Jin Tian blinked and blinked as he spoke: âLing Yan, she has bumpy on her body, does that mean sheâs one of those bad people mentioned by Big Brother?â
Giving a serious look over Mu Ying the older sister, the little peachy princess shook her own head: âShe did not get close to Papa so sheâs not a bad person. Big Brother said, do not let those bad people get close to Father, otherwise Mother will be angry.â
For the little peachy thing, those who provoke or anger her mother are all bad people! Therefore, while they are alone here, she must listen to Bai Xiachenâs words of keeping the female gender away from Di Cang.
âOh.â Nodding like he understands, Jin Tian the little glutton didnât have any objection to the logic.
Papa always said Ling Yan is cleverer so she shouldnât be wrong.
Itâs then a low growling voice came from the tiny boyâs stomach. Without delay, the little glutton reverts back to his silvery fox appearance and lying there on the ground.
This sudden change instantly sent Mu Ying into an alarmed state of course. She didnât know whatâs going on or if she would be blamed for all this, which only made her face white and fearful.
âDonât be afraid, my second brother is always like this. Whenever he gets hungry, he will revert back to his fox form like this.â Smiling brightly without any hint of ulterior motive, Ling Yan had the look of the perfect little girl.
Sighing in relief that itâs not her own fault: âThen please follow me Your Highnesses, I will guide you two to the dining room.â
Grabbing the tail end of her brother, Di Ling Yan happily toddled behind her new maid. Perhaps itâs the thought of immediate food being on the table, but her eyes are also showing more interest than before.
Mu Xue on the other hand was seething with jealousy at this moment after being left behind. Hmph, what a hypocrite! Say you donât have feelings for the king? Then why are you trying to please the two highness? Damn bitch, just you wait. With average looks like yours, the king will never like you!
After that resentful thought, this spiteful girl then narrowed her eyes down into a glare towards where the princess was leaving, If the little princess is this cute then that means the queen canât be too far off. Compared to myself, which of us is going to be on topâ¦. What am I thinking? The king is that handsome, the gene must be from the king himself! Thereâs no way that human woman can be anything more than average, just like that blasted Mu Ying!
Thinking up to here, this resentful and overly confident wench that was Mu Xue has gained a new light in those eyes. Sheâs firmer than ever and was determined to win over Di Cang.
Sooner or later that man is going to be mine, and everything that he controls will also be mine to wield!
In her view, whether it be Bai Yan, Mu Ying or the royal family, theyâre all her stepping stones to greatness. Heck, Di Cang was also a stepping stone, just that she doesnât realizes it yet. After sheâs squeezed the use out of everyone new her, she would readily toss them aside and move on.
Giving one final glance at the peachy princessâs departing back, Mu Xue huffs a snort and turned away like a proud peacock. Maybe itâs because sheâs been so obsessed with her own thoughts lately, or sheâs just that oblivious when the vile and jealous side comes out, but everything she did just now was under the careful scrutiny of those guards picked out by First Elder today. They all saw her behavior and was contemplating on how to report this to their liege.
â¦â¦
Study room of the palace.
Due to how oppressive the atmosphere was in this room, First Elder had started to act all uncomfortable and shaky. Did the king hear already? Did he find out about the rumors? But this isnât right either. If he knows then he wouldâve exposed the whole thing before everyone, why bring me to the study?
