After a while, An Ruowan felt her knees sore. She frowned slightly and said again, "I've met my mother-in-law."
"Do you know why I asked you to come here today?"
Princess Zhen finally spoke, but the words she spoke were filled with a trace of anger.
An Ruowan stood up and nodded slightly to Concubine Zhen, "But what happened in the concubine's courtyard?"
Hearing the knowing words in An Ruowan's words, Princess Zhen suddenly became angry. She placed the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, and then sneered.
"You don't know. If you don't know, then no one will know!"
Hearing this, An Ruowan still had a confused look on her face, "I don't know why my mother and concubine are angry. Please speak up."
"Okay, very good." Princess Zhen was obviously very angry at An Ruowan's words. She raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at the figure in front of her, "You want me to tell you, that's fine, I asked You, did you leave the house today?"
"Yes, today I and General Weiyuan's Mansion..."
An Ruowan had no intention of keeping this matter a secret, so when Princess Zhen mentioned it, An Ruowan responded to the matter.
But before An Ruowan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Princess Zhen's cold snort.
"General Weiyuan's Mansion, this is the excuse again. Don't you really think that I am afraid of General Weiyuan?"
"Of course not, why would the mother-in-law say this?"
Princess Zhen really didn't want to talk nonsense with An Ruowan here, "Do you know your current status? As Princess Rong, how do you behave when you go out to show your face, let alone make such a big fuss? Have you ever Do you take the prince’s face into your heart?”
Listening to Princess Zhen's question, An Ruowan just lowered her eyes quietly and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Princess Zhen felt that the anger in her heart had subsided a little, and she sat down again before looking at the figure in front of her.
"Listen carefully, I will let you go for the time being because you haven't done anything too wrong this time."
An Ruowan felt that Princess Zhen had finally caught her, so how could she let it go so easily.
As expected, Concubine Zhen followed immediately, "But if I just let you go, it will inevitably make people think that I have not managed Prince Rong's palace well, so I will punish you to kneel in the Buddhist hall for three days. How can you do that?" Have any objections?"
"No."
An Ruowan didn't say much this time, she nodded and accepted the matter, then turned around and headed towards the Buddhist hall with Caihuan.
After seeing An Ruowan come to the Buddhist hall, Caihuan knelt down immediately. Caihuan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after seeing the look on An Ruowan's face, she finally said nothing and followed An Ruowan. and knelt down.
It wasn't until night fell that the master and servant felt that time passed so slowly, especially when Caihuan heard the sound in An Ruowan's belly and quickly wanted to get up and go to the kitchen.
But as soon as she stood up on her front foot, An Ruowan stopped her back foot.
"Even if you go there now, I definitely won't be able to give you anything, and maybe you'll have to make things difficult for those in the kitchen."
Although An Ruowan was kneeling here with no other expression on her face, she was thinking about how she could pay back what happened today.
The reason why the second prince can be so arrogant is because the person guarding his honor is Concubine Qiong in the harem.
Nowadays, although An Ruowan has not had much contact with Concubine Qiong, she also understands that someone who can give birth to a prince in the harem and can compete with the queen is by no means an ordinary person.
However, An Ruowan always believed in a truth, that is, as long as a person is a human being, he or she will have weaknesses. As long as you grasp a person's weaknesses, you can naturally make that person obedient.
These three days were just enough time for An Ruowan to think carefully about how to deal with the person behind the second prince.
After another stick of incense, An Ruowan suddenly felt a figure in front of her eyes. After opening her eyes, she stood up.
"Why did the prince think of coming here in the middle of the night?"
Listening to An Ruowan's knowing words, Gu Beichen took out a few pastries wrapped in a handkerchief from his waist and handed them to her.
"If my mother and concubine knew this, she would be furious."
An Ruowan did not pick up the pastries. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth and raised her head to meet Gu Beichen's eyes.
"If you don't tell me about this, and if I don't tell you, how can your mother and concubine know about it?"
Now that Gu Beichen had said so, An Ruowan raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing, but picked up the cake without hesitation and brought it to his mouth. Finally, he felt that his stomach was not so uncomfortable.
Seeing her destroying a piece of pastry in a short time, Gu Beichen's eyes filled with tenderness, and then he raised his hand to wipe away the residue she left at the corner of her mouth.
Feeling the touch from the corner of her mouth, An Ruowan swallowed the cake in her mouth unconsciously. She was too embarrassed to continue eating, so she could only cough twice and lower her eyes.
"Why don't you eat?"
As Gu Beichen spoke, he looked at the thing on his fingertips and subconsciously put it in his mouth.
An Ruowan raised her head when she heard the sound, and what she saw happened to be this scene. She was stunned on the spot, and even her cheeks began to turn red a little bit.
"nothing."
As soon as the words fell, An Ruowan couldn't wait to kneel down again, as if this could completely calm her restless beating heart.
Looking at An Ruowan's appearance in front of him, Gu Beichen unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.
"If you want to go out, I will take you away at any time."
Gu Beichen seemed to see that An Ruowan was not ready to go out for the time being. He paused slightly when leaving, and then disappeared.
After An Ruowan came to his senses, if it weren't for the pastries on the table beside him, An Ruowan would have suspected that everything just happened was a dream.
After twisting the cakes with her hands, An Ruowan did not forget to stuff two pieces into Caihuan's hand, "Cush your stomach, don't faint from hunger here, I can't lift you."
Caihuan looked at the pastry in her hand, and after hearing An Ruowan's words, she could only put the pastry away.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him. An Ruowan lowered his eyes and pretended not to hear it. Soon the man came to An Ruowan and leaned down to salute.
"I've met the princess."
Hearing this, An Ruowan raised her head and said, "But the mother-in-law asked the mother-in-law to come here?"
The person standing in front of her was Nanny Li next to Princess Zhen. Although she was bending down to salute at this moment, there was no trace of respect on her face.
"That's right, the concubine was afraid that the princess would be bored in the Buddhist hall, so she specially asked the old slave to come over and accompany the princess."
"Then there's Grandma Lao."
An Ruowan smiled and agreed to the matter, but she also knew that this was sent by Princess Zhen specially to monitor her.
Soon it was time to eat, and An Ruowan didn't expect that Nanny Li didn't go to eat either. She originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to eat some pastries, but now it seems that she may not be able to do so.
Just when An Ruowan closed her eyes tightly and was still thinking about how to send her grandma away, who would have thought that there was a person striding towards her outside the Buddhist hall.
"The princess is unwell, and I will take her back for treatment. If my mother and concubine ask, I will answer truthfully."
After the words fell, Gu Beichen took An Ruowan and left without looking back.
