To Be a Mighty Empress, Or Not to Be - C99

Shi Anran avoided his touch, “How can a woman’s foot be casually seen by a man?”

“You women are just troublesome. I’ve already said that I will marry you!”

“Can this joke end here? Young Master Xiang, even if you do not care about your identity, please worry about Anran’s reputation. ” Shi Anran spat out each word, her eyes shining as she waited for his reply.

Xiang Rongcheng looked at her seriously for a while before nodding his head: “Yes, but can I see your feet now?” The way she was walking just now was very strange. He must have injured his foot.

Shi Anran was unable to withstand his determination, and could only allow him to take off his embroidered shoes with a blush. Looking at the sparkling blisters on the toes, Xiang Rongcheng frowned, then reprimanded: “Where did you get such a strong temper?

“Nonsense!” Shi Anran spat, disliked him being numb, and turned her face away to ignore him. However, this was the first time in her life that a man held her foot and examined it closely. It made her feel at a loss of what to do.

Xiang Rongcheng let out a light sigh, took out a silver needle and a small porcelain bottle from the secret pocket he carried with him, and said seriously: “It might be a little painful, but you have to endure it, otherwise when the day of entering the palace in three days, you might not even be able to walk! That would be a huge embarrassment! ”

Shi Anran bit her lips. In her previous life, what kind of torture and pain had she not suffered?

Don’t look at Xiang Rongcheng who was holding his sword and killing the enemy without blinking his eyes. When it really came to, he would always feel at a loss of what to do. The hand holding the silver needle trembled slightly, as if it couldn’t bear to let go.

“Hurry up, I’m not afraid of pain …” Shi Anran said with a clear and indifferent voice. The more hesitant they were, the more they tortured others.

Hearing that, Xiang Rongcheng nodded his head, returning her a peaceful smile, and finally started attacking. After he broke through blisters of different sizes, Xiang Rongcheng smeared the ointment on the little porcelain bottle and explained, “This medicine can cure injuries and quickly stop pain. I brought this along with me when I was brandishing my blade and spear, so you should keep it for yourself, but … I hope you’ll never need them after this time. ”

The palace, what kind of place was that? To put it nicely, it was a land of wealth that everyone yearned for. To put it harshly, it was a golden tomb. Once they entered this grave, it would be entirely up to them whether they could live and bring wealth out of it. Shi Anran sighed softly, “I will have to borrow your blessings.”

Xiang Rongcheng carried her and placed her on the horse. He then jumped onto the horse and hugged her from behind. The two of them walked slowly, and after a long while, said sorrowfully, “Make yourself look a little uglier, it’s best if you make the emperor look down on you.”

This was the first time she felt that Xiang Rongcheng was somewhat cute. She pursed her lips and smiled along with the spring breeze, “Didn’t you say just now that you would bow down and greet me in the future? Why did it have to be another way of putting it? You don’t want me to do well, do you? ”

“Are you angry? I was just teasing you, how could I be willing to watch you enter the palace? ” Xiang Rongcheng’s chin was placed lightly on her shoulder, spitting hot air at her neck. After a moment of silence, he said again, “How can I not wish for you? It’s just a pity… “This really wasn’t given by me …”

Shi Anran winced a little, as her cheeks blushed slightly, and purposely changed the topic, “Xiang Rongcheng, are you disrespectful to me?”

“How dare you?” Xiang Rongcheng inhaled a deep breath of the fragrance off her body, and a faint satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

“And something that you don’t dare to do?” Shi Anran replied unhappily.

Xiang Rongcheng raised his head and laughed, ignoring him as he said, “To be honest, I really want to take you away now.”

Shi Anran did not want to play such a joke with him, and did not want to continue with this messy topic. She immediately said: “People have many choices in life, there are people who are obsessed with love and hate, and people who are obsessed with prosperity and riches, maybe I am the latter.”

“Why do you have to make yourself sound so terrible?” Shi Anran, if this is a method you want to use to force me to retreat, then I am afraid you have made the wrong decision, ”

“Young Master Xiang, this is the real Shi Anran, he’s in such a terrible state.” Without a doubt, this was indeed one of Shi Anran’s methods. However, wasn’t what she said the truth?

Xiang Rongcheng did not reply, but after a moment of silence, he spoke with even more determination than before, “I still have the same words. If you are truly willing, I will take you as my wife … At worst, I’ll just go and plead with the emperor … ”

Shi Anran closed her eyes and remained silent along the way. The horse wobbled back to the market, and in order to avoid talking, Shi Anran separated from him, enduring the discomfort and returning to the Shi Family.

“Miss, what are you doing?” Lian Xing’s eyes widened as she looked at her limping back at him.

Shi Anran said in a low voice: “Do not make any noise, prepare hot water for me to bathe in!”

Shi Anran was not able to sleep soundly that night. During this period of time, she did not know what sort of nightmare she had to wake up to wake him up. Thus, when she woke up in the morning, it was obvious that she was not energetic.

There were still two days left. She would enter the palace in two days, and as she thought about it, a faint sense of excitement rose in Shi Anran’s heart.

“Right now, she could only continue to work hard and obtain even more things so that she wouldn’t feel pain when she lost them.” Miss, are these dishes not to your liking? ” Liu Yue asked in a low voice.

Shi Anran did not deny it. “But the kitchen has a different cook?”

Liu Yue nodded her head, and said angrily: “Third Concubine relied on Master to spoil her, and actually sent away many of the servants in the mansion, and replaced them with her own people. Naturally, she changed all the servants in the kitchen, Master did not say anything.”

“Mm, let her do whatever she wants!” No matter how much her father doted on her, her stomach wouldn’t give birth to anything. It was not because Shi Anran was cruel, but rather, it was because this was their retribution.

Liu Yue said in a soft voice: “This Third Concubine is too arrogant, if young miss is not in the house, wouldn’t she be able to rule the world?”

Shi Anran did not have much of a reaction. “She has no child and no daughter by her side now, so no matter how great the commotion, it would only be carried by her alone.

“Yi Yue, after I enter the palace, you all must return to your fathers’ side to serve. That way, the Third Concubine won’t be able to bully you all.” Shi Anran said with a stern expression.

Yi Yue nodded in understanding. “This servant understands.”

Liu Yue lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: “Then, when will we be able to see Miss again?”

Shi Anran herself was not clear about this either. She sighed lightly and put down the chopsticks in her hands: “Put it away.”

Lian Xing walked over quickly, and with a bow of her body, she said, “Young miss, this is a letter for young miss.”

“Did you clearly see who gave it to him?”

“Never seen it.” Lian Xing lowered her head and said.

In the room, Shi Anran opened the envelope and took a look: “Everything is fine, do not worry!”

It was a very simple sentence. Even though it was not signed, Shi Anran knew that it was a letter from Third Prince, and immediately calmed down a little.
