Chapter 009: Attending the Meeting

It is still somewhat comforting, after all, we share the burden together as revolutionary comrades

Dismissal of court

He Chuchu said coldly

In fact, at the beginning, He Chuchu also struggled with whether to conform to Yu Qianjin's elegant style in everything or to be herself. Rather than maintaining a facade every day, it would be better to follow her own feelings more easily. Moreover, the excuse that "a person who has died once will naturally be different" still holds water.

Chuchu... sister-in-law, why aren't you going in

Why not just settle it with our true personalities? If we can't stand each other, we can just insult one another, and if that doesn't work, we can resort to fighting, slapping each other around. However, I estimate that the one who will suffer the most in the end will be ourselves. Moreover, He Chuchu believes she is not that barbaric; she can still manage to be reasonably cultured and understanding.

Upon hearing these words, He Chuchu truly wished to dedicate herself to Pearl. Whenever she found herself in a predicament, she would receive assistance from Pearl. This girl is truly an angel

What? The pearl is left outside, then one is truly doomed. Who knows who is inside?

I stared the whole way, and my eyes became sore; fortunately, that sour face did not launch a sudden attack again

Yu Qianjin does not seem to be like you

A row of palace maids stood at the entrance. As He Chuchu approached, one of the maids stepped forward and intercepted the pearls.

He Chuchu lowered her head and kicked a stone at her feet with a hum.

Your Highness, I must remain outside; there are qualified servants within the Phoenix Nest Palace to attend to you

The uniform gaze of attention that came rushing in made me feel that each step forward was exceedingly heavy

Looking up, the unpleasant face walked away, lost in its own thoughts

He Chuchu sat down here with a mournful expression, simply refusing to go any further

Zhen Zhu helped He Chu Chu onto the carriage, and she sat at the front of the carriage, even closing the front window. This is quite unfortunate; there is no one to converse with as the *illustration* suggests. Am I to exchange glances with this sour-faced person? It would be better to send someone to participate in the X-Factory and eat stink bugs instead.

How is it that this is what you are supposed to do? Are you going to breach the contract?

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and He Chuchu also felt that for those around the wealthy young lady, the changes were quite significant. If they were recognized by Minister Yu later, that would truly be a failure of the scheme

"My lord, have you taken the wrong medicine? I am Yu Chuchu."

Feudalism was too brutal; I used to think the workplace was terrifying, but now, in comparison, the workplace feels like kindergarten.

I am going to attend the court

This is the way to enter

The unpleasant face kept its distance from He Chuchu, sitting upright on its own side

After distancing herself from the prince, she arrived at the front hall, where a palace maid approached and guided her towards the back garden

He Chuchu suddenly remembered that although regulations had been established, there were no specific penalties outlined for violations. So, is it acceptable to take a leave today

I am Yu Chuchu herself, regardless of how impeccable her ancestors may be.

Through the gaps in the rockery, one can also see a tranquil lake surface, which features a pavilion. The clever integration of mountains and water further highlights the grandeur of Fengqi Palace

He Chuchu glanced at the distant Prince Zhi, isn't this casually disrupting fate

Hurry and lower your head as you walk in, a sense of doubt rising in your heart. All the ministers are heading to court, so what is the Prince doing here? If he can come, then why the sour face? Forget it, forget it. Being with the Prince, recalling old feelings, should provide some guidance.

Instead, he leaned closer to He Chuchu's face. He Chuchu was taken aback. Had he taken the wrong medicine, or was there something on her face?

Then wouldn't I be facing a whole bunch of women skilled in palace intrigue all by myself

What should I do next

As for the books, it is truly disheartening at critical moments; regarding this task, I have no clues whatsoever

Damn it, I must not get nervous

The silence on their part implies consent

The carriage came to a stop, and the man with a sour expression displayed no gentlemanly demeanor. He got out of the carriage first, not even casting a glance at He Chuchu. I, Miss, am self-reliant and strong, and I jumped down from the carriage directly, while Pearl beside me widened her eyes in surprise

He Chuchu suddenly realized that this was calling for her

It is not me who is being unreasonable, hm

When will this girl be able to adapt to her own style

With a sulky expression and a hint of a mocking smile, at this moment, He Chuchu could not help but feel that his face was truly deserving of a slap

The foul-faced one advanced, while He Chuchu retreated, having backed up to the point of no return. He Chuchu froze, and the foul-faced one also came to a halt.

During this period of weighing the pros and cons, the unpleasant person has already left through the door. I hurriedly followed, and although riding in the same vehicle with this unpleasant person was a bit chilly, it was certainly better than walking there.

The scowling face glanced at He Chuchu from top to bottom, wearing a look of disdain

Go to the Qifeng Palace

He Chuchu was defeated, and hearing some things from Pearl was enough to send chills down my spine. Even the Ministry of Personnel could imprison someone at will, and all the civil and military officials in the court dared not express their anger. It is better to be obedient.

You should complete your task as soon as possible

The art of flattery has always been executed with great propriety and excellence in the workplace

He Chuchu's heart immediately began to overflow with gratitude

Upon arriving at the foyer, I was unexpectedly met with the sight of a sullen face sitting expressionlessly in a chair, seemingly waiting for me

I know that asking a sulky face a hundred times will not yield a satisfactory answer

You truly have a leisurely spirit

This statement should indeed come from the lips of a lofty and noble daughter of a high-ranking official like you

Only with the picture book can I whisper softly, "Will it kill you to stay with me for a while?"

