To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C109

“Shi Anran, actually, you’re not that hateful. As long as you’re willing to admit your wrongs to me obediently, I can guarantee that I won’t cause you any more trouble in the future.”

Li Ruoxue was in a good mood, seeing that Shi Anran was not that bad looking, she said something that even she would not believe.

If it was the pure and kind Shi Anran in her previous life, he would have fallen for her eyes long ago. She would be so happy that she would say “yes” repeatedly, but it was a pity that the current her could not be compared to the past anymore.

After hearing what she said, Shi Anran did not plan to take it, but after glancing at her with an indifferent gaze, she said lightly: “Young Master Li, quickly leave. There will be many things you will have to tell me later! “Don’t be late.”

Li Ruoxue, who had never liked to be ordered around by others, suddenly obeyed for some reason. As she thought about what would happen next, her face reddened, as if she had the flirtatious attitude of a girl. Following behind Shi Anran, he slowly stepped onto the long stone steps in front of him.

Watching Li Ruoxue being led away by Elder Zhao, the corners of Shi Anran’s lips curled up slightly. With a slight smile on her face, his graceful figure slowly turned around and left. Xiu Er who was behind her could not help but be dumbstruck, as if the person in front of her was not the emperor’s maid, but an honorable controller.

Based on Li Ruoxue’s personality, she was already so arrogant when she was still a Consort Candidate, how could she be let go after becoming a master? However, after having the memories of her previous life, Shi Anran didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear.

“Aunt, something happened!” Just as Shi Anran fell asleep, she heard Cui Yun’s voice.

She opened her tent, stuck her head out and softly asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Young Master Li angered the emperor, and the emperor ordered someone to kick him out while he was still untidy. This servant heard several sisters say that the emperor was displeased by the fragrance on Young Master Li’s body!”

Hearing that, Shi Anran replied indifferently, and said: This is not something we should be concerned about, I am only in charge of bringing the person over. No need to think too much about it, go rest! ” Shi Anran knew the reason for this matter. The Emperor had once doted upon a concubine, and it was said that the concubine was good at mixing various spices, while Li Ruoxue had untactfully used the same type of spice as the concubine tonight. Presumably, this idea was coming from her good elder sister, right? Now that she had slapped her own clan’s face, Li Ruoxue would probably be more cautious and wary of Li Ruolan in the future, right?

Early the next morning, news of Hong Ling being bestowed the title of noble spread. In comparison to the astonishment of the crowd, Shi Anran was extremely calm, as if all the news did not attract her attention.

Xiu Er, however, sighed with some pity. “If Master hadn’t become the emperor’s maid, he might have also become the empress dowager by now.” Master is not worse than Li Ruoxue or Hong Ling! On the contrary, their looks, etiquette, character, and intelligence were all much higher than theirs.

“Xiu Er, I don’t want to hear it again!” No matter if she was saying it unintentionally or not, Shi Anran didn’t like those words.

Xiu Er bowed her head in apology: “This humble servant spoke too much, master, please calm your anger.”

“Never mind, you can withdraw for now. I’ll go see if the Emperor has any orders in a bit!” Since the Emperor did not go to the morning assembly today, then the Third Prince should be coming back by now.

Hong Ling was dressed in beautiful silk clothes, and upon seeing Shi Anran from afar, she ran over, “Sister Anran, Hong Ling is now a noble person too!”

“Congratulations, lord Ling!” Shi Anran gently and courteously blessed himself.

“What is Sister Anran doing? Why do sisters need to perform such a great ceremony?” Hong Ling personally held her up with a bright smile on her face. It was not hard to see that after Hong Ling’s wish was fulfilled, she became much more confident than before.

It had to be said that Hong Ling was also a rare beauty. A brilliant and pure luster flashed through her beautiful eyes that were like water and like the moon. In this life, Shi Anran had never thought of becoming close friends with anyone, so how could Hong Ling possibly trust him?

Honorable Ling is already a nobleman, so he should be like a lord. To address a maid like this, I’m afraid that it would be too much of a waste of time!

Hong Ling pursed her lips, “Are there so many rules? The Emperor even said this morning that he would allow me to spare myself so much courtesy! ”

“Alright, noble Ling should go rest now …”

Hearing this, Hong Ling’s face reddened, shyly lowering her eyes. “Then big sister Anran, I’ll go first. When I’m free, I’ll talk to big sister at the Palace to relieve my boredom.”

Looking at Hong Ling’s back as she walked far away, Shi Anran felt as if she could see her shadow on her body all those years ago.

“Shi Anran you slut, stop right there!” Li Ruoxue roared from behind.

She came, and Shi Anran turned to look at her indifferently, “Little Lord Li, this is the entrance of the main hall of the Palace, I hope that you will take note of your words and actions.”

Li Ruoxue’s face became increasingly ugly, “You want to use your status to pressure me? Let me tell you, as long as I tell my sister, you won’t even be able to stay in the Imperial Palace.

“Please do as you please, Young Master Li!” Shi Anran said in a soft and gentle voice.

“Let’s see how long you can continue being so arrogant!” Li Ruoxue was furious, she walked over and slapped her in the face.

You still want to hit her? Shi Anran held onto those two hands with one hand and exerted some force through her five fingers, causing Li Ruoxue to immediately frown in pain: “You bitch, let go of me!”

Shi Anran shook off her hand, her gaze still maintaining the gentleness from before as she said gently, “Let’s not talk about why you didn’t bow when you saw me, even if it’s the crime of insulting an aunt, it’s enough for the emperor to drive you out of the palace. Do you know why I didn’t do that?” This was because she hadn’t had enough fun yet. She hadn’t even seen how one or two of them were in such a miserable state. How could they let her leave so easily?

Li Ruoxue clenched her teeth as she held onto her red wrist, and stared fiercely at Shi Anran, as if she wanted to use the anger in his eyes to burn her to ashes.

The corner of Shi Anran’s mouth formed a faint smile, then, with a brush of her sleeves, she turned and walked out. She did not even look at them, nor did she care how ugly the curses of the people behind him were.

Looking at the rows of ministers walking up the stairs, Shi Anran quietly stood at the corner. She knew that Li Mu must have returned at this moment, and he must have done a very good job.

“What are you doing hiding here, woman?” Xiang Rongcheng suddenly patted her shoulder, scaring Shi Anran away, stepping on the back of his feet.

It was clearly just a light stomp, yet Xiang Rongcheng seemed to have received quite a heavy injury. He sucked in a breath of cold air. It was really the most venomous thing in the world, how could Anran be so heartless? Do you really want to kill me? ”

“Young Master Xiang has overestimated a little girl like me. Where did Anran get that much ability to touch Young Master Xiang?” Shi Anran said in a bad mood. Just as she was about to leave, he was stopped.
