Here, Yu Ru took Princess Ruihua's business card and drove the carriage to the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
After the doorman informed the second lady that someone had come from Princess Ruihua's mansion, the second lady quickly welcomed the person into the old lady's yard.
Yu Ru bowed to the old lady before explaining her purpose. "Old lady, my princess asked me to invite the wife of Master Shen to our house for tea. I hope you will grant me permission!"
"Princess Ruihua has invited her. This is a blessing for that girl." The old lady replied with a smile, and then said to the second lady, "Take this girl directly to Jinglan Garden."
"Yes, mother." The second wife agreed with a smile, "Miss Yuru, please come this way!"
After the two of them left, the old lady asked in confusion, "What did Princess Ruihua want to do with that girl?"
She didn't feel comfortable asking in person just now, mainly because Princess Ruihua didn't like that girl either!
Nanny Zhang massaged the old lady's shoulders and said with a smile, "Maybe they're looking for a portrait of the Crown Prince's wife!"
The old lady nodded, "That's possible."
She almost forgot that the girl had this skill!
Jinglan Garden
Xia Tian looked at Yu Ru and asked, "Princess Ruihua invited me to her house for tea?"
Why doesn't she believe this?
"Yes, Madam, that is what the Princess instructed me to do."
"Okay, Miss Yuru, wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes."
"Madam, please do as you please."
The second wife accompanied Yu Ru in the outer room while Xia Tian went to the inner room to change clothes.
"Do you think Princess Ruihua wants to ask me about what happened yesterday?" Xia Tian whispered to Ningxiang who was helping her put on her clothes.
Ningxiang shook her head, "I'm not sure, but should we wait until the prince comes back?"
"No, everyone's waiting. Go ahead and we'll adapt to the situation when the time comes." Xia Tian whispered to Ningxiang, "If they're asking about yesterday, remember to tell them what we agreed on."
Ningxiang nodded, "Yes, Madam, don't worry, I know."
After changing his clothes, Xia Tian came out from the inner room and said, "Let's go, Miss Yuru!"
The Second Madam watched Xia Tian leave in the carriage of the Princess's Mansion, and her heart was beating fast, fearing that Princess Ruihua would embarrass Xia Tian. In the end, she had no choice but to send someone to tell Chen Nian.
Chen Nian was on duty and couldn't leave, so she sent Mu Chen to drive the carriage to wait outside Princess Ruihua's mansion.
When Xia Tian arrived at the Princess's Mansion, Princess Ruihua was already waiting for her in the hall.
"Your humble servant greets the eldest princess." Xia Tian bowed.
"Please sit down." Princess Ruihua said, pointing to the chair next to her.
After the summer settled, Princess Ruihua asked the maid to serve tea, and the two of them sat together to drink tea.
Xia Tian had already drunk half a cup of tea with a calm expression, but Princess Ruihua had not spoken yet.
It seemed as if he was just calling her to have tea.
Xia Tian couldn't decide whether to speak first. What did this mean? He called her over without saying a word. Was it really just to drink tea?
Princess Ruihua was actually feeling a little complicated at this moment. She had been suppressing her hostility towards Xia Tian, but she had never expected that this girl whom she looked down upon would actually save her Yun'er at such a critical moment.
Seeing that Princess Ruihua was silent and kept looking at her, Xia Tian finally couldn't help but speak first, "Princess, are you really looking for me just to have tea?"
She had just finished her cup of tea, and Yu Ru had already poured her another cup.
Princess Ruihua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Of course it's not just for tea."
I told you, we don’t have any personal relationship, why would you invite her for tea?
"The princess is looking for me to ask about what happened to County Lady Yunying at the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion yesterday?" Xia Tian put down his teacup and asked seriously.
Princess Ruihua smiled and said, "He is indeed a smart person."
"I am a self-aware person. The princess would definitely not invite me over for tea for no reason."
Xia Tian looked into the princess's eyes and continued, "Princess, if you have any questions, I will answer them with all my heart."
Princess Ruihua nodded, was silent for a moment, and then asked the question in her heart, "Why did Madam Shen help Yun'er yesterday?"
This was something she had been thinking about all night and still couldn't figure out.
Logically speaking, Yun'er had always been causing trouble for the wife of Master Shen, and even kicked her into the lake and almost killed her.
Faced with such a good opportunity, the Crown Prince's wife was kind enough not to take advantage of it and even lend a helping hand to save Yun'er.
If it were her, she would definitely not be able to do it!
"The Princess thinks it's unbelievable for a minister to repay evil with kindness, right?"
Xia Tian smiled slightly, "It's nothing, actually. I just think that since they are all girls, no matter what, we can't ruin someone's innocence in that way.
Even if I dislike County Lady Yunying as much as I do, I don't want to see her suffer misfortune in this way."
Princess Ruihua didn't expect that it was because of this reason. She thought he wanted to get some benefits from her.
After all, she is a peasant girl from the countryside. If she can get the protection of the eldest princess, her future life will be much easier.
"I didn't expect that Mrs. Shen is so frank and she is actually a person of character. It seems that I have misunderstood you before." Princess Ruihua smiled.
She didn't expect that Xia Tian would dare to say in front of her that he hated Yun'er, and he didn't talk high to her and take the opportunity to ask for benefits.
Ever since she presented gifts at the Queen Mother's birthday last time, she realized that this wife of Prince Shen was not a simple person, and was even somewhat scheming.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have revealed that she was Xuanying in front of so many people, and she would not have been so cautious, taking advantage of the fact that they were not in harmony with her, and pushing her in front of the Queen Mother step by step.
Not only did she receive rewards and fame, but even the emperor praised her highly and appointed her as the imperial painter.
She originally thought that Shen Nian was behind this girl, but today she found out that she had underestimated this girl.
Perhaps she really has the ability to stand beside Shen Nian, otherwise why would Prince Shen not marry a noble lady from the capital and insist on marrying a peasant girl?
Xia Tian looked at Princess Ruihua who had been gazing at her and smiled calmly, "Princess, you are praising me. Although I am not well-educated and my family background is not high, I still have the moral principles that a person should have."
Princess Ruihua was surprised. What is a person's bottom line? This was the first time she heard of this term!
"No matter what, it was you who saved Yun'er yesterday. I am grateful for your kindness."
"Then can I ask the princess for mercy?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.
The smile on Princess Ruihua's face faded. Could it be that she overestimated him?
"Madam Shen, please tell me what I can do."
"Could the Princess please talk to County Lady Yunying and ask her not to bother me again in the future?" Xia Tian said, looking at Princess Ruihua expectantly.
Princess Ruihua paused noticeably while drinking her tea. Everyone was prepared for her to ask for a huge amount of money, but this was her request?
Princess Ruihua looked at Xia Tian with complicated eyes. Before she could speak, County Master Yunying rushed in.
