Jingrou hesitated for a moment.
Because she suddenly thought, what if she told Yinreng about this? Since he said he could help her, what could she possibly do about it?
Jingrou believed in Yinreng's desire to help her, as well as the advantages his identity brought and his abilities.
After all, Yinreng's status was much more suitable than her own, and she didn't have to worry about how to tell the Emperor!
Yinreng certainly had more opportunities to meet the Emperor, and since he was the Crown Prince, it was understandable that he would get involved in such matters, even though he was still young.
Jingrou suddenly felt it was feasible.
Seeing Jingrou's hesitant expression, Yinreng chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Have you thought of something and need my help? I'll definitely do my best to help you... You know, we don't really need to be so polite between us." Yinreng hoped she wouldn't feel awkward.
Just then, the sound of people around Jingrou searching for her suddenly came from behind.
She had two maids with her: Jinse, whom Consort Yi had given to her, and Green Ivy, who had always been by her side.
Jinse was more composed and very familiar with the rules of the palace. She initially thought the county princess was acting mysteriously, and wondered what the young girls were whispering about together…
She found this very strange. In the past, the county princess would never hide anything from her maids, but today was different. Moreover, the other princesses had also sent away all their maids.
Jinse was afraid of making a mistake. She originally wanted to report this matter to Consort Yi, but then she thought that she had already been given to the county princess by Consort Yi. A servant cannot serve two masters. If the county princess found out about this matter, she would probably not be able to trust her in the future.
Although the county princess was still young, Jinse never dared to underestimate her.
After much deliberation, she finally suppressed the matter and did not report it to her superiors.
Instead, she was always mindful of Jingrou's safety, fearing that something might happen to her. So when she didn't see her mistress this time, she led people to look for her.
Hearing someone calling her from behind, Jingrou knew that she couldn't finish telling Yinreng about this matter. In her anxiety, she tugged at Yinreng's sleeve, "I'll talk to you again tomorrow when I have time. I might really need your help..."
After hurriedly finishing her words, Jingrou turned and went to find her two maids.
Jingrou knew she couldn't hide it from the maids, so she couldn't stay too long. Who knew Jing Jinse would be so perceptive and come looking for her?
"Okay... slow down."
Jingrou has been growing quite fast lately, perhaps because she has to go to the palace every day, and some of the extra weight she had originally gained has also disappeared.
The thing that makes Jingrou happiest now is that she can grow taller. Although she can't grow as fast as her cousins, there is a tree in Hesheli's courtyard with several marks carved on it. Those are all evidence of Jingrou's growth!
Her figure has become healthier, and she still has the baby fat of a child, making her even more adorable.
However, Prince An was very distressed by the little bit of weight she had lost, and every night he would clamor for her to eat more nourishing food. Jingrou's meals have been getting better and better these past few days.
Yinreng watched her leave, not knowing what she needed his help with, but he would be happy as long as he could help her.
Besides the urgency of the situation, Jingrou didn't tell Yinreng directly because she hadn't yet decided whether or not to involve him in the matter.
The benefits are obvious: it can make the matter proceed more quickly, and if someone of Yinreng's status brings it up, the emperor is more likely to pay attention to it.
Moreover, Jingrou also realized that Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang valued Yinreng, her own great-grandson, the most.
Of course, there are downsides... Although Yinreng is the crown prince, if he does something like this, it will attract the attention of some people, and Jingrou is a little worried about his safety.
Let's go back and think about it again...
In addition, we need to find more evidence to see what really happened and whether those nannies were truly lawless and able to control the princess's entire life.
The thought of a princess being bullied by those old women made Jingrou feel extremely uncomfortable.
******
As soon as Jingrou returned to the mansion and finished her dinner, she unusually declined her maternal grandmother's invitation to take a walk in the garden, and instead went straight into her maternal grandfather's study.
Prince An has two studies. One is in the front courtyard, which is mostly used to receive his advisors or foreign officials. He doesn't usually let just anyone in. Even though Jingrou is quite favored, she never goes into that study.
Who knows who's inside? Jingrou is very protective of her life and doesn't want to know anything she shouldn't. She doesn't meddle in other people's business!
Another place was in the backyard. Because Prince An and Empress Hesheli had a very good relationship, there was another study in the backyard. Unless there was something particularly important, Prince An usually worked in this study.
Inside, there was an enormous collection of books, filling two entire walls.
The study was furnished more comfortably, with even a soft couch and various tea sets. When they had free time, Empress Hesheli and Prince An would sometimes drink tea here. Although they didn't have many such opportunities due to their status, they became very fond memories for the two of them.
Because there was nothing particularly confidential inside, Jingrou sometimes really liked to casually flip through the book.
Although others might not understand it, Jingrou has gradually become able to read traditional Chinese characters since she transmigrated.
However, she still needs a gradual process to convince others and prevent them from suspecting her—because sometimes she gets so bored that she occasionally finds some of her cousin's comic books. Since she lacks entertainment, Jingrou can still enjoy reading these things.
So she wasn't just randomly flipping through books; she was actually looking for something.
Hershey led her to the study and saw her head straight for the two rows of bookshelves.
Hesheli felt that Jingrou had truly learned something in the study, which was why she was so enthusiastic about reading. She couldn't help but wonder if Jingrou really liked reading.
If that's the case, perhaps I should train her more, so she doesn't become so lax... Maybe I could find her two better tutors to give her some extra help, if Jingrou doesn't want to...
If Jingrou knew that her maternal grandmother thought this way, she would probably shake her head fiercely.
No way! She's determined to be a couch potato and doesn't want to strive for anything. It's too tiring to get up and study every day!
