Chapter 412 - : Being Teased Again (1/2)
“Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, we will make our move.” Ling Chuxi saw how the first prince ended up and then looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y traces over the entire floor and sighed lightly in her heart. No wonder Fu Chengyu did not wish for her to get mixed up in this fight. The palace was indeed a huge vat of dye, anyone in it was stained.
“Wait a moment, Miss Ling. I have yet to properly thank all of you. We’re all right this time thanks to all of you rus.h.i.+ng over. Let me properly think about how to award you with t.i.tles that match up to your current abilities,” said the emperor. Actually, awarding them t.i.tles as thanks them was not the emperor’s true motivation. Wanting to win this group over yet another step was the truth behind his offer.
“Your Majesty has spoken too highly of us. This outcome was all thanks to Your Majesty’s outstanding wisdom. We merely contributed a little energy to the proceedings, that’s all. If Your Majesty really would like to express thanks, the peony cake made by the imperial kitchen the last time was not bad at all. If I could enjoy some daily, that would be good,” joked Ling Chuxi. She did not wish to be too caught up in this whirlpool of royal fights.
“Well, isn’t that request easy to fulfill? Just have Imperial Father send the Imperial Chef over to your manor. Wouldn’t that work then? He could make it for you every day,” said the fifth princess with a smile.
“That would be good. It’s decided then.” The emperor could perceive Ling Chuxi’s intentions and glanced at her admiringly. She wasn’t proud even after gaining such merit, she knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was able to see the big picture always. Ling Chuxi was indeed not a creature belonging to a small pond.
“Let’s go Master. Let’s leave the palace.” The fifth princess took hold of Ling Chuxi’s arm and walked towards the main hall’s doors with her.
“Where are we going?” Ling Chuxi asked.
“Naturally, to have a good meal to celebrate your safe return, to celebrate you winning big time and to celebrate you…” The fifth princess chattered away. By now, the fifth princess had recovered to her usual lively self.
Ling Chuxi laughed. She almost forgot that with her invaluable influence, the fifth princess had also become a foodie of a certain level.
“Imperial Father, I will also take my leave,” said Fu Chengyu to the emperor with a bow.
“Go on,” replied the emperor with a nod.
The fifth princess was chattering non-stop as she left the palace together with Ling Chuxi and the rest.
