Hua Rong turned her head, bowing it low, but her spiritual sense was still able to clearly see the appearance of the person who had called out to her.
"Princess Zisu".
Di Zisu also failed to notice anything amiss with Hua Rong.
She said to Hua Rong with some distress, "Could you help me find my jade pendant? I was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden just now, and I accidentally lost it! It was a gift from my elder brother, and he would probably be angry if he found out."
Hua Rong noticed that Di Zisu's expression was very complicated when she talked about Di Bumie.
It didn't seem like he was treating his brother like that, nor did it seem like he harbored any resentment.
That emotion, hazy and indistinct, yet it tugged at Hua Rong's heartstrings.
As soon as Hua Rong saw Di Zisu, he noticed the faint dragon aura emanating from her.
Without needing to think too hard, one could tell that her identity was Princess Zisu, whom Emperor Bumie had personally taken from the East Sea before his tribulation in the lower realm.
The reason Hua Rong was able to figure it out so quickly was that this dragon was that dragon.
It was because Di Zisu's face, which had no facial features, left a deep impression on her.
The Dragon King of the East Sea said something nice, that Di Zisu was harmed by villains and that's why she acted that way.
However, Hua Rong knew perfectly well that Di Zisu's face had been forcibly peeled off.
Di Zisu is a dragon princess. Just how powerful and capable must someone be to successfully peel off her face?
Unexpectedly, in this life, her identity would be that of Emperor Bumie's younger sister.
younger sister?
Hua Rong was suddenly stunned.
Because she sensed something amiss in Di Zisu's bloodline.
Her bloodline and the bloodline in Di Bumie's body are not from the same lineage at all.
They are not from the same father, nor are they from the same mother.
What exactly happened?
Oh, right!
Hua Rong believed that Di Bumie was not the old emperor's son at all!
Hua Rong felt she had discovered the truth.
Despite having many thoughts in her mind, Hua Rong still managed to maintain the persona of the little palace maid that Di Zisu had given her.
"Yes, Princess, I will find it for you right away."
Hua Rong appeared to be searching around the flowerbeds, but in reality, her spiritual senses had already covered the entire Imperial Garden.
Strangely, there wasn't a single hairpin in the Imperial Garden.
Hua Rong thought for a moment, then directly covered the entire palace with his spiritual sense.
Then, extract the image of that hairpin from Di Zisu's memories.
In the end, she actually found it!
The hairpin didn't end up anywhere; instead, it appeared in a woman's hand.
Hua Rong carefully scanned the woman twice, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face.
She withdrew her spiritual sense and, while pretending to continue searching for the hairpin, said to Di Zisu, "Princess, the Imperial Garden is very large, and we don't know if the hairpin you requested is even there. Why don't you consider whether it might have been lost somewhere else?"
Di Zisu said anxiously, "It shouldn't be. I think I only came to this Imperial Garden."
"Perhaps you encountered someone along the way, Princess, and the hairpin accidentally fell off and was picked up by someone."
Di Zisu was about to say something, but suddenly stopped talking.
At this moment, she remembered something: on her way to the Imperial Garden, she had met Miss Qi Jiqi, who was about to become her sister-in-law.
Before Qi Ji became empress, she dared not offend her.
Of course, apart from Qi Ji, she dared not offend any of the noble ladies in the capital.
Before her elder brother ascended the throne, she was just a princess who was not favored by her father.
To survive in this deep palace, she and her mother always had to be extremely cautious.
The reason he was able to appear openly in the eyes of the world after his elder brother ascended the throne was that he no longer had to bow his head.
It was because his mother had given him a meal when he was in a weak position.
This single meal of kindness made her the Princess Anle she is today!
However, her long-standing habits still prevented her from acting like a princess.
She was still habitually cautious in her dealings with everyone.
Qi Ji came from a good family, so naturally she was someone she dared not offend.
Therefore, when she encountered Qi Ji again today, she still went up to greet him.
But the once gentle Miss Qi suddenly changed her expression after seeing her.
If I had to say, it was specifically targeted at her.
This left her somewhat bewildered!
Regardless of what Qi Ji was thinking, she was certain from the palace maid's words.
She did stop and say a few words to Qi Ji at that time.
Could it be that the hairpin fell at that time?
She was about to turn around and look for Qi Ji, but then she remembered Qi Ji's attitude towards her and felt afraid.
He turned around and glanced at Hua Rong, able to tell from the little palace maid's words just now.
This little palace maid is very clever. Would it be better to bring her along?
She was suddenly surprised; this little palace maid was far too beautiful!
Hua Rong blinked her innocent eyes at Di Zisu, as if she knew nothing.
Di Zisu's eyes flickered; she rarely displayed such intelligence in her life.
This little palace maid is so beautiful and so smart; she might just become more than just a palace maid in the future!
Her expression was gentle, yet with a hint of pleading: "Come with me to find the hairpin. If you find it, come back to Zisu Palace with me, and I will reward you."
Hua Rong happily agreed, just like an ordinary palace maid.
But seeing her like this, Di Zisu felt even more that she was extraordinary.
If a lowly palace maid received a reward, she would probably pretend to be calm even if she was happy.
How could a palace maid who so readily displays joy survive in the palace?
The most common thing in the palace is hypocrisy, and the worst thing is to show one's joy on one's face.
However, Di Zisu didn't say much.
Her current goal is to befriend Hua Rong.
Who knows, she and her mother might have another powerful backer in the palace in the future!
Although her brother is now treating her and her mother very well.
However, given his elder brother's ruthless nature, Di Zisu couldn't guarantee that he would always treat them the same.
After all, they had only given him a meal as a favor.
His protection of the mother and daughter now far surpasses that bowl of rice.
Di Zisu recalled that when she met Qi Ji, Qi Ji must have wanted to see her imperial brother.
Now that so much time has passed, it's time for them to leave the palace.
She grew up in this palace and knows many of the paths.
They took Hua Rong and went to intercept Qi Ji via a shortcut.
Finally, they intercepted Qi Ji at the palace gate.
Qi Ji originally wanted to get into the carriage and leave, but after seeing Di Zisu, he stopped by the carriage and waited for Di Zisu to arrive.
Seeing this, Di Zisu was also not happy.
Although she was used to being treated lightly, she still felt wronged.
She was a princess of Dongyue, yet she lived a life less carefree than the illegitimate daughter of a minor official.
Even if it were just for show, Qi Ji shouldn't be standing by the carriage at this point; he should be walking towards her instead!
Di Zisu felt terrible, but she still forced herself to go up to him.
Hearing footsteps behind her brought her a moment of peace.
This little palace maid...
