"Mother Lin, you just said that Miss Lian is not married?" Mu Ning frowned, "Isn't she the prince's concubine?"

"No! Miss Lian is not the prince's concubine!" Aunt Lin replied respectfully, "Mrs. Wu is kind to the prince. After the prince established his palace, he took Mrs. Wu here!"

When Mu Ning heard this, her eyes showed deep thought.

Listening to the meaning of Nanny Lin's words, Rong Chu let Mrs. Wu live in the palace in order to repay her kindness. Miss Lian was Mrs. Wu's daughter, so she naturally followed her.

"Since Your Majesty cares so much about Miss Lian, why don't you just marry her?" Mu Ning was very puzzled and depressed. If Rong Chu and Bai Lianhua had seen each other, wouldn't she have to suffer this crime?

Mu Ning had already noticed that Bai Lian must have different thoughts about Rong Chu. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten sick last night and had Rong Chu sent away.

This behavior was clearly intended to test how much Rong Chu valued her, and also to embarrass himself as the new princess.

However, Mu Ning thought to herself that Bai Lianhua had planned the wrong person, and she didn't love Rong Chu. Rong Chu would like whoever he liked, and she wouldn't care!

"Master, please don't dare to talk nonsense!" Nanny Lin glanced at Mu Ning, her eyes darkened, as if she disagreed with her words.

In Nanny Lin’s heart, her prince is a wise and mighty man, and he is an upright man. There are so many women in the world who want to marry him, but why does this new princess seem to have suffered a big loss?!

Really ignorant!

The little affection that Nanny Lin had for the new princess was washed away by Mu Ning's complaint against Rong Chu.

Mu Ning noticed that Nanny Lin's attitude toward her had deteriorated, but she didn't take it seriously.

Presumably, this Aunt Lin also respects Rong Chu very much. In the eyes of these people, being able to marry Rong Chu is her great honor and luck, and she should kneel down to thank heaven and earth for her kindness!

If she shows dissatisfaction in any way, it is treason and ignorance of good and evil.

Mu Ning felt depressed. These people probably thought that it was Rong Chu who she had tried so hard to get!

Little did they know that on the contrary, it was Rong Daxie who forced her into a sedan chair and worshiped her!

Mu Ning held her chin up, thinking to herself.

Nanny Lin stood aside with her hands down, silent.

When Yun Qi, who had changed her name to Bai Lu, heard Mu Ning ask about Bai Lian, her eyes moved as if she had something to say, but in the end she pursed her lips.

Inside Chenjing Pavilion, it was quiet for a while, except for the birds chirping from time to time on the trees outside the courtyard.

While I was deep in thought, there was a sudden noise outside the house, and it seemed like someone was coming again.

"Princess, Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu are here!" Yun Lan stood outside the door and reported respectfully.

"Who are they?" Mu Ning raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Bai Lu.

"Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu are both aunts in the palace." Bai Lu said softly.

"Concubine?" When Mu Ning heard this, her face remained calm, but her brows slowly wrinkled.

There was also a layer of disgust in Qingli's eyes - disgust for Rong Chu!

Mu Ning originally came from that distant time and space, and she has accepted the concepts of equality between men and women and monogamy since she was a child!

Although she also understood that polygamy was common in ancient China, it would be abnormal for a prince like Rong Chu to have no women in his house.

But for Mu Ning, she couldn't accept serving the same husband with another woman!

What she wants has always been simple happiness and a lifelong commitment to two people!

Obviously, Rong Chu couldn't give her such a promise!

But fortunately, she doesn't love Rong Chu either, so it's none of her business how many women Rong Chu has.

For now, she has to find a way to refuse to sleep with Rong Chu.

Although he didn't do anything to her last night, she couldn't take it lightly just in case!

Being taught by Rong Chu was Mu Ning's bottom line. She didn't want to do that couple's affair with someone she didn't love!

"Princess, if you don't want to see Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu, I will go out and go back to them now." Bai Lu saw Mu Ning frowning and thought she didn't want to see them, so she asked carefully.

"No! Let them in!" Mu Ning lifted her long eyelashes, revealing her calm black pupils, and said calmly.

Although Mu Ning hates intrigues between women, now that she has become Princess Gong, she has to live in the palace no matter how long she can do it.

Even if she doesn't see these ladies today, under the same roof, there will be many opportunities to meet them in the future.

Mu Ning can't always stay in Chenjing Pavilion and never go out, right?

This doesn't fit her character either!

Bai Lu took the order and went out to summon, but Nanny Lin was still standing behind Mu Ning.

"I've met the princess sister!" When Mrs. Mei and Mrs. Liu came in, they first greeted Mu Ning.

One of these two people is wearing a pink skirt and the other is wearing a green skirt. They have good looks.

But the expressions on the two people's faces were very careless. When they glanced over, they saw that the woman in front of them was indeed as ordinary-looking as the rumors said. One of them had contempt on his lips, and without waiting for Mu Ning to say anything, he found a chair and sat down.

"Have I asked you to sit down?" Mu Ning said quietly without raising her eyelids, looking down at the jade-colored tea cup in her hand.

