Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart - Chapter 642

Chapter 642: It Was Because She Had Received His Majesty’s Favor Until Late Into The Night

Lu Yunshuang gave a start and said with some embarrassment, “Weiwei, we’re sisters. Is there a need to act so seriously? There are no outsiders here, anyway.”

Lu Liangwei sighed. “It’s because you’re my older sister that it’s even more necessary not to practice nepotism. Barging in here like that is definitely against etiquette. Anyone with a healthy pair of eyes would think less of me if I were to do nothing and let this slide. Big sis, please bear with this and stay within the Eastern Palace grounds for half a month. Don’t worry, half a month will pass by very quickly.”

Lu Yunshuang choked. She was extremely unhappy with this, but when her eyes met Lu Liangwei’s cold stare, she decided not to say anything in the end.

“I understand. I will obey your edict, Your Highness.”

“That’s the right attitude. Although, you have to remember this lesson, Crown Princess, and not act so rashly in the future. You’re the Crown Princess, and it’s only right for you to lead by example. You should never forget the importance of etiquette. Otherwise, if someone were to hold this against you, there would be no way for me to help you out of it,” Lu Liangwei advised her earnestly.

Lu Yunshuang was angered to the core.

That slut, Lu Liangwei. How dare she show off her Empress status?

Unfortunately, no matter how furious Lu Yunshuang was, she did not dare to say a word about it.

“I understand. Your Highness is quite right. I will be extra careful about this in the future.”

“Alright, then. You may head to the main hall for tea first. I’ll head out to speak to everyone once I’m done tidying myself up,” said Lu Liangwei in a happy tone as she waved Lu Yunshuang off.

Lu Yunshuang was furious. “Yes, Your Highness.”

After Lu Yunshuang left, Zhu Yu’s smile was so wide that it almost reached the back of her ears. “Miss, you were amazing. A few sentences from you and the Crown Princess wasn’t able to say a word in protest.”

Lu Liangwei stared outside the door, deep in thought.

Lu Yunshuang was not someone who did not know her place. It looked like she was trying to verify something when she had suddenly barged into the room.

What was Lu Yunshuang trying to find out?

Right then, Zhu Yu suddenly cried out, “Miss, why are there rashes on your neck again?”

Lu Liangwei lowered her head to take a look. It was then that she had realized that the blanket she had covered herself with had slid down, revealing the black and blue marks on her neck.

Her face burned as she quickly pulled up her clothes. “I’m fine. It could be mosquito bites.”

Zhu Yu went blank. “It’s now Autumn season. Where would mosquitoes be coming from?”

Lu Liangwei was not able to answer this and decided to ignore Zhu Yu. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Zhu Yu quickly followed behind. “Miss, allow me to serve you.”

Lu Liangwei cleaned up and got dressed. By the time she was ready to head out, it was already noon.

The Virtuous Consort and Ji Linghui were now feeling annoyed in the main hall.

Lu Yunshuang was annoyed as well, but she was able to suppress her emotion.

When Lu Yunshuang noticed the annoyance on the faces of the Virtuous Consort and Ji Linghui, a smirk appeared on her lips. She acted nonchalantly as she said, “Her Highness would probably need time to clean herself up before coming out.”

Ji Linghui darted a look at her, but said nothing.

The Virtuous Consort’s lips moved, but she said nothing as well.

Lu Yunshuang felt a little scornful toward them both.

They had been in the Palace for many years and were considered seniors here, yet they were not able to keep a moron like Lu Liangwei under control.

However, Lu Yunshuang was well aware of the saying of ‘The enemy of my enemy, is my friend’.

The more they hated Lu Liangwei, the more Lu Yunshuang stood to gain.

“Do you know why Her Highness woke up so late?” Lu Yunshuang said while pressing her handkerchief to her lips.

She gave a small laugh. “From what I can see, Her Highness might be sharing happy news of a baby soon.”

Her words were short, but it was enough to build an image in everyone’s minds.

As expected, the Virtuous Consort and the Prudence Consort’s expression suddenly changed from their originally calm demeanors.

Could it be that Her Highness had woken up late because she had received His Majesty’s favor until late into the night?

Not to mention, they did receive word earlier that His Majesty had stayed over at Grand Phoenix Palace the night before.
