Seeing this, the woman hurried over and knelt on her knees in front of Xingnan.
"Hail, Princess Ning! Ah Qin didn't recognize me and was impolite just now. Ah Qin is at fault. Please punish me, Princess."
"Aqin?"
Xingnan repeated her name. This girl was quite polite, and judging from her appearance and speech, she didn't look like an ordinary farm girl.
She then glanced around the room and asked disdainfully:
"Who brought you here?"
Aqin hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice:
"Yes...it's Prince Ning."
"Oh? Where did you meet Prince Ning?"

"Okay, the prince has gone to the morning court. When he comes back later, ask him. If he agrees to let you stay, I have no objection."
While she was saying this, she had already thought about it.
