After having lunch with Yinzhen and the Fourteenth Prince, the two of them went to the Eighth Prince's place together. Jiang Ranli was not bored because Hongzheng came to see her again.
Minyan accompanied Hongzheng to play in the yard as usual, and appeared at the gate again, sticking her head out to look at them.
When he saw Min Yan, Jiang Ranli sighed.
"Concubine, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Die asked.
"I don't know if Minyan can understand the moral of that little story," Jiang Ranli replied.
Last time, she told Minyan a little story, hoping that Minyan could understand that no matter what one's status is, one cannot do things based solely on one's own ideas. No matter high or low, no one is absolute.
Qiu Die looked at Min Yan who was looking over here, thought for a while and said, "Concubine, would you like me to bring Princess Min Yan in?"
"No need. If she doesn't want to come, it will be another hassle to force her in," Jiang Ranli shook his head.
Hong Zheng fell asleep due to exhaustion after playing for a while, and asked the maid beside him to take good care of him. Jiang Ranli sat down on the recliner in the yard. Maybe it was because the weather was still a little hot, she felt extremely tired after playing with Hong Zheng for a while.
"Concubine, Princess Minyan is so strange."
Qiu Die served Jiang Ranli and talked to her from time to time.
"What's strange?" Jiang Ranli asked.
"Usually, after the eldest prince left, she would also leave, but today, she is still standing there."
Following Qiu Die's gaze, she saw Min Yan still standing outside the courtyard gate, sticking her little head out to look at her. When she noticed that she was looking at her, she quickly retracted her head.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranli smiled, then retracted his gaze and continued to sit in the recliner with his eyes closed to rest.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Jiang Ranli was about to fall asleep when suddenly a low, crisp voice sounded beside him.
"Wake up."
Jiang Ranli woke up after hearing the sound and looked at Min Yan standing beside him without any surprise.
When she saw Hong Zheng leave but she still didn't leave, Jiang Ranli knew that she would definitely come to find her.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ranli asked.
Min Yan bit her lip, held the hem of her skirt with her small hands and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "I, I know that I make mistakes sometimes."
After hearing this, Jiang Ranli was filled with joy, thinking that Min Yan had not yet been completely influenced by Dong E.
"I apologize for scolding and hitting you that day, but you also have to apologize to me." When she said this, Min Yan raised her chin, and her pretty little face was full of stubbornness.
"What should I apologize to you for?" Jiang Ranli was puzzled. She didn't seem to have done anything to offend Min Yan.
"You are just a concubine, but you seduced my father and sowed discord between my mother and father, causing my mother to be confined to her house," Min Yan said.
Jiang Ranli's brows twitched slightly, and he adjusted his sitting posture.
"Minyan, just like the story I told you before, that young lady punished the maid without asking any questions. Do you think the maid was wronged?"
Hearing this, Min Yan thought about it and nodded seriously.
"What happened between your mother and me is similar to that story. You don't know what happened between us, but you asked me to apologize. Do you think this is reasonable?"
Min Yan is just four years old now, and it is not easy for her to adjust her cognition from the story. Jiang Ranli did not want to tell her too much about the dirty things that Dong E did. She just wanted to tell Min Yan that Dong E was confined to her house, which was the punishment she deserved.
