Chapter 971: Who Are You Bringing to the Palace Banquet Tonight?
But the lady didn’t want glory or honor. She didn’t care at all about the emperor’s comings and goings. She requested to stay in a quiet corner of the imperial palace, far from the emperor’s chambers.
The wet nurse also knew that it was impossible for the lady to rise in status in Heavenly Wind Empire.
The slave system was too ingrained in Heavenly Wind Empire.
“I know. You’re tired, too. I’ll keep an eye on the crown prince when he’s asleep. You should rest.”
The wet nurse shook her head. “I’m not tired. Why don’t you get some rest? You still have something on tonight.”
Qian’er smiled. “It’s nothing; I’m just happy about seeing my master. I wonder how big her belly is.”
The wet nurse smiled. “It must be very big. The princess’s belly was already as big as a watermelon when you left last time.”
Qian’er nodded. “It would be best if she has a smooth delivery.”
“Of course. The princess looks like a blessed person. Even the heavens are on her side.”
Qian’er chuckled, but didn’t respond.
She knew best about Gu Bailu. Not only weren’t the heavens on her side, they also wanted to kill her with a heavenly retribution.
However, she was definitely blessed; not even the heavens could kill her.
Hehe.
Gu Bailu sent someone to tell Bu Yaolian and Qian’er that they would be going to the imperial palace tonight, so the three of them could have a good chat.
Bu Yaolian screamed. If she had known that Qian’er would be coming today, she wouldn’t have done anything to make Shao Zun angry last night.
Shao Zun definitely wouldn’t take her to the imperial banquet.
He hadn’t eaten at her place the whole day, so he had to still be angry.
But she thought of how Qian’er was coming, and she had to see her after not meeting for so long.
What should she do…
Would she be thrown out if she shamelessly begged for Shao Zun’s forgiveness?
Bu Yaolian slowly left the room and went to the study. When she saw Su Sheng at the door, she ran over with a smile and asked softly, “Su Sheng, is Shao Zun here?”
“Miss Lian’er, Shao Zun is here, but he’s busy right now. It’s best that you don’t disturb him.”
Bu Yaolian nodded. “Do you know who he’s taking to the imperial banquet tonight?”
Su Sheng smiled. “I really don’t know.”
“Can you ask him for me?” Bu Yaolian smiled at him.
Su Sheng couldn’t refuse such a smile. Besides, he knew that although Miss Su Lian had made Shao Zun angry last night, Shao Zun wouldn’t really ignore her.
After all, there was only one person Shao Zun was willing to touch.
He didn’t know if there would be another one in the future, but there was only one so far.
That was why Su Sheng had given Bu Yaolian a reminder last night.
It was out of kindness, as well as in defense of his master.
“Shao Zun is in the middle of a meeting. I’ll be scolded if I go in. You can go back first. I’ll let you know once I find out,” Su Sheng said respectfully.
Bu Yaolian could only return to her room angrily.
Thinking that she might not be able to go to the imperial banquet tonight, she felt especially aggrieved.
Whatever. If Shao Zun didn’t take her, she would go in secret. In any case, Shao Zun wouldn’t have somebody watch her to prevent her from going out.
Bu Yaolian felt that as long as someone decided to go all the way, their horizon immediately widened up.
She had a good afternoon nap. When she woke up, the sky was filled with thunder and rain drummed on the roof.
Bu Yaolian saw a few ice-like fragments on the windowsill and said in surprise, “This… This is hail.”