As soon as Mei Xue sat down, Liu Qing's body was half down. After hearing this, the two of them stood up reluctantly, muttering in their mouths, and squinting with the corners of their eyes.

"Insolent! How can I allow you to be so rude in front of the princess!" Nanny Lin suddenly let out a cold scolding.

Only then did Mei Xue and Liu Qing notice that Nanny Lin was actually in the room. Their faces showed panic. They quickly stood up straight and their expressions became respectful, "I don't dare!"

Mu Ning narrowed her eyes, and while drinking tea, she glanced at Nanny Lin, feeling secretly shocked.

When the two concubines saw Nanny Lin, they were like a mouse seeing a cat, with frightened expressions on their faces.

Moreover, when Nanny Lin scolded Bai Lianhua before, she was rude, and the proud and proud Bai Lianhua did not dare to refute her!

Mu Ning couldn't help but wonder, who is this Nanny Lin?

At this time, Mei Xue and Liu Qing were also secretly complaining. They came here early this morning just to see what the legendary new princess looked like.

Naturally, the two of them had heard about the deeds of the third young lady of the Feng family. Like everyone else, they felt that the reason why the prince would marry Feng Jingluan must be because of Feng Jingluan’s tricks!

Today, the two of them also plan to give the new princess a show of strength - isn't she a fool? She will easily believe what they say!

By the way, they also told the new princess some things in the palace that were not obvious to outsiders.

As long as the new princess believes in them, they will not be allowed to walk sideways in the backyard of the palace from now on!

But Mei Xue and Liu Qing did not expect that Nanny Lin was actually here.

You know, this Nanny Lin is the chief steward in the palace's backyard, and she is also a female official from the palace. She has an official position and is not something concubines like them can afford to offend!

The prince actually gave Nanny Lin to the new princess!

Mei Xue and Liu Qing's hearts were pounding for a moment, and they felt regret for their bold overstep just now.

If Aunt Lin complains to the prince, then the prince will hate them even more, and then it will be in vain to gain advantage for Qin Xin and the others!

"Sister Princess, my sister has given me a gift!" Mei Xue and Liu Qing knelt down.

Mu Ning raised her eyebrows when she saw Mei Xue and Liu Qing suddenly giving her such a gift.

Although it is indeed the etiquette for a concubine to kneel down and bow when meeting the princess, the two people's behavior of being arrogant at first and respectful at the end made Mu Ning understand a little bit about their character.

I'm afraid these two people are not good friends!

"Well, get up!" Mu Ning said after a long while.

Mei Xue and Liu Qing knelt until their legs became stiff, but they did not dare to act presumptuously in front of Nanny Lin. After they stood up, they did not dare to stay any longer. They said goodbye in a hurry and left.

"Nanny Lin, go and do your thing!" Mu Ning also saw that it was inconvenient to ask a lot of questions since Nanny Lin was here, so she found an excuse to send Nanny Lin out.

Nanny Lin was still a little worried. The prince asked her to guard the new princess. If those women in the backyard came to bully the new princess while she was away, wouldn't she have failed the prince?

But Nanny Lin had to obey the princess's order. Before she left, she winked at Bai Lu and told her to be smart and call her if anything happened!

However, soon after, Grandma Lin understood that she was really worrying too much!

She is actually worried that the new princess will be bullied?

To borrow a catchphrase from the princess - I'll choke you! It's a good thing if she doesn't bully others!

Mu Ning expected it to be true. As soon as Nanny Lin left, Liu Qing and Mei Xue came back immediately.

"Sister Princess, there are many women in the backyard of this palace. You can't trust them easily, especially that Qin Xin..." The two people chattered, trying their best to belittle the woman named Qin Xin.

Mu Ning thought that these two people would tell her some secrets, but she didn't expect that they would all speak ill of the woman in the backyard.

"Okay!" Mu Ning was a little impatient. She didn't like intrigues between women.

In her opinion, it is too undignified for so many women to circle around one man all day long just for the man to look at her one more time!

"Sister Princess!" Mei Xue and Liu Qing were startled by the coldness in Mu Ning's voice, as if it was only then that they discovered that the girl in front of them had a pair of eyes as deep and cold as an ancient well.

When she looked at them, they felt as if cold air was rising from the soles of their feet, making people shiver with hair on their backs.

"I don't have that many sisters!" Mu Ning looked coldly at Mei Xue and Liu Qing. They were obviously older than her and kept calling them sisters, which made her feel very awkward. Moreover, Mu Ning didn't intend to be friends with them!

Looking away, Mu Ning asked in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, how is your relationship with Miss Lian?"

"Replying to the princess, Miss Lian is such a noble person, but she doesn't look down on our sisters!" Mei Xue curled her lips and said with great disdain.

She also saw that the new princess was not as stupid as the rumors. Just looking at her clear eyes, she knew that this new princess was probably smarter than anyone else.

Perhaps, the prince's marriage to her was not due to Feng Jingluan's trickery as rumored in the streets. Otherwise, how could the prince drag the new princess's hand for a walk in the palace so early in the morning?
