Chapter 103 It’s really hard to survive in your circle
Xiao Jingfan glanced at the person in the cloak. "Although the red plum blossoms in the vase are interesting, they lack the artistic conception of the red plum blossoms in the snow."
[Huh? The tyrant just accepted it so easily?]
Chu Liuzheng, who was wondering whether he would be beaten to death or beheaded in a moment, raised his eyelids in surprise and glanced at Xiao Jingfan secretly.
Unexpectedly, he met Xiao Jingfan's cold and stern eyes.
——You want me to clean up the mess just by making up an excuse? How stupid!
Chu Liuzheng didn't understand what he meant, but he had been serving in the emperor's presence for some time, so he quickly understood the disgust in Xiao Jingfan's eyes.
[What's with saying one thing and doing another...? Did the tyrant show his kindness and save Yuzhui and me?]
She blinked, feeling touched.
【嘤嘤~ It turns out that following the big boss Tyrant is the right path! 】
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
If you are really moved, would you dare to curse the tyrant a little less?
Eunuch Zhou standing by was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
You can even protect someone who has falsely transmitted an imperial edict. Your Majesty, what is your bottom line?
Nanny Liu was also surprised. She was almost certain that Chu Liuzheng and Yuzhu were lying, but she never expected that they were telling the truth.
For a moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Jingfan was somewhat subtle.
Your Majesty let a person with injured hands pick red plums. Is he deliberately torturing this palace maid?
But isn’t it rumored that this palace maid seduces the master and will be the next Concubine Wen who becomes arrogant because of her favor?
It seems that the rumor is not true.
Nanny Liu thought about it for a while, and when she looked at Chu Liuzheng again, she felt that Chu Liuzheng looked so innocent and pleasing to the eye.
She secretly sighed that this palace maid was really pitiful as she was injured and plotted against.
Chu Liuzheng felt that the look in Madam Liu's eyes when she looked at him suddenly warmed up from below freezing, bringing with it some genuine warmth and... pity?
She was very confused.
What on earth was this nanny thinking about?
Unlike Chu Liuzheng who was still in the mood to think about random things, Yuzhui was truly relieved, and his legs finally stopped shaking.
Although I don't understand why His Majesty would protect them, it's a good thing that they are still alive.
Wei Mingliang's gaze moved between Chu Liuzheng and Yuzhui, and finally stopped on Chu Liuzheng.
Although she was also a palace maid, this one was wearing a cloak that was clearly not in line with the etiquette of a palace maid. Emperor Shunguang's gaze fell on this palace maid several times, and he thought there was something special about it.
But before he could take a closer look, Xiao Jingfan had already started walking towards Jinxiu Pavilion.
Everyone naturally followed.
Chu Liuzheng felt that he had nothing to do and was about to call Yuzhui to leave together, but he saw Yuzhui constantly looking towards Jinxiu Pavilion, obviously wanting to take another look at the maid in the emerald blue jacket and skirt.
Blood ties are truly amazing. Even after not seeing each other for years, you can still feel a sense of familiarity at first sight.
Chu Liuzheng thought about the dangerous situation today. Just because the tyrant was kind enough to rescue them once didn't mean he would be willing to rescue them a second time. After all, they had already met the person, so there was no rush for other things.
"Yuzhui, let's first..."
She had barely begun to speak when Xiao Anzi suddenly returned and said to Chu Liuzheng and the others with a smile, "Master has asked the two girls to follow and serve."
Chu Liuzheng's head was full of questions, "I'm going too?"
It would be fine if Yuzhui could catch up, but what could she do with her half-crippled hands? Tell stories with her mouth?
Xiao Anzi nodded and thought that according to his master's intention, it didn't matter whether Miss Yuzhui went or not, but Miss Liuzheng had to follow.
Unlike Chu Liuzheng who was confused, Yuzhui was very happy and helped Chu Liuzheng follow.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Sure enough, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business! ]
On the second floor of Jinxiu Pavilion, even the music stopped because of Xiao Jingfan's sudden arrival.
Everyone stood up and greeted each other.
