Chapter 18: The First Confrontation

  Xiao Dezi entered with a face as pale as jade just as I finished breakfast.

  "As jade has met the princess."

  "Get up."

  Actually, Yan Ruyu is quite pretty, with a small melon-shaped face. A woman like her in the 21st century would definitely have many admirers. I thought she would come to me for something, but unexpectedly, she just looked at me, staring straight at me, and I was a bit perplexed.

  "Miss Yan, is there something dirty on my face?" Didn't I wash my face today?

  Yan Ruyu was asked by me and felt a bit embarrassed, smiled and said: "It's Princess, you're too beautiful, I couldn't help but feel some emotions."

  Can't help but fall in love? A girl says "can't help but fall in love" to another girl, how does it sound weird, am I really that beautiful?

  "Miss Yan, you're too kind." I made a gesture for her to sit down. "You look beautiful too." This was genuine praise from me, and she really did look lovely today in her peach-green dress. Her skin was incredibly smooth, not a single blemish or blackhead in sight. It's true what they say about women being more beautiful in ancient times. She was petite to begin with, but the peach-green dress made her appear even more delicate and charming, truly stunning.

  And I - terrible, I forgot to change my clothes. I usually wear pajamas before eating breakfast, but my pajamas are not ordinary styles. I remember when I was watching "The Promise" and liked the long clothes inside, feeling so elegant and casual. So, I specially told the queen; didn't expect that the next day, she would send over a dozen sets of this style of clothing. The queen and the noble consort also like it, and praised my designed clothes as very special and having great talent. Hehe, forgot to explain to them that I have an internationally renowned fashion designer mom. Today I'm wearing a water-red long skirt with water-red flower patterns embroidered on top. There's also a big train in the back, just like a wedding dress.

  "I'm so sorry, I just finished my meal and haven't changed clothes yet, please wait a moment, let me change..." Before I could finish speaking, I heard a sharp voice outside shouting: "The eldest prince, the second prince has arrived!" As soon as the words were spoken, that overbearing man (don't blame me for always calling him that, it's just that I still don't know his name) and Long Yue entered, followed by another woman. What day is today? Why have they all come to my place? While I was lost in thought, Bangzi, Xiaodezi, and Yan Ruyue had already paid their respects: "The eldest prince, the second prince is safe." And me? Should I pay my respects too? No one taught me..."

  "Get up." The domineering man glanced at them lightly, then his eyes lost focus again.

  "Feifei, I heard from the Emperor that you were ill. Are you feeling better now?" Just as I was hesitating whether to bow to them, Long Yueqing had already spoken softly beside me, "This child is just like his mother, a gentle soul." Today, he wore a white robe, looking exactly like a prince... oh, wait, he actually is a prince.

  "I'm much better now, look at me jumping around", she spun around in a circle, "Nothing's wrong anymore. Thanks for caring".

  I find him smiling very handsome, warm and endearing.

  "Since nothing's wrong, just be more low-key from now on," I was still immersed in Long Yue's gentle smile when the domineering man beside him coldly said, "Don't be too showy."

  "What?" I thought I misheard, I didn't offend him, did I? How can he say that to me, who does he think he is: "Hey, what was that you just said? Say it again."

  As soon as I finished speaking, the room fell silent in an instant, definitely because of the tone of my voice just now.

  "I said since nothing's wrong, just be more low-key in the future and don't show off too much," the man said again with an even heavier tone.

  What kind of person is this, early in the morning with nothing to do, running to my place and yelling at me to be obedient: "Hey, who do you think you are? I'm not being obedient, I'm being loud and it's none of your business," As expected, my words brought a huge shockwave, now everyone else is silent because they can obviously feel that the overbearing man's eyes widened in anger over there, the atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.

  "What did you say?"
