The Eldest Princess

Chapter 50

The early morning sunlight poured in from the window, sprinkling on Wei Rong as he sat at the table reading, adding a touch of softness to the boy's cool and handsome appearance.

With one hand he gently twisted a light green rose, while with the other he absentmindedly turned the pages of a book.

As the fresh and elegant floral scent wafted into his nose, a question popped into his mind.

Last time, among the rose bushes in Qiluan Palace, he happened to catch a glimpse of a bud that had just emerged, and he wondered if it had bloomed.

It must be blooming.

After all, seventeen days have passed.

Probably already failed.

If you go and see it today, you probably won't even find the withered petals.

Today is the seventeenth day...

He was lost in thought and didn't notice Qian Fang's slightly cheerful footsteps.

As soon as Qian Fang came in, he saw his own prince reading a book that he had read many times.

Does the prince like it so much?

Should he go and say a few words to Her Royal Highness the Princess and ask for more books for the Crown Prince?

"Your Highness, the eldest princess is here."

The movement of his hands paused, Wei Rong unconsciously tried to hide the joy in his heart, not wanting others to notice

His eyelashes drooped, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and he asked calmly, "What is she doing here?"

"I don't know. Her Royal Highness the Princess is in the main hall talking to the Grand Empress Dowager, and the maids and eunuchs around her have brought in many supplements."

Thinking back to our previous conversation, we have to leave before June...

She probably came to discuss palace affairs with the Empress Dowager, which means she will be leaving in the next few days.

The joy receded like the tide, as if taking nothing away, leaving only a damp sense of loss.

He put down the jade-carved flower and murmured, "So, I'm leaving."

Qian Fang's attention was drawn to the movements of his hands and he didn't hear clearly what Wei Rong was saying.

As far as he remembered, this variety of Tianshan bamboo jade was only available in Ningxin Palace and Qiluan Palace. The prince has been staying with the eldest princess for a long time, so do they have similar hobbies?

Seeing that the prince did not stand up, but turned another page of the book, he asked in confusion: "Your Highness, are you not going to the main hall?"

"What am I going to do? The busy Princess would show up at this hour, so she must be here to discuss matters."

Qian Fang opened his eyes wide.

Why did he feel that the Crown Prince's tone was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange?

"Your Highness, are you really not going?"

Wei Rong felt relieved, and in order to suppress himself, he shook his head slightly.

Afraid that if Qian Fang asked again, he would eventually change his story, he quickly released the money.

But when the money was really lent out, he regretted it.

It can't be explained clearly.

He just felt that if he didn't go, he would feel uneasy. If he went, he would feel uncomfortable.

After finally getting through another day, Wei Rong only received the news that Xuan Fusang and Xuan Ruichen had bid farewell to the Empress Dowager.

After learning from the Empress Dowager that they had already left, Wei Rong was unable to react for a moment, and a dazed look appeared on his face.

"Fusang said that she told the people in the palace that if you go there, you can look through the things in the study at will."

Wei Rong felt so upset that even breathing became difficult for him.

He hasn't met her yet. If he had known...

The Empress Dowager saw him lower his eyes and smiled, "Rong'er, are you reluctant to leave?"

Wei Rong raised his eyes and asked sincerely, "What are you reluctant to part with? Didn't Fusang leave the book behind?"

When the Empress Dowager heard this, her smile became much more genuine.

Wei Rong sighed in his heart, he was really getting more and more used to lying.

No matter how you look at it, it's all because Fuso taught too well and too diligently.
