However, Princess An covered up the past like this, but Ah Ru did not.
After discussing matters with King An the next day, she said sadly: "Your Majesty, after you become the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, Ah Ru will leave the palace."
King An was quite surprised. He looked at her and asked, "Why? Don't you stay with me? Didn't you say that you want to see me ascend to the throne of God?"
Ah Ru forced a smile and said, "You are dedicated to assisting the prince, but this road is far more difficult than Ah Ru thought before. You are nameless and have no status. Ah Ru doesn't care. You can bear the gossip, but, Ah Ru
You are afraid of hurting the feelings of the prince and the princess, especially since the princess is pregnant now and cannot get angry. You know that the prince has been looking forward to the prince for a long time and hopes that this time he can get his wish."
Prince An said: "The princess has always been generous and will not care about these things with you. You and her can almost have no contact with each other. Just show up in front of her less in the future. Don't worry about the rest."
Aru said clearly: "The princess is generous, and Aru has no evil thoughts in her heart. She is afraid that Youyou's words will be difficult to stop, and she will eventually say something that will hurt the princess. Your Majesty, you don't need to persuade her anymore, Aru has already decided to leave."
"
King An looked at her, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Aru had been following him for such a long time, and he knew exactly what she was thinking about.
She clearly knew that he couldn't leave her now, and he threatened to leave her, but she couldn't bear it anymore.
King An saw through it but did not say it. He just said calmly: "I know that I have wronged you over the years. Don't worry, I will not treat you badly. The princess asked me to marry you as a concubine last night. If you
If you are willing, I will report it to my father."
Ah Ru was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
A trace of surprise flashed in Wang An's eyes, but he quickly put it away and said, "Yeah!"
She was mentioned as a concubine more than once, and King An was also happy to mention it, because he knew that A Ru did not take the position of concubine seriously, and she would refuse it once.
But if she refused, it was a refusal. King An proposed it, which was regarded as giving her a reward, but she didn't want it.
King An liked this kind of game that didn't require any effort, and he never tired of it, but he didn't expect that Aru would agree this time.
What a smart man King An is? He understood immediately.
It's not that Ah Ru looked down on the position of concubine, it was just that she couldn't get the position of the main concubine, so she settled for the second best. She didn't give up on being his main concubine, but she just chose to take it one step at a time and no longer expected to reach the sky in one step.
King An didn't want to have a concubine at all. He wanted his father to see that he was only concentrating on state and military affairs and not being delayed by women in the inner court.
But a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Once he proposes and you agree, he must do it, otherwise you may not be loyal to him in the future.
I relied on her for too many things before, and for a while, I couldn't find anyone to replace her. Moreover, Ah Ru was reliable and thorough in doing things, so I knew that he had too many things to do and couldn't be replaced.
He sent Ah Ru away and went back to the house to inform Princess An of the matter.
After hearing this, Princess An smiled and said, "It's really time to give her a position, lest outsiders say that Prince An's palace has treated her badly."
Prince An stroked her face and asked, "Do you care? If you care, I will have a way to solve it."
Princess An's smile deepened, "Why do you care? This is what I proposed. Your Majesty just does what you do. And I am pregnant now. There will be a time when I can't serve you. You have to have someone by your side. This person can't be unknown."
If you don't have an identity, you will be wronging the prince."
