Chapter 1094: Everyone Has Two Faces!

t again, and wait until Jiaren comes home from school to see what he thinks."Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er, of course, wouldn't object. Mr. Wen was Jia Ren's teacher, and now that Mr. Wen was speaking up...Jia Yin subconsciously touched her hair, then turned her head and jumped back into the house, slamming the door shut.

Shui Ling could no longer hold back and covered her mouth, laughing silently until her stomach hurt.

Water clouds came from behind, angrily slapping her twice, but there was a smile she couldn't hide!

In the house, Jiayin moved a mirror out from the space. After seeing her own reflection clearly, she angrily shouted, “Zhao Songbai, you dead brat, you wait for me!”

She knew the Third Princess wouldn't comb her hair, but thinking it was just straightening the messy bun and re-inserting the ornaments, shouldn't be difficult.

To my surprise, this villainous scoundrel actually resorted to dirty tricks!

What a neat hairstyle!

She actually had three pigtails tied up, like strands of rice stalks, crookedly sticking up on her head, looking like a crazy woman!

She didn't know, but the maidservant and porter in the courtyard had just seen clearly when she was standing at the door talking a moment ago...

I'm so ashamed!

Thousands of taels of gold are offered as a reward for the method. How can I erase everyone's memories from just now!

Tap-tap was riding in the carriage, and the third princess sneezed twice before bursting into laughter, rolling onto the cushions with delight.

Caiyun also had a flushed face from smiling, she whispered, "Princess, aren't you afraid the county princess will come after you for this! Just now... just now it was too embarrassing!"

The third princess rubbed her sore cheeks and pouted, "Who let her make me heartbroken! Although it's not her fault, I can't be jealous for a bit. Humph, so many people like her, look at me…"

At this point, she sighed again, and the smile on her face vanished.

After all, it's been so long that I liked him/her. How could I not be heartbroken and regretful now that things have turned out like this.

If Zhen Tong's words were true, perhaps Lu Shaozijie truly had another face, not as beautiful as she saw or liked.

Upon closer thought, it is not surprising at all.

Inside and outside the palace, who isn't wearing two faces

Such a merchant is like the owner of a shop. They are amiable and enthusiastic when dealing with customers, but they may be harsh to their employees and exploit them for cheap labor inside.

Moreover, he was the only legitimate son of the Lu family, who held sway in the southwest. He had been alone in Xindu for many years, responsible for maintaining the Lu family's connections and even conveying court movements to the southwest.

How could a mild-mannered scholar possibly be qualified

The third princess sighed softly and said no more.

Caiyun followed her master all the way from the Lu residence to Baiyun Guan. She could even faintly hear a few words in the courtyard, naturally guessing most of it.

She didn't dare to advise him at this moment, nor did she know how to advise him. In the end, she could only remain silent along with her master...

Soon, the carriage arrived at the palace gates.

The master and his servants got out of the carriage and went straight into the house.

Within and beyond the palace walls, the busiest place is undoubtedly the entrance to the imperial palace.

The third princess restyled her hair and put on her best dress, but her eyes were still red and swollen from crying.

As expected, within half an hour, the Third Princess returned to the palace crying, and the news spread like wildfire.

In the imperial study, the emperor put down his official documents, rubbed his temples, and asked, "What's going on Has the third princess been wronged outside"

Yi Zuo was somewhat embarrassed, because he didn't know either. After all, the several palace maids following the princess were all from Zhi Lan Palace, and he wouldn't go out of his way to inquire about it.

Thus, he truthfully replied, "Your Majesty, this servant doesn't know the details. But the Third Princess went out of the palace with the County Lady and first visited Young Master Lu at the Lu residence. She came out soon after and then went to Baiyun Pavilion to look for the County Lady."

"Logically speaking, the County Princess is intelligent and well-behaved; she wouldn't bully the Princess! Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, or maybe an outsider angered the Princess."

