Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Niaoniao had almost forgotten about Shen Zhuo. She did not expect this fellow to come looking for her again.
She knew that this matter was a knot in Xiao Juan’s heart, so she might as well tell him the truth so that he would not let one’s imagination run wild in the future.
“When I was young, I might have had a good impression of Shen Zhuo, but that good impression had been extinguished 800 years ago. I don’t have any thoughts about him now, let alone in the future. If he comes looking for you again, you can treat him as a fart.”
Xiao Juan stared at her. “But he’s going to become the Crown Prince soon.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “So what if he becomes emperor? If I don’t like him, I don’t like him!”
Xiao Juan said, “If he really becomes the emperor, his words will be an imperial edict. You can’t refuse.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “Then let’s leave here and find a private place to live in seclusion so that he can’t find us! But in this way, you can’t continue to be a duke. You might not be willing to…’
Xiao Juan said without hesitation.
“I’m willing.”
Yu Niaoniao immediately beamed. “Then it’s settled!”
Looking at her smile, the corners of Xiao Juan’s mouth curled up slightly, and the lingering and uneasy feelings in his heart dissipated.
No matter what would happen to Shen Zhuo in the future, it was enough as long as she stood firmly by his side.
He would think of a way to fight for the rest.
The next day, Xiao Juan went to the Justice Department as usual. Because Yu Niaoniao had agreed to submit the manuscript before the end of the year, she could only stay at home to rush it.
She was leaning against the table painting when Chun Feng walked in with tea and snacks.
“Princess Consort, please have some refreshments.”
Yu Niaoniao replied without looking up, “Yes.”
After a while, she did not hear footsteps leave. Yu Niaoniao looked up and realized that Chun Feng was still standing at the side. She could not help but ask.
“Is there anything else?”
Chun Feng said, “I saw Little Hai just now. He’s wandering outside the study as if he has something to ask you.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I see. Let him in.”
“Aye.”
Chun Feng turned around and walked out of the study, waving at Ling Hai, who was still wandering in the courtyard.
“The County Princess wants to see you. Go in quickly.”
Ling Hai perked up and hurriedly tidied up before running into the study. “County Princess Consort, do you need me for something?”
Yu Niaoniao asked, “Didn’t you want to look for me for something? I heard from Chun Feng just now that you’ve been wandering outside the study for a long time.”
Ling Hai scratched his head in embarrassment.
“I want to ask you if there’s anything I can do. I’ve been in the Langjun Imperial Palace for two days and haven’t been assigned any work. I don’t know what I can do. I don’t know anyone else, so I can only come to you.”
Yu Niaoniao was enlightened. “So it’s about this. It’s my fault for not thinking it through.”
Ever since she returned to Langjun Imperial Palace, she had been so busy that she had forgotten to settle Ling Hai.
Yu Niaoniao looked around and her heart skipped a beat.
“How about this? You’ll be my assistant from now on.”
Ling Hai didn’t understand what an assistant did.
Yu Niaoniao explained, “The assistant’s matters are very complicated. Let’s start with the simplest. Do you see these drafts? This is a storyboard sketch, this is a line draft, and this is a finished sketch.’
Ling Hai pointed at a map in the corner. “What about this?”
Yu Niaoniao picked up the diagram and looked at it. “It’s useless. Just throw it away.”
With that, she crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the basket.
Ling Hai followed her guidance and sorted out the messy drafts on the table in the order of the scenes.
Seeing that he got everything in good order, Yu Niaoniao was very satisfied and asked again.
“Can you read?”
Ling Hai was a little embarrassed. “I only recognize some common words.”
Yu Niaoniao pointed at the blank spot on the sketch. “Do you see here? You need to write character dialogue here. Fill in the dialogue according to the script. If you encounter words you don’t know, check the dictionary yourself. The dictionary is on that bookshelf.”
She raised her hand and pointed at the large bookshelf standing by the opposite wall.
Ling Hai nodded and replied, “Got it.”
After making the arrangements, Yu Niaoniao let him be and continued to paint.
When Chun Feng came to deliver lunch to them at noon, Yu Niaoniao put down her paintbrush.
She stood up to wash her hands and saw that Ling Hai was still busy, so she said to him.
“Don’t be busy. Come and eat first.”
Ling Hai replied, “I’m just missing the last bit. I’ll be right there!”
Yu Niaoniao wiped her hands clean and walked to Ling Hail s side to take a look. She realized that he was writing the conversation on a blank piece of paper and did not write the conversation directly on the sketch.
She couldn’t help but ask. “Why did you write the conversation here?”
Ling Hai hurriedly explained.
“My handwriting isn’t good. I want to write a few more times on the blank paper to see which is better before cutting it and pasting it on the draft. In this way, I can change it even if I accidentally write the wrong words. I don’t have to ruin your draft.”
Yu Niaoniao gave him a thumbs up. “Not bad. You’re quite smart.”
Ling Hai was very embarrassed by the praise.
Yu Niaoniao said, “If you’re free, you can read more books. You can read all the books here. It won’t do you any harm to learn more while you’re young.”
Usually, Xiao Juan was in the Justice Department and rarely used this study. She was usually the one using it here, and there was nothing to keep secret.
Ling Hai was extremely grateful. “Thank you.’
Previously, the County Princess wanted to send him to school to study, but he rejected her.
It was not because he did not like to study, but because he did not want to cause trouble for the County Princess.
Now, not only could he help the County Princess, but he could also study and learn. It was killing two birds with one stone. He was naturally very happy.
After lunch, the two of them continued to work.
With Ling Hail s help, Yu Niaoniao’s work efficiency increased greatly.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, she instructed Ling Hai.
“I’m not in the residence tomorrow. You can rest for a day.”
Ling Hai replied obediently, “Okay.”
The next day, at dawn, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan set off from the Langjun Imperial Palace.
They had to enter the palace first before following the main group to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
After entering the palace, Yu Niaoniao and the other women were going to visit the Empress Dowager and Empress.
However, unlike the other women, Yu Niaoniao’s face was covered by a veil, revealing only her eyes.
This caused many people to look at her strangely.
When a luxuriously dressed Madam passed by her, she deliberately snorted.
“You’ve already entered the palace, but you’re still dressed like this. Could it be that you’ve been at the border of Liangzhou for too long and have forgotten the rules of the palace?”
Although she lowered her voice, Yu Niaoniao could still hear her clearly.
Clearly, the other party was saying it for her to hear.
Yu Niaoniao glanced at the person and saw that she was very unfamiliar. She did not know her at all.
Seeing this, the Madam immediately slowed down.
“Is there anything you want to say to me, County Princess?”
She thought that Yu Niaoniao would be angry or embarrassed, but no matter what, the person who would be embarrassed in the end would definitely be Yu Niaoniao.
Yu Niaoniao said seriously, “I want to ask, who are you?”
That Madam was speechless..
