Chapter 54 No wonder her prince doesn't fancy other women [19]
After listening to Achu's words, Xiaoliu felt that they made sense.
But……
"Then what should we do? Should we just do nothing?"
Achu's eyes welled up with tears again. She sniffed and said, "What can I do?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince said that if we disobey... he will kill us..."
"Who knows, it might even implicate my parents."
Xiaoliu was terrified when she heard this and was about to cry as well.
Achu wiped away her tears, took her hand, and forced a smile: "Xiaoliu, do you think I'm beautiful?"
Xiao Liu nodded and answered sincerely, "Miss is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! Miss is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Moreover, Xiaoliu thinks that the young ladies now are more beautiful than those of the past!
It seems like nothing has changed, yet something seems to have changed.
Xiaoliu couldn't explain it.
Achu sighed: "Perhaps, His Highness the Crown Prince will treat me better because of my beauty."
"Like last night, he lay next to me all night but didn't hurt me."
"No matter what, it's better to be alive than dead."
"Xiao Liu, aren't you right?"
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up when she heard what A Chu said.
"Miss, you're right!"
"Miss, you are so beautiful, His Highness the Crown Prince must be attracted to you!"
"Those rumors are just rumors, maybe they're false? How much of what those people say is true?"
Just like those people who said that the young lady was kidnapped by bandits and lost her chastity, they described it in such detail that it was as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Achu nodded: "That's right!"
Xiao Liu stopped crying, Xiao Liu was happy.
She even fantasized about the day when her young lady would become the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess!
She's even more powerful than the Fifth Prince's Consort!
Seeing Xiaoliu completely relaxed, Achu smiled.
It's actually a good thing that Xiaoliu isn't very smart.
If Achu says a few words, she won't have to worry anymore.
At Shenshi (3-5 PM), the person who came to pick up Achu arrived at the gate of the nunnery on time.
No one knew what Si Jinye had done, but when A Chu and Xiao Liu came out of their courtyard, the nunnery was completely quiet and deserted.
The woman who came to pick up Achu was a kind-looking old woman who looked to be in her forties. She was fair-skinned and plump, and her eyes crinkled when she smiled.
But the shrewd glint in her eyes told me that this old woman was no ordinary person.
"Greetings, Miss! My name is Hua. I have been sent to fetch you and will be responsible for taking care of your daily life from now on."
Achu nodded to Granny Hua and greeted her, "Greetings, Granny."
As Granny Hua listened to A Chu's gentle and melodious voice, and looked at her beautiful face, she stood there gracefully.
I couldn't help but admire it.
She had been in the palace for thirty years and had seen so many empresses and concubines, but she had never seen anyone so beautiful!
No wonder His Highness doesn't fancy other women; he has incredibly high standards!
Granny Hua smiled broadly as she came over to help A-Chu, saying, "Miss, please come with me to the carriage!"
Seeing how well Granny Hua treated A-Chu, Xiao Liu became even more convinced that His Highness the Crown Prince really liked her young lady.
She followed behind and got into the seemingly unassuming but actually very luxurious carriage with Achu.
After getting into the carriage, Achu lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the gate of the nunnery.
"Granny, if I leave like this, what will happen if word gets out..."
Granny Hua poured Ah Chu a cup of tea and said with a smile, "The sixth young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion has been practicing asceticism in a nunnery."
Xiao Liu, standing nearby, was puzzled.
But Achu understood.
The nunnery has probably been taken care of.
Outsiders only knew that the sixth young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion had been practicing asceticism in a nunnery.
She will return home in three months.
Achu didn't say anything more.
Si Jinye's carriage was very luxurious, and the shock absorption was also very good.
Achu sat in the carriage without feeling any bumps.
I don't know how long I walked, but then I heard voices outside.
Xiao Liu quietly peeked out from behind the curtain, then leaned closer to tell A Chu, "Miss, we've entered the city."
Achu nodded.
After walking for a while, the sounds of people outside disappeared.
If you walk any further, you'll reach the palace gate.
Achu heard a guard outside ask, "Who is inside?"
She looked nervous, and her hands were clenched tightly around her handkerchief.
Xiaoliu wasn't nervous at first, but seeing Achu like this, she started to get nervous too.
Granny Hua gave Achu a reassuring look and went outside.
She revealed her palace badge from the Eastern Palace and said, "This old servant is Granny Hua from the Eastern Palace. I am here on His Highness's orders to go out of the palace on some business."
Palace guard: "So it's Granny Hua. Come in."
Granny Hua returned to the carriage.
The heavy, imposing palace gates opened, and the carriage began to move again.
The carriage drove all the way to the East Palace before stopping.
Granny Hua got off the carriage first, and then asked A-Chu to get off.
Achu got off the carriage and looked around with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.
This is the Eastern Palace, so it is naturally solemn and luxurious.
Granny Hua said softly, "Miss, please come with me to your residence."
Achu nodded.
As they passed through the artificial hill and corridor, the palace maids and eunuchs they encountered all bowed to Granny Hua.
Although they were curious about Ah Chu, they didn't show it on their faces at all, not even lifting their eyelids.
Xiao Liu whispered in A Chu's ear, "Miss, it's so quiet here."
It was really quiet.
The palace maids and eunuchs walked very quietly, making almost no sound.
Hearing Xiao Liu's words, Granny Hua turned around and said, "His Highness prefers quiet, so the first rule of the Eastern Palace is that no loud noises are allowed."
Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, then quickly covered her mouth.
Achu gave her a reassuring look and said to Granny Hua, "Thank you for informing me, Granny."
Her voice was already soft, and now it was even softer.
Granny Hua said with a smile, "Miss's voice is naturally soft and melodious, very pleasant to listen to. Just speak at your normal volume."
Achu replied, "Okay."
Granny Hua led A Chu directly to Si Jinye's bedchamber.
Her room was a side room in Si Jinye's bedroom.
It must have been specially decorated; it's very elegant, like a young girl's boudoir.
Inside, everything from large screens to small candlesticks and ornaments are rare treasures.
Granny Hua smiled and said to A Chu, "His Highness gave the instructions a little hastily today, and the room was hastily furnished. If Miss needs anything, please just tell me."
After looking around the room, Achu said to Granny Hua, "It's already very good. There's nothing we need to add."
Granny Hua nodded, then pointed to the two palace maids who followed her in and said, "This is Chunhua, and this is Shuiyue. From today onwards, they will serve the young lady personally."
Two pretty palace maids bowed to Achu.
"Chunhua greets Miss."
"Shuiyue greets Miss."
Achu waved her hand: "No need, Granny, I have Xiaoliu to serve me."
With Granny Hua saying, "This is His Highness's order," A Chu no longer refused.
Then Granny Hua said that Ah Chu had a long journey and that she should help her bathe and change clothes.
After she finished bathing and changed into the clothes prepared by the East Palace, Si Jinye returned.
"Granny Hua, His Highness wants Miss Chen to go to the study."
When Achu heard this, her face immediately showed tension and unease.
Granny Hua, on the other hand, was beaming with joy: "Miss, please come with me to see His Highness!"
