Chapter 392 Helping My Eldest Sister Conceal Her Romantic Relationship (4)
From the time she was old enough to understand, she made a living under the care of her mistress.
On the surface, he seemed to be handling things with ease.
In reality, every step was fraught with danger.
She sometimes even envied Bai Ruoyun.
She had a stepmother who doted on her.
Most of the time they live carefree lives.
Now she's not envious anymore, because she has a grandmother.
-
After arriving at the old lady's side, Bai Ruofu diligently followed her to learn things that women should learn, such as housekeeping, flower arranging, and tea ceremony.
The old lady already cherished her, and seeing how hard she worked, she felt even more affection for her and always advised her to take a break.
The old lady's handkerchief was in Yangchao's capital city. When the two went to the hot spring resort, they also brought Bai Ruofu along so that she could relax.
While soaking in the hot spring at the hot spring resort, Bai Ruofu suddenly encountered a venomous snake!
Fortunately, he was rescued by a teenager.
Because she was soaking in the hot spring, Bai Ruofu was dressed in thin clothes, and her clothes were soaked with water...
The boy saw her exquisite curves, and his ears instantly turned bright red.
Turn around.
Suddenly I felt warm liquid flowing out of my nasal cavity.
...It turned out that he had a nosebleed.
"Thank you for saving my life, young master. May I ask your name, young master Afu?"
"Li Xiheng".
Li Xiheng... is actually... His Highness the Crown Prince!
"This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Bai Ruofu was about to bow when Li Xiheng raised his hand to indicate that she didn't need to.
"I am traveling incognito this time and do not wish to make a fuss. Miss Afu, if you are interested, I can take you to the East Palace; if you are not interested, I will keep today's events to myself and remain silent."
Bai Ruofu was kind and gentle, and Li Xiheng liked her very much.
But he didn't want to force her.
Bai Ruofu, who was good at judging situations, could also hear the affection for her hidden in Li Xiheng's tone.
She nodded.
“If Your Highness doesn’t mind… Afu would certainly be willing…”
The other party is the Crown Prince, who holds a high position and great power, and has not yet married a Crown Princess.
Even if he doesn't marry her as his principal wife, being a concubine would be fine.
Most importantly, he respects himself.
In the Yang Dynasty, the crown prince wanted a girl and even asked her if she was willing. If this got out, it would shock countless people!
Actually, Li Xiheng could have avoided this trouble.
Just tell the Marquis of Zhongyong directly.
If Marquis Zhongyong were to hear of this, he would probably pack Bai Ruofu up and send her to the Eastern Palace overnight.
It is said that the inner palace is fraught with danger, a place where people are devoured without a trace.
But Bai Ruofu felt that the inner palace was better than the open and covert attacks of the Bai family.
She had also discovered a couple of days ago that Guo Wanrong's informants were trying to get close to her small kitchen.
Bai Ruofu felt that Guo Wanrong was trying to ruin her reputation by poisoning her food and making her look bad.
Having been immersed in the Marquis of Zhongyong's household for many years, Guo Wanrong had a chance to fight her to the death.
Although I was very reluctant to part with the old lady, it was time for a daughter to marry when she came of age, and my grandmother was getting old, so I couldn't protect her for the rest of her life.
-
It didn't take long.
The emperor issued an edict to appoint Bai Ruofu, the second daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong, as the Crown Princess. The investiture ceremony was held on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which also served as Bai Ruofu's wedding to Li Xiheng.
This incredible good news practically stunned the Marquis of Zhongyong...
Guo Wanrong forced a smile to congratulate Bai Ruofu, but the smile was more like a grimace.
Bai Ruofu is about to become the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince has even sent a nanny to "instruct" her.
It's called "teaching," but it's actually just protection.
That night, Guo Wanrong cried her heart out in bed.
She resented the unfairness of fate, wondering why her daughter suffered so much, while Bai Ruofu, an illegitimate daughter, could become the Crown Princess.
