Chapter 537: He’s Here
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Country K was a country with an imbalance in the ratio of men to women. There were more women than men in the country. Since ancient times, there had been a traditional culture of polygamy.
In modern times, there were still some who insisted on polygamy.
The royal family had always maintained this custom.
In Nangong Xiao’s harem, other than the queen, there were also two consorts, Consort Ya and Consort Li, as well as countless concubines.
When they learned that Nangong Xiao had taken a commoner girl outside the palace and was about to take her into the palace, and even arranged for her to live in Fairspring Palace, the concubines and concubines in the harem could not sit still.
Princess Ya was a concubine that the Queen had helped to ascend. After the Queen gave birth to Nangong Han, she had two miscarriages and was unable to conceive again. He had never given birth to an heir. In order to stabilize his position, he supported Princess Ya to ascend the throne.
Princess Ya had been in the palace for four to five years and had always been Nangong Xiao’s favorite princess.
Wen Ruan entering the palace made Princess Ya feel a sense of crisis.
In the back garden, Princess Ya looked at the queen who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea elegantly. There was a hint of anxiety on her bright and charming face.” Queen, did you see that girl when you attended the S Group’s anniversary celebration with the King the night before?”
Wang Fei placed the teacup on the table and looked at Princess Ya, who could no longer keep her cool.” She’s just a little girl, what are you panicking for? Your position in the palace is unshakable except for me.”
“I’m afraid that the King will only have eyes for that commoner girl in the future.”
“Are you that unconfident in yourself?”
Princess Ya tidied her exquisite hair accessories and smiled.” That’s not it.”
“Let’s wait and see.”
..
Wen Ruan was brought to the Fountain Palace. The interior was luxuriously decorated. A huge crystal chandelier hung down from the ceiling. There were retro and magnificent murals hanging on the walls. Everything had the aura of nobility.
“Hello, Miss Wen. I’m Mary.”
“I’m Betty.
“We were sent by the King to serve you.”
Wen Ruan nodded at the two maids who were dressed in maid attire.” Hello.”
“Miss Wen, let’s take you around the palace!”
Wen Ruan replied,” Alright.”
Wen Ruan walked around Fairspring Palace and ate before going to bed to rest.
In the afternoon, she was woken up by Betty.” Miss Wen, the King is here.”
Upon hearing that Nangong Xiao had arrived, Wen Ruan took out a silver needle and pricked her acupoints a few times.
When she went downstairs, her face was pale. Nangong Xiao frowned when he saw her expression.” What happened?” Why do you look so pale?”
Wen Ruan lowered her long eyelashes slightly and said weakly,” My stomach doesn’t feel well.”
Nangong Xiao called Betty over and was about to ask her to call a doctor over. Wen Ruan quickly said,” Women have problems every month. They’ll be fine in a few days.”
Bei Di immediately reacted.” Is Miss Wen on her period?”
Wen Ruan nodded.
Nangong Xiao’s furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but soon, he furrowed them again.
She had just entered the palace and her period was already here. Wouldn’t he not be able to touch her for a few days?
Nangong Xiao was a little disappointed. He wanted Wen Ruan to accompany him, but when he saw her pale face, he waved his hand and said,” Rest well for the next few days.”
“Thank you, King.”
After Nangong Xiao left, Wen Ruan returned to her room and heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Nangong Xiao wouldn’t come over for the next few nights.
She wanted to find an opportunity to meet the deposed queen. She wanted to know where the old king lived so that she could verify his relationship with Nangong Xiao.
For two days, Nangong Xiao did not come to Fairspring Palace again.
Princess Ya had been paying attention to the news of the Beautiful Spring Palace. When she learned that Nangong Xiao had never set foot there, she sent a maid to invite Wen Ruan over.
Wen Ruan was not interested in Nangong Xiao’s harem. She would leave soon, but the other women who wanted to fight for his favor would not let her off easily.
This was the first time Princess Ya had seen Wen Ruan in person. She was tall, slender, and elegant. She wore a long white dress that made her look like a fairy from the Jade Lake. No wonder Nangong Xiao liked her. She was indeed a rare beauty.
Princess Ya sized Wen Ruan up and her lips curled into a faint smile.” You are the new concubine that the King has recruited?”
Wen Ruan looked at the graceful woman and pursed her lips.” May I know why Princess Ya is looking for me?”
“Susan, tell her the rules.”
A maid in a maid’s uniform came over with a cup of tea.” Kneel down and serve Princess Ya tea. In the future, Princess Ya will be your backer in the palace.”
Wen Ruan had never thought of forming a clique in the palace or relying on anyone, but if she openly went against Princess Ya now, it would not do her any good.
Taking the teacup, Wen Ruan bowed and handed it to Princess Ya.
Princess Ya stretched out her slender fingers. When Wen Ruan handed her the teacup, she deliberately did not catch it properly, and the hot tea in the teacup spilled out.
A few drops landed on the back of Princess Ya’s hand, and her fair skin immediately turned red.
“Wen Ruan, how dare you burn Princess Ya!”Susan immediately pushed Wen Ruan away.
Wen Ruan knew that Princess Ya had deliberately scalded her. She pursed her lips slightly and did not say anything.
“Wen Ruan, the King likes this princess ‘hands the most. I want to see how you explain this to the King!”
“Princess Consort, I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Princess Ya gave Susan a look, and Susan immediately brought over a large plate of crabs.
“You can peel these crabs. Once you’re done, I won’t argue with you.”
Wen Ruan lowered her long eyelashes. After a moment of silence, she nodded.” Alright.”
She picked up the tools to peel the crab and was about to start. Princess Ya frowned.” Wear gloves and peel it. I don’t like to hear the sound of knocking.”
Wen Ruan naturally understood that Princess Ya was just making things difficult for her, not because she wanted to eat the crab.
Wen Ruan peeled it for nearly two hours. Her delicate fingers were pricked by the sharp shell and a few of her fingers were bleeding.
When she left Princess Ya’s palace, her fingers hurt badly.
Betty had come with Wen Ruan. She had seen how Princess Ya was making things difficult for her.” Miss Wen, even if you are not feeling well, you should not have let the King leave.”
If she was favored by the Lord, Princess Consort Ya wouldn’t have made things difficult for her so blatantly.
Wen Ruan didn’t care about these things. When she arrived at Fairspring Palace, she went straight to her room.
She looked down at her fingers and frowned slightly. Just as she was about to enter the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.
“Enter.”
A tall figure walked in with a pot of plants in his hand.” Miss Wen, these are the plants you want to decorate your room with.”
Wen Ruan pointed at a corner.” Put it there!”
The man walked over and placed the green plants properly before walking towards Wen Ruan. He did not leave but stood in front of Wen Ruan and pulled her finger.
Wen Ruan was shocked by the man’s actions. She wanted to retract her hand, but he held it tightly in his palm.
“You…”
“It’s me.”
