Ruan Xiaonuan had already seen through what kind of person Chu Ying was, but she was still grateful to her, Zi Jin. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, she hurriedly said, "You should hurry and leave now. When the palace doors close at night, you will lose this opportunity."

Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, they had a great time talking to each other. When she left the palace this time, it was almost impossible to see her again. Ruan Xiaonuan's heart was filled with the sorrow of parting ways. She sent her to the palace gate, and carefully warned, "If they interrogate you, just say that His Highness sent you out, and no one will stop you."

Looking at Zi Jin's excited figure, she suddenly felt a little sad. Before this, she had been yearning for a life outside the palace, but now, she was afraid that she could no longer go out and take a look.

When they returned to the main hall, Gu Junxiu saw that she was upset and guessed what had happened. He comforted her, "In a few days, we will move out of the palace and build a prince's mansion outside. At that time, you can go outside and take a look."

Ruan Xiaonuan could not hold back her excitement and jumped up, and said with a sense of longing: "At that time, can I wear my daughter's clothes?"

She had almost forgotten how it looked like when she put on a long dress. There were too many people in the palace, so she could only look at it enviously. Gu Junxiu dotingly draped her long hair down, and carefully examined her face. Only when she slowly blushed did he look away and say, "Does this little fellow want to stink beautiful?"

Her tone was mocking. Ruan Xiaonuan retorted, not willing to be outdone, "I was a girl in the first place.

The last sentence was said very softly, and sounded a little coquettish. When Gu Junxiu saw her slightly red cheeks, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.

Few people knew that Zi Jin had left the palace. This was because she was a beauty without status in the first place. No one would care whether she was here or not.

It was only a few days later that Chu Ying found out that there was one less person in the palace. She was a little frightened, afraid that she would be the next person to be chased out of the palace. But in this palace, other than Hua Qingse, no one else would be willing to help her.

She told him about his anxiety, trying to get some comfort. However, Hua Qingse's expression did not change as he said, "If that's the case, then I'll make it out of the palace and lead a life that is as peaceful as the world."

Seeing that he was not only not comforting her, but also wanting her to leave the palace, Chu Ying pointed at him crazily, "If I don't leave the palace, as long as you give me some more time, I will definitely become Your Highness' woman."

She was a very proud person and thought that all the men in the world should surround her. He never thought that Gu Junxiu would not put her to heart at all. He had followed her every step of the way and everything he did was for others to see. Even his senior brother, who had adored him since he was young, had fallen for other women as well.

Jealousy made her lose her originally spotless heart, so she began to scheme against others. Hua Qingse looked at her in distress. It was in vain for him to call herself the genius Zhuge, but she couldn't think of a good idea in the current situation.

He faintly sighed, not giving up as he advised, "You have no power or power, no matter how hard you try, you are still just a concubine of Your Highness. Even if you really become his woman, but he will have the princess, then will there still be a place for you? Junior Sister, listen to Senior Brother's advice and follow me out of the palace. His Highness will not make things difficult for us. "

Chu Ying waved her sleeves, retreated a few steps, and said stubbornly, "Since I have already entered the palace, it is impossible for me to leave with you. Since you do not wish to help me, I will think of a way myself." Like a child, she turned around and left in a huff.

She thought that Hua Qingse would catch up to her and comfort her, just like how she did when they were young. However, after waiting for a long time and not hearing any footsteps behind her, she pretended to inadvertently turn around and only saw his back as she left.

Chu Ying realized that he seemed to be different from her, but she was unwilling. She stood there for a long time with an expression that was either a smile or a cry.

In Tzu Ning Palace, Ruan Xiaonuan sat there leisurely. SShe picked up a cup of tea and savored it like a regular customer. He looked at the people in the room helplessly. It was unknown who leaked the news in the imperial harem, but after hearing her story, Esteemed Empress Dowager was filled with endless praises. Thus, almost all of the high ranked concubines had come to the imperial harem. Ruan Xiaonuan was already exhausted after greeting them one by one, she had no mood to say anything.

However, seeing that many pairs of eyes were fixated on her and that if they were unhappy and were to be blown on the side by the emperor, even if she had Gu Junxiu, she would definitely have a painful time. So, she still obediently began to talk. If there was a shocking tree, she would really become a storyteller in the teahouse.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, those nobles finally decided to leave. She hurriedly drank several cups of tea before her throat could finally calm down. Just as he was about to bow to the empress dowager and leave, the person sitting in the highest seat said, "Wait, I still has something to tell you."

Left her alone? Ruan Xiaonuan immediately felt her hair stand on end, as she entered a state of extreme nervousness. She followed the empress dowager in as if she was treading on thin ice. When she stole a glance and saw that there was no smile on her face, she became even more worried. Could it be that Esteemed Empress Dowager also saw through her identity? She could not help but guess.

Little droplets of sweat appeared on her forehead, and Gui mama couldn't help but ask curiously, "Little Eunuch Ruan, are you really afraid of heat? Even though it's midsummer, with ice cubes in the Tzu Ning Palace, I probably won't be able to feel the summer heat. "

Ruan Xiaonuan quickly replied, "Thank you mama for your concern, I'm more afraid of heat." She wiped the sweat from her forehead with an overly wide sleeve.

"Little Warm, how about you take a look at these paintings?" Esteemed Empress Dowager's voice sounded beside their ears, Ruan Xiaonuan did not dare to delay any further, and picked up all the drawings on the table one by one.

These words were all a picture of a beauty. The women in it all had their own talents, but they all had the manners of a lady from a noble family. He was extremely suspicious and anxiously waited for the Esteemed Empress Dowager to continue speaking.

"Ah Xiu is already twenty-five this year, but he is still alone with no one by his side who knows about warmth and coldness. Although he had someone serving his, but no matter how hard he tried, it couldn't compare to having a virtuous wife. I felt that she owed him a lot, so he had to help him pick a perfect princess who possessed both talent and looks, and had a clean background. "

If she did not understand what the Empress meant, then all these years had been wasted. However, what she did not understand was, why would Gu Junxiu discuss his marriage with her, a mere eunuch? Furthermore, he even asked her to look at the portraits of these ladies. Could it be that she would have to help him pick them out?
