Chapter 266: Watching the Show
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Looking at the corridor between the first and second rooms in the courtyard, Liu Shimei fully displayed the enthusiasm of a bystander!
Coincidentally, she saw that the door to room number four was open. She walked towards Zhang Miaozhen’s room.
As expected, Zhang Miaozhen was still sitting at the round table. On the surface, she was reading a book by candlelight, but in fact, she was listening to the movements outside.
“What happened to them?” Liu Shimei raised an eyebrow at her and raised her chin towards the garden.
Zhang Miaozhen smiled faintly and gestured for her to sit down. She gave her the simplest answer, “They’re just jealous.”
It was Miss Zhang’s servant girl Lian Zhi who gave a rough account of the matter. “At the banquet, in order to liven up the atmosphere, the Crown Prince asked everyone to have a drinking game. Princess Ping’an won a jade pendant as a reward, while the Second Young Miss of the Liu family won a golden dangling ornament.”
“Let’s do this one. It’s quite fair, but who could have guessed such an ending?”
“After the banquet, when the two ladies entered the Misty Pavilion, neither of them gave in to the other. Eldest Miss Liu bumped into Princess Ping’an with all her might, and the innocent jade pendant that Princess Ping’an was holding broke!”
“This is a reward from His Highness the Crown Prince. How could Princess Ping’an be willing to suffer such a loss? She immediately snatched Second Miss Liu’s golden dangling ornament and broke it into pieces. She even stomped on it a few times, the kind that could not be repaired!”
“Then… They started fighting!”
Liu Shimei gave Lian Zhi a thumbs up and praised, “Not bad, not bad. The logic is clear and the explanation is really detailed!”
Then, she looked outside again. From this angle, she could vaguely see the shadows of the few people pulling and swaying on the corridor through the flowers.
She looked at Zhang Miaozhen and smiled. “Well, when women are fighting, there’s really nothing to see! Other than slapping, pulling hair, or tearing clothes! It’s ugly enough, but the actual damage isn’t much!”
Zhang Miaozhen’s eyes flashed with a smile as she said, “So, I heard that the last time you directly fractured Second Miss Liu’s leg?”
Isn’t that so?
This was real damage!
Liu Shimei stiffened and took a deep breath. “Strictly speaking, I asked my King Dun Yu to beat him up. I didn’t expect him to be so violent! He’s a child. It was understandable that he couldn’t control his strength, right?”
Zhang Miaozhen could not help but cover her mouth and laugh at this humorous statement.
Liu Shimei sighed exaggeratedly. “I’ve paid the price too. Didn’t my father beat me half to death? Miaozhen, are you gloating?”
“No, no.” Zhang Miaozhen hurriedly waved her hand to deny it, but she still had a smile on her lips as she said, “If you ask me, although I probably can’t do this kind of thing, it would indeed a one-time thing..”
Looking at the two people fighting like that, wasn’t it disturbing their peace?
Liu Shimei looked at Zhang Miaozhen and asked curiously, “By the way, what do you think?”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Miaozhen was slightly stunned and looked at her.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince!” Liu Shimei raised her head as a matter of course.
At the mention of this, the smile on Zhang Miaozhen’s face faded and she said, “What can I think? Let’s leave it to fate.”
Liu Shimei understood that Miss Zhang might not like Huangfu He.
However, it did not matter whether she liked him or not!
Suddenly, Liu Yan’er’s mournful cries came from the other side. “Yu Wanqing, I’m going to kill you!”
Liu Shimei frowned and looked at Zhang Miaozhen, asking, “Shall we go over and take a look?”
