"Do you still remember this thing?" Miao Xiang placed a leaf in front of him and shook it. Rong Zhen's memory went back to a few years ago when he rescued a father and daughter while suppressing bandits. The leaf was handed to him by that little girl. She was only thirteen years old that year.

"Are you that girl?" A flash of lightning flashed through Rong Zhen's mind. It was only six years ago that he recalled those memories, but everything that happened before was still vivid in his mind. Looking into Miao Xiang's eyes, it was no wonder that he always felt a sense of familiarity.

"It's me, Brother Rong, so you are the one who saved my life and my father's life!" Miao Xiang couldn't hide her excitement, she stretched out her arms and hugged him in her arms. This passionate and unrestrained move was seen by Gu Yunru who was passing by. She thought she had seen it wrong, but when she looked closely, she saw that it was Miao Xiang who took the initiative to throw herself into Rong Zhen's arms.

"Miss Miao...can you let go first?" Rong Zhen negotiated with her in a kind voice, but Miao Xiang was like a possessed person and refused to let him go no matter what.

Miao Xiang's smile was light and tender. She stood up from his arms, her eyes full of desire. She grabbed his hands and said, "Brother Rong, do you know how many ways I have tried to find my savior, but to no avail?"

"It's been so long, I'm glad you still remember it."

"Of course I have to remember, you are my dearest Brother Rong." Miao Xiang's smile never stopped. Looking at Rong Zhen's slightly surprised and confused expression, it seemed that she was not happy about their reunion.

"What's wrong, Brother Rong?" Miao Xiang watched him spread his hands with an expression of avoidance, and looked at his actions with some confusion.

Gu Yunru retracted her slightly dazed look, and with the maid beside her, she quickly found a place to slip away.

"princess!"

Little Leaf followed the princess back to Ginkgo Garden. They were originally going to visit the prince in the study. The princess even made some Tremella fuciformis soup herself, but she didn't expect to be so angry at the scene inside that her face turned blue.

"Princess, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. If you are really angry, why don't you just go in and confront that vixen face to face?" Xiao Ye felt that the prince certainly didn't do anything excessive. Everyone in the palace knew what kind of character the prince was.

Gu Yunru's mind was in a mess at the moment, and after being disturbed by Xiao Ye's words, he felt even more stuffy in his chest and was unable to speak.

With a calm expression, he looked at Xiao Ye with a forced smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm really not angry at all."

"Can……"

"Sister Yunru!" Speak of the devil, and Miao Xiang came over skipping and jumping.

I don’t know if this girl is really naive or silly, but after spending a few days with her, I felt that Gu Yunru was an approachable person, so I made an unreasonable request to her.

"Sister Yunru, I want to discuss something with you." Miao Xiang's bright smile was like a beautiful rose blooming on her cheeks, making people dazed for a moment.

"Just tell me what you have to say."

Gu Yunru sat uneasily in the chair, feeling that Miao Xiang's smile brought her an inexplicable pressure. She saw her charming smile, dimples slightly sunken, and looked at her blinking eyelashes and said, "I want to stay in the palace in the future. Brother Rong is my lifesaver. I want to stay here with him in return for my body."

Hearing her playful tone, I thought she was joking and almost choked on the tea. It took me a long time to come back to my senses. Miao Xiang saw her horrified look and quickly patted her on the back, anxiously asking, "Sister Gu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Facing the cute and naughty Miao Xiang in front of her, Gu Yunru just treated her as a younger sister. She didn't expect that she would really become her younger sister. Xiao Ye was furious, but she held back the resentment in her heart and didn't vent it for the time being. She sent Miao Xiang away first and didn't give her an accurate answer. Instead, she wanted to find Rong Zhen to discuss the matter and hear what he thought.

"Princess, the prince has been summoned to the palace by the emperor. I don't know what he will think about this matter. This Miao girl is too presumptuous. She actually wants to stay in the palace."

Little Leaf spoke sweetly to defend her. After hearing this, Gu Yunru sighed deeply and looked at the peach blossoms in the yard. Her brows were no longer full of spring water and she frowned slightly: "Okay, Little Leaf, stop saying those things. It's not good if Xiang'er hears them."

"But Princess, you have been so kind to her, almost treating her like a biological sister. Not only does she not repay the favor, she actually..."

Xiao Ye was still full of resentment when she said this. Shen Aojun, who was not far away, came over to visit and heard Xiao Ye complaining about something.

"What are you two, master and servant, talking about?" Shen Aojun's dimples appeared slightly, and she nodded and smiled. The sun was shining brightly today, so she came here to take a look.

"Madam..." Xiao Ye was just about to tell her about Miao Xiang, but was interrupted by a look from Gu Yunru. Shen Aojun looked at the master and servant flirting with each other, and knew that there must be something they were hiding from her.

"What's going on? Yunru, hasn't Miss Miao left yet? How long do you plan to keep her in the mansion?" Shen Aojun estimated the time. Half a month had passed, and it had been so many days since Miao Xiang came to the capital.

"Don't you want her to stay a little longer?" Gu Yunru's clear voice sounded like jade falling on a pearl plate without any tone.

The Imperial Palace.

Rong Zhen came to the palace and played chess with the emperor. The emperor told him about the new beauty he had recently married.

"Rong Zhen, Rong Zhen, your deeds have been reported to the palace. We don't want those concubines who fill the courtyard. We only want Gu Yunru to stay with us."

"Royal brother, you know my character..." Rong Zhen deliberately avoided his gaze and seemed very reserved.

"Okay, mother, you have promoted Concubine Qian to be the queen. It is indeed time for there to be a mistress in the harem." The emperor thought that he had not had a queen by his side for such a long time. Now that the situation has stabilized, it is time to consider this matter.

"That's great. I will definitely bring Yunru with me to the Queen's coronation ceremony."

The two brothers were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

The scene changed, and as soon as Rong Zhen returned to the palace, he felt a solemn atmosphere in the courtyard.

"Qingfeng, where is the princess?" Rong Zhen returned to the study first, and also had to review memorials submitted by local counties.

"Your Highness, the princess took the servants out for a stroll today and bought a lot of gold and silver jewelry for Miss Miao." When she mentioned this, she also deliberately observed Rong Zhen's expression. Rong Zhen was concentrating on reviewing the documents in front of him, when he suddenly heard laughter from the side, followed by a loud voice.

"Brother Rong!" Miao Xiang came to Rong Zhen happily. She had been looking for an opportunity to talk to him about this matter these past few days, but he always avoided her. She had no choice but to find Gu Yunru. She didn't know whether Sister Gu had mentioned this matter to Brother Rong.
