“What other mysteries could there be about Princess Ruyi’s identity? Isn’t she the child of the Emperor and the Empress?” Ah Yu said to Meatball. “She’s 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?”
If they found the wrong child, wouldn’t 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, don’t do it openly. Just let people know her true identity so that she won’t bear a grudge against you.]
“You know who she is?”
[1 don’t think she’s the child of the Emperor and Empress. From a genetic analysis, she really isn’t much of a match.]
[By the way, I also heard someone discussing in private that this princess’s eyes and ears are very similar to the Empress’s and her temper is also a little similar. But I don’t think that’s right at all. Their eyes are different, let alone their ears.]
[And this temper—]
“I don’t think the Empress is a bad-tempered person, but I’ve 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.” Ah Yu sighed when she mentioned this. “I don’t 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.”
[This is still considered good. The current Emperor only has slightly more than ten palace concubines, and most of them are in name only. Didn’t you learn the history of the Great Chang? In the past, the number of concubines in the Emperors’ harems had to be measured in the hundreds.]
“Just now, you said that Princess Ruyi’s temper is similar to the Empress’s. It reminded me of something. Could it be that she wants everyone to think that she’s very similar to the Empress, so she deliberately pretended to be arrogant?”
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 can’t 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 Ruyi’s opinion, All Yu had stopped for more than ten breaths before turning to look at her. “Princess 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 can’t 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 Minister’s Residence and the Imperial Cabinet, and present it to the Imperial Court. Your Highness, please conduct yourself with more dignity!” Princess Ruyi: “Little girl, don’t try to scare me! I, I, I’m not afraid!”
“Yes, if Princess can speak without the trembling in your voice, your credibility will be even higher.” Ah Yu looked at Liu Fang, whose face was completely swollen. She really could not like this princess. “In addition, since Princess injured our people, you have to bear responsibility for their medicine fee.”
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 didn’t 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 Commander’s uniform. There was a half-moon pattern on it, making Ah Yu look like a calm young adult.
“Commander, what’s going on? Where’s Princess Ruyi?” Xie Zhen hurriedly asked, “I 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?”
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: “It’s nothing serious. Oh, speaking of which, there’s still one thing. Perhaps it won’t be long before she sends someone to deliver the money. At that time, you’ll be in charge of receiving it..”
