Granny Xiang responded.
They were Rong Xi's guardian nannies. Although they had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, they did not dare to secretly spy on Rong Xi's situation.
There is a distinction between superiors and inferiors!
"Knock on the door!"
The Fourth Prince pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort says she wants to be alone for a while!"
Granny Rui was usually very shrewd and resourceful, but at this moment, she did not back down and stood firmly on Rong Xi's side.
"I have something to say to my wife, please step aside!"
The Fourth Prince's expression turned slightly cold as he was blocked by Granny Rui. He had even temporarily skipped the grand banquet ahead just to see his wife, and now he was being blocked. How could the Fourth Prince be happy?
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort is not in a good mood right now. Perhaps you shouldn't see her at this time!"
Granny Xiang then spoke up, offering a very plausible reason.
The Fourth Prince ignored all of this and said coldly, "It is precisely because the Princess Consort is in a bad mood that I must stay by her side. You do not understand the principle of husband and wife being one. Get out!"
The Fourth Prince suppressed his anger.
Although he knew that Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were simply doing their duty, he was still somewhat annoyed. These two had only been able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage because of him, and now they were treating him like this.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang exchanged a glance, both of them quite perplexed.
They were Rong Xi's guardian nannies, tasked with maintaining her authority. They were to remain at their posts until Rong Xi spoke.
However, the two of them had to admit that what the Fourth Prince said made some sense.
Now that the Princess Consort's dantian is shattered and her cultivation path is cut off, if she is not favored by the Fourth Prince, then her days in the Yong Prince's Mansion will certainly not be easy.
How to choose?
This is indeed a problem!
Just as the two were struggling with their decision, the door to the room creaked open.
"Granny Rui, Granny Xiang, thank you for your trouble. Please invite the Prince in!"
Rong Xi's voice came from the room.
Upon hearing Rong Xi's instructions, Granny Rui and Granny Xiang stepped aside and stood on either side, watching the Fourth Prince enter the room.
Inside the room, the pearls shone brightly, making the light inside almost indistinguishable from that outside.
"Madam!"
The Fourth Prince walked to Rong Xi's side and asked, "How are you?"
At this moment, the Fourth Prince's gaze towards Rong Xi was somewhat unsettled. He knew his memories had been altered; he didn't know what he had forgotten, but he was certain that what he had forgotten was very important.
"I am perfectly fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Rong Xi's expression was somewhat indifferent. As someone whose dantian was shattered, she should have been somewhat dejected at the moment.
Rong Xi didn't intend to tell the Fourth Prince about her restored dantian and the gradual improvement in her cultivation. She planned to play dumb to deceive him, and, while she was at it, see if the Fourth Prince was truly capable of sharing both hardship and prosperity.
This is really not Rong Xi's fault!
Historically, the Fourth Prince is portrayed as a harsh and ungrateful figure. The two meritorious officials who helped him ascend the throne, Nian Gengyao and Longkodo, ultimately met tragic ends.
No one knows exactly what happened in history.
But learning from history, Rong Xi felt she still needed to be more careful. Even though she now existed as a member of the Ulanara clan, was the Fourth Prince's only woman, and was pregnant with his son, for an emperor, women and children were things that could be discarded at any time.
After all, what can't a king who possesses the wealth of the world have?
This is a world of cultivation, unlike the Qing Dynasty in history. But who the hell knows what the people here will be like?
They say you have to give your heart to receive your heart?
But as a time traveler, Rong Xi knew that whoever fell in love first would lose!
"My lady, I don't know what I've forgotten, but no matter what, I'll always be here. Now that you can't cultivate, and life is but a fleeting hundred years, I'll stay with you for a hundred years!"
The Fourth Prince looked at Rong Xi, whose expression was somewhat disappointed, and spoke in a deep voice.
"What are you saying, Your Highness?"
Rong Xi was somewhat bewildered by what the Fourth Prince said.
Damn it, she really didn't expect the Fourth Prince to suddenly say something like that. Was this a confession?
If she really became an ordinary person, wouldn't her life truly be a hundred years?
"Heaven and earth bear witness, I, Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen, wish—"
"stop!"
Rong Xi quickly reached out and covered the Fourth Prince's mouth.
Damn it, I can't take it anymore!
At this moment, Rong Xi was questioning the meaning of life. She truly couldn't understand why the Fourth Prince would want to make such a vow. Did she and he really have such deep feelings for each other?
Rong Xi stopped the Fourth Prince from making his vow and quickly withdrew her hand.
She was genuinely confused.
The Fourth Prince's words and actions just now... was this a confession?
The question is, in Rong Xi's view, is their relationship really that deep? She's a time traveler; yes, she mentioned it to the Fourth Prince once. But what happened? The Fourth Prince forgot!
She is now both a member of the Ulanara clan and not a member of the Ulanara clan.
If the Fourth Prince were to swear an oath, it would certainly be an oath to the Ulanara clan. So, is she actually the Ulanara clan member or Rong Xi?
Or perhaps, she is nobody!
Rong Xi herself was somewhat confused about her current identity.
She didn't know how other time travelers could so easily accept becoming someone else, but she always felt awkward.
"My lady, trust me!"
The Fourth Prince had no idea how confused Rong Xi was. He reached out and held Rong Xi's hand, looking at her with deep affection, "I can't guarantee anything, but as long as you live, you will be the only mistress of the Yong Prince's Mansion!"
"..."
"Your Highness, I would like to have some peace and quiet!"
Hearing the Fourth Prince's words, he felt even more terrified.
She even wondered if the Fourth Prince had gotten his head stuck in a door. This side of the Fourth Prince really made her uncomfortable.
However, Rong Xi felt uneasy about saying these words to the Fourth Prince.
"Alright, I'll go ahead."
The Fourth Prince didn't say anything more, he just nodded.
"Trust me, sir!"
Before the Fourth Prince left, he said the same thing.
Rong Xi was bewildered and did not respond.
She didn't know how to respond, so she decided to continue pretending to be clueless!
The Fourth Prince left the room, looked at Granny Rui and Granny Xiang who were guarding the door, and said in a deep voice, "Granny Rui, go and call Jiang Zi and Xi Que back. From now on, the Princess Consort must be accompanied by someone at all times. No matter how many people are needed for things in the manor, we must ensure that the Princess Consort has someone by her side!"
"Especially the two of you!"
"yes!"
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were puzzled, but the Fourth Prince's sharp words and stern expression made them somewhat uneasy.
Well, even though the Fourth Prince was only at the Golden Core stage, they still felt immense pressure facing him. This wasn't just due to their different statuses; more importantly, a higher cultivation level doesn't necessarily equate to greater strength.
...
Sorry, something came up at home and I had to take two days off. I'll try my best to catch up today!
