Chapter 386 Princess, you...you...you're also a time traveler? [18]
Although Lu Zhixing woke her up at night, A Chu slept soundly for the rest of the night.
When she woke up, Lu Zhixing was no longer by her side.
She washed up and had breakfast with the help of the palace maids.
Today's breakfast included a dessert: rose double-skin milk pudding. It had a rich rose fragrance and a moderate sweetness.
Ah Chu didn't finish the other dishes, but she did finish the rose double-skin milk pudding.
Because she was curious about Fang Lu's state when she met Lan Qingchen yesterday, A Chu had someone summon her.
Fang Lu arrived quickly.
She lowered her head and knelt down respectfully to greet Achu as soon as she entered.
"This servant greets Your Highness the Princess!"
Having traveled through time for several years, Fang Lu no longer felt there was anything wrong with kneeling and bowing.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
She's not some novel heroine who dares to flaunt her character and morals everywhere.
If she really dared to do that, she would have been dead eight hundred years ago.
Achu sat in the chair, looking down at Fang Lu, only able to see the top of her head.
She spoke lazily, in a commanding tone, "Raise your head."
Fang Lu had been there for over a month, and this was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
But how could she dare disobey the princess's orders?
Fang Lu responded with a "Yes," and then slowly raised her head.
She raised her head, but her eyelids were still drooping, and she didn't dare to look directly at Achu.
Achu still noticed the dark circles under Fang Lu's eyes.
In the past month or so, although A Chu only saw Fang Lu occasionally, she knew that Fang Lu's overall condition was much better than when she was in the palace.
At least, the dark circles under my eyes from staying up late are gone.
Fang Lu had just met Lan Qingchen yesterday, and today she already had dark circles under her eyes, clearly because she had insomnia last night.
Achu already knew from the system that Lan Qingchen confessed his feelings to Fang Lu yesterday.
He also promised Fang Lu that he would take her with him when he returned to Yetu Kingdom.
Fang Lu did not accept Lan Qingchen's confession at the time, but she did not reject him outright either.
She said she needed time to think it over, and the two agreed to meet again in five days.
Achu was a little curious whether Fang Lu would agree to Lan Qingchen's request.
Unfortunately, given her status, it wasn't appropriate to ask.
Suddenly, Ah Chu had a brilliant idea!
She smiled slightly and asked, "Chenlu, how come you know so many different kinds of desserts? Did you learn them in your hometown?"
Fang Lu always said that she learned to make desserts in her hometown from an old lady there, and then improved and innovated on her own.
Upon hearing Achu's question, Fang Lu replied, "Your Highness, yes, I learned it in my hometown."
Ah Chu raised an eyebrow and then asked, "Where is your hometown? Is it modern?"
"What?!"
Fang Lu thought there was something wrong with her ears.
She seemed to vaguely hear the word 'modern'.
Fang Lu couldn't help but look up at A Chu.
Then, she saw with her own eyes that A-Chu moved his lips and repeated it again.
"I ask you, where is your hometown? In the modern 22nd century?"
This time, Fang Lu was certain that she had not misheard or misseen!
Holy crap!
Fang Lu's eyes widened, and she was so shocked that she lost all control of her expression.
Her loss of composure caused Xueyan and Hanliu, who were standing beside Achu, to frown.
Han Liu was about to scold Fang Lu when she heard A Chu chuckle softly.
"Xueyan, Hanliu, you two go out first."
Although Xueyan and Hanliu were puzzled, they still respectfully replied, "Yes, Princess!"
Two senior palace maids went out first, followed by the rest of the maids.
Soon, only Achu and Fang Lu remained in the hall.
Achu raised her hand to Fang Lu and said, "Get up."
Fang Lu hesitated for a moment, then stood up.
She looked at Achu, her expression conflicted.
"Princess, you...you...you were also a time traveler?"
Achu nodded, readily admitting it.
"I'm telling you this secret, so you have to keep it a secret for me!"
As she spoke, Achu winked playfully at Fang Lu.
Actually, she wasn't worried that Fang Lu would tell anyone.
If Fang Lu really does that, A Chu will naturally have her own way of dealing with it.
At this moment, Fang Lu found it difficult to describe her feelings.
Princess Shenghua is actually a time traveler, just like her!
So, her improved temperament was entirely due to a change in her inner self?
Fang Lu nodded and assured him, "I absolutely will not tell a second person!"
Then, with some curiosity, she asked, "When...when did you travel through time?"
Achu replied, "The night I married Lu Zhixing."
No wonder!
"What was your original name? How old were you when you transmigrated here?"
"My real name is Fang Lu. I hadn't even graduated from university when I transmigrated here. I was completely stunned."
"My name is Achu, I don't remember my surname. Before I transmigrated here, I was an actor."
Fang Lu never expected to meet a fellow countryman in another world. She was very happy and excited!
She was a very outgoing and cheerful person, and under Achu's guidance, she spoke even more freely.
Fang Lu told A Chu how unlucky she was and how much effort she had to put in to climb up the ranks in the palace.
Fang Lu: "Ah... I'll still call you Princess, but don't get used to it and give yourself away in front of outsiders."
"You really are a considerate person," Ah Chu smiled and nodded, replying, "Okay."
Fang Lu laughed and continued, "Princess, you're luckier than me. You don't know, I complain to myself that other people who transmigrate are either princesses, noble ladies, or daughters of marquises or something."
"Me, on the other hand, I'm dressed up as a lowly palace maid. How pathetic!"
After hearing Fang Lu's words, A Chu's expression became somewhat conflicted, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Upon seeing this, Fang Lu quickly asked her, "Princess, is there something you want to say to me?"
Achu nodded, but still seemed hesitant: "I don't know if I should tell you, I'm afraid you won't believe me."
Fang Lu immediately said, "How could that be! I can't possibly not believe it!"
As if encouraged by her words, Achu finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you."
"Actually, I transmigrated into a book."
Fang Lu's eyes widened: "What? We've transmigrated into a book? How come I've never read such a book? Who's the female lead?"
She was also thinking that if she were to transmigrate into a book, she would definitely be just a random passerby.
Then I heard Ah Chu say, "It was me who transmigrated into the book, not you."
"You are the female lead, and Lan Qingchen is the male lead."
Fang Lu's eyes widened in shock, and her mouth gaped open in astonishment.
It took her a long time to find her voice: "The female lead... is that me?"
Seeing Achu nod, Fang Lu heard her own voice tremble as she asked, "So, is this a sweet story... or a angst story?"
Achu: "I don't know how to define it. It depends on how you define it."
She briefly summarized the novel's plot and told it to Fang Lu.
"...Okay, that's it. Do you think it's a sweet story or a angst story?"
Achu asked Fang Lu.
