Chapter 158: Soar Like an Eagle
Four senior palace maids of the Yu generation lined up and stood at the door of the ear room.
The former Princess of England, Zhu, was the first to kneel down on the ground, leaning on a crutch.
"Your Highness, please make a decision for my poor granddaughter!"
"Oh? First, tell me, what injustice did your granddaughter suffer?"
Zhu was kneeling on the ground, looking extremely miserable.
Her two daughters-in-law were crying beside her.
Concubine Liang sat calmly and steadily, without getting up or shouting.
The old woman saw that the woman above her ignored her and she no longer had the thought of taking advantage of her age.
He leaned on his daughters-in-law, not caring at all about their frail bodies.
And they tried their best to support her shaking body.
"Your Highness, although the Prince of England no longer has any title, I am still your elder. According to seniority, you must call me aunt."
Concubine Liang sneered and turned the heat pack on the other side to continue warming her hands.
"Aunt? Have you forgotten how the King of England's palace was ransacked? How did your two good sons die? Even the King of England was beheaded in public, and you're still trying to act like you're related!"
Zhu was startled and suddenly thought of something, looking over with a smug look on her face.
"It would be fine if Her Majesty doesn't recognize us poor relatives, but Ruyu is Prince Rong's cousin!"
"Last night, Prince Rong asked for my Ruyu. Even though we no longer have the status of the Prince of Ying's Palace, even if he is a prince, he can't deny his identity, right?
We saw it with our own eyes over the past few mornings, and we can’t deny it.”
"If the Queen can't give Ruyu an explanation, the women of the Ying Palace will have no way to survive. The whole family will have to die, and let the people see how the royal family bullies an innocent girl and is irresponsible!"
"So what do you want when you come here today?"
Concubine Liang half believed what Zhu said, seeing the look on her son's face when he returned that morning.
Something must have happened.
But whether he really took An Ruyu's body or not, Prince Rong would have to come back and ask him to find out.
This old woman is dreaming if she wants to use this kind of thing to threaten her!
"What's the big deal? When Prince Rong comes back, I will ask him the truth." Concubine Liang emphasized the "truth", but Zhu didn't feel guilty at all.
Could it be that Prince Rong really broke An Ruyu's virginity last night?
"It's just a princess, my son can still tolerate it."
When the old woman and several other women on the ground heard this, they all stood up immediately.
"Princess? Impossible! Our Ruyu has been carefully nurtured since she was little, and is extremely beautiful. She used to be a princess! How could she possibly be a princess?"
Even if I can't be the principal wife, I must be a concubine!"
"Concubine? You're so arrogant! Don't even think about it! If you don't want to, then take me back. Life or death, I will not be threatened by you."
In the room, An Ruyu heard Concubine Liang's direct refusal, and ran out crying and knelt at her feet.
"My Lady, I followed His Royal Highness Prince Rong with my pure heart. I have no regrets, for I have loved His Royal Highness since I was little, and I will not marry anyone but him in this life!"
I am willing to be a princess, as long as I can serve the prince."
Jiang Yue was sitting in the ear room, feeling somewhat disappointed when she heard this.
An Ruyu is a princess after all, a noble lady who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
But her mind is so deep that in order to achieve her own goals, she is willing to lose her virginity to a man before marriage.
She had to admit that she was good at judging people.
She certainly doesn't have as keen an eye as her other sisters.
Apart from Yao Chi, An Ruyu's appearance is really engraved in her heart.
did not expect.
In the end, the front hall's final decision was to wait for Prince Rong to return tomorrow.
After the crowd dispersed, Yao Chi went to her mother to confide in her heart.
Jiang Yue took Xiao Zhu and walked slowly along the corridor to see the scenery.
"Miss, was Miss An really... done to by His Royal Highness Prince Rong?" The little girl stared with curious eyes, looked around to see that there was no one, and whispered with her hand covering her mouth.
If anyone heard her discussing the prince's private affairs in private, she would be punished.
Jiang Yue also looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she asked Xiao Zhu to block it for her.
He took out two cups of hot chocolate milk tea from the space and handed one to Xiaozhu.
I took a sip of satisfaction, ah~
So warm!
"I think it's probably true. Didn't you see that my aunt didn't directly refute it?"
"Besides, the nanny has already examined Miss An and she is definitely not a virgin. The imperial physician also said it happened last night."
The little maid continued to cover her mouth, "Ah~~ But... didn't His Royal Highness Prince Rong say that he liked you? How could this be?"
Jiang Yue recalled the scene when Prince Rong confessed his love to her and shook her head.
"Who knows? Anyway, I don't have any romantic feelings for him, and who he marries in the future has nothing to do with me.
But Yao Chi is very angry today, and Auntie is probably going to have a headache."
"So, miss, what kind do you like?"
The little maid looked at her secretly and gave her a playful smile.
"If there hadn't been a natural disaster, the young lady would have been married by now."
"Is that what His Royal Highness Shou Wang said?"
Jiang Yue's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she turned around and glared at the little girl who was becoming more and more naughty.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Prince Shou and I are not what you think."
Xiao Zhu shook the milk tea cup in her hand, "Oh? Really? But I think His Royal Highness Prince Shou likes you very much, young lady!"
"You little girl, I told you to stop talking nonsense! Come here! Don't run!"
The two of them ran away, holding the cups and playing with each other.
"Your Highness, Xiao Zhu mentioned you just now, and I saw that the princess blushed."
Lu Bai's tone was filled with unconcealed excitement; he was so happy for his master.
The master has liked the princess for many years, but has never been honest with himself.
It’s all because the master’s health is not good and he doesn’t want to delay the princess.
It’s different now. The master is getting better day by day under the care of the princess.
She is no different from an ordinary person. The master must really want to tell the princess about his feelings for her.
"Lu Bai!" There was a gleam in the man's eyes, which were filled with hidden joy.
Is she finally feeling differently about herself?
"Master, why haven't you expressed your feelings to the princess?"
Prince Shou lowered his head and looked at his still slightly thin body.
He was wearing a down jacket that Jiang Yue had specially given him.
Although it is thin, it is very warm. According to Jiang Yue, it is made of duck and goose down.
Jinyifang collected all the duck down and goose down and made two sets for each member of the royal family.
The only two sets he had were given to him by Jiang Yue personally.
"Before, I was worried that my body couldn't provide her with a future, and then I was worried that she would see me as a brother."
Lu Bai clapped his hands and looked around excitedly, "It seems that the princess doesn't treat you as a brother today. Master, you still have a good chance!"
Prince Shou stroked the Eagle hot water bag in his arms.
Thinking of what Jiang Yue said when she gave this to him.
'You must soar between heaven and earth like an eagle'.
The smile on his face grew wider and wider, and he looked up at the setting sun.
very nice.
