Chapter 84 Returning to Nanyang City



The crown prince clicked his tongue, then finally gave up, turned over, and went to sleep.

I had a hangover last night, so I got up early today. I'm a little out of sorts, but I won't argue with a young girl.

Seeing that he didn't react, Rong Ning felt bored.

Lifting the carriage curtain, one could see Luo Chuan riding a horse on the side of the carriage.

He fled in panic yesterday and hasn't been seen since. I only saw him again today, just before he was about to leave.

They do know how to dodge.

She just stared at him, making Luo Chuan's scalp tingle.

Unable to bear it any longer, he asked, "Your Highness...do you have any orders?"

"No…"

Rong Ning smiled maliciously, "I just thought that Commander Luo and Lord Chu seem to be the same age, but I heard that Lord Chu has already married a beautiful wife and has two lovely children."

It seems that Commander Kolo hasn't married yet.

“Your Highness…” Luo Chuan said wearily, “This is my private matter, and I cannot discuss it further.”

"Ah...no...!"

Rong Ning still smiled, "You are a trusted and important minister of the Emperor, so your marriage is a big deal, just like my marriage with my elder sister and the Crown Prince. So many people are concerned about it."

Sigh... It's because Father didn't take this matter to heart and didn't think about finding a suitable girl for Commander Luo that you've ended up all alone.

"Once I return to Nanyang City, I will speak with my father."

Luo Chuan said helplessly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but there's no need. Marriage is a matter of fate; it will come when it's meant to be. There's no need for Your Highness to worry about me."

Alright~

Rong Ning looked at him, her spirits suddenly waning. She sighed, "Ah... I really envy Commander Luo... How about this, when Father Emperor wants to bestow a marriage upon me in the future, you can tell him that marriage is a matter of fate, and it will come when it's meant to be, so he doesn't have to worry about it, okay?"

Luo Chuan's face darkened. The Crown Prince and the princess in front of him could be considered the two most noble people in the Southern Dynasty besides His Majesty.

How dare he, a commander of the Imperial Guard, interfere in the marriage of these two people?

He wasn't like those ministers of the previous dynasty who were always meddling in other people's business.

He took a deep breath, bowed on horseback, and asked Rong Ning sincerely, "Actually... I've been quite uneasy, always wondering if I've offended Your Highness in some way?"

“Hey… Commander Luo…” Rong Ning straightened up, “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. I was just concerned about your marriage, why are you thinking this of me? You’re being too petty.”

Well……

Help! He seems to have really offended the gods!

I dare not speak! I dare not speak!

The Crown Prince, who was also in the carriage, couldn't help but laugh when he heard their conversation. Not wanting Luo Chuan to be troubled by Rong Ning any longer, he got up, pushed Rong Ning aside, and said, "A Ning... I have something to say to Commander Luo. Please move over there."

Rong Ning glanced at him, "If you have something to say, go downstairs and say it. Why should I move?"

Well……

Ancestors…

The Crown Prince had no choice but to give Luo Chuan a gesture, instructing him to go around to the other side of the carriage, while he himself returned to his original position.

Luo Chuan felt much less pressure after changing seats. The Crown Prince lifted the carriage curtain, and Luo Chuan cupped his hands in gratitude.

At this moment, there seemed to be some commotion at the back of the line. Looking into the distance, he saw that it seemed to be soldiers from the post station delivering messages.

The sound of horses' hooves grew closer, and finally stopped beside Luochuan.

The soldier shouted, "Your Highness... a letter sent back from Da Jing by Princess Zhaoqing."

Before she could finish speaking, Rong Ning had already quickly pushed the Crown Prince aside, leaning half her body out, "Sister, another letter? Quickly give it to me!"

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers quickly presented a small package.

Rong Ning happily accepted it, instructing, "Aying...give him this. Some reward money, give him a generous amount!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Ah Ying replied.

Upon hearing that it was a letter from Rong Yang, the Crown Prince sat up straight. "Does Yang'er write to you often?"

“It’s not often. My elder sister said that the Emperor and Empress of the Great Jing Dynasty are kind-hearted and allow concubines to write home once a month to let their families know they are safe. But now that she is the Emperor’s concubine, her status is special, so she can’t write to you and Father Emperor frequently. She can only write to me.”

As Rong Ning spoke, she opened the box, which contained many interesting and novel items from Dajing. On top of it was a letter.

Without looking at anything else, she opened the envelope, took out the letter, and saw the delicate handwriting.

Rong Ning read it word by word, over and over again, her expression growing increasingly grim.

The crown prince waited for a long time, but finally couldn't wait any longer and snatched the letter from her hand, saying, "Let me see it too."

In her letter, Rong Yang said that she was doing very well in the Da Jing palace. The Empress was kind and never made things difficult for her. The Da Jing Emperor also doted on her and was showing signs of becoming the most favored concubine in the palace.

After reading it, the Crown Prince had the same expression as Rong Ning.

"A-Ning... what do you think?"

"Does it matter how you see it?" Rong Ning asked helplessly. "Anyway, there's nothing we can do to help you, sister."

It's certainly not a good thing for a foreign princess to be the most favored concubine in the imperial harem.

Rong Ning was worried, but powerless to do anything about it, and only felt annoyed.

She now receives messages from Dajing every day.

However, Empress Dajing governs the palace strictly, and with her current network of connections, she cannot penetrate the Dajing harem. Therefore, news about her sister can only be obtained through the letters she sends out from the palace every month.

Letters from the inner palace had to be inspected, so what the elder sister wrote in the letter was also carefully considered.

Rong Ning took a deep breath, asked Aheng to prepare paper and ink, and wrote a reply.

The writings are mostly about trivial matters, such as correspondence between the youngest daughters.
