Chapter 47 The Empress at the Flower Appreciation Banquet (2/2)
”Where did this Miss come from? You look familiar.” A gentle voice appeared from the side. A few palace maids appeared at the crossroads. Standing among them, was a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties. Her plain colored dress could not hide her n.o.ble aura. She stood there straight and upright, looking ethereal and calm as she looked at Mo Xuetong with gentle eyes.
Mo Xuetong quickly hid her foot.
”Greetings, Your Highness.” Palace maids curtsied and greeted her. Everyone curtsied together with them.
It was the Princess Royal. Mo Xuetong was curious. The princess she had imagined was a person who was dressed elegantly and was sharp and stern. She should not look like how she did now. She was ethereal and looked as if she belonged in another dimension where everything was clean and pure. One could see that she was a calm and gentle person from her smiling eyes.
She felt completely different from how she was in Mo Xuetong's previous life.
In her past life, the son of the princess' nursemaid had been involved in the incident in Cloud City and had been beheaded! The princess had been determined to investigate the incident and finally discovered that it was a false accusation from the Fu General to drag down the princess and force her to plead with Emperor Zongwen...
After the princess found out about it, she went full out against the general manor. Everything that happened after that was done by the princess. The fall of the general manor had directly caused Mo Xuetong's death. As such, in Mo Xuetong's heart, the princess was n.o.ble and stern. The princess before her was completely different. Was it the princess in this world had changed or was the princess originally like that!
However, no matter what, Mo Xuetong knew that this was her opportunity to flee!
She took two steps forward and curtsied to the Princess Royal. ”Mo Xuetong greets Your Highness.”
She did not hope that the princess would take her away, but at least she could stall for time. Furthermore, the princess would not say what she had said for no reason. The last time Mo Xuetong had gifted her with the orchid, she had also written down the name of the mastermind of the plot in Cloud City. She believed that the princess would be able to solve the case quickly with that. Her nursemaid's son would not die and she would not go against Mo Xuetong's maternal family.
”You are Mo Xuetong, aren't you. Get up. Is your mother Luo Xia of the Fu General Manor?” The princess smiled and asked gently.
”She is my mother. Does Your Highness know my mother?” Mo Xuetong stood up straight and smiled respectfully.
”Your mother is younger than me. I did not expect her to pa.s.s away before me, leaving behind you...” The princess' voice sounded rather sad.
She was only one year older than Luo Xia and they have known each other since they were children. Furthermore, they got along well and were like sisters. It was odd that Princess Royal Mingzhu did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Empress' birth daughter, Princess Royal Yunruo, but was closer to Luo Xia. The two of them got married on the same day. However, the two grew distant after marriage.
However, today, her old friend was already gone. There was only the girl in front of her whose crystal clear eyes exuded faint sadness.
”Princess, the Empress wants these ladies to see her at Xiayun Hall.” The leading palace maid said awkwardly when she saw the Princess Royal talking with Mo Xuetong and did not look like she would leave anytime soon.
”Why is the Empress looking for these ladies?” The princess seemed to only realize that she was blocking the way then. Her gaze turned from Mo Xuetong to the other girls.
”Her Highness likes that these ladies are beautiful and adorable. So she would like to see them in private.” The palace maid did not dare to say that the Emperor wanted to see them, and so could only answer in this roundabout way.
”Then leave this one behind. Third Miss Mo and are quite fated. I have met the descendant of an old friend.” The princess waved her hand casually and signaled for the others to leave.
”Princess...”The palace maid hesitated.
”What? I am just asking the daughter of an old friend to stay behind to chat. Would the Empress be unhappy about that?” The Princess Royal narrowed her eyes slightly at the palace maid. Even though she was smiling, her smile was rather frigid.
”Your servant does not dare.” Her Highness was being too serious. The palace maid was so afraid she knelt down with a thud.
”Tell the Empress that I'm taking her with me. I have always been close with Miss Luo and her daughter is my niece. The Empress won't object to this, will she?” The princess waved at Mo Xuetong and signaled for her to go over with a smile. Then, she turned down another path.
Mo Xuetong immediately followed her obediently.
The palace maid who was kneeling on the path only stood up when she saw that the princess had walked away. She looked at the remaining girls and could only lead them to Xiayun Hall helplessly.
