Chapter 217
"This old servant has heard it's true." Seeing her mistress looking at Rong Rong with longing eyes, the old nanny, who had remained silent until now, finally decided to lend her a hand.
The Crown Princess nodded, looking at Rong Rong with expectant eyes. Rong Rong hesitated and gently blew a breath onto the Crown Princess's hand.
Rong Rong knows perfectly well that blowing on things won't work. Is the world different?
"It's really better!" The Crown Princess's eyes shone, and her voice was cheerful, but she still held her hand up in front of Rong Rong, clearly indicating that it wasn't enough.
"Hmm?" Rong Rong looked puzzled but still obediently blew on it again. The Crown Princess looked at Rong Rong gently, her joy barely concealed.
Apart from the old nanny, no one had ever seen the Crown Princess like this. In people's minds, the Crown Princess was dignified and intimidating, and had remarkable abilities. In front of her, everyone was trembling with fear, afraid of making a mistake.
The maidservant beside Rongrong, upon hearing the old nanny's words and learning that the Crown Princess had arrived, immediately thought she was going to die.
But the Crown Princess didn't react at all; instead, she treated Miss Rong with extreme gentleness.
Miss Rong must be very beautiful, right? The maid sighed again, while deeply regretting that she was blind and could not see Miss Rong.
The maids couldn't see it, but the maids and servants around the Crown Princess could see it clearly.
They quickly accepted the Crown Princess's dramatic change; such a fairy-like figure deserved to be treated with gentleness.
At this moment, the Crown Princess also believed what Chen Qinxue said, that the Crown Prince wanted to leave the Empress position to Rong Rong, and she also understood why the Crown Prince hid her and dared not bring her back to the mansion.
The current Crown Prince cannot protect Rong Rong, and he must also be wary of the Li family.
The Crown Princess gazed intently at Rong Rong, who was happily sipping her fruit tea. She would not allow the Crown Prince to harm the beauty.
Rong Rong didn't know how things had happened. In any case, she was sitting in a carriage with a maid beside her. The carriage was loaded with gold, silver, and treasures, as well as several days' worth of food. She was being escorted by several guards as the carriage sped along the official road.
It was the Crown Princess who arranged the carriage for her, so that she could leave the capital far away.
Rong Rong thought that this was for the best. After all, her only task was to live well. If she couldn't stay in the capital, so be it. She should stay away from trouble. It was just a pity about the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion. She didn't have time to say goodbye.
The wheels rolled on, but Rong Rong inside the car felt no bumps at all.
Just when she thought everything was settled, the carriage suddenly braked and came to a steady stop.
"Miss, there are people ahead!" The coachman's solemn voice rang out. The surroundings were extremely quiet, but Rong Rong felt somewhat oppressed.
Frustrated and annoyed, she threw down the book in her hand and got off the bus.
Then, she returned to the capital the same way she had left, only changing the carriage, the driver and the guards, and adding a nanny and a maid in front of her.
The old woman and the young girl remained silent, saying nothing more than that their master had invited them at the beginning.
The older nanny was much more composed. She kept her eyes closed the whole time after getting into the carriage, but the young maid kept glancing at her. She thought she was being discreet, but little did she know that Rong Rong had already noticed.
When the maidservant peeked at Rong Rong again, Rong Rong deliberately turned her head to meet her gaze. The maidservant was startled and quickly sat up straight.
Hmph, Rong Rong turned to the side, lifted the curtain, and looked out the window, preferring to ignore it.
A gentle breeze playfully tousled Rongrong's hair as it drifted through the window, causing it to dance in the air.
Sunlight flooded in, shining on Rong Rong's face and making her skin appear translucent, delicate, and tender, as if a light touch would leave a red mark.
Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, playful and lively.
Unbeknownst to Rong Rong, the little maidservant was secretly glancing at her again, her eyes wide and mouth agape. Even the old nanny had opened her eyes at some point.
Her calm gaze fell on Rong Rong's face. The old nanny, who had seen countless people and experienced many storms, had not been so shocked and amazed in a long time.
She is truly a beautiful woman, so exquisite that one could never imagine it without seeing it with one's own eyes.
No wonder so many people are crazy about her.
The carriage remained quiet throughout.
When there were more people outside, the old nanny reminded Rongrong to lower the carriage curtain.
Rong Rong had some dissatisfaction in her eyes. She knew she should let go, but being controlled and unable to see the scenery, only facing a depressing environment, made her very annoyed.
Just when Rongrong thought the old nanny would force her, the old nanny simply handed her a veil and then closed her eyes again.
Rong Rong raised her eyes in surprise, not expecting the stern old nanny to be so easy to talk to.
My mood instantly brightened, and I put on my veil to continue enjoying the scenery.
They passed through the city gate, walked through the bustling streets, and passed by the mansions where high-ranking officials and nobles gathered. Rong Rong even saw the gate of the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion.
They didn't stop, they continued forward. When the surroundings became sparsely populated and heavily guarded, with several guards standing by at intervals, Rong Rong knew where they were going.
After passing through the palace gate, Rongrong got off the carriage. The old nanny and the young maid led the way, while Rongrong walked quietly behind.
The group moved through the palace.
Yes, they arrived at the palace.
"Granny Fu'an, what will the master do to Miss Rong?" the little maid asked in a low voice, her face full of worry.
Now we should call her a palace maid. Yunxiang had only been in the palace for a short time. She was a junior member of Granny Fu'an's family and became Granny Fu'an's apprentice after entering the palace.
It was this relationship that fostered her naiveté, allowing her to so openly discuss her master.
“If you continue to disobey the rules, then you should leave the palace and go home. I’m afraid that if you die in the palace one day, you will implicate me.”
Granny Fu'an's expression remained unchanged, and her voice was indifferent, yet Yunxiang inexplicably felt a chill, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Please forgive me, Granny, I will never dare to do it again!"
Yunxiang broke out in a cold sweat. In fact, her nanny had taught her these things long ago, and she had always kept them in mind. However, when she saw the fairy today, she was anxious for her and made a mistake.
Fortunately, Granny Fu'an only gave her a hint and did not intend to punish her in the true sense.
Yunxiang wiped away her cold sweat, dared not say another word, and silently followed beside Granny Fu'an.
Just when she thought the matter was over and was still worried about Rongrong, Granny Fu'an suddenly said, "The master likes beauties the most."
Um?
Yunxiang's eyes widened, and then she grinned silently.
Rong Rong, who was behind the two, did not hear what they were saying. She was focused on walking her own path and had no interest in the palace whatsoever.
This composed demeanor caught the eye of Granny Fu'an, who was surprised to find Rong Rong to be dignified and composed, and a hint of appreciation appeared in her eyes.
At this moment, Granny Fu'an seemed to have forgotten that Rong Rong's performance was merely the most basic requirement for everyone entering the palace.
Fu'an, who was always strict and intolerant of flaws and was the nightmare of countless palace maids, was surprisingly tolerant and generous to Rong Rong.
