I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 617
Chapter 617: Face-smacking!
Translator: Lord bluefire
By convention, when hosting foreign guests in Country A, Shen Ruojing should be waiting at the entrance.
However, she was in fact a Crown Princess, which made her status equivalent to Daisy’s older sister.
Therefore, if she was waiting at the entrance, it would make it seem as if the people of Country A were deliberately trying to please Country Y.
That was why Shen Ruojing stayed in the resting room until Daisy arrived before she came out.
She walked over with confident strides. Shen Ruojing’s posture when walking was different from ordinary women. She had never received formal palace education, and her parents, Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui, wouldn’t restrain her.
Her grandmother, the Empress Dowager, was even more lenient toward her only granddaughter.
As a result, she was unlike the girls in Country A who were bound by etiquette. She exuded a heroic aura when walking. Today, her dress embroidered with gold threads made her seem even more unattainable!
…..
The gentle beauty of Chinese women was different from that of Western women.
Eastern beauty was enduring, and when standing with Western beauties, it might seem less striking at first glance.
However, Shen Ruojing today was a sight to behold!
She wore makeup and bright lipstick, which added a touch of charm. At least, at first glance, she appeared on par with Princess Daisy, maintaining the dignity of Country A’s royal family.
Seeing her, the noble ladies of the major families were dazzled. They were seeing their own princess for the first time, and she was simply too beautiful!
Moreover, Eastern women were known for their enduring beauty. Upon closer inspection, Shen Ruojing’s deep, peach blossom eyes seemed to captivate everyone. Most people felt a thrill when she looked at them, and they shyly lowered their heads.
Shen Ruojing glanced at everyone present, finally looking at Daisy and greeting her with a smile. Just as she was about to speak, Princess Daisy suddenly said, “Hello, my friend” in perfect Mandarin.
Shen Ruojing smiled, took a step forward, and extended her hand. “Hello, Princess Daisy.”
She felt that Daisy was different from Karl.
Karl had cunning eyes, while Daisy’s smile seemed sweet and innocent. After shaking hands, Daisy exclaimed, “Your Highness, you are so beautiful! Apart from my friend Su Muxi, you are the most beautiful Eastern woman I have ever seen…”
Daisy added playfully, “Of course, I don’t make friends casually!’
Shen Ruojing laughed. “It’s my honor, Princess Daisy. Your Mandarin is excellent. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were Chinese.”
Daisy then replied with a smile, ‘That’s because my best friends are Chinese.”
Just as Daisy finished speaking, Karl laughed and added, “That’s because our princess is proficient in 13 languages. To accommodate the Crown Princess, she chose to speak Mandarin to avoid any language barriers between you two!”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense and Daisy’s face stiffened. Karl’s words clearly belittled Shen Ruojing for not knowing the language of Country Y, which was not the way a guest should behave.
The people around also felt the subtle change in the atmosphere.
Indeed, Daisy’s fluent Mandarin seemed to highlight their princess’s lack of language skills.
Karl continued, “Haha, after all, when using a translator, some meanings might be lost, leading to misunderstandings. But if we don’t use a translator, can the Crown Princess understand what our princess is saying? By the way, if I may ask, Your Highness, how many languages do you speak?”
In order to diminish Shen Ruojing’s status in the hearts of the people of Country A, Karl was doing everything he could to slander her! His methods were too blatant!
Shen Ruojing’s lips curled slightly, and there was a mocking smile on her face.
In her usual missions in various countries, the first thing she needed to learn was the local language!
Karl really hit the nail on the head with his question.
A hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, Princess Daisy looked at Karl somewhat angrily before she hurriedly looked at Shen Ruojing and explained, “Your Highness, please don’t mind. I personally love China very much, and my best friend is in China, so you could say that I have been yearning to learn about China since I was a child.’
Shen Ruojing looked at Daisy.
She saw the girl’s sincere expression, not pretense, which was enough to show that what she had just said was true.
Shen Ruojing understood that Princess Daisy might not be on Karl’s side.
She had also learned a bit about the situation in Country Y over the past few days. The royal family in Country Y had been weak in recent years, while Karl’s family had gradually taken control of power. Therefore, even Princess Daisy was not really in control of her own destiny in Country Y.
Seeing the apologetic look in Princess Daisy’s eyes, Shen Ruojing didn’t pursue the matter further.
Instead, she pointed to the entrance. “Princess Daisy, please.”
Princess Daisy walked with Shen Ruojing toward the palace.
The guards were at a distance.
On the way, Karl suddenly looked at Daisy and whispered in the language of
Country Y, ‘Your Highness, do you really think you were invited here to play?”
Daisy looked at him angrily, “What is it for then?”
Karl lowered his eyes. “It’s to teach this princess of Country A a lesson! To show them how powerful Country Y is, and to let her know that she is no match for Your Highness! By the way, you may not know your mission here, so let me tell you…”
Daisy didn’t want to hear what the mission was, as she was now just an ambassador for her country. If she listened, she would have to follow Karl’s orders.
Sensing Karl’s malice toward Shen Ruojing, she interrupted him directly, protecting the Shen Ruojing in her own way. “Karl, we are guests in someone else’s house, and your behavior is very impolite! Please stop talking!’
Karl sneered, “Princess Daisy, it doesn’t matter. She can’t understand what we’re saying anyway. I’ve already inquired, King Jing Zhen was living like bumpkins in China, and they both grew up in a small city!’
The language of Country Y was special and difficult to learn.
It was not quite the same as the internationally common English language, so Karl believed that Shen Ruojing couldn’t understand the language of Country Y.
That was why he dared to speak so recklessly.
After finishing, Karl looked at Shen Ruojing, raised his chin provocatively as he smiled at her, and said in Chinese, “Princess, Your Highness, we were just praising your beauty. ”
Shen Ruojing.
After saying that, Karl looked at Daisy again. “See? She didn’t understand what we just said. So, you don’t have to worry about anything. Your mission today
Anxiousness appeared on Princess Daisy’s face.
She really wanted to interrupt Karl again, but the current royal family had little power. If she didn’t follow Karl’s orders, she was afraid her life would be difficult when she returned to her country.
But to have her suppress Shen Ruojing in the midst of diplomatic relations between the two countries, she really couldn’t do it…
Just as Daisy made up her mind not to follow Karl’s orders and make things difficult for Shen Ruojing, a cold, clear voice suddenly came from the side…
