Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Xiao Wen, you seem very nervous." Noble Consort Guan asked gently.

"Empress Noble Consort, if you have something to say, just say it." Ruan Xiaonuan didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so she said straightforwardly.

"You can just call me Big Sis in the future, just like Chen Er." Although she said it like that, it was because Ruan Xiaonuan felt that it was easy to get along with people from the Prime Minister's Hall in the Noble Consort.

That elder sister of hers couldn't say anything, so she could only avoid the topic. "Are you having any difficulties?"

"It's Big Sis." Noble Consort Guan emphasized it again.

"Big Sis." Ruan Xiaonuan mumbled for a long time and finally said it out.

When she heard this, she finally laughed. The talker asked in the same manner, "How are the people from the Prime Minister's Estate doing? I haven't seen them in a long time. "

"They're all fine." Ruan Xiaonuan answered very simple. When he saw the homesick expression on her face, he suddenly felt some sympathy for her. However, after a woman from ancient times marries, she could not run back to her parents' home from time to time. But you can go back during the holidays.

However, entering the palace was different. Entering the palace meant that he would not have his previous home. If it wasn't for the emperor who had shown mercy to them, they might not have met any relatives in this lifetime.

Thinking up to here, Ruan Xiaonuan said another sentence, "Chen Er has changed now, she is no longer the same as before. "I've been studying Lil 'Red with my foster mother."

"I learned of this in my letter, thanks to you. "You haven't given me anything since you became my adopted sister." She then looked at the palace maid beside her and instructed, "Go and bring the box over."

"I have worn this jade pendant for many years. All these years, I have been able to enjoy the peace of the palace, thanks to her protection. I am giving her to you, so I hope that you can have a smooth sailing journey in the future. " Noble Consort Guan said with sincerity.

Ruan Xiaonuan hesitated for a long time, but still rejected, "Elder sister, this jade pendant is too valuable, I cannot accept it."

"The most precious things are all worldly possessions. How can it be compared to the fate between you and me?" Noble Consort Guan gave the jade pendant to her.

She was well aware of the fact that she was short in hand and could not speak properly. She felt that the jade pendant in her hand was like a hot potato, she wanted nothing more than to throw it away. But when Noble Consort Guan looked at her with her burning gaze, she could only unwillingly accept it.

"I can't leave the palace, and Chen Er has the personality of a child. In the future, I'll trouble you to take care of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Estate." Noble Consort Guan said gently.

However, as Ruan Xiaonuan watched her hands constantly caress her stomach, she couldn't help but ask, "Elder sister, are you pregnant?"

She was surprised for a moment before she said, "That's right, but other than her parents and a few trusted aides, no one else knows about this." Her face glowed motherly, as if she was enveloped in a layer of soft light.

Ruan Xiaonuan didn't expect her guess to be right, and asked in astonishment, "Then does the emperor not know about this as well?"

Noble Consort Guan shook her head, "Xiao Wen, you have been in the palace for more than a year, so you should know a bit about the scheming and scheming in the palace, so I won't hide it from you."

When she was in the palace, she was always in Zhaoyang Palace, but regarding the battles between the concubines in the palace, she usually listened as if it was a story. Because he had never thought that it would be related to him, he did not put it to heart.

"Why is Big Sister hiding this from the emperor? Wouldn't it be safer if he knew? " she asked, puzzled.

"You are wrong. If His Majesty knew, it would be equivalent to all the women in the harem knowing. At that time, I also don't know if I would be able to safely give birth to this child." Noble Consort Guan said bitterly.

"Then, if you keep it hidden, it won't be easy. After all, it won't be long before your stomach becomes big." Although she was not pregnant, she had seen many palace dramas and knew a thing or two about the dangers involved.

How could the Noble Consort Guan not understand what she was saying? It was just that now was not the right time. A slightly apologetic look appeared on her face as he said, "Little Warm, the reason I let father take you as my adopted daughter was indeed because I wanted to rope you in. I hope you don't mind. "

This was something that Ruan Xiaonuan understood long ago, so she shook her head and said, "I understand your difficulties." And didn't she agree to it all for the sake of the Prime Minister's Palace? None of them could say who they were scheming against. Besides, the people of the Prime Minister's Estate were treating her sincerely, so they didn't have any regrets.

"What are you going to do now?" Ruan Xiaonuan asked.

Noble Consort Guan looked at her face. This face that she was extremely jealous of before was now filled with hatred. She thought that she no longer had the love she once had for that exalted monarch.

"Elder sister?" Ruan Xiaonuan saw her staring straight at him, without saying a word, she shouted out strangely.

Noble Consort Guan seemed to have awoken from a dream as she gently smiled and said, "Little Warm, are you planning to help me?"

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded noncommittally and replied, "I've agreed to do it ever since the day Prince and I agreed to become the foster daughter of the Prime Minister. Besides, we are a family now, and I can't possibly watch my nephew being bullied. "

Noble Consort Guan was originally the most suitable person to become the Empress in the palace, and she could not really help either. At most, she could comfort Madam I.

"Xiao Wen, thank you." Noble Consort Guan said with sincerity.

"The Emperor has arrived." The eunuch's shrill voice caused the two of them to temporarily end their conversation.

Ruan Xiaonuan considered that she was a pregnant woman and naturally walked over to support her, walking over together with her. Very quickly, she saw a bright yellow figure enter. The first person he saw was Ruan Xiaonuan, who had her head lowered. She asked in surprise, "Little Warm, when did you enter the palace?"

She took the opportunity to help Guan Wan up, afraid that she would lose control of her womb due to bending her legs for too long. After that, she replied, "Her Majesty summoned me to the palace and told me how to become a good princess."

She purposely imitated the empress dowager's tone to make everyone laugh. However, Ruan Xiaonuan could not laugh, because Gu Qingcheng was not an expert at lying. He had faked his shock just now, he knew that he had entered the palace, yet he pretended not to know. Just as she was at a loss, she saw a trace of loneliness flash across Guan Wan's face.

"Elder sister, I have been in the palace for quite some time. It's time for me to return. It just so happens that His Majesty is here too, so I won't disturb you guys any longer. " She said it tactfully, because she didn't want to be their light bulb. However, they didn't expect the two of them to have different expressions when they heard her words.
