After returning to the palace, Feng Guang was led by a group of palace maids to take a bath and change into clean clothes. Although she was not used to being served like this, she knew she had to do as the Romans do. So, while soaking in the bathtub, she heard the whispers of the palace maids behind her.
"This goddess is much more beautiful than the previous one."
"Yes, and she's not as strange as the previous one." The maid whispered to her companion, "When we were serving the previous one, she wouldn't let us serve her and said something about everyone being equal... It really scared me to death."
"Luckily, there was no one else around at the time, otherwise if the eunuch in charge had heard us, we would probably have had to go into the darkroom to learn the rules."
...
From their conversation, Feng Guang could confirm that Hua Zhouzhou was still the same Hua Zhouzhou, and the female lead's character hadn't gone astray. This relieved her. Her biggest fear was that the plot would change, rendering her God's-eye view useless.
About twenty minutes later, Fengguang, who had finished dressing up, was finally allowed to leave the room by the palace maids. She was wearing a pink, wide-sleeved, flowing fairy dress. It was only because of her fair skin that she could pull off such a difficult shade of pink. The two palace maids behind her kept staring at her. Sometimes, making a beautiful woman even more beautiful is a very fulfilling thing.
Despite the glamour, she felt immense pressure. She comforted herself that lilies weren't blooming here yet. Led by a palace maid, she entered the Imperial Garden, where flowers bloomed in profusion. In a pavilion surrounded by flowers, sat a gentle and refined young man, and opposite him was the cold-faced general.
If one could ignore Xin Ye, Feng Guang found Shen Yue's presence quite pleasing to the eye. She walked into the pavilion and was about to give an awkward bow when Shen Yue said, "Goddess, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit down."
"Okay." Feng Guang didn't stand on ceremony. Naturally, she wouldn't sit next to Xin Ye, so she sat next to Shen Yue. When she saw the roses she had given Shen Yue in the vase on the stone table, she smiled shyly, "You still kept these flowers?"
"Since it was a gift from the goddess, we should keep it carefully."
Feng Guang felt even more embarrassed and said, "Don't call me Goddess anymore. My name is Xia Feng Guang. Just call me by my name."
"Shameless." Xin Ye picked up a cup of tea and uttered those four words coolly.
Feng Guang looked at him and asked, "Where have I been shameless?"
Xin Ye said calmly, "To casually reveal one's maiden name is shameless."
"Who are you? What gives you the right to talk about me like this?"
"Xin Ye, the Grand General Protector of Dongyang Kingdom." He put down his teacup, and with just a glance, he exuded immense pressure.
Feng Guang sneered, "You're such a shameless man."
"Those who are careful with their words will live longer." Xin Ye glanced at Feng Guang indifferently. Although his gaze was brief, the warning within it was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
Feng Guang crossed his arms and laughed, "Where we come from, when a man says his name to a woman, it means he wants her to marry him. General Xin, you wouldn't be thinking of..."
"Nonsense." Xin Ye frowned. "Since ancient times, there has only been the saying that men marry women, how could there be a woman marrying a man?"
"Why insist on calling your ignorance absolute?" Feng Guang's eyes showed pity. "General Xin, there are many things in this world that you don't know."
