The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

"Where is this?"

A weak voice came from the bed. Wanzhu, who was pouring water, turned back in surprise and asked, "Are you awake?"

She put the porcelain cup on the bedside and reached out to support her, "Hey, don't be in a hurry to get up, go slowly."

"You are--" The girl looked at her blankly. She didn't know if it was because she had just woken up, but she seemed a little dazed.

Wan Zhu smiled friendly, "Do you remember who saved you?"

The girl pressed her forehead and recalled, "She was a very beautiful lady..."

"That's my princess. I'm her maid. My name is Wanzhu. What's your name?"

The girl paused for a moment before whispering, "Wan Niang."

"Wan Niang? Which night?" Wan Zhu asked as she hung up the bed curtains. Bright sunlight suddenly shone in, making her face look even paler.

Wan Niang leaned against the cushion and said weakly, "Late in late spring."

"You are Wan and I am Wan, so we are destined to be together." Wanzhu picked up the porcelain cup and handed it to her, "Drink some water. Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl of porridge."

As soon as she finished speaking, Stepmother's stomach growled.

When their eyes met, Wan Zhu couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I get it."

Two blushes appeared on Stepmother's cheeks, and she said shyly, "Thank you, Miss Wanzhu."

Wanzhu hurried out to call the maid. Wanniang's eyes moved slightly and she quickly glanced at the room.

The wing room was clean and spacious, and the furniture used was of the best quality; even the porcelain cups for holding water were of great value.

She narrowed her eyes.

Soon the maid brought in a bowl of light vegetable porridge, and Wanzhu fed it to Stepmother one spoonful at a time.

After drinking the hot porridge, which soothed her empty stomach, Stepmother's complexion looked noticeably better.

Wanzhu watched her wipe her lips with a handkerchief and asked curiously, "Where are you from? Why did you faint on the side of the road?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. As soon as she asked, Wanniang paused and tears began to roll down her face like beads from a broken string.

Wan Zhu was startled and quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Did I ask something I shouldn't have asked? Don't cry, don't cry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

Wan Niang held her hand, sobbing and shaking her head, "Don't blame you, it's not your fault, I'm just sad."

She choked up again as she spoke. She kept crying silently at first, but then she couldn't hold it back and burst into tears.

Wanzhu panicked and didn't know what to do, so he simply hugged the person in his arms and patted her back gently.

"If you really feel bad, just cry. It's not good to hold it in your heart."

After hearing what she said, Wanniang cried even harder, which made people feel heartbroken.

Wanzhu couldn't help but tear up. After a full cup of tea, she cried and vented her feelings. Then, Wanniang's emotions gradually stabilized. She stepped out of Wanzhu's arms and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Wan Zhu sighed, "Everyone has difficult times. Although I don't know what happened, I can understand."

Wanniang took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "I am originally from Lucheng. There was a flood this spring, and the mountain collapsed. My father, mother, brother and sister were all drowned... I escaped the disaster because I went to the city to do some shopping, but although I saved my life, I lost my family."

"Ah?" Wan Zhu was shocked and didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

In the face of life and death, words are too light.

"I came to Yundu this time to seek refuge with my sister and brother-in-law whom I hadn't seen for many years. I ran into bandits on the way and almost died on the road. I barely managed to escape, but all my silver and food were gone. I had been traveling for days and finally I was exhausted and fainted on the side of the road. At that time I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to meet the princess."

Wanniang became excited again and held Wanzhu's hand and asked, "Where is the princess now? Can you take me to see her? I want to thank the princess in person!"

"Don't worry. The princess and the young master have gone to the palace to meet the emperor. We don't know when they will be back. Before they leave, they asked us to take good care of you, so don't think too much and have a good rest. The doctor said you have an old injury and prescribed some medicine for you. Drink it while it's hot."

Wan Zhu said with concern: "No matter what, it's all in the past. Nothing is more important than your own body."

When the medicine was ready, Wan Zhu fed her to drink it. After a while, the effect of the medicine took effect and she fell into a deep sleep again.

He tucked the quilt in for her and watched over her for a while before leaving. When the door was closed, the person who had been sleeping soundly slowly opened her eyes, stared at the wall and cried, mumbling something silently, but no one knew.

Rong Heqing and Rong Qiao got off the car at the palace gate, changed to sedan chairs, and were carried all the way into the harem.

The towering red walls surrounded the majestic palace, like a gorgeous and exquisite cage. The people in the cage were dressed in bright clothes and had solemn faces, but they were completely lifeless.

Rong Heqing was inevitably affected by the situation and felt a little uneasy.

It goes without saying that Rong Qiao is a very arrogant person. He has been like a frost-bitten eggplant since he got on the carriage. Now he wants to bury his head in his little turtle shell.

Finally, the sedan chair landed steadily in front of a high gate.

Rong Heqing got off the sedan chair, and Zheliu immediately stepped forward to hold her hand. The eunuch who led the way smiled and said, "We have arrived at Kunhua Palace, Princess, Master, please——"

Rong Heqing turned her head and looked at Rong Qiao. Rong Qiao was picking her fingers nervously, and walked quickly to her side, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Rong Heqing gave him a soothing look, turned around and walked over the threshold without looking around, talking to the young eunuch as he walked.

"Eunuch, this is my first time in the palace. I don't know the rules, and I'm always uneasy. I'm afraid of showing my weakness in front of His Majesty and His Majesty. If I lose my manners in front of the emperor, I will be too ashamed to return to the southern border. I wonder if you can give me some advice? He Qing will be very grateful."

"The princess is really embarrassing me!" The eunuch saw her smiling face and blushed. He kept bowing and said, "The princess is so knowledgeable, gentle and kind. His Majesty and the Queen will not embarrass the princess. His Majesty is very happy to hear that the princess and the young master have arrived. When they go in, the princess will answer whatever His Majesty asks."

The young eunuch looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty hates people who are smart. Princess, just remember this."

Rong Heqing seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the young eunuch's pocket when no one was paying attention. He said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice, eunuch."

The young eunuch did not refuse. He weighed the item, quietly put it away, and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"If you have any questions when you come to the palace, you can ask me. My name is Jixiang."

"Okay, I feel relieved with Eunuch Ji's words." Rong Heqing smiled sweetly, which made Jixiang's ears slightly red.

Rong Qiao watched coldly from behind and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

Another fool who is blinded by his appearance!

When they arrived at the main hall entrance, Jixiang went in to report. Rong Heqing and Rong Qiao were waiting outside. Taking this opportunity, Rong Heqing whispered a few words to Rong Qiao, telling him to shut up when he didn't know what to say, and she would handle it.

Rong Qiao agreed honestly.

Soon, Jixiang came out hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, please let the princess and the young master in."

The moment has finally arrived. No matter how nervous I am, I have to go ahead.

Rong Heqing took a deep breath, straightened her back, lifted her skirt and slowly walked inside.
