"How could she be left unharmed so easily?"
Indeed, Ping Ning should have been prepared to bear the consequences for doing such a thing at a palace banquet. Now that the palace wants to slander him, it is all for the sake of Prince Rong's palace, and he is not willing to do so!
In the afternoon of that day, rumors spread in the capital that Princess Pingning had received the reward from the palace in exchange for her innocence.
"You don't know that at Uncle Guo's wedding, Princess Pingning brought it upon herself and had her innocence stolen from her by a guard."
"I heard that the guards were all silenced, but Princess Pingning has the ability."
"I heard that she even asked the maid to call Prince Rong. Unfortunately, Prince Rong did not fall for her trick."
After the words fell, everyone showed a look of sudden realization. After all, everyone in the capital knew that Princess Pingning was Prince Xin Yuerong. Now that something like this happened, some people would naturally be suspicious.
After being told this, and in addition to the fact that boxes of things were delivered to Prince Rong's Mansion in the morning, if people can't guess what happened, then they are too stupid.
For a time, rumors spread in the capital. Even if Ping Ning stayed in the mansion, she could still know the situation outside, which made her want to arrest all those talkative women!
"Who, exactly who told what happened in the palace that day, Qing'er, go and find out. The reputation of this princess has been ruined by them. I want to make their lives worse than death!"
Seeing Princess Pingning's slightly crazy look, Qing'er swallowed her saliva unconsciously and did not dare to say anything more, so she turned around and retreated.
But soon the rumors spread in the capital also reached the palace. The emperor knew very well that as long as Prince Rong's palace did not want to hear these voices, such words would never spread.
"So, Prince Rong's palace is not willing to take care of this matter."
The emperor's fingertips kept tapping on the table, but after all, there was no room for further development of this matter, but the attitude of Prince Rong's Mansion towards Princess Pingning was already very clear.
"It seems that Ping Ning has reached the marriageable age now, so he should be able to show her love."
When Eunuch Sun heard this, he understood that the emperor had made a decision. After all, there were so many rumors about Princess Pingning in the capital, and at this critical moment, the emperor proposed to show Pingning to her. There must be a deep meaning in it.
"Slave understands."
But in front of the emperor, Eunuch Sun didn't say much, he just leaned over and left.
It didn't take long for everything in the capital to revolve around Princess Pingning. After all, as soon as it was reported that she had lost her innocence, the emperor offered to look after her for her. At this time, how could people not let people know? Talk about it with relish.
"If you ask me, the emperor is also a smart man. Since this has already happened, it would be better to take advantage of the situation and settle Princess Pingning's family instead of continuing to delay."
"No, but I'm just curious as to which young master is so unlucky."
"Come on, Princess Pingning will not marry a prince without honor."
As everyone's joking voices came out, others burst into laughter.
But no one thought that this was what Ping Ning really thought. After she came back from the palace, she walked out of the room and came to Princess Zhen's courtyard for the first time.
"Please cousin, Ping Ning really doesn't want to marry anyone else."
Looking at the figure in front of her, Princess Zhen didn't know what expression to show in her eyes, "I don't have the final say on this kind of thing."
Hearing that Concubine Zhen had relaxed a bit, Ping Ning couldn't wait to tighten her grip on Concubine Zhen's clothes.
"Cousin, you know who I want to marry. Although my broken body is not worthy of entering Prince Rong's palace, even if you are pitying me, even if it is a concubine, Ping Ning will forget it. It’s a matter of concern.”
After the words fell, Princess Zhen's face was indeed full of hesitation. After all, she had mentioned this matter to Gu Beichen before, but Gu Beichen did not agree at all.
Not to mention that now that Ping Ning has lost her innocence, who is willing to marry her?
"Cousin, if you don't agree, Ping Ning will understand."
Ping Ning actually knew that at this time, there was no point in forcing Princess Zhen, so she could only take a step back.
"Then Ping Ning will no longer be able to live in Prince Rong's Mansion with peace of mind from today on. My cousin will be worried. It's not Ping Ning's fault. Ping Ning is here to apologize to her cousin."
After the words fell, Princess Pingning knelt in front of Concubine Zhen. No matter how Concubine Zhen blocked her, she still kowtowed to Concubine Zhen several times respectfully.
Then Pingning ordered Qing'er to take her back.
After leaving Princess Zhen's yard, the expression on Princess Pingning's face became completely different. She couldn't believe that even Princess Zhen didn't want to stand in front of her, but she really didn't expect that kind of thing to happen.
If Gu Beichen really hadn't left that day, things wouldn't have been like this. She was sure that the medicine was indeed useful, but looking at Gu Beichen's appearance when he appeared that day, it didn't look like he had been tricked.
"An Ruowan!"
In an instant, Ping Ning thought clearly about what was going on. Who else in the palace could handle this matter in such a short time besides An Ruowan!
Before Princess Pingning came to her senses, Qing'er tugged at her clothes.
"what you do!"
Princess Pingning's face was full of anger. At this moment, she was putting everything on An Ruowan's head. She turned to look at Qing'er with resentment in her eyes.
"I've met the princess."
Qing'er did not answer her words, but leaned aside and saluted.
At this time, Princess Pingning turned around unwillingly and caught a glimpse of An Ruowan walking slowly from the side, with uncontrollable anger in her eyes.
"Prince Rong, why do you have the time to come here?"
In fact, she had been trying to please Concubine Zhen since she moved into Prince Rong's Mansion, but she had not seen An Ruowan several times in Concubine Zhen's courtyard.
Now that he said this in front of An Ruowan, he just wanted to see An Ruowan's jokes.
Unexpectedly, An Ruowan just sneered and said, "Why, Princess Pingning ran towards the concubine's yard very diligently, but I don't know if the princess's efforts will yield results?"
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Princess Pingning's face suddenly darkened. As a result, she wanted to have results. If this innocent body was given to Gu Beichen, who would be standing here showing off her power now?
It's a pity that everything was just a thought on her part. Princess Pingning now finds it difficult to even straighten her back in front of An Ruowan.
"Qing'er, let's go."
After coming back to her senses, Princess Pingning took a deep breath before preparing to turn around and leave.
Watching her movements, An Ruowan unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, "Princess, it is better to stay in the mansion for a while, so as not to miss her in the future."
Princess Pingning couldn't help but froze for a moment, but she still managed to move forward, but her hands were tightly held.
