Chapter 88 - The Third Miss with the Modesty of a Monarch's Heart

In truth, a woman with a small chest, was not enough to be the laughing point of everyone, but being stared at by so many people, especially with two men amongst them. For a young lady who had yet to leave the pavilion, such a thing, even if the Southern Qi were to be enlightened, was still a very difficult thing to deal with.

Hong Zhong faced the slightly mocking gazes from the side, she quietly ground her teeth and smiled: "Thank you Grand Princess for your reminder, maidservant does need to eat more, to not disappoint Grand Princess's kind reminder." After saying that, she gobbled up the bowl of boiled milk, one after another, as if no one else was present.

After Hong Zhong finished eating the dessert, she felt a sense of stuffiness in her heart, as if she had just punched cotton. The ridicule in her tone became even stronger: "Indeed so. In fact, this princess actually feels that the problem of the Red Third Miss is not something that can be fixed in a day or two, it would be better to eat more in the future, so as to prevent after the elections in half a month, with the Third Miss's beauty and figure, wanting to be the champion among the three thousand beauties is really difficult. "

Everyone could hear the humiliation in Baili Ziyan's tone, and in Baili Ziyan's eyes, it was filled with even more ridicule. Hong Zhong, you slut, do you really think that this princess will be imprisoned by royal brother for two months? As long as mother gives the order, this princess will come out just like that. This time, this princess will definitely make you lose all face!

Hong Zhong did not appear to be angry from the humiliation, but laughed unconcernedly: "Grand Princess, you are overthinking it. maidservant thought that if one had a big chest, he might not necessarily be able to get the upper hand. There are a lot of women in life who are all big-chested brainless people, but being brainless isn't really that scary, what's scary is that: Big chested brainless people still don't know their own limitations, Grand Princess, what do you say? maidservant thinks that since Grand Princess is worried too much, it would be better for you to research how to bathe in ice water. "

"Hong Zhong, you …" Baili Ziyan's expression instantly became a little ugly.

Hong Zhong's words were undoubtedly mocking Baili Ziyan for having a big chest but no brains, and even exposed the fact that her body was covered in ice water from being itchy for an entire night. Those who did not know what had happened, looked at the two with a puzzled expression, while Murong Youqi, who knew the situation, could not help but laugh, and in the end, could not hold back and laughed.

His smile naturally attracted the gazes of everyone present, and everyone was also wondering in their hearts, Fourth Prince Dong Heng, is it really alright for you to be gloating over others' misfortune?

Feeling the strange gazes from the side, Murong Youqi pretended to be calm and picked up his fan to fan himself, the smile on his face shining brightly. Hong Zhong was indeed a person who wouldn't lose out.

Baili Ziyan was originally prepared to flare up, but when she saw Murong Youqi on the table opposite of him, she couldn't help but suppress her anger and coldly snorted sarcastically: "Third Miss is really sharp-tongued."

"Grand Princess is too kind." Hong Zhong raised her brows unconcernedly: "Actually in this area, maidservant still needs to learn from Grand Princess more."

Everyone lowered their heads, looking at their eyes, noses, and hearts. They had long heard that Hong Zhong and the Grand Princess were at odds with each other, and even in the Supreme Academy and the Imperial Palace, the two of them were at loggerheads. Some of them had only heard about it and had never seen it with their own eyes.

Initially, they thought that Grand Princess was harsh with her words and that no one could defeat him. However, compared to the efforts of Red Third Miss in bullying others, she did not have much of an advantage in comparison!

Murong Youqi laughed as he held his fan: "Third Miss, you are too humble, you are simply a role model for the current world's females. This prince has always been fond of being friends with modest people. As he said that, he raised the teacup on the table and saluted Hong Zhong from afar.

Hong Zhong immediately put on a modest look, raised her teacup and replied to Murong Youqi. Baili Ziyan, do you think that just because you have a big chest, you can be that great? No matter how big your chest is, you will die from my anger!

Sure enough, seeing the two of them like that, Baili Ziyan's face became even gloomier, the hand under her robes also clenched tightly into a fist.

… ….

After lunch, Hong Zhong was preparing to accompany Baili Yaoji to the marriage tree to request their autographs, but just as the two of them came out of the kitchen, a palace maid called out to Baili Yaoji, saying that the empress dowager wanted to speak about Baili Yaoji's business. Baili Yaoji looked at the palace maid and asked, "Esteemed Empress Dowager is looking for me, why are you giving out the orders?"

