Chapter 747 Exposed (2)

Shen Miao followed Princess Rong Xin's words, but she felt something strange in her heart. Princess Rong Xin was not such a trivial person. Even when she chatted, it was always insightful and interesting. She would not specifically bring up her own affairs with her. But Shen Miao did not understand the meaning of her words.

She had originally thought that Princess Rongxin was going to ask about Xie Jingxing today, but unexpectedly, Princess Rongxin didn't mention it at all, and didn't seem to intend to mention it. Instead, she changed the subject and mentioned Emperor Wenhui's words a few days ago suppressing Shen Miao's marriage.

"My royal brother had been stubborn before, seemingly wanting you to be his daughter-in-law, even though I also felt it was inappropriate. But after you left that day, I personally pleaded with my royal brother, hoping he would give up the idea, but he refused. Later, thanks to Prince Rui, it was finally possible." She looked at Shen Miao and smiled, "I think General Shen has already inquired about the reason and told you."

Shen Miao nodded, secretly alert in her heart.

"Although this may be a bit outrageous, I don't really want Daliang to have any ambitions towards Mingqi. But I must thank Prince Rui. If it weren't for his words, my brother wouldn't have changed his mind. I'm afraid your marriage wouldn't be suppressed like it is now."

Shen Miao remained silent, thinking that any more words at this moment would only make more mistakes. Unexpectedly, Princess Rong Xin suddenly took her hand and said with a smile, "I had noticed that you had a close relationship with the King of Daliang Rui. After all, I am much older than you and have experienced more than you have, so the same applies to people. The King of Rui has a special status, and I thought that since you are young, you would inevitably be deceived. I didn't expect him to be a man of loyalty. This time, I spoke at this juncture, and I think it would be a bit forced to say that I did it on purpose."

Princess Rongxin had not had such an attitude towards Prince Rui before. The difference between the two was so huge that Shen Miao became more cautious, but her face did not show any panic. She just smiled and replied: "Prince Rui is a dragon among men, and I am just a floating grass. Of course, they cannot be compared. I am not so arrogant as to think that Prince Rui will speak for me." This was a polite denial of her close relationship with Prince Rui.

"I know you're shy." Princess Rongxin was being particularly persistent and strange today. She said, "I won't tell anyone."

Shen Miao wanted to speak again, but Princess Rong Xin turned around and talked about something else.

Princess Rong Xin was particularly excited today. She pulled Shen Miao aside and talked about this and that for a long time, just like when she mentioned Prince Rui just now. Shen Miao thought Princess Rong Xin would continue to ask more questions, but Princess Rong Xin turned around and asked if Luo Xueyan had found any suitable young talents for Shen Miao recently.

From noon onwards, they chatted about this and that until night fell. Princess Rong Xin had no intention of ending the conversation and sending Shen Miao back home. Shen Miao was also a little confused about what Princess Rong Xin meant.

Jingzhe and Guyu actually wanted Shen Miao to return earlier, to avoid the dark and difficult road conditions where the carriage would be slippery and difficult to see. However, this was the Princess's residence, and the Princess and Shen Miao were silent, so there was no place for two servants like them to talk.

When the last pot of tea was finished, Princess Rongxin stood up. Jingzhe Guyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Princess Rongxin was in such a good mood today. It was finally time to go back to the Shen residence. Who knew that Princess Rongxin would affectionately hold Shen Miao's hand again and said with a smile: "Accompany me to walk around the courtyard."

Jingzhe and Guyu opened their mouths wide. This was the princess's residence. Princess Rongxin had lived here for so many years, and she'd wander around her own courtyard every day. Shen Miao was a guest, but why was she asking someone to wander around the courtyard? Furthermore, it was pitch dark, and it was freezing outside. Why was she supposed to wander around the courtyard? Were all princesses in the royal family quirky like this?
