Chapter 423 - 402: Second Update
Zheng Nianru was utterly bored and regretted stepping out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. At her age, even getting angry over such things seemed unconvincing and lacked vigor.
Fu Dong and Nian Xia followed their Commandery Princess, not daring to even breathe loudly until they boarded the carriage, only to discover that their Commandery Princess seemed as calm as if she hadn’t been angry at all.
Zheng Nianru felt she hadn’t been very angry, not even as interested as in her past life. Zheng Nianru thought that if, in her previous life, Zheng Congyuan had agreed to her, and Empress Xiao had sent the palace maid, she might have persuaded Zheng Congyuan to keep her, to ease tensions with Empress Xiao so they could at least meet and stand together calmly. Wasn’t she always sacrificing something?
But now, she felt that she might not have such temperament. The habits formed in her previous life weren’t things she could change just because she was reasonable.
Nanny Yun also glanced suspiciously at Fu Dong, wondering what was going on. They hadn’t even had lunch, and rushing back now would mean missing the meal, something Fu Dong and Nian Xia naturally didn’t dare to question.
"Commandery Princess, I’ve heard that Riverfood Restaurant has introduced some new dishes recently—the names sound quite fresh."
"Then let’s go—" Zheng Nianru suddenly felt like listening to that song, but she knew that by going like this, it was merely a matter of facing it; whenever she was agitated, the song had a magical power that calmed her down.
However, as Zheng Nianru had guessed, Nanyi, now having silver, naturally wouldn’t do such things again. He took his reputation very seriously and even later, when he held significant military power and could truly look her in the eye, Nanyi still valued his moral conduct highly, not having a mother who might butt in on a whim.
So, Zheng Nianru didn’t meet Ju Nanyi, nor did she get to hear the music as she wished, but it didn’t matter. Zheng Nianru’s disposition was unusually good, although she found no interest in anything and instructed to head straight back after leaving the Riverfood Restaurant.
