Seeing that there were no home decorations behind Tao Yao, she leaned over and asked, "Yao Yao, where are you now? Aren't you home?"
"At the combat training center," Tao Yao answered truthfully, widening the view of the terminal brain a bit so that the two could see more clearly. "I can't go to Yanli Academy right now. You two have fun. Dress up nicely tonight so I can see you."
"!!"
Hu Tiantian looked incredulous. "Do you know that Yanliyuan is completely booked up today? It's even gotten to the point where people are fighting at the entrance... It's one thing that you're not coming for a beauty spa treatment, but you're not even going to eat melons (gossip), and you actually want to go to the combat arena to fight wild beasts? What were you thinking?"
Glancing at Shu Yan beside Tao Yao, she realized, "So it's because there's Consort Shu serving by his side. No wonder the emperor doesn't hold court in the morning. I understand now."
"It hasn't reached the point where we can skip morning court sessions yet, but it should be soon..." Tao Yao didn't mind her best friend's joke at all.
Because she also longed for a time when the emperor would not hold court in the morning!
Now she's more interested in gossip. "Who was fighting in front of Yanli Courtyard? Will there be any trending topics for me to see later?"
"I saw Silili and Li Yunsi fighting over the door. Haha, Li Yunsi almost ripped Silili's skirt off. She was standing at the door cursing like a shrew..."
Girls can never have too much gossip, especially since the third princess of the royal family, Si Lili, and Hu Tiantian have always disliked each other. Gossiping about the third princess makes Hu Tiantian even happier.
"I wonder if it will be uploaded to the StarNet later. If the royal family tries to maintain some lousy image and suppress this news, then it's pointless."
Xie Langhuan chimed in to support her.
Her voice was steady and her expression calm, yet the words uttered by this seemingly refined young lady were chilling: "You can ask your uncle to make this news trend on the hot search list right now, then have someone record a video of the trending version, and have online trolls spread it on other trending videos over the next few days. That way, the royal family won't be able to suppress this news, and it might even ferment for a year or two."
"!!"
Hu Tiantian exclaimed with deep respect, "It has to be you!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly made to hang up the starlight to find his uncle, who owned the largest video website in the alliance.
Tao Yao also gave Xie Langhuan a thumbs up, "It has to be you."
"Yaoyao," Xie Langhuan said again as Hu Tiantian was hanging up the starlight, "Remember to come find us before you go to the banquet. I asked Aunt Rong to send your dress to Yanli Courtyard. We can go directly to the palace later. You can also ask Shuyan to pick you up from Yanli Courtyard."
Hu Tiantian said "Yes" and added, "Yaoyao, you remember!"
This clearly indicates that someone has something to say, and it seems quite important.
Tao Yao nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I go find you now?"
Best friends are like hands and feet, boyfriends are like clothes.
Xie Langhuan: "No rush, let me take a bath and do some SAP with Tian Tian first."
Shu Yan couldn't hear Hu Tiantian and Xie Langhuan's voices on the other end of the Star Telephone, but he could hear Tao Yao's words from the side.
He turned his head and asked softly, "Do you want to go to Yanli Academy? I can take you there in my flying vehicle right now."
Level 5 evolved beasts weren't much of a threat to him. With his girlfriend around, he could improve even further; without her, he wasn't necessarily outmatched.
As for whether he, as a boyfriend, needs his girlfriend's company...
He's a mature boyfriend now, and he needs to learn the basic principles of being a boyfriend: "Don't compete with your girlfriend's best friend for her boyfriend."
"No need, we shouldn't need it for long. It just means I probably won't be able to have lunch with you. I have to..." Tao Yao turned her head, but before she could finish speaking, she saw another group of people walking quickly towards her.
The leader was tall, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and possessed an extraordinary air.
Shu Yan also saw the newcomer. He turned his head slightly, put away the "puppy-like" expression he had just shown to Tao Yao, and calmly nodded to the newcomer, saying, "Your Highness, Fifth Prince."
"Young Master Shu," Si Yi nodded in greeting.
The two groups passed each other, neither showing any intention of stopping to communicate.
One team went to Hall 2, and the other team went to Hall 1.
