Since there was one more person, Princess Zhen was about to ask the maid to arrange a new seat for him, but she didn't want to pay attention to Beichen but went straight to sit next to An Ruowan.
Today, everyone came to the palace and saw An Zhining appearing here. They all speculated in their hearts that Princess Zhen's move might have some other meaning.
But when they saw Gu Beichen's behavior, they couldn't help but suspect that in Prince Rong's heart, he was looking for An Ruowan.
An Zhining couldn't help but change her face when she saw this scene, and the smile on her lips froze a bit, "Do you want to invite the Buddha statue out?"
With just one word, Princess Zhen came back to her senses. Thinking that all the ladies from the aristocratic families were here, she managed to maintain a smile on her face and ordered her servants to carry the Buddha statue up with a wave of her hand.
Everyone focused their attention on the Buddha statue in front of them. Their minds were spinning a thousand times, but they were not focused on the Buddha statue in front of them.
An Zhining was sitting next to Princess Zhen, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Her eyes would always fall on Gu Beichen and An Ruowan standing aside, and the jealousy in her eyes almost overflowed from her eyes.
Soon after looking at the Buddha statue, Princess Zhen originally wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone why An Zhining was sitting here now, but Gu Beichen's eyes never fell on An Zhining. It made her feel a little strange.
Seeing that Princess Zhen didn't speak anymore, everyone understood that today's show was going to be a good show, and they were afraid that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they all made excuses and left.
In the end, apart from the An family sisters and Princess Zhen's mother and son, Arina was the only one left smiling at the scene in front of her.
She didn't know An Zhining's identity, let alone what Concubine Zhen meant by bringing An Zhining to her house. Instead, she didn't hide the hatred in her eyes and looked straight at An Ruowan.
"Princess Yuanshuang doesn't seem to know about the incest between men and women."
Since there were no outsiders here, Arina slowly spoke, and the words she spoke made An Zhining look at her with suspicion.
"What does Princess Arina mean by this?" An Ruowan raised her hands as she spoke, "It seems that I have never met any man."
Gu Beichen frowned slightly at this time, as if he was very dissatisfied with Arina's opening, "If I remember correctly, Princess Arina should be a guest today, but the other guests have left now, I don't know if Arina What else does Princess Na have to do?"
In response to this clear expulsion order, Arina only looked like she didn't understand anything, "It seems that the person who invited me here today is not Prince Rong."
As she said that, Arina turned her attention to Princess Zhen. Because of her special status this time, Princess Zhen couldn't just drive people away.
"Yes, you don't have to interfere in this matter."
Princess Zhen didn't want Gu Beichen to get involved in this kind of thing, but because of An Ruowan, Gu Beichen seemed to go against her again and again.
After hearing this, Gu Beichen raised his head and looked at Princess Zhen, "If the mother-in-law called a few people here to add new people to Prince Rong's palace, how can the child not interfere?"
Seeing the slight smile on Gu Beichen's lips, Princess Zhen understood that Gu Beichen still didn't want her to decide on the concubine in Prince Rong's palace.
An Zhining clenched her hands when she heard this. She didn't understand why all the efforts she had put in and made for this matter were now worthless in front of Gu Beichen.
Even if she successfully hugged Princess Zhen's thigh, none of it was as useful as Gu Beichen's words.
Before all the emotions in her heart could burst out, Arina stood up first and said, "Princess Zhen, I am the princess of Tuoba Kingdom. I have been to Daqi before and fell in love with Prince Rong at first sight. Now that I see the concubine, I just want to express my love to you. Mind."
Arina's sudden move immediately stunned Princess Zhen and An Zhining.
Especially An Zhining, she felt a bit anxious at this time. She didn't understand how everything had changed just after returning from the border. Inexplicably, there was an extra princess of Tuoba Kingdom who wanted to compete with her. Beichen.
Seeing the hostility in An Zhining's eyes, Arina chuckled, obviously not taking An Zhining seriously.
Only Princess Zhen's eyes flashed with joy, and then she focused on Gu Beichen.
"Zitan, why have you never mentioned this matter to me?"
Hearing this, Gu Beichen frowned, "Arina, don't talk nonsense in front of your mother and concubine!"
But Arina looked at Gu Beichen regardless, "In our Tuoba country, you just like us if you like us, and we can't tolerate any hypocrisy. Why can't you say it? What is nonsense?"
Gu Beichen was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he immediately turned around and left.
Seeing this, An Ruowan also stood up at this time, "It seems that I don't have anything to do here. Concubine, please leave first."
"Wait!"
Princess Zhen raised her hand and stopped An Ruowan, "There is something happening today that Princess Yuanshuang must not have known about."
It was not until Gu Beichen's figure disappeared that Princess Zhen continued, "Although Zhining is my goddaughter in name, I have always wanted to marry her."
An Ruowan heard clearly what Princess Zhen meant by her words, and turned around with a smile after she finished speaking.
"I don't know what the concubine thinks. I only remember that this should be the residence of Prince Rong, not the residence of the concubine."
After saying a few words lightly, An Ruowan ignored Princess Zhen's cheeks that were red with anger, nodded slightly in front of her, and then turned around and left.
Arina also observed this scene with great interest. She originally thought that Daqi also paid attention to the words of parents and matchmakers, but now she saw that neither An Ruowan nor Gu Beichen took this matter to heart, which made her even more worried. The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
"Today the Japanese princess came here for Prince Rong. Since he is not here now, the Japanese princess should leave first."
After the words fell, Arina also stood up and walked out.
In a blink of an eye, only Concubine Zhen and An Zhining were left here. Seeing Concubine Zhen being very angry, An Zhining quickly stepped forward and acted like a good daughter, and took care of Zhen with one hand. The concubine calmed down and did not forget to support the concubine Zhen with her other hand.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to take your elder sister's words to heart. My elder sister is used to speaking so openly. If you have offended your Majesty, I am here to apologize to your Majesty for your elder sister!"
An Zhining said these words extremely sincerely. After finishing her words, she was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Princess Zhen.
"You are not the one who really did the wrong thing, so why should you take the blame for her!"
Hearing the anger in Princess Zhen's words, An Zhining's lowered eyes flashed with a smile.
On the other hand, after Arina left the palace, she immediately sent someone to check the relationship between An Zhining and An Ruowan. She had a feeling that An Zhining might be able to help her.
