This day.
An Xin was reading in her room when she saw the silhouette quickly approaching her and said excitedly, "Miss, the prince is here!"
An Xin was a little confused when she heard this and looked up at her.
Silhouette continued, "Old Madam, I want you to go to the main hall and meet the prince together."
Only then did An Xin put down the things in her hands and said casually: "Let's go."
"Miss, aren't you going to dress up?" asked Silhouette.
Jianying thought that since the young lady's fiancé had arrived, it would be better for her to dress up and go there.
"No need to dress up. It's not good to keep my grandmother and the others waiting for a long time." An Xin replied, but she was thinking in her heart, do I need to dress up to meet the prince
At this time, the silhouette seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, Miss, the guy from Mingyuexuan is there too."
The one from Mingyuexuan? Isn't that An Rou
An Xin snorted coldly and said, "As expected, she always wants to get involved in everything."
The main hall of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
Madam An was chatting with Ning Mu. An Rou, who was sitting beside them, was petite and cute. She would occasionally chime in, looking very well behaved.
As soon as An Xin entered the main hall, she saw the old lady and Ning Mu.
"Greetings to the prince, and greetings to grandmother!" An Xin said while bowing.
Seeing An Xin coming, the old lady quickly pulled her to her side and said to Ning Mu: "Xin'er happened to be here, today I will discuss the marriage between you two with the prince."
An Xin listened to what was said and deliberately showed a hint of shyness, which made her look more beautiful than flowers.
At this moment, An Xin was thinking, is it true that I can't escape this? Didn't my grandmother tell me that I have to wait two years
An Rou's heart skipped a beat. If they got engaged and An Xin entered the Eastern Palace as the Crown Princess, then even if she won the Crown Prince's heart, she would still be inferior to An Xin in the palace.
This is something she can't tolerate!
"Miss An is already sixteen years old this year, and it's time for her to move in." Ning Mu said with a swaying face.
When Madam An heard Ning Mu say this, she looked at everyone present calmly and said, "It is true that I have reached old age, but I would like to ask the prince to let Xin'er stay with me for a few more years. After all, I am old and will not live much longer."
Ning Mu had originally intended to find out something today.
After the court session, he went to the Anguo Mansion to test the mansion's attitude. In fact, his real purpose was to marry An Rou.
"The old lady is in good health, and she will surely live a long and healthy life in the future!" Ning Mu replied, and then he continued: "If the old lady wants to keep Miss An for a few years, then let her stay."
Then, he looked at An Rou lovingly and said to Madam An: "In fact, the reason I came here today is, firstly, to see what the Duke of Anguo's Mansion means, and secondly..."
At this point, Ning Mu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After all, Madam An was a person who had seen a lot of ups and downs. When she saw Ning Mu's expression, she knew that the Crown Prince had taken a fancy to her illegitimate granddaughter.
Feeling somewhat unhappy, he did not continue to listen to what Ning Mu said.
Seeing that Madam An didn't respond, Ning Mu had no choice but to continue: "Secondly, I like Second Miss An and would like to take her into the mansion as a concubine!"
When An Rou heard the word "concubine", she felt a little uneasy. If she was the concubine, then the principal concubine would be that little bitch An Xin!
She won't allow it!
An Rou was thinking in confusion.
When Old Madam An was at the Daxiangguo Temple, she discovered that An Rou was a restless person. If she came into the mansion with Xin'er and had any second thoughts, how could Xin, who was not very smart, defeat An Rou
She has seen many examples of sisters turning against each other in the backyard!
It just so happened that Madam An also wanted to test Anrou, so she asked: "Girl Rou, are you willing to follow the prince into the mansion?"
Seeing that the two turned their eyes to her, An Xin stood up and bowed, saying softly: "My granddaughter also wants to stay with my grandmother for a few more years. Besides, this elder sister is not married yet, so it seems inappropriate for my granddaughter to go forward and enter the mansion."
Ning Mu saw that An Rou was speaking with reason and logic. Although he was dissatisfied with her rejection of his request, seeing that An Rou was so filial and gentle, his dissatisfaction was somewhat dissipated.
Seeing that An Rou was so obedient, Old Madam An looked at her with more favor.
An Xin listened from the side and thought: This An Rou is really not a good person.
Madam An acted somewhat embarrassed and said to Ning Mu: "After seeing what these two children said, I think this matter should be considered in the long run."
Ning Mu saw that his goal for today could not be achieved, and he was a little uninterested, but he did not show it. He said: "These two young ladies are so filial, I will certainly help them."
An Xin just watched them from the side and sneered in her heart.
It’s not that An Rou doesn’t want to marry into the Prince’s Mansion, it’s just that she wants to be the principal wife.
Look at the thorny look in her eyes as she looks at him, and the sour aura she exudes.
Seeing that Ning Mu had no objection, Madam An said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for fulfilling my selfish wish."
She also felt that opportunities should be created for young people, so the old lady made an excuse and suggested: "I am a little tired, why not let these two girls accompany the prince to stroll around the back garden."
"Very good." Ning Mu stood up and agreed.
Because Mrs. An's residence also had to pass through the back garden, she walked with the three of them.
Ning Mu and the old lady walked forward, while An Rou walked in a row with An Xin.
After all, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is as powerful as China and Japan, so Ning Mu's attitude towards the old lady is still very good.
An Xin and An Rou walked side by side, followed by a group of maids.
At this time, several people came to the lake in the back garden. An idea came to their mind and they deliberately walked towards the water.
Then he whispered to An Rou: "Today the prince wants to marry you, why don't you agree to come to the mansion? Otherwise, you can scout the way for me."
When An Rou heard An Xin mention this matter, she felt a little angry.
It's all because of you! Otherwise, she would have married into the prince's mansion and become the noble princess!
But An Rou took into consideration the presence of others, so she said softly, "If you enter the mansion first, you will have the upper hand and will have a better chance of winning the prince's heart. Big sister will also become the crown princess in the future. If Rou'er enters the mansion earlier, I'm afraid it will be unfair to her."
An Xin sneered, what a sharp tongue he has, he can even turn black into white!
Since she wants to act, she will accompany her to the end!
An Xin acted surprised and touched, and said: "I didn't know my sister thought this way. I thought she was targeting me on purpose, so I ignored her. Now I think it was me who was narrow-minded. After all, we are still a family."
An Xin looked at the prince, pretending to be in love and shy, and said with a spring in her eyes: "In fact, it would be great if my sister could enter the mansion as a concubine. In this way, you and I can serve the prince together!"
An Rou suspected that An Xin said these on purpose.
But looking at her innocent face, he shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking.
After all, if she was really pretending, why would she let herself be played around with for so many years
