"Then, I apologize," Yuan Tang said, bowing with a hand folded in front of him, and then curtsied again.
After Yuan Tang left, Prince Ning looked towards the couple of Prince Rui with concern, "What just happened?"
The handkerchief on the ground had already been picked up and put away by the servants.
Prince Rui patted the Princess Rui's shoulder reassuringly, "Right, did that guy just try to scare you on purpose?"
Princess Rui shook her head, "No, I was just... too surprised."
Prince Rui, puzzled, said, "Surprised about what? It's not like you've never seen him before."
Yuan Tang was a hostage from Chen Country and usually did not attend gatherings of the Zhan Country royal family. However, when he first arrived in Zhan Country, to showcase the magnanimity of the royal clan, the Emperor did host a welcoming banquet for him and the emissary from Chen Country.
After some thought, Princess Rui decided to tell them about witnessing the Crown Princess meeting someone privately.
