Chapter 85: Trouble
Zhu Huaizhen thought that she could stay in Liuting Tower for the next few days, eating and sleeping.
Unexpectedly, Tu Mi woke her up early.
"Okay, Tu Mi, let me sleep for another cup of tea." Zhu Huaizhen curled up his body, too lazy to lift his eyelids, and said weakly.
"Your Highness, that's what you said just a cup of tea ago." Tu Mi sighed helplessly.
Princess Ronghua is a night owl. She doesn't like to sleep in the middle of the night and likes to sleep in the morning.
Unfortunately, the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion has many rules, and life will probably be difficult in the future.
"Who the hell is preventing me from sleeping?" Zhu Huaizhen remained motionless, gritting his teeth.
"Your Highness, it's Princess Pingyang." Tu Mi said in a low voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Huaizhen jumped off the bed with a somersault.
Tu Mi looked surprised, but said nothing.
Lou Li once told Tu Mi that if Zhu Huaizhen was slow to act, she should use the title of Princess Pingyang to scare her.
Princess Pingyang fought in the battlefield when she was young and was quite powerful in Southern Yan.
Zhu Huaizhen may not be afraid of the monsters and demons in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but he has to respect Princess Pingyang.
However, Zhu Huaizhen had the wrong idea.
Zhu Huaizhen washed up and left Liuting Tower.
Tu Mi led the way to Duke Dingguo's Fucui Pavilion.
Oh, Zhu Huaizhen understood instantly.
Princess Pingyang also likes to sleep in, so she definitely won't be called to get up early.
Then, the only one who can call Duke Dingguo is the old lady.
Alas, this old lady must have been extremely unloved in the past, which is why she loves to act like a demon as she gets older.
Sure enough, in Fucui Pavilion, the old lady sat at the top, Duke Dingguo, Chen Ming'an, and Princess Xincheng Zhao Lian'er sat at the bottom left, and Madam Chen and Gao Yan'er sat at the bottom right.
"Princess Ronghua, you are of such a high status that you kept us waiting for so long." The old lady frowned and knocked her emerald-inlaid and huanghuali wood phoenix-head cane three times.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen casually bowed and was about to sit next to Chen Mingan.
Seeing this, Chen Mingan hesitated to speak.
Last night, Princess Pingyang summoned him to Zither Vineyard and asked him a few simple questions.
The first question was his attitude towards Princess Ronghua. If she was just a concubine forced into a marriage, then he should just leave her at the Duke Dingguo's mansion and let her live a leisurely life without so many rules.
Chen Mingan couldn't answer the first question.
He felt that whatever he said might not satisfy him.
The second question concerns his attitude towards Princess Xincheng. If he truly desires to spend his life with her, he should be prepared for the fact that she is not very fertile, and that he may face difficulties in having children. Then, at that point, the old lady and Madam Chen will inevitably join forces and attack Princess Xincheng. Add to that the Duke of Dingguo's soft-heartedness, and the family will likely face unrest.
When asked the second question, he bowed solemnly to Princess Pingyang, hoping that Princess Pingyang could help Princess Xincheng in time.
Unfortunately, Princess Pingyang didn't like this weak and frail girl and just shook her head.
If he bowed solemnly to Princess Pingyang and asked her to protect Princess Ronghua, Princess Pingyang would definitely consider it. However, given Princess Ronghua's temperament, she would not let herself suffer any loss.
"Princess Ronghua, have you forgotten your identity as a princess of a fallen country?" Madam Chen echoed.
"Old Madam, Madam Chen, you keep talking about the country's demise. Are you hoping for the demise of Southern Yan?" Zhu Huaizhen yawned and rolled his eyes.
