Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 133 She actually dared to open her heart and speak...

What do you want?

Consort Rui would never say such a thing.

Chu Yue was clearly in a bad mood when she left.

As she watched her retreating figure, Granny Xiu whispered, "Your Highness, she harbors deep resentment. Is there really any possibility for her to be with our Prince?"

Unexpectedly, Consort Rui was in a good mood and said with a smile, "If there is no resentment, then there is really no possibility. The fact that there is resentment shows that she still cares about Jin'er and feels wronged."

Upon hearing this, Granny Xiu's eyes lit up immediately: "So that's how it is! Your Highness is so perceptive, you can understand this so easily!"

Consort Rui held the tea tray, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes: "However, this girl is still too arrogant. I need to temper her arrogance, otherwise, once she enters the household, I really won't be able to control her."

……

Chu Yueli left Chunhe Palace, and Zisu remained waiting at the palace gate.

Seeing her come out, I quickly followed her.

The two dismissed the palace maids and walked along the path in the inner palace. Zisu whispered, "Miss, there were two palace maids who were keeping an eye on Chunhe Palace."

Chu Yueli nodded without saying a word.

I won't even mention perilla.

Sure enough, they had barely left Chunhe Palace and hadn't even stepped onto the main road leading out of the palace when a young palace maid rushed over and said, "Miss Li, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence."

When Chu Yueli followed the palace maid into Qiankun Palace, the Empress was playing chess with the Fourteenth Prince.

The fourteenth prince was only six years old, but he had been strictly trained since childhood and now looked like a little adult.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress, greetings, Fourteenth Prince." Chu Yueli bowed immediately upon entering.

The fourteenth prince looked at her, nodded, and then turned to the empress and said, "Mother, I will go back to my room to read."

"Alright." The Empress nodded, smiling as she watched him leave.

Then, he smiled at Chu Yueli and said, "Ali, sit down."

The palace maid served tea to Chu Yueli. After that, except for Granny Lan who served the Empress, all the other palace maids and eunuchs were dismissed.

Zisu also stayed in the courtyard to wait, and didn't have a chance to come in and hear even half a sentence.

"It's getting late."

The Empress checked the time; it was already late at night.

She smiled and said, "It is indeed inconvenient for a young lady like you, Ali, to be outside the mansion at this time. In order to avoid causing you any trouble, I will keep it short."

Chu Yueli lowered her eyes, not allowing anyone to see any emotion in them: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Ah Li, what do you think of the Fourteenth Prince?" the Empress asked.

"He is exceptionally intelligent and possesses the demeanor of a king."

The Empress was very pleased upon hearing this.

But then Chu Yueli said, "But he's too young. If he wants to stand on his own, I'm afraid it will be another ten years."

The Empress frowned: "Ali, speak your mind, and I will forgive you."

"Ten years from now, no one knows whether the court will still be the same court." Chu Yueli pursed her lips and said lightly, "Recently, I have been reading some medical books, which are very helpful for the health maintenance of the elderly. If Your Majesty likes them, I will tell Your Majesty about them when I have time."

"However, as the book says, even the best medical skills can only slow down the aging process, but cannot reverse fate. Therefore, while maintaining health is possible, achieving immortality is not possible without proper methods, so please do not place too much hope on Your Majesty."

The Empress was startled, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't hold the cup.

Granny Lan quickly took the cup from her and put it on the table.

Granny Lan was also feeling uneasy.

Miss Li's words have gone too far.

Yet, it is so sincere and genuine!

She actually dared to open her heart to the Empress. Is this girl planning to pledge allegiance to the Empress?
