As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

The Crown Prince in front of him had already separated from Master He, so He Yue didn't dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.

He Yue knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, her voice trembling, "I, a humble woman, kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ning Rushong sat on a mahogany chair, looking down at He Yue who was kneeling in worship. Her body was trembling slightly, and her face could not be seen clearly. Only her snow-white and delicate neck was particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of her black hair.

She is undoubtedly very docile now. She has lost her former aggressiveness and her courage has become as small as a sesame seed.

"Get up." Ning Rushong withdrew his gaze and took a sip of tea.

"Thank you, Your Highness." He Yue stood up and respectfully, with mixed thoughts in her mind.

He Yue suddenly thought of her previous attitude towards Ning Rushong. To put it bluntly, it was enough to charge her with disrespect!

Ning Rusong put down the cup and said in a soothing and cold tone, "I once asked you if you wanted to follow me or if you wanted some money."

"I will ask you again now, what is your answer?"

What was the answer? He Yue lowered her head, carefully choosing her words, trying not to make any mistakes.

"It is a great blessing for me to be able to share the hardships with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

What bad luck! The yard was burned down and people were chasing us.

"I am a widow who lost her husband. I know I am not worthy of entering the backyard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

So give her money and tell her to get lost!

"So, I, a common woman..." Before He Yue could finish her words, she was caught off guard and her face was lifted up by a hand.

The cold woody scent filled He Yue's sense of smell. She was forced to half-tilt her head. Ning Rushong's elegant and indifferent face was very close to her. She couldn't see through those deep eyes and only felt horrified and appalled.

Ning Rusong stroked the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, slightly bringing out some redness, "He Yue, this is a major event in your life after all, think about it carefully for a few days and then give me an answer."

He thought He Yue was still a naive person, and she actually thought that he was giving her a choice.

He Yue didn't dare to disobey immediately, so she could only nod and agree, "I will think about it carefully."

Her pretty little face turned pale, obviously she was frightened.

Ning Rusong let go of his hand and said, "Go out."

"I'm leaving." He Yue quickly bowed and left. She didn't want to stay with Ning Rushong at all.

A dog thing that only knows how to scare people!

Ning Rushong looked at her flustered back. In fact, her etiquette was a little inappropriate, but this was normal. After all, she had stayed in the countryside for a long time.

There will naturally be a tutor to teach her in the future.

When I walked out of the door, I found that two maids were already waiting there.

One of the maids named Xiao Xing bowed respectfully to He Yue and said, "Miss He, please follow me. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arranged a courtyard for you."

Normally, a widow should not be called a girl, but this was the order from their superiors, so they naturally followed it.

The governor's mansion was very large, with many courtyards. He Yue was taken to a courtyard called Lan Ge, which was very spacious and elegant.

After entering, they found that there were two maids inside. When they saw He Yue coming, they smiled and greeted her, "Miss He is here."

He Yue couldn't help but feel that it was exaggerated and shocked. She felt that she was not suitable to stay here, and she felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

This is just a governor's mansion.

…………

Three days passed in a flash, and He Yue did not see Ning Rushong again during this period.

Ning Rushong is very busy, with too many government affairs piled up and instructions requiring his decision-making.

When the court officials of the crown prince's faction learned that the crown prince was fine, they changed their previous sluggish attitude. The faction of Prince Rong, which had just begun to gain momentum, was pressed back into the mud. The emperor watched from the sidelines in silence, as if the assassination of the crown prince had nothing to do with him.

In the pavilion, He Yue was holding a round embroidery frame and embroidering flowers carefully.

In the past, she ran a rouge shop and was busy every day. Now that she had some free time, she felt uncomfortable everywhere, so she started learning embroidery, which was quite interesting.

Mrs. Feng, who was sitting opposite He Yue, took a quick look and flattered, "Your embroidery is getting better and better. The flowers are really lifelike. You can try making some waist belts in the future."

A waist belt is a man's item, so it was obvious that Mrs. Feng had something else in mind.

He Yue stopped what she was doing, looked up at Madam Feng, and said in a gentle tone, "Madam Feng, you are joking. I am just a widow. Why would I make a waist belt?"

They always like to hide their true intentions in their words, and she gets tired of listening to them.

Besides, Mrs. Feng is very good at lying. She has only learned it for two days, but the embroidery she made is horrible.

"It will always be useful." Mrs. Feng smiled meaningfully.

Mrs. Feng actually admired He Yue very much. It turned out that a country woman could catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She would be extremely precious if she entered the Eastern Palace in the future.

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the next emperor. Prince Rong is like a grasshopper in autumn. He is about to die, but he is unwilling to jump.

Mrs. Feng looked at He Yue and sighed in her heart. She was indeed a gorgeous beauty. She was wearing a green shirt and silk brocade skirt, and a simple jade and gold hairpin, which made her look even more gorgeous.

Xiao Xing and another maid named Ziyue were sorting out the embroidery threads for He Yue. Since she was new to the craft, all kinds of threads were always mixed together.

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside the pavilion. A beautiful woman in a maid's clothes was running away recklessly, with several servants chasing after her.

"Is this going to be a big fuss?" Mrs. Feng frowned, but her tone was still calm, "Don't you know there is a distinguished guest? Xiang'er, go and take a look."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid named Xiang'er hurried to the outside of the pavilion.

Soon, the reckless and beautiful maid was dragged away by several servants, with a sad and numb expression.

The distance was quite far, and He Yue couldn't hear what they were talking about. She put the embroidery stand aside, and Xiao Xing picked it up and put it in the basket.

Xiang'er happened to come back at this time. She reported respectfully, "That maid didn't keep her duty and seduced the Third Young Master. Now she doesn't want to be the Third Young Master's concubine, so she ran away."

"Who holds the maid's bond?" Mrs. Feng lazily stroked her hair, glanced at Xiang'er and asked in a casual tone.

Xiang'er replied, "Madam, she has just been transferred to the Third Young Master's place, and her indenture is still under the management of the steward."

Madam Feng waved her hand and moved the jade bracelet on her arm downwards. "Give the indenture to the Third Young Master as a favor."

The third young master is a bastard, and Madam Feng hopes that he will become addicted to women and even ruin his body.

He Yue had mixed feelings. The maid was obviously forced and might be punished even worse in the future.

Her long eyelashes trembled. Forget it. She could hardly protect herself, so how could she care about the suffering of others?

Then He Yue stood up and bowed to Madam Feng, "Madam Feng, I feel a little tired, so I will go back to Lan Pavilion first."

"Goodbye, Miss He." Mrs. Feng stood up and returned the greeting, smiling generously and gracefully.

After He Yue left, Mrs. Feng commented, "She was frightened, but she has a pure personality."

"But people will always change, so they just need to be tempered." After saying this, Mrs. Feng took Xiang'er's hand and turned to leave. She had come there just to keep people company.
