With Monica being absent and causing no disruption, the poetry meeting went very smoothly, and Tan Rou also composed a poem. However, she did not write a traditional poem of her own country but instead crafted one according to the preferences of the people of J country.
Although her poem in J countryâs style was not very well written, it was definitely much better than Monicaâs.
Princess Samiyi greatly enjoyed the poem written by Tan Rou and said, âMiss Rou, your poem is written very well, I would very much like to learn from you, do you have the time?â
Tan Rou had something to say to Princess Samiyi, so she accepted the princessâs request.
It was at the end of the poetry gathering that Princess Samiyi finally said, âI would like to spend some time alone with Miss Rou to ask her some questions, please leave us alone.â
The maids following Samiyi immediately withdrew outside, but like before, they didnât move far away, so Samiyi had to speak a bit quieter.
Lin Yu was also leaving. As he passed by Tan Rou, he muttered, âTell Princess Samiyi about seeing Little Prince Agira. The princess has been very worried about Little Prince Agiraâs safety, and she would surely be very happy to know he is safe.â
Tan Rou sincerely thought neither Agiraâs mother nor father were competent, the princess seemed quite happy, her face showing no worry or anxiety for her son, as if she was enjoying her current life.
âHmm, I understand,â Tan Rou replied softly.
After everyone had left, Princess Samiyi apologized, âMiss Rou, I am truly sorry. I did not expect Monica to suddenly lose her temper, and just when you were right by her side, she directed her ire towards you, which must have made you very angry. I apologize and assure I you this wonât happen again.â
Tan Rou smiled at her, then asked softly, âYou donât suspect at all that this incident could be related to me, do you?â
Samiyi laughed, âIf this was not your doing, I owe you an apology. But if it was your doing, not only do I owe you an apology, I would also thank you.â After all, Samiyi did not like Monica either. If it werenât for the crowd today, Samiyi would have liked to record Monicaâs behavior to watch it over and over again each day to relax.
Tan Rou answered with a smile, âI really do not know why Princess Monica would act out. Perhaps it was just a trick of hers, as she doesnât like foreigners staying on her land and wants to drive us away.â
Upon hearing Tan Rouâs words, Samiyi furrowed her brows and said very sternly, âThat woman is too audacious. Sooner or later, she and her husband will pay the price for todayâs audacity.â
Tan Rou raised an eyebrow and said, âI seem to have heard something significant.â
Princess Samiyi gave a slight smile and said, âBut I trust that Miss Rou wonât speak of our discussion.â
After chatting casually for a moment, Tan Rou finally had the opportunity to discuss the important matter, âYour Highness, the last time you mentioned asking a favor of me, I thought about it, and if it isnât too difficult, I think I could indeed help you.â
Samiyi took a deep breath and said gratefully, âThank you, Miss Rou!â
Tan Rou said, âActually, I didnât want to get involved in any trouble, but since you have approached me several times, I feel your matter must be quite important, so I would like to hear what you need my help with.â
Samiyi looked around, then finally said, âI want you to help me find a child, and once you find him, I shall give you a generous sum of money.â
Tan Rou already knew Princess Samiyi sought her out for this reason, âOh, how old is this child?â
Princess Samiyi immediately showed Tan Rou a photo, âYou might be surprised to hear this, but his name is Agira, and he is my child.â@@novelbin@@
Tan Rou was not surprised at all; she took the photo from Princess Samiyiâs hand. The boy in the photo appeared to be about six or seven years old, quite cute, but you could definitely tell it was Agira.
âHow old was Agira when this photo was taken?â Tan Rou held the photo in her hand, âHeâs very cute, though not as handsome as he is now.â
âYes, he has grown a littleâ¦â Princess Samiyi followed along with Tan Rouâs comment, but before she could finish, she realized something was off, âYou⦠have you seen Agira? Where did you see him?â