Hong Zhong shot a glance at the little girl and noticed that she was dressed in palace maid attire. Her head was lowered and her face was full of respect, she could not help but be curious, but just as she was about to ask, Xiao Gongnv opened her mouth first, "Esteemed Empress Dowager's aunty is busy right now, so I told this servant to come over to invite the princess.

"This …" Baili Yaoji was a little hesitant.

Hong Zhong looked at Xiao Gongnv and thought that she would be embarrassed to leave him behind. She casually waved her hands, "Princess Yao Ji, why don't you go find Esteemed Empress Dowager first, I'll bring Qingya to go to the marriage tree and wait for you there."

Then I'll go to the Esteemed Empress Dowager first, sister will go to the marriage tree first, I'll be back soon. "" Okay. As Baili Yaoji spoke, he followed Xiao Gongnv and headed in the opposite direction.

Hong Zhong turned his head to look at the figures of Baili Yaoji and the palace maid, only to see that Xiao Gongnv had walked step by step behind Baili Yaoji, his head lowered but her footsteps quick and steady. For some reason, when she looked at Xiao Gongnv's figure, Hong Zhong felt that it was a little strange, but, what was so strange about it, Hong Zhong was unable to tell!

Since he didn't understand it, he decided not to anymore. Hong Zhong brought Qingya and another servant girl to turn around and walk towards the Yue Lao Shu where the marriage tree were.

"Miss, why did we have to go to the marriage tree first?" Qing Ya, who was following behind her, couldn't help but ask. Logically speaking, young miss was beaten up yesterday, and had finally finished tormenting herself in the morning. She should have gone to rest, why did she have to go to the marriage tree to wait for Princess Yao Ji?

Hong Zhong held onto the golden bone fan in her hand and fanned as she walked. She glanced at Xiao Gongnv who was beside him and softly spoke to Qing Ya: "You don't understand this, right? That slut Baili Ziyan, if she knew that we were going to the marriage tree to pray for our blessings, she would definitely not let us off that easily. I went earlier to check out the surroundings, so I wasn't worried that she would cause trouble for us, right? "

His voice was very soft, and only the elegant girl could hear him.

Qing Ya nodded her head, and glanced at Xiao Gongnv who was beside her. This Xiao Gongnv was brought out from Xiwu Hall, and judging from Young miss's appearance, she did not seem to trust her, she sighed slightly, and felt sorry for Young Miss. Yesterday, she had been beaten up, and now, she still had to struggle so hard to deal with Baili Ziyan, and had to constantly defend against the people around her: "Young miss, are your injuries really alright?" Why did she only get hit once yesterday, but she still feels pain?

When these words came out, Hong Zhong paused for a moment, and then, she reached out to touch her own bottom: "Speaking of which, don't you feel that it's strange, that I really feel like nothing has happened today?" If not for her elegance, she would have suspected that she was really beaten up yesterday!

"It is indeed strange." Qing Ya didn't understand either.

On the other hand, Xiao Gongnv spoke up, "Who knows, Miss might be a Bodhisattva that descended to the mortal realm, with the protection of an immortal!"

"Pfft …" Hong Zhong scoffed, "Girl, you really know how to speak! What's her name? Before she came to Xiwu Hall, where did she work for? What kind of people are at home? "

"Reporting to Miss, this servant is called Xiao Su. Previously, at the Raccoon Department, there was a mother and a younger brother." Xiao Su lowered her head and said respectfully.

"Right." Hong Zhong listened intently, and continued to bring the two of them towards the Yue Lao Shu, while muttering to herself: "This is considered my rebirth, wasn't it also a Bodhisattva's descent?" She must have been reborn from the heavens, so she must have come down to the mortal world. Hehe...

"Miss, what did you say?" Qing Ya did not hear Hong Zhong's words clearly, what was rebirth? She could only ask, and seeing Hong Zhong shake her head, a strange thought surfaced in her mind: "Miss, did you eat anything strange last night?"

"Strange things? "For example, a miraculous pill. If you eat it, you won't feel pain?" Hong Zhong tilted her head as she thought about it. There didn't seem to be anything in her memory, but a dream-like voice suddenly appeared in her mind, causing him to be unsure if it was real or fake.

"I truly hope that you can stay safely under This King's wings and let me protect you for the rest of your life."

It was as if he had heard those words through the haze. The voice was cold and deep, like the music of heaven. That voice was very familiar. However, Hong Zhong could not be sure, because even if she was beaten to death, she could not believe that Baili Mingyue would say such words to her: "I truly hope that you can stay under this king's protection and protect you well for the rest of your life."

Is it possible, is it possible, absolutely impossible!

