"It's alright," Fu Lu replied. "She can't do anything to you."
Mu Run secretly curled her lips. If she didn't care, why bother having her go through the motions?
She slowly raised her head, revealing a flawless and beautiful face. Her long, curled eyelashes blinked gently, her eyes sparkling, her cherry lips blooming in a smile. Her expression was so charming, her demeanor so graceful, that it was breathtaking.
Yu Fei took in Mu Run's sudden display of seductive charm and frowned even more displeased.
Fu Lu was also startled by her appearance, never expecting her to have such an expression...
"My son is truly blessed." A deep, hearty laugh came from behind the landscape screen behind Consort Yu.
Mu Run immediately jumped behind Fu Lu, looking like a startled deer.
She knew, of course, who the voice belonged to, and even knew that Emperor Wende was hiding behind the screen.
It's all just a show.
"Afraid?" Fu Lu hurriedly asked Mu Run via telepathy.
Mu Run replied, "Of course not, you have to pretend to be naive, timid, and shy."
Fu Lu: "..."
Emperor Wende strode out from behind the screen, his gaze falling on Fulu and Murun, who was hidden by Fulu and whose skirt was only visible.
"Priceless treasures are easy to obtain, but true love is hard to find. Hahahaha—good!" Emperor Wende laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty." Consort Yu rose and bowed.
Emperor Wende helped her up, saying, "My beloved concubine, you may rise."
Fu Lu turned to the side, revealing Mu Run behind him, and bowed to Emperor Wende, saying, "Your subject greets Your Majesty."
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Mu Run glanced at Emperor Wende furtively before looking away.
This Emperor Wende had sharp eyes and a robust physique; he could probably reign for several more decades without any problem.
Why establish a crown prince so early? Is it not because there's a plan to abdicate early? Mu Run wondered to himself.
Emperor Wende naturally noticed her peeking. "No need for formalities, please take a seat."
Mu Run sat down beside Fu Lu, looking down at the tips of her shoes.
Upon seeing this, I was terrified!
Two bright pearls adorn the toes of the shoes, but these two pearls are actually deep-sea dragon pearls; amidst their shimmering light, one can almost see the shadow of a dragon swimming within them…
He quickly pulled his shoe toes back.
These shoes were made for her by Fu Yunchen himself. The clothes were also designed by him and made by court embroiderers. They may look ordinary, but they are all extraordinary, especially the pair of dragon pearls, which were originally intended to be her hairpins, but because something better was found, they were made into shoes instead.
However, only the emperor could use anything related to dragons.
She was careless.
I suppose no one noticed her because her skirt covered her face the whole way.
"What's wrong?" Fu Lu asked her telepathically.
Mu Run did not answer, but instead used her spiritual sense to observe her surroundings.
After confirming that no one had noticed her shoes, he returned to Fulu and said, "It's nothing."
Because Fu Lu arranged for her to be a village girl from the mountains, whose village suffered a natural disaster in her early years and whose relatives were all dead, her background was both tragic and simple.
Consort Yu looked down on her even more.
Emperor Wende didn't care. No matter how good one's background was, could it be better than that of the imperial family? So, in his eyes, her background didn't matter much. Besides, not having a maternal family might not be a bad thing. Having just suffered from the misfortune of his maternal relatives and the loss of his wife and children, Emperor Wende really didn't have any good feelings towards them.
"By imperial decree, Mu Run, daughter of the Mu family, is virtuous, gentle, beautiful, and of excellent character. Both I and Consort Yu are delighted with her and hereby bestow upon her the title of Crown Princess!"
Everyone was stunned!
Emperor Wende smiled with satisfaction... It was quite amusing to be able to tease this son.
