âWhat other mysteries could there be about Princess Ruyiâs identity? Isnât she the child of the Emperor and the Empress?â Ah Yu said to Meatball. âSheâs a child that was so difficult to find in the first place. They should have thoroughly handled all the information before bringing her back, right?â
If they found the wrong child, wouldnât that make the royal family look very incompetent?
[Are you going to complete this mission? You will be rewarded with some points. If you want to do it, donât do it openly. Just let people know her true identity so that she wonât bear a grudge against you.]
âYou know who she is?â
[1 donât think sheâs the child of the Emperor and Empress. From a genetic analysis, she really isnât much of a match.]
[By the way, I also heard someone discussing in private that this princessâs eyes and ears are very similar to the Empressâs and her temper is also a little similar. But I donât think thatâs right at all. Their eyes are different, let alone their ears.]
[And this temperâ]
âI donât think the Empress is a bad-tempered person, but Iâve heard some things. They said that the Empress used to have a bad temper and liked to punish the palace servants. In the past, she punished all the concubines in the palace.â Ah Yu sighed when she mentioned this. âI donât know if 1 should pity the Empress or those concubines. They only have one husband. It seems that none of them are at fault, but everyone is unhappy.â
[This is still considered good. The current Emperor only has slightly more than ten palace concubines, and most of them are in name only. Didnât you learn the history of the Great Chang? In the past, the number of concubines in the Emperorsâ harems had to be measured in the hundreds.]
âJust now, you said that Princess Ruyiâs temper is similar to the Empressâs. It reminded me of something. Could it be that she wants everyone to think that sheâs very similar to the Empress, so she deliberately pretended to be arrogant?â
After all, when this princess pretended to be fierce, she looked like a fox borrowing the might of a tiger.
[Forget about that. She bullied our people. We canât let her get away with it just like that.]
Ah Yu was the commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau. The people here were protected by her. How could she let an idiot bully them?
The time the two of them spent chatting through the spatial pocket was actually not long. In Princess Ruyiâs opinion, All Yu had stopped for more than ten breaths before turning to look at her. âPrincess Ruyi, having spent so much time in the palace, you seem to have forgotten the proper protocols for conduct in the imperial city. Regardless of who wants to move around, they must seek permission. Even as a princess, there are many places you canât wander into recklessly. Our Astrology Bureau is a small temple, but not just any Buddha can enter. Today, you came to my Astrology Bureau and assaulted our people without reason. You even harbored improper intentions towards my diligent subordinate and wanted to kill him to cover it up. I will truthfully report this to the Ministerâs Residence and the Imperial Cabinet, and present it to the Imperial Court. Your Highness, please conduct yourself with more dignity!â Princess Ruyi: âLittle girl, donât try to scare me! I, I, Iâm not afraid!â
âYes, if Princess can speak without the trembling in your voice, your credibility will be even higher.â Ah Yu looked at Liu Fang, whose face was completely swollen. She really could not like this princess. âIn addition, since Princess injured our people, you have to bear responsibility for their medicine fee.â
Just as Princess Ruyi was about to say something, her thoughts were disrupted by her words. In a daze, she threw out an IOU for 200 taels of silver and left like a thief.
About 15 minutes later, Xie Zhen ran over, panting, followed by more than 10 people.
He originally thought that he would see a mess, but he didnât expect to only see Ah Yu and the others drying ancient books in the courtyard.
The smoky green undershirt looked lively on her, and the top was her usual Commanderâs uniform. There was a half-moon pattern on it, making Ah Yu look like a calm young adult.
âCommander, whatâs going on? Whereâs Princess Ruyi?â Xie Zhen hurriedly asked, âI originally went to the Hanlin Academy to submit an official document, but 1 heard that Princess Ruyi had brought people over here to cause trouble, so I hurriedly begged a few colleagues to come over. Has she already left? Or did she not come?â
For a moment, Xie Zhen was a little confused.
Someone would come to the Astrology Divination Bureau to cause trouble. This was also something he did not expect. His identity might be nothing in the eyes of others, but no one would take the initiative to provoke him, let alone a princess who had only been acknowledged a few years ago.
Ah Yu: âItâs nothing serious. Oh, speaking of which, thereâs still one thing. Perhaps it wonât be long before she sends someone to deliver the money. At that time, youâll be in charge of receiving it..â
