C16 Greetings to the Queen (2/2)
After Feng Chen left, Mu Ru Yue became wary as well. This empress didn't look like she was in the same group as Feng Chen at all. As he thought about it, he heard the empress say, ”Even if you become the Seventh Princess' consort, it seems like Seventh Brother doesn't like you, little girl.”
Otherwise, I won't leave you here without a care. ”
The empress looked pitiful as she spoke.
When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she remained calm. ”Seventh Marquis pays his respects to the Emperor. It is a proper matter.”
”Of course, but …” I heard that an assassin came to the Seventh Prince's Mansion yesterday? ” The empress's voice was strange.
”Indeed, it is fortunate that Your Highness saved me.” Mu Ru Yue was neither humble nor arrogant, but her expression didn't change at all.
The empress's face darkened when she heard this, but then she seemed to recall something and started laughing, ”Speaking of which, I almost forgot. I heard that there was a pretty guest in Seventh Prince's estate, and it was said that he was a dancer who came from Thousandleaf. ”I wonder if Seventh Princess has seen him today?”
What about the women in the Seventh Prince's Mansion?
Mu Ru Yue's first reaction was one of surprise.
It could be said that Feng Chen was extremely infamous. All the women that saw her would be terrified.
Seeing Mu Ru Yue's puzzled expression, the empress knew that this was something that Mu Ru Yue didn't know. With that, she smiled even more. ”This girl has lived in the King's Manor for three years already. ”If it wasn't for her status and influence, she might already be the Seventh Princess.”
”But now, Seventh Princess is me.” Murong Yue finally understood what the empress meant. Was she trying to make her jealous?
Mu Ru Yue's words made the empress frown in displeasure, but she then continued, ”That's right. I'm a little tired. Come! Accompanying Seventh Princess to stroll around the palace. ”
When the empress sent the order to leave, the young palace maid, who had brought Mu Ru Yue in, bowed respectfully to Mu Ru Yue. The corner of Mu Ru Yue's mouth twitched when she heard that.
He had to admit that the empress's attitude was rather odd. Because from the moment she entered until now, she hadn't even been given a single mouthful of water!
After leaving the empress's Weiyang Palace, the palace maid said to Mu Ru Yue, ”Seventh Princess, your servant will bring you to the imperial garden.”
