Chapter 197 – The wang Fei’s Intention (1)
Theand old, rich and poor alike celebrated it with great zeal In every street and courtyard, the lit lanterns painted a joyous scene The Imperial Palace too was shrouded in festive air With its every nook and cranny illuht to behold
The eyes of the figure standing on the stone steps leading to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility mirrored the festiveat the road ahead, in anticipation of a tall figure Tonight, it seeain For even after the long wait, they caught nary a glied to see
The palace maid who had been sent to inquire returned with news, she respectfully koed “Your Highness, the e to the Little Prince’s residence”
Lu Wushuang’s taut face eased ever so slightly A glint seemed to appear in those disappointed eyes If I do not pay close attention, those lowly maidservants will not know their place
Life in the palace was indeed a bed of roses While the ue, the women were enslaved by splendor and insecurity Only tilory
There were no other concubines in the palace as of the moment, but that did not mean there were no other women After all, what palace maid did not fancy the emperor’s attention? And what ehness, the Little Prince is seriously ill It is nor said in a low voice She are of herso visit the Little Prince? After all, he issimply looked at her mistress in silence She wanted to remind her that no matter how noble her current position, she was only a concubine, not the Eer Even if a wang fei was favored, there was no denying that she was still a mere concubine
There was a decorum that she had to adhere to And that very decorum dictated that she did not have the status to visit the Little Prince
If these words were to spread, she would be a laughingstock But hoas she to tell her this? She was but a servant
Upon receiving no answer, Lu Wushuang turned to look at her “Dai Ping, what do you say?”
Dai Ping bowed her head and said, “The Ehness and the emperor know of your concern, they will surely understand However, it is not appropriate to go to the prince’s chambers directly This servant thinks it would be better to visit the Cining Palace first”
“You have a point” Lu Wushuang replied
Continuing with ‘decorum’, a prince’s residence, crown prince or not, was no place for a concubine to waltz in A concubine belonged to the harem The hareer’s turf Having said that, a concubine had no freedom to entertain her whims and fancies Her every move, desire, and need, whether favored or not, was bestowed by the n to interfere in thequickly tidied herself Looking bright and beautiful, she decided to go to the Cining Palace She had not seen Mo Rongzhan for several days now Today, she was deter hizhan was in his pri to be fulfilled There was no way he could be without the co, unless… there was another woht his attention However, this was certainly i in the palace, the s were so Neither had he visited her nor had he sent a word Puzzled as she was over his behavior, she refused to ad this current zhan were to see her, he would not be able to resist her–after all, he had chosen her willingly
And in order for that to happen, it was imperative that she visit the Little Prince Moreover, she had the pretext and thePalace, she found out that the Eer had only just woken up from a nap These days, because of the illness of the Little Prince, his mother was also deprived of peaceful slumber It was only today that she was able to relax Hence, after returning from his residence, she decided to take a short rest
Lu Wushuang curtsied and stated her purpose of visit before the Eot word that the Little Prince was seriously ill and hence wished to visit hier raised her head and acknowledged Lu Wushuang’s presence The girl before her was indeed enchanting and char of h her After all, how many such beauties had she not seen? Was not she herself one such in her heydays? One look and the demure facade would be undone
Does she really care about the Little Prince? Ah, I suppose this wine-lover’s heart
