Chapter 40 (2/2)

This tio back in

”Yes, yes, give us the details We wouldn't want us to not understand it fully, otherould not be able to tell the news to our friends and families,” pandered someone

Fang Yuxiu was saved fro knocked over by Miss Jun, who had pulled her to a seat

Right now, no one would be able to leave

It would be strange for a storyteller to speak of the Jinyiwei's Thousand Man Commander Lu without permission Since he did talk of him, then it must be because he was told to--and there would definitely be people from the Jinyiwei here

Everybody running ahen they heard the storyteller say Thousand-Man Commander Lu definitely did not make the Jinyiwei happy

Fang Yuxiu didn't dare to guess whether the people who had run would have a happy end, but at least Miss Jun, who had run in instead of run out and asked about the issue, would be fine

Fang Yuxiu felt her palms fill with sweat as the Jinyiwei's poisonous serpent-like eyes looked over the crowd She acted as if she had always been listening respectfully But in actuality, whatever the storyteller said, it did not enter her brain

Whether he was a Thousand-Man Commander Lu or Seven Thousand-Commander Lu, married or a hat was it to her?

She subconsciously looked at Miss Jun next to her

Miss Jun's attention was fixed on the stage

”So which princess did heher pitch to be heard over the din

She was really interested? Or was she purposely patting the horse's behind [1] ? Was she stupid or smart?

Fang Yuxiu couldn't help but question herself

After Miss Jun had asked her question, other people also hurried to ask er to flatter

After several more inquiries, the hall resumed the proper atmosphere for an audience

The eyes of the Jinyiwei on the second floor showed their satisfaction Several of their gazes lingered on Miss Jun for a moment

The storyteller had already recovered When he heard the questions, he took the chance to add several e his fan for a moment

”This princess isn't just some ordinary person She is actually someone the old emperor had personally bestowed the title of Princess Jiuli [2] on”

As he said this, the listening crowd took this chance to cheer wildly, but there were some ere surprised into silence

Princess Jiuli

”e speak of Princess Jiuli, we cannot help but talk about her title At that tied, but for some reason, they couldn't succeed The moment that Princess Jiuli was born, the armor was completed The former emperor was so happy, he said that the ancient Jiuli tribe possessed suchprincess must be a lucky omen and bestowed her the name Jiuli”

So there was this story Fang Yuxiu, as a young lady, couldn't help but listen in, unconsciously turning to look at Miss Jun

Miss Jun's expression was calm, but she seemed to be absent-minded Her hands had actually picked up one of the tea cups on the table

Before, everyone had been running away messily, and then they had co positions had been mixed-up, so obviously this teacup had been used by someone else

Why would she pick it up and use it?

So she was actually scared deep down inside, huh

Fang Yuxiu reached out to push down her arm

Miss Jun looked at her, her serene expression see to snap out of it a bit, and released the cup

As expected, she had forgotten herself

Fang Yuxiu took back her hand and sat back down, her back straight

”Is this Princess Jiuli the daughter of His Majesty?” she asked quietly

Miss Jun shook her head

”No,” she answered

So she knew Fang Yuxiu just wanted to change the subject She hadn't thought that she would respond However, it wasn't strange at all The youngabout others, especially favoring the rich and disdaining the poor

Those relatives of the royal families, princesses and the like, were definitely coe for them

”Then whose daughter is she? The for Yuxiu asked next

Miss Jun raised her head to watch the storyteller

”No,” she said ”She is His Highness', the foral sister”

His Highness, the crown prince? His highness, the former crown prince!

Fang Yuxiu was stunned It was no wonder that the people in the e expressions

So she was actually that dead crown prince's and crown princess consort's child And now, the storyteller on the stage said so too

”and besides this, Princess Jiuli has another identity Ladies and gentleuess what it is?”

Sadly, this ti after hie silence

”Right, as everybody has guessed, Thousand-Commander Lu has married a princess before--Princess Jiuli is the Thousand-Commander Lu's wife's sister”

The storyteller see through the room

”The princess, who had died of illness, was titled Jiuling She was Princess Jiuli's younger sister”
