Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Chapter 31: Her Mistake?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The servant girl in green replied a “Yes” with her eyebrows knitted before grabbing Luoxia’s collar and slapped her several times in the face. Soon Luoxia’s cheeks turned red.

“Your Grace, spare my life please! It’s all because of Nanny Wang. She asked me to do that... Your Grace...”

“Humph, you should have welcomed guests, but instead you kicked off our respected guests. How dare you deceiving your master? What you did really impress me!” said Princess Anyang calmly, without revealing any anger. But it was such a princess that made Luoxia shivering.

“Ladies, since she offended you, then you can decide how to punish her.”

Hearing this, Luoxia turned pale.

“Your Grace, she’s your servant and naturally you should make the decision. How could we exceed your authority?” Apparently Xianxian did not want to get involved. As the daughter of a concubine, she knew exactly how to take care of herself, especially by stepping outside of trouble and be moderate.

However, Mingyue thought it differently. She was still furious about the previous unpleasantness. “Hum, this kind of servant should be punished based on the Family Rules. Let her smell hell and then kick her out of the Manor.”

“Your Grace, do not listen to her,” said An Rushuang smilingly before bowing to her, “Personally, I think how to punish a servant does not matter, but today is the flower banquet, do not let her spoil the fun.”

Looking at An Rushuang, Princess Anyang smiled and said with less seriousness and more gentleness. “Fine! Do as you said!” Princess Anyang felt this woman somehow made her comfortable and calm.

Hearing this, Qing Lu at Princess Anyang’s side nodded and called some guards, “Tie her up and leave her in the woodshed.”

With tears all over her face and a messy makeup, Luoxia cried, “I’ve been wronged!” Soon she was tied up and a cloth was forcefully filled in her mouth.

When everything was settled, Princess Anyang smiled at An Rushuang.

Princess Anyang had never seen Rushuang before. Rushuang was extremely calm as if nothing could subject her to gaffes. Suddenly she thought of the servant girl, which made her confused. So she asked, “You sent the girl to me? So you don’t believe Luoxia at the very beginning?”

Slightly nodding her head, An Rushuang smiled, “Yes. When Luoxia came to us, she looked strange. She didn’t show any excitement when seeing us attending the flower banquet. If she was on your side, she would definitely feel excited when ladies came to the banquet. But Luoxia didn’t. Instead, she seemed annoyed. So I think she might not be your maid and then I asked Ling Dang to see you.”

Hearing this, Princess Anyang couldn’t help laughing, revealing a row of beautiful teeth. Her dignified appearance was suddenly added a bit of wit. She said directly to them, “You are really bold, aren’t you? I’m afraid Princess Mingxi must be pissed off.”

Saying so, she looked at An Rushuang, “Don’t you tell me that you do not know why Mingxi holds the flower banquet.”

Hearing this, An Rushuang felt a little surprised and then shook her head, “No, I do not know the reason.”

Giving a short start, Princess Anyang couldn’t help laughing out and even double herself up, which made Qing Lu keep whispering to remind her of manners.

Princess Anyang quickly turned to her previous elegance and asked, “Are you the daughter of the Royal Inspector who has just moved to the capital for half a month?”

“Yes.” Smiled An Rushuang.

Suddenly, An Rushuang recalled the moment when she first saw Princess Anyang in the previous life. At that time, Anyang winked confusedly and asked her, “Are you my sister-in-law?”

“Yes.” Said An Rushuang.

It was almost exactly the same in her last life. Thinking so, An Rushuang couldn’t help lamenting in the heart.

Princess Anyang clapped her hands satisfactorily and said, “That makes sense. Actually the reason why few ladies come to my banquet is because of you!” Saying so, she looked straight at An Rushuang as if she was eagerly waiting for her answer, which somehow looked similar to Lu Mingyue.

“Sorry, I do not understand.” Said An Rushuang, slightly bowing to her. If Princess Anyang said because of her there are some ladies coming here, it made sense; but why did she say she was responsible for fewer ladies attending the banquet?

If it was really the case, then wasn’t she making the biggest mistake?

Zhu Xianxian curved her lips and said slowly, “If Princess Anyang only tells her this, she would not understand. I’m afraid you should also mention the Second Prince and her father’s current position in the government.”

Hearing this, Princess Anyang couldn’t help appreciating Xianxian. An Rushuang also felt everything became clear. Although Xianxian did not say too many, she could always get to the point.

Of course, An Rushuang knew about Second Prince. She came here mostly to avoid those noble ladies at the Princess Mingxi’s banquet, but she didn’t expect those ladies would love to see the daughter of the Royal Inspector.

The Royal Inspector was in charge of inspecting officials in the government. Naturally, many people would be happy to butter him up.

Princess Mingxi must thought An Rushuang would definitely attend her banquet, and thus almost all ladies in the capital crowded to the palace. However, Princess Anyang’s garden seemed more desolate than that of her previous life. It was really her mistake.
