Chapter 55 Coaxing
Zheng Nianru got into the carriage without showing any emotion and sat down on the soft cushion beside Zheng Congyuan.
Was this anger? Court affairs? What disaster had happened again? Or were the factions within the court too outrageous in their alliances?
Fu Dong glared fiercely at Qi Zhu, what kind of situation was this, making her ride outside the carriage too?
Qi Zhu quickly bowed, Miss, please get on quickly, didn’t you see that they’re angry?
"Drive—" The servant driving the carriage was very experienced, driving fast and steady, and circled around the large troop heading towards the leading group at the forefront.
Zheng Nianru thought for a while but couldn’t figure out what could be troubling Zheng Congyuan at this time, as he was still the Crown Prince revered by the ministers.
Zheng Congyuan was adept at handling the contention between the factions and, under everyone’s watch, gradually nurtured a new force for the imperial court. A group of intellectuals would later become the pillars of Nanzheng State, and this was the cleverness of Zheng Congyuan.
So, what could make him angry?
But Zheng Nianru disliked seeing his silent demeanor, which easily led her to contemplate the future, and besides, considering the care Zheng Congyuan had shown her over the years, Zheng Nianru definitely should coax him a bit.
Zheng Nianru moved closer to Zheng Congyuan and reached out to grab his sleeve, but before her fingers could touch the fabric, Zheng Congyuan withdrew it, leaving the sleeve to fly through the air and Zheng Nianru grasping at nothing.
Zheng Nianru was startled and couldn’t quite remember if she was often faced with such situations at this time.
