To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C84
“Miss, did you not sleep well last night?” Liu Yue helped Shi Anran change her clothes and was surprised to see that the corners of her eyes were slightly jet-black.
Shi Anran was indeed very tired, her entire body did not have any energy, as she said indifferently, “I’m afraid she has a cold ailment, Liu Yue, go to the kitchen to get some ginger soup.”
Liu Yue nodded and handed the comb over to Lian Xing: “Miss, please wait for a moment, this servant will be right back!”
Just as Liu Yue stepped out of the door, she bumped into Yi Yue, who supported her up, “Rashly, what are you doing?”
“Miss went out to catch the cold last night. I’ll go get Miss some ginger soup!”
“Miss Shi is sick?” The servant dressed as a servant asked in a low voice.
It was only then that Liu Yue noticed the person behind Yi Yue, “Who are you?”
The courtyard of her young mistress was not accessible to outsiders.
Yi Yue explained lightly, “He’s someone from the Third Prince.”
Just as they were talking, Lian Xing had already walked out with Shi Anran. When the servant saw Shi Anran, he politely bowed and said, “Eldest Miss, my Third Prince has a feast at Mingyue Restaurant, and he had this subordinate invite Big Miss over. Since Eldest Miss is sick, this subordinate will go back to Third Prince!”
Shi Anran never thought that the Third Prince would be interested in her so soon, if not, with his cautious personality, he would never casually invite women to a feast. She coughed a few times with the silk handkerchief, her smile becoming weaker, “No problem, since it’s an invitation from the Third Prince, why isn’t Anran going?”
“Miss, your body is in danger too!” Lian Xing whispered.
Shi Anran smiled, “What’s so special about this little bit of chilliness? How could it be more important than Third Prince’s invitation? How can I give face to the Third Prince? ”
Although these words were said to Lian Xing, they were all heard by the servant. Her words were just as she said. She didn’t intentionally flatter him. She also showed her respect, which immediately made the guard feel quite a bit of goodwill towards her.
The attendant slightly lowered his head, gesturing with his hand, “Please, Eldest Miss, the sedan is right outside the residence.”
“Where is elder sister going?”
Just as Shi Anran walked to the door, Shi Anyi leisurely walked over. Today, she dressed up like a butterfly, and there was a difference of heaven and earth between her and Shi Anran’s light green clothes.
“Since when do I need to say hi to my sister before I go out?” Shi Anran was not willing to waste time with her, and followed the servant out.
Shi Anyi had long heard that this was someone from Third Prince’s residence. She had come early in the morning to invite this bitch out, she must have gone to see Third Prince. After watching their palanquin move into the distance, Shi Anyi also sat in the carriage, and followed along at a distance. She really wanted to see how Shi Anran managed to seduce the Third Prince.
Since she wanted to see it, then so be it!
Shi Anran naturally noticed the sedan behind her, but she did not bother to pay attention to Shi Anyi who was behind her, as she gracefully walked up the Bright Moon Restaurant. From afar, she saw Third Prince alone, drinking tea and watching the show. Li Mu slightly raised her eyes and met with hers, the corners of her mouth curling up to reveal a somewhat gentle aura, “Anran, your complexion looks terrible, are you sick?”
Shi Anran smiled and shook her head, “It’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night, Third Prince does not need to worry.”
“So big sister is here. Why didn’t you wait for little sister?” Shi Anyi barged into their line of sight, as if she didn’t know that the Third Prince was here. She happily bowed and greeted, “An Yi greets the Third Prince!”
Li Mu’s face was still gentle, “Since you are outside, Second Miss does not need to be so courteous!”
Shi Anyi’s heart was already blooming with joy. She grabbed onto her hair and sat beside Third Prince, Shi Anran’s eyes revealed a hint of ridicule and mockery, this little sister was really stupid, only a proper wife could get a seat, did she not know if she was faking it or not?
Shi Anran lowered his eyes and blew the tea water lightly, but she still calmly took in the hint of displeasure in Third Prince’s eyes. Why did Shi Anyi never do things through her brain? Although Third Prince looked gentle and polite on the surface, but if Shi Anyi took all of this seriously and acted unscrupulously, then she would truly be stupid to the extreme. I’m afraid that after this, the Third Prince will not hold any good feelings for her!
The waiter instructed the waiter to serve the dishes, but the dishes today looked very special, they were all side dishes that ordinary people would usually eat. Shi Anyi was usually spoiled, even if she did not eat the dishes on the table, it would be filled with a sumptuous meal. She immediately frowned and said, “How can she swallow these dishes?”
Shi Anran tasted it and gradually revealed a smile, “It’s really delicious, I wonder how Third Prince managed to find this special restaurant?” Upon entering, Shi Anran noted that the restaurant’s signature dish, although it was crude, it was still an extremely rare delicacy.
Li Mu did not blame Shi Anyi for being rude, but he said in a bland and gentle voice: “It makes sense that Second Miss is not used to these coarse foods.” As she spoke, he had the storekeeper set up a new table for her. It was filled with all sorts of delicacies.
Since disaster had come from the mouth, Shi Anyi could no longer take back what she had said herself. Now that the Third Prince had spoken, she did not dare to refuse.
“As long as Anran likes it!” Li Mu did not compare her to ordinary girls. Even with this meal, it was naturally a special preparation.
Shi Anran had already succeeded halfway, she still needed some time to get along with the Third Prince, so some words might not be suitable for her right now. “This dish is slightly bitter, but when you try the next dish, you will be able to taste a different taste. It’s just like how people often say, suffering is sweet, only after experiencing bitterness can you taste the sweetness. It would be a pity if you choose to give up before you even taste it!”
A meaningful smile appeared in Li Mu’s eyes as he poured her a cup of wine, “Anran’s words have benefited a lot, let me toast to you!”
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Shi Anyi’s belly was filled with anger. She could only glare at the fish on the plate and ruthlessly insert her chopsticks, as if she was looking at Shi Anran’s smiling face.
“If little sister doesn’t like fish, then you don’t need to be so wasteful, do you?” Shi Anran could not bear to watch any longer, so she reminded her indifferently.
Hearing that, Shi Anyi raised her head and saw that the look in Li Mu’s eyes were no longer as gentle as before. Her face reddened as she bit her lip, “Third Prince, An Yi suddenly feels unwell and left first. With that, she bowed and left in a hurry, she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to resist the urge to strangle Shi Anran to death.
Shi Anyi’s departure didn’t change anything, it was as if no one paid attention to him. Li Mu had inadvertently brought up official matters, so Shi Anran was able to help him resolve his worries.
“Anran, you are very special …” After Li Mu said this sentence, even he himself was stunned. He actually started to care about what he thought in this woman’s heart.
Shi Anran smiled sweetly, a touch of bewitching beauty added onto her fair face. “Third Prince sure is funny.
Hearing that, the praise in Li Mu’s eyes became deeper, and just as he was about to say something, the Ninth Prince, who did not know anything, followed a few of the young masters upstairs. Seeing Li Mu, he was first startled, then said with a smile that was not a smile, “With the good wine, the beauty is by my side, third brother is so carefree!”
