Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1123 - 1121: A Chance Encounter

"Qing Xin, I can’t take it anymore, quickly brew me a bowl of strong tea, I’m about to burst!" Changping sprawled on the chair with no regard for her image, clutching her stomach, overstuffed.

Wufu chuckled lightly, "Do you still have a bit of the commandery princess’s demeanor?"

Changping replied sheepishly, "Aren’t we friends here? Unlike those noble ladies from prestigious families, Wufu surely doesn’t restrain herself with lady-like decorum, not exposing feet when walking, taking steps less than an inch, not showing teeth when smiling, nor putting hands on her chest, right?"

"I’m not a noble lady, so I naturally don’t care much. But you, if the Princess Consort sees you like this, I’m afraid..."

Changping shrank her neck and stubbornly said, "My mother wants me to be a lady, but she doesn’t intend to turn me into a rigid daughter of wealth. Besides, I’m always wielding swords and spears, how could I possibly be a lady."

Wufu glanced at the thin callus on her tiger’s mouth and curiously asked, "Since that’s the case, you should be hanging out with daughters who share your interests, those from General’s Family who practice martial arts. How did you end up with White Lotus? She’s quite ladylike, and her attire..."

Changping said, "I’m just foolish." After a pause, she added, "There’s hardly any daughter from General’s Family that I can converse with. You just arrived in Changan, so you don’t know. This city runs deep, everyone has their own little schemes, small factions, all full of calculations. What’s the fun in that?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Saying something like that, you’re not entirely foolish." Wufu raised her eyebrows and smiled; in the Imperial Family, I doubt there’s anyone truly foolish.

Changping smiled bitterly, "Didn’t I also suffer losses?"

Wufu remained silent, and after a while said, "Friends and confidants don’t have to be many, just one or two are enough. If you get along, great; if not, just nodding acquaintances, no need to be conflicted." Recalling her past life, she basically had no friends, always solitary, though lonely, it was also less troublesome.

Changping tilted her head, thinking about these words, and laughed, "You are quite right."

"It’s getting late; we should return." Wufu said with a smile.

Changping was slightly reluctant, she quite enjoyed talking with Wufu, but considering there’s always tomorrow, she wasn’t in a rush and stood up as well.

The two walked out of the elegant room, and two other people walked out of the room next door.

"Brother Shi." Changping saw the man and called out in surprise.

Wufu’s eyes flashed quickly and then settled, what a coincidence, the two were both people she had seen before, the Tenth Prince and Fan Wu.

"It’s Minmin, why are you here?" The Tenth Prince was also a bit surprised to see Changping.

Changping replied, "I came for lunch with a friend, you..." She glanced at Fan Wu beside the Tenth Prince, blinking with some understanding.

Fan Wu smiled and took a step forward, curtsying to Changping, "Fan Wu greets Princess Changping."

Changping smiled and gestured with her hand, "No need for ceremony."

The Tenth Prince, however, looked at the woman beside Changping. Changping was known for her pride, when did she make a new friend? She seemed a bit unfamiliar.

Meanwhile, Wufu stood like a pillar, aware that the Tenth Prince was watching her, yet she remained calm, thinking how indeed the Tenth Prince had the Emperor’s favor; he was only recently grounded, and now he was out, able to go on a date with a beauty.

But about this beauty... She thought of the scene she witnessed at the Residence of the Tenth Prince, if he knew he was cuckolded, how would he react?

Wufu pondered mischievously, the more she thought, the more melodramatic it seemed: the Imperial Family’s turmoil, two princes vying for one woman. Tsk tsk, if this got out, the one known as the Lady of Good Sounds, Fifth Lady Fan, would lose her reputation, wouldn’t she?

Just lost in thought, Wufu felt a fierce glare piercing her eyes, a relentless force shooting towards them, and immediately tugged at the side of Changping, "Watch out!"
