See you in the study in the front yard!
Judging from the magpie's tone, it was clear that he wanted to discuss serious matters.
Otherwise, the Fourth Prince could have simply come to her courtyard to talk.
Rong Xi put away the spirit stones, looked at the magpie, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Have Granny Rui and Granny Xiang returned yet?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the two matrons have not returned!"
"Um?"
When Rongxi heard from the magpie that Granny Rui and Granny Xiang had not returned, she was taken aback.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang are her guardian nannies; fundamentally, they should be wherever she is. Situations like the Fourth Prince's previous practice of borrowing them for other purposes should not have occurred.
Now that the Fourth Prince has returned, the two of them have not come back with him, making the situation even more strange.
"Master, is there something wrong?"
Seeing Rong Xi's solemn expression, Xi Que was also slightly taken aback.
Rong Xi forced a smile and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
Rongxi had a bad feeling that Granny Rui and Granny Xiang hadn't returned. Either they had encountered some trouble, or the Fourth Prince had made some decision.
"Let's go take a look!"
Rong Xi slowly got up and walked towards the door.
"yes!"
The magpie responded in a deep voice and followed Rong Xi outside.
...
The Fourth Prince's study was quiet, with the door open.
Su Peisheng stood at the entrance of the study courtyard and saw Rong Xi coming over, so he quickly went to greet her.
"This servant greets Your Highness!"
"The Prince is waiting for you in his study!"
Su Peisheng's attitude was very respectful, without the slightest disrespect or arrogance.
Rong Xi nodded without saying anything more.
Judging from Su Peisheng's attitude, the Fourth Prince didn't intend to do anything to her. Come to think of it, she was, after all, carrying the Fourth Prince's child—his eldest son!
Even if the Fourth Prince had any complaints about her, he would only express them after the baby in her belly was born.
This period of time was enough for Rong Xi to improve her cultivation level!
Rong Xi pondered this in her mind as she slowly walked into the Fourth Prince's study and saw him sitting in a chair.
At this moment, the Fourth Prince was holding an ancient book written on bamboo slips, which he was reading with great interest.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Rong Xi stepped forward and gave a perfunctory bow.
The Fourth Prince put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looked at Rong Xi with a slightly indifferent expression, pointed to the chair next to him, and slowly said, "Please sit down, Consort!"
"Lord Xie!"
Rong Xi returned the smile, her expression quite sincere.
Regardless, for now, she still needs to be cautious when dealing with the Fourth Prince. After all, he is a prince, and her man in name only.
"Is he really that unpopular with you?"
The Fourth Prince spoke, his gaze fixed intently on Rong Xi. His words left Rong Xi slightly bewildered; what did he mean?
Why aren't you answering?
Rong Xi glared at the Fourth Prince, blinked, and was completely baffled as to why he would suddenly ask such a question.
The Fourth Prince suddenly stood up, slowly walked up to her, and looked down at her.
"I don't know how to answer!"
Rong Xi was truly bewildered. Her mind raced, but tragically, she had absolutely no clue what was wrong. Who knew what had gotten into the Fourth Prince all of a sudden, or what she had done?
"I ordered you to deal with the Song family. What was your decision?"
"Wait for me to return and make my judgment!"
"If Li doesn't step forward, are you really planning to let the master deal with Song?"
When the Fourth Prince said these words, his expression was slightly ferocious, and his words had a hint of gritted teeth.
"Uh, well, I just don't have any experience!"
Rong Xi understood; the Fourth Prince had come to settle scores later.
But all she did was ask the Fourth Prince to stop Song Gege from climbing into bed. Was it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it? Well, although the Fourth Prince's judgment was correct, this was something she absolutely could not admit to.
"Didn't Granny Xiang leave you a message before she left? Without rules, there can be no order!"
The Fourth Prince snorted.
Upon hearing this, Rong Xi immediately stared at the Fourth Prince with wide eyes and asked, "Your Highness, how do you know this?"
Although she knew why the Fourth Prince knew, she still felt it necessary to ask him this question.
As for the reason?
Haha, what does it mean to occupy the moral high ground? This is it!
The fact that the Fourth Prince would use secret guards to monitor his own wife is utterly ridiculous.
"Why?"
"Hmph! Because Master instructed Granny Xiang to tell Magpie!"
The Fourth Prince was furious. He was puzzled as to why the stupid woman in front of him wouldn't understand even though he had made it so obvious.
Rong Xi blinked, utterly shocked!
She was genuinely shocked; she never expected the Fourth Prince to do something like that.
Could it be that I really am blessed with the protagonist's halo? Could the aloof Fourth Prince possibly be interested in an ordinary woman like me who has no looks?
Or is it because Lady Ulanara was pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child?
Rong Xi couldn't understand it at all. How could a prince, who was handsome, talented, and skilled in cultivation, possibly care about a woman as plain-looking as her?
"Sir, since it's your wish, why don't you just say so directly?"
Rong Xi gazed longingly at the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince snorted again and said, "If I were to deal with it directly, how would I know that my wife doesn't care about me at all?"
"I'm innocent!"
Rong Xi resolutely cried out her innocence, "Your Highness, in my heart, you are like heaven!"
"Stop spouting nonsense. I'm not blind or an idiot!"
The Fourth Prince is not so easily fooled. Others may not know why Rong Xi did what he did before, but he knows perfectly well.
"My lord, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that I'm afraid!"
Seeing the Fourth Prince about to explode with anger, Rong Xi had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
"You are my lawfully wedded wife, a marriage bestowed by Father Emperor. What do you have to be afraid of?"
The Fourth Prince stared coldly at Rong Xi, not believing her explanation.
Rong Xi blinked, pursed her lips, and said, "Your Highness, please listen to me slowly. After you've heard everything I have to say, then we can talk about the rest, okay?"
"Okay, go ahead!"
The Fourth Prince stared coldly at Rong Xi.
Rong Xi feigned a pitiful and aggrieved expression as she slowly said, "Before, I was just an ordinary person. It was only because my father saved my father that I was granted a marriage by my father and married to Prince Beile as his primary consort. In this era where cultivation is paramount, I am just an ordinary person. How could I possibly be worthy of such a high position as the primary consort of a prince?"
"Now, although I can cultivate, the path ahead is unknown for someone with five spiritual roots!"
"If I were to suffer the misfortune of going mad from my cultivation, how would my child survive?"
"How could I not be afraid?"
