Unexpectedly, before she could leave, the princess sent her maid Su Jin over.
"Miss Ren Wu, the princess asks you to stay a little longer. She will be back soon. And it's almost noon now. The princess asks you to stay at home for dinner." Su Jin said to Ren Yaoqi with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the sky outside. She had arrived early today and hadn't been sitting in the palace for long. It was still early for lunch.
However, Su Jin's words were just an excuse to keep the guest, so Ren Yaoqi naturally wouldn't argue with her. She was more curious about what the princess wanted to do by keeping her.
It’s not that the princess had never invited her to dine with her, but that was when Xiao Jinglin was still in the Yanbei Palace. She had meals with Xiao Jinglin. After Xiao Jinglin left, she rarely came to the Yanbei Palace. The princess had a lot of things to do every day, so even if she came, she might not be able to see her.
And now he specially invited her to stay for dinner, there must be a purpose.
Ren Yaoqi waited in the side hall of Jiuyang Palace for about a cup of tea before the princess came back from the old princess.
Seeing the princess coming, Ren Yaoqi hurriedly stood up to greet her, but was supported by the princess. The princess smiled kindly and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time? Please take a seat. There is no need to be so polite when there are no outsiders."
Ren Yaoqi first helped the princess to her seat, then sat down and said with a smile: "It wasn't long, Nanny Xin and the sisters have been talking to me the whole time."
"Oh? What are you talking about?" the princess asked with a smile.
Nanny Xin smiled and said, "Miss Ren Wu likes the cat I raise, so I chatted with her for a while."
Then Nanny Xin picked out some interesting things about "Snow White" and told them, which made everyone laugh. Ren Yaoqi secretly observed the princess's expression, but could not see anything, so she could not guess the princess's true intention of keeping her.
After some banter, the princess instructed Nanny Xin, "Take someone to the kitchen and tell them not to send any vegetarian dishes today. Yaoqi will dine at the Nine Suns Palace. Cook the same way we did when Lin'er was home, and make the dishes more refreshing."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but ask, "The princess is a vegetarian?" She had never noticed that the princess was a vegetarian when she had dined with Xiao Jinglin before.
Unexpectedly, Nanny Xin said, "The princess has been a vegetarian for more than ten years. She only orders the kitchen to send meat dishes when the princess stays in Jiuyang Palace for dinner. However, the princess herself only eats vegetarian dishes."
Xiao Jinglin loves to eat. When she is around, there is usually a table full of delicious dishes. Some of them are so good in appearance because the princess demands high quality, it is even difficult to tell whether they are meat or vegetables. Ren Yaoqi has dined with the princess several times and noticed that she eats very little, so he just thinks she has a poor appetite.
Nanny Xin retreated and took all the maids in the palace away, leaving only Su Jin and Qi Luo as attendants.
Ren Yaoqi knew that the princess was going to talk to her about serious matters.
Sure enough, the princess stood up and said to Ren Yaoqi, "Come with me." Then the princess walked towards the inner hall.
Ren Yaoqi didn't ask any more questions, but stood up and followed her.
Ren Yaoqi had been to the inner hall of the Jiuyang Palace with Xiao Jinglin before. This was where the princess usually rested. It usually did not receive outsiders, only close relatives.
The princess beckoned Ren Yaoqi to sit on the soft couch with her before she said to Su Jin and Qi Luo, "You should also leave first. Do not let anyone in without my order."
Su Jing and Qi Luo also responded and withdrew.