The emperor nodded. "Jia Yin is younger than the Third Princess, but she's very sensible. With her accompanying the Third Princess, I feel at ease. So... it was Lu Zong who made the Third Princess angry Hmph!"

The Emperor let out a cold snort, clearly displeased.

"The Third Princess gave him her hand in marriage, and yet he treated her poorly Last time when he suddenly fell ill, I didn't have the leisure to thoroughly investigate, but he dared to bully My princess again."

"Master Yi can't say anything else, so he said,"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Little girls are always delicate and fret over even small things. They might be unhappy for a long time. Perhaps in a few days, no persuasion will be needed, and they'll be fine."

This makes sense. After thinking about it, the emperor let go of his hand.

There are just so many things that need to be done. Being able to give my daughter even a little bit of free time, and for her to care about it, is already a rare show of kindness from a dying emperor...

Inside Xilong Pavilion, the Crown Prince was also busy looking over memorials.

Not only should we look at the present, but also at previous years, even some old files, and review them thoroughly to have a clear understanding.

Although he was raised in the common folk and grew up healthy and safe, and even studied and learned skills, he lacked much experience because he wasn't in the palace.

Now I can only try my best to catch up, besides working hard, there's no other way.

On the table, a pile of scrolls and official documents, lay a small white fox.

Perhaps out of boredom, the little fox's three bushy tails swished back and forth.

The prince occasionally looked up and couldn't help but smile.

His increasingly dignified and noble countenance, because of this smile, faintly revealed a few traces of its original simplicity and serenity.

"Three, thank you for keeping me company as I look at the flyers. Hold on a little longer, once I'm done with this, I'll have the kitchen prepare your favorite small fried fish, okay"

Three little birds darted into the crown prince's arms, chirping happily nonstop.

The prince was swept across the neck by its big tail, feeling a bit itchy, and laughed even more happily.

"Does your master know you're such a glutton You were bought off with just one plate of fried fish and didn't even go back to Zhilan Palace!"

Three shrank its neck, its big tail like a blanket covering itself, pretending to be oblivious.

The Crown Prince's laughter was loud and clear, but his hand gently stroked the white fur of the little fox.

Feng Gonggong led the young eunuch to the door and, listening to the sounds within, whispered, "Your Highness, this old slave has brought nourishing soup."

"Come in." The prince replied from inside, and Feng Gonggong quickly sent the little eunuch away. He personally brought in the tonic soup and went in.

I have served the prince for some time now, and I've learned a lot about his habits.

The crown prince enjoyed tranquility and disliked crowds and noise.

As long as you attend to him carefully and don't talk too much, even if you make a small mistake, he won't blame you.

Overall, he's a good master to serve.

Master Feng carefully put the nourishing soup on the table, bending his waist and smiling. "Your Highness," he said, "The Emperor is worried that you are overworked and have injured your body. He specially instructed the kitchen to simmer this tonic soup for you."

The prince nodded and replied, "Alright, put it down."

The little fox heard the sound, wriggling out from the prince's arms. It poked its head to the side of the soup bowl, twitched its nose twice, then swiftly retreated.

A look of utter disdain plastered across the fox's face.

Feng Gonggong, seeing the Prince's pleased expression, was quite fond of the little fox and chimed in playfully, "Sanqiao is truly intelligent, no wonder the County Princess dotes on it so much. I hear that all the dried fish it eats are specially shipped back from Quanzhou!"

"Is that so" The prince opened the lid of the bowl, finished the tonic in one gulp, and ordered, "Poor things, there aren't even any fish bones left at Xilong Pavilion. However, have the kitchen fry up a plate of crispy fish for them, they like it too."

"Alright, Your Highness, please rest assured. This old servant will personally watch the cooks fry the fish."

Feng Gonggong should obey and then retire.

Three little [animals, perhaps cats or puppies] seemed restless. Whether it was because they were hungry or simply bored, they jumped down from the table and followed me to the kitchen.

At this time, a little eunuch beside Yi Zuo hurried to report, "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you. Please follow me to go there immediately."
