Meanwhile, Ruan Meiying pretended to be shy in front of Hongshi the whole way, so that Hongshi did not notice anything amiss. However, her hatred could not be concealed. Whenever Hongshi could not see her, Ruan Meiying's gaze would immediately turn cold, and her resentment was so intense that she wished she could tear Hongshi apart.
Being stared at intently the whole way, Hongshi was naturally uncomfortable. He felt a chilling wind blowing behind him as he walked, and the feeling grew stronger and stronger, showing no sign of disappearing.
Hongshi felt something was amiss and instinctively shrank his neck, looking around warily.
"Why do I keep feeling like someone is watching me with ill intentions all the way here?"
However, Ruan Meiying was quite secretive. She followed Hongshi quietly, and whenever she met his gaze, she always appeared obedient and gentle.
"How could that be? Your Highness is a chosen one of Heaven. Who would dare to disrespect you? Perhaps Your Highness is just a little tired from the journey. Once you arrive at the manor, Your Highness can rest well."
Hongshi turned around and carefully looked Ruan Meiying up and down, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Oh? Then I'll need you to take care of me so I can get some rest."
Ruan Meiying lowered her head shyly, which stirred up Hongshi's heart.
Ruan Meiying lowered her head and pretended to hurry, but in reality, she repeatedly warned herself that she must not have any problems at this time, otherwise everything would be in vain.
Ruan Meiying gripped the horse tightly, forcing herself not to show any unusual behavior, and asked Hongshi with a gentle smile, "Your Highness, how much longer until we arrive?"
Looking at Ruan Meiying's lovely face, Hongshi couldn't help but smile and replied, "My beauty, just bear with it a little longer. We'll be in the capital soon!"
The playful look in his eyes as he spoke made Ruan Meiying pretend to be shy and lower her head. She gently placed her hand on Hongshi's shoulder and said softly, "Master treats Ying'er so well."
The following day, Hongshi and his party finally returned to the capital after a journey of more than half a month. The journey was long and arduous.
In fact, the Fujin had received a letter from Hongshi a few days ago, saying that he would arrive today. So she got up early this morning, dressed up, and made herself up carefully.
"Madam, the Prince's carriage will be here soon."
Upon hearing from the servant that Hongshi's carriage had arrived, he immediately came out to greet it.
However, Shuzhen knew in her heart that Hongshi had taken another concubine on the way, named Ruan Meiying.
Now she stands respectfully at the gate of the mansion with her servants to greet the Prince. Her face shows nothing, but what she is thinking is anyone's guess. Only she knows the answer.
When the carriage stopped, Hongshi led Linlang and Ruan Meiying out of the carriage. When the Fujin saw that Hongshi turned around and took Ruan Meiying's hand, seemingly very fond of Ruan Meiying, Shuzhen began to have a plan in mind.
However, she did not lose her status as a Fujin (princess). She first went forward to greet the Prince, and then greeted Ruan Meiying warmly, saying that she had gained another younger sister and was very happy to see her.
"Shuzhen greets Your Highness. May Your Highness be blessed. This must be your younger sister. She is so beautiful and lovely. Shuzhen congratulates Your Highness on having such a beautiful woman."
Seeing that Shuzhen wasn't angry, Hongshi felt relieved and took both of their hands, walking together towards the mansion.
