C42 (1/2)

Liu Ruyan could guess what Lin Jinxiu was planning, this punishment was not light nor heavy, it merely wanted to extinguish her limelight.

She wanted to tell herself that no matter how pleased she was with herself, she was still one rank higher than herself. She was the one in charge of the harem for the time being.

If he didn't want to copy it, he wouldn't accept the punishment either. Not long after that, this matter would be spread out!

At that time, everyone would just say that she, the Concubine Hui, knew what's important and what's best for her, but Consort Lee was still fair and generous, treating her equally. She was also a good role model for the harem.

People's words were fearsome. Her plan was indeed not bad.

”Niangniang, this' Female Ring '…” Jane didn't know how to handle it.

”Help me put it aside first.”

As for other things, she would think about them later. It would be better to fix her slingshot now. After all, she promised Fifteenth Princess that she would keep her promise.

After carving for more than two hours, Liu Ruyan was finally satisfied. She let both maid Li and Jane see it once, and said it was not bad.

”Then, Jane will put this slingshot into the sheath that I made yesterday. When I come to find her, I can give it to her.”

”Fifteenth Princess will definitely be very grateful for Empress's efforts.”

maid Li sighed.

”This is what I should do.”

It was already noon, and Royal Kitchen was still Liu Ruyan's daily favorite dish.

After finishing her lunch, Liu Ruyan thought that she should have left school by now. If Fifteenth Princess was coming, she would probably be there by now.

However, she did not hear any reports from anyone, so it was likely that she would not come today.

This child was uncertain, maybe there was some other trick that caught her foot. Liu Ruyan did not take it to heart, and did not think much about it either.

”Empress, what are you doing?” Jane grinded the ink at the side, her heart full of questions.

”Naturally, it is to complete Consort Sister Lee's punishment. Didn't the beautiful woman just say that if I'm not fast enough, I won't be able to copy all of the 'Woman Ring' ten times over? ”

Jane also doted on Liu Ruyan, although this matter was obviously not her fault, but Consort Lee still wanted to make a fuss about it.

”This servant will always accompany the Empress by her side. This servant will accompany the Empress in copying.”

With Jane's words, Liu Ruyan's heart felt warm, and felt a bit more motivated.

Because the previous agreement was in place, she didn't mind being the favored consort the Emperor wanted her to be. Even if it made her seem like a Demon Consort indistinctly, she would recognize her.

However, things went according to Lian Chengming's wishes. He could only do this if he wanted to preserve his own life.

Otherwise, if he lost his life, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

If she accidentally overplayed herself and lost her life, wouldn't everything she did be for nothing?

If she was no longer here, who would protect her father, her mother, and her entire General's Mansion?

Who could help her guard against Liu Mengdia, that wicked woman, from persecuting her father and mother? Wouldn't that mean that she had lived this life for nothing, wasting the good fortune of the heavens?!
