Chapter 345 - 330: Second Update
Zheng Nianru had slept until the afternoon; Prince Duan personally visited several times. Seeing that Zheng Nianru was sleeping soundly, he did not disturb her until evening, when Zheng Nianru finally woke up fully.
Zheng Nianru was not in a hurry to wake up; she sat on the bed, meticulously recalling the warmth in the carriage. Zheng Nianru lowered her head, realizing that it was such a good opportunity she had forsaken—how foolish she was. Based on her understanding of Zheng Congyuan, she could have asked for much more. In the past, had she been wronged, she would have ensured Zheng Congyuan compensated her manifold; things from Zheng Congyuan’s treasury that she always wanted, those unique treasures, she could have asked for things she normally wouldn’t dare to.
But suddenly, Zheng Nianru found that she was no longer interested in those things; she knew almost better than Zheng Congyuan himself what was in his treasury. Maybe it was because she had become the Empress Dowager, and being accustomed to finer things, she now found them dull.
"Commandery Princess, the Prince is still waiting to dine with you," Nanny Yun said with a bit of concern, whispering.
Fu Dong glanced at Nian Xia, and that look said it all; they naturally noticed that the Commandery Princess’s moments of daydreaming were growing longer. Sometimes she would sit without moving an entire afternoon, if they didn’t call her.
The former Commandery Princess was not like this; she couldn’t sit still. Could it be that something went wrong due to her near-drowning?
Of course, it wasn’t only Fu Dong and Nian Xia who thought this; Nanny Yun and the others had been with the Commandery Princess for many years. The Commandery Princess had indeed changed a lot in these recent days. As for how exactly she had changed, by the time they realized it, the Commandery Princess was still the same as before, yet she was no longer the same Commandery Princess.
"Commandery Princess..." Just as Nanny Yun was about to speak again, Zheng Nianru had already turned over, got out of bed, and lazily glanced at the clothes set aside.
"Choose a simpler set; I’m not going out anyway."
