"Old Ancestor Lan Xin."
Princess Su Yun called out from a distance.
That graceful figure slowly turned around.
Her face was no longer young, fully resembling a mature beauty in her middle age. Yet, the expression between her brows was serene and gentle, tender and gracious, just like a bowl of warm water at the perfect temperature, making one unconsciously overlook her age and rember only the breathtaking mont of her turning around.
"This Queen Lan Xin is really beautiful, so charming." Princess Hua Rui swallowed with a gulp.
"..." Princess Su Yun flicked her forehead, whispering in an annoyed tone, "It’s fine to praise her, but why are you swallowing your saliva?"
"Oh~ It’s not for , it’s for Hundred Refinents True Monarch~" Princess Hua Rui patted her forehead, still smiling cheerfully, "No wonder that old man has been pining for Aunt Lan Xin for so long, never losing his devotion. Oh no, oh no, now that she’s on the move, who’s going to resist her? My Forty-Seventh Uncle is in big trouble!"
"You child, why do you side with others?" Princess Su Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "That’s your uncle, and he carries the mission of digging walls. Can’t you hope a little better for him?"
"Sister Su Yun, you have no idea." Princess Hua Rui sighed, "My Forty-Seventh Uncle... Sigh~~ You’ll see in due ti."
Her expression was truly indescribable.
"I don’t believe Wang Ningxi can still turn the tables in this situation." Princess Su Yun was brimming with confidence.
"Su Yun, what are you and this child muttering about?" Queen Lan Xin greeted them kindly, "Co over quickly; you haven’t visited in ages."
Princess Su Yun took Princess Hua Rui’s hand and stepped forward, introducing the two parties.
Subsequently ca the obligatory pleasantries.
"Su Yun, you’re quite the busy person, surely you don’t visit the Treasure Palace without a reason." Queen Lan Xin invited them to the pavilion in the garden, had soone prepare a pot of Spirit Flower Tea, and asked with a smile, "So, what are you planning to mooch this ti, Spiritual dicine?"
"Old Ancestor Lan Xin..." Faced with the question, Princess Su Yun beca shy and couldn’t bring herself to speak.
"Oh dear, Sister Su Yun, you’re too thin-skinned. Watch ." Princess Hua Rui, holding her Spirit Flower Tea, quickly recounted the whole affair, then said, "Aunt Queen Lan Xin, we have no choice but to rely on you for this matter."
Queen Lan Xin’s expression gradually turned cold: "Su Yun, are you asking to use my charms to please Hundred Refinents True Monarch?"
"This..." Princess Su Yun’s forehead was about to break into a sweat, "I know this is really asking a lot from Old Ancestor Lan Xin. But if Wang Ningxi succeeds, the entire Immortal Soldier Departnt will be significantly impacted, so..."
"Isn’t it because your people don’t respect technical professionals enough?" Queen Lan Xin said coldly, "I’ve contributed to the Immortal Dynasty my entire life, and in my old age, I still have to seduce n as a tool. Where do you want to put my old face?"
Princess Su Yun blushed with embarrassnt at her words.
"Aunt Queen Lan Xin, you can’t say it like that." Princess Hua Rui justified confidently, "Seduction is the lowest thod. To deal with a technical straight man like Hundred Refinents True Monarch, maintaining a haughty and aloof goddess deanor is the way to go. You just need to have a al with him, et him once, preferably with a colder attitude, more frosty, yes, like that, give a faintly suggestive look..."
"Besides, it’s not easy for Hundred Refinents True Monarch to make contributions all his life. What’s the harm in having a al and making a friend?"
"Hua Rui, how co you know such things at such a young age?" Princess Su Yun laughed angrily, flicking her smooth forehead hard.
"From these little script books!" Princess Hua Rui rubbed her forehead, grudgingly pulling out several deluxe printed volus, spreading them on the table for the two to see, "This one’s called ’Making Scoundrels Bare to the Core,’ this one’s ’On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Quality Technical n and Bossy CEOs,’ then there’s ’Easily Conquering Technical Straight n Thirty-Six Strategies,’ and this one’s even more impressive, ’A Guide to Classifying Admirers,’ ’Beware of Green Tea Friends.’ And these..."
With that, she pulled out another stack, introducing them to the two like treasures: "’The Scoundrel Ex-Husband Might Have Abandoned His First Wife, Three Thousand Years Later I Return as Empress,’ ’Divorcing Is Montarily Satisfying, A Crematorium After the Fact,’ ’Top Quality Immortal Emperor Only Pampers ,’ ’Flipping the World with One Hand, Slaying All n Who Betray Their Won’... These are my favorite great literary works, and I don’t show them to just anyone."
"..."
Princess Su Yun casually glanced through them and was so embarrassed by the straightforward lines and depictions that she hurriedly put away all the "literary works" and solemnly reprimanded: "Hua Rui, these are not for a child like you to read, no wonder your studies are so terrible. I’ll keep them safe for you and return them once you’re grown."
"Huh?"
Princess Hua Rui watched with hopeful eyes as Princess Su Yun collected her little script books, almost on the verge of tears but secretly muttering inside.
Oh~ These adults just love being hypocritical, clearly wanting to read them and finding an excuse to "confiscate" them.
Luckily, she was prepared and had several more sets stored in her Storage Ring.
On the other hand, Queen Lan Xin, disrupted by Hua Rui’s antics, ca to a realization: "Actually, what Hua Rui said was right. I was too concerned with appearances. Hundred Refinents is an old friend from many years. Having a al together, maintaining contact, isn’t much. Sigh~ I’ll just take it as contributing to the Immortal Dynasty once more."