Therefore, the only explanation was — she was dreaming!

In her dreams, she dreamt that Baili Mingyue had said those words to her! Thinking like this, her little face instantly flushed red. Fuck, is he thinking about how that uncle could even dream of dreaming?

When Qingya noticed Hong Zhong's abnormality, she could not help but be curious. "Miss, what are you thinking about?"

"No!" Hong Zhong laughed awkwardly. Could it be that he wanted to tell her that she had dreamed about Baili Mingyue, the uncle, last night?!

An ancient tree towered into the sky, and its branches were luxuriant. It looked to be more than three times bigger than the tree in the west of the city, and as the crown of the tree spread out, it covered more than half of the entire Yue Lao Shu's courtyard.

Many red ribbons and brocade bags were scattered on the surface, giving it a fiery red look. It was truly magnificent.

Because the empress dowager had come to National Temple to pray, the entire National Temple was sealed away. At the moment, it was noon, and most of the famous disciples were resting in their own rooms. Under the marriage tree s, there was not a single person, it was quiet.

When Hong Zhong, Qingya and Xiao Su arrived under the tree, they immediately felt a cool sensation.

Just as the three of them were about to stop and look around, they heard a burst of surprised voices coming from behind Yue Lao Shu. The few of them looked at each other, puzzled.

Hong Zhong shot a glance at Qing Ya and Xiao Su, letting them take a look, Qing Ya was the first to pass through the huge shade of the tree towards Yue Lao Shu, Xiao Su followed closely behind, Hong Zhong was walking at the back.

While walking, Hong Zhong realized that the main hall of the Yue Lao Shu was separated into a row of attics, while the marriage tree was standing in the middle of the courtyard, its surroundings were a field of emptiness. With a few big steps, Xiao Su climbed up, and Xiao Su followed closely behind, walking towards the main hall of the Yue Lao Shu.

As for Hong Zhong, who was at the back, just as she was about to climb the stairs in front of Yue Lao Shu, he felt something pressing against her foot. Lowering her head, she saw a pink pearl.

When he bent down to pick it up, he found that it was actually a pink pearl earring. In this era, pearl white was not surprising, it was extremely rare and pink was also extremely rare, but the pearl that Hong Zhong picked up was round and full, its quality was extremely good, one could tell that it was not worn by any normal family's young miss.

Hong Zhong thought about it, maybe it was a lady who accidentally dropped it. She didn't mind, so she casually placed the pearl earring in the flower pot beside the steps of the Yue Lao Shu. If it really was one of the young mistresses, she could see it when she came back to search for it. It would be a pity if she didn't get trampled on by that careless passerby!

After placing the earrings, Hong Zhong reached the entrance of the hall, and heard a loud cry of fear from the hall, followed by a look of panic as Qing Ya ran out from the hall. As she ran, she pushed Hong Zhong away: "Miss, quickly leave."

Hong Zhong frowned. Although she did not understand why Qingya was so flustered, a bad premonition arose in her heart when she saw Qingya so flustered. She asked with a frown, "Where's Xiao Su?"

"Miss, go out first!" Due to his trust in her, Hong Zhong was still prepared to follow her and head out of Yue Lao Shu.

Yet at that moment, the sound of orderly footsteps rang out from all around …

Hong Zhong grabbed onto the elegance, a cold light flashed past her watery eyes, and a bad feeling rose from the bottom of her heart!

Immediately after, he heard Baili Yaoji's arrogant and despotic voice: "Men, search for me!" Immediately after, a group of guards with swords in their hands rushed over in an orderly manner, surrounding Hong Zhong and Qing Ya. There were also a few people who directly rushed past Hong Zhong and into the main hall of the Yue Lao Shu.

Qing Ya turned her head to look at the group of guards, her eyes darkening. Although there was no difference on her face, she knew in her heart that she had been too careless this time.

Hong Zhong, on the other hand, looked at the group with a relatively calm expression. Until the purple-clothed Baili Ziyan appeared in front of the two of them with her servants, they did not speak and only coldly stared at her sinister face.

Baili Ziyan walked over with a shallow smile: "Hong Zhong, what are you doing here?"

A look of ridicule appeared in Hong Zhong's eyes. Baili Ziyan, you just came out and you already started looking for trouble? Sneering coldly, she spoke truthfully, "maidservant and Princess Yao Ji have arranged to accompany her to the Yue Lao Shu in the afternoon to pray for the blessings of the marriage tree. On the other hand, you, Grand Princess, it might be inappropriate to gather so many guards here, right? "
