“Thank you, Empress Dowager Grandma, you’re too good to me! I like you!” Mu Xiaoxiao’s blurted words caused another round of gasps!
“Empress Dowager Grandma?” The Empress Dowager was stunned, taking a while to recover: “You’re calling me Empress Dowager Grandma?”
Uh? Did I just say that? Xiaoxiao was dazed for a moment, then thought, oh my goodness! Time to smooth things over with my silver tongue!
“Grandma, Empress Dowager Grandma, I think that everyone calls you Empress Dowager, which sounds so old! Look how young you are, you look like you’re only in your twenties. We can’t keep calling you Empress Dowager, like you’re some old lady, right? Empress Dowager Grandma!”
Chen Huanghou suddenly stood up, shrieking: “How dare you! How can you be so impudent in front of the Empress Dowager! Guards! Slap her!”
Damn, is corporal punishment the only punishment in the inner court? Mu Xiaoxiao really wanted to teach her that this move was worn out in historical dramas – you need to come up with something new! Even if you can’t avoid hitting someone, at least do it with some creativity and skill! Alas, poor ancients, they don’t even have as many ways of hitting people as modern people!
The Empress Dowager’s face first stiffened, but after hearing the arrogant empress’s words, she quickly came to her senses and scolded the menacing guards: “Get out! No outsiders are allowed to enter during a family banquet!”
The arrogant empress stomped her foot and whined: “Empress Dowager… Don’t you love Ajiao anymore?”
“Ajiao! Xiaoxiao said she wanted to call me something younger, and I quite like this address!”
“Oh yes!” Her heart finally completely relaxed, and she bounced like a sparrow.
The Empress Dowager laughed looking at Xiaoxiao, who seized the opportunity to say nice things: “Empress Dowager Grandma, look how beautiful you are when you laugh. People should laugh more – a laugh makes you ten years younger. If we laugh more, isn’t that great? No medicine, no injections, and we’ll live longer! Take good care of yourself, and we’ll become immortals!”
“Hehe, that’s well said! Your brother is a blockhead, always silent, but you’re lively and charming. I really like you. Come to Ganquan Palace to play more often.”
“Okay, okay, hehe. Xiaoxiao loves chatting… Uh, why is everyone looking at me like this…”
“Don’t mind them. They’re used to being dull. Let’s enjoy ourselves,” the Empress Dowager said with a smile.
“Hahaha, right, we’ll enjoy ourselves!”
Mu Xiaoxiao adjusted her chair, adopting the most dignified posture, and slowly sat down, continuously staring into Long Yutian’s eyes provocatively! Hmph, I’ve come to your territory, and you’re not protecting me? If you don’t protect me, someone even more powerful will protect Mu Xiaoxiao! I’ll make you angry! Just wait, this gang leader will get her revenge!
Hm? Lu people just chopped five godmothers…”
Her current look was indeed quite shocking, her mouth still full of chicken legs...
Speaking of which, Mu Xiaoxiao bit a chicken leg and suddenly noticed everyone staring at her. She looked completely innocent and asked, "Why are you all staring at me?"
That arrogant queen, Chen Mengjiao, covered half her face with a handkerchief and mocked Mu Xiaoxiao: "Oh my, how can you be so vulgar? Can you not talk while eating? You're spraying food all over the table! How embarrassing!"
"Hmph, I am vulgar! Did you want me to look at you? You chose to look at my crude manner and then blame me! And all of you, I was just eating peacefully, so why are you staring at me? Everyone should mind their own meal, why look at others?"
"Who told you to eat so aggressively? Haven't you eaten in days? Do you think this is a beggar's street? This is the imperial palace! Royal family members would never be so unrefined, eating like a beggar! Moreover, I refuse to eat with you. Seeing you eat makes me lose my appetite. You're so disgusting!"
Damn, the arrogant queen wasn't even trying to be refined anymore, saying anything that came to mind...
Encountering an Extraordinary Woman 6
Long Yutian raised his head and looked straight ahead: “This son dares not utter a single false word! It is only because I dare not confirm the young lady’s intentions that I did not leave a record with the Internal Affairs Office.”
The Empress Dowager Chen’s next words were like a thunderbolt: “Do you know what just happened? Your woman was flirting with a palace musician in broad daylight!”
Long Yutian cast a cold glance at Mu Xiaoxiao, his eyes sharp, but in an instant, it transformed into a smile, saying: “Is the Empress Dowager joking? This woman, Mu Xiaoxiao, is the younger sister of the Flower Coat Person!”
The Flower Coat Person was suddenly shocked, looking up at Mu Xiaoxiao with a pitiful expression – with this statement, would he never have the chance to be close to such a lively woman again? He found it strange that he would think this way, having just met her, having only a few interactions, when did he develop the idea of being together with her? He had a mission, he had always clearly remembered his mission, he was someone who could not love, someone who could not develop feelings…
Let’s just be siblings, by becoming siblings, he could cut off that inappropriate spark of emotion, continue his mission, continue to be a carefree person looking down on the world, continue his dirty mission!
So, he spoke loudly: “Reporting to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, Mu Xiaoxiao is indeed this servant’s long-lost sister. Thanks to the Emperor’s favor, we siblings have been reunited, and this servant is immensely grateful, willing to serve like a loyal dog!”
Mu Xiaoxiao had no idea of his inner despair, she only saw his beautiful appearance and was secretly delighted: Ah, he’s truly adorable, that subtle glance was just too cute! Damn, I’m still thinking about good looks at a time like this, I, Mu Xiaoxiao, am indeed not an ordinary person!
The Empress Dowager Chen heard these words and breathed a sigh of relief, then spoke warmly: “Since it’s a sibling reunion, it is naturally a good thing. Li the musician is a musical prodigy, relieving Li the musician’s worries is only right. No need to speak of dog-like service. Rise first! This young lady is quite charming. If the Emperor hadn’t already claimed her, I would have wanted to adopt her as my goddaughter!”
And so, collect it, collect it, collect it, collect it, collect it… Leave a message, leave a message, leave a message, leave a message, leave a message, leave a message…
There are only three of us left, so I can ignore the rules now, right?” the person in the flower-patterned robe suddenly spoke.
