She had heard their previous conversation outside with Xiao Linzi but couldn’t be bothered to intervene. Since she wanted to come in, let her come in and see what she could do. Remaining calm and waiting was her usual approach. Shan Xiaoya looked at this woman who appeared gentle and beautiful but actually disgusted her, and gave a subtle smile. She pulled her hand back and blurted out: “Lifei? What a vulgar name.”
“She noticed the instant change in her expression.
Shan Xiaoya acted as if nothing had happened and stood up. “Lifei, if you wanted to see me, you’ve seen me now. I won’t see you off.” She didn’t even look at Lifei and walked inside…
Lifei’s face alternated between red and white, her jade teeth grinding. She had never been treated this way. Shunyang Princess, I’ll remember you. If I don’t make your life difficult, I’m not Lifei… Gritting her teeth, Lifei angrily left the Shunyang Palace…
In the golden palace, a woman covered her face and wept, her voice wavering. Tearful Lifei cried: “Your Majesty, this concubine went to see Princess Shunyang with good intentions, but she actually mocked me. You must stand up for this concubine!”
Man Hanting smiled and patted Lifei’s shoulder, comforting her: “Let it go that the princess said something. Don’t take it to heart. Shall I accompany you today?”
Lifei’s tearful eyes narrowed. “Is Your Majesty truly saying this?”
Man Hanting’s mind flashed with Shan Xiaoya’s proud face. “A monarch’s word is binding.”
Lifei happily nodded, and her tears miraculously disappeared.
Dan Xiaoya waved her hand and said coldly, “How many times have I told you? Don’t kneel so easily. There are no slaves in the Shunyang Palace.”
“Yes!” Xiaolinzi stood to the side. Having been with this princess for a day, he found that although she was cold and not enthusiastic about anything, she was still quite good. He genuinely liked this princess. “Princess!”
“Xiaolinzi, where in Manyi Country are there any enlightened high monks? There are only people who know strange and mysterious arts.”
Xiaolinzi thought carefully and said seriously, “Princess, if we’re talking about the most powerful, it should be Master Kongjing, the abbot of Tian’en Temple.”
“Where can I find him?”
“Tian’en Temple in the Golden Sun Country.”
