire leg in the worst case!"
In the end, Gu Beichen didn't insist and let Qingfeng help him back to bed.
While packing her things, An Ruowan warned: "The decoction is still the same as what I told you before, three times a day, but starting from today, you need to apply a hot towel on your knees for an hour every night."
"Let's talk about the rest when I come for acupuncture tomorrow."
Qingfeng subconsciously replied, "It may not be convenient tomorrow. There are things going on at home these days, so treatment may not be convenient."
Before Qingfeng could speak, Gu Beichen explained: "Ten days from now, it will be the 40th birthday of my mother, Concubine Zhen, and the emperor has given her permission to return home to celebrate her birthday."
An Ruowan was heartbroken and couldn't help but slow down in packing her things.
Perhaps seeing her hesitation, Gu Beichen suddenly said for some reason: "Miss An, are you willing to give me some favor?"
An Ruowan didn't react, "What?"
Gu Beichen said naturally: "You will have to visit me in three months, so you can meet my mother and concubine on her birthday."
As soon as these words came out, even Qingfeng looked at Gu Beichen in surprise.
Even though he knew that his prince always told the truth, but after all he married a princess with a very different status and was raised in the countryside. He originally thought that the prince was just an object in the house, but he never expected that he would be willing to introduce her to the dowager. !
What's more, it's a birthday, and all the prominent people in the capital are going to attend, and they all have to see the future Princess Rong who descends from the sky. The importance attached to this is self-evident.
An Ruowan raised her eyebrows: "Of course I do."
After leaving Gu Beichen's room, he had to go around a large garden to reach the main entrance. As soon as An Ruowan walked to the flower bed in the center of the garden with her bag in hand, she bumped into a group of people.
The leading girl wore a precious jade hairpin on her head and was dressed in silk silk. Her beautiful and delicate face showed undisguised arrogance. At first glance, she was the apple of a wealthy family.
It was Gu Beichen's cousin, Princess Pingning.
An Ruowan couldn't dodge and could only stand on one side of the road, nodding slightly and greeting Princess Pingning.
Princess Pingning paused and looked An Ruowan up and down, "I've been in and out of my cousin's house before, but why haven't I seen this servant? He looks so charming!"
The slave Ronger behind him immediately flattered her, "Princess, she is not a slave in the mansion, but the legitimate daughter, An Ruowan, who was just found by the Prime Minister's mansion not long ago."
Princess Pingning's face changed slightly, "An Ruowan? Is he the one who stopped my cousin's bicycle in the street?"
The slave nodded quickly and glanced at An Ruowan, who had a low eyebrow, with a look of watching a good show flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, that's the one who regretted the engagement on the wedding day and dared to overestimate his ability and marry the prince!"
Princess Pingning sneered, "It turns out it's that shameless bitch. He's so brave. He dared to go to the house and stick it up!"
An Ruowan frowned and looked up at Princess Pingning, raising her chin and giving orders to An Ruowan.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a low-class person like you. Let's ask your father to come to the house tomorrow to break off the engagement!"
With that said, Princess Pingning led the people and walked past An Ruowan.
"Why?"
An Ruowan looked at Princess Pingning calmly.
She never expected that a country girl with a lower status than herself would have the courage to question her. Princess Pingning laughed angrily and pointed at An Ruowan with her finger stained with impatiens.
"Who are you, and you dare to get involved with my cousin? Let me tell you, the position of Prince Rong and Princess Rong can only belong to this princess!"
Ronger immediately echoed from behind: "The princess is right! This kind of country bumpkin who didn't know how to collapse from that pile of dirt should stop dreaming here!"
An Ruowan pursed her lips and smiled softly, "The princess said this, does the prince know?"
"I don't care if my cousin knows it or not. Who hasn't known since childhood that this princess loves my cousin and will not marry anyone other than my cousin? Even if my cousin is seriously injured, I will never leave him. What the hell are you doing and you want to get involved?"
An Ruowan looked at Princess Pingning's arrogant look and nodded clearly, "That's because I don't know. It's because Princess Pingning has unrequited love, and she keeps falling in love with her."
She smiled slightly, "Then the princess is no different from me. Oh no, there is still a difference."
"After all, the prince promised to marry me."
These words instantly pierced the pain of Princess Pingning. She had been obsessed with Gu Beichen for many years, and no one in the court knew about it. However, Gu Beichen himself only regarded her as his younger sister. Even if she was seriously injured and unable to do anything, she never He had thought of marrying her.
Why did he suddenly agree to marry a country girl?
"Just take the casual joke seriously. It's not yet certain whether I will marry you or not!"
The more Princess Pingning thought about it, the more she hated her. She couldn't help but threaten again: "So what if you can get in? Concubine Zhen likes me so much. Sooner or later, she will let my cousin marry me and get in. Then you will have a good harvest!"
"It doesn't matter."
An Ruowan shrugged and smiled meaningfully, "Anyway, I am the head wife. The princess can come in anytime..."
"...It's all about being a concubine."
"Come here, slap me hard and slap this bitch's mouth to pieces!"
