The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Chapter 1094: I Need to See You Urgently

Seeing the embroidery frame Ruru had casually tossed on the couch, Wu Miaomiao was stunned. "Th-this... what is this?"Ruru chuckled. "The peony I embroidered."

Wu Miaomiao looked at the white silk, where the stitches were a complete mess, colors all jumbled, outlines blurry—just one glance made her head spin.

After a long while, she finally squeezed out a sentence. "How about... letting Xiao Lu help you embroider it."

Ruru shook her head. "That won’t do. Wouldn’t that be cheating?"

You should know, getting it to look like this had already taken her a huge amount of effort.

Because she’d had no mother since she was little, Gu Yunjiao had been very worried that when Ruru got engaged in the future, the groom’s family would say she’d had no proper upbringing because of this, so she paid special attention to her education and had hired a female handiwork instructor from early on to teach her embroidery and dressmaking.

She had started handling needle and thread at seven or eight. Her embroidery couldn’t compare to that of professional embroideresses, but among the young ladies, it was definitely outstanding.

Wu Miaomiao sighed. "Forget it. Anyway, you already have someone in your heart and don’t want to be a Prince Consort."

After eating, Wu Miaomiao went back to embroidering. She rarely embroidered at home; if she didn’t hurry up, what would she hand in three days from now?

The Empress and the Imperial Concubine would publicly comment on the handkerchiefs that were handed in. She didn’t care whether she was chosen as a Prince Consort, but she absolutely couldn’t embarrass herself in public.

Seeing Wu Miaomiao studying so hard, Ruru didn’t disturb her and went out into the courtyard for a walk to digest her food.

There were several other girls playing in the courtyard. When they saw Ruru, their expressions were a bit complicated.

Without a doubt, Jiang Ruru was their biggest rival.

Still, no matter how much they disliked Ruru in their hearts, they went over with smiling faces to greet her.

The brainless ones had already left; the girls who remained had at least a bit of sense.

Ruru smiled as she returned their greetings. After strolling a few circles in the courtyard, a palace maid came in from outside, walked up to Ruru and saluted, then lowered her voice and said, "Miss Jiang, the Fourth Prince has something to discuss with you. He’s waiting for you over by Xuanyue Pavilion."

Ruru moved to step forward on reflex, but after two steps she suddenly stopped, looked at the palace maid and said, "Go tell him it’s not convenient for me to go out."

With that, she continued her walk.

The palace maid quickly stepped in front of Ruru to block her. "Miss Jiang, this servant isn’t lying to you. The Fourth Prince is right outside now. He said he has an urgent matter to discuss with you."

Ruru stopped and looked at the palace maid, her tone light. "Tell him we’re grown-ups now. It’s improper to meet in private."

"Even if he really does have something going on, I can’t help him. Let him go find someone who can."

After saying that, Ruru took Xiao Lu with her and went back to her room.

The palace maid was helpless. She exited through the palace gate, turned into a side alley, and saw the Fourth Prince waiting there.

She quietly relayed Ruru’s words to the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince frowned. "She really said that?"

Wasn’t she always the one who didn’t care much about propriety?

The Fourth Prince stomped his foot hard. He wanted to go directly to Yuexiu Palace but didn’t dare.

He had originally planned to ask her out so the two of them could talk it over. His imperial father hadn’t given him a clear answer, and his mother-consort didn’t care about him either, so he had no one but her to discuss it with. He believed her heart was the same as his; after all, they had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

He hadn’t expected that she wouldn’t even be willing to come out and see him.

The Fourth Prince still couldn’t accept it and started walking toward Yuexiu Palace.

The palace maid followed behind him nervously.

When they reached outside Yuexiu Palace, the Fourth Prince still didn’t dare go in. He only paced back and forth outside in circles.

He paced anxiously for a while, then suddenly remembered that back at the traveling palace, he and Ruru had a secret signal—once Ruru heard the sound, she would come out to play with him.

His mood surged with excitement. He put his fingers in his mouth and blew hard.
