In the courtyard of Princess Zhen, the moment of tranquility was suddenly broken. The grandma who was guarding outside the door saw a figure rushing towards the door desperately, and immediately raised her hand to stop the person.
Looking closely, she realized that the person who came was actually Princess Pingning. Her disheveled appearance made her expression change.
"Princess Princess, what happened?"
As Mammy's words fell, Ping Ning couldn't control the tears that had fallen all the way.
Princess Zhen heard the noise and came out of the house.
"We'll talk about it after we come in."
Ping Ning threw herself into Princess Zhen's arms and burst into tears.
"Cousin, I'm not alive anymore!"
Concubine Zhen didn't say anything, she gave her a look and she withdrew.
After Ping Ning's crying subsided, Princess Zhen asked: "He rejected you?"
Obviously, Princess Zhen also knew about what Ping Ning did in advance.
Ping Ning wiped her tears clean, "Yes, even such a humiliating scene made An Ruowan watch it all!"
When An Ruowan was mentioned, Princess Pingning gritted her teeth and attributed everything today to her.
"If she hadn't suddenly appeared, how could my cousin be indifferent to me?"
Princess Zhen glanced at Ping Ning's appearance. Since dressing up like this couldn't make Gu Beichen do anything to Ping Ning, she was afraid that the matter had nothing to do with An Ruowan.
However, Princess Zhen had no intention of informing Princess Pingning about this.
"Good boy, you have done all your hard work now, so why do you have to hang yourself on this tree? If you don't listen to me, I will find it for you..."
Hearing the implication of Princess Zhen's words, Ping Ning immediately sat up and said, "Cousin, you know that my wish since childhood is to marry into Prince Rong's palace. Is there anyone in the entire capital who doesn't know that I am happy with her?" We are cousins!”
Seeing the persistence in Ping Ning's eyes, Princess Zhen sighed softly, "That's all. Who allowed you, a child, to grow up beside me since you were a child? I have also regarded you as one of my own since you were a child."
"Cousin."
Hearing that Concubine Zhen's words relaxed a little, Ping Ning rested his head on her lap, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
As for Princess Zhen's love alone, An Ruowan couldn't keep up with her no matter how hard she worked!
After a moment, Princess Jane whispered something in her ear, and her eyes instantly lit up.
"Cousin, is this really okay?"
Even though there was a bit of hesitation in her words, the excitement in her eyes revealed her true thoughts.
"Who makes me reluctant to leave you to others, so I have to come up with this method. When the time comes, who else will say anything?"
Since Princess Zhen had said such a thing, Ping Ning naturally had no objection and quickly agreed to the matter.
After putting on all her clothes, she left.
Three days later, when Gu Beichen could walk around, the emperor couldn't wait to announce that the celebration banquet would be held tomorrow. He even sent someone to Prince Rong's Mansion to inform Gu Beichen.
"Your Majesty will not let me rest for a moment."
Gu Beichen's eyes flickered several times, and his gaze fell in the direction of the palace through the open window.
An Ruowan's voice came from behind, "Maybe His Majesty still has doubts about the prince's injury, so he wants to test it as soon as possible."
"How does the princess think this king should respond?"
The imperial doctor sent by the palace and Luo Qingqiu's test were all because An Ruowan had made pills in advance that could change the aura of martial arts practitioners.
"Of course it's the same way."
An Ruowan smiled and took out the things in his hands.
"Sure enough, the princess has the foresight."
As soon as Gu Beichen took the pills, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door, which made him frown.
"At the celebration banquet, Zitan took Pingning with him. There are many rules in the palace. If Wan doesn't understand something, he can ask Pingning to point it out and he won't make any mistakes in public."
Concubine Zhen walked in from outside the house with Princess Pingning, and her first words made Gu Beichen's face darken.
"In what capacity does Ping Ning go?"
Hearing Gu Beichen's emotionless rhetorical question, Ping Ning felt a little aggrieved, "Cousin, when did we become so estranged from each other?"
"If I remember correctly, Ping Ning has reached the age of marriage."
Gu Beichen suddenly said such a ridiculous statement. Only Princess Zhen understood what he meant.
"Zitan, do you really want to be so cruel?"
After Princess Zhen's words fell, Gu Beichen stared expressionlessly in front of him. Although he didn't respond, the implication was obvious.
"What if I insist on letting you take someone with you?"
Concubine Zhen thought of the idea she and Ping Ning had come up with, and she had to ask Gu Beichen to bring Ping Ning to the palace today, so her words became a bit harsh.
"If it's my mother's order, I certainly wouldn't dare disobey it."
Princess Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and regardless of An Ruowan's presence, she said sincerely: "Everything I do is for your own good."
Seeing Concubine Zhen's appearance, An Ruowan curled her lips, shrugged and stepped back indifferently.
Early the next morning.
When An Ruowan arrived outside the mansion, the carriage from Prince Rong's mansion had been waiting for a long time.
Caihuan stepped forward and opened the carriage curtain, and saw Princess Pingning already sitting in the carriage.
After seeing An Ruowan, a trace of pride flashed across Ping Ning's face, "Yesterday, my cousin promised to bring the princess into the palace with him."
An Ruowan naturally heard what happened yesterday, and she hesitated whether to get into the carriage.
If she went in, she would be with Heping Ning all the way, but if she didn't go in, Gu Beichen would wait until Gu Beichen came out and got on the carriage, leaving her alone.
Just when An Ruowan was hesitating, Gu Beichen walked up behind her. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately understood what was going on.
"I wonder if the princess is afraid of the cold?"
Gu Beichen finished speaking, and as soon as An Ruowan came back to her senses, Gu Beichen picked her up. Qingfeng led the horse aside, and the two of them got on the horse and walked forward.
When the two people's backs gradually faded away, Ping Ning seemed to have just come back to his senses.
Glancing at the carriage she had occupied early in the morning, she felt disgusted and threw down the carriage curtain angrily.
"Why don't you leave quickly, what are you waiting for!"
Hearing Princess Pingning's urging voice, the carriage driver shook off his whip and the carriage quickly headed towards the palace gate.
When the carriage stopped outside the palace gate, just as Pingning was about to enter the palace, he was stopped by the guards outside the door.
"Where's the invitation?"
Princess Pingning didn't expect that these guards didn't even recognize her, and she became even more angry.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am!"
The guard looked calm, "Of course I know who you are, but today is of great importance. No one will be allowed in without an invitation."
