730 Anger (3)
If Pei Lang was looking for her, he must have something very important to tell her.
There were many coincidences in the world. Today, Princess Rong Xin also entered the palace.
She was not in good health and had become thinner and thinner in the past few years. She rarely went to the palace, but today, she came anxiously. The palace guard was about to go and report when Princess Rong Xin waved her hand and said, “I have something to discuss with my brother. There’s no need to inform him.”
The guards at the palace gate did not dare to stop her. Although Princess Rong Xin did not show up much now, she was still the daughter of the late emperor and had a stubborn personality. If they angered her, they would not have a good time, so they could only let her through.
The palace maid wanted to find a sedan chair for Princess Rong Xin, but she was rejected by Princess Rong Xin. Princess Rong Xin said, “Let’s take the shortcut. Sedan chair is too cumbersome.”
Princess Rong Xin was anxious. She did not interfere in the matters of the imperial court and stayed in her mansion every day. If not for the fact that she happened to pass by the courtyard and heard the servants talking about Shen Miao, she would not have known that the royal family wanted to marry Shen Miao to the crown prince. Other than doing this for Xie Jingxing’s sake, Princess Rong Xin also wanted to protect Shen Miao because she liked her. As a member of the royal family, Princess Rong Xin knew very well that if a woman married into the royal family, she would not be happy even if her life was glorious. Moreover, Shen Miao was not a woman who was into wealth and power.
Princess Rong Xin was in a hurry to find Emperor Wen Hui, hoping to change her brother’s mind, so she took a shortcut.
Shen Miao arrived at a remote pavilion.
This pavilion was hidden in the garden by a long corridor. There were a few rooms in the corridor that were a place to hide. Pei Lang walked out of one of those rooms.
The young eunuch stood guard outside for the two of them. Shen Miao nodded at Pei Lang and asked, “Mr. Pei, what’s so urgent that you want to talk here?”
“Prince Ding has sealed off the mansion, so I can’t send you a letter.” Pei Lang said, “It was Prince Ding who suggested that the crown prince marry you.”
Shen Miao raised an eyebrow. Seeing that she was not surprised, Pei Lang asked, “You know it already?”
“I guessed it was him,” Shen Miao said indifferently. “WIth the crown prince’s intelligence, he wouldn’t be able to come up with this.”
Pei Lang was a little puzzled. Shen Miao talked as if she was extremely familiar with the crown prince and Fu Xiuyi. However, Shen Miao was just a girl and did not have the chance to interact with the princes at all. How could she know the princes’ personalities? Even Shen Xin might not be as familiar with the princes as Shen Miao.
This desolate garden had once been haunted, so almost no one passed by. Therefore, Pei Lang was not worried that someone would eavesdrop on them. He frowned and said, “What do you plan to do about the marriage?”
Shen Miao was a little surprised. Pei Lang had always been a person who would not put personal emotions into his analysis of the overall situation. It was rare for him to ask her about this. After all, what she thought about this marriage was unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
