Chapter 200 (2/2)

The empress dowager and everyone else almost collapsed, while the emperor’s face darkened.

“Fair maiden, have you forgotten what you were here for?” asked the empress dowager, wiping her sweat.

“I remember, the emperor invited me. Why isn’t he here yet? That’s very rude of him, making me wait,” answered the spirit girl very directly. She literally said the emperor was rude.

“...”

Everyone fell silent. This Lady Marge was a whole other breed. She called the emperor rude.

Many people don’t even have the chance to wait for the emperor, she was utterly ungrateful!

“I think you still don’t know that my son here is the emperor!” said the empress dowager, smiling.

“...He’s the emperor? Why did he call you mother?” the spirit girl was stunned.

“Yes!!” said the empress dowager and Coldblood Five at the same time, but only Ye Lang could hear Coldblood Five.

“She is (I am) the empress dowager, the emperor’s mother!!” answered Coldblood Five and the empress dowager at the same time.

Not all empires/kingdoms in the mainland had such titles for the royal family. Some houses just used ‘mother’ or ‘father’ at most.

“Oh...I see… So you’re the emperor, I’m so sorry!” said Ye Lang, still controlling the spirit girl. She bowed in respect.

“Granny, no, your majesty, thank you!”

“It’s alright! The ignorant are innocent. We didn’t get to introduce ourselves, so we can’t blame you!” smiled the empress dowager, then she turned to leave.

She wasn’t going to ask about the emperor’s matters. She was only here to help the little princess get her necklace. Since she wasn’t going to get the necklace now, it was time for her to leave!

“Lady Marge, let’s get right into it! Did you buy something from yesterday’s auction?” asked the emperor solemnly.

“This again? I’ve already given it to someone else, please ask your daughter to let it go.”

“Who? What has that got to do with my daughter?” the emperor was very confused, again.

“The empress dowager just asked me. She wanted the necklace I bought, the one the little princess didn’t get. I’ve given it to someone else. I don’t understand you all, did you really have to invite me over just because of this?” said the spirit girl, a little annoyed.

Ye Lang was, indeed, annoyed. So what if they’ve lost something at an auction? Did they have to send someone to get him over to the palace? That was an awful attitude!

All because of this, Ye Lang would always throw dirty looks at the little princess since this meeting, causing her to be very confused.

“Who wants to talk about the necklace? Oh, so that was why the little brat was so upset. It was about the necklace! You’re good, fair maiden, you beat my eighth son, then my youngest daughter!” the emperor finally understood. So that was why the empress dowager was here. The little princess must have gone crying to her grandmother after the auction.

However, from her personality, usually, she would rage at this Lady Marge, probably even using her power and status to threaten Lady Marge into giving the necklace up. Not only did that not happen, but she was also closer than ever with Lady Marge.

What was going on??
