Chen Ruzhi felt in his heart that her behavior was childish, and he even said a few words, but for some reason his heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
What they didn't know was that while Chen Ruzhi and Bai Wanrou were bickering, there was someone secretly watching from the side - Yue Yi.
At that time, Yueyi's eyes had completely turned cold, and Xiao Tao beside her felt that the air was condensed.
She looked at the two people who were behaving intimately and even lovingly, and snorted coldly.
"Bai Wanrou, I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it yourself. Don't blame me now."
Yue Yi waved to Xiao Tao beside her, and she didn't know what she said, but her face looked as if she could eat a human being alive.
Bai Wanrou, if you insist on being a stumbling block on my way to becoming a princess, then I will have no choice but to kick you away.
Thinking of this, her eyes became a little more fierce, especially when she looked at Bai Wanrou, as if she wanted to kill her with this look.
Facing such Yueyi, Xiaotao shuddered in her heart. Thinking of the task she had given her, a feeling of fear suddenly arose in her heart.
Since I followed such a bad master, could she use this method to get rid of me one day?
It seems that we still need to think of another way.
Yueyi never expected that she thought she could restrain the hostility of her subordinates, but at this moment, Xiao Tao had more thoughts of leaving.
After finishing the dinner, Bai Wanrou felt that there was a line of sight that seemed to be glued to her body and she couldn't shake it away.
However, when he looked around, no one was there. Chen Ruzhi and Lin Yi were also staying in the room.
She felt something bad in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"I'm staying here tonight, does the princess have any objections?"
Chen Ruzhi looked at Bai Wanrou, and these words brought back her thoughts.
She raised her eyes. Although he was asking for her opinion, he seemed to have already made up his mind.
Bai Wanrou didn't like his casualness and lack of attention to her, so she simply shook her head.
Chen Ruzhi just asked casually, but he never expected that she would actually refuse him.
"What? You don't want me to stay overnight?"
Lu Zhu winked at Bai Wanrou from behind, and Qingtang was also a little worried.
This young lady of mine seems to be ignorant and only does things that are contrary to others.
You must know that the concubines of other families are desperately trying to win favor, but the rightful owner of their family does not fight for it.
If one day Yue Yi is allowed to pretend to be a loophole, she will be reluctant to climb on top of her little master again to dominate.
Finally, when the prince offered to stay here, how could the princess not agree?
Lu Zhu was anxious, she didn't want to see her young lady being bullied by Yueyi.
The same goes for Qingtang. Although she doesn't think that much, everyone knows that winning the prince's heart is the last word.
No matter how loyal he is to the lady, it only happens after he is favored.
However, Bai Wanrou met their eyes and still sat calmly in her original position and shook her head.
"I'm having menstrual trouble. Your Majesty, you'd better go find Little Master Yue."
When Lu Zhu heard this, his eyes widened.
My young lady is too confused to handle things. It would be nice if she didn’t take the initiative to fight for it. Why would she give it to someone else?
And as far as she knew, the lady usually only gets her period in the middle of the month. She had already had her period this month, so why did it happen suddenly now?
Lu Zhu knew that Bai Wanrou was lying to Chen Ruzhi, but he didn't know it himself. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had a legitimate reason.
Seeing the prince's reaction, Lin Yi seemed to notice it from behind, and frowned, but quickly relaxed.
It is better for the prince to be attracted to the princess than for him to always dote on a concubine.
And... he always felt that Yueyi didn't seem to have good ideas in her heart, but instead was full of bad ideas.
However, servants cannot speculate on their master in the first place, not to mention that she is still pregnant with the prince's child.
Whenever he saw the two of them being intimate, Lin Yi could only secretly look away.
"That's all, I'll leave first. Princess, you can have a good rest."
Bai Wanrou nodded.
She thought that after hearing her rejection, Chen Ruzhi would be furious or even ridicule her, but she never expected that he would be so indifferent.
However, what she didn't know was that underneath Chen Ruzhi's calm appearance was a wildly beating heart.
After he walked out of the door, he pressed his heart. What's going on? It's beating so fast today?
Thinking of Bai Wanrou, he shook his head again, feeling like he was in a daze every day.
But he still curled his lips, it seemed that since Bai Wanrou came into the house, the two of them had never had a normal dinner like today.
Except for the time she was forced to go back to the door, this must be the first time.
He felt a little unconcealable happiness in his heart.
However, Chen Ruzhi still hid his emotions. Even Lin Yi could clearly feel that he was obviously happy, but he deliberately pretended to be serious and rigid.
Lin Yi looked at his back and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he could only keep it in his heart.
At this time, there were only three people, Bai Wanrou and his servant, left in the room. Lu Zhu and Qingtang both talked about Bai Wanrou.
