Chapter 38 - Would her Mistress marry someone else?

The next day, Ronglou woke up refreshed. Tonight, Hongfe will go save his siblings. Huangyu had already informed her that Hongfe left to arranged their exit route. For what that would be, she didn't care. She knew how capable Hongfe in her first life. This tasks would be easy for him and his men. Plus, what could she do? It's not like she had any sorts of powers to back him up. She was only a powerless girl who reincarnated.

Instead of worrying, she decided to bring Huangyu out to shop. Since they haven't brought anything with them, they had been lacking quite a bit of stuff. If not for Hongfe's help, they wouldn't even have extra clothes. Luckily, red robes were common in the Hua Pavilion. She decided to were red as her signature look. To signify her status.

Red is the color of passion, sensuality, and love. As an Empress in her past life, it fitted perfectly to her personality. She represents the mother of the nation, while the Emperor symbolizes the Backbone of the Kingdom. Red is also associated with war, aggression, blood, and a warning. Her reincarnation will bring changes to this land. Not only her future would change, but also the Xu Kingdom's fate. If she doesn't marry into the Imperial Family, The Xu Kingdom would not become the same Xu Kingdom in her past life.

Ronglou wouldn't say that the Xu Kingdom would fall in Fengxin's hand, Just that it wouldn't be able to expand as much. Fengxin and his men were smart. In his men, he also has her family as support. The Yu Family would be there to support his growth as the Emperor. This would never change. She only hopes that by running away, she would be able to find the happiness that she deserves.

"Look, Miss. They have some wonderful silks here. Too bad that we couldn't bring it with us, I would love to make a robe for you." Huangyu touched some raw silks. They were in front of an embroidery shop looking for some ready-made clothes.

Ronglou tapped Huangyu on the shoulder and said, "How could a young man like you make robes?." She couldn't help but giggled while reminding Huangyu about her current identity.

Remembering her current situation, Huangyu bit her lower lips. How could she have forgotten? She scratched the back of her head involuntarily.

"Young Miss, here are your orders. It would be 25 silver coins." A shopkeeper handed the goods to the young man beside her, Huangyu handed him the right amount in exchange.

Ronglou nodded towards the shopkeeper and left. She had bought 2 sets of inner robes, outer robes for her and Huangyu. Since it was still summer, she didn't have to worry about thick robes yet. She was also thinking about buying her own carriage, Ronglou would separate with Hongfe sooner or later.

Having this kind of thought, she decided to shop for dry foods and other necessities that they would need along the road. This was a common thing to buy in Guang Town, hence it was everywhere.

"Miss, should we return first? I can't carry it anymore." Huangyu's legs were shaking. Although Ronglou also helped with carrying some of the things they have bought, It was still too much for Huangyu. Huangyu grew up with her Mistress Ronglou and never had to do any hard tasks. She was a 1st rank servant, making her more of a company and a confidant to her Mistress.

Looking at Huangyu's state, Ronglou wrinkled her nose. "Fine, you go back. I still have another shop to go to. Here, take this and meet me at the same restaurant that we went to last night. By the time I'm done, It would be lunchtime. Just book a private room upstairs with the name Xianxian, I'll find you that way."

Ronglou handed her load on top of Huangyu's load. Huangyu's sight was almost hindered but it was bearable. Luckily, her Mistress' load wasn't that heavy. She should be able to make it to the Inn without tumbling down. "Then I'll meet you there Miss, please be safe."

Huangyu was about to leave when Ronglou stopped her. "Wait, wait. Order me some Pork ribs too okay? That damn Hongfe owe me from last night. Tsk." Ronglou was still furious from last night.

Huangyu chuckled. "Yes, Miss." She nodded and left. Somehow, Huangyu was confident with her Mistress. She seemed to have matured and became much wiser. If someone would try to take advantage of her Miss, she was more afraid of the person's fate. Seeing that the Imperial Family is looking for her Mistress, it would cause big trouble for those people once the Imperial Family found out about it that they did something to her Mistress.

Not only that, Her Mistress knew a lot of people too. Hongfe was one, the other one was named Sheng. Although she wasn't sure how her Mistress knew them, she could tell that both persons weren't ordinary people.

She could even feel that Hongfe was somehow attracted to her Mistress and even the Sheng guy was too. Would her Mistress marry any of these two? She shake her head at the thought. The Imperial Family would surely not let it happen!
