After seeing the others leave, A Ru immediately reverted to her true self.
"Sister, how did I do just now?" At this moment, A Ru seemed like an ungrown child in front of Mu Fengqie, waiting for praise from an elder.
"Our A Ru is so great. A Ru has grown up." Mu Fengqie was very gratified. She had been a bit worried that A Ru couldn't manage the affairs in the prince's mansion well, but unexpectedly, she did such a good job.
"Of course."
Mu Fengqie looked at A Ru with joy in her eyes and then glanced at her belly. It was almost three months. She would start to show soon.
"A Ru, you can't run and jump around like before recently. Do you understand?"
"I know, sister. You're as naggy as the imperial physician. I've heard these words so many times that my ears are about to grow calluses. Besides, there's still Yuan Yuhan. He follows me around all day long. He wishes I wouldn't go anywhere and just lie in bed.
Sister, you don't know how bored I am in the prince's mansion." If everyone in the prince's mansion heard this, they would surely refute loudly. Your Highness the Princess, you're not bored at all, okay?
The prince's mansion has almost been turned upside down by you. Even the secret guards who usually hide in the dark have been affected. Fortunately, Yuan Yuhan dotes on her enough, and A Ru is kind to others on weekdays, so the people in the mansion all like her.
"Okay, okay. It's my fault. But you can't always lie in bed. Otherwise, you may have a difficult delivery in the future. After I'm done with this busy period, I'll come to take care of you."
"Great, sister."
When Jing Xinche and Yuan Yuhan came in, they saw the two of them smiling happily.
"How about it? Has Mu Fengqie forgiven you?" Yuan Yuhan didn't know what had happened between them and asked with great interest.
"Yeah."
"Really forgiven you? So soon?"
"What did you say?" Jing Xinche stared at Yuan Yuhan with a cold look.
"Nothing... nothing. I just want to learn from you. In case I make A Ru angry in the future, I'll know how to make her happy."
"Humph, then let me know when the time comes." By then, he would surely take Qie'er to watch the fun and add fuel to the fire.
"Okay, you said it. Don't go back on your word." Poor Yuan Yuhan didn't sense Jing Xinche's ulterior motive.
"Of course. I always keep my word."
Later, one day when Yuan Yuhan came to ask Jing Xinche for help, Jing Xinche took A Ru to his mansion. The two of them enjoyed watching the fun so much that Yuan Yuhan was so angry that he shouted that he would break off their friendship. It was really a bad choice of friends.
"A Ru, are you tired? Let's go and sit over there. You're pregnant now, so be careful."
"I know..." A Ru said goodbye to Mu Fengqie and left while bickering with Yuan Yuhan all the way.
Mu Fengqie watched them leave with a smile on her lips. Suddenly, she felt someone hug her from behind. It was his familiar scent.
"What's wrong?"
"Qie'er, I'll also make you live such a life. You don't have to envy them." There's nothing to envy.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to fulfill your promise."
"Okay."
Soon, Yuan Yuchuan came. First, he had someone explain the rules, then he shot an arrow and hit a sika deer. Everyone cheered for him.
"I declare that the hunting competition now begins! The first-place finisher will be rewarded!"
People's interest was quickly piqued. Although they didn't know what the reward was, it must be good.
A Ru on the side originally wanted to go, but then she remembered that she was pregnant, so she gave up. Fortunately, Yuan Yuhan didn't go either and stayed to accompany her.
Mu Fengqie set off with Jing Xinche. She didn't expect to see her here.
"Why is she here?" She didn't expect Mu Xingrou to still be in the capital, and she seemed to be doing quite well.
"I heard that she saved a rich young master. To repay her, the young master kept her in the capital."
"Rich young master? Do you know which family he's from?"
"Seems to be from the Wang family. Why? Do you want to teach her a lesson?" He also knew that Mu Xingrou was not a good person. As long as Qie'er was happy, it would be okay to kill her.
"No. As long as she doesn't cause me trouble, I'm too lazy to care about her."
"Okay, let's go to other places. We don't want to see her and ruin our mood."
"Let's go."
Mu Xingrou was originally hunting with Young Master Wang, but she felt someone staring at her. She turned around and saw Mu Fengqie's back as she was leaving.
She felt that the back was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.
"What's wrong, Rou'er?" Young Master Wang asked Mu Xingrou.
"Nothing. I just felt like I saw a familiar person just now."
Young Master Wang followed Mu Xingrou's gaze and saw the backs of Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche.
"Seems to be the princess of Tianlin Kingdom and the Marquis of Zhongning."
Since Mu Xingrou had been living in a house outside the capital after saving Young Master Wang and had only recently come to the capital, she didn't know that the princess of Tianlin was Mu Fengqie.
"Yeah, let's go further ahead and take a look. I really want to know what the reward for the first place is."
"Okay, then let's try our best to win the first place."
"Okay." Mu Xingrou looked at Young Master Wang with bright eyes. Originally, she couldn't stay in the capital any longer and was about to leave, but fate was on her side. She saved Young Master Wang.
Later, she told him about her tragic experiences. Young Master Wang took pity on her and arranged for her to live in a manor outside the capital. He would also visit her from time to time. As time passed, the two of them gradually developed feelings for each other.
However, she knew that with her status, she could only be a concubine. But it didn't matter. Young Master Wang was very good to her. Even if she was just a concubine, she was willing.
Here, Jing Xinche and the others encountered a fox. Jing Xinche saw that the fox had very good fur and wanted to catch it to make a cloak for Mu Fengqie.
But Mu Fengqie stopped him. "That's a female fox. She's pregnant and about to give birth. Let's spare her."
"Okay."
But just as they were about to leave, an arrow flew past them and hit the fox's thigh. The fox let out a terrified cry.
Jing Xinche and the others looked in the direction of the arrow and found the princess of Huaman Kingdom.
"Marquis of Zhongning, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." Princess Hua looked at them haughtily.
"Princess Hua, why are you alone here? Not even a single guard is following you. Aren't you afraid something might happen to you? Can they bear the responsibility?"
"Humph, those useless guards walk too slowly. They're behind. I just walked a bit faster than them. I'll catch up with them soon. Besides, who would dare to harm me?"
Mu Fengqie watched Princess Hua looking so haughty and arrogant and shook her head secretly.
