However, it was no wonder that the pearl would have such a huge reaction. The master of the Dongfang manor treats his servants extremely well. Especially since she was the Dongfang family's precious daughter, she acted as if she didn't care about the estate … Uh! Although she didn't bully anyone, it was true that even the steward had to give her some face.

In the years she had followed Dongfang Ziqing, she had never been punished (although she would be scolded) whenever Dongfang Ziqing caused trouble. However, when she stirred up trouble, Dongfang Ziqing would take the blame for her. She would not forget to share any good stuff.

"I do." With a wave of her hand, the child left the room first. Dongfang Ziqing awkwardly raised her teacup to drink her tea, not looking at Pearl who had crossed her waist.

It really was … So embarrassing! Even though she believed that Pearl really had the ability to crush other people to death!

"As long as Miss knows how loyal Pearl is to the Lord." She sat down on a stool and once again put on her tired, bitter face, thinking about her favorite crystal cake.

After sneakily glancing at the pearl, Dongfang Ziqing secretly stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself about when it would be more appropriate for her to see Xuanyuan Chen Mo.

There was already an engagement between them, and they would be together for the rest of their lives.

However, there were some words that she needed to clarify with Xuanyuan Chen Mo. For example, she would never share a husband with another woman. Don't know, isn't this too much?

While Dongfang Ziqing's thoughts were flying about, the storytelling in the main hall had already begun …

"Even though this Emperor Mo is the young Son of Heaven, he has few accomplishments. Moreover, with the help of the Prime Minister of Dongfang Shuo and General Dongfang Zihan, how could the country not be powerful?" In the teahouse, the storyteller slapped the wood in his hand as he began to narrate the Dongfang family's legend. Speaking of which, the Prime Minister of the East was the Emperor of two generations, while the General of the East was a seven-year-old general. If this Xuanyuan Wentian weighs a thousand catties, the Dongfang family's eight hundred catties! "

The storyteller's words were as eloquent as a river, unceasing on and on about the situation of Xuanyuan Kingdom. Naturally, it was mixed with his personal views. Just as everyone was engrossed in listening to this, they were interrupted by an extremely incongruous voice.

"How dare you!" Suddenly, a clear and melodious sound came from the second floor's private room. Although one could only see the blurry outline of the girl outside the private room and not her appearance, hearing her voice that sounded like an oriole coming out of a valley caused one to let their imagination run wild. A storyteller dares talk so much about court affairs, so watch your head carefully! " The woman's shout was extremely terrifying, even though it was only for a split-second.

"The young lady's teachings are correct." The storyteller did not get angry even though he had been hollered at. Even the drinkers were not angered. Instead, they respectfully nodded their heads and continued with their storytelling, "Now that the world is at peace, the monarch is on the same side. Today, what we want to say is that this young man will choose his concubine! "

As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, the entire crowd fell silent. Although the selection of the emperor's consort had yet to be officially initiated, it was still a topic of concern for the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom, especially the matter of a married woman!

Tsk tsk. "The storyteller continued," Since ancient times, the empress dowager has had seventy-two concubines, but the Son of Heaven has never had a single concubine. Rumor has it that the Son of Heaven has a crush on her. "As for this beloved lady …" The storyteller paused intentionally to give the customer some time to guess and discuss.

After a moment, the storyteller slapped his wooden stick and continued, "Everyone said that this girl is the Prime Minister's daughter — — Dongfang Ziqing. But who knew that she would enter deep into the sea outside the palace?

The storyteller sighed. He seemed to be lamenting for the Eastern Ziqing, but he also seemed to be lamenting for the destiny this segment of the population was relishing.

After another round of analysis of the pros and cons, the storyteller sighed and said: "Deep in the palace, Yun Xin is at least a hundred years old. "Since it's so shallow, how can it be so deep in love!"

'Bang! ' In the private room on the second floor, the sound of porcelain cups shattering was heard. However, it was drowned out by the discussions in the restaurant. Only the storyteller glanced over with a calm expression, leaving behind a faint smile.

In the room on the second floor, the woman looked down at the broken teacup and whispered, "Since it is shallow, how can I be deep in love with it?"

"Miss!" "Don't listen to that storyteller's nonsense. Since your age, your majesty has been intimate with the young miss. If the position of Empress wasn't Miss's, who else would be more qualified?!" The little girl could not bear to look at the worried look on the young miss' face. This was the first time she had seen her frown!

As for the master and servant, they were none other than Dongfang Ziqing and Pearl.

However, right next to this private room was another pair of men and women who were repeating the same words.

After a long while, the two who were staring at each other turned their faces away, their eyes filled with bitterness. After a while, he heard the woman in white say with a sobbing tone, "Xue'er will listen to Brother Chen Mo's words. Please rest assured Brother Chen Mo."

Even if her fate was really shallow, she couldn't help but feel deep in love! However, she had given her heart to this young man, the Son of Heaven, and the Empress could only be a girl called Dongfang Ziqing, not the person he was in love with!

Leaning back on her chair, the woman in white's face was gloomy. Even the light in her eyes had long since faded away, revealing a deep sense of sorrow.

The man he loved the most, not only had to break the promise he had made to himself, but he had also given himself a difficult task. However, she couldn't even refuse him. How could she not feel sad?!

"Brother Chen Mo, Xue'er is willing to go to Dongfang Zihan's side, is willing to spy on the Dongfang manor for you!" "Closing her eyes, she allowed her tears to roll down her cheeks, silently feeling sorry for her own fate." However, please don't forget your promise to Xue'er, Silent Brother. Even if Snow is... "Yes …"

Biting her lower lip, the white-clothed woman could not say any of the words that made her feel embarrassed.

If she was a ruined flower, would she still be able to become a woman that stood by the side of the emperor? Even if he kept his promise and married her, would she still be like how she was now, protected by his palm?

He half opened his eyes and looked at his snow-white clothes. He felt an endless bitterness in his heart.

In the future, he would no longer have the qualifications to wear these clothes which symbolized purity. She could no longer be Xue'er who was as white as snow …

"Xue'er!" Standing up, Xuanyuan Chen Mo stepped forward and hugged the woman in white to his chest as he rubbed her long hair, unwilling to part with her. He swallowed the words that were almost at the tip of his tongue. "He cannot go back on his decision, or else there will be even more trouble!" Big Brother Chen Mo will absolutely not go back on your words! "

Not wanting to say those painful words, Xuanyuan Chen Mo had to promise again.

Even if she became Dong Fang Zihan's woman, his love for her would not decrease! What Xue'er had done for him, he would use his entire life's worth of love to repay …

"Brother Chen Mo …" As she softly called out Xuanyuan Chen Mo's name, the white-clothed woman wrapped her arms around Xuanyuan Chen Mo's waist and sobbed softly.

This hug might be the last hug, or it might be the beginning of a life …

But she was really scared. If she was found out, it might implicate him. What would she do then?
