The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Yinmeijuri fell silent in an instant.

Ning Yuyuan was the first to recover: "Princess Lingxi was taken in by His Majesty? When did it happen?"

Duan Shanshan replied calmly, "It seems that it was a few days ago... not long after the former queen was deposed, Princess Lingxi was moved out of her guest residence and placed in your majesty's bedroom."

Ning Yuyuan was stunned: "Just move in like this without any status or position?"

Princess Lingxi is, after all, the daughter of the King of Northern Frontier. Even if Your Majesty wants to marry her, he shouldn't do so... Even if he doesn't announce it to the world, he should at least have clear procedures among the royal family. It's not like Your Majesty to be so hasty.

Not to mention Ning Yuyuan thinking this way, even Xu Rongrong was confused.

In her previous life, she had never heard of Princess Lingxi being canonized until her death. Why is it happening now?

But…a memory flashed through her mind.

She remembered that after the emperor abdicated the throne to Wu Tianqi and proclaimed himself the Supreme Emperor, there had always been a woman serving him.

Rumor has it that she was a woman from Northern Frontier. Could it be... Princess Lingxi?

She wanted to search for some clues from her memory, but because of the Mu Rong incident at that time, she was full of disgust towards the royal family. She would rather concentrate on research in her own medicine garden than get in touch with any news from the palace.

Xu Rongrong pulled herself out of her memories, while the girls around her were still discussing with great interest.

But the sun was approaching noon and the third bath ceremony was about to begin.

A maid came over and led Mei Ju and invited them to the garden.

Zhu Yu also came back at this time. She put the cloak on Xu Rongrong's shoulders and whispered: "I have already dealt with that thing."

Xu Rongrong nodded.

When dealing with Wei today, the sachet containing Sanguisorba officinalis and ginseng at the end of Mu Qianyin's bed must be destroyed in advance.

He came to the empty Yinmei Residence just to make it easier for Zhuyu to burn the sachet.

The Ning Prince's Mansion has now welcomed the first grandson of the current emperor. Most of the dignitaries in the capital are gathered in the garden of the Ning Prince's Mansion today.

But no matter how crowded the crowd was, Xu Rongrong could still see at a glance the man with a solemn face and a sharp aura standing not far away.

Mu Rong had just finished discussing countermeasures with King Ning in the study, and was rehearsing the possible events that might happen today in his mind. Suddenly, he was disturbed by a look.

He raised his head and met Xu Rongrong's bright eyes.

The corners of Mu Rong's mouth curled up unconsciously, and his steps followed.

Although the garden was full of people greeting each other, Mu Rong only felt that the road leading to her was unusually wide.

"Have you seen the princess?" He stood beside her.

Xu Rongrong nodded, and his proximity made her cheeks slightly red.

Because of the height difference, he leaned forward slightly when he spoke, as if he wanted to hold the girl in his arms.

Duan Shanshan and others saw this and quickly stepped aside.

"The relationship between Sister Xu and the Marquis seems to be different from before." Xiao Ling'er said in a low voice, covering her mouth.

This was the first time she saw Xu Rongrong look shy when Mu Rong approached her.

"It's not appropriate to stare at them like this. Let's go to the other side and wait." Duan Shanshan blocked the sight of Xiao Ling'er and Ning Yuyuan and pulled them aside.

She was a few years older than the two of them, and now was the time to discuss marriage. Her mother had arranged two or three meetings with them. Because she had no feelings for those people, she was obedient and did what her mother said every time they met, but she felt indifferent in her heart.

It was just like when Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong were together before. Although they were standing together, there was no ripple on the woman's face.

But just now, she clearly saw the change in Xu Rongrong's expression.

She knew that Xiao Ling'er was right, and the way they got along was indeed different.

But she was not as curious as Xiao Ling'er and Ning Yuyuan.

The reason why she had a close relationship with Xu Rongrong was because she felt that she was different from those women in the capital who only wanted to find a good husband and depend on men all their lives.

Xu Rongrong was the daughter of an unknown sixth-rank official and was named a county lady. Others said that she relied on the power of Weiyuan Marquis, but Duan Shanshan knew that was not true.

Between Xu Rongrong and Weiyuan Hou, the one pursuing is always Weiyuan Hou.

Instead of letting her be curious about the relationship between the two, it would be better to let her learn a thing or two about dealing with things from Xu Rongrong.

……

Mu Qianyin was not in a position to be present at the third-day bathing ceremony.

The ceremony was presided over by the elders of the royal family. Although they were members of the royal family, they knew that they needed to rely more on those in power.

In the current situation in the court, Prince Ning is very popular, so at the third-day bathing ceremony, the elders had endless auspicious words to say.

When the atmosphere was getting lively, Eunuch Yao came with Eunuch Su, who had entered the mansion two days ago, to convey the imperial eunuch's orders.

The day before yesterday, he came to confer an award on Princess Ning, and today...

"Are you here to enthrone Liang Ge'er?" Xu Rongrong tugged at Mu Rong's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Liang Ge'er is the protagonist of today's third-day baptism ceremony, the son of Prince Ning and Mu Qianyin.

Since the royal heirs must be named by Your Majesty himself, they can only be called by their nicknames for now.

Mu Rong was squinting his eyes to look at the young eunuch behind Eunuch Yao, when he was caught off guard by Xu Rongrong's small hand and he subconsciously lowered his head.

I saw the pink little hand pulling at his sleeve, which looked even whiter and more tender against the stone-blue sleeve.

He couldn't help but clasped the little hand into his palm.

Xu Rongrong was stunned.

Subconsciously, I wanted to pull my hand out, but the big hand held it tighter and tighter.

"Let go." She was a little annoyed. If someone saw them acting like this in public, she didn't know how they would be criticized.

How could Mu Rong not understand the girl's thoughts, but he rarely saw her taking the initiative so naturally he couldn't let go for a while.

He smiled and lowered his voice: "Don't be afraid, Rongrong, no one can see it."

After saying that, he put his slender fingers into Xu Rongrong's fingertips and interlocked their fingers.

Seeing that the people around him were getting angry, he hurriedly changed the subject with a smile and answered Xu Rongrong's previous question: "Three brothers came to the palace two days ago to ask for the title of Crown Prince. In order for today's show to go on, His Majesty must confer the title no matter what."

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Rong finished speaking, Eunuch Yao started to spread the rice paper.

All the people and guests in Prince Ning's mansion knelt down to receive the order.

"…The way of being a human being is like the constancy of the moon and the rise of the sun. I specially grant the son of Prince Ning the name Heng and confer the title of Crown Prince on him."

The emperor not only conferred a title on the crown prince, but also gave him a name.

This is also the first case in all dynasties.

Because royal heirs are difficult to raise, in order to avoid taboos, they are usually given a name when they are one year old and included in the generation list.

But now, Liang Ge'er was only born a few days ago, but the emperor ignored all taboos.

Others thought that His Majesty valued the child too much and was willing to give up everything for him.

But only those who understand the truth know his true intentions——

It not only shows her favor for Prince Ning, but also makes him suffer backlash from the traditions of this world.

really.

Just as Prince Ning was accepting the imperial edict and expressing his gratitude, there was a panic in the backyard.

"Princess Ning is bleeding heavily!"
