"All right."

Seeing Gou Sheng walking back to the gambling house with cheerful steps, Gu Yunru was now in a state of confusion. She looked at Cheng Shaoyuan who was also lost in thought and shrugged at him, "Let's go back first. Tell me if there is any news. It's getting late and I have to go back."

"This is the first time you've asked to go back. It's not even dark yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Cheng Shaoyuan looked at her with some surprise, but Gu Yunru would not tell him because she was afraid of Rong Zhen's majesty. As a princess of Prince Zhao, she must take care of the affairs in the backyard.

"Okay, don't worry about it. I have to go back first. Remember to tell me if you have any news." Gu Yunru was too lazy to say anything else to him. He took Qingxing and went straight back to the palace. As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a man with a dignified face sitting there.

Qing Xing felt secretly bad. She had not expected that even though they were caught by the prince, the two of them were still dressed in strange costumes, which would definitely cause great dissatisfaction from the prince.

"I deserve to die. I shouldn't have caused trouble with the princess." Qingxing knelt down in front of Rong Zhen with a plop. Gu Yunru wanted to pull her up, but she didn't expect that this girl was more timid than a mouse.

"Hehe, this is all my own idea. I was the one who thought of ways to run out and play every day. I embarrassed you. If you want to hit me or scold me, just come at me. Don't vent your anger on Qingxing."

Gu Yunru looked at his eyes that were as deep as a pool and neither angry nor resentful, and felt even more uneasy. If he had just scolded her, she wouldn't have been so tormented.

What she hated was that Rong Zhen never showed anything on his face. Even if she could read minds, she couldn't tell what Rong Zhen was thinking.

Gu Yunru suppressed the uneasiness rising in her heart and simply closed her eyes, looking like a fish on the chopping board.

"You step back first." Rong Zhen spoke to Qing Xing, and Qing Xing immediately stepped back as if she had been pardoned. The atmosphere in the entire hall began to become weird.

"Don't look at me with those sinister eyes of yours. I know you must think that I am unqualified to be the Princess of Zhao. If you think I am really not competent, you can help Xiao Xie come up, and I can be the concubine."

Gu Yunru had given up hope. She didn't want to be Princess Zhao anyway. She had a lot of things on her shoulders and she was only interested in solving cases. She couldn't stand managing those trivial matters.

"Why, do you think being my concubine is unfair to you?" Rong Zhen looked as steady as a rock, his eyes exuding a sharp and intimidating look.

"It's not that I feel wronged. Anyway, if I don't want to be the princess, there are other people who can take the position. I might as well let them take the position."

Looking at her nonchalant look, Rong Zhen felt a flame rising in his heart.

"From now on, copy the female ring a hundred times, and I will hire a nanny for you tomorrow."

"What? Nanny, do you think I'm uneducated?"

Gu Yunru saw him about to leave and grabbed his sleeve directly, but was frightened by his murderous look and withdrew her hand.

"If you were well-mannered, you wouldn't have embarrassed yourself in the Xie Mansion." Rong Zhen's light words deeply hurt her self-esteem.

"I don't want to learn any manners, and I don't want to copy any women's rings!" Gu Yunru yelled at his back, but no one responded. She was like an abandoned bird and could only fly back to the cage obediently.

Qing Xing came into the room with tea, looked at her gloomy face and said, "Princess, what you said is really strange. Whenever he meets Master Cheng, the prince will be angry and will think of ways to punish you."

"How does he know who I was with today?"

Gu Yunru quickly turned her head away, her tone questioning.

"You forgot that we met at Ruyi Inn today, and who was there at Ruyi Inn that you don't remember?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yunru immediately slammed the table and stood up. It must be Ting Ya. She didn't expect that Ting Ya was now like those gossipy women in the market, who liked to talk behind people's backs. But it was also her own fault for her improper behavior. No wonder she made Rong Zhen angry again.

"Princess, calm down. The governess will be here soon."

"A governess from the palace."

"Yes, her name seems to be something like Qin Niang."

"Mother Qin, who cares about her mother? Anyway, don't try to lock me up here alone."

Gu Yunru curled her lips in disdain. The sun was slowly setting. Qin Niang came in front of her, wearing a dark yellow plaid long-sleeved dress. She looked dignified and solemn, with a pretty face and a rather simple headdress.

"Mrs. Qin has met the princess."

Qin Niang's voice is pleasant and she looks no more than thirty years old.

"Get up."

Gu Yunru took the cup in his hand and swallowed it all in one gulp. He looked at her again, but didn't see anything new. This Qin Niang gave people a stuffy feeling.

"The prince has ordered that before dinner today, Princess, you need to copy out the female ring, otherwise you can only eat the next morning."

Qing Xing, who was standing nearby, drooped her face when she heard this. Since Qin Niang was the prince's person, she couldn't scold her, so she could only admit her defeat and walked to Gu Yunru's side, "Princess, you'd better hurry up and copy it. If you keep writing for a while, you won't be able to finish it by dark."

"I know, more haste makes waste." Gu Yunru picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and slowly drew another big turtle on the paper. Qin Niang frowned when she saw this. This princess really has a wild temper.

"Please copy it carefully, Princess."

Qin Niang lowered her head, and even Qin Niang beside her was terrified. Was the princess doing this just to embarrass the prince? "I know, your characters have so many strokes, I have to take my time." Gu Yunru looked at these styles similar to oracle bone script. They were obviously small seal characters, but there were so many strokes that it looked like ghost paintings. She only knew how to write Chinese characters, so how could she write this kind of font? "My hands are so sore, Qingxing, peel some walnuts for me." Gu Yunru wrote for two hours. Seeing that it was getting dark, she was so hungry that she had no strength, but Qin Niang beside her stopped her, and Qingxing didn't dare to take the walnuts.