Chu Liuzheng, who was following behind, took the opportunity to look at the four princesses.
Her Royal Highness the Princess looked much better than when she was in the Princess's Mansion. There was no sadness between her brows, her eyes were clear, and there was a smile on the corners of her lips. It was obvious that she had been living a very comfortable life during this period.
Princess Xixia, as described by the system, is a beauty comparable to Concubine Rong. She looks smart and shrewd, and you can't tell that she is actually a simple and innocent girl.
Princess Gaochang has healthy wheat-colored skin, bright and elegant facial features, and is a truly energetic queen.
Princess Goryeo, um... I don’t know if it’s because of preconceived notions, but Chu Liuzheng always felt that she was a little awkward in her movements, and she didn’t dare to look up at people, seeming a little guilty.
As for her appearance... it's not even a little bit different from the real princess described by the system. It's all supported by makeup and clothes, and it's a little bit overwhelming. It feels like the clothes are wearing her.
If she had not been serving the real princess since she was a child and knew her every word and action best, the Goryeo envoys would probably not have allowed her to impersonate the princess.
As expected, wealth and beauty tend to accrue to the upper classes. Look at these descendants of phoenixes and dragons, none of them look inferior. Living a life of luxury since childhood has cultivated a noble demeanor. Standing in a crowd, they truly stand out like a crane among chickens.
Chu Liuzheng stood aside with Yuzhui, his eyes sweeping over Yin Taiyu, Wei Mingliang and Xiao Jingfan inconspicuously.
All three styles are quite pleasing to the eye, but Tyrant's is the best looking. Hmm... maybe it's because of the throne that he looks so handsome?
The corner of Xiao Jingfan's eye twitched, but he tried to hold back and not glare at Chu Liuzheng.
Who would compare looks with a real man?
Chu Liuzheng is a face control freak.
She felt exhausted just by listening to these people at the top of the power pyramid speak.
[Each random sentence has multiple meanings. Anyone with a dull mind wouldn't be able to follow it. Your circle is really not that easy to get into.]
She was sighing when Yuzhui suddenly pulled down her cloak.
She turned her head and asked silently, "What's wrong?"
Yuzhui nodded at her, indicating that she should look at the maid in the emerald blue jacket and skirt, and mouthed: "sister."
She confirmed that the maidservant beside the Xixia Princess was her sister Zhao Yue.
Chu Liuzheng turned to look at the maid.
Wow, when you look closely, it looks even more like Yuzhu, like twins. No wonder Yuzhu was so sure.
She shook her head gently at Yuzhui, signaling her not to act rashly.
After all, Yuzhu has been in the palace for several years and knows the importance of it.
Although she was excited and had countless questions, she suppressed them and did not recognize Zhao Yue immediately.
But his eyes always looked towards Zhao Yue unconsciously, which attracted Zhao Yue, who was originally busy with other things and didn't pay attention to this side, to look over here.
After seeing Yuzhui's face clearly, she was shocked and two words popped up in her mind: Sister!
This face looks so much like hers, and the age matches hers too, so she must be her elder sister without a doubt.
Zhao Yue didn't expect that she would really be able to see her elder sister after entering the palace. She was so excited that her hands and lips trembled. The word "elder sister" came to her lips, but she swallowed it back.
Can't recognize it.
She only brings trouble to my sister now.
She lowered her eyes and turned her head away quickly, as if she had just seen a stranger.
Yuzhu was stunned. Didn’t Xiaoyue recognize her?
She raised her hand and touched her face. They looked so similar, Xiaoyue shouldn't have failed to recognize her.
Seeing the interaction between the two sisters, Chu Liuzheng nodded secretly.
[The werewolf sister is clear-headed. If she recognizes Yuzhu now, she will only drag Yuzhu into trouble.]
Xiao Jingfan:?
Who is the werewolf sister?
He soon found out.
"I have been wronged, and I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for me!" In front of everyone's surprised gaze, Zhao Yue knelt in front of Xiao Jingfan and kowtowed hard.
[Wow! As expected of a werewolf sister, she actually dared to file a complaint with the emperor. How brave!]
