Chapter 260 - Princess And The Pauper

Lady Zhao and Elizabeth walked together to check the replay of their take. 

"I see you're finally back Li Zi," Elder Director Mo smiled seeing the girl was able to express her genuine feelings during the take.

"Thanks."

"Alright everyone will do the next take in 10 minutes." 

Elizabeth excused herself as she rested on a chair. All that intense moment between her and her mother was mentally draining. She thought she would fail, but who knew, all she needed to do was be herself. 

"Sis Li Zi I got you your drink," Liying handed her the chill water with slices of lemon and cuc.u.mber. 

"Thank Liying," she replied with a big relieved that she was able to pull herself together. 

Whilst the two actresses were resting everyone, then notice another similarity about them.

"Lady Zhao and Li Zi are drinking the same water with slices of cuc.u.mber and lemon."

"Not only that, the way they drink it is so alike and elegant."

As they continued and finished the rest of the take for the day. Lady Zhao decided to invite everyone to dine with her at her place to celebrate the success of their first day at work. 

When they all arrived at Imperial Garden Plaza. As they entered the community gate, everyone was bewildered as they witness the most extravagant place every, most of the houses were like a mini palace, at the same time, they were shocked to see most of the state powerful and influential leaders were out for a walk late at night. 

"So this is the Legendary Community of Elite." 

"Almost all the most important state leaders must leave here."

"I heard, this area is so well protected by militaries since most leaders live here and the land belongs to the Zhao Family." 

Inside Li Zi's Van...

The young girl's expression was not pleased at all, after her mother announced to everyone she'll be throwing a dinner party for them at their place. She felt like screaming at the same time throw a fit of her mother's ridiculous action. 

'Li Zi, is something wrong?" Wang Ji asked, noticing the girl was not in the right mood.

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect this would happen." She sighed.

"Sis Li Zi, isn't this amazing? We get to see the Legendary Family Home. The most powerful military family in our country for a generation home at the same time the home of the Legendary Princess." Liying said full of excitement.

"Do you really wish to meet the Legendary Princess?" Elizabeth asked, somehow curious about how the girl will respond. 

"Of course, she is the only daughter of Lord Knightley and Lady Zhao. It is rumored she isn't only the heiress of the Knightley wealth, but also the Zhao since General Zhao's son is more focus on military." Liying explained with such delight in her face

"That's true, the men in the Zhao prefer to focus on politics and military. It was Elder Chief Zhao's late wife's family who established the business." Wang Ji added.

"But wasn't it in the news that she returned to England after what happened to Li Zi?" Jiang Ru inquired.

"That's true," Liying sighed disappointedly being unable to meet the Young Princess.

Elizabeth burst into laughter seeing Liying's upset expression after realizing the Young Princess was no longer in the country. 

'Liying, you've been working and serving the Young Princess for months now. So this means Liying really hasn't recognized me or just playing around. Who knows...'

"I wonder if there is any picture of what the Young Princess and does she look like Lady Zhao?" Liying curiously blurted out. 

Elizabeth's expression drastically changes after hearing what Liying just mentioned. She quickly got her phone and message someone. How stupid was she to forget something so important?

...

Inside Lady Zhao's Van

The woman couldn't stop laughing after reading the message she received. 

"Lady Zhao is something wrong?" one of her assistants asked.

"Oh Chouxin, what am I gonna do with my daughter," she laughed whilst wiping the tears on her face.

"Why did she say something?" a male stylist asked.

"Check this out, Elliot." she passed him her phone. 

Elliot started laughing as well as he returned the phone to Lady Zhao and explained to everyone ending up everyone to burst out in laughter as well. 

[Mom: Baby, can you stop worrying? Everyone already thinks you look like my daughter.]

[Princess: Mom are you crazy? The pictures at home looked exactly like me, not the so-called Young Princess everyone thinks.]

[Mom: I'm sure even if they suspect you are my daughter they won't say a word about it.]

[Princess: Mom can you just please ask everyone to hide some of my photos.]

[Mom: Fine, I'll have them hide your latest photos, but the rest stays.]

[Princess: Thank you *kiss emoji*]

Lady Zhao quickly called the house servant informing them of the arrangement her daughter requested. 

When they all finally arrived at the estate. Everyone's jaw was opened wide as they were in disbelief in seeing such grand estate. 

"It's as big as the Presidential Palace."

"It's not a mansion, but a palace."

"The land itself is so huge, it's like a maze."

Lady Zhao looked at all of them and smiled seeing such an expression on their face. 

"Would you all like a quick tour?"

Everyone nodded their heads as they went inside the house. As they toured some of the rooms since there are more than a hundred rooms not including the different storage rooms, guest houses, barn houses, and other cottages. 

They all checked out the different dining areas, lounge room, tv room, movie theater, game room, bar room, kitchen, music rooms,  libraries and the different offices of the elders. But what amazed them and excite them the most was visiting the different rooms that the Young Princess used.

"This is her private library." Lady Zhao said. 

As they continued to visit different places, Lady Zhao brought them out of the garden and took them to Elizabeth's studio house.

"This is the Young Princess work."

"I've seen one of the painting auctions last year."

"You're all right, this is her studio, which used to be my mother's studio house."

Everyone checks out the different paintings being displayed and the unfinished painting as well. When suddenly one of them noticed a familiar canvas. 

"Hey, guys check this out."

When everyone went closer to where the person was calling them. Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Isn't this painting almost exactly alike to the painting, Li Zi did for Perfect?"

"You're right, it's almost the same."

Elizabeth, who was standing away from the crowd averted her look from them. 

"Could it just be a coincidence that Li Zi and the Young Princess not only look alike but also think alike?"

"Li Zi are you sure you're not related to Lady Zhao?"

"Don't be silly have you all forgotten Li Zi is an orphan, and I'm sure if she is a relative of Lady Zhao and the Zhao family, they won't want their own flesh and blood to be alone in this world," Liying said seeing how uncomfortable Li Zi was about the situation. 

"That's true, maybe Li Zi really is just someone who looks and thinks like the Young Princess. You know, like the movie   but of course, you're not a pauper Li Zi."

Everyone started laughing at the person's remarks. As they all realize Li Zi's situation is almost exactly like the movie. 

"Alright everyone, it's getting late, let's head back to eat."

As they all gathered at the back to the house, the foods were already prepared and displayed outside. The servants brought out different dishes whilst one of the chefs was busy preparing the BBQ. 

"Lady Zhao thank you."

"Goddess you're the best."

"You're all welcome, come now, let's all dig in." 

Everyone didn't hesitate and dive into the different food, especially they were prepared by top-class chefs who work for the Zhao family for years. 

"Liying, go on and eat already," Elizabeth said, noticing the girl has not moved at all. 

"Sis Li Zi, are you sure we're allowed to eat such heavenly food?" Liying answered with watery eyes, eager to eat all the food. 

Elizabeth was about to burst out laughing hearing Liying's ridiculous comment, "Liying the food were cooked for us to eat not for you to just stare at." 

She went over to the BBQ stand and asked one of the chefs to hand her a cabad, she then gave it to Liying, "Here, try it."

Liying was a little hesitant, but once she tried it her eyes sparkled as the juicy meat melt inside her mouth. 

"S-Sis Li Zi, i-its so yummy." she smiled from ear to ear. Over the moon by the favor of the BBQ she was eating 

"I know you'll like it," she chuckled delight to see her finally eating. 

"Sis Li Zi, I'm gonna go and get some more."
