The next day.
Jiang Ranli woke up in a daze. She slowly stood up and looked at the palace she was in. Then, a figure came into her sight.
For a moment, her heart was filled with surprise, and she hurriedly stood up and walked towards the figure. After taking only two steps, she suddenly remembered that Yin'er would not be here, and the only one who could appear here was Yinzhen.
Hearing the voice, Yinzhen hurriedly turned around and looked at her. A doting smile welled up in his usually cold eyes, but the smile disappeared the next second and his brows were tightly furrowed.
He quickly stood up and walked to Jiang Ranli's side. Yinzhen was about to raise his hand to hug the person in front of him, but Jiang Ranli dodged him.
Seeing this, Yinzhen's eyes were disappointed and he said, "Although there is a charcoal fire in the palace, it is the middle of winter after all. How can we walk barefoot on the ground? What if the cold air enters our bodies?"
Jiang Ranli said nothing, and the palace maid beside her hurriedly brought her shoes and helped her wash and dress.
When it was time to change clothes, Jiang Ranli stopped the palace maid's actions and looked up at Yinzhen, "Fourth Master, won't you step aside? I am the Ninth Master's concubine, and it is not proper for you to be here."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen lowered his eyes slightly, clenched his hands behind his back, and slowly walked outside amid the frightened expressions of Su Peisheng and the palace maids.
Jiang Ranli didn't care about his reaction. After he left, she let the palace maid change her clothes, but refused to wear jewelry all over her head.
The palace maid did not dare to disobey and had to give up, but when she left, she explained the reason in detail to Yinzhen.
Yinzhen returned to the room and looked at Jiang Ranli, who was dressed simply and without makeup. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips and he said, "The palace maid said that you don't want to dress up, but I think you look better like this."
"Fourth Master, you are obviously unhappy," Jiang Ranli said, his clear eyes looking at Yinzhen quietly.
Yinzhen still smiled, told Su Peisheng to prepare breakfast, then sat down on the couch again and motioned Jiang Ran to come to his side.
Jiang Ranli didn't want to do as he wished, but she was very thirsty at the moment. The only tea in the palace was next to Yinzhen. With the idea that she couldn't let herself down for the time being, Jiang Ranli moved to the couch and sat down opposite Yinzhen.
"I am indeed unhappy. The affairs of the court and the palace make me overwhelmed, but as long as I see you, I will be very happy," Yinzhen looked at Jiang Ranli steadily.
Putting down the water cup, Jiang Ranli met his gaze, "Fourth Master, are you still unwilling to let me go?"
Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, then turned cold, "I said last night that from now on you are my concubine."
Jiang Ranli nodded and said, "Okay, I can stay here."
"Are you serious?" Yinzhen was overjoyed. He was afraid that he had heard it wrong, that it was an illusion, and asked in disbelief.
"I can stay here, but the Fourth Master has to promise me one thing," Jiang Ranli said.
"What is it? Just tell me, and I will do it for you." Yinzhen wanted to keep her. At this moment, he had countless thoughts in his mind, all of which were thinking that no matter what Jiang Ranli wanted, he would give it to her.
Jiang Ranli noticed Yinzhen's expression, but didn't take it seriously. He sorted out his thoughts and said, "I wonder if the Fourth Master still remembers that Hongqi and Hongxiang were kidnapped."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen's joyful expression paused for a moment.
Jiang Ranli looked at him and continued, "Looking at the look on Fourth Master's face, I think he remembers it, and he also knows who did it. As long as Fourth Master punishes the person who ordered their kidnapping for Hong Qi and Hong Xiang, I will stay without any complaints."
