C110 (1/2)
Chu Lingyun stood in front of the copper mirror in an ochre yellow apricot collar with an apricot bottom print dress and a green lotus pleated skirt, looking at her with an appreciative gaze.
Xianghe quietly walked behind her, and bowed to her respectfully. ”Princess, quasi wangfei has entered the palace.”
Chu Lingyun inserted an Ouroboros Clan golden sparrow hairpin into her bun, turned around and smiled sweetly: ”As expected, it's as I expected, they've already sensed that something bad has happened to Zhu Tong.”
”Princess, do you think they can guess Zhu Tong's identity?”
Chu Lingyun muttered to herself for a moment, and said: ”I should only be able to deduce that Zhu Tong was sent by the Chiron Imperial Family, and not me.”
Xianghe revealed an expression of admiration: ”Princess is so powerful, there are really three birds with one stone.”
Chu Lingyun laughed until the pearl on the side of her face started trembling, ”Remove Zhu Tong who wants to give her all for Consort You, show her and the emperor my sincerity, and at the same time finish Zhu Tong off at the right time in case she discovers your existence ahead of time, and also prevent her from finding out more about it as she increases her position in the Prince Duan. I can also cause some trouble for the Prince Duan and distract his attention.
Xianghe was completely captivated by her clever master, ”This servant has never seen anyone as clever and beautiful as the princess in Chiron before.
”Consort You is nothing, just a concubine bound by the imperial family,” Chu Lingyun said as she slightly narrowed her eyes, ”I also like the emperor, but I never asked the Royal Father to marry me to her concubine in Chiron, because I don't want to be a concubine that belongs solely to him. I want him to willingly lie at my feet and become someone that belongs to me.”
Xianghe smiled: ”This servant has fulfilled Princess Zhu's wish.”
Chu Lingyun cast her a sideways glance, ”You sure are open-minded, but you're not afraid that the Consort You will exterminate your entire clan for treason if they find out.”
”Big Sister Bi You is my only family, where did you get all these people from?” Xianghe covered her mouth and snickered, ”This servant believes that the princess will protect this servant.”
Chu Lingyun played with the pearl by the side of her face, and said indifferently: ”You are the person closest to me in this world, so of course I will guarantee your safety.”
Xianghe was moved by her words, ”How could this servant be able to become the closest person to the princess?”
Although the Royal Father is always by my side and seems to love me the most, but in reality, he is only treating me as a beautiful and docile doll, ”Chu Lingyun's mouth revealed a hint of a lonely smile,” To be able to read and ride an arrow just like that is something the Royal Brother would do. All I need to do is act obediently and act like a little princess.
Xianghe rolled her eyes and comforted her, ”It's not like there haven't been female princes in this world. If you really want to break through this kind of barrier, why not give it a try?”
Chu Lingyun was startled, but still smiled faintly, ”Forget it, if the Royal Father and the mother knew that I had that thought, they would definitely be anxious to death. I will do what the Grand Princess should do, helping my only brother to ascend to the throne.”
”But,” Xianghe said hesitantly, ”I don't think the crown prince is suitable.”
”If he was suitable, Prince Duan and Prince Jin would not be so rampant,” Chu Lingyun smiled, and ssher tone revealed a hint of disdain, ”The crown prince was obsessed with making sounds out of bamboo, and since he was young, he has never paid attention to his work. Everyone in the palace knows that he became the crown prince for the sake of the mother, so he pretended to be modest and not mention it.”
Xianghe said: ”Princess, are you really going to help the crown prince wholeheartedly?”
”Or what?” Chu Lingyun laughed helplessly: ”If only my Royal Brother was Prince Duan, but unfortunately, I ended up with a crown prince, then what can I do, I can only use my intelligence to make up for it.”
Empress Chen sat on the beauty bed with a gloomy face. Below him, the crown prince's head was lowered in silence.
”What's the name of the dancer?” The Empress Chen spoke faintly.
The crown prince shuddered and whispered, ”Call me Ming Zhu.”
A disdainful smile suddenly appeared on the Empress Chen's stiff face, ”Yu Zhu's Ming Zhu, these Spring Dancing dancers, they really have a messy relationship with our crown prince.”
The Crown Prince blushed and said carefully, ”I will never do this again.”
The Empress Chen glanced at his stomach, which was tightly bandaged, and looked a little annoyed, ”A demoness with such a lowly status like the dancers, I wonder what kind of sinister evil intentions are hidden under this beautiful skin. The next time you fall into the hands of the dancers, I'll be the one to send you to hell.”
The Crown Prince quickly kneeled on the ground, ”Your son dares not. Your son swears to the heavens that if you know how to dance, your son will …”
”Alright, alright, stop sending these kinds of things that are specifically used to fool people,” Empress Chen waved his hands in disgust. ”Get up, you are also the ruler of a country, don't kneel down so easily.”
The Crown Prince stood up, trembling, and went back to his seat.
”What should we do with that dancer named Ming Zhu?”