Everyone's gaze was focused on He Chuchu, while she herself struggled to move forward

The scowling face did not avert its gaze

The next morning, after being awakened by Pearl and getting ready, I had breakfast and prepared to set off. On the way to the front hall, He Chuchu was still wondering whether the sour-faced person would go with her. There was someone who, in any case, had a bit of confidence, even though she did not have any fondness for him.

Why are you here instead of attending court

The unpleasant expression no longer engaged with He Chuchu, directly closing his eyes to rest. In order to guard against his next move, he could only widen his eyes and watch him closely

Could it be that he truly likes her? He Chuchu couldn't help but sigh. So what if he likes her? There will always come a day when that affection ends, whether through betrayal or loss, and what one ultimately gains is always heartbreak

Upon hearing about the sudden change in the title of the prince, I felt somewhat strange, a slight emptiness in my heart. I could not discern whether it was my own emotions or a response from this body itself; even He Chuchu was unclear about it.

With such good fortune, my mood instantly brightened, and I walked over to the sour-faced person with a beaming smile

Upon arriving at the back garden, one finds layered rockeries, with an array of unknown flowers blooming in the center, each one resplendent and dripping with dew from the morning, exuding waves of subtle fragrance

Regardless, in front of this unpleasant partner and the pearl who is regarded as family, He Chuchu does not want to pretend at all. Being together every day or encountering each other daily, continuing to put on a facade not only makes oneself feel exhausted, but also makes others uncomfortable to watch

The court has already adjourned, and I have come to pay my respects

There are some costs of default that we have yet to discuss

Without asking anything further, he walked in the opposite direction of the frowning face, taking He Chuchu with him

The sudden sound startled He Chuchu, and she frowned, not knowing when m.hetushu.com had stood beside her

Curiosity compelled He Chuchu to turn around, just in time to meet his narrow eyes, which were veiled with a cold, icy glint

Just thinking about that scene is enough to take ten years off my life

About ten ladies, resembling aristocrats, stood in groups among the flowers, pointing at the blossoms and conversing about something. Their beautiful faces reflected the various colors of the flowers, each displaying its own charm

He Chuchu feigned a pitiful appearance, blinking her innocent big eyes in an attempt to elicit sympathy

Seeing He Chuchu's indecisive expression, he smiled disdainfully

Your Highness, are you going to accompany me to meet the Empress?

You are truly a gentleman; the policy was just introduced yesterday, and today you are already able to implement it

He Chuchu felt a deep sense of disappointment; in such a vast palace, are you making me search until nightfall, setting me up for failure

Who exactly are you

Well, this is not a matter of being aloof; it is a question of insufficient strength. I cannot compete with them, and the next match might be quite disastrous.

What is an angel

Yu Chuchu

Did you not come when it was time to visit?

Not long after, I arrived at a secluded courtyard, where a vermilion plaque bore the three grand characters: "Fengqi Palace" in a flowing script.

The tip of Chou Lian's nose was less than five centimeters away from He Chuchu's nose, and He Chuchu could even feel Chou Lian's breath. At such a close distance, looking at him, his skin was indeed flawless, smooth as porcelain, every part perfect. However, the only flaw was that he was too cold; otherwise, why would she be shivering all over now

In this way, it has somewhat dispersed the attention and alleviated the tension

He Chuchu deliberately turned her face away, not looking at him, but a woman's intuition told me that he had been staring at her all along

In this situation, should I avoid encountering him

The princess, the pearls accompanied you here.

A person who has died once will naturally be different from the way they were before.

Rubbing my forehead with effort, isn't this akin to staging a palace intrigue all by myself? I nearly smashed the television when I watched that show back then. As for the power struggles, Chu Chu was never particularly skilled at them; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up here in such unfortunate circumstances.

The Emperor is unwell and has only mentioned a few important matters

Yes

The foul-faced person suddenly grasped He Chuchu's hand. He Chuchu looked at the foul-faced person in surprise, still maintaining a blank expression. However, feeling the warmth emanating from the foul-faced person's palm, she recalled that it was this very hand that had led her into the hall and into an absurd marriage. She couldn't help but smile wryly, as if fate was playing tricks on her.

It is the beautiful angel who always saves me, together with the Lord of Wang Neng

Pearl, you are an angel

Zhenzhu smiled apologetically, appearing somewhat flustered

He Chuchu stared happily at the pearl, followed by another big bear hug

The palace maids here truly rely on their high status and the identity of their mistress. Aside from addressing He Chuchu as 'Your Highness' once, they ignored her all the way, leaving He Chuchu unable to inquire about the Empress's habits and having to give up on that idea. Never mind, she would adapt to the situation.

He Chuchu was about to retort when he heard someone calling his name from behind. Turning around, he saw it was Prince Zhi.

The idiotic question, He Chuchu thought, trying to scare me, I have grown up facing fears.

Those who breach their contracts in my hands will face consequences; I want the entire country to be aware of this

In ancient times, the phoenix rises from the ashes, becoming more resplendent each time. Similarly, after experiencing significant setbacks, a person will inevitably make changes to signify their departure from past suffering; this is entirely natural.

In an instant, He Chuchu's mood plummeted to the depths.

The recent personal speculations are merely a display of peacock feathers, a case of self-indulgent sentimentality

The palace maid began to report: "Both Prince Yi and Princess Yi have arrived"

The key question is, where is Qifeng Palace