"Miss, what are you doing? The prince himself came to the door, why are you pushing him out?"
Qingtang said, even feeling a little scared in her heart. The number of times the prince came to their place for dinner could be counted on one hand.
If they miss the opportunity this time, they might not have a chance in the future when Yue Yi is favored thousands of times.
Seeing Lu Zhu nodding in agreement frequently, Bai Wanrou felt a little warm in her heart.
She knew that her two maids were not scolding her for the sake of glory and wealth, nor for neglecting the relationship between master and servant.
They are very pure and kind at heart, and they only say this because they are worried that she will have a hard time if she is not favored.
Thinking of this, Bai Wanrou looked at them. Although she could be willful when facing Yue Yi and Chen Ru, she had better say something to them.
"This is why you don't understand. For a person like the prince, it is useless to be too impatient. He is suitable for playing hard to get."
Qingtang frowned, playing hard to get? What does this mean?
Seeing the doubts on Qingtang and Luzhu's faces, Bai Wanrou cleared her throat. She seemed to have gone too far.
But yes, the servant's life is not as rich as the little master's. She can listen to lectures or read books in her free time, but they don't have this time.
So Bai Wanrou patiently explained to them the meaning of playing hard to get.
Only then did the two of them show expressions of sudden realization, "It turns out that the young lady already had an idea in mind, I admire her very much!"
"By the way, miss, I heard that there is a lotus pond in the mountains behind the palace. The lotus flowers are in full bloom this season. Why don't we go take a look now?"
Qingtang's information is relatively well-informed. He has found out a lot soon after following Bai Wanrou, so it is not surprising that he knows this.
Bai Wanrou remembered that she had indeed seen a lotus pond when she went to the back mountain before, but there were no lotus flowers in it at that time.
That's fine. They have just had dinner. They can go there to eat and relax. The most important thing is to enjoy the flowers. It kills three birds with one stone. Why not?
"Okay, then let's go there together."
After receiving Bai Wanrou's consent, they were as happy as children.
Everyone knew the way to the back mountain, so when walking, none of the three of them took the lead.
However, Lu Zhu and Qingtang still followed Bai Wanrou subconsciously.
Although the master-servant relationship between the three of them is much better than others, they have already formed a habit of these most basic etiquette.
Bai Wanrou didn't say anything, she just chatted happily with them.
"Wow, miss, there are really lotus flowers, and they seem even more beautiful at night."
Bai Wanrou was already a little surprised when she saw the lotus pond, and she nodded when she heard the people following her say this.
Indeed, if Qingtang hadn't mentioned that she wanted to come over to see the lotus flowers today, she probably wouldn't have known that there was such a beautiful place in the palace.
The lotus flowers at night look particularly charming because of the moonlight and the dark embellishment.
Luzhu and Qingtang were full of praise, but just when they were looking at it happily, a call came from behind them.
It's called Green Bamboo.
She walked over and saw a maid.
When Bai Wanrou was insulted before, they had done work together, and Lu Zhu also met her several times after that.
It's a pity that she didn't know that this maid had already been bribed by Yue Yi, and that she came here just to distract Lu Zhu and Qing Tang so that Bai Wanrou would be left alone.
"Qingtang, there are some things over there that we need to go over there."
"What about Miss?"
Bai Wanrou saw the maid's face clearly through the moonlight and saw that she was someone she had known before. She had no doubts in her heart.
"It's okay. You can go ahead. I can just take a look here by myself."
Qingtang turned back three times while walking away.
For some reason, her eyelids were twitching today, as if something bad was about to happen.
Bai Wanrou did not expect that shortly after they left, a force suddenly came from behind and pushed her towards the lotus pond.
"princess?!"
Lin Feng originally came back to Houshan to get his things back, but he didn't expect that this trip would lead him to meet Bai Wanrou.
Because the night was too dark, he didn't see clearly who was standing there at first.
When he wanted to take the things and leave, he accidentally bumped into someone and pushed a person standing there into the lotus pond.
It was this push that made him see clearly that the person was actually the princess.
Lin Feng's shout was a bit loud, and after hearing it, the boy who was pushing him realized that he might have been discovered, and quickly turned around and ran away.
He didn't have the time to catch the culprit anymore. At the moment, he just wanted to save the person first.
The lotus pond in the palace is a bit deep. A martial arts practitioner standing in it would probably be submerged in the water, let alone a weak woman like Bai Wanrou.
Lin Feng jumped into the lotus pond and swam around but did not see Bai Wanrou.
He suddenly panicked in his heart. It was over. Would the princess just...
Thinking of that possibility, he felt that he might be killed by the prince, and his body in the lotus pond couldn't help but speed up.
At this time, Bai Wanrou was hiding behind a tree watching the farce. This chapter has been completed!
