Before Lin Chujiu finished dressing up, half an hour had passed. So, Xiao Tianyao’s figure could no longer be seen outside. And she never learned that Xiao Tianyao came…… ……

  Outside the Xiao Wangfu, the carriage and the coachman along with the guards have long been waiting. But, these guards number is much higher than when she visited the palace.

  The four maidservants put all the things that Lin Chujiu might need in the party to the carriage. But, aside from two spare sets of dress, they also brought a set of riding clothes, in preparation for a sudden unexpected event.

  Princess Fu An’s birthday banquet is not held in Cui Family’s mansion. Rather, it is in Wan Fu Garden outside the city.

  The Emperor gave this Wan Fu Garden to Princess Fu’an. Its name “Wan Fu (Thousand Blessings)” was also given by him, so it shows how much the emperor treasure this younger sister.

  The Wan Fu Garden and the Royal hunting grounds are only separated by a wall. So, the four maidservant specifically brought a riding clothes and a boots for Lin Chujiu without a second thought.

  And just like when she enter the palace, Lin Chujiu directly went outside and didn’t pay a visit to Xiao Tianyao. Lin Chujiu didn’t find it weird. After all, even though she and Xiao Tianyao are husband and wife, they are more like a stranger.

  So, Lin Chujiu felt it’s only normal. However, the four maidservants felt depressed. They keep looking around the gate, but after waiting for a while, they didn’t even see their Wangye to personally bid goodbye to their Wangfei.

  Arghh…… Thanks to that, their words to their Wangfei catching the good husband was proven wrong.

  Outside the Xiao Wangfu, the four maidservants were very anxious. But, inside the mansion, Housekeeper Cao was also feeling the same. And after enduring for a long time, he finally couldn’t take it, so he boldly knocks on the door of the study room.

  “Wangye” Housekeeper Cao continue to cheer himself.

  “What?” Xiao Tianyao asked, but he didn’t even lift up his head.

  The emperor compromise with him and set free all of his confidants. But, it doesn’t mean that he should now sit back idly. Because his 300, 000 soldiers are still on the brink of death. Their lives are on his shoulders, so…… …… he didn’t dare to relax.

  Housekeeper Cao’s heart beats like a drum, but he still bites the bullet and said: “Wangye, this is the first time Wangfei will attend a birthday banquet, do you want to say some reminders to her?”


  Wangye, you should show more importance to Wangfei ah!

  “Wangfei needs it?” Xiao Tianyao was so busy recently, so he had no time to pay attention to such a trifle matter.

  “Er…… ……” Housekeeper Cao chocked.

  Their Wangfei easily manage the Empress, so it seems she doesn’t need it. But…… ……

  It doesn’t mean their Wangye shouldn’t say a thing or two ah. Their Wangfei is, how to say this, is his woman.

  Xiao Tianyao looks at Housekeeper Cao’s twisted face, so he impatiently said: “If you want to say something then go…… ……”


  Housekeeper Cao thought that Xiao Tianyao has figured out what’s on his mind. So, regardless of his old arms and legs, he happily runs outside, but…… ……

  “Wangfei?” Where is the carriage?

  The guard replied: “Wangfei has long left.”


  Houskeeper Cao: “.…… ……”


  *

  In the capital, there were only a few ladies that are more decent than Princess Fuan. But, there is almost no one that is more noble than her. So, in this birthday banquet, no one had dared to arrive late, in fear of making her angry.

  Of course, Lin Chujiu is an exception, because Princess Fu An is Xiao Tianyao’s older sister. But, it can be said that their relationship has always been bad.

  Not only because of the Emperor, but also because they are totally opposite in nature. However, if Lin Chujiu arrive on time, isn’t the same as Xiao Tianyao giving her a face?

  Along the road in the capital, Lin Chujiu didn’t encounter any problem, so she will arrive on time.

  Lin Chujiu and her people are not in a hurry. Outside the capital, the road is a bit bumpy, so the coachman deliberately drives slowly.

  The Wan Fu Garden is close to the Royal Hunting Ground, so the distance of it in the capital is quite large. It will take half an hour before they arrive, so out of boredom, Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but yawn and ask Feicui to give her a book to pass the time.

  The carriage was moving steadily. The coachman is driving slow, so all of them are sitting comfortably.

  Feicui handed her a book, but Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but put it down because the story is all about a scholar and a young lady’s love and elopement. Lin Chujiu only read two pages, but her head already ache.

  Lin Chujiu was readying herself to throw the book to Feicui, but they suddenly heard a bursting noise of galloping horses going their way. Their carriage horse got scared to the loud noise, and so the carriage shakes a bit.

  “Hey, let’s ……”


  The coachman hasn’t finished saying his words, when he heard someone shout: “Move away, move away, this is urgent! An urgent!”


  They are urgently shouting, so there must be a major event. Too late to ask, the coachman and the guardsmen immediately rushed to the roadside to give way.

  *tacatac, tacatac*

  Three horses have passed their way in a hurry. So, soon enough the loud noise drift away.

  The coachman jumped off the carriage and kneel down to ask forgiveness to Lin Chujiu.

  Lin Chujiu is not an unreasonable person, so she let the coachman go up and continue driving.

  Lin Chujiu doesn’t want to arrive early, but she also doesn’t want to be late.

  The carriage moves forward steadily again, but Lin Chujiu’s mood change.

  Hearing there’s an urgent, Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but feel disturbed and felt like something will happen. But, what is it?

  *

  The uneasiness feeling still lingers in Lin Chujiu’s heart until they reach the Wan Fu Garden. So, when the four maidservants get off the carriage and saw her coward looking face, they said: “Wangfei we’re not late.” Wangfei obviously didn’t get scared to the Empress, so why now she’s timid?

  Lin Chujiu didn’t explain herself, she only nodded her head and said: “I know.”


  Lin Chujiu also know that this is not good for her, so she adjusted her emotion to hide her uneasiness.

  After closing her eyes, Lin Chujiu also took a deep breath, so her uneasiness lessens a bit. Then, she revealed a calm and yet restrained smile. Lin Chujiu put her hand on Feicui’s arm and elegantly get down the carriage.

  Xiao Wangfu’s carriage hasn’t arrived, but some guards should already send a notice in advance. Because with Lin Chujiu’s identity, someone should come out and greet her.

  However, Lin Chujiu was already in front of Wan Fu Garden’s gate, but no one still came to greet her. Some guards are standing near the door, but it seems they don’t know Lin Chujiu, so they didn’t pay her attention.

  “Wangfei?” Fecui moves closer and calls her with a bit dissatisfaction.

  This behavior is not only contemptuous to Lin Chujiu, but also to the Xiao Wangfu.

  Lin Chujiu leisurely smile: “Hand them the invitation.”


  “Yes.” Knowing Lin Chujiu’s temper, Feicui no longer said anything. According to the rules, they must hand the invitation to the guards.

  The guards sarcastically look at Lin Chujiu and proudly took the invitation letter. And then, he leisurely opens it and…… …… immediately kneel on the ground and kowtow: “This lowly one didn’t recognize Princess Xiao, this lowly one deserves death. But, please, Princess, spare this lowly one’s life.”


  This act is too fake and scripted!

  Lin Chujiu leisurely chuckle: “Damn wretched.”


  “This lowly one is at fault, but this lowly one asks Princess Xiao’s forgiveness.” The guard constantly kowtow. And soon, his forehead started bleeding, leaving a trace of blood on the ground. As if Lin Chujiu bullied him.

  “Wangfei …… ……” The four maidservants sense something bad. But, they haven’t opened their mouth, when Princess Fu An and the other young misses arrive…… ……
