Chapter 524 The Tyrant's Little Palace Maid (5)
To be honest, after so many years apart, I didn't know what to say. Wangyou was already regretting acknowledging her family.
However, the Xie family's warm welcome eased some of Wangyou's unease. But Wangyou and Feng Qingchen didn't stay long; they had a simple meal and then left.
To avoid making them feel awkward, Wangyou did not reveal the tyrant's identity, only saying that she worked for a wealthy family.
Wangyou's mother, Yin Liuniang, immediately asked if she could redeem Wangyou from her servitude. Wangyou waved her hand, indicating that she did not want to leave the palace.
In the palace, no one dared to offend her. Her food and clothing were taken care of, and no one urged her to get married. Once she left the palace, not only would her standard of living plummet, but she would also inevitably have to get married.
So, to prevent the family from scrimping and saving every day to try and buy her freedom, Wangyou simply dragged the tyrant out and told the Xie family what she was doing now.
Upon hearing that the person outside the door was the Emperor, the Xie family members trembled with fear.
“Little sister, how about your big brother helps you escape? I couldn’t hold you back then, but I will never let you go this time.”
The others nodded in agreement.
"What are you saying? His Majesty is a very good person. Besides, I can eat and drink well in the palace. I don't want to eat coarse food. I can visit my family at the palace gate on the first of every month. You can come to see me then," Wangyou said with a smile.
Wangyou was unwilling, but the Xie family would not go against her wishes. Wangyou left some gold and silver for them to send the younger generation in the family to study.
"Take it. I've heard that there are many places in the palace that use silver." Xie Lao Er didn't want to accept it.
"Just keep it. I have plenty more. His Majesty gave me a lot." Wangyou stopped refusing and turned to leave.
After seeing off Wangyou and the tyrant, the Xie family began to seriously plan for their children to go to school.
Anyone with eyes can see that the tyrant has a special relationship with Wangyou. If that day ever comes, he can at least support her. If not, it's fine; he can always bring her back.
"Young master, young master, may I go buy some delicious food?" Wangyou asked with a grin as she looked at the bustling street.
"Am I starving you?"
"No, I just want to eat it, Your Majesty, please grant my wish." Wangyou had already mastered the art of acting coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, I'll have someone buy it for you. You better sit tight."
"understood."
So, by the time Wangyou and the others returned to the palace, it was already midnight. Fortunately, the tyrant was well-governed, and no one knew that they had left the palace. Those who did know, however, dared not tell anyone.
Her carefree work life became increasingly free. She could sleep until noon every day without being disturbed, and when she woke up, there would be delicious food.
"My life is worse than that of a mere palace maid. No way, let her come to court with me tomorrow!" Feng Qingchen said pettily.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Thus, Wangyou's carefree life was gone forever, and she began attending court every day with the tyrant. Fortunately, the tyrant didn't restrict Wangyou much, and it was common for her to slack off by leaning against a pillar.
However, judging from the extent to which the tyrant is beheading people every day, the court has not yet been cleaned up.
Wangyou suddenly felt that the tyrant character was well-designed. His public image was that of a tyrant, so there was no need to worry too much about killing someone; at most, the rumors circulating among the people would be unpleasant.
"Wangyou, the Prime Minister's daughter will also be attending court tomorrow. Please take a good look at her for me."
"Your Majesty, I only slacked off for two days. Did something happen that I don't know about?" Wangyou asked curiously.
"That's rare, you actually realize you're slacking off!"
"Your Majesty, is there a problem with that Chancellor Fang's daughter?"
"There's no problem for now, except that she seems to have some kind of system. At the palace banquet the day before yesterday, you weren't there, and almost everyone at the banquet heard her thoughts, but she couldn't say anything." Feng Qingchen rubbed his forehead. What kind of blessed land is his Great Qi Dynasty? One after another, they all come here.
"Is Your Majesty feeling unwell?"
"No, that's not true. Fang Xiang confessed to me last night that the girl had been pregnant since she was a child, so Fang Xiang's family has never allowed her to go out. It was only because the Empress Dowager issued an edict that things turned out this way."
"Is Your Majesty worried that this system will be harmful to the country, just like the previous one?"
"That's exactly what I'm worried about."
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will be up at the morning court tomorrow," Wangyou said confidently.
As a result, Aunt Qiu had to dig three times to get her out of bed the next day.
Sleepy-eyed and listless, Wangyou followed Feng Qingchen to court. She intended to hide behind a pillar and slack off as usual, but the tyrant dragged her onto the platform and made her stand on the other side of Eunuch Pan.
No wonder Aunt Qiu didn't come today; she left her here. She wants to see who this Miss Fang is.
Before long, Wangyou saw himself; he stood out conspicuously among a group of grown men.
What's even more striking is her rough and unrefined voice, which is completely unlike that of a girl.
At this moment, Miss Fang was fantasizing about what the tyrant looked like. Although the tyrant was indeed handsome, he wasn't so good-looking as to make her drool.
[Beep beep beep! Warning! Warning! Unknown danger detected! Please move away immediately!]
Wangyou didn't expect that the system would sense her gaze just by glancing at the person, so she looked away.
[Alert lifted. Host, please continue enjoying the show.]
[Little melon, what just happened? You seem really scared.]
Did you see the palace maid next to the tyrant?
I saw it.
[Extremely dangerous, do not provoke them under any circumstances, or you, host, will not only forget about going home, but your very soul will be reduced to ashes.]
Then, Wangyou was subjected to the gaze of the entire court. Wangyou's lips twitched. This system made it sound like she was some kind of murderous maniac.
Wangyou glared at the tyrant with a hint of grievance, all because he insisted on dragging her to court.
The tyrant was helpless; this girl was getting bolder and bolder. However, he was also very curious about the origin of Wangyou.
Who exactly is she?
Miss Fang's thoughts were also what most people present wanted to know: why were they, the highest-ranking officials, inferior to a palace maid?
[She should be a powerful being undergoing tribulation, possessing immense merit and fortune. Most importantly, half of her fortune is the national fortune, but not the Great Qi's national fortune; it's more like a portion of your country's national fortune.]
[What? She actually carries the destiny of the Chinese nation? How is that possible? Could she be from my hometown?]
[No, we can't afford to mess with her, and neither can we in the system world. I remember now, there's a portrait hanging in our system world that looks exactly like her. The old system master told us that if we encounter the person in the portrait in a small world, we must never provoke them.]
Could it be that they just look the same?
[Impossible, her appearance is unique in the entire world.]
But she seems very gentle to me; she shouldn't be as scary as you say!
Miss Fang glanced at Wangyou cautiously. She was indeed beautiful, indescribably beautiful. Beautiful people can't be that scary, right?
