Chapter 39 - Chapter 39 039. sow discord
Just like this, Liu Ruo Qing stayed in East Garden for a few more days, also listening to Xiao Yue's words and continued to embroider her handkerchief.
The ten fingers naturally suffered a lot.
"It's a success!"
Looking at the "hard work" that he had struggled to finish with after half a month of work in his hands, Liu Ruo Qing realized that he still had the potential to be a lady of a noble family.
The reason why she was so patient in embroidering such a work was because she couldn't move in the past half month. Otherwise, with her level of patience, she wouldn't be able to stay for a long time.
"It seems that something is missing."
She looked at the empty space to the right of the handkerchief, rested her chin on her hand, and fell into deep thought.
"I need to add a few more lines to the poem to make it even higher."
As she tidied up the thread, she began to mutter to herself at the same time, "Although Yan Yuan hates it, he has to show me some sincerity for the gift, so that I can let me make him feel ashamed."
After she finished embroidering the few poems, Xiao Yue happened to walk in from the outside, "Princess, just now, Empress Mother sent a message to invite you to the palace for a chat."
"royal sister-in-law?"
Liu Ruo Qing folded the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes agilely rolling around, "It's just nice, I'll go to royal sister-in-law in a while to enjoy the wind."
She stuffed the embroidered handkerchief into her sleeve and walked towards the door, her steps light and natural.
But when he left the East Garden, he started to limp. His expression made it seem like it was difficult to walk.
"Princess, is your foot starting to hurt again?"
"No, but you have to act in front of everyone, especially the Empress Mother."
Liu Ruo Qing quietly replied as she walked towards the door.
The carriage had long been waiting outside the Prince's Mansion. Although Liu Ruo Qing was not well-liked in front of Yan Yuan, but she was still an honorable Crown Princess Jing, and the servants did not dare to slight him.
"Royal Uncle, are there any traces of the People from the Divine Artefact Hall?"
"They haven't done anything for a long time. I suspect that they are planning something big. They probably won't be able to take action for a short period of time."
"Yes, these remnants of the previous dynasty should be dealt with as soon as possible. If this goes on, it will become a threat to the commoners and the civil and military alike."
After leaving the imperial court, Yan Yuan was not in a hurry to return to King Jing Palace. In these few years, Shen Ji Hall had been recruiting various opposing powers in the martial arts world.
It must be something more than this for him to suddenly disappear during this period of time.
Just then, the servants of longevity palace arrived in front of them. "Reporting to Emperor, Prince Jing, Esteemed Empress Dowager invites you."
"Got it, I'll go with royal uncle."
"Yes, Emperor."
After the servant left, Yan Shuo's face suddenly had a look of happiness, he looked at Yan Yuan and joked: "Royal Uncle, Mother specifically called you two over, it can't be that Ninth Aunt is also here, right?"
When he thought about that interesting little aunt, Yan Shuo realized that it had been more than half a month since he had last seen her in longevity palace.
When Yan Shuo mentioned Liu Ruo Qing, Yan Yuan's brows knitted together in disgust. Yan Shuo continued to speak, "A few days ago, we heard that Ninth Aunt was injured, so we did not have the time to send her our condolences. This is the perfect opportunity to greet her."
Yan Shuo's undisguised interest in Liu Ruo Qing made Yan Yuan feel somewhat irritated.
Originally, he did not want to go to the longevity palace, but since the Empress Mother had invited him, he could not reject it.
Sure enough, when the two of them arrived at the entrance of longevity palace, they coincidentally met Liu Ruo Qing who had just stepped out of the palace carriage.
"Ninth Aunt."
Yan Shuo called out in a very intimate tone, causing Yan Yuan to hear his words.
Hearing Yan Shuo's voice, Liu Ruo Qing subconsciously looked up and saw a youth around her age wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, smiling at her.
Handsome was always very pleasing, especially when he was so amiable to her despite holding the power of life and death in the world.
He ignored the existence of Yan Yuan and went around him straight to Yan Shuo, "Kaiser's nephew, what a coincidence, you also came to find royal sister-in-law?"
Yan Yuan, who was treated as an invisible person, had a darker expression than before, especially seeing how passionate he was to Yan Shuo, she was even more furious than before, and was unable to vent out any of his anger.
Yan Shuo's eyes did not change as he looked at Yan Yuan. A smile flashed past his eyes, and then, he smiled and nodded towards Liu Ruo Qing, "Mother called me here. Oh, yes, uncle Huang is here too."
Yan Shuo had obviously brought up Yan Yuan at this time on purpose. That kind of "causing trouble" look on his face, was a little asking for a beating.
Yan Yuan looked at Yan Shuo and saw the playful look on his face. He snappily glared at Kaiser and took the lead to walk into longevity palace.
Liu Ruo Qing turned around and glanced at Yan Yuan's back, who was filled with anger, and said snappily: "You arrogant fellow, look. You don't even put this Kaiser in your eyes."
She quietly sowed dissension, but Kaiser just smiled casually, as if he didn't mind her words. This made Liu Ruo Qing a little surprised.
This brat was too self-confident. The emperor's suspicious and bad habit did not appear on him.
Liu Ruo Qing was a little unwilling, she moved closer to Yan Shuo's side and continued: "Hey, are you really not afraid that bad guy will rebel and steal your throne?"
Yan Shuo still had a look of disapproval on his face. Hearing her words, he chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, saying: "We are still a bit worried, will imperial uncle find someone to snatch your seat."
"My seat?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, and when she looked at Yan Shuo again, he was already smiling as he walked towards the longevity palace.
"What's wrong, Princess?"
"Didn't you hear what Kaiser said just now? It must be to remind me that Yan Yuan must have a woman outside! "
She had indeed guessed correctly.
"Princess, don't think too much into it. What Emperor said just now was definitely a joke."
